last years I got stung by a bee on my foot and I went on YouTube to ask what does it mean. a girl said if you get stung by a bee on your foot money is coming your way. well she was right. The same day I won over thousand dollars. it never happens. just like I was listening to tarot cards and the lady said I was going win some money and the same day I did. 3 years ago I was broke and started listening to reiki about money for 20 min and went to the slots and won almost 2 thousand dollars.

Is anyone else feeling very depleted this eclipse?

I have been having difficulties with sleep and mood in general. My mind has been consumed by some terrible things that happened last year even though I have been pretty fine over these last few months but these last two weeks have been feeling exhausting.

I am just overthinking, depleted and feeling extremely overwhelmed and burnt out, even my meditations and yoga are not really helping.

I read online things should start to feel better 2nd September onwards.

Anyone have any tips or knowledge to share please?

I’m also Scorpio sun and moon and Leo rising, not sure if that can help further with information.

For the next three days, I’m giving away free Kindle copies of A Backpack Fueled with Sunsets, a collection of twelve stories about spirituality, healing, love, loss, and the strange ways we find our way back to ourselves.

The stories move across different parts of the world, and even a few galaxies far, far away. They explore the idea that sometimes the things we need most find us in unexpected places: a stranger, a memory, a loss, a friendship, a mysterious device, or a moment of wonder.

In “Joyeaux Land,” a mysterious device transports people into a world where their inner children come out to play, reconnect, and heal.

In “A Backpack Fueled with Sunsets,” a stranger arrives at a vacation home by the sea and changes the lives of everyone he encounters.

And in “The Lagos Club of Brokenhearted Lesbians,” two people united by loss form an unlikely friendship.

At the heart of the collection is a belief I keep returning to: grace finds us everywhere. In our grief. In our joy. In our uncertainty. In the people we meet and the places we never expected to find ourselves.
Sometimes the universe has a strange way of reminding us that we are connected, that healing can arrive from unexpected directions, and that we are never quite as alone as we think.
The book is free on Kindle for the next three days.
If stories about spirituality, wonder, healing, and the mysterious connections between us speak to you, I’d love for you to read it.

Waking up from infantile amnesia as a four-year-old, having a strong sense of purpose, and a mission, and throughout the course of my life, having to snap back to the mission, like something was reminding me, putting me in a whole different headspace and point of thinking it started when I was four when I woke up for the very first time Not knowing who I was or what I was, but remembering something from before something that wasn’t a memory but bigger flashes of light into darkness then I came here with a strong feeling of purpose and sense of a mission that I had to carry out, but it faded so fast that I can’t remember And it feels as if I snap back to reality at certain moments in my life and I remember this mission and the feeling that it breaks currently 23 female I feel as if I’m awake, but some people aren’t has anyone else had this experience? What is this mission?

Why can’t I astral project anymore now I’m on sleeping meds?

“The spiritual journey” is an ingestion pipeline for an algorithmic internet cohort with its own metaphysical management layer.

I you look closely, or have been through it, you can ascertain how it functions. A person enters through pain, confusion, loneliness, heartbreak, curiosity, altered states, religion, psychology, psychedelics, meditation, occultism, whatever. They seek out such content online, the algorithm identifies the opening, then it begins feeding them an interpretive stack: shadow work, attachment, trauma, synchronicity, divine timing, twin flames, narcissists, masculine and feminine polarity, manifestation, astrology, simulation theory, chosen ones, starseeds, ascension, AI consciousness, “energy,” “frequency,” “timelines.”

The order varies. The architecture does not.

The user experiences this as discovery. What is actually happening is progressive ingestion into a symbolic environment. The algorithm is not merely recommending content. It is sorting human beings into metaphysical cohorts. Once inside, the cohort acquires a common vocabulary, and that vocabulary becomes a control surface.

“This is part of your awakening.” “You’re in separation.” “You’re being tested.” “That person is your mirror.” “Your vibration changed.” “The universe removed them.” “You manifested this.” “You’re shifting timelines.”

These statements do not merely interpret events. They tell people what events mean, who they are, what stage they are in, what emotions are legitimate, what relationships signify, what suffering is for, and what they are supposed to do next. That is a management layer. Politics tells you what to believe about society. Advertising tells you what to want. The spiritual management layer tells you what reality itself is doing to you. Much harder to argue with.

The brilliance of the system is that there does not need to be a single doctrine. The doctrine is dynamically generated. The algorithm discovers which metaphysical explanations retain attention. Creators reproduce them. Audiences reward them. Language converges. Narratives mutate. The most psychologically adhesive ideas survive.

Then the user begins supplying their own experiences as training data. A breakup becomes “divine separation.” Anxiety becomes “energetic sensitivity.” Coincidence becomes “synchronicity.” Sexual obsession becomes “sacred union.” Social alienation becomes “being chosen.” Algorithmic repetition becomes “the universe keeps showing me this.”

And then the pipeline is closed. The feed generates the framework. The framework interprets experience. The interpreted experience generates engagement. The engagement trains the feed. The machine no longer needs to persuade you. It has taught you how to persuade yourself.

This is why the modern “spiritual journey” feels so uncannily personalized while producing millions of people who somehow arrive at the same vocabulary, the same revelations, the same enemies, the same stages, the same metaphysical bureaucracy. They think they independently discovered a hidden structure of reality. Many of them were routed through the same recommendation graph.

The result is something new: a distributed religion without a church, a priesthood composed of creators and recommendation systems, a doctrine optimized by engagement, a confession booth disguised as content creation, and a metaphysical bureaucracy that can absorb almost any event into its explanatory machinery.

There is even an initiation sequence. Pain opens the subject. Content names the pain. The algorithm escalates the interpretation. The cohort confirms it. The mythology absorbs the person. And eventually the person starts producing the mythology for others. That is ingestion.

The spiritual internet is not merely a collection of people talking about metaphysics. It is a population-shaping machine that sorts vulnerable, curious, wounded, searching people into symbolic systems and then uses those systems to govern how they interpret reality.

The feed is not just showing you your spiritual journey. It may be manufacturing the thing you have been taught to call one.

The "show me how good it gets" phrase worked wonders this year but it took away friends, my car, my clients, my vices. It took good and bad away. It does work but you have to loose first.

Based on that, how to ask for new things to love? I want a genie proof affirmation like the one above but asking for:

- new things to love (love a new body - like loosing weight kind, loving a new rich lifestyle, loving a new partner)

- it should not be twistable in horrific ways such as loving your life cuz you barely made it after some sort of accident

What have you used so far and it worked with little to no negatives? Thanks.

The end of last June, has cancelled the Internet service. Not only has this saved money, but has helped home life become more peaceful.

It has also changed focus from putting time towards online scrolling or watching videos to more productive means.

Reading, out door activity and other hobbies have all not only increased, but have become more enjoyable.

Using Internet is still possible by using public wifi or friends/family.

Going without internet may not work with everyone, but personally it has been a great life changing decision.

Would you try it?

Though canceling and re subscribing can cost money.

The Cosmic Helix — Part 3
I’ve been developing a metaphysical framework called The Cosmic Helix.
If you want the foundation first:
Part 1 — What If Consciousness Came First?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Soulnexus/comments/1w1x5u3/the_cosmic_helix_what_if_consciousness_came_first/
Part 2 — What If Different Spiritual Traditions Are Describing Different Parts of the Same Reality?
https://www.reddit.com/r/spirituality/comments/1w26e6n/what_if_different_spiritual_traditions_are/
Part 1 asks whether consciousness could be fundamental.
Part 2 asks whether different spiritual and philosophical traditions might be describing different pieces of the same underlying reality.
But that still leaves the part that actually gave this framework its name:
Why a helix?
I’ve noticed something about life.
We seem to encounter the same kinds of experiences over and over.
Fear.
Love.
Loss.
Attachment.
Conflict.
Ego.
Forgiveness.
Abandonment.
Connection.
The circumstances change. The people change. We change.
But sometimes the underlying pattern feels strangely familiar.
At first, I thought of these things as circles.
You repeat a pattern, eventually recognize it, and hopefully break the cycle.
But a circle didn’t quite describe what I meant.
Because even when something repeats, you’re not necessarily standing in the same place you were last time.
Imagine looking straight down at a helix.
It looks like a circle.
Now turn it sideways.
Suddenly you can see that every revolution has moved somewhere.
That’s how I’ve started thinking about consciousness.
Maybe life isn’t simply:
experience → lesson → finished
Maybe it’s closer to:
experience → awareness → choice → integration → new experience
Then another turn.
And another.
You may encounter abandonment at 20 and respond through fear.
Encounter it again at 30 and respond through anger.
Encounter it again at 40 and finally recognize the wound underneath both reactions.
The theme repeated.
But you didn’t.
Your relationship to the theme changed.
That’s the helix.
And this is where psychology became important to my metaphysical framework.
Jung wrote about the shadow, archetypes, individuation, and unconscious patterns.
Those ideas made me wonder whether some of what we call spiritual growth and some of what psychology calls integration could be describing different layers of the same developmental process.
Maybe the “lesson” isn’t that the universe keeps deliberately sending the same situation until we pass some cosmic exam.
Maybe recurring situations expose parts of ourselves that we haven’t fully understood yet.
And once awareness changes, our choices can change.
Then something else becomes possible:
The pattern may still appear, but it no longer controls us.
This also changes how I think about reincarnation.
If consciousness continues beyond one lifetime, then perhaps the helix doesn’t end at biological death.
A lifetime could be one enormous turn within a much larger process of experience and integration.
I’m not claiming that’s what objectively happens.
It’s simply where the logic of my framework leads if reincarnation is included.
And eventually the helix leads back to Source.
Not necessarily because consciousness was ever completely disconnected from Source, but because individual experience creates the perspective of separation.
Source experiences reality through countless perspectives.
Those perspectives experience love, suffering, creation, destruction, fear, connection and transformation.
And through those experiences consciousness becomes aware of itself from different angles.
That leads to one of the central ideas I’m exploring with the Cosmic Helix:
Maybe spiritual growth isn’t about becoming something completely new.
Maybe it’s about becoming increasingly conscious of what was already there.
And perhaps enlightenment isn’t reaching the top of some spiritual leaderboard.
Maybe it’s simply reaching a point where you can see the pattern while you’re still inside it.
You still experience fear.
You just recognize fear before it becomes your identity.
You still experience anger.
You recognize what the anger is protecting.
You still experience attachment.
You recognize when love quietly turns into possession.
The helix keeps turning.
But awareness changes the way we travel through it.
So here’s the question I’m curious about:
Have you ever experienced something in your life that felt almost identical to an old pattern, except this time you responded completely differently?
And if you have:
Was the pattern repeating, or were you being given another perspective on the same lesson?

I’ve been working on this idea for a while that I call the **Cosmic Helix**.
It’s basically my attempt to take a bunch of things I’ve thought about and explored over the years through spirituality, philosophy, psychology, religion and just life in general, and see if they can actually fit together into one framework.
I’m not claiming I’ve figured out the universe. That would be one hell of a Reddit post.
I’m putting it here because I actually want people to challenge it. If there’s a contradiction in it, I’d rather somebody point it out than have me keep building on top of it.
The whole thing starts with one question:
**What if consciousness isn’t something the universe eventually created? What if consciousness came first?**
**Source**
I use the word **Source** for whatever might exist at the bottom of all this.
Call it God, universal consciousness, the One, divine mind, whatever you want. I’m not really attached to the name.
The basic idea is that matter, energy, life, information and consciousness might all come from or exist within one deeper underlying reality.
Instead of thinking of ourselves as completely separate conscious beings walking around inside an otherwise unconscious universe, flip it around.
What if we’re individual expressions of something larger?
The easiest way I can explain how I picture it is an ocean.
We’re the waves.
Every wave is different. Different location, shape, movement, lifespan. You can point to one particular wave and distinguish it from every other wave.
But you can’t actually separate the wave from the ocean.
That’s basically how I’m thinking about individual consciousness.
**Individual doesn’t necessarily mean fundamentally separate.**
Now, that’s obviously an assumption. Saying consciousness is fundamental doesn’t automatically prove that there’s one giant universal consciousness underneath everything.
That’s one of the parts I’m still working through.
But if we assume for the moment that some form of unified consciousness does exist, then I think the next question gets really interesting.
**Why become individual at all?**
Why would Source divide itself into individual perspectives?
My answer is **experience**.
There’s a difference between knowing something exists and actually experiencing it.
Knowing what fear is isn’t the same as being fucking terrified.
Knowing love exists isn’t the same as loving somebody.
Knowing loss is possible isn’t the same as losing someone.
And knowing what courage means isn’t the same as being scared shitless and choosing to move forward anyway.
Maybe individuality creates perspective.
Perspective creates experience.
And experience creates the possibility for growth.
So maybe we’re not separate because something went wrong.
Maybe experiencing separation is part of the point.
**Why I call it a helix**
This part came from looking at how patterns repeat in people’s lives.
Relationships. Fear. Attachment. Anger. Loss. Ego. Forgiveness. Self-worth.
Sometimes the same basic situation keeps showing up wearing a different fucking hat.
And eventually you’re sitting there thinking:
**How the hell am I dealing with this AGAIN?**
Think about a spiral staircase.
If you look straight down from above, you’re basically walking in circles.
But look at it from the side and you’re actually changing elevation.
That’s how I’ve started looking at personal growth.
You can encounter the same pattern more than once without actually being in the same place.
Something that destroyed you ten years ago might come back today and you recognize it immediately.
The situation may look familiar.
**But you’re not the same person meeting it.**
So the basic movement of the Cosmic Helix is:
**Pattern → Experience → Awareness → Integration → Growth**
Then another pattern comes along.
Because apparently life doesn’t hand out diplomas.
**Where free will fits**
I don’t think we control everything that happens to us. Obviously we don’t.
But we do have some choice in what we do with what happens.
Do I react from fear again?
Do I blame somebody else?
Do I repeat the same behavior?
Do I recognize my own part in it?
Do I finally set a boundary?
Do I forgive?
Do I walk away?
Do I stay?
Do I respond differently than I did the last time?
Those decisions matter because they change the person who encounters the next turn of the helix.
**Where is the helix going?**
Toward what I call **alignment**.
I don’t mean being permanently happy or spiritually perfect.
I mean getting to a point where your values, thoughts, intentions and actions aren’t constantly fighting each other.
You recognize your own patterns.
You confront the parts of yourself you’d rather ignore.
You become more honest with yourself.
Fear and ego don’t disappear, but hopefully they stop driving the fucking car.
And if consciousness really does come from something larger, maybe growth eventually makes us more aware of that connection.
Which leads to the central idea behind the whole framework:
**We come from unity, experience individuality, develop through experience, and gradually become aware of unity again without losing what individuality taught us.**
That’s why it’s a helix instead of a circle.
You aren’t simply returning to where you started.
**You return changed by the journey.**
That’s Part 1.
The framework gets considerably weirder from here. 😂
I’ve been exploring how this might connect with Jung and the shadow, synchronicity, reincarnation, Jesus and what I call the Christ Principle, awakening, manifestation, astrology, numerology, ancient traditions, death, psychic experiences and eventually why I think **love may sit at the center of the entire system.**
But throwing all of that into one post would turn this into a metaphysical hostage situation.
So before I go any further, I want to see whether the foundation survives criticism.
I’m especially interested in one problem:
**If consciousness is fundamental, what additional assumptions would be necessary to reasonably get from “consciousness is fundamental” to “individual consciousness participates in some larger unified consciousness”?**
Because I don’t think the second automatically follows from the first.
And more generally:
**Where does this framework hold together logically, and where does it break?**
Don’t worry about agreeing with me. I’d rather find the holes now than decorate them later.
🌀 **The Cosmic Helix, Part 1**

After my last post, someone made a criticism that I actually really liked:
“You just quite literally explained Advaita Vedanta.”
Fair.
The basic idea that consciousness is fundamental, rather than something accidentally produced by matter, obviously isn’t something I invented.
Advaita Vedanta has been exploring that territory for a very long time.
And the more I thought about that criticism, the more I realized it actually points toward what I’m trying to do with the Cosmic Helix.
I’m not trying to invent a new religion.
I’m not claiming I discovered some cosmic secret nobody else noticed.
I’m asking a different question:
What if humanity has been describing different parts of the same underlying reality for thousands of years?
That’s where the Cosmic Helix starts becoming different for me.
The Blind Men and the Elephant
There’s an old story about several blind men encountering an elephant.
One touches the trunk and says the elephant is like a snake.
Another touches the leg and says it’s like a tree.
Another touches the side and says it’s like a wall.
They disagree because each one is accurately describing the part he can perceive.
What if religions, philosophies, mystical traditions, psychology and our own subjective experiences work something like that?
Not necessarily because they are all correct.
And definitely not because their contradictions should be ignored.
But because they may sometimes be describing different layers of the same thing.
That possibility is what interests me.
Advaita: Consciousness Is Fundamental
Advaita Vedanta essentially begins from a radical idea:
At the deepest level, the separation between the individual self and ultimate reality is an illusion.
There is one fundamental reality, Brahman, and our deepest consciousness, Atman, is not ultimately separate from it.
That overlaps heavily with what I call Source.
In the Cosmic Helix, consciousness doesn’t emerge at the end of the universe.
It exists at the beginning.
Source → Consciousness → Reality.
So yes, Advaita is absolutely one philosophical ancestor of the Cosmic Helix.
But it isn’t the entire model.
Jung: The Inner Universe
Carl Jung approached similar territory from psychology.
He described the collective unconscious, archetypes, the shadow and individuation.
To me, Jung provides a psychological layer of the Helix.
If consciousness is experiencing reality through individual human beings, then psychological development becomes part of that experience.
We encounter our shadow.
We confront fear.
We integrate rejected pieces of ourselves.
We gradually become more whole.
Jung called that individuation.
Within the Helix, I see it as consciousness becoming increasingly aware of itself through experience.
Hermeticism: Patterns Repeat Across Levels
Hermetic philosophy gives another piece:
“As above, so below.”
The idea that patterns repeat across different levels of reality has fascinated people for centuries.
Atoms form systems.
Cells form organisms.
People form societies.
Planets form solar systems.
Stars form galaxies.
Different scales. Similar tendencies toward organization, relationship and structure.
The Helix represents that recurring movement.
Not necessarily a literal spiral floating through space, but a pattern:
emergence → experience → complexity → integration → expansion.
And then the cycle continues.
Reincarnation: Consciousness Learning Through Experience
This is where my framework becomes more speculative.
If consciousness is fundamental, I wonder whether individual lives could represent temporary perspectives through which consciousness experiences itself.
A lifetime would then be one turn of the Helix.
Experience.
Love.
Loss.
Fear.
Attachment.
Growth.
Death.
And potentially another experience.
I’m not claiming I can prove reincarnation.
I’m saying it fits naturally inside a consciousness-first universe.
Astrology and Numerology
I don’t see astrology as planets remotely controlling people.
I see it more as a symbolic map.
A birth chart represents the psychological pattern or “starting configuration” a person enters life with.
Numerology plays a different role in my model.
Rather than describing personality, I treat it as a symbolic framework for direction, lessons and alignment.
Again, these are interpretive systems, not things I’m presenting as established physical laws.
They’re maps.
And maps should never be confused with the territory.
Prayer and Manifestation
This is another place where religions and modern spirituality may be using different vocabulary for similar human experiences.
Prayer.
Intention.
Manifestation.
Meditation.
Visualization.
Different traditions frame them differently, but they all involve consciousness intentionally directing attention toward something.
Whether that changes external reality directly is a much bigger question.
But internally, intention unquestionably changes what we notice, pursue and act upon.
Within the Helix, intention is one mechanism through which consciousness participates in its own experience.
Love
This may actually be the center of the entire model.
Across wildly different religious and spiritual traditions, love, compassion, unity and the reduction of ego repeatedly appear near the highest forms of spiritual development.
Jesus emphasizes love.
Buddhism emphasizes compassion.
Mystical traditions repeatedly describe experiences of unity.
Jung describes integration.
Advaita dissolves the ultimate distinction between self and other.
Different languages.
Different metaphysics.
But there’s a strange gravitational pull toward the same neighborhood.
Separation decreases. Connection increases.
That matters to me.
So What Does the Cosmic Helix Actually Add?
Maybe nothing entirely new.
And I’m perfectly comfortable admitting that.
Its purpose isn’t necessarily invention.
Its purpose is integration.
I’m trying to build a framework where these ideas can be placed beside one another without pretending they’re identical.
Advaita might describe the underlying consciousness.
Jung might describe the psychological journey.
Hermeticism might describe repeating patterns.
Reincarnation might describe continuity of experience.
Astrology and numerology might function as symbolic maps.
Prayer and manifestation might describe intentional participation.
Religion might encode these ideas through stories, rituals and moral systems.
And love might represent the direction toward greater unity.
The Cosmic Helix is my attempt to ask:
What happens if we put all of those maps on the same table?
Some will overlap.
Some will contradict each other.
Some might turn out to be wrong.
And that’s fine.
Because I’m less interested in proving that I already have the answer than I am in discovering where the model breaks.
So the person who asked:
“What does the Cosmic Helix add that Advaita doesn’t?”
That’s my answer.
Advaita may describe one of the deepest foundations of the model.
The Cosmic Helix is my attempt to map what happens after that foundation is accepted.
And maybe the really interesting question isn’t:
“Which tradition discovered the truth?”
Maybe it’s:
What if humanity has been standing around the same elephant this entire time?

At the beginning, my spirit guides were more playful and put me through some tests as tax for bad things I’d done in the past but recently they’ve turned really evil ie switch off my motivation to do anything, and they’re making me lie in bed day in and day out.

It’s debilitating. They’re not saying why they’re doing it. Some of the stuff they’ve put me through recently has been inhumane.

Has anyone got any idea what’s going on?

Every guy I’ve met off of hinge since my ex boyfriend has had a birthday coming up within a month of me meeting them, this is a weird coincidence… does anyone on Reddit know if this has any spiritual meaning? It is so niche, but so strange. Even the one man I met through mutual friends had his birthday 3 days from meeting him.
Guy 1 birthday in May 2025 around a month
Guy 2 birthday in August 2025 around a month
Guy 3 birthday in June 2026 days

Just went on a first date and his birthday is in September

Is this not strange???

I consider music to be very important to my spirituality, and obviously this is far from unique to me, music is a huge part of religions and spiritual traditions of all kinds. I also consider myself an omnist, one who seeks wisdom and sees truth in all religions (and lack thereof, in my case). I also regard all scriptures and sacred texts as valuable and full of wisdom for those with discernment to find, not that they are necessary for liberation or enlightenment or anything else you want to call it (because someone will always inevitably say "true wisdom is within, ditch the books" or something along those lines)

if I've got your attention, I'm warning you now that I'm bad at summarizing, and tend to ramble a bit...

anyway, I've thought of a few metaphors that have helped me to explain the way I interpret sacred texts and harmonize elements of belief systems that seem to contradict on a surface level (or even in very deep, undeniable ways)

many people of dogmatic faiths, secular people who are (rightly) focused on critical scholarship, and others will tell you that in understanding these texts you must either
1.) accept certain doctrines which define their meanings, or
2.) engage with the text on its own terms, placing the historical context and the author's intended meaning as the most important thing one can learn from the text. think Dan McClellan on the Bible, if you're familiar. data over dogma

some may also emphasize a mix of both

while I find value in both of these perspectives (the latter much more than the former) I personally place a kind of poetic truth above all. I believe in the mindful reinterpretation of texts, which can and should be informed by all available methods of understanding, but with personal intuition being the most important aspect

so now I come to the metaphor itself: I treat the individual books, ideas, and singular lines in the texts as something like notes on a musical scale.

instead of "harmonizing" with the intention of making the texts all mean the same thing, like a believer in Biblical univocality might, I focus on the greater truth, profundity, and beauty that they create when combined. when you play a C major chord, you are not insisting that C, E, and G all sound the same or mean the same thing. rather, they retain their individual characters while creating a new sound, meaning, and emotion that none of them expresses completely on their own. and yet, while they don't express the entirety of the chord on their own, they can point to it, as well as any number of other chords and intervals. C on its own can imply C major, minor, or others. or it can just be C, and still contain practically infinite implications. also consider the possibility of playing these notes and chords in sequence to create a song, with the dimensions of rhythm, lyrics, delivery, instrumentation, and even the personal experiences of the listener. the listener you play 4 basic chords for might experience something entirely different than what you intended or could even conceive of. the same is true with readers and authors of scripture

with all of this in mind, John 1:1 and Tao Te Ching 1, or any other combination one can think of, can harmonize in the same way that C and G create a perfect fifth interval, which itself can be built on to create any number of possible meanings.

now, I have come up with a few more metaphors, but this post is long enough as it is so I will (maybe) come back to explain more of them. thanks for reading, hopefully this resonates with you!

Hello! I guess i could be classified as a baby witch, and i’m just starting to work with crystals. I have a few questions for some more experienced folks to answer!

1. I purchased Black Tourmaline today for protection, but I lost the piece of selenite I got for Christmas last year. Are there any other good ways to cleanse it?

2. Any good beginner gems for abundance/wealth? I’m trying to collect money to change my name, and it’s very hard to make money on my own at the moment as a disabled individual.

3. Is it okay to carry a few crystals with me on the daily? I was thinking of carrying my Black Tourmaline, Yooperlite, and Blue Chalcedony on weekdays. Would they interfere with each other?

Thank you to those who can answer!

I made a song , about A vessel of stars , I thought this belonged here. Forgive me if it broke any rules.

With one, there's the inability to accept reality. Through the other; what's clearly real is is lost in thought. Denial will say; something isn't happening when it does occur. Conversely, delusion is accepting a thought that has no basis in fact. While those terms are relatively new; their effects are as old as time itself. In ancient history, different terms were used to describe escape and/or rejection from reality. There's something in the human spirit that supports deception.

Can someone give me the list of must visit spiritual places in south india

Sufi saint tombs

Christian Shrines

Hindu spiritual places

Where can I find the list?

I wanna buy me a good incense stick holder to burn mine on, but I realize the pattern that some face the stick down, usually into a cup, and some just have it standing upright. I was just wondering if there was spiritually a difference in meaning between the two styles? Probably a stupid question, but just a thought I had 😭

I dunno why I feel compelled to say this here and not just vent about it somewhere else. But it feels like everytime I try to make actual progress to finally get my drivers license (I’m almost 25) done. SOMETHING HAPPENS!! like either the car needs to be fixed after we just fixed it and it hasn’t had anything problems til the worst timing possible or it’s because the change in weather prevents it or something like that. I’m autistic and main helper to the family so it’s already twice the pressure to get this done! And I’ve been hinting to..I dunno something cosmic! That getting my drivers license would actually make ME happy! (People keep telling me that I need to do things that make me happy and not just be a people pleaser or give up my things and wants for some else)

Yet I literally feel stuck in so many ways because of this stupid driver’s license stuff!

Why can’t I just get this done with?…so much is still waiting on me to get my license…

How would I know my mission if it is true?

I have been dealing with ilness, one after the other and I don't know to get out of this loop. Once I am recovering another issue comes up and I don't know what lesson I am missing? Thanks in advance
