On my dance walk it was quite a party. I got chocolate from my neighbor (I had recently given him tea) and he returned the bowl with chocolate in it. Then I ran into a mom scurrying out with her kid. The one who told me "some people are shitheads" when I told her about getting silenced/gaslit by the woman I thought was a friend - the one I told, "No they just act like it sometimes." Her little boy was hesitating to go to school - "Are we late?" he said. "No, said his mama, but we will be if we don't go." I was able to playfully coax him to go with his mom. He made a funny face at me. It was HILARIOUS!
Have you ever had a moment where, because of you weren’t in a certain role you were actually able to help in a unique way, precisely because of the perspective that comes from not being “the role,” in the story above, the role of the parent?
This is why people are meant to grow and raise kids in community.
I’ve seen those who try to identify the nuclear family with Patriarchy, and it isn’t so. There are lots of ways to structure family and all thrive best when there are other people besides parents who are present and who care about the kids besides their biological parents, but Patriarchy is just as present when the state feels patronizing or controlling and tries to raise kids instead of parents, or take away their rights as to how they want to raise their children regarding health or gender. It is every bit a parents choice how they want to raise their children on these matters, as it is whether they want to carry a child to term. The only situations in which interventions to remove a child from a home or override a parents’ choice should be overt physical and/or sexual abuse. Otherwise it is better to provide support in ways that honor a family in whatever form than to try to override it. How much is the government responsible for the drugs that have made their way into communities of color and other vulnerable populations?
How much of what has become LSD culture is linked to government programs?

How tied were the intellectuals who were linked with these covert programs that had correlates in approved research at various universities, and the millionaire and oligarch class?
Aldous Huxley would become the ideological leader behind the CIA’s infamous “mind-control” program, known as MK-Ultra. Mary and Paul Mellon shared a friendship to Carl Jung with Allen Dulles, who would become the first civilian head of the CIA in 1953.[27] It was anthropologist Gregory Bateson who provided the rationale for the creation of the CIA in a letter to his boss, Bill Donavan.[28]Bateson was a leading member of the Cybernetics Group, a CIA project that both directed the evolution of the personal computer, and contributed to MK-Ultra.
Like MK-Ultra, the personal computer was a project of the Cybernetics Group, and designed to provide the ultimate tool of social control.
Excerpted from Fascism and Psychedelics
By David Livingston
I posted the article on fascism and psychedelics and a reader observed, “Why don’t they use religion instead of drugs?”
My response is they do their best with religion. I could also add the psychedelics combines drugs and religion by opening up the person to various channels and serving as a pluripotent amplifier. Basically like the F word. It can be used politically, and those researching know that, on both sides of the aisle.
You can learn more here.
I used to wonder why people said not to talk about religion, politics or sex. I am not built for superficiality - I literally can’t do it. It is soooo awkward when/if I try.
Everything used as a form of propaganda- whether drugs, religion, sex, politics or other ideological and energetically manipulative mechanism are the low vibe versions of our direct connection to The Source of All Life and to one another, and how we structure (or don’t structure) our relationships with one another and with The Source Of All Life. Using drugs plus religion, politics and sex amplifies these areas where our core life force holds its sense of direction and can either be held in a sovereign way that honors our soul and the soul of others in communion with Life and God, or can, often without our knowing or fully transparent consent, be used to manipulate our feelings, drives, actions, viewpoint-perceptions and allowances based on how we’ve been groomed or the experiences we’ve been introduced to, subjected to, or coached around to see within lenses that have intentional distortions in them designed to keep us prisoners of consciousness.
True freedom is not the freedom from God but the honest appraisal that we are one with God and unique expressions of the divine, with free will. Our greatest futures lie not in rejecting God, but choosing to fully embrace the divinity within us that is also within all others - and to consecrate our free will to Unconditional Divine Love and Unconditional Divine Will.
