New day, new audiobook:

Initiated

by Amanda Yates Garcia, read by the author

I just started it literally a few minutes ago and I already have thoughts. I'll wait to post them for now, because it wouldn't be fair to jump in now, buuuuuuut

There's a lot going on and her tone of voice is throwing me off. I shall report back.

Onward, ho!

"Left to their own devices, most teenage girls are natural witches, and I was no exception. I played fortune-telling games with folded paper and contacted spirits with Ouija boards. I let the spirit of the Lover possess me as I made out with my friends. At slumber parties we used rhythmic chants to lift each other to the ceiling with our pinky fingers. We wore mood rings and ankhs and vials of blood around our necks."

Amanda Yates Garcia - Initiated

[chicagognosis]

Spiritual initiation is never granted unto persons in the physical world, but refers to developments and awakenings within the individual soul based on specific conscious works. In preparation for entering into the higher mysteries, disciples must face tests and ordeals to prove their worthiness, enduring numerous difficulties and psychological temptations. When the disciple has proven his or her ability to withstand such tests with patience and fidelity to the divine, such a person transforms the lower qualities of egotism into the luminous characteristics and virtues of the awakened consciousness. Such a person, by law of cause and effect, witnesses their own entrance into the communities of the higher dimensions through transcendental experiences.

Initiation, therefore, is the realization of the soul in its unification with divinity, and has nothing to do with titles, acquisitions, or superficialities in the material world.

Numerous prophets and spiritual guides have mentioned or alluded to the difficult path that initiates the soul into the light. Yet for centuries, none have made this knowledge explicit to the public, since it was conserved in allegorical form within the diverse religious writings and unveiled solely through oral transmission to those who had proven their maturity. However, for the first time, the path of initiation is now made available to humanity in an effort to aid those who truly yearn for an internal spiritual revolution and who can take advantage of the techniques within this tradition to achieve spiritual success.

I’m really enamored with the dynamic of two characters who work perfectly in tandem, like pacific rim drift compatible level, but they don’t like each other. It’s not even as strong an emotion as hate it’s just a very neutral-negative dislike, but they still act in perfect concert and their individual abilities are fully complementary

seriously have been thinking about this all night long. call me autistic but the fact that 90% of workplaces the point is not to get your work done and then be done doing it but to instead perform an elaborate social dance in which you find something to do even when you're done doing everything you need to do in order to show your fellow workers that you, too, are Working . because you are at Work . disgusting why cant we all agree that if there is no work immediately to be done. we just dont do anything

#i personally like to not be doing things constantly at all times. it stresses me out #i know there are ppl who thrive on cosntant activity #but me i like to chill out. #and the problem then becomes that i only ACTIVELY remember to do work and Find More Work To Do when im stressed #at the thought that others might want to see me working #if im ever relaxed i just dont look for stuff to do #catch 22 of modern work culture which permeates even ostensibly noncapitalist structures like public libraries #for instance: will it really kill anybody if the books get shelved by me now after a very busy day? #or shelved tomorrow morning by. well probably me since i'll be the one at the desk #not in the slightest #but it was work that wasnt being immediately done by me. therefore it was incorrect behavior #that i failed to identify because my instinct is to relax when not immediately presented with a Situation #this got me labeled as 'having no initiative' by my dad from a very early age #and even as an adult i still feel like im a child with no initiative

if you post an image in discord itll round the corners, but once you hit a certain smallness it rounds into a circle. so basically if you make an image that is 32x32 and you post it in discord itll go from this

to this.

so you basically can just draw a little face in mspaint or something and paste it into discord and itll look like a little emoji. you can potentially mess around with this a lot, its proportional to your image going smaller and it doesnt have to be a square either.

#I THINK THIS HAS A LOT OF FUN POTENTIAL #discord #i am reblog locking this bc i lack the ability to properly issue corrections (see replies) #and also because getting notes like this causes me some distress #please feel free to issue a version of this post that is more accurate yourself (any reader) #but i will refrain #i still think its fun tho i initially noticed this at the 16 scale where it works regardless #just have fun and express yourself in a carefree manner

Totoro to the rescue!

no wait CATBUS to the rescue!

i admit i initially thought the cat was a creep. alice in wonderland prejudiced me. i have revised my notions of smiling cats

i've decided the cat is a metaphor for the magic of a robust public transport system

MEI'S OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

happy ending YES bitch!!!!!!

ok. ok ok ok. that was magical.

(as a first-time adult viewer i was worried i wouldn't be able to Access the Magic. but i could and i did and it was incredible. that was culture. that was ART. joy distilled into animated form. holy rites of childhood. i understand now. how glorious, this world we grow out of. how full of marvels. i'm going outside to smell grass and sun and get dirt under my fingernails. miraculous.)

#mr ghibli please you cannot do this to my heart #totoro #my neighbor totoro #spoilers #? #initially i misspelled Totoro as Tortoro throughout the entire post #i fixed it but dear heavens i was tempted to leave it in. you're WELCOME
