Reimagining Taxes: Aligning Our Contributions with Peaceful and Constructive Purposes

Image
In a world where defense spending often dominates government budgets, it’s easy to feel disheartened if you don’t support war or the "war machine." But what if we reimagined taxes as a tool for good—one that could be redirected to serve humanity in meaningful and peaceful ways? By focusing on alignment and taking action, we can start to bridge the gap between our values and the systems we live within. Point 2: Advocate for Peaceful Allocation of Taxes One of the most powerful steps we can take is to become active participants in shaping how our taxes are used. Taxes, after all, are collective contributions intended to improve society. While many feel their hard-earned money is funneled into causes they don’t support, there are ways to advocate for change: 1. Educate Yourself and Others: Dive into your local and national budgets. Understand where your taxes go and identify areas where funds could be reallocated toward peaceful and constructive purposes, such as ren...

Full Moon Visualization for Balancing the 4 Lower Chakras

Full Moon Visualization for Balancing the 4 Lower Chakras Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. Sit or lie down, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths to relax your body and calm your mind. --- Step 1: Root Chakra – Grounding Under the Full Moon Focus: Your base, the Root Chakra (base of the spine). Visualization: Picture yourself sitting on soft earth under the light of a glowing, radiant full moon. Feel the moon's silvery light cascading down onto your body. Visualize a deep red light glowing at the base of your spine. This light begins to grow stronger and warmer with each breath. Imagine roots extending from your body into the earth below, anchoring you deeply into Mother Earth. Affirmation: “I am grounded, safe, and supported. I trust the process of life.” --- Step 2: Sacral Chakra – Flowing with Lunar Energy Focus: Your lower abdomen, the Sacral Chakra. Visualization: As you feel securely grounded, shift your attention to your lo...

Time Is an Illusion… But My Toaster Still Breaks

  Title: Time Is an Illusion… But My Toaster Still Breaks Have you ever looked at the clock, realized it’s 11:11, and thought, “Wait, am I just living the same day over and over again, or is my higher self winking at me?” Because let’s be honest—time is weird. It’s one of those things we all agree exists, but no one can quite explain, like why socks vanish in the dryer or why cats knock things off tables just to watch. At its core, time is a handy construct humans slapped onto the Universe to make sense of stuff. Music theory wouldn’t work without it (unless you want endless free jazz improvisation), and we couldn’t multiply 60 by 24 and pretend we’re good at math. But then, somewhere along the way, someone—let’s call them “Time Tyrant”—said, “Hey, let’s use this whole time thing to age physical bodies, break down perfectly good stuff, and trick people into thinking they’re running out of life.” To which I say: what a jerk move. Infinite Beings in Disposable Shoes We are infinite. ...

Embracing the Trickster Within: How My Shadow Became My Greatest Ally

Image
Dancing with the Trickster: How My Shadow Became My Greatest Ally The Shadow We Were Taught to Fear We’ve been conditioned to see our shadow as something dark, destructive, or even evil—something to conquer, suppress, or avoid at all costs. For years, I subscribed to that belief, convinced my shadow was the villain in my story. But what if the shadow is actually a trickster—a mischievous guide, not here to harm us, but to reveal our hidden truths? What if its whispers are nudges toward freedom and growth rather than chaos and destruction? It turns out, my shadow wasn’t my enemy. It was my greatest ally in disguise, and I couldn’t reclaim my full power until I let it back in. Meeting the Trickster At first, my shadow felt like an adversary—questioning my choices, poking at insecurities, and pulling up stories I’d tried to bury. It was relentless, pushing me to confront what I didn’t want to see. It was uncomfortable . It was messy . But when I stopped resisting and started listening, I ...

God Doesn’t Punish, But We Sure Do

Title: God Doesn’t Punish, But We Sure Do For centuries, humans have projected their own fears, insecurities, and authoritarian structures onto the divine. The result? The idea that God, the ultimate source of love and creation, is some cosmic disciplinarian waiting to smite us for stepping out of line. But if you really think about it, does that narrative hold up? If God is love—pure, unconditional, infinite love—why would punishment even be on the table? Love doesn’t punish. Love creates, nurtures, and gives free will to explore, learn, and grow. It’s us, the creations, who seem to have mastered the art of punishing ourselves. Think of God as Your Best Friend Instead of imagining God as a judge or executioner, what if we saw them as our best friend? You know, that inner voice that always has your back. The one that encourages you to take risks, reminds you of your worth when you’re down, and sticks with you no matter how many times you mess up. Your best friend doesn’t punish you for...
