Gemma's private viewing, 'Lighten Up'.

this reminds me that i don't HAVE to be constantly reiterating the feminist basics. i feel like if i don't, that person will carry on being misinformed, but this has reminded me that sometimes it's okay to not feel like i need to explain myself. i can just BE, proudly. sometimes that can be 'enough'. x

Evidence that your heart IS more than just a mechanical pump - that it is like a second brain, only stronger in its magnetic and electrical strength, and its electromagnetic strength is felt around our whole body and by those physically close to us!

"... In other words, one's emotional energy registered in the brainwaves of another. One person's heart signal can effect another's brainwaves, and heart-brain synchronization can occur between two people when they interact. ... The magnetic field produced by the heart is more than 5000 times greater in strength than the field generated by the brain."

"Getting stuck in triggered behavior patterns: Because one person's heartwaves register in another person's brainwaves, when one person gets emotionally triggered or stuck, the impact of their emotional energy may be strong enough to immobilize the other person." - Resonates BIG time with feelings of being trapped/cornered/needing to repel, sparked by being around 2 males in particular. I feel like I could feel their point of view - the feelings and thoughts they had of me and the situation we were in - to the extent that I could feel it somewhere grounded and solid in my body. It didn't sit comfortably at all within my body, and I felt like I couldn't be close to them in any future way. 

“Ideally, what should be said to every child, repeatedly, throughout his or her school life is something like this: 'You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, but it is the best we can do. What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are being taught by people who have been able to accommodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their predecessors. It is a self-perpetuating system. Those of you who are more robust and individual than others will be encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself — educating your own judgements. Those that stay must remember, always, and all the time, that they are being moulded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this particular society.” Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook

"GODDESS WOMBMEN ARE IMPERFECT! Why? Because PERFECT was created by masculine ideals! YOU GODDESS live by pleasure, emotion, feeling rather than thinking. YOU GODDESS live by experience and sensation rather than Guidelines and RIGHT/WRONG checks and balances.

YOU GODDESS crave to do everything backward because to you- "just being" spirals... rather than moving in a straight line is moving FORWARD.

Of course, everyone craves to balance their masculine and feminine poles. And there is peace in perfect linearity....

BUT WE HAVE TO LOVE OUR IMPERFECT SPIRALS. And see them as delicious experience.

******************

I love watching women expand into their various archetypes.

ALL WOMEN ARE: Mother, Virgin, SLUT, warrior, child, Depressive, Angry, SEXUAL, Joyous, Nurturing, Stoic, Masculine, Feminine, vulgar, proper, destructive, chaotic, organized... EXPANSIVE.

Boxes called "social acceptability" are making women fearful to spread their wings!

Well, CALL ME and I'll remind you to just be your ever changing self.

KALI ROAR! We are here to experience. So go experience!
GOOD BAD. RIGHT WRONG.

Let's cut the shit (the world's illusion) so we may ALL LOVE MORE!

******************

You, my SIRENS, are my life force. Your connection to sexuality, creativity, and nurturance gives me my Isis wings. You womben, who honor the moon cycle as it waxes and wanes. Your mystic, psychic capacities, fiery free spirits, emotional honesty, and connection to your bodies makes me potent. Powerful. Alive. To you, my goddesses, you are the snake that enters my yoni and touches my heart. You raise my kundalini so I may open to the heavens while rooting in the earth. Beauties- Let’s be an INSPIRATION by revealing our authentic selves. May we live in vibrance- un-bashfully basking in our presence. YES! To radiating pleasure. Bliss. "

you can't make homes out of human beings
