“The finish line is for the ego. The journey is for the soul.”

We certainly learn more from the journey than from the destination. If you pay attention, you will realise how much you have changed, since you started this truth-seeking journey.

And that is, precisely, the whole point. Truth is found as you transform into a higher conciousness capable of assimilating and doing something about the truth you find.

It’s not so much that ‘the truth will set you free’ it’s that your capacity to see the truth has already freed you.

In any case, the phrase should more accurately read: “The knowledge of truth will set you free.” Knowledge is the key to everything, but you need to want to seek it, and that is exactly what is dividing humanity right now.

There are those that can’t be bothered to search for truth, those that catch a glimpse and turn their backs to it and then there’s those who have the courage to seek it and face it, even if it sucks. It is only the latter that stand a chance of being free.

Knowledge, however, is just the first step. Understanding is the next one. You must internally process knowledge, grasp it’s implications, digest them and apply them in your life.

Contrary to what most people believe, wisdom is not the knowledge of truth, it’s the application of that truth. Wisdom is when your thoughts (driven by knowledge) and your emotions (driven by the processing of that knowledge) are reflected in your actions. In other words; wisdom is when your thoughts, emotions and actions are perfectly aligned.

Wisdom not only requires knowledge and the capacity to process it, it requires courage, in order to turn it into action; as you think so you feel, so you say, or do.

So to all of you sharing this journey of seeking the knowledge of truth, trying hard to process it and attempting to act accordingly, I salute you.

I salute you for having the intuition that brought you on this journey in the first place, for having the the humility to accept your own ignorance, the strength to cope with truth, the capacity to process it, the generosity to want to share it with others and ultimately, the courage to do something about it.

Remember wisdom is the application of processed knowledge, so be wise and start making the necessary changes both internally and externally.

You’ve gotten this far - you can do it! 🤔

Winter Break Goals:

Organize!!

- I’ve been busy studying for my finals, ACT, and SAT so now that it’s break it’s the perfect time to clean and organize my space. I’m also gonna be decluttering and getting rid of everything that I don’t love.

Draw!!

- Now that I’m done with the semester I have more time to create art!🎉 My goal is to get a rough draft of the first chapter of a comic I’m working on completed, along with designing some new fashions.

Study!!

- I’m going to begin studying Korean and Japanese. I’m very determined to learn both quickly, so from now on I’ll be studying them both very hard.

Another thing not mushroom related, just a ramble I was having that I wanted to put to paper.

Here's some tips for people who practice body doubling for someone neurodiverse, or assist children with tasks they don't want to complete, coming from someone with young family members and adhd. This might be obvious to some, maybe not so to others.

In my experience, sometimes helping people complete difficult tasks (difficult for them, mind you) has to be more interactive than just sitting there, and reminding people to stay focused. It's all dependent upon what exactly that person needs from you.

Whenever I'm body doubling, I do my best to encourage people to complete what they're working on in a variety of ways.

-Take care of their bodily needs: bringing food and water (or caffiene), reminding them to take bathroom and eye strain breaks. This can do wonders to manage someone's stress level.

-Help keep them engaged by asking questions and providing input where applicable: Whenever someone decides to stop working on a task, sometimes it's not just from a lack of stamina but from a roadblock of some kind. You can say, "Do you think you could work for just 5 more itty bitty minutes just for me, pretty, please?" (I call this the 'just one more bite' strategy.) That doesn't often work for me though. What I like to do is ask them to describe what they're doing, or what the next step in the process is.

Be a little persistent, but know when to back off. Keep it casual, like any other topic of discussion. Don't make the person even more frustrated. Describing their task to someone else can really keep people engaged with what they're doing. It can also give you a sense of where a problem is coming from.

"What is this assignment/question about?"

"Where is a good stopping off point?"

"So when we get back to this, what's the next step?"

"Rough estimate, how long is this going to take?" (Maybe only do this one if it's not a long project. Otherwise, it can make someone feel like they're not making progress. Also, it can come across as sounding exasperated, so be careful. Alternatively, you can ask, "How long do you think you've been working now?")

Do they need someone to bounce ideas off of? Genuinely ask yourself what you think about what they're doing, and share that with them.

In my experience these conversations work better than a traditional "you need to get this done" or "you promised you would get this done." And if you do need to take a break, this gives you both a firm idea of where they left off.

I don't know how to explain this but asking these questions motivates people best if you don't acknowledge the fact that you're trying to subtly manipulate them into continuing. The focus and modivation of children and neurodiverse people can be a lot like trying to woo a standoffish cat. They can smell if you're trying too hard, and that's off putting to them.

-Finding ways to assist them directly. If they are washing dishes, you can dry and put them away. If they need to clean, you can dj, or keep the children occupied. You can load the dishwasher while they do the cat litter. They can brainstorm, you can type out their ideas. Don't belittle yourself if you don't have the means or the energy to do these things. Sometimes people will prefer to do tasks alone, and barring extreme circumstances, you should heed that.

In summary, some people need someone to sit there and gently remind them to stay on task. Some people just straight up need a personal assistant. I want to make it clear you aren't "doing it wrong" if you just wanna do the former, it's still a very nice thing to do. I do hope that maybe knowing about some of these techniques will help a body doubler be more effective, or help a body doublee describe what their needs are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Life is always gonna be shit, everyone suffers unfortunately that's the way life is. Focus on the good things, the people you love, the people who love you, maybe even series', good memories ect. Everyone has bad memories and everyone has good memories when you're going through a tough patch remember everything ends at one point and there will always be some good points in your life, even if it's a little it's STILL something.
