The Art of Surrendering: Exploring Ho’oponopono as a Path to Inner Peace

The Art of Surrendering: Exploring Ho’oponopono as a Path to Inner Peace Introduction: In the fast-paced and often chaotic world we live in, finding inner peace can feel like an elusive goal. As we navigate the challenges of daily life, it’s not uncommon to accumulate stress, resentment, and emotional baggage.

#worth reading/listen to rn seeing how western politicians and the media keeps relying on the 'Big Scary Iran' narrative #to justify the ongoing genocide in gaza #(with iran presented as this 'puppet master' dictating the actions of non-US aligned groups in the region) #before the words 'iran-backed' leaves your mouth you should at least be able to identify who the axis of resistance is and why they exist #also... what happened in iran in 1953? who was mosaddegh? what were his political goals and achievements? and so on #anyway... #palestine #axis of resistance #iran #ansarallah #hezbollah

i know i use radfem as a shorthand for the gyns on here who Believe those Beliefs but i think radical feminism is something one does, not an identity, and i think part of our collective problem is that we're all still submerged in the deep fryer that is identity politics

#i don't think of myself as a feminist bc i don't do feminist action #i do... feminist INactions lol. not shaving. not wearing makeup. not growing my hair out. not dating men. #i try to prioritize women in my life and creatively #but to me feminism is activism #i think we need to get back to talking abt feminist ACTIONS over feminist identity #and then ppl maybe wouldn't take it so hard hearing ''this is not a feminist action'' vs hearing ''you are not a feminist'' #should you try to align your life with your beliefs? of course #but also doing non-feminist things is not necessarily cancelling out every feminist thing you do lol it just doesn't work like that

Hiii, i love your stuff and kinda from a distance really look up at you for, in my perception, being able to express yourself without giving a fuck. Thats sick dude, Im so so afraid, of absolutely everything, its nice to think like i might grow into someone less apologetic of my existence. Nice to see people just being yknow

hey, thank you, this is really really nice. the secret that is probably not a secret is that i am also deeply afraid a lot of the time lmao -- but less than i used to be, and in ways that feel less stifling and self-suffocating, if that makes sense.

like, it used to be "i'm scared that if i express myself the way i want to, everyone will find me obnoxious, so let's just sand those edges down to be safe" -- now my fears are more like "now that i'm expressing myself in a way that feels natural and real, i'm afraid that it's all stupid/vapid/not worthwhile or meaningful" (<- specifically abt my art) or "i'm happy that i talk and act the way i want to now, but what if it makes me impossible to befriend," etc etc etc. which still feels bad and puts me in a funk a lot of the time but at least it's a fear that comes After/in reaction to doing stuff, rather than a fear that STOPS me from doing stuff, you know? like, it's evolved into a kind of fear that's less in my way.

anyway. i believe you'll experience something like this, because wanting to grow is the first step of growing. the fact that u hope or wish for something different means you're already on your way. to fewer fucks!! or at least distributing the fucks u give in a way that serves u better

#stuff like accepting that i'm reserved and i'm not very accessible via messages. #or that my online tone isn't very bubbly and it's weird and uncomfortable to force it. #i stop letting fears about that shape my behavior ('i'll look mean or snotty so let's force markers of Friendliness to avoid that!!') - #- and instead act the way i want to and then trade it in for new fears that come After the action. #also a good reminder to give urself is that if ur fear is abt how other ppl perceive u (as 90% of mine is personally) #u really... can't actually control that. and being very very anxious abt it all the time is usually ur brain throwing a tantrum abt not-- #--having that control. bc it is understandably very scary that u don't have that control #as much as it sucks + is terrifying the truth is the only thing u can do is ask urself 'am i behaving in a way that i'm proud of' #'am i behaving in a way that's in alignment w my values + what i think is important' #bc if the answer to that is yes and somebody hates u or is deeply offended by ur existence anyway. well. literally not ur problem #but obv being at peace w that is way way easier said than done + requires tons of practice and will take. probably. years. which is fine #i am stuck with myself. i can either contort myself forever trying to be someone everyone will like and find totally nonthreatening and- #inoffensive and in the process exhaust myself totally and never feel safe or natural myself. OR #i can say okay. so i am a kind of prickly guy with stern and drab speech patterns and close to no social energy. and i think i can still be #-sexy and fun this way. and it is up to other ppl to figure out if they can agree w me on that #ANYWAY enough rambling for now. just another one of those things i think abt a lot so i have a lot of ready-made sentences abt it in mind

qPhilza experts would you consider qPhil to be a true neutral since his main priorities is keeping his people safe?? Or do you think he switches around or belongs somewhere else?

#i dont usually characterise characters on alignments but i think it’s interesting for phil bc painfully im so aware of his personal bias #which makes his actions feel so true neutral when they can be chaotic or evil or lawful yk the whole jist #i only casual watch him when im free so im asking the experts in the field #qsmp #qsmp philza

Our stay on this earth is so so short, we’re in such a dream state that we keep forgetting this truth

#there’s this girl in my area who died two days ago just like that #collapsed due to the heat and then had a heart attack and died #الله يرحمها #she’s like 19/20 #people our age are dying right next to us #yet we think we’re safe and still have time to improve to change to repent #what great regret it’ll be if we don’t die in the state of true sincere repentance but in one of ghaflah and self deception and sin #being consumed by your nafs by this world and sucked into it #اللهم اني اسالك حسن الخاتمة #we’re so lost in our worldly struggles and ideas and desires that we forget what we’re here for #you can live on this earth and engage with people and enjoy your stay even if you always keep your heart in check and your deeds aligned #with what Allah swt wants #you can turn all your actions into worship by having the right intention #eating sleeping -> to gain strength for worship and be of benefit for people #studying working -> learn about the beauty and intricacy that Allah has put into His creation #work to achieve what Allah has written for you #that’s true life connecting everything to the Creator the One who gave us life #everything else is just deception and will go to waste #and cannot be called a true life

"jk rowling is a billionaire she won't notice me buying/not buying her video game" but your trans friends will

#jk has explicitly stated that in her view everyone who supports her content also supports her violet campaign against trans people #why would you want to align yourself with that for a video game based in tropes that are frankly done better elsewhere #listen i LOVED hp as a kid my 11th birthday was a whole sorting hat year 1 theme. but the whole thing is tainted #id rather turn to other magic wizard stories than align myself with that #''ill just pirate it'' ok but the game is antisemitic and the source material is filled with racist tropes? why is that fun #idk. terf anons will be blocked and not posted s #o don't even try it #(also collective action does work + the boycotting of the game has made a noticeable impact so actually she will notice you not buying it)

I'm bi and yeah your note on women not having solidarity seems sadly true. Apart from not dating men would there be anything you would suggest to improve ones life apart from stating away from those women if possible?

I love this question because this is how to start thinking: being practical.

What it takes to "improve ones life" is subjective so with that said firstly define what a better life(style) for yourself away from moids would look like. Temporarily mentally remove xy terrorist existence. What would your habits/routine be? What would you work towards & pour your energy into? What would you want to be? What would you center your life around? Take your time with these questions or anymore that come up. Have a general idea then be more specific and start breaking your life down into sectors/sections/areas, then look at where you want to be in those areas and work towards it.

For example; I divide my life into 6-7 aspects:

Physical Strength - Not just about muscle but knowing how to fight, where to hit and when to fight. Being stronger makes it easier to defend yourself in altercations (especially with other women). Some mfs will try you & you cant always rely on others coming to your rescue. Also work on building stamina to help endurance, and keeping as healthy as possible.

Emotional Strength - If you cant control your emotions they will control you. In a world of chaos being emotionally strong will let you cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters. Building emotional strength is not easy but it's worth it. Being able to rise above immediate reactions and pace yourself will allow you to assess situations more rationally & make more beneficial choices.

Finances - Get your bag up. Having money to gain resources is imperative to quality of life. I dont care what anyone says having a certain amount of money in life WILL make you happier as you're able to meet your needs better. Having more money/resources also makes it easier to support other women should you choose to do so, it also allows you to be more influential and have more control over your life. However, dont become a slave to getting money tho because that's how you get scammed.

Network - The type of people you hang around can make or break who you are as a person. Aim to connect with likeminded women who will encourage & inspire you as you go on this journey. Hang around people that value & will be honest with you while giving you grace. Not all women you engage with have to be single & childfree but beware the moid crazy ones because they will bring danger to you in their quest for maIe validation. Life isn't perfect but you cant go wrong having the right people around you, valuable relationships are hard to find but it goes a long way even if it's just online. However, no company > bad company.

Spirituality/Guide - Having something bigger than yourself to guide you through the chaos in this world can offer guidance/purpose that keeps you grounded & focused. For many people generally this is religion/god. Not everyone needs or ascribes to religion/spirituality though, but at least consider sets of morals/beliefs to follow. However even that isn't for everyone. So if you feel better off without spirituality or a 'higher' guide at least be clear on it & your reasons why (for yourself).

Hobbies & Interests - As turbulent as the world is, find things to enjoy amidst the chaos. Constant work, doom, and gloom will not change anything you will only hurt yourself. Take time to indulge in things that make you happy to recharge & relax. Engage in hobbies that serve you, share your passion with other women & hear theirs out too. It goes a long way in terms of mental health.

Security - It takes privilege to decide to not get married or have children as a woman & live it out. Everyone's situation is different so what I'll generally suggest is to constantly look into how you can protect yourself, have backup methods, and stay in the loop of xy predation. Dont drown in it but moids are predators & being completely blind to them is being blind to danger. Elaborated on point 10 here.

Sounds like a lot? Great, it'll keep you busy because this isn't a vacation or destination but a lifestyle. And to be honest, some of y'all can do with the busyness as it'll let you focus on what actually matters. This not to say to overwhelm yourself in things for the sake of it but to prioritise your energy on effective things for your life. As you focus on building you'll find that you have less energy to care about insignificant stuff or stuff out of your control anyways. For example, Instead of getting wound up about user somerandomadjectivefem stirring discourse calling you an extremist or whining about how impossible it is for her & other women to live without romantic love n' whatnot (or even women irl pulling this crap), you either ignore or quickly shut down the conversation & swiftly move on.

Everything I've mentioned are just examples, you may feel differently do whatever you feel best applies. Also remember to enjoy the process along the way as you are living through it afterall :3

Long story short: Work on building resources & other aspects of your life up for yourself.

#Many tend to shy away from the single childfree lifestyle bc the traditional map/railguards aren't there but thats the fun part of it #for me is figuring it out; figuring myself & the world out; trial-and-error to carve an environment & lifestyle best for me #Few side notes bc I dont want the blog to be too long: #Regarding physical strength: I know that no amount of training will make you as strong as the average moid but it isnt in vain #as other women can also act up & there's a higher chance of taking them on successfully without weapons vs xys. #Regarding section on being busy: Personally I dont care for discourse surrounding this topic because my mind is on other things like making #sure my reps for the day are in; making sure I'm staying up-to-date with knowledge I need to do my job; building sources of income #outside of my job;engrossing myself in my interests; for example. You become productively busy enough & what other women do doesnt bother #you. That's not to say completely ignore or not criticise moid-aligned actions; but dont spend too much time wallowing in doing so. #female separatist #female separatism #blackpill feminism #blackpill feminist #wineauntmovement #wine aunt #decentering men

Guys, as many parallels we try to see between Wren and Jude, ultimately it is Wren and Cardan who are parallel characters.

Being unloved your entire life? Thinking that you don't matter and living on the edge, whether that edge is perpetual drunkeness or wilderness habitation? Having a mother whom you hate, who believes she can control you? Being betrayed by the person who promised you freedom? Hating them for betraying you because acknowledging that you love them is the most painful thing you can think of? Having power that might make you even more of a monster even though you never wanted it? Becoming monarch because you know that it is your destiny, even if it is a destiny you don't want?

Wren and Cardan are the true contemporaries, two monarchs sentenced to doom.

#oak and jude are similar in the more obvious sense #cunning #their father is the same #clever #murderous #influenced by the horrors and violence of their early childhood #yet surrounded by people who love them #even if their family's and their own goals don't align #the love they feel for their family shines through in all their actions #there's more in this interpretation but im too sleepy to think anymore #tell me you see it tho #rb with opinions #the stolen heir duology #the stolen heir #the stolen heir spoilers #oak greenbriar #prince oak #oak x suren #oak #queen suren #suren #oak x wren #wren #cardan greenbriar #jude duarte #the cruel prince #the wicked king #the queen of nothing #the folk of the air #jurdan

finished the bg3 ironhand gnome plotline today and was wondering about the pulse of the fandom so i checked and

turns out almost everyone who played this game is a coward!! doesn’t see that bg3’s commentary on violence can be about resistance by any means necessary to the point that you turn the knife on every single one of the people you once called friend

#[slaps car] this baby can fit so much dialectics about direct action in it! #really makes you think how much of wulbren’s motivation is the ironhand vs gondian religious affiliations & history of violence or #an absolute last tactic to stop gortash whatever the cost. which only tracks if #wulbren was gearing up to kill himself in moonrise towers so the absolute wouldn’t get his runepowder design. #like that’s the line between viewing his pov as an underdog tyrant or going scorched earth as a result of a lifetime of desperation. #which way did he get radicalized? in trying to kill the gondians is he aligning with the absolute and bhaal on purpose or despite it all? #and (i say this only knowing about bg1 and not the details of the bg3 durge playthrough) the bhaalspawn is bg’s commentary on #violence as inheritance. fate vs freedom. the ways in which we take our parents with us. & wulbren/barcus could extend this politically #think about it. think about it! #barcus wroot #wulbren bongle #bg3

Naruto fandom: We SAW Itachi was traumatized as a kid. As a 4-year-old. Had his formative years ruined with a burden by both the village and the clan. Had to make impossible decisions the responsibility of which he took on his shoulders. Regretted all his actions. Never believed he deserved forgiveness, love, and compassion from anyone. He died in guilt and disgrace believing this was what he deserved.

Also Naruto fandom: What shitty logic can we use to contradict everything we know from canon to discard his trauma and pain and pretend he was a completely mentally stable kid/teen who made all the decisions himself with no heavy conscience and then also blame his fans for actually seeing through all of this. Also how can we defend our favorites from Naruto itself and other fandoms because..?

#media literacy in naruto fandom is zilch #the double standards and hypocrisy of the fandom is something else #although i'll admit itachi alone isn't the victim of this hypocrisy #sasuke for example is also a victim of this hypocrisy #people shit on him and his fans too #being a fan of these brothers is HARD #itachi's actions are all in alignment of his trauma and his life #happens every time #itachi #pro itachi #anti naruto fandom #kind of a rant #mine
