Cate Montana, in her memoir Unearthing Venus, tells a story that illuminates the connection between colonialism and women’s disempowerment.
A turning point in her own understanding of the feminine comes when she interviews John Perkins, who lived and studied with the Shuar tribe in the Amazon rainforest. Perkins was told that one of the roles of women — their most important job, on which the survival of the tribe depends — is “telling men when it is time to stop … men hunt animals & cut trees even when there is enough meat and wood, unless women rein them in.” Perkins tells of a Shuar shaman coming to visit the United States, asking,
🔑“Where are your women? Why are they not telling the men to stop?”
Barstow reports that, as a legacy of the witch hunts, European women became afraid to speak up, and protested less: “From having, at the end of the Middle Ages, a reputation for being scolds and shrews, bawdy and aggressive, women began to change into the passive, submissive type that symbolized them by the mid-nineteenth century.” The centuries-long war on Venus,
which tortured the feminine out of existence &made it dangerous for a woman to speak up or speak out, left industrial civilization free to dominate & exploit the planet and its peoples. Victoria Cotton on Barstow and womens history
After seeing first hand at least in the area that I am visiting now the low turnout for anti-rape culture
The lack of women's interest in uniting, the equal lack of good sex no orgasms &still not saying anything!
But seriously we are better than a game of illusory power.
But all are free to choose and free will can be a bitch 🤸🙏🏼💕
Quote Spicy dish
For Huxley, the drug gave him unmediated access to realms of existence usually only known to mystics and a handful of history’s great visionary artists. This other world is always present but in ordinary moments is kept from our awareness by the ‘reducing valve’ if everyday waking consciousness, a kind of mental filter that admits only ‘a measly trickle of the kind of consciousness’ we need in order to survive. Michael Pollan, How to Change Your Mind
Barefoot Chillosophy Dash of Healing
Before walking barefoot and receiving in awareness the Energy of the super organism beneath your feet which you are a part of, open your body electric.
Open yourself your energy centers, to receive it.
More.
organs as well as the feet are tied to orgasm.
Continue drawing the energy up through your feet into your base chakra and up your spine and out your crown. Continue breathing the energy in for a few minutes. The feet chakras are very important for being able to draw in energy. This drawing in of energy is important for healing yourself and as you raise the healing vibration within and that is your energy because you are One with all you raise the Healing vibration of All. Your healing vibe energy joins the energetic wave which includes that of all who are healing as well which increases the Energy of the very Earth's healing. receive / receive Was never give & take What have you to give to something as vast and limitless, especially if that vast limitless being /thing is you? Be YOU receive All of you, all that you are, know thyself
Receive of yourself & let it overflow all throughout all that is you.
Increase the moments of living as the Energy that you are.
Just sharing the way I do my practice but they are are the right ways especially if they are yours

Why do we need dualistic practices, such as generating merit, to reach a state that transcends duality? Because we have to start from where we are. Our mind’s true nature is covered by karmic turbulence caused by our grasping at self and our negative mental habits. “Grasping at a self” refers to the way we grasp at mental objects as truly existing, perceiving them dualistically as subject and object. The aspect of our mind that perceives this way is conceptual mind. Conceptual mind and the true nature of mind are like the surface and depths of the ocean: The surface is choppy with wind-tossed waves; beneath it is still and peaceful. Most of us can’t glimpse into the depths, our true nature, because our conceptual mind is constantly churning out turbulence. Grasping at self tricks us, like a nightmare, into believing that we are separate from the world and each other. This triggers negative emotions, from craving and anxiety to jealousy and aggression, which spill out into unhealthy words and actions. Every dualistic perception, every negative thought, feeling, word, and deed, leaves a negative karmic imprint in our conceptual mind that walls us off from our true nature. On the other hand, positive mentalities leave positive karmic imprints that open our mind, loosen grasping at self, and thin out the barriers to our true nature. As long as we have dualistic concepts and emotions, the world is solid to us. Our suffering is all too real. Circumstances matter. If our surroundings are chaotic, it will be hard to find tranquillity. If we experience peace and joy, however, we will be inspired to generate even more peace and joy. Then whatever we say and do will be the words and deeds of joy and peace. We progressively loosen our grasping at self, and eventually we glimpse the luminous nature of our mind. If we perfect this realization, we uproot grasping at self and become fully awakened. – Tulku Thondup Rinpoche
