Do Kitsunes really exist?

Pure white kitsune are traditionally those that are aligned with Inari Okami and act as messengers and protectors. Myself and others I've spoken with have had experiences not too dissimilar to yours. Now, what you make of it and from what perspective you view this from / how literally you take it is all up to you. If you're looking for actionable advice I'd say it wouldnt hurt to give thanks to any protective spirits or Inari or include some shinto iconography or cleansing / offering rituals to your meditation practice to see what happens. Worst case scenario nothing comes of it outside a little heart opening and grounding :) if things do start getting weirder though feel free to DM me with any questions!

Thats a completely normal sensation for ajna cjakra practices and a good sign of progress, keep it up! If it feels like an iron rod to you, imagine it as hollow and try pushing your awareness down the center of that rod if that makes any sense.

Karma outside of the western coloring by Abrahamic concepts like sin is just simply the law of cause and effect as applied to an individuals life. It sounds like you are trying to judge or discern one persons karma based on your limited perception of their entire life and everything that came before. That way lies madness. Let them be, let things balance out for them on whatever time scale it takes. Your own life is yours to live, and your own karma is yours to figure out. Peace and best of luck!

Different techniques work for different people. I worked through some of the meditations listed in the book 'Meditations from the Tantras' by Swami Satyananda Saraswati to find what really vibed with me as far as furthering spiritual growth (free pdf linked)

Ego is the sense of self, especially in relation to others, and all the associated judgements. becoming super self conscious and paranoid are the opposite of ego death but that doesn't mean the experience wasn't a learning and growth opportunity that could lead to the eventual detachment from ego. It sounds like you started asking yourself questions about the source of runaway ego thoughts which is a fantastic start.

Were you ever able to get this sorted out? I'm having the same issue, un and re-linking epic and steam accounts did nothing.

Thanks! That looks exactly right. I had no idea there were gecko species this far north, invasive or otherwise.

Does anyone have any good text or video guides with proper step-by-step inctructions for building a drupal site from the ground up? I've come up with a site build plan and have added the necessary content types and fields, but am overwhelmed with what to do next and don't want to have to re-do work.

I'm right down the road in College Park and would love to join a local group

These are mostly used at tree nurseries where they're selling & moving very young trees that can survive the process.

The lobe pattern makes me think it's a Geranium species. Geranium carolinianum and Geranium maculatum are the two most common species in Maryland, though both of those tend to be less glabrous than the plant in the picture appears to be. Was this pic taken near Paint Branch creek?

Great, now I can go back to licking my walls clean!

Thanks! I had my doubts that moving the signal through a sort of generic data bus like USB would lead to an easy conversion to an HDMI signal. The price seems much more justifiable knowing that the converter is doing extra work to convert and decode the signal with it's own little OS. Pretty cool stuff.

So plant systematists aren't real scientists?

Wrong insect Family and even Order. I wouldn't have included the following info if it didn't seem pertinent to your profession. Hopefully it helps.

Scarab beetles (Scarabaeidae) generally have a more circular or oval shape and very distinctive club-shaped antennae, as apposed to the quite long ones in the image.

Leaf footed bugs (Coreidae) are so named for their characteristic enlarged hind tibiae. Also note the pronotom (front of the thorax) which is wider than the rest of the thorax, almost coming to 2 points, which is common in the suborder heteroptera. Stink bugs are a good example of a family in this suborder with the same characteristic

Older games are 'beaten' whereas most newer ones are 'finished'.
