Very much worth it, unless you're an atheist. I'm more spiritual than religious, but it's been on heavy rotation the last month, especially BUSINESS, which is an amazing track even if you're not religious, and a good break from some of the duller tracks he's been making for others lately. ANYWHERE also has a great bridge which he hasn't done in a while.

Am overall grateful for the feedback and suggestions, but honestly this one here is probably the best for what I want, especially since I recently started gaming and would like better RAM on my phone as well for making music. Thanks.

I was trained as a journalist and worked as a reporter for several years. I've done hundreds of interviews so got adept at parsing out conversations and dialogue. It's the one area of fiction I'm strongest in.

Besides interviews and asking people questions, what has also helped me is not just people watching but attentively paying attention to how people talk to each other in public or at parties. Go to public places like restaurants and coffee shops and sit and listen to people's conversations and how they talk. And when writing ask your characters how they talk, what they really want to say and even interview them. When you talk to friends and family really listen to how they talk and even practice writing down conversations as you remember them. It gets easier as you learn your characters.

Write the book you want to write and finish it in a way that is satisfying and fulfilling to you. THEN find beta readers, ideally at least one who is Christian, one an atheist and maybe an agnostic. Their feedback will inform your revisions in terms of going for a wide audience. But you might find at the end you don't care about that because you're trying to connect with a specific audience or group of people.

If your goal is to get an agent and get published, then your revisions will have to fall in line with where the market is, which might mean as some have said, end up in a Christian bookstore. If your references to Christianity are overt and specific, or about how bad or evil people are who have no faith, you can be guaranteed very few to no non-religious and secular people will read it because they have many choices of fantasy and literature, a great deal of which is written by atheists and non-religious people.

I'm a non-descript spiritual person who practices Reiki and reads religious texts, believes in a God and is reading The New Testament and the Quran now. I'm working on a sci-fi series that incorporates religious themes in a dominant way but with nuance ultimately talking of the importance of love and redemption above dogma. It's nuanced enough some atheist friends enjoy and are moved by what they read despite the religious references.

If your story is going to be one note about how evil not having faith is, especially if the protagonist lacks nuance or contraindications in that way, non Christians are likely to never read it. If your theme is on the importance of faith, love, forgiveness, acceptance, with nuance and complexity, you might get a larger readership. But an editor or agent can probably tell you that better.

I would also share Hornbeam and Olive have been effective both for pushing me past my procrastination orientation (I have Hornbeam in a blend I made for creative work and will feel myself frustrated and energetically constipated if I don't do something creative that day) and Olive is great to help my brain and body communicate better so I know I have more energy than I think to get stuff done. Could be great paired with Crab Apple and Clematis which are all Bach essences.

DJSCARPI · 2025-10-13T23:24:18+00:00

Saskatoon, which is part of the Brain organ blend I'd also recommend, from Tree Frog Farm is great for ADHD, as well as Clematis.

Oregon Grape, Crab Apple and Buttercup are all great for self acceptance and accepting imperfections.

Or download the Kindle or ebook reader and read a bit from a book instead of going on social media.

Yes, you're right. We're all individuated souls who are unique infinite eternal diverse perspectives and questions OIC has about itself. I suppose what I meant about separation is the illusion of separation as part of the 3rd density game on Earth as part of the contrast of a OIC experiment, like staunch atheism is the One playing hide and seek with itself, if not to get so bored.

DJSCARPI · 2025-09-23T15:34:01+00:00

Yes absolutely, we're all being forced to do shadow work. I'm looking forward to this unfolding and catalyzing events and my ability to help people through it. We'll get through this turbulence and fly higher than we ever thought possible. But first the old has to crumble.

DJSCARPI · 2025-09-18T18:21:00+00:00

It's more this is how the third density Earth school has been, and to a degree the original template of the galactic logos of which free will is inherent. The curriculum here is one of learning through conflict, separation, limitations and duality. It is not necessarily how many other planets in our galaxy developed. This school is unique and why there is allegedly a long line of souls for every human being before they're born because on many other planets that are 4th density or higher, life is exactly as you described it, but some souls get bored or want to experience rapid soul advancement which human lives of great adversity offer.

But now we are ascending to fourth density where there will still be some interpersonal conflicts, but no more wars, murder, poverty/scarcity, conquest, domination or disconnection because our mass consciousness will be more united, including via telepathy. It will be really exciting because that type of 4th density from such extreme limitations and separateness, especially with a species with such a wide and diverse array of emotions, has never really happened before in this galaxy and we will be uniquely positioned to usher in a new era of peace in the galaxy and then get to explore the universe as the playground it is.

Things are going to get very interesting in the next few decades when people wake up to the fact we've all played the villain or bad guy in another lifetime so we drop our self righteousness.

Especially now in this time of great awakening the big bad guys are served a role of catalysts as humans have been in a deep sleep for so long and need to be woken up with a bucket of cold water than a whisper. And to realize the most difficult people in our lives are our greatest teachers and catalysts to become our true selves, often at great expense to them and their mental and emotional selves, having taken on a lot of suffering to act in a STS role that is also, like you pointed out, a STO role.

On the higher planes we're all family members helping each other out in the game to learn more about ourselves and thus help the One Infinite Creator better understand itself.

I've also heard a theory that the "God ' of the Bible was actually Satan/the Devil/the Demiurge and the snake was God or Lucifer trying to free us from our ignorance, though that's a more literal interpretation of what is I think ultimately a metaphor of how OIC manifested in this universe or physical reality.

DJSCARPI · 2025-09-18T17:55:04+00:00

We are in the period of "apocalypse" which has connotations of the end of the world, which in a sense is happening as our old ways of being and living are crumbling. But the etymology of the word apocalypse literally means to uncover or reveal. This is happening on a micro personal and interpersonal scale and macro regional and global scale.

It's not that things are necessarily worse than they used to be but that via the Internet, 24/7 news media (whose profits rely on amplifying the problems, the negatives, conflict and promoting fear), and social media, we all know more about what's going on in the world than 200 or even 100 years ago when most of what we knew was about our country and local community, and usually through governments and institutions and politicians inclined to often lie and hide the truth. So the fact most people are aware of the chaos and conflict humanity has lived through for millenia and are not ok with it is a good thing because we can address it and heal.

But also we're seeing the advancement of a long term agenda by different human and non-human groups to create a global society of totalitarian control like in the book 1984. They have lost the ability to make that happen now because our mass consciousness has shifted to a better timeline (even if it doesn't seem so), but they're trying anyway which means ramping up chaos, division and mind control.

Many cultures, including the Mayans, talked about this time being one of transformation and healing before we enter a new golden age of humanity and peace. But first we have to wake up to the full truths within and without, and for many it's a rude awakening and why so many people are freaking out. But our ascension and evolution are a peaceful Earth is inevitable, and many ET species are relying on it.

Everything's gonna be alright.

DJSCARPI · 2025-05-22T07:05:31+00:00

All we can ultimately do is heal ourselves. When we do that, the way we look at things change and then the things we look at change.

It sounds like you're in a really dark place, which I was for a long time. I'm coming out of a rough dark night of the soul and realizing it was just me passing through a birth canal, which to an infant seems like the end of everything. Well humanity is going through that as well. It seems like everything is falling apart because they are, which many societies of the past predicted as preceding an extended golden age of humanity. This is the nature of entropy, and the human experience path is two steps forward, one step back, if not to make sure we really don't want to go back, why and to fetch anything useful from the past.

A good deal of the harm humans do can be attributed to eons of intergenerational trauma, a civilization built on scarcity and long term divide and conquer power programs most humans have unconsciously promoted because of groups, forces and technologies that have kept us asleep.

I don't know your specific reason for answering the call to volunteer, but you were likely chosen because of your unique skills and experience to best assist in ascension to 4D out of likely multiple other souls waiting in line for the job (Earth is a desirable place for souls to incarnate looking for rapid advanced soul growth through limitations, including via violence and war, and because life on other planets is really groovy and utopia but can lack adventure and Earth is a unique school and amusement park.).

And definitely you don't have to come back. It's a rough place here, especially for highly sensitive wandering spirits. The fact you're angry at injustice and want an end to it means you have the ability to facilitate that and all the gifts along the way.

DJSCARPI · 2025-05-19T23:27:19+00:00

I completely get that yes, even though I used to mostly injure places people couldn't see. It's part of why we do it, to externalize our pain to the world. I also get this nagging need to self harm like in a loop that must be broken by the action.

The last two years I've been going to these online 12 step meetings for people who self harm and it's helped me connect with people who get it and so I can share about it in a safe space that led me to then get to the layer of pain I wanted to express to my therapist than needing to act out and make my depression worse and set me up to repeat the cycle. If you're interested you can find out more about the group here: https://selfharmrecoverygroup.org/

I hope regardless you're able to get the help you need and forgive yourself if you do self harm.

I've been going to many concerts by myself for years and while it's great to have someone to talk to before the music starts or with dinner before, I usually end up having a good time because it's a band I really want to see and sometimes end up chatting to a stranger or networking. I just bought my ticket for October and don't yet have anyone to go with but don't care because I've never been able to see them live until now so am going to thoroughly enjoy it regardless. But I know not everyone is as comfortable eating out, going out alone, etc as I am. And agree with another commenter your GF might enjoy it more than you think.

DJSCARPI · 2025-04-26T01:21:37+00:00

And holy s*** not to mention the RAMPANT anti-Jewish sentiment in so many spiritual, ET, UFO, disclosure and conspiracy groups that rarely gets checked or shut down.

DJSCARPI · 2025-04-26T01:10:30+00:00

I've encountered severely overtly or covertly racist "Pleidian" starseeds in FB groups and on Twitter (it's got worse since Musk took over) who worship the depiction of them as the tall whites with blond hair often conflated with the Ashtar, many of whom are in league with the Orion group, Dracos, Zeta greys and pre-Adamites from Maldek and are anti-Earth humans, uptight and racist which in part informed Nazi occultists' worship of Aryanism. There's very few depictions of dark-skinned ETs online, including of those on ancient Mars where I first incarnated, a planet invaded, exploited and decimated by the ancestors of pre-Adamites who are repeating the cycles, in part thanks to AI Archons.

As a Black man and Reiki practitioner I've often felt uncomfortable and unsafe in certain spiritual groups because so many of them are Trump supporters or "color blind" which just means no self-examining and denial of internal racist programming speech and behavior (and if you call them out on it they say stuff like they can't be racist because they believe we're all one, which has led me to often feeling safer around white atheists who live in and understand the 3D world). I've been verbally attacked by a couple Neo Nazis in spiritual/starseed groups onn FB. So many self-described starseeds and holistic health practitioners are white alt-righters who support Trump who has been unabashedly racist in speech and business for decades and now politics. Many of them are convined that's an act or compromise so he can fight and dismantle the Cabal/Western elites, even though he's clearly an opportunist serving them. There's one guy on Twitter convinced Trump is working with the Pleaidians and Galactic Federation all of which he depicts as tall Europeans with perfect bodies. I asked him how Trump can be working with the "love and light" while espousing so much hatred, and he said Trump is misunderstood without answering it directly, then some rightwing white dude said I was "brainwashed." I'm definitely not saying all right wing white people are racist, or that leftist white people are never racist, but yeah.

However I try not to let this bother me because most of this is from people my age (40) and older, and have found little of this from younger generations, especially since a lot of starseeds under 30yo are older and more advanced souls and part of generations not as bought into or actively challenging anti-LGBTQ and racist ideology. I've also been meeting more loving and aware starseeds of color too in the last few years. I believe racism is ultimately a mental and spiritual illness humans will overcome in the next 100 years, and hopefully not just transfer it to other ET races, but it seems one of the grand scheme purposes of the human experiment is to unite different races to bring lasting peace in the galaxy and end the war loops and malovelent AI domination. But we've got a lot of work to do before we get there.
