It’s so nice to see you active! You’re always so interesting

Thanks! Let’s be interesting and discuss why Maui is actually on fire shall we?

Tourism

Introduction of non-native species

Water diversion for tourism

More water diversion

Plantations which are owned by the big 5

Other fucked up shit I hate:

Swiss family Robinson is based on the Robinson family who own the entire island of Niʻihau (if this Wikipedia page doesn’t just make you want to riot and vomit idk what will)

The loss of fully endemic (meaning found nowhere else on earth) plants and animals

Disrespect for cultural lands that is nearly never ending

I could seriously rant forever with rage but maybe you guys can learn something from this and spread the truth of what’s happening in Hawai’i. If you guys only knew… 🤢🤬

Oh yeah, also Hawaii is illegally occupied by the US government— oh and one of the big 5, you know Dole? Like the huge fruit manufacturer who grows pineapples (not native to Hawaii btw) and bananas? Well he was first governor…

Just like all the US where natives were brutally assimilated and removed from their ancestral lands because of “manifest destiny”

i was looking for a warehouse job, then i realized they’re not gonna pay me something fair enough, so i pretended like i was genuinely interested in the gig, drove back, and never looked back. the hiring manager was like texting me but i straight up was like “hey man sorry but the commute is too far and you ain’t paying me that much so ima have to pass” LMFAO. and then i had to fill up my gas for nearly $60 usd. that’s how my life is going.

#warehouse jobs are meh. working in general is meh #capitalism is a curse

Let’s Talk About: Starseeds

Ohhh I have so many thoughts. Mostly, I used to write views pieces every week in college and I really enjoyed having a public written forum to express my frustrations and thoughts. I don’t have all the answers on this topic, but maybe this opens up a dialogue we can all grow from.

First, what the heck is a starseed?

The concept of starseeds are rooted in the thought that there are different soul races or more like origin points and that embues the soul with certain advantages in certain areas, like technology for example. I sort of think of this as like soul expertises and certain groups have certain more innate skills.

The idea is that earth is on a trajectory for self-destruction and that other groups are trying to help earth evolve. These other races or soul have charitably infiltrated earth as a way to help it evolve.

These starseeds incarnate as earth humans to help teach lessons about unconditional love—something humanity struggles with— and the way society could be—think less capitalism, more secured housing and being able to do with your time whatever inspires you because you are given what you need. Different soul origins have different specialties, not all other places are benevolent. Some other places don’t value emotion the same as others. It’s just differences.

So what’s the big deal?

I struggle with the starseed concept because I feel like creating groups creates exclusion. Maybe it’s hard for me as a human to think differently, but I feel like if there were races and other labels based on inherent differences in soul fabric, it would create this idea of division rather than unity.

It’s hard for me to see soul ages or hierarchies of any kind in the energetic world because that’s not how they communicate and organize group structures. So many spiritual teachers say that certain souls are considered grand masters, and older souls are wiser, certain souls are special or this rare thing. It’s all ego stroking to feel special.

They don’t organize souls by races or by gender or any of these human labels. I think people apply human labels because they can only conceive of things through human understanding. That’s why I struggle for words sometimes because the thought itself is outside the realm of humanity.

The way I can explain it is they see things as just purely differences. There’s nothing attached to it. It’s like every element of all these energies are needed to make a full picture. You’re pink. I’m blue. Because both colors are needed equally. Full acceptance of what you are.

Spirituality as a means to uphold the capitalistic patriarchal status quo:

I struggle with how the spiritual community upholds so many gender stereotypes through the perpetuation of male and female energies. I prefer to say assertive and receptive energies, knowing when to push or pull. Because assigning certain traits as masculine or feminine is upholding a capitalistic economic system that encourages certain traits in men because they are useful for labor and certain traits in women because it’s useful for childrearing.

And yes, I believe anything connected to gender or sex is ultimately a direct reflection of the patriarchy and what it imposes on us all. So in order to truly free our LGBTQIAP+ family and friends, we have to abolish the patriarchy. It is the ideology that uphold men as superior to women.

Why are MTF individuals highly targeted, because to step down from a position of power is so confusing and upsetting on a subconscious level for many men. This is deeply ingrained patriarchal poisoning. The same poisoning that had women voting for Trump. We have to truly become equals to end the patriarchal system and that only happens when people understand each other on a very deep level.

How is it capitalistic?

Glad you asked! The concepts around starseeds are still steeped in capitalistic spirituality, the form that also produces scammy gurus. So many people use this idea and concept to prey on vulnerable people and make money. When more people buy into a trend it creates a larger energy imprint because more collective people are thinking about the same thing. That’s why I don’t like to use the term twin flame, the toxic collective thoughts around the term.

This idea of starseeds still envisions a world of cities, people focused on technology, all HUMAN things. Do you see what I’m saying about the mind being limited? We cannot conceive of how else it may be because we only know this experience of ourselves through our humanity. I have memories of being able to do other things, but I believe those skills used to be more easy to do on earth. It’s heavier here now and the energy doesn’t support it. Like bending elements.

This world still has governing bodies, it envisions a more utopian version of the capitalistic world we already have. They envision these races upholding diplomacy and how some places are bad and others are good. And this is the capitalistic colonizer mindset! This group of souls is low vibe and evil and this group is high vibe and benevolent. That’s why I try not to talk about lower energies negatively. That energy is needed as part of the full mural of existence. To label one as lesser or less desirable, it’s not how it is. They are just different.

The issue at the moment is that the balance is uneven on earth, too many lower vibratory energies are being supported here because of all the destruction to the earth (thriving plants help absorb so many of those lower vibes). That’s why we’re all here to “raise the vibration” To try to rebalance the planet before it falls off the table.

And the idea of starseeds is sort of racist:

There are certain “good races” like the Pleiadeans who are known to have Nordic features, while certain “bad races” or “low vibe” races like the reptilians (which is actually anti-Semitic), are displayed as less colorful—grey or black, dark colors. I feel like I don’t have time explain that that also mirrors currently valued physical features which are again, human understood features. The having to go through mind to translate is so fucking hard y’all!

In conclusion:

The idea of starseeds is challenging for me because I feel so vastly that there are other places we experience other humanoid experiences and some of us do prefer other places over others. I’ve said before I’m not a huge earth fan. But so much of the modern spiritual concepts people perpetuate, since it’s almost a collectively held thought now, are rooted in racism and capitalism and sexism and things I just fucking hate about humanity!

So while I see myself reflected in qualities of the races of starseeds I’ve read about, and while I feel like some of the ways the other planets are described feels familiar, I also can use my discernment to say, some of that doesn’t resonate with me or make sense so I discard it. I find learning about starseeds is helpful just like learning about astrology is helpful. They are all tools for self understanding.

But it’s also important to call out things that perpetuate systems of oppression. Because that’s the exact shit we’re trying to liberate from.

sometimes you get hit with a painful memory from when your father loved alcohol too much, and it’s the middle of your shift and it almost breaks you down, but someone has to take table 15’s order and cut up berries so you shove it to the back of your mind until it’s 11pm and you’re crying in your bed.

When even the most modest of expectations are met in rejection, (self sustenance, independence, a single apartment, no fear when feeling happiness) , know that you’re drowning in capitalism.
