The hills are alive

“God is dead” is a quote from Nietzsche. I’d think about it this way: He wrote it for a creative writing project, and as context for that creative writing project, he was grappling with sadness and anger at that time. I believe that Nietzsche would say that God was important to him during key points of his life. He was afraid that humans would get evil.

It has never been appropriate for people to misinterpret and/or manipulate a philosopher’s words and concepts, especially in that philosopher’s absence. This has happened a lot with Nietzsche, to disturbing effect.

The concept of nihilism is not exactly a philosophy, but an ongoing conversation with despair. Despair actually became stylish in the 1990s, mellowed to a poignant patina of irony by the 2010s, and has been allowed to mutate horribly in the 2020s.

The shadow

The psychic shadow is the part of a person that doesn’t grow the normal way. It grows alongside us to show us, through our fantasies or play or (to a certain extent) clues found within our personal crises, what not to do.

The shadow is not a cohesive concept along the lines of a thought form. It is the movement of certain themes through our lives, and some of our more primitive personal reactions to them.

Shadow work describes an ethical spiritual activity through which we can sublimate our shadow by expressing its themes in harmless ways. Shadow work does not involve passive aggression nor violence nor other people directly, ever. It is not magic of any kind. It is done alone, and with intent to learn and grow.

Psychic surge

Many people and animals are much more psychic than they were in early 2019. You may have noticed this in yourself, in a pet, or in some other way. It’s a sign of the times, you might say.

Some of these psychic experiences are in fact sublime in some way, while others could be best described as psychic intrusions, which are a potentially dangerous nuisance.

Psychic experiences do not necessarily correspond with spiritual development. They do not even necessarily mean that someone has developed wisdom, and do not in and of themselves qualify someone to be a psychic medium, spiritual advisor, etc. Some psychic experiences (particularly since 2020) have been deceptive illusions, sometimes very malicious in nature. Spiritual development can result in powers, yes, but some psychic flashes, spiritual experiences, and paranormal-related distress and conflict are not linked to any spiritual powers (which in some religious traditions are sometimes referred to as spiritual gifts, charisms, siddhis, etc., and are reserved for individuals who have communed spiritually, attained virtue, and overcome ego to certain specific extents). These more secular psychic experiences, which are proliferating now, are rather the result of a person’s sensitivities picking up on something that is not totally mundane, sometimes including extraordinary expressions of negativity. It is even possible to have a psychic experience of witnessing divine intellect or to experience a dream that carries a message without it indicating any particular degree of spiritual development. Sometimes the supernatural world has something to tell a person, but is not necessarily endorsing them.

It is important that these experiences not just be confusing. Try to find the illuminated truth within the matter, if possible. It is important to never abuse others psychically nor otherwise. It is important to keep an idea of right and wrong even if you are experiencing something paranormal. Some psychic experiences are just illusions, and if something tells you to do something wrong, it is best to assume it is an illusion. It is crucially important to use one’s best judgment these days, and to resist doing wrong and/or embracing wrong.

Be good. Do right. Every time is the right time to do the right thing.

Love and Mustangs

Wild mustangs told me once about how their family groups work. It was 2018, I think, and I was studying them a bit. Wild mustang societies are very competitive for mates, even for horses. To a human, it can look like a full-contact game where mares and foals are shifted around, joining new single-stallion-led bands after bouts between stallions. It is of the wild.

Mustangs told me that stallions use intuition to determine which mares they want in their bands. Stallions will get a jolt of knowing about a mare.

They operate on the Aries/Libra axis, I (being a shaman trained in astrology) was shown. According to Alice Bailey, in esoteric astrology, Aries is known as the place where the will of God is known, which ignites highest intuition. That’s more like a mustang stallion. Libra has more to do with the survival skills and group-savvy that mustang mares show in the wild. Aries and Libra are directly across each other on the zodiac wheel, and rule the 1st House and 7th House, respectively. Exoteric rulers: Mars (Aries) and Venus (Libra). Esoteric rulers: Mercury (Aries) and Uranus (Libra).

Fun (likely?) facts from Earth Logos

  1. Humans only invented the concept of money once. It happened in Africa.
  2. The worldwide bovine spiritual leader of cows (cattle) is referred to as Least Dangerous Cow. The bovine world leader of cows is referred to as Most Dangerous Cow.
  3. More on cows (edit: December 2024): Cows want to tell their tale. On an individual level, this might mean asking them “Did you have a good time?” or “Did you have a good night?”. On a collective level, cows’ original collective tale dates back to them coming up with the very new and interesting thought, touch me not, seemingly addressed to predators and specifically in reference at the time to bears. And they say it also had to do with having hooves. Modern cows have very recently changed their story to: touch me not if you are bad, but be bold if you are good. They still have hooves, of course.
  4. In the 18th Century (1700s), most early Americans (United States of America) spoke with what sounded like Scottish accents. This had to do with morphic fields as well as where people emigrated from and how they identified.
  5. Demons should be vanquished now (note: remind them that they’re vanquished, if you run into one, and see if that helps). There were demons once, of various origins. Goetic demons had some of the most recognized demonic names, like Asmodeus and Belial. In what you might call “fae culture”, demons often chose exotic-sounding (to them) English language names for themselves like Actress and Gross boy.
  6. Certain animals have created agreements with humanity to exchange meat for respectful maintenance of their thus-abbreviated lives and full numbers. They’ve noticed that they tend to like their lives that way if the agreement is honored correctly.
  7. According to Earth Logos, EFL (English as a first language) speakers are significantly less likely to become hyper fluent in another language. ESL (English as a second language) speakers starting at many certain various languages are extremely likely to become hyper fluent in English.
  8. The Moon in the birth chart has a lot to do with physical beauty. The Moon is one of the most beautiful things you can possibly see in the sky.
  9. Civilization has never fallen entirely. That’s not exactly how it happens (so far).

Crush/Carry/Chill

Concept: No one is having a good time playing F*ck/Marry/Kill anymore. It feels hostile. It feels specific. Violence has been on the rise, let’s be real. Maybe the options are too intense; it’s a lot to expect of someone, even though it’s supposedly just for fun. You can’t marry one out of three people, and I don’t even want to discuss the other ones that way. In cases of certain social sets I have heard rumors of people taking the game all too seriously, challenging its hypothetical nature, or introducing peer pressure into it.

So that sounds scary.

I’ve never played this… what is this, a drinking game? Sober enough game of hypotheticals? Anyway, I suggest Crush/Carry/Chill instead. It is basically the same game, with sane substitutions for each option.

So it’s choose one (crush or carry or chill) per person suggested, if you have agreed to play Crush/Carry/Chill. The game master will often give you the names of three people per round, and you can sort them from there. It’s always acceptable to tell a person trying to impose the game on you to chill, of course, and to refuse to play certain rounds or refuse to play in general. You’ll always figure out what you’re gonna do with alcohol, probably (ages 21+ in my country, of course); I’m just assuming you know if you want this to be a drinking game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Crush: Sure, you do or could have a crush (romantic crush, friend crush, etc.) on this person; pleasant tension exists, maybe, whatever, good…
Carry: You will or would carry this person in your heart and life. Positive and symbiotic energy and rapport between you, and/or a very good feeling about them. More commitment. You would be down for keeping them in your life and supporting them through things somewhat; you’re more like true blue and holding it down for them (now or would if it ever got there) as opposed to not.
Chill: You’re peaceful and chill with this person, and you could maybe hang out with them and feel safe; OR this means that they really have to chill on you (as in leave you alone).

In brief:
Crush = a crush
Carry = you’d carry them with you
Chill = you could chill with them/they have to chill
