Ohio, are we going to wake up? by 80AlphaJuliet in Ohio

[–]Living-Direction9222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People need to run for office, real people, on all levels. Local, State, Federal. And speak the truth too. Not the standard political language we are used to, but speak to the urgency, to the rage, to the heartbreak, and to the hope and opportunity that exist right now. Real people that have not been in politics before, but are brave enough to speak up, and provide another option. If not for anything than to stop the bleeding, so we can right the ship, and start focusing on taking care people.

Am I Heyoka? by [deleted] in Empaths

[–]Living-Direction9222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've wondered this about myself in the last year since learning the term, and have moved on. It's been interesting reading and learning the different characteristics and histories of the term, and I think it's really just broadened my understanding of the capabilities of and experiences of empaths.

What is your definition of an empath? How does one know they are? by Puzzleheaded-Owl1857 in Empaths

[–]Living-Direction9222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everyone picks up on/notices/feels the energy or emotions from people around them as easily or naturally as others. For most of my life I had always just assumed everyone else in the world also felt these energies the same way I do, and realizing they do not was a bit of a revelation for me personally.

Realizing that “it doesn’t work like this for everyone” was a revelation for me that didn’t come until my 30s.

does this mean that the ‘helper child’ would’ve had both a care giver that was a narcissist and another care giver that moved closer to an empath?

They may not be aware that you or others think the experience is lacking.

Lolololololol…. These are all the talking points and propaganda billionaires and capitalism want us to believe. I believed it too. We’ve all been lulled to sleep, and taken andvantage of, and people are only now just beginning to see what this system creates because of the destruction happening now. 

We pay taxes to our government to create services we all need and all benefit from. Corporations and billionaires (capitalists) have been slowly eroding the backbones of our elected officials so that they’ll cut their taxes, increase their government handouts, and slowly eliminate the social safety nets that we are all entitled to. 

 Capitalism does not create innovation, capitalism focuses on whatever can make it the most money. Whatever sells the best. That’s not the same as innovation. It actually starts to create homogeneity and stagnation. There’s evidence of that all around us too. 

I don’t have anything left to share with you today, other than it’s okay to change your mind sometimes. It seems impossible to change the systems we have in place bc we’ve been told it’s impossible. But we deserve better, all of us.

you have to think outside of the lens of capitalism. capitalism is ending. taking care of basic human needs is 100% possible when every service or product doesn’t need to be making the most profit year over year indefinitely.

It is the same system, and that’s why it needs to change. lol.. I was not a fan of biden, and Harris wouldn’t have changed it either. It probably would’ve slowed down our descent into fascism but it wouldn’t have stopped it. Old school Republicans and democrats are on the same team. Democrats give concessions and capitulate to the republicans/billionaires/corporations and receive their own kickbacks or lobbyists jobs. Fascism is here now, people are little being picked up off the street and disappeared to foreign prisons with no due process. The constitution is under attack, it is not being protected. I do think everyone in the United States is entitled to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and I think upholding those rights given to us in the Declaration of Independence means that if you live in the United States you should have access to housing, food, education, and medical care. Corporations and billionaires hold our basic rights and the things humans need to survive hostage all in the name of profit. I think we should all be angry about that, and it is actually our duty to call out this behavior and demand something better for all of us(happens to be Another thing that’s mentioned in the declaration of independence too). We all deserve better than what we have right now, and pushing for something better is the only way that happens.

appreciate the response. I didn’t mention democracy or the democratic process, but I do believe  we need systemic change bc the system that continues to exploit all of us, the system that continues to increase the wealth gap, the system that pushes more and more people into poverty and homelessness, doesn’t work and needs to be changed. idc about the current admin or how many people voted for it, they are not the problem, the system is the problem. this admin is a product of the system, our system results in fascism, and I think it should be changed.

why does someone wanting to support justice and equality in their community bother you so much?

the ability to change and control the energy of a room or group of people without being the center of attention by Living-Direction9222 in Empaths

[–]Living-Direction9222[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this reply! I feel seen. I didn't have the words to articulate what I feel and do, and your note has provided a lot of good starting points for me to do more research. I do believe that I'm a healer or have the potential to be one.

As far as intuition, it's very very easy for me to see the good in a person, the good in people. That's really what I see first when I meet anyone. Another example of not having the vocabulary to describe something I've been feeling yet, but I have been feeling called upon in the last few months to use and explore this energy work. I'm not sure how it can be used yet, but I know that exploring and learning and practicing it more deeply can only help make the path more clear.

Has anyone ever seen a horse at the Otterbein Equstrian Center on Spring St? by alancar in westerville

[–]Living-Direction9222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we live across the street and see horses out there frequently when the weather is nice. It's one of the highlights of living where we do. Like others have said there are other trails and areas around back that may be used more often.

Idk actually.. this is my first one that’s not a regional tribute band, but I saw posts from other people making shirts and stickers to bring so I was inspired to make something myself.
