Research suggests that all complex life forms, including humans, plants, and animals, trace their roots to a common Asgard archaean ancestor. This discovery aids in understanding the evolutionary step from microbes to eukaryotes and reveals that the Asgard archaea, evolving over 2 billion years ago, appear to be the progenitors of eukaryotic organisms.
"We’re All Asgardians"
I am reminded of a concept Frank Herbert proposed in “Dune” through the Bene Gesserit…
If the disciplined, do not comprehend that the discipline applied was directly a result of their own actions…it is perceived only as abuse…not a lesson.
They must be shown it was justice resultant of their choices in order to effect change.
Not mentioned in this fact-check article about the ridiculous claim that nobody called #Trump a racist until he ran for president: Woody Guthrie actually wrote lyrics for a song called "Old Man Trump" in 1954 about how Donald's father deliberately stirred up racism in order to profit by it.
This apple certainly didn't fall far from the tree.

The Science of Spiritual Narcissism.
Self-enhancement through spiritual practices can fool some of us into thinking we’re evolving and growing when all we’re growing is our ego.
“Ego is able to convert anything to its own use, even spirituality."

good morning everyone 🙏🏻✌🏽🖖
some
some wisdom from the I Ching about emotional obstacles.
"The ocean of passions, and the ocean of all knowledge are not really two in essence."
hence, there's danger there.
"Obstruction can also mean nurturance; when you encounter a situation that obstructs you and bog you down,
if you do not get resentful or bitter, but just nurture yourself to digest them, you will be successful.
However, one must not seek to obtain results too rapidly."
Good morning, CoSo!
Today's a good day not to surrender to toxic positivity. Anybody who insists that you turn a blind eye to suffering and problems in the world isn't your friend. You don't really achieve a world of sunshine and rainbows by pretending that the pollution and poverty and cruelty aren't there.

HAPPY Heavenly BIRTHDAY🎂

Marge 3 toes is sick beyond any kind of comprehension Democrats are NOT a pedophile ring and she's just instilling more hate against lgbtq and the political party that wants to help ALL people with her bullshit and going to get people killed. Hal does a really good job breaking this serious subject of pedophilia in politics down. Try to get your # save the children Q addled friends to watch this and maybe, just maybe they'll snap out of it. https://youtu.be/KGTHmxnxYyo
Just a bit of a vent session here... I've been waiting for two months to be able to schedule an appointment for therapy. (I'm a veteran and things are finally starting to take their toll.) So yesterday I made the appointment, yay, for this Thursday. Today, I got a call saying that I'm not eligible until September, sorry. Come back next month and we'll get you scheduled. 😞 I'm tired ya'll. I'm fine, just beat.
That's all, needed to say something to someone.
