Summer of Megadeth: this could have been like ten tweets or one blog post so here's to economy i guess
nobody asked my opinion on this (haha, whatever—blogs!!) but i just had to get this off my chest because a lot of people were hating on TED talks today and i started feeling that protective sort of feeling you get when a thing you’ve hated on so tirelessly for so long ends up on the…

A thought-form can also act as a poisoning agent, and poison all the springs of life….A violent dislike, a gnawing worry, a jealousy, a constant anxiety, and a longing for something or someone, may act so potently as an irritant or poison that the entire life is spoilt, and service is rendered futile. The entire life is embittered and devitalized by the embodied worry, hatred and desire….and is held back by the poison in his mental system. His vision becomes distorted, his nature corroded, and all his relationships impeded by the wearing, nagging thoughts which he himself embodies in form and which have a life so powerful that they can poison him.

Anyone who’s remained stubbornly single through their 20s (or refuses to marry, or legally can’t) knows the financial woes of helping your friends “build a new life together!”: the numerous pre-parties (and required gifts), followed by the wedding (travel, hotel, clothes, and an even nicer gift). Marriage, in Western culture, operates on the model that a new couple needs “one of everything” in order to make a home, and should keep buying until they get it—and all those fancy cupcakes require lots of cooking gear too.
What Pinterest Taught Me About Marriage as a Capitalist Prison by Academic Coach Taylor
Slacktory: “This article covers how Pinterest fetishizes owning stuff, and how that relates to the Western institution of marriage, and holy crap, this is a genuinely insightful article that starts with an analysis of dumb ol’ Pinterest. Read it.”

Ain’t it the truth.
I got married when I was a 23-year-old fetus. Way too early and way too stupid. And this started immediately.
The wedding gifts say it all. We got the bread maker. The knives. The one thing of every thing of all things. And we had nowhere to put it all. So we bought a house, but then holy shit there was too much space. So we bought more stuff.
We went through three houses like that. Two married children with better jobs and more privilege than they deserved, trying to keep the fuck up.
And I figured it out at one point. That I was really just buying things and waiting to die.
I spent the next few years learning to undo both of those trends.
I am a minimalist at heart in nearly all things. My mind and heart need the space that other things quickly occupy. And the trend described above will drown a person like me. And it tried.
After the divorce, I sold everything and rebuilt according to need.
And I have yet to buy a breadmaker.
They say Miami is heaven’s waiting room.
I say the consumerist Western marriage model is Miami’s waiting room.

On singing nigga.
I’m concerned about saying the n-word in rap songs. I like to rap along with Weezy and Jay-Z, but as a white girl, I feel like I shouldn’t be saying the n-word even when it’s just part of a song. Censoring myself or saying something else instead just feels stupid. I know it would be better to ask a person of color (I assume you’re white? Correct me if I’m wrong) but I’m too embarrassed. What should I do?
Sing the fucking song, you hypersensitive twit.

The pineal gland (also called the pineal body, epiphysis cerebri, epiphysis or the “third eye”) is a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain. It produces melatonin, a hormone that affects the modulation of wake/sleep patterns and photoperiodic (seasonal) functions.
The pineal gland’s location deep in the brain seems to intimate hidden importance. In the days before its function as a physical eye that could see beyond space-time was discovered, it was considered a mystery linked to superstition and mysticism. Today it is associated with the sixth chakra whose awakening is linked to prophecy and and increased psychic awareness as consciousness ascends.
This pineal gland is activated by Light, and it controls the various bio-rhythms of the body. It works in harmony with the hypothalamus gland which directs the body’s thirst, hunger, sexual desire and the biological clock that determines our aging process. When it awakens, one feels a pressure at the base of the brain.
While the physiological function of the pineal gland has been unknown until recent times, mystical traditions and esoteric schools have long known this area in the middle of the brain to be the connecting link between the physical and spiritual worlds. Considered the most powerful and highest source of ethereal energy available to humans, the pineal gland has always been important in initiating supernatural powers. Development of psychic talents has been closely associated with this organ of higher vision.
When awakened, the third acts as a ‘stargate’ that sees beyond Space-Time into Time-Space. To activate the ‘third eye’ is to raise one’s frequency and moving into higher consciousness - all is a consciousness experience perceived through the Eye of Time or Third Eye. Meditation, Visualization Yoga, and all forms of Out of Body travel, open the Third Eye and allow you to ‘see’ beyond the physical. As you practice, you will get it faster and more frequently. Your psychic abilities will increase as well as your dream time messages. You may first begin with your eyes closed, but as you practice, you will be able to open your third eye by focusing your attention and receiving messages with your physical eyes open. Planetary vibration/frequency is accelerating exponentially, allowing souls to peer into other realms far more easily than in the past.
The pineal gland corresponds with divine thought after being touched by the vibrating light of Kundalini. starts its ascent towards the head center after responding to the vibrations from the ‘light in the head.’ The light is located at the top of the sutratma, or ‘soul thread’, which passes down from the highest plane of our being into the physical vehicle.
