I sketch almost exclusively in ballpoint pen nowadays, and it's still my medium of choice for plein air studies:

First drawing from my series ‘The Dead Hate the Living’. This work was sold and exhibited last year ✍️

Matches my experience.

Upper limits aren’t real ceilings.
They’re comfort zones dressed as logic.
Your brain whispers: “Don’t grow too fast. You’ll lose people. You’ll screw it up.”

Growth always feels unsafe at first. That’s how you know it’s real.

"Almost equally dangerous is the Gospel of Uniformity. The differences between nations and races of mankind are required to preserve the conditions under which higher development is possible . . . Mankind has wandered from the trees to the plains, from the plains to the seacoast, from climate to climate, from continent to continent, and from habit of life to habit of life. When man ceases to wander, he will cease to ascend in the scale of being. Physical wandering is still important, but greater still is the power of man's spiritual adventures--adventures of thought, adventures of passionate feeling, adventures of aesthetic experience. A diversification among human communities is essential for the provision of the incentive and material for the Odyssey of the human spirit. Other nations of different habits are not enemies: they are godsends. Men require of their neighbors something sufficiently akin to be understood, something sufficiently different to provoke attention, and something great enough to command admiration. We must not expect, however, all the virtues. We should even be satisfied if there is something odd enough to be interesting." Alfred North Whitehead, _Science and the Modern World_, 1925

There's a resonance there of something written 100 years ago...

Real life seems to be it

The Archons,
They are the Principalities that Jesus speaks of in Gospels…. I’ve just been on fire for this wisdom, that had been purposefully destroyed and hidden.

It’s amazing what they write out was so religion would be a system of control since Constantine. The apocryphal books where Christ teaches how to connect to the divine source, practical means to protect against spiritual attacks, ultimately ascension. Highly recommend

Hello there, your my only follow I have here… need to find folks aligned with me, and I know the energies and frequency will match!

Best sleeping weather season as well =)

Might want to talk collab at some point.

This is a beautiful song, and i needed to hear this tonight. These are the best songs… the sad ones.. they make me feel so normal and better.

so prior to the show and the storm they played full set so we could at least enjoy their awesome music and not be a waste of money.

Beyond that, they are highly emotionally intelligent. One show in Virginia I had gone… well a terrible lightning storm was coming down on us, they knew they wouldn’t let us in to see them perform…

I know I will love this, Radiohead got me through a tough period in my life. I followed their tour one year for a few stops… music live is amazing, his voice so haunting, and the complexity of the compositions, they are all top flight musicians.

I believe if i admit words have particular meanings, i must point out that your threats does not follow. It is a non sequester.

Shield Your Home: Harmonizing Your Home Against EMF Frequencies EMF Radiation is everywhere. I found harmonizing harmful frequencies is better than trying to block EMF's. My EMF guy Ted McCullough explains why.

This is a classic, just surprised why it hasn’t taken off here… I assume we all have seen it, but there are new kids who havent.
I think this video series encapsulates the life of autistic individuals, at least in some little way, at some point.
Not sure if your ND at all, but i really enjoyed this.

Just found you today… keep up the good work tho… since the elections, engagement on all platforms on either the left or right is seeing a huge drop.

Student Notebook: The Physics of Autistic Inertia Hari Srinivasan describes the difficulty autistic people face in starting, stopping, or switching tasks, as well as how to manage this feeling of “inertia” as a graduate student.

“Newton’s … law of inertia, tells us that an object at rest stays at rest, & an object in motion stays in motion, unless something intervenes. In daily life, autistic inertia echoes this: Starts, stops, & shifts can require disproportionate effort.”

Censorship is not good. I would imagine the online negativity wouldn’t be so high if certain narratives were promoted. Best to confront bad information with good.

Heya Nicole, nice to find you over here. I am making a list, and learning through trial and error on another SM app… anyhow the list is of people to chat on or about our experience around ND, a place of hope and support. Do you mind if I add you?

I welcome a fellow Eagles fan, but SJ is totally the initials we use for south jersey. In locals minds, the northern part of the state IS another state.

I have been enjoying the first couple seasons… what are they up to now?

I would like to get to meet some local folks who Appreciate Thelema, and could show me the way. To actualize myself in the way that Crowley taught, and Jack Parsons lived.

Ought to lowercase that.

Or put parody account in your title.
