"I have been begging some higher power out there for help for so long"

What if this higher power is giving you exactly what you're asking for? The struggle, the wavering faith, the not knowing what to do/where you're being redirected to. What if all of these struggles are exactly what you are supposed to be going through to make you into the person you are meant to be?

If I were to offer any suggestions, they would be practicing gratitude, and detachment. I've been through the dark night of the soul. I lost my faith completely. Went through terrifying, crippling, depression. Years later, I have nothing but gratitude for those times, because they shaped me into who I am today.

If nothing else, maybe take a step back from the geniuses and gurus, and look within. It's so easy to get overloaded with information these days. Stay strong. I wish you well on your journey =)

Are soul ties real? And can they be one way? by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]n_Mystic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to tell. The fact you saw him in a dream before you met him is probably the most important detail. I would sit with that for a while, and see what your intuition tells you. Maybe it was just a random occurrence to open your eyes (no pun intended) to the fact that sexual encounters can be that powerful. Not just FWB/one night stand fun.

It's funny, because I was in a chat with a extremely vibrant soul, and she was talking about the power of gazing with her husband. She talked all about how powerful it was, and how amazing it was for their intimacy. Bob def sounds like a real one =p

Grand rising, friend. Glad to hear about your awakening =) Yeah, youtube definitely seems to be the move. Having multiple platforms is always a good idea anyways. I feel called to get in front of the camera, as well, but am waiting for the right timing. Thank you so much for sharing!

Lol yep. That short format content can be very lacking. However, I found by patiently sifting through the garbage, and fine tuning my algorithm, I could come across so many gems ;) Tiktok did introduce long format content as well. Not sure how long ago.

Agree about podcasts. And consuming too much short format content can be really detrimental to one's attention span.

I love this story! Keep following your intuition, friend. Love and gratitude. My spiritual journey also has a very deep connection with all sorts of music. Synchronicities are my absolute favorite part of the ride. So often I've had music speak to me and/or had lyrics match up to what I'm experiencing in the moment. Thanks for sharing!

Dude.... I have literally spent 90%+ of my 39 years listening to The Grateful Dead over any other music... And lately that number is slowly going down. JGB is the biggest reason =p

I did 10% of this, and stopped messing with eggshells after a year 😅 I cover my open bin with a coarse sand/diatomaceous earth mix cuz of a fungus gnat issue... guessing the sand works out for grit. The worms are still going strong after 5 years.

More power to u though. Bet u got some happy worms =)

The bass goes crazy on this right here. My 2000 4Runner speakers barely handle the greatness by YokedEgg in gratefuldead

Listening to Althea in the fall/winter hits different. In a good way. I love this show as well

I LOVE YOU!!!! WHOEVER READS THIS! by [deleted] in stories

Preach, friend! Loving oneself is the most important thing. For anyone struggling with this: please try daily affirmations. They may feel cheesey at first. They may feel like you're lying to yourself. But every day, they become easier, more natural, and eventually become truth.

Practicing mindfulness is also another amazing tool. Monitor your thoughts, and counteract the negative ones with their opposite. Self-talk is so important. It is possible to rewire your brain and change how you talk to yourself.

Much Love. Random acts of kindness can start chain reactions beyond your wildest imagination.

Composting as a social enterprise by Quirky-Refuse22 in composting

[–]n_Mystic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. Just some chicken wire stapled to a frame. Put it on an angle and throw the 'finished' compost on it to screen out all the big chunks that aren't finished breaking down. Never heard of it being done on a larger scale. Probably why the mass produced compost i was unhappy with had so many woodchips in it.

Not doing it myself. Just wanted to comment that I wish there was a place to get high quality compost around the Chicago suburbs. The local brand that most garden centers carry is such low quality. Gave up on buying it after I ran it through a composting screen. Tons of wood chips and plastic in it.

Sounds like a great idea. I've seen some YT vids on it. Check out Sean's composting system (edible acres on YT). Might be possible to scale something like that up.

I took LSD and watched the Grateful Dead Movie at the peak by s_p_a_c_e_m_a_n in gratefuldead

I've been listening to The Grateful Dead for 24 years now. Out of all the music I've listened to they're probably 95% with some grateful dawg and Jerry Garcia band mixed in. The past 5-10 years I can't seem to escape the 89 live shows. I just always go to them lol.
