1. Precious Beloveds!

May I Hold Your Beautiful Being For A Moment?  May I Softly Brush Away Any Tears That Fall From Your Eyes? May I Kiss Your Scars And Tell You Softly That One Day Soon, You Will Not See A Scar, But Instead, A Beautiful Star!

1. Beloved Friends!

These Moments Are Indeed Unfolding As Your Perception Of Reality.  But What Is Reality If Perceptions Change Within You And Within Others Continually?  The Truth Is This. Reality Is God.

1. Precious Beloved Ones!

Since My Creation In ELOHIM, I View Life From A Tender, Compassionate Way. Although I Am Also A Light Warrior, My Essence As A Goddess Is Pure Love. I Learned Millions Of Years Ago That Love Was My Only Power.

2. I Experienced Fear And Did Not Enjoy Ventures Without Family.

A Moment Came When I Chose To Leave Taygeta Alone And Venture Out With All I Had Learned. There Is Nothing I Have Not Seen. My Mate IKAI And My Four Sons That You Have Come To Know Well,

3. Watched Me From A Distance As I Created Light Swords And Managed To Take Apart Many Evil Beings That Meant To Harm Me. With Each Trial, I Lost Fear Until I Became Fearless.

When I Tell You To Create White Light Around You, Believe Me, It Is Done!

4. You Are Not Able To See What You Create With Human Eyes, But It Is There! Creation Is One Of Your Gifts. Use It Wisely.

I Always Return To Love And I No Longer Battle With The Non-Physical Or Other Beings.

5. All Know Who I Am Now But Because Of The Duality That Remains In The Multiverses, I Remind You That You Wrestle Not Against Flesh And Blood.

You Are Living In Spiritual Warfare! Everything You Have Learned Has Prepared You For This!

1. Greetings Indeed!

I So Much Enjoy These Communications With Such Lovely Beings Of Light! As Many Trust The Process Of Change And Exposure, The Darkness Would Have You To Constrict And Doubt The Validity Of Your Own Truth!

2. Indeed, You Would Think These Flying Monkeys Would Settle Down And Take A Seat, But Their Schemes Will Work Against Them. What Goes Around, Comes Around!

Now, Beloved Ones, Let Us Get Serious For A Moment!  Can You Say, 'FREEDOM?'

3. Breathe Deeply! There Are Aspects Of Living That You Can't Be Without To Exist In Body Form! The Obvious Ones Being, Water, Nourishment, Air To Breathe And All Elements That Constitute Your Body!

4. But Living In The Body Without FREEDOM Would Discount All You Planned. You Would Feel Imprisoned In Your Own Mind And Body! Indeed, The Waking Dream Would Become So Altered That Confusion And Disbelief Would Visit You Often!

5. Realizing That There Are Clones And Puppets Entering Government At A Momentum That Would Remind You Of A Bad Sci-Fi Movie, Should Encourage You To Make A Few Phone Calls And Demand To Be Heard! Each Of You Has The Capacity To Find The Numbers!

1. Friends Of The Great Planet Earth!

Everything You Seek Is Already Within You!  Each Waking Dream Has False Teachings That  Say There Is A Special Place 'Out There' In The Skies Where People Go That Follow A Certain Doctrine.

2. And Those Same Teachers Explain There Is A Place Of Torment For Others That Arrived On A Different Part Of The Planet And Were Taught A Different Doctrine.

There Is ONE Creator That Has Been Named By Many. It Would Be Loving To Honor And Respect Another's Beliefs,

3. As In Truth, Many Have Lived In Multiple Cultures With Many Beliefs That Now Are Judged! Incarnating Over And Over Is The Joy Of The Soul Experiencing Life! The Soul Fully Understands This Is A Human Experience.

4. Wouldn't It Be Much More Relaxing And Fun To Allow Others Their Freedom, Just As You Want Yours?  Yes Indeed!  Relax And Flow!

Since The Very Beginning Of Your Self-Awareness As An Incarnate Being, You Have Probed Your World For Clues To The Meaning Of Your Existence.

5. You Have Looked In Every Conceivable Crevice And Pondered The Vastness Of The Infinite Cosmos. You Have Scrutinized The Spiritual Wisdom That Was Forthcoming From Those Who Believed Themselves To Be Knowledgeable About Such Matters.

We Speak Words Of Peace And Unity Continually, But Do You Realize We Could Soon Be Cut Off From Communication On This Forum For Speaking Truth?  Indeed, We Honor The Planet And The Free Will As An Incarnated Soul Arriving To Explore Life In Many Ways!

If you have less revenue/growth/success than you wish you had, then the best thing you can do is OWN IT.

Write a tweet, tell your friends, and move on.

Once you own it, you fix it.

99% of people on Twitter/social media/internet won't do this.

Being radically transparent and honest is a competitive (and life) advantage.

From @RayDalio's Principles:

My new product has 14 users and <$400 monthly revenue. I've spent the last 4 months on it.

I'm going through a lot of pain to validate and grow it.

But if anyone asks me how it's going I will tell them exactly that.

If I asked them, I would hope they would give me the raw truth as well. Truth builds trust.

I think that goes for your internet audience as well. Authenticity is attractive.

I see this with @starter_story all the time - people don't want to share their revenue yet because they don't have any, or it's not high enough (not all cases but often).

I wish I could tell them that getting the cat out of the bag would actually fix the problem itself!!

Years ago I would troll CrossFit/Planet Fitness until I got bored with it and created the “Car Rage” guy. People would say, stop screaming in your car and go back to trolling CrossFit. I didn’t listen.

After screaming in my car for 3 years I started doing other shit......

.... like MeatHead Minutes, Hater Dance Videos, Macho Man impersonations, Podcasting, exposing the hypocrisy of BLM, doing Live Streams nightly on YouTube, etc. People would say, stop doing this other shit and go back to screaming in your car. I didn’t listen....

.... my FB page has grown over 176k new followers since my first George Floyd video in June and all I really post about is current event shit. I posted a “Car Rage” video yesterday and people are saying, stop screaming in your car and go back to talking about politics......

.... moral of this cool story bro is the BEST thing I ever did, is not listen to what anyone told me to do. Be you.

Convo between @tferriss & @naval on modern loneliness:

Naval: In India there's this concept of the extended family where you basically live with your tribe at all times, so when we were young, at our grandmother's place with my aunts, my uncles, my cousins, my grandparents,

everyone was there, and it was a warm night so we went out to the backyard and put all these comforters and these little cots out and everyone would sleep in this giant pile with fifteen people underneath the stars...

it was amazing...so there's two things that were great about it: the noise level didn't bother you, if someone's foot was in your face it didn't bother you. When it's family and you're young it all just works and you feel very safe and very happy.

Another thing is that it reinforces how important the tribe is. Modern society gives us incredible flexibility in that we can get away from our crazy family members, we're not destined to die where we are born or to do what our parents did. So we have incredible freedom.

But coming with it is this tremendous loneliness that we try to cover up either through drugs, alcohol, partying, even trying to find a mission like putting people on mars. But the reality is that a lot of that loneliness comes from being disconnected from growing up in your

A frequent question I get when talking with senior designers: Will my growth as a designer stall if I start managing?

There is often a second question underneath that, which is:
Will I no longer be respected as a design leader if I can't keep up as a designer?

Thread below👇

My short answer to "Will my growth as a designer stall if I manage?" is yes, absolutely, if "designer" is someone who produces design work.

Managing a 5-8 ppl team does not leave you time to design. When you don't practice a craft, you should not expect to get better at it.

However... (and this is a BIG however)...

What you *can* continue to grow (as both a design manager and a designer) is the following:

1) Your design eye
2) Your design voice

A strong design eye means that others trust you to know what is good.

It means your taste is well-honed through extensive study of an area.

It means your sense for usability, simplicity and aesthetics is well-developed even at subtle or fine granularities.

Very early in my design career, my manager asked me to review some design portfolios. I sat there, petrified, clicking through dozens of links. I could tell which ones were really bad, but many of the portfolios seemed good! I could not really distinguish between them on quality!

I found myself unable to discuss or see people in a negative light
It was a strange place to be
A whole new realm that isolated me in some way
When I am among people and the topic goes in the direction of Mr. So and So did this evil thing to me or Mrs. Such and such said the

following things about me
I find my skin crawling and my defences up
I don't do this naturally, it just is.
When I am with my team and we're discussing stuff, I dodge all the unnecessary stuff
I don't want to know who is doing that bad thing or who is not performing up to par

I find it nauseating to say the least
Talking ill of people even when it ought to be discussed
A brother caught covid from his girlfriend
They were not married and ought not to be together that way
Someone pointed my attention to it and I felt somehow
Like the person wanted to

force-feed me poison
The person meant well and I should know what is going on but I really couldn't bear the heaviness of such talks
I understand that it is normal for people to share such talks and bond over it
I once worked as a personal assistant to a pastor who will pick a

person and talk about the person with his wife all the way from Lagos to Ibadan and will still chew the person like a bone all the way from Ibadan back to Lagos
He will keep digging out faults and misdeeds like a dog unearthing buried bones
It was a crazy habit I could barely
