I was inspired to write these the other day while giving myself some TLC while coming down from throbbing cramps. Using the idea of opposites that I've begun to understand better through yoga nidra & panchakarma, I decided to embody this by focusing on what felt healing to me & the opposite of the pain I was suffering. This led to writing these simple but highly significant & therapeutic poems. Although the essential oils patch I put on myself certainly helped, I believe that shifting my attention towards creative writing & my imagination also made a significant difference in bringing down my perception of pain. I was able to fall asleep after writing these poems. I'll be seriously weaving in this concept of balancing opposites in my embodiment for 2024, since I still have a lot of self-healing to do as I continue to recover from burnout & adrenal fatigue. Creativity gives us our power back.

But 9 is the place where nothing & everything exists & the inspiration is held. ๐โณ๏ธ๐ต๐ซ๐ Just a warning that the whispers get louder and more dramatic at the 3rd reading of Distraction & the bit on the purpose of distractions... and then it calms down into my softer, normal, whispering voice again lol I just had too much fun recording this one & Distraction & the paragraph that follows after it are probably the climax or the greatest epiphany of this series, though they're all special and were enlightening for me. If you can get past my cliche reading of "Time," 3 times, then you'll get to enjoy the jems in "Him" & my vision of the end of times (& the beginning of another golden age) that's presented in "The Last Poem." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awhisperrr/support
Finally! I finish reading Ender's Game & get to my favorite chapter: Speaker for The Dead, & share some thoughts in between paragraphs on why I loved this book as a kid & why I still love it & why it's relevant to our times now & till the end of time! This book is about empathy, forgiveness, re-writing stories to create better ones, more peaceful ones, not giving up on wisdom, telepathy, being a highly sensitive person and all the different ways this can look on a kid, & at least in my understanding of the new to-be-queen that Ender's carrying inside that cocoon he is keeping safe...it's about synarchy. Life really is all about our relationships, be it with each other, &/or the planet we inhabit, other creatures on it, and the rest of the universe. It's called a uni-verse for a reason. It's all just one thing, & all we're doing is living our lives awakening to the fact that we are slowly, step by step, returning to the unity consciousness that we came from before the Big Bang fragmented us into all of these parts. At the same time, we can appreciate other life forms, other people, other ways of living, & even other religions, shall I dare say, by recognizing how they're just playing out a role and if traced back to the original source energy...are not separate from anything else & instead of creating wars on the details and differences in how these fragmented parts have evolved into such seemingly unique individuals & idea systems, what if we tried to empathize with each other and our collective human history? And our collective human future? What if we stopped focusing on how we're different and put on a different lens that helped us see how much more alike we are than different and in what ways? And how our differences actually make us stronger? Because it's an ecosystem...and the ecosystem is just trying to restore its balance and return to a harmonious state by working through all the disharmony that's taken place throughout time... ๐๐๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐I am having a quiet evening/night full of reflection and wishing everyone that's listening to this some inner peace and loving vibes for 2024. What kind of world do you want to contribute towards? What character do you want to play? What kind of history do you want to be a part of? & how can you, by your every day actions, co-create that history? I am going to focus on my relationship with consumption vs creation, & being intentional with what I consume so that it's guided by my intuition and my pull to heal within so that I can take what comes my way and only love it, no matter what it is... I'll be consuming less and intentionally creating more, both actual food with 2 new cookbooks and world's of my own making in the book I'm gonna start writing...as well as more breath and somatic healing movements (think yoga, maybe some Tai Chi or Qigong if a friend can teach me, & of course... freestyle dancing!...my favorite!)๐ฅฐ Let the energy inside you flow into creative expression so that it doesn't fester and turn destructive. We are vessels for continual growth. How are you going to tend to your inner garden and what are you going to plant? ๐ Merry Christmas Eve to those that celebrate & Happy Holiday Down-Time for those that don't! I hope it's a peaceful, joyful, & non-judgmental one! ๐The cover of this episode is a page in the back of my copy of Ender's Game and it lists the sequels and stories that follow as Ender & his sister Valentine travel the universe. I haven't read the rest of the series and am now tempted to read Speaker for The Dead, which is next up in the series. It may be especially relevant to all the grieving (& healing) that is taking place in the world right now. More so though, I just personally wasn't ready to read the sequel back in grade school, though I had attempted it, & I'm not entirely sure if I am ready to absorb it now without taking time away from my own writing, but it's worth opening as my next potential inspiration! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awhisperrr/support

In tonight's episode, I read to you a weird journal entry I wrote on what I recall from a recent trance state I experienced naturally & read the entire Wikipedia page of PHONK!-My most recent musical obsession๐๐ฅโ ๏ธ๐๐๐ I also begin reading the Wikipedia page on ASMR itself, with some tangential pages branching from the ASMR page, saving the entire ASMR page Wikipedia reading for another episode all on its own!

Though...I am picky with the songs I like.... ASMR Wikipedia reading with its relevant tangents begin at around 20 to 21 minutes in. Enjooooyyyeeeโบ๏ธI think I've come full circle with understanding my childhood fascination with ghosts, frission (auditory-tactile synesthesia) & a strong connection to the spirit & imagination realm. This episode (& as I've noticed many of my other episodes) sound kinda choppy, & I think I realize a huge part of why I like phonk music now lol something about things being "chopped & screwed" is fun & engaging to me...it's like an alarm clock that goes, "Boo! Wake up!" & is better than zombie-states. Lol though some of the lo-fi & relaxing or calm phonk for sleep is also nice based on the mood. I'd say the most relaxing phonk song that I've heard so far that I think many could groove to is METAMORPHOSIS by INTERWORLD & a nice one for the "chopped & screwed" sound is GHOST!

Another episode at the fake beach (though a good enough river with real sand) near my house. Reflecting on the passing of another year as it nears its end! The waves crashing in the background were super relaxing for me๐ I hope it's a nice background for you tooโบ๏ธ Whisper Musings about the cliche of needing something bigger than myself to live for...or live with, rather. I think that nature & everything's that's rooted in the Earth is worth living with & living for. The past few weeks have been really emotional (lots of trauma being released & many things are shifting for me internally). Changes are both exciting AND depressing...until this wave passes, I'll keep my spirits up (or rather, the spirits will keep me upโบ๏ธ) through the animistic connection to nature... thank goodness๐ I am missing a few people & the beach reminds me of them๐๐ It's also just a nice reprieve to walk by the water almost always, especially on colder days when it's almost empty. ๐๐๐๐โ๏ธ--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awhisperrr/support
All uhms aside, this episode shares some serious reflections about our times & my recent explorations of the Hindu apocalyptic myths & the myths from other cultures, especially the Nordic one. I am trying to find the similarities & differences. It seems I have more exploring to do. Currently Animism makes the most sense to me, but I also really understand the wisdom of the yogic teachings & it's emphasis on allowing energy to flow through the body...are both cultures saying the same thing in a different way? I think I intuitively understand the unity between different ways of seeing the world & ourselves in it, & its not something that can be explained well when I get complex or detailed. I think maybe getting complex or detailed is missing the point...which is simply to live & experience life rather than get all up in my head about its meaning or "how to save the world." The more I reflect on these things, the closer I get to understanding that there's nothing I can do except to accept the current reality and make the choice to focus on the things that continue the nurturing cycle of life, including a focus on my closest relationships, building healthy new ones, repairing broken ones if possible, spending more time in nature, and in doing things that light me up so that I can be of some service to the world & not lose my motivation. Although this one is a rather intense whisper musings episode, I hope it still helps you relax & fall asleep &/or experience those feel-good ASMR tingles. You might have to turn the volume down & adjust it to a place that sounds just right for youโบ๏ธ Thanks for listening & tuning in to my existential musings about the world๐ ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ฅฐ๐--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awhisperrr/support

I FINALLY get back to Ender's Game & read the rest of Chapter 14. This one starts off rather quiet & sleepy-like & then gets suuuppperrr Intense as the ending approaches and the simulation battles begin! In parts of this I think I've read faster than I've read something before...almost like I turned the speed dial in my speech up to x2...? Though I am sure I could read even faster but my brain might explode then so...lol... not sure if I'll go there. Thanks for listeningโบ๏ธ๐ฌ๐ง This one may not be as gentle, though, its still in whisper format & I am curious how it goes for you all, if some of you enjoy the faster, more intense whispers & the change & fluctuation in the cadence of these. After I finish reading Ender's Game, I think I will go back to recording some meditations & do more stream of consciousness thoughts about different ideas that fascinate me or inspire me in some way.... I just want to get through this book first though, in whatever form that takes, cuz I am trying to understand & remember why it was 1 of my favorite childhood books & see if my response to it now, about 17-ish? Years later...has changed, & if so, how. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awhisperrr/support
Whisper Musings about my life's purpose (currently & in the years to come). I talk about my strong convictions & my Angel Number 17 guiding me (talking about the Angel Number begins at 50 minutes-ish into the episode with my relationship with writing & is later re-visted through different lenses at around an hour & 17 minutes in, with relevant tangents along the way as usual!) I am opening to all the wildness & inner wisdom within & that's what I am going to channel in my writing for my New Year's Resolution! The writing's gonna be a therapeutic resource, & I may share some of it on my website every so often, but the majority of it won't be shared until I am ready to share the whole book, whenever that is done! You can find my current writings & other art at aekbeing.crevado.com ๐ In this episode & in general with my writing & creative process, I am letting go of perfectionism....Saving grammer edits & any other tedious edits for the end of my projects...& encouraging everyone to LEAN AWAY FROM WHAT DRAINS YOU, and INTO WHAT LIGHTS YOU UP!

I am currently re-obsessed with Norse Mythology after a long break of ...can't count how many years it's been. I am especially interested in the etymology of Loki (& in etymology in general, across genres & subjects...) & may read more about Loki &/or other Norse Gods & Goddesses, myths, & stories in the future! Also, this is just a side-note, but I am NO EXPERT in Norse Mythology. I just find it it very fascinating & have been awed by it since I was about 11, though, I can trace back my 1st introduction to Viking & Norse influences back to my really early childhood through the music of Eluveitie (shared with me by an older cousin) & I absolutely loved some of their songs & found the female vocals very empowering as a 5 to 7 year old. Anyway, there may be another episode recorded on whisper reading the Wikipedia of Eluveitie, but this one introduces the Wikipedia page of Loki & then I jump into talking about tiny homes lol Another obsession I got back into after watching Hack My Home on Netflix & observe & enjoy my newly renovated bathroom...It got me reflecting on the time I renovated an apartment unit through the help of volunteers (I fundraised for the whole thing myself) & I am missing that type of confidence? Energy? Stamina? Practice? Or just YOUTH? Lol I had back at age 17. I've changed so much since then & yet in some ways, I feel like my values have stayed the same-I still care about creativity, sustainability, & community. I think the state of the world right now could use a tiny home village/communes/co-housing/"radical" movement of the re-purposing of spaces to decrease the amount of waste in our ecology. ๐ฑ๐ฑโจ๏ธAnyway, I will share more on my reflections on all the ways I can live with less & what that might mean for me as an artist.... This one's just a short whispered Musings + Wiki intro episode on 2 recent explorations โบ๏ธ Enjoy! ๐ฑโจ๏ธAlso, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LISTENING TO THE PODCAST CALLED NORDIC ANIMISM (hosted by a PhD Scholar, Rune) IF YOU'RE ALSO EQUALLY CONCERNED WITH THE ENVIRONMENT & OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH IT + ALL RELATIONSHIPS IN GENERAL (including human relationships). The perspectives shared on there are ones that I truly respect and believe as the reasons why Norse Mythology & the more indigenous Nordic Viking culture always fascinated me. I would like to explore more indigenous cultures in general now...including Native American, African, & other indigenous cultures. They knew how to live in harmony with nature! & in some ways (better than us "civilized" humans today)...they knew how to live with more reverence, respect, & honor for self-sovereignty amongst themselves & other humans! ๐ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awhisperrr/support

Would you like to be fish that can also fly? & imagine your room underwater with the ceiling being the surface of the water, where you occasionally pop your head up & out, into the open air? Eventually ascending into the sky & flying about as you like? (Always remembering that you can come back home to the ocean in your room? Surrounded by coral)? It's somewhat how it goes... + some other random noises passing by with the background of the fan as a constant (& also what leads us to the end of the podcast episode....just fan with occasional whispers popping in...)..

When we accept ourselves and don't force ourselves or others to change, we help everyone feel appreciated & valued for who they are! (Not who we think they "should" be) & create a more inclusive world. & then Ender's Game chapter 13! Called Valentine. This is one of my, if not, THE, most favorite chapters in the book! Maybe just the last chapter beats it...? I read about 75% of it tonight and I hope you enjoy my little updates & the whispered reading of this book!

Another break from Ender's Game! I whisper read a recent interesting dream I had, without interpreting tooooo much (there might be more dream analysis I have to do if the dream or themes from it pop up for me in the future....). Then I somehow go on many tangents about where I am at in life, how I feel about money & the larger social structures that be, & muse on about things I am genuinely curious about & currently developing a healthier relationship to! In the last 15 minutes or so, I've just added a clip from another night in which I didn't end up publishing cuz I fell asleep, but it consists of very slow and sleepy sounding, barely audible but still there whispers...about trying to guide you through a visual foot massage, but I end up falling into hypnagogic states a lot & thus begin whisper rambling about checking things out at the store because now I'm having dreams about being a part time cashier since that's what I do for 4 hours a week in my waking life. Lol there's fan noise in the background to add to the drone like quality at the end...which is basically just random bits of whispered gibberish about toes, receipts, & rewards cards. They've got the script drilled into my head lol --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awhisperrr/support
This is my least favorite chapter of the whole book, because it has the most amount of violence & grief. In others ways though, it's an important turning point in the story, since Ender decides he wants to quit the game, & he is also graduated early to Command School by the end of it. This chapter shows how much Ender is affected by the teachers' plans to turn him into some kind of unstoppable force & how he breaks down after hurting a bully, even if they had it coming. The chapter shows us what Ender is capable of, when tested to his limits, & how, ultimately, he is just a boy whose been turned into a soldier & used for his intelligence & isolation as someone who never felt like he fit in. It's a sad chapter, but things will improve from here! The last chapters are probably some of my favorites! Only some of the beginning chapters and the ones in which Ender has real moments of friendship with some of the kids at Battle School compare....But we're nearing the end of this story & the biggest lesson in it all! I haven't read the sequels to Ender's Game... but I might pick it up this time around. I still haven't decided what the next book will be that I decide to share on this podcast. I might pause with the books and go back to guided meditations, affirmations, yoga nidra (I'm getting my certification! ๐โบ๏ธ) or just random Wikipedia readings. I usually follow where my inspiration guides me....

Whisper reading chapter 10 of Ender's Game with the white noise of my room's fan in the background. My fan switches up its sound (yes, I am talking about the fan as if it's got its own mind). All jokes aside though, my fan's been making a strange, deep, storm like, wave like sound ever since the AC tech worked on the AC unit outside...it's potentially been 1 of the underlying environmental causes of 2 recent nightmares, but I've had some really nice dreams recently as well โบ๏ธ So it all balances out.

Also, happy birthday to all the taboo breaking, rule challenging, intelligent (& "too intelligent for their own good,") but ultimately honest and empowering Scorpios out there who are celebrating their birthdays this time of year! When you're sharing your "good side," shining your light & living in integrity, you're helping others do the same, empowering the best in others and in yourselves! Now I know all signs can do this in their own way, and astrology is way more than your sun sign, but...I just wanted to give a special shout out to the Scorpio that inspired this podcast & all the other intensely honest & deeply caring Scorpios in the world! Whether you're tuned into this episode, & the message at the end, or not, I see & appreciate your intense magic. When it comes from the heart, it's a force of alchemy for positive changes in people (or at least it was/is in me, if not other people). Be the light you see in others...we cannot see another's light without knowing we have it in ourselves, & we cannot see another's shadow or darkness without also knowing we have it within us. ๐โฏ๏ธ--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awhisperrr/support

Taking another break from reading Ender's Game to return to key concepts of non-violence described in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. I've been learning about non-violent communication (Marshall Rosenberg) & reflecting on how I can practice this more in my own circles of people.

I've been exploring Human Design a lot recently. My favorite podcast is the DayLuna Human Design Podcast. The hosts of that podcast are 2 very intelligent & very loving, confident women that are helping spread the message of the power in coming home to our own true nature and expressing the best parts of ourselves & supporting others to do the same. Listening to them, it's like they're exuding love. I highly recommend...especially listening to their earlier episodes & how they got where they are now based on the power of shifting their beliefs and embracing an abundance mindset. I reflect on how understanding my Energy Type (through Human Design language) is helping me become more confident, love & respect myself & others more, & gain self-efficacy through consistency. ~~~Ender's Game Whispers begin around 21min...or just after that...a couple seconds into 21min...In this chapter of Ender's Game, we begin to see character development in Valentine & Peter (a break from the camera being on Ender & his life at Battle School) & the philosophy of power gets introduced in a new light. The importance of the changing relationship between a previously & naturally more violent & naturally non-violent person, & how their dynamics shift each other-what they learn from each other... This chapter switches back & forth between Valentine's point of view, & Peter's point of view...to give is the most unfiltered truth from each character's unfiltered thoughts & slightly more filtered speech (especially from Valentine). This is the beginning of a hint at the power of the divine feminine, although not discussed in this way in this chapter.... it's how I see Valentine's power. Her ability to empathize...even with her brother, who she's seen skinning squirrels. How...she is able to empathize with someone whose actions she would never imitate...and how that empathy helps her form strategic alliances & even help keep the balance between her formerly violent brother Peter & the rest of the people that she might view as more "innocent." She also understands her own shadow, as described in this chapter, & doesn't deny it...but understands that one can both enjoy power AND be genuinely caring at the same time- that those 2 ideas or experiences don't have to be separate & can actually potentially help a lot of people when combined. They're only 12 & 10, but their intelligence, care, self-awareness, & even some wisdom.... is above average. As they get older, this only improves and refines. A pretty intellectually intense chapter! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awhisperrr/support

Arguably, I recorded this in a hypnagogic state, half asleep, & half awake....It's like someone took the speed at which words come out of my mouth & turned it down to really. slow. motion. I hope it gives you tingles, helps you relax, & fall asleep! A little pause in reading Ender's Game! I had a full day on the day I recorded this & was so tired (in a good way) by the end of the day! After socializing with 3 men (my brother, his best friend, & my dad for my dad's 63rd birthday...when all he wanted to talk about was religion & war...) it was nice to record this super soft episode for you all & completely switch my mind from the interesting but ultimately heavy subjects to simply natural & "cloudy, quiet, & dreamy" states of being as I saw amazing visuals in my mind winding down for sleep with my eyes shut!

The real enemy that we are always fighting & learning to befriend as we gain wisdom is the enemy within each of us. Language is important. What if you could be your own best friend? What if you could befriend your shadows? What if befriending your shadows took away their power over you & meant you could also understand that everyone else in this world is just struggling with their own shadows & to achieve any kind of peace, we must learn to have compassion for the shadows within and without? When we cast things out, ostracize, or condemn them, they naturally feel defensive & seek vengeance & sometimes... this leads to terrorism & wars. Peace begins within (our own selves, than our immediate families, then our borader circles of neighbors, friends, coworkers etc... & then the larger societies we inhabit). Ender wants to protect those he cares about & he doesn't want to be a killer, but he finds himself with an army that organically formed through observing his strength & tact. He hates this part of him that Battle School loves and is feeding off of. He hasn't quite fully realized its all a simulation & that he doesn't have to give in to what Battle School is trying to make of him...or have him believe (that he is some kind of savior that will save humanity from the Bugger aliens). In these chapters, he is beginning to question things that he hadn't questioned before though...after Dink challenges his idea about the place or why they're there.... It's getting intense AND... it is only going to get more intense before there is any true wisdom gained by Ender or anyone else in the story and some kind peace is reached or is gotten closer to... This might just be science fiction story... but... it's a great one and I am reflecting on what it means to love radically today... to love ourselves and others who may be different from us...how can we peacefully coexist? How can we learn to appreciate and understand differences and agree to disagree & where does it need to start? Inside our own hearts, and inside our own homes and personal relationships...it's a ripple effect. Fear and hate will breed fear and hate. And a false sense of safety that comes from believing that creating separation to protect our own beliefs will lead to peace and our own or other people's liberation.... When really, the more beautiful, evolved, & peaceful communities, families, and relationships, micro or macro scale, are those in which we embrace and thrive in our differences to make each other and the whole unit stronger. Learn to see someone elseโs perspective. Why they may have gotten to the place where they're doing what they're doing. Choose Love over Fear when you are in the position to make a choice about it & realize that we all need the nurturance of healthy, non-judgmental, non fear based relationships built on trust, safety, & security to be a good "citizen," or just a generally good, non-violent person in the world. How can you create that for yourself and those in your own immediate life and community? We can't control what's happening in Isreal. Focus on what you can control. Breath. Gratitude. Love. Understanding. Acceptance. Space for Grief. Compassion for it all. All the suffering. An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind. Try to love the one that hates. It's the hardest and most worthwhile thing to do. Not love in the sense of saying that it's okay to agree with violent and hurtful actions, but love in the sense of... a fierce need to understand the root causes of all suffering and how immediate compassion towards your own self & those in your immediate circle has lasting and powerful ripple effects that will keep you and your community resilient & neutralize fears. Its all in our development, attachments, & nervous system. Are you going to program yourself for war, or for love? There is strength in both & we don't have to pretend that it's one or the other. Be strong enough to defend AND love radically at the same time. ๐ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awhisperrr/support

Use your BEST headphones & put your volume up at FULL BLAST because this one is much softer than the previous 3 Ender's Game episodes. ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ Feeling softer today I suppose. Hope it helps you relax or fall asleep! This one's most likely to sound like whispered gibberish because of how soft spoken it is compared to the other episodes about Ender's Game. (At least for the 1st half or most of the episode!) ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฑ๐ฅฑ๐ด๐ด๐ค๐คโจ๏ธโจ๏ธโจ๏ธ๐ฆAnyway, Chapters 5 & 6- Games & The Giant's Drink. We begin to see Ender's leadership & friendships develop & both chapters end with showing the reader that Ender's a kind heart no matter how strong he gets. Even when he wins a game or hacks a game (often both) he keeps himself in check & he is constantly questioning his own integrity. At the end of chapter 5, he shows slight hints of compassion & even arguably forgiveness towards the class bully & in the 6th chapter, he finds a way, serendipitously, to begin a friendship with the enemy, or...former "enemy." When he beats a game & gets to "Fairyland," by killing a giant (which apparently no one, at least in his own class but no one in all of Battle School I believe...had done before) he compares himself to his older brother, who he saw as a killer, even though he knows he's not exactly like his brother. He begins to notice himself become more ruthless when he needs to achieve a goal, even if it's just a game & a simulation. He doesn't seem to be pleased with the fact that he beat the giant. Instead of exploring Fairyland, he just shuts off the game & sort of beats himself up over his own victory, rather than celebrating it...before he goes to sleep. Ender's character is developing... We're getting closer to the middle of the story.. I think that the 1st half of chapter 6 is one of my favorites! Learning to "bridge the gap" by befriending "the other side" is something we can all hope to have opportunities for, because it leads to true understanding & hints at possibilities of truces & peace, or at least cooperation...in the long run. I love when 2 "sides" of something converge to create a stronger whole! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awhisperrr/support

My favorite book! At least in the science fiction genre & an all time favorite in general. I've been feeling inspired to re-read this...maybe cuz I'm drafting my own sci-fi & fantasy book with a few sections of chapters already written? I am revisiting my classic favorites (not actual "classics," but my "personal classics,") & reflecting on the books that have made a lot of impact in my life & made me appreciate the depth and capacity of the human mind & our ability to empathize. Ender's Game is very special, because I could relate to Valentine, Ender's sister a lot, & also understand Ender through the amazing job Orson Scott Card does in describing Ender's reality to the reader. I admired how Ender's mind worked & how his intelligence went beyond just strategy & the games he played. Without giving away spoilers for those who haven't read the story or seen the movie, the real "juice" in the story (aside from the intensity & page turning nature of the entire thing) is really at the end of the book! The ending really struck a cord in me, & made me appreciate our connection to the galaxies and the nature of BEING, to a kind of sentience among ALL beings, human or not, to such a depth that I think I cried (while simultaneously being very intrigued by the paradoxical nature of mind & mental capacities, especially in our connections to others & the concept of hive mind or a "we.") It had me reflecting on the innocence of children & the bittersweet truth about our minds being so easy to mold & be a tool for creation, love, & harmony, or destruction & a false sense of "us vs them," or other-ness & separation mentality. I always enjoy stories about children as the main characters & the heroes and heroines, because it reminds me of the wisdom of children & their innate capacity to relate to, learn & get really good at anything, given the right environment & enough support towards any particular focus, & how both powerful & vulnerable a thing it is to "get conditioned." The moment of awakening & truth lies in children's (& adults' as the "conditioned children's") recognition of their conditioning & the choices we can make to unlearn what we've learned, or simply let ourselves trust ourselves, disregarding all conditioning. What what happens when we allow ourselves to live this way...Of course, all this is easier said than done, especially when our lives are set up to soldier us as if we must always be prepared for war, & in some fear (for many drilled into us like it should be a constant fear) of the "other," rather than focusing on what we could do to evolve into a more harmonious, empathetic & cooperative society. All of this conditioning inadvertently leads us to creating our own battles where there were none before we marched in without doubt as our greatest weapon, & the illusory divisions we create by focusing on these fears of the unknown rather than approach it aith a keen & friendly curiosity which could arguably even "embrace" the unknown. These are just some of my own thoughts & reflections on what Ender's Game catalyzed in me...In this episode though, I simply whisper read to you the beginning of the Introduction section of Ender's Game, & I hope it helps you sleep, get some tingles, or help you appreciate some of the background behind the making of Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card!

Been obsessed with the duo band, Purity Ring, since I heard Stardew last November & will be seeing them LIVE THIS November for their tour of Womb. Thought I'd look up & share some history about the band. Purity Ring's witch house, dream-pop, trip-hop, "future pop," (as they describe themselves) music is anything but religious. Religiously amazing dedication perhaps. Each song is flawless, lyrics taken from vocalist Megan James's own diary entries. Empowering to the core. "Gory" and "provocative" to some but ruthlessly and beautifully delivered through Corrin Roddick's electro-beats & his own hand made instrument concoction, both wearing clothes hand-sweb by Megan on live shows, with lighting also perfected to create the most existentialist fantastical vibe possible. Needless to say, I'm eager for this show. The music itself...is a must listen. Enjoy these whispers & I hope you drift off to sleep ๐โค

In soft voice/not full whispers-A new meditation I learned of just today. We don't give our bodies enough credit or attention, and real, loving attention, for everything they do for us. Bring loving kindness attention to your body by following along. Turn the self critical and hurtful attention to healing and loving.

In tonight's episode, I read an article called Achieving Mindfulness in Activism by Hannah Bae, published on ChoiceWords Blog on Jan 24, 2020. I explore this concept as an introduction, and share my personal thoughts and feelings about it. We cannot underestimate the power of gentleness- some of the greatest shifts happen in microsizes and ripple out- I think this is often overlooked. I would like to explore the power of mindfulness and meditation in creating lasting, true social change...more in future episodes.. I hope that this article and my thoughts help you feel more understood, and more self-compassionate, more gentle and forgiving with yourself, for I understand the struggle of feeling like we aren't doing enough or that feeling sad is "not allowed" (for us) when there is "so much worse out there in the world." Self compassion and self care must take precedence in order to truly show up and give back to the world- we can't change when we're burnt out, or depressed. We must take care of ourselves, in order to help others. This is what mindfulness helps us with. ๐๐ผ Thank you for listening. Hope you find some room for forgiveness and loving kindness towards yourself and others, with tonight's episode. ๐ง๐ง ๐ฆโจโจโค๏ธโค๏ธ
