@Nirvanalight When we start to let go of our personal stories, (or they crumble apart anyway somehow), the ones that feel very sane, everyday and real, sometimes these other, religious, archetypal stories come in and take their place. It's like they latch on to the same belief mechanisms that are still turning somehow. We have to get very curious about them and about the beliefs holding them in place. -
@abrakamowse When you're no one, you can be anyone. I guess.

No, it was like I WAS his wife.

I think that we all need to get ahold of our attention spans and learn to meditate, breathe, keep an open mind and go offline for long enough periods of time to break addiction cycles. Then hopefully we can actually have a conversation instead of this react/react, clash/clash, assume/assume pattern so many of us are stuck in. I know that for myself, it's been really difficult to focus this past week. To me focus is giving my attention to what I want, not what I don't want. Constant checking of my Facebook feed and news sites make it almost impossible to maintain, maybe that's just where I'm at. We need to be able to have the capacity to stay open and not get triggered as if we are bored while not avoiding important, stimulating subjects. If we can't, I guess we need to just drop it. I'm starting to believe that meditation is essentially the answer to everything. If awareness precedes all knowing, awareness is the only real "knowing" there ever could be. You can't outsource your source. On the morning after the election, I had not expected Biden to win, but I had this waking dream where I was a woman thinking about what I'd need to pack to move into the white house.

Do eyes create, consume, or are they a creation? Do they create themselves? Do they create themselves? Do they create themselves? -

"Weird, but received" describes my entire experience on this forum so well. -
He looks exhausted. I'm surprised he made it through these past 4 years so well actually. Can he? Maybe that's why it's so bad. New York City is a pretty brutal place to be based when you've done what he has done. The Bushes knew how to play this game. You can retreat to Texas, not New York City.

Oh shit! I totally forgot about the wall. Whatever happened, he realized that viruses can get over walls?

But I don't wanna. I just wanna be 4 again like it's 1992.

Oooooohhhh. Now I just want to cry. Democracy worked so well when we were stage blue.

Also the next time you are like "I need to leave this relationship" why don't you figure out what's really going on? You will probably discover that you feel unfulfilled and that leaving the relationship will not erase this lack of fulfillment.

Leo will reincarnate into a fearsome majestic Bald Eagle and become a miraculous sign that brings the nation together. You said this would be on Disney Plus.

Eh, whatever, the 'Merica they like to plaster on flags and T shirts and be all about is an actual spirit stronger than they know. It was a spirit ingrained in this land before the Natives even crossed the land bridge or whatever. Let the toddlers throw their tantrums and punch us in the face, we'll pick em' up, hug them and keep on loving them anyway.

Even the rural area thing is changing. More stage green people are leaving cities for a slower paced, more naturally connected life, kind of like happened in the 60's. I've seen that trend here and it's happening faster and faster. We had a real estate boom like we've never seen before over the summer with coronavirus pushing people to leave cities. Lots of younger people I grew up with who left have returned home for good.

In my state masks are ordered, but I live in a red pocket of a blue state, so rather than being enforced here, it's being used as a political statement to not wear a mask. It's insane.

In my experience, it's good to try natural fibers but organic fabrics that I have tried seemed to shrink really fast and not be worth the investment. I think it's a really good idea to wash things a couple few times before wearing it the first time though.

In my town, the woman who is in charge of running the voting and town political issues is an anti-masker. The voting day turned into a sort of rally for conservatives to come in in person to vote. The coronavirus really polarized people itself, because Trump has been highly criticized for not taking it seriously.

He will have exactly 270 if he wins Nevada, Michigan and Wisconsin.

I am thankful for the intense confusion and questioning that Ramajii and his book has caused me over the past year plus since I read it. I'm not sure that was the intended effect but, it helped me find clarity of a new kind. -

Carnivore? Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whew! How come the deeper you go with this stuff the more creepy zombie like territory you enter? Fun. -
Maybe everyone realizes this and I'm Captain Obvious here but if you're not in the US, in general, more Democrats are afraid of coronavirus, so they mailed their ballots. More Republicans went to vote in person like normal. So the straggler votes are more likely to be blue. That's what is making for a bizarre dynamic about this election.
