This is the social media equivalent of stopping withdrawals during a bank run.

The acid test for any two competing socioeconomic systems is which side needs to build a wall to keep people from escaping? That’s the bad one!

@SeishinWrites By far the best source for me has been this OSINT discord: discord.gg/projectowl It's a firehose, but a well-moderated one.

@SeishinWrites Word of caution: I've been told (and from my own experience suspect it's true) that you can really screw yourself over by combining practices from different systems that might move energy in different ways. It may be wise to stick to practices from your tradition for now. [3/3]

@SeishinWrites Other names include "odic force", "magnetism" (which comes from Mesmerism), "orgone" (from Wilhelm Reich), nwyfre (in modern Druidry). The most complete system I know of personally is in Franz Bardon's work ("Initiation into Hermetics"). [2/3]

@meditationstuff Somewhat orthogonal to your point, but: I think if you _always_ do anything, that's already a mistake. In the muscle tension example, I might try either of those, or ignore it, or see if I can feel it on an emotional level, or do an energy visualization, or...

Just talking to my Chinese ex: two foreign sailors on shore leave in Qingdao just tested positive for covid. So now in the middle of the night everyone in Qingdao has to get up and go tested. Right now, not in the morning. Because of two cases.

@sonyasupposedly Like, how would one know what sin is, if one wanted to try to avoid it?

@marshallk It would take a _lot_ of climate change to be an existential threat. Maybe if some of the scarier positive feedback loop possibilities happened? Though surely even then some people would survive in, like, Antarctica.

@meditationstuff @Aella_Girl I also think it's good to avoid double negatives in a poll, fwiw.

@nosilverv I don't know that his sc picks are much different from what a replacement-level republican would do, though?

@m_ashcroft @nosilverv I've had glimpses of how to get past it. Those glimpses involved acting """from""" the higher self/crown chakra/"""god""".

@diviacaroline For what it's worth, it was already only like 85% before he tested positive. I've never been quite sure what that was tracking, but maybe it's not just covid risk?

@liminal_warmth In the past, I've found Dropbox much more seamless than Google Drive, but I don't know if the latter has gotten better recently.

@grizwald87 @liminal_warmth Wouter Hanegraaff argues that the key distinction at the time the name "chemistry" arose was that alchemists thought they were rediscovering the wisdom of the ancients, and cared about things like analysis of ancient texts, while chemists didn't care about that.

@limitoftruth @grizwald87 @liminal_warmth This is Jung's interpretation, and it's true about a lot of post-1800 alchemical books, but it doesn't hold water for early alchemy. Historians are starting to be able to recreate some of the chemical experiments alchemical texts describe.

@EpistemicHope @Morphenius This feels like overanalysis to me. An orthodoxy attacking a heretic is one of the basic moves of human society. It doesn't need a particularized explanation.
