Manifest this

 I love the idea of manifesting money.

I follow all these gurus who say just manifest money and get your vibe in alignment. As soon as your in alignment, BOOM, you’ll have everything you want. That’s a super nice ideal, but what about the thousands of migrants who die every year trying to get to the United States? Or the single mother busting ass to make a dime to support her family. Is she not vibing right, not working hard enough? I love the spiritual community. I follow and engage with it. However, there are some deep inequities that are not addressed. If you are able to manifest to have your needs met, you are PRIVILEGED. There are thousands starving throughout the world. They are so focused on food. There are addicts praying to find a way to get clean, as they slip into another high. It’s great to get your vibration right to manifest money and shit. But that’s a fucking privilege MILLIONS aren’t entitled to. Check your privilege. There are forces at play that are not going to satisfy your manifestations. It isn't to discount the power of attraction or manifestation or whatever. But if manifesting was as easy as getting your thoughts and energies right, the world would be a totally different place. 

So what is the point of my cynical post? Your pile of money is selfish if you are not actively seeking for the justice and comfort of others. You want to make more money? That's great. What are you doing to support your communities and the world? Because the world is a community. We are a global system, impacting each other each day in and out. What are you doing to make this planet better? How are you supporting your community? If you are using your community to support your pocketbook, what are you really offering this world? 

I get it. People deserve to live comfortably. People deserve money and comfort. Manifesting money isn't evil. But what are you doing with it? What is the system that you are using to gain that money? Is it inequitable? The world is calling. We need to do something with this manifesting and this privilege. There are social justice and environmental injustices calling to be heard. It's a nice bubble to live in. But we all need to do more. Especially me. This is me calling me out formally. The world needs us to make a difference with that bank. The world needs our voices. Our planet is being raped. We need to reduce our output. I know that. love my stuff. But we have to reduce consumption. Slaves are being used to produce most of this stuff, in this country or around the world. Their lives are worth more. "Because I have been given much, I too must give." 

So my light friends, use your manifesting for some real good in the world. Money isn't evil, unless you hoard it. The system is set up to serve a few, while millions want. If you have real manifesting powers, use them for the good of all, and not just to serve yourself. Always, in love.

My intention wasn't to slander. My intention was to see if someone else had experienced the same.

  Last fall I spoke of an assault by a previous partner. I didn’t mean to smear anyone’s name. I posted in the Are We dating the Same Guy group because I wanted to see if anyone else had my experience. I didn't post for a long time because I didn't want to deal with it. I initially posted anonymously. My posts weren't getting noticed so I posted it with my name attached to it.  My posts were deleted without any explanation in this group. I tried posting 3 times. I was soon kicked out of the group because I kept posting about being censored. After my posts were deleted, I started to notice some weird behavior happen around me that made me believe my name had been smeared in an alternative group. The text messages sent from my ex stated that I didn't want a "he said, she said thing."   When it comes down to the facts, I didn’t know if a lack of consent was intentional or not. We both had been drinking. People do things when they’re drinking that they wouldn’t do

Here's the DL on my trauma, either for your empathy or morbid curiosity.

I have been having so many flashbacks. This is why I used to drink. Drinking would help me feel safe in my body. It would drown out the pain that was so loud. I have been alcohol free for over 120 days now.  Trigger alert: childhood sexual abuse.  I have been having visceral and visual flashbacks of being sexually abused when I was 5 years old. Recently when I was intimate with my partner, I couldn't close my eyes because I would be back there.   Being molested at 5 years old multiple times and being threatened is horrific. If I pray to God to save me, if I am not saved, does that mean I deserve this? I am so little that this must be true. It's not true. I know that now. But all I felt like for such a long time was a sex object. Who does that to a kid, to a person? This shit has been buried so deep in me that it has only been coming out the last few years. What happened during covid almost broke me but it allowed me to uncover this deeply buried trauma that has sabotaged my lif

Something not quite rape, but it feels that way anyways

 Here I go again, talking about sexual consent. That's because it is fucking important.  Rape is such a limiting word. It doesn't speak to all of the differing levels of consent. It doesn't address when a girl doesn't say no; she just feels like she doesn't have a choice. She feels like she made a commitment that she now has to fulfill, so she sacrifices her body and her mind to fulfill her relationship duty. The consequences include suicidal ideation and blackout drunkness because she has given up her humanity for just a moment, to please another person she feels she is obligated to please, even though the timing and the location were not desired.  The boy doesn't get it. He doesn't fully understand consent either. He wasn't taught that you should make sure that a girl is actually into it, not just fulfilling an earlier commitment. He would be blindsided by the accusation that somehow this was sexual assault. He experienced the consequences though. He h
