  1. This is very helpful. I understand this "First off, when I say Masculine... I don't mean things primarily pertaining to gender. Masculine and Feminine are two polar energies that exist in all living and non-living systems. It's more like Yin and Yang than Woman-like-ness and Man-like-ness. And the issue with being unaware of which energies and archetypes are at play in a given dynamic is that we can have a bias against one of the energies/archetypes without realizing we have a bias. the Masculine and Feminine exist in all living and non-living systems. Anyone can have positive Masculine or Feminine qualities." I think what confuses me is when we start bringing up Real Life women or men, in these discussions. And we say "These men are in their Toxic Masculine. We need men to be in their Healthy Masculine." Or when a woman says "I was not in my Feminine" When I hear this, my mind automatically goes into "Men must be X and Women must be Y", which causes resistance in me. But I understand that is not what is being said. Then, it also gets confusing when: Women who have a "Feminine performance" but who are in their Toxic Masculine. and Men who have a "Masculine performance" but who are in their Toxic Feminine. Some people put on a performance of femininity and masculinity, but their actual energies are something else. And this is very confusing. And then sometimes, with certain behaviors, I wish we could just say layman terms like "This person is a bully" or "They are unkind" instead of giving it more flowery language like "They are in their toxic masculine". But I get it. You are creating a map of the psyche. It is going to sound metaphorical. I need to stay more open minded and patient. There is still a lot for me to learn and explore about this topic. I just need to stop rolling my eyes around the topic and calling it "Woo", and begin to do the work. haha
  2. I think we need to be careful with these New Age/Jungian classifications of the "Masculine". You have classified being: - foolish - dishonest - heartless - repulsive - froth people into a rage and direct that rage towards more vulnerable groups of people - tyranny - picking on the weaker - making career power moves at the expense of other and society at large - wanting to be more successful than others - competitive As "Shadow Masculine" traits But if there is one thing, that I think Christianity does well, is that it doesn't classify "Sin", for a lack of a better word, into Masculine and Feminine. The qualities you listed are not Masculine..... they are just "Sin" or Vices. Vices that both genders fall into. Some of these rigid classifications of the Masculine and Feminine in the New Age/Jungian world, are binding and lock people in an unnecessary box. And it can also make you very unprepared when you meet Right Wing women, who can be very Feminine, wear makeup and dresses, are stay at home moms, don't hold typical Stage Orange careers, etc. ............ but who still harbor the same exact attributes as tyranny, picking on the weaker, wanting to be more successful than others, competitive, heartless, dishonest , rage toward vulnerable people, etc ..... as the Right Wing men. You listed traits of people who value "maintaining hierarchy" above all else. And Right Wing Women, even if they are unemployed and are Stay at Home Moms, really care about "maintaining hierarchy". These are not Masculine traits. These are traits of a person with questionable moral character.
  3. I agree with this. Social conservatives are also a God amongst themselves. They are their own God. Their agenda just uses the terms "Christian" or "Bible" as a mask to get into the room. This is why even Atheists are puzzled right now at what is happening. As many Atheists read and study the Bible thoroughly for debates....they realize "Wait, this is even beyond the Bible. This is a different agenda altogether." The Bible itself does not support this rigid Patriarchal White Supremacy type of society. "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." - Galatians 3:28 "Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow." - Isaiah 1:17 I have a couple of books on my wishlist written by Christians authors, themselves, who are pushing against the social conservative agenda: Christian Books against Patriarchy: The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel -Beth Allison Barr How God Sees Women: The End of Patriarchy - by Terran Williams The Bible vs. Biblical Womanhood: How God's Word Consistently Affirms Gender Equality - Philip Barton Payne Jesus Feminist: An Invitation to Revisit the Bible's View of Women - Sarah Bessey Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood: How the Church Needs to Rediscover Her Purpose - Aimee Byrd Christian Books against White Supremacy/Christian Nationalism: The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism - Tim Alberta The False White Gospel: Rejecting Christian Nationalism, Reclaiming True Faith - Jim Wallis White Evangelical Racism: The Politics of Morality in America - Anthea D. Butler America's Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America - Jim Wallis When God Became White: Dismantling Whiteness for a More Just Christianity - Grace Ji-Sun Kim The Religion of Whiteness: How Racism Distorts Christian Faith - Michael O. Emerson
  4. The problem with Christian politicians is that they often go against the teachings of the Bible. They ignore a lot of what Jesus says, and do the complete opposite. This makes them very unpredictable. If they are already ignoring what Jesus says, then exactly, what would this "Christian democracy" be based on? The Bible warns about a group of people called the Pharisees. Basically, a group of people who used God's name and even have the Bible memorized, but were dead inside like a rotting corpse. The issue with Christian politicians and Christian nationalists are that they often resemble the Pharisees............ which the Bible warns about. “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. - Matthew 23:23 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are. - Matthew 23:15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. - Matthew 23:25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. - Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. - Matthew 23:27
  5. I agree with this. I always step back a bit when I hear this "return to your humanity, be in the human experience, return to your vulnerable humanity" in Enlightenment/Transcendence spaces. Especially after I just had a full week of work in the office, socializing with friends and family, watching Netflix, going to Therapy, reading fiction books, going for walks in the busy city, etc. It's like return to being a human??? haha I am so confused right now. So yeah, unless a person is spiritual bypassing, trying to replace Enlightenment with Therapy/trauma work/shadow work or is like a monk that lives in a Cave avoiding society.....then a lot of the "be in the human experience" rhetoric seems like an imaginary problem.
  6. Well, Social justice activism and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are part of the backbone of the United States. The effects of these, are everywhere, even if you don't notice them. Without these, the United States won't be the United States anymore. Social justice activism = If a certain group of people are being treated like crap, we need to do something about it. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) = People from all backgrounds, ways of believing/thinking, different desires, different goals, different dreams and walks of life ..... all belong in the United States Even companies that don't have an official DEI program, are often still very diverse. Just because a conservative employer doesn't shove DEI programs down your face, doesn't mean they are prejudiced. And a conservative employer may still be hiring people of all different backgrounds if they are qualified for the job. The issue with the "woke agenda" is everything else you added on the list. Woke People are preachy and expect immediate obedience. And if you don't immediately comply with them, they call you a "bigot, racist, sexist, homophobic, ageist, ableist, etc." It's like a "Obey me now!! Otherwise you are a bigot, racist, sexist, homophobic, ageist, ableist, etc." They also don't leave room for people to have 1 foot in something more conservative, and 1 foot in liberalism. For example, even if someone is Liberal in everything besides for Abortion, they push them out. Or even if someone is Liberal in everything besides for Gender Pronouns, they push them out. They don't allow any middle ground. Any disagreement at all, and you are kicked out. This is a very ineffective strategy long term. It is prevalent in major cities in "Hipster" areas. haha If you google "most hipster cities in the U.S.", that's where you will find these people. Woke and Hipster are not the same thing. But you will find many woke people, amongst hipsters.
  7. I really like the work that Sam Harris and Alex O'Connor have been doing in the Political sphere's lately.
  8. I think Stage Green is losing influence. Partially because many of the leaders of Stage Green, are shifting to Stage Blue. Since the pandemic, a lot of people who were Stage Green, are moving more towards conservatism and right wing teachings. I think the whole "get a vaccine or you can't enter this building" and "get a vaccine or we will fire you" terrified a lot of the Stage Green people. Hippies and New Agers don't like vaccines. So, they are now following Stage Blue people, thinking they are "rebelling against the system". But by following Stage Blue people, they are going to become even more obedient to the system. Stage Blue leaders have no interest in your freedom. They are just pretending like they care about freedom. And many Stage Green people are falling into the trap.
  9. You can eventually get to a place where you master the self concepts, imagination and mental stories, so thoroughly, that you can generate your own oxytocin and dopamine at will. Once you can generate your own "Happy Dream", without the external world helping you, the game is almost over. Eventually, you will see the structure of the ego so thoroughly, that the whole thing starts to collapse before your eyes. And sure, you can keep rebuilding it. Like you said, you can't get rid of the ego and "the only way to destroy ego is to die". That's true. It will keep rebuilding itself, whether you like it or not. But it eventually gets to a place, where it keeps collapsing over and over and over again before your eyes. And you see the blocks that it is made of. This makes the whole game of ego very boring to play. Even when you can generate oxytocin/dopamine whenever you want, it can get boing. Even the pleasurable states of the ego can get boring, once you see it very clearly. Ego is a mechanism that wants to survive. I am not sure if you want to call that selfish or something else. When you say "Ego is just you, as human, this what you built your entire life, nothing more.": Ego is not that solid. It's not like a solid object. But it "appears" like a solid object. But eventually you can see what the bricks are made of, that are building the house.
  10. This is all true. But then eventually "Design your desired ego and create your desired reality." gets very very boring. Especially, when you are successful in creating your desired reality and get everything you wanted. If it hasn't gotten boring yet or if you are still struggling to create your dream reality, then keep at it. A lot of people are at the "I already created my dream reality, now what?".
  11. Well, this is sometimes where the "there is no evil" , "there is no bad", "nothing is wrong" , "everything is holy', "all is good", "Everything is God" train of thought will lead you. It can lead to stuff like this. haha
  12. I think this is what is happening. People often find Transcendence as more "fun", and so they will ramble about it for hours. Integration is very important, but not always as "fun" to talk about for hours. So what is missing in the spiritual space, is the people who DO find Integration as fun and are passionate about it, should start rambling about it for hours. haha People who are frustrated at others for teaching too much about Enlightenment/Transcendence, probably just have a calling or gift to be teachers of Integration. Sometimes our gifts and calling for something, will make us frustrated with others, who are not pursuing it. I see this a lot in the Fiction Book spaces. Where for example, a Black or Asian person is frustrated that White authors are not writing about the Black/Asian experience. But some of that frustration is that we need more Black and Asian authors. And some of that frustration is because they are called to become Authors themselves.
  13. The Manifesting/Law of Assumption/Neville Goddard version of "You are God" is different from the Non-Duality version of "You are God". Manifesting definitely works but it has a lot of flaws and can make you think that "getting what you want" is the end of spiritual growth. "Manifesting what you want" is not the end of the road. It is a fun metaphysical place to play around in, and it is good to explore it and be familiar with it, but it's not the end. I haven't watched this video in a while, but I think Leo made a video about this:
  14. The love that we have for our family, in general, is often filled with corruption. Because they are an extension of our ego. And we often sacrifice the OTHER, to protect our ego. We are often loving and corrupt at the same time, when it comes to our family. haha Anything we place next to MY ______________ becomes attached to our ego. My friends My family My car My body My kids My spouse My house And whatever people/things we view as OTHER......... we are willing to hurt, devalue, exploit......in order to protect whatever we place after MY_________________ And we often view ourselves as a good person while doing so. Jealousy and Envy is wanting something that isn't yours. Not necessarily Greed. You can be greedy towards things that belong to you. For example, eating the entire box of cookies in your cabinet. They are your cookies, but you are still being greedy. Greed, Envy and Jealousy may all lead to theft and stealing. This all gets very confusing.......... because Stealing, Envy, Jealousy, and Greed are all based on an assumption of Human Ownership. When we use the words "Stealing, Envy, Jealousy, and Greed", there is a built in assumption that Human Ownership is a real thing. But we first have to start with "What is ownership?" Can a human being even own anything? And "who deserves to have what?" or "how should resources be distributed amongst people?" Human Ownership is a rabbit hole, in and of itself. But regardless of if/how Human Ownership exists or not, Greed can be very harmful. For example, regardless of if you own the 3 boxes of Pizza on the table, if you consume the 3 boxes of Pizza in one sitting, it will harm your body. I agree.
  15. I am glad that this resonated! You are right. Using a phrase like the "stop spiritual bypassing community" is not helpful. And maybe I should stop framing it that way. Because this community does not actually exist. It's not a real identity/group. It's a pattern of thought that I was trying to capture. I agree with this. But I also think that, there needs to be a division between: Group#1 - "People who are interested in spirituality/philosophy/enlightenment to heal trauma, suffering, emotional dysregulation, depression etc." and Group#2 - "People who are interested in spirituality/philosophy/enlightenment for the mere joy of exploring the human mind" Trying to mesh both groups together is confusing, as they have different missions. When I hear things like "To lean into humanity is powerful and ultimately as a human being is what we are here to do": You are addressing Group#1 and not Group#2. For Group#2, "Leaning into their humanity" is to play around with philosophy/transcendence/enlightenment/non-human states of consciousness. Because philosophy is their hobby. It's what they do for fun. It's their passion. And for some, it's their life purpose and part of their calling to play around with philosophy. And so, if philosophy is your passion and life calling, then doing philosophy is " embracing your humanness". I agree. Even creating a list of external books or an external referral list could help sometimes, if the teacher doesn't have the capacity themselves.
  16. My question, to the "stop spiritual bypassing" community is, how can you even avoid the human experience? Is that even possible? Isn't the default state, for most people in the modern world, the human experience? Isn't it the default state to get pulled into hedonism, watching TV, playing video games, socializing, getting lost in your suffering, getting lost in thoughts, getting lost in stories, getting lost in romantic fantasies, human life, family, work, doom scrolling on social media, etc.? Isn't the entire society/world pushing us into the human experience, anyways? Isn't that why monks needed to leave society, to begin with? Because staying in society meant that the human experience would punch you in the face all the time? Usually by your own friends and family pushing you into the maya/duality? This is why I don't fully understand the "stop spiritual bypassing" community sometimes. I mean, I get what they are saying, everything needs to be integrated. Yes. Ego integration is important. We need to accept the bad/the ugly/our suffering/what is unwanted/what is rejected. Absolutely. The high-vibe-only stuff is a big problem in spirituality. The things we usually reject need to be pulled in too. But it's not like most people are getting THAT far removed from their ego/human experience/suffering/relationships................to begin with. Most people are not THAT successful at transcending the ego, anyways. Most people are not THAT successful at avoiding society by being lost in states of nirvana/the void/samadhi/satori, anyways Most people are not THAT successful at avoiding socializing with friends, family and coworkers. "Realizing enlightenment or god" is not a common endeavor. This is a small tiny niche. Very few people are actually focusing on this. Most people offline are focused on their "current and past beliefs, feelings, thoughts, actions, pain, love, relationships", etc. Enlightenment/God realization is not popular. I don't get the recent recruitment of people back into the "human experience" or "vulnerable humanity" as if this is not already the default state for most people in modern society. Most people are not blissed out zombies walking around in states of satori/samadhi, avoiding the problems of the world. Most people are engrossed in their humanity, suffering, relationships and their problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Though, I do need to add that there are issues when the Non Duality communities says things like "Rape didn't happen. Everything is God. Everything is love" And there is also a major issue with Law of Attraction communities saying "Rape was because of your negative thoughts" They refuse to get down to a human level and deal with trauma properly. This all needs to be addressed. So, it is very multilayered. Some people do become Non-Duality zombies, satori/samadhi/nirvana zombies, Law of Attraction zombies, etc. and they all need to snap out of it. I am not sure if the problem is focusing on transcendence/enlightenment....or the misuse of the teachings. The other concern is "What if some teachers are meant to teach transcendence/enlightenment? And some other teachers are meant to teach Ego Integration?" What if some teachers are best at deconstruction, cutting through illusion and ego transcendence? And some teachers are better at ego integration, human vulnerability and relationships? Maybe both teachers are needed. Maybe we just need different classrooms, instead of just having 1 subject. Maybe part of this is allowing spiritual teachers to have different areas of expertise. Because otherwise, it's like going up to a Math teacher and asking them "Why aren't you also teaching History? Don't you realize how important History is?"
  17. No. I think the biggest threat is women's rights. That's why so many women are freaking out right now. There is an increase in Childfree Women, Abortion, Gender Wars, Divorce, Financially Independent Women etc....which is decreasing birth rates. And decreasing birth rates, makes the wealthy elites lose power over the working class. The wealthy elites are mostly angry with White Women, right now. As, the white population is dropping drastically. The wealthy elites really want more White babies, but in the end......they just need more babies in general. And so, even Asian, Black and Hispanic women will be in trouble, if the birth rates keep dropping. I see a "Single people without Kids" tax/fine............way before I see a "Black/Brown people" tax/fine. Russia recently started to fine "child-free propaganda" in the amount 400,000 roubles ($4,100). Basically, people without children, who speak positively about their decision in public. Racial Segregation in the South and rural areas of the country Think about racial segregation in the age of Tiktok, Instagram and Zoom. Are they going to hack into Zoom calls and make sure everyone is the same race? And this would also cause a lot of companies to lose out on money. If Disney World, Orlando Studios, vacation resorts, Nashville, etc. and all major companies in the South, decided not to allow minorities in, they will lose millions of dollars in revenue. There will be major pushback, because of loss of revenue. Black and brown people being subjected to cruel and unusual punishments such as lynching, extreme violence, arrests without cause, extreme fines, etc. especially in the South and rural areas of the country It depends on if Black people decide to follow Martin Luther King (way of peace) or Malcolm X (way of justice). And I think many African American men, especially, will follow Malcolm X instead. This will be declaring a Civil War, again. “Sometimes you have to pick the gun up to put the Gun down.” - ― Malcolm X “Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.” - Malcolm X “I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligence.” - Malcolm X Signs: "Whites Only" and "Colored" signs used to enforce the racial order. especially in the South and rural areas of the country Gen Z and Millennials do too much therapy for this to be effective. No one will care about the signs and will ignore them, just like they did with the Social Distancing COVID19 signs. haha There is going to be graffiti all over the signs and Meme's posted online about them. It's such a different world. Forbidding interracial marriage, especially in the South and rural areas of the country. Trump chose JD Vance to be his Vice President. JD Vance's wife is a brown Indian. Wouldn't JD Vance need to get divorced? How about slavery? Could that return as well? The world is too technologically advanced for slavery. (in the old way it used to be) Our biggest concern lately is running out of work. The biggest threat we are dealing with is "Will robots take over our jobs?" and "Is AI going to take our jobs?" Americans don't even want illegal immigrants to take our unsatisfying jobs. And are claiming "The illegal immigrants are stealing jobs from hard working Americans".
  18. I wish in the future, we can just call this, "Yin energy" haha
  19. It's because you are using the forum to "get" something. You are treating it like food. You are trying to consume something. At a certain point, you can't use the forum as a source of intellectual food anymore. The more awakened you get, the less places will be a source of intellectual/emotional food. You will just start BEING wherever you go. For example, when I am socializing with my friends, I rarely feel fed from our conversations anymore. I used to, but not as much anymore. But I still am curious about them and socialize with them, even though I don't feel more "spiritual evolved" through interacting with them. Sometimes I am more focused on what I can give to them. But sometimes, it is just playful banter and a non serious conversation. But I rarely "get" anything from my friends anymore. It is something similar with the forum and everything else in life. The more awakened you become, the less places will feed you in the same way. You might end up being in a place of "giving" knowledge to others, instead of "getting". And sharing what you know with others, instead. Sometimes, you won't feel like even giving/sharing, and instead, you will just BE. Though, if you don't feel very peaceful with where you are at, and are starving to death for more knowledge, then maybe as others mentioned, it might be time to seek out other teachers or books or resources in other places. Or focus more on Leo's videos instead.
  20. I agree. We need to be looking at people on an individual basis. For example, if you watch True Crime, you will see many videos of Women who kill their own children, spouses, friends, parents etc. Maybe the "All women are nurturing" statement shouldn't be applied towards them. And some women will perform the stereotype and pretend to be nurturing but you can see the fakeness in their smiles and the fakeness as they try to comfort others. There is no warmth under the nurturing actions. Underneath the act is an ego playing the role it thinks it needs to play to be accepted and loved. A lot of gender roles and stereotypes become very performative. We often perform gender roles and imitate gender stereotypes in order to be safe, loved, chosen, wanted, desired and protected. Sometimes we force ourselves into the "ideal woman" and "ideal man" boxes, even when our entire spirit is rejecting the box, because our ego can't handle not being seen as ideal. And the more the government/politicians get involved in enforcing gender roles, the more pretending and faking of gender roles/stereotypes people will have to do in order to survive. Which only pushes people's authenticity of who they truly are deeper down into the shadow.
  21. You can read 2 books at the same time, if they are both calling to you. It is helpful to set small goals, like: "I am going to read 10 pages of Book 1 every day" "I am going to read 20 pages of Book 2 every day"
  22. I agree with Princess Arabia about the link. @Ishanga Do you want to edit your post and delete the link? I think people will get the gist of the topic without it. I found out about Krystal Aranyani because she used to date Vishuddha Das (Koi Fresco) too. And then I was following her on instagram with her New Age-y Sisterhood Goddess content. It was very alarming to a lot of her female followers when she made the switch. I am not sure about this path she is taking and if it can be integrated with spirituality, like she is claiming. But with a push for "ego integration", people are going to try to mix a lot of different stuff with spirituality.
  23. I agree with you that if we raise human consciousness to higher levels, then people won't be gravitated to porn anymore. But Krystal seems to be thinking about this in a completely different angle. She seems to be treating this as more than "just a need to be being fulfilled". And she is taking her involvement in the sex industry very seriously. It's not a joke to her. Maybe this is her life purpose? I don't know. haha Here are some quotes from Krystal that highlight this: - "I really started feeling that it's part of my mission to shine a light on the sex industry and given my position in the spiritual community that I'm the person to do this." - Krystal Aranyani "I think that it's better for us to come into these industries and into these spaces and share our magic and share what we've learned that has really helped us along our path in these spaces rather than separating ourselves from them. We can really bring in spirituality into everything and I think that's important with where we're going at this time on our planet rather than just staying in ashrams, which I did for many years and learning all of these incredible tools it's like okay now how can I go out into the world" - Krystal Aranyani - "You know there's a dark side to it and I just think that it can be evolved into something a lot more beautiful and I am passionate about that because I do see pornography as a beautiful art as I shared. " - Krystal Aranyani - "We're infiltrating the porn industry. We're Trojan horsing it, we're calling it Trojan unicorning it. So we're really bringing it in like when people aren't aware of it, and we're bringing the sacredness, the sacred sensuality, and we're awakening it from the core, from the inside out." - Krystal Aranyani - "I teach traditional tantra which is not sexualized tantra, but the tantric perspective in my opinion around this is all sex, all that we do is tantric. Tantra is really rejecting nothing in this existence and seeing it all as divine. There's many layers to that statement but regarding pornography and the adult industry, it doesn't matter if you see me having animalistic, wild sex, it doesn't matter if you see me having connected eye gazing with a partner. to me it is divine each partner I have is divine and it's all a practice of seeing the divine seeing God within each other " - Krystal Aranyani - "A part of my purpose is to share and shine a light on the sex industry because the thing with the sex industry is it's always going to exist" - Krystal Aranyani - "Other than that, sharing the negative detrimental effects that porn has, there's not any solutions. So what I'm doing and with others that I'm teaming up with is to provide solutions because it's not going anywhere. And I believe that this global awakening of consciousness, which is what we are absolutely experiencing at a heightened pace the past few years since the pandemic, especially brought stirred, stuff was stirring and it all brought that more to surface, woke a lot of people up. And with this awakening, learning how to release shame around our sexuality and our sexual energy is I believe one of the absolute most important parts of this and it's an industry that is ignored and shunned and hidden and we're not talking about this enough so that is why I am talking about it." - Krystal Aranyani - " I will be heavily judged, heavily shamed. I've missed opportunities now when people find out that I'm in the industry. My family is being put down, attacked as well. And why is this? Why do you think that this is? because sex is the most powerful energy in existence, and yet we fear it, we shame it, we suppress it until it explodes in dangerous and even violent ways. We pretend that this energy doesn't even exist. We pretend that the human body and the feminine body does not exist. We drink from our mother's nipples, sacred nipples, that give us life, And then at a certain age we're told those nipples don't exist. We're not allowed to post about them We're not allowed to talk about them. We're not allowed to look at them They no longer exist only in these shameful places like pornography. This is all so outdated and in this process you forget where you came from and in this process of Suppressing and hiding our bodies and our sexuality You forget where you came from, you forget about the mother, the sacredness of our mother, of the feminine. You disconnect and hide from the most sacred parts of yourself. You shame your desires and keep them hiding deep within, which creates disease, disease. You end up judging and separating yourself from others if they don't do the same. You forget who you are and you forget your own power, your power to create lives within and outside of you. And I don't just mean for women. We have the seed of life within us when we heal our trauma, judgment, pain and fears around ourselves, around our bodies, around especially the feminine body, the mother, the body of the mother that brought us into existence. When we release the shame, the trauma, the judgments around us, the suppression, the fear is when the world will transform and I deeply believe that. And the sex industry is a part of this transformation. It is a major player in this transformation. " - Krystal Aranyani
  24. I didn't click the link on the main post so I don't know what she is currently doing now. haha I get the gist from her Instagram feed. She explains what happened to her, to shift her mind so drastically, in this video from Time Stamp at 4:40 to 15:50 Video Here From the video, it sounds like if her boyfriend/baby never died, she would have been a wife and mother in Canada right now. So she was dealing with 2 deaths.
