Fun Fact! Your ears don't have very many nerve endings, so if you injure the edges of them, you might not even realize it at first!

Other Completely Unrelated PSA! If your hair is somewhat short and you are cutting it enthusiastically while bopping along to shitty phone speaker music in your bathroom, you should probably stop bopping when you get to the around the ear part! And also maybe don't wear a white shirt.

5/11/2021 - New Moon In Taurus & Horoscopes For All Signs

The New Moon in Taurus is here! This is a wonderful time of rejuvenation, relaxation, and peacefulness. The New Moon in Taurus will bring a sense of comfort to every sign, and provide a space for emotional security. Work on getting to bed a little earlier or perhaps sleeping in more on days where you can afford to. Reworking your daily routine to include some self-care is something highly encouraged by the Universe. When you start taking time for yourself, you will find that more opportunities and options show up for you effortlessly! You might be listening to binaural beats, Singing bowls, Guided meditations, and Subliminals. These are going to help clear your mind immensely which is going to recharge you. Switching up your nightly routine in order to wind down easier will help you get to sleep faster. Deciding to put your phone away an hour before heading to sleep will be beneficial in aiding your sleep. Reading books, drawing, or listening to music will also encourage you to express yourself or indulge in your imagination. Make sure to take naps throughout this New Moon in Taurus also as the days might make you feel a bit heavier. This is also a great time to renovate your living space as well. Some might be wanting to invest in new bed sets, furniture, or odds and ends. This is the perfect time to do so as you will feel more energized to fix the energy of your environments. When your space is cleaned and cleansed, you will feel so much more inspired to get to your daily routine. It's incredibly important to make your space around you into your sanctuary! Doing self care during this Taurus New Moon is crucial as well!

Meditation is also going to be a beneficial thing to harness during this New Moon Taurus! Don't fret too much about if you fall asleep during your meditation ; sometimes that's what you need at that moment. Try again after being fully rested! Some are being pulled to guided meditations on Youtube such as Past Life Regressions, Connecting with/Meeting your Spirit Guides, and Spirit Animal Meditations. This is the perfect time to really work on your spirituality and to better understand who your spiritual team are!

Rituals that you can do during the Taurus New Moon:

Let's cover some of the best face and skin treatment rituals for during this time, shall we? My grandfather always said to me growing up, “Cleanliness is Next To Godliness, And Your Body Needs To Be Cleaned Like A Temple”. This is going to be a wonderful time to focus on your Glow and to Clean YOUR body like the Temple it is. The overall vibe of the New Moon in Taurus going forward though is to take care of your skin through Face Masks, Facials, Sugar Scrubs, Baths or Bath Bombs. Deciding to have a spiritual bath can also be very healing during this time also as it will cleanse you going forward throughout the rest of the month. This can be baths that are taken with your favorite essential oils, your favorite candles burning, or your favorite crystals in the water with you. Focusing on Skincare by using your favorite oils before bed – Argon, Rosehip Seed, Raspberry, Marula, Carrot Seed, or even Jojoba Oil will help you increase your confidence this month. When we take the extra time and focus it on our skin, our mental space will thank us also. Some might be deciding to do the blackhead strips, charcoal masks, or under eye patches – and perhaps you have been debating with yourself on if you should get these things lately. Spirit is saying – Treat Yourself during this Taurus New Moon, dearest! You can also take this time to do an oil treatment in your hair, leaving it in overnight so it can absorb as much moisture as possible. Coconut oil is amazing for this, but beware if you have dyed your hair with henna as coconut oil can cause your dye to run.

One of my favorite things to do is create my own bath supplies, so I want to share my favorite recipes for Sugar Scrub:

½ Cup Brown Sugar

½ Cup Granulated Sugar

1/3 Cup Salt

1 Tablespoon Essential Oil of Your Choice!

Mix and then apply to your skin and all over your body. You can also add in coffee grounds, but I would suggest using more brown sugar as a cushion as the coffee grounds can be a bit rough against your skin. Sea Salt is also optional, but I generally don't use it unless I'm making a courser salt for feet and hands. Oatmeal masks are also amazing too as they calm inflamed skin or outbreaks of acne. Trust yourself and follow your intuition on what your skin needs most. I like to make two big batches of both peppermint and vanilla body scrubs during the holiday season so I always have them on hand throughout the year. These keep perfectly, so long as you don't get any water inside of the jar itself. Keep in a plastic container and get some out each time you're ready to go into the shower or bath. It's wonderful to use courser sugar scrubs right before you remove hair as well to exfoliate and lift the hairs you are wanting to shave or wax. Some might also be getting into Sugaring more over this period too, which your skin is going to thank you for!

Some Essential Oils I suggest for skin health and the yummy smell they have are as follows:

Lemon

Vanilla

Peppermint

Pomegranate

Frankincense

Another great, cost effective and organic home remedy facial treatment for those that don't mind doing a more nontraditional face mask - take an egg from the fridge, separate the yolk from the white into different cups. Whisk both separately, but save the yolk for later. Take the whisked egg white and begin to spread on your face. Let dry onto skin, then wash off. Go back to the yolk, give another whisk, then apply and wait until it dries again. Wash face off, and enjoy your skin feeling incredibly soft! I would do this every week as a teenager growing up as it was more accessible money-wise for me than affording face masks or oils. It really works amazingly! The whole process can take up to an hour, so make sure to have your favorite songs or videos ready to keep you company!

Horoscopes for Each Sign and Element over the New Moon in Taurus:

Please make sure to check your Sun, Moon, Rising, and Venus Signs as you might resonate more with their energies. :)

EARTH: 7 of Cups – Options, Options, and More Options are coming your way, Earth Signs! You might find that during this Taurus New Moon, which is a time of introspection and rest, you have more to do than any other sign. You're taking a lot onto your plate at once, but you know that you have what it takes to get everything accomplished. Some Earth signs are going to be pleasantly surprised with a gift someone got them over this period. It's going to be something sentimental, and perhaps something you will cherish for many years to come. I'm seeing a pearl, so you might be receiving a necklace or some form of jewelry from someone you love. For other's, there's this energy of you don't need all of the riches in the world to be happy. You're focused on the joy and sentimentality in the world currently rather than material gains, which is going to make you a lot happier in the long run. For a select few Earth Signs, you're starting to realize that everyone is on their own timing. If we were to all be successful at the same time, where would the excitement be? Know as you work hard that your time is coming soon – and what you're expecting is better than all the riches in the world.

Taurus: Knight Of Cups – Self-love that leads to a romantic connection is coming your way, Taurus! This is coming after some Taurus might have been in hiding or isolation for the longest time, but you're ready to emerge. The Butterfly is finally leaving the safety of the cocoon to spread their wings and enjoy the world! This is your vibe right now under the New Moon in your sign, Taurus. Allow yourself to explore new ideas or adventures in your life. This leap of faith is what is going to not only bring you to self-love, but to a healthy relationship, too. For some Taurus, you might be scared on how to approach a partnership or connection. Don't be as this person appreciates your genuineness, and wants you to only approach as yourself. Keep loving and appreciating yourself, Taurus. You bring a lot of beauty into the world! Also, if you feel the need to stay longer in your cocoon; that's okay! But please don't forget to come out and love on those who love you!

Virgo: Queen Of Wands – This Virgo's on Fire! You're focusing on your passions and becoming dedicated to your life purpose. Because of this, People are going to be finally giving you the recognition that you deserve. Allow yourself to focus on things that light that fire underneath you! That's what's going to bring you to abundance! Some Virgo's are going to have other's being jealous about them, because you are going to be thriving during this Taurus New Moon. You're glowing from head to toe, and it's making other's feel a bit on edge. Some might have gotten used to you always being their Yes Man, that they hardly even noticed when you started doing your own thing or started shining. Those in a relationship, your partner might be the one feeling jealous with all of the extra attention you're going to be receiving. False friends are coming to the light now too, Virgo. Some might be wanting to come back to find something to gossip about or just want to get into your good graces now that you're making a name for yourself. Focus on you right now. Work on you, and be your own Yes Man.

Capricorn: 8 Of Coins – You're working hard, Capricorn! You're putting in the elbow grease needed to level up or achieve more. You might be working overtime or deciding to take more time on your hobbies. This might also give you the chance to make a career from your hobbies too! Some Capricorn's are craving nature and this is The Universe directly asking you to spend some time outside. Connect with Mother Gaia and you will feel a lot lighter. Some are being called towards rivers or creeks. It might be beneficial to pack a picnic and sit next to water for a few hours, Capricorn. Some other Capricorn's might be deciding to get into a new exercise regime. This is going to not only raise your confidence with the endorphin boost, but get your body looking tone and fit! Remember to take your time with this, and to go into your exercise focusing on the self-care that comes with it. Don't stress yourself out too much or overwhelm yourself in regards to loosing a certain amount of weight. See this instead as getting active and going! For one Capricorn in particular, people are noticing that booty. (The Tarot card in front of me, this man literally has the nicest butt haha, so I think this is a message for some.) Regardless of whatever you're focused on, things are getting done, Capricorn! Great job!

AIR: Page Of Cups – Someone has been keeping an eye on you, Air Signs! This is someone who wants to come in with a declaration of their feelings. This isn't anything big, and for some Air Signs, you might not even realize this person has deep feelings for you. This could entail them doing small acts of service, traveling to you, or opening up lines of communication more. For some this person is at a bit of a distance, or might have felt like they were. They're coming back around, don't worry! Other Air Signs are going to be focusing on their own Self-Care routine. This could include spiritual baths, space cleanses, facials, watching that new series that came out on Netflix, etc. Whatever it might be for you, you're deciding to start turning your attention towards your own care more. Pampering yourself is the name of the game over the Taurus New Moon. Other Air Signs are starting to be less critical of themselves and really start to see all they bring to the table. Good for you, Air Signs!

Gemini: 9 Of Wands – You're pushing forward resiliently, Gemini! You might have felt that you couldn't achieve all you set your mind to in the past, but here you are! You're pushing forward every day and putting one foot in front of the other. You're strong and courageous, unwavering and persistent. This is why you are in the homestretch with what you're manifesting into being! Whether this be a deeper level of commitment, more recognition at work, or a higher paycheck – you're almost there! Some Gemini's might feel as if they are being pulled in ma different directions too. Know that over this Taurus New Moon it's okay to say no or stay true to your own boundaries. You don't owe anyone anything. Other than owing yourself the life you've always desired! Finish up this cycle, Gemini! You got this in the bag!

Libra: 2 Of Wands - There are decisions to be made about the future, Libra. Are you ready to take the leap of faith towards your goals and success? You're making plans for a better future in general. You're planning to be smarter in terms of business or just providing for yourself. Libras are not going to be taking no for an answer when it comes to their dreams any longer – no. You're deciding to start taking the bull by the horns to achieve what you really want. Some Libra's will have a change of heart from what they originally thought that they wanted or needed. I'm hearing, “What I thought I wanted, I don't actually want.” Interesting, Libra! Don't feel scared to change course! Just because you might have invested a lot into one path doesn't mean you should continue down it if it no longer resonates with your story (and who you are!)

Aquarius: Knight Of Coins – You're taking your shot, Aquarius, and it's looking to be a Bullseye! Trust in your talents and know that you have all of the resources to be able to accomplish your dreams. You're leaping into success, but The Universe also wants you to pace yourself as you're going forward. Yes it's good to keep pushing forward, but it's important to aim before you decide to shoot your arrow. Meticulousness is your biggest friend right now! Make sure to weigh all the pros and cons before making decisions as well. Some Aquarians might notice themselves having the Mitas Touch going forward! Everything you touch will be Gold, and you're going to really be bringing in that coin! In any event, whatever you're moving towards, Aquarius, is going to provide you with a new level of stability. Get excited!!

WATER: Justice – Divine Justice is coming your way, Water Signs! Are you ready for a major shift in your favor? Something you've waited for is finally coming full circle. For some, it's as if the Universe kept you in the dark so that when this finally got to you it would be a surprise. You're also being asked to get your life back in balance where it might not be. Getting back into your own equilibrium is going to give you better perspective as well. For other Water Signs your friends might be helping to give you insight on what is happening behind the scenes. There might be one friend in particular that is going to confide a secret in you. I feel this is going to be something that they haven't told anyone, so really hold this close. For one Water Sign in particular, it feels as if someone is testing you to see what you would do in a certain situation. A Cancer/Libra pairing could potentially be important.

Cancer: The Sun – Happiness and joy are all yours, Cancer! You are going to feel lighter than you have in quite a while. It will feel exhilarating and will give you a pep in your step to accomplish your work throughout the week. You're going to be focusing on the bright side, and finding the silver linings even in the disappointments. Things as a whole will be illuminated in a way that highlights just how blessed and abundant you are. Some are going to be spending more time in nature, perhaps taking up a nice camping spot near a creek or river. Butterfly imagery is going to be sent to you as a sign from Spirit. Take note of what you were thinking about when you see one as it's a message! Enjoy this time, Cancer! And be at one with Nature for a while, if you can. (Even if it just means buying a new plant for your room!)

Pisces: 10 Of Coins – Success and Abundance are coming your way, Pisces! Are you ready to be financially comfortable and to finally have a leg up financially? Now is the time to start planning for any trips you would want to take as well, as your money is coming in fast. Is there somewhere you wanted to vacation? Or perhaps a local attraction you wanted to attend? Put yourself out there and seize the day, Pisces! The Universe also is saying that you are going to be receiving a lot more material items in your world as well. Some might be deciding to treat themselves to a shopping spree, a spa day, or perhaps you're getting cosmetics done such as a haircut. Whatever that might be for you, allow yourself to do it! Splurge on yourself and let yourself live in some lavishness. You are worth it after all, Pisces.

Scorpio: The Star – Scorpio, you are feeling hopeful that things are aligning the way that they are supposed to! Keep trusting in the Universe as your Manifestations are starting to trickle in. You might start to notice this over the next few weeks just how quick the Law Of Attraction works for you. You're feeling inspired to take care of your home space right now, Scorpio. You might be cleaning house and remaking you nest, so to speak. You're decorating and feeling compelled to bring more comfort into your space. Trust this and keep filling your space with things that bring your soul peace. For other Scorpio's, you're being asked to take Spiritual baths and and nurture yourself more. A few select Scorpio's will be feeling as though things are coming full circle with another individual as well. There might have been someone in the past who didn't want to give you the time of day, but now they're back. It's your call entirely, Scorpio.

FIRE: 9 Of Cups – A wish fulfillment is coming your way, Fire Signs! There is an energy of calm and peacefulness sweeping over all of you, and it will bring clarity. Whatever it is that will emotionally fulfill you, that you've been manifesting for a while now, it will be in your life sooner than you know it. Are you ready for the blessings that are going to be waiting for you? A few might be deciding to pick up a new instrument too, and this is going to widen your imagination. It will make you feel more inspired as well to accomplish your work and make that coin! For other Fire Signs, you are watching romance movies (or rom-coms) and imagining how wonderful it would be for someone to do these things for you. That person is coming! For one Fire Sign in particular, your person plays the guitar and will offer to serenade you. Let them, Fire Signs! And don't be embarrassed or shy away – you deserve a declaration of love worthy of your time!

Sagittarius: Knight Of Swords – You are making ground in your life fast, Sagittarius! You're achieving a lot, and it's really starting to show. People are noticing that you're holding yourself differently. You're feeling proud of all you've done over this Taurus New Moon. For some there is going to be communication coming in with someone that you've been waiting on. This might be someone who travels a lot, or someone who has just been focused on themselves and their own abundance. They have a lot to share with you, and it's going to intrigue you all that this person has to say. For some, this person drives a red or white car. Other Sagittarius are going to be in frequent communication with someone completely new that is entering your life sooner than you know it. This bodes well for those Sagittarius looking for a partner online or on apps! For other's you might be hearing important news in regards to your home life or finances. This is going to bring good fortune and blessings your way.

Leo: King Of Wands – You are feeling yourself, Leo! You're on top of the world, and you're excited about showing your passions to the world. You're feeling that you can take on anything and be successful at it. This is true! Spirit wants you to remember that anything you put your mind to you can accomplish over this Taurus New Moon! Some Leo's are being asked to take break and recuperate. You've been running on fumes for a while now, and Spirit needs you to recharge as your life will be speeding up even more over the next month. It will seem like everyone wants a piece of you, Leo! So get some much needed R&R before you have to get going again! Other Leo's might be deciding to branch out on your own in regards to career. Whether this be a lip gloss business, or a homemade bracelet business, you will do amazing! But remember to go for it! The majority of Leo placements will feel as if they are closing out a chapter of their life and entering a more stable footing. Don't doubt!

Aries: The Devil – Aries, you are going to be in your head a lot over this Taurus New Moon. There's something that you want to be doing, or hoped would come around, that perhaps you feel a bit bound to. For some Aries you might be deciding to start over fresh in your life, and undergo a transformation. Good for you, Aries!! Do it! There's also an energy though of being too hard on yourself, especially while trying to obtain this glow-up, and The Universe wants you to see this as a form of Self-Sabotage. Spirit is also saying, “If being critical about yourself didn't help or work, why not try being your best friend instead?” See how things change when you look at your life from a different perspective. Take a look objectively and know that you aren't as trapped as your Ego is trying to make you think you are. You are being guided by Spirit over this New Moon period to find sanctuary within yourself, and to be content with where you are. Practice yoga breathing as well as this will clear your mind. For those in a toxic relationship, The Universe is telling you not to be scared to release this. After all ; when one door closes, another one opens!

https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/canadian-hospitals-expanding-covid-19-care-facilities-1.5516559I started reading about what’s happening in New York at the moment, and I don’t know what to say... it sounds very tough for the people there.

I put quite a lot of things this week that may hopefully be of some use, but I don’t know yet with much certainty because I just started reading about it.

They need a list of- e.g. the 500 overall and specific most effective strategies for anything coronavirus related (within a coronavirus budget- which still needs to be quite high considering how many people’s friends and loved ones are dying and at risk), strategies which you create and find over days, weeks, months, and the year, and as you aim for finding the #1 to #10 methods (be really tough with where you rank things- if you think it’s #1, put it as #50), and slot in more as you find them with estimations of effectiveness results- finding 5-30 high ones a week seems like a great goal (even 5 high ones is better than 1, 2 or 0). There could be the 500 best strategies, ranked, the government does, and a separate 500 best strategies, ranked, the people add to and do (especially for the goals of flattening the curve, influencing people, figuring out the top 20 skills people need to learn and encouraging this, and helping the media to support optimal help and prevent/stop panic, getting people in the optimal frame of mind for problem solving, and helping the most vulnerable with how they earn or get enough money for rent and food). 

One of the big questions for the government would be, who are the 30-50 types of people who are at risk of suffering the most in the medium and long term, and what strategies can be added to protect them better and better? Another thing to be really aware of is not only New York and the US itself, but vulnerable countries all over the world, as well as vulnerable areas throughout the US? Why? The US is one of the best off countries in the world and has a strong public health system. Flattening the curve as much as possible is strongly needed to minimise people getting rejected from hospitals. However, areas all over the world are 1000x less prepared, 10000x less prepared to protect their citizens from the coronavirus than the US. It may be impossible to stop the spread of the coronavirus in the US because it is such an open country, but to give the most vulnerable countries as best an opportunity as possible to prepare for this. For example, Australia is under a near complete lockdown (can only leave the house for work, medical care, groceries and exercise with 1 person, not allowed to having social gatherings with more than 1 person, thorough clear resources on the primary government website, clear memorable messaging on TV for habits, and police giving out fines for specific not-allowed activities). A big part would be strongly training people to learn the top 20 habits that would keep people as safe as achievable, and asking the media to send out 10,000 memorable ripples for the people who care the least (e.g. criminals) to learn these. But without stressing people out too much, because that impairs thinking and memory. How can the media best help? And what are they doing now that they need to do less of (e.g. expressing things in a way that encourages panic rather than problem solving, focusing on what you can do, and appreciating the rest of your life that’s still happening)? 

Another example is that it seems places where there are vulnerable or at risk people (I called them Level 2-10 people in a post further down) need to be the best protected, which could be done by legal methods (e.g. banning people from going to nursing homes, heavy fines for not following government instructions to protect people, and setting up video conferencing in all homes so nursing home residents won’t be killed by loneliness rather than the virus) and by strongly (and ethically/ non-stressfully) motivating anyone in contact with nursing homes to do exactly what they need to do. You might need a team of 20 extremely effective researchers, specialists and data analysts (e.g. someone who has worked with every aspect of retirement homes over the past 20 years and knows all the details extremely well), each researching recommendations and data, and also giving very good reasons for why for each recommendation. And getting people who will disagree with each other (in an amicable way) working together so they can spot flaws in each others evaluations (i.e. so big and medium mistakes can be prevented more effectively).

You can’t demand perfection (i.e. 100% of people), because you will stress yourself out too much and reduce your abilities, but you can constantly improve (e.g. aim for 10 big improvements a day- even if you fail- 1 big improvement is bigger than 0) towards the required goals.

One thing seems clear though... there is something called ‘wartime production’, where the government pays- or pays and legally forces- certain companies- e.g. ventilator companies, facemask companies, quarantine gown companies, people glove companies, hand sanitiser companies, to produce a tonne of what is needed. And some can be reused every 5 days, right? If you put it in boxes? What do medical experts say- is this safe? 

Especially ventilator companies. If various countries have built hospitals in two weeks, then it is definitely achievable to expand ventilator production an absolute tonne (i.e. build additional factories right now and run them 24/7). And once the epidemic peak is finished in the US, you can give or sell the ventilators to the other 213 countries that need them.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-medical-supplies-procurement-1.5516068

"The entire world is trying to get its hands on the various equipment needed to fight this virus. That is why we know that it will be important to have made-in-Canada solutions," he told reporters.

On March 20, the federal government announced its intention to provide monetary support to manufacturers that can retool their assembly lines to make ventilators, masks and other personal protective gear, and to help those already making such products quickly scale up manufacturing capacity.  "This is a priority for our government and we will continue to source new solutions every day," he said in his prepared remarks. “However, If you >>>stay home and >>>follow public health recommendations, you can slow the spread... (and reduce the likelihood of Intensive Care having to reject people who need to be in Intensive Care)". "This is all hands on deck... our government is leaving no stone unturned." The hardest to influence citizens (e.g. criminals) need to be encouraged to meet all requirements as well. 

https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/canadian-hospitals-expanding-covid-19-care-facilities-1.5516559

If someone is hooked up to a ventilator for an average of 1 week, then 1 ventilator might save something like 50 lives, which is a LOT compared to 0 ventilators. So, if ventilator production is increased from e.g. 10 ventilators being produced a day to 10 factories being built by government funding (and you’re one of the richest countries in the world- this funding is 100% there) this means 100 ventilators will be produced a day. Yes- flattening the curve by sending out 10,000 extremely effective (and ethical/ non-freaking people out) waves to influence the hardest to influence people (e.g. criminals) is the best way. But ventilator production is definitely the other half of the coin. What if there are future pandemics from e.g. unethical behaviour (let’s all do our best to influence the hardset to influence 5% to make sure that never happens)? This is all skill building, training and resources for how effective you are with that as well. 

Although it would be a very good idea to take this one day at a time in terms of worrying, or even one hour/ half an hour at a time if you need to. i.e. plan ahead for the future, but your responsibility is your actions over the next day or half hour (planning is an action). 

And all senior decision makers need to regularly get enough sleep and food, and to get serious help with anxiety/ worry (e.g. medication or refusing to worry in your recovery hours/ giving full responsibility to second and third in command during recovery hours). It would be excellent to also hire additional extremely effective people from a variety of relevant fields as problem solvers (even if 90% of the time they don’t get anything and 10% of the time they come up with highly effective strategies), or at least schedule e.g. 1 hour a day (of non-recovery time) to problem solving. 

It would also be an extremely good idea to have a list of the 200 best self protection and mental health protection methods (while still being extremely effective), ranked in order, which you actively research and slot in. This is absolutely necessary for these times. Yes, it’s sad that thousands are dying frequently but the only thing you can control is the effectiveness of your inputs. You must put boundaries. And minimise trauma to yourself after this happens. As well as minimise any legal liability as well (while prioritising the people, which will protect your mental health at the moment.

I don’t really know at the moment. You wouldn’t be able to focus on perfectionism, just on attempting to make 10 huge leaps on the current strategies each day. Or hiring people who will achieve this. 

And definitely getting people to research what other countries are doing for if any steps are useful or relevant. If your job is to protect your people in the best way possible, while also doing your best to give poor, vulnerable countries as much time as they can to prepare (as their hospital systems will be anything like 1/10th, 1/100th or 1/1000th of yours- time to prepare will help them a lot), then definitely find out and use all of the best methods from all of the countries all over the world. One idea is to see the ways that the poorest countries prepare- e.g. government orders to protect nursing homes and the most vulnerable, getting people to optimise their habits around coronavirus AND  getting all level 2-10 people to do 20x500 things to optimise their lung and immune system health before the coronavirus and applying it to your most vulnerable populations.  I also have a friend in New York who has a collapsed lung- I wonder what specialists would say that the best 20x500 things that people with specific health conditions (like this one) can do to optimise their health before the illness. I think that accepting fate is crucial to protect your own mental health, but I also think that everyone who is Level 2-10 should give it their absolute best to do 20 things x 500 times each to pre-prepare as best as possible... it’s just figuring out what those 20 things are, and I think medical specialists would know what they are the best, as well as general immune and lung optimisers, like taking multivitamins, getting enough sunlight, becoming more and more skilled at meditation, getting your immune system and lungs to the perfect strength and the strongest immune and lung intelligence. 

Also, with closing schools- people have to work, because they have to pay for food and >>>rent (what can be done to help the most at risk renters? This would need it’s own ranked list of 100 things to slot in). Some people can work from home, but others can’t. The idea is that everyone who can pull their kids out of school should, but people who have to go to work? Maybe they would get their kids babysat for free by someone? What people could do this and what people couldn’t? With schools, there would need to be ways to protect teachers and their families though (without scaring little children). 

I also particularly recommend seeing the measures Australia has done, for everything as well as the best methods that all the countries around the world have done. We’re all in the same boat with this so best practices are universal and should definitely be used to save as many lives around the world as humanly possible. Definitely, definitely, find the best methods from around the world and see of what % relevance they could be (or if they could be modified to be as effective as possible for your specific context). Don’t worry about ‘taking’- if this is something you’re worried about, you can help them with something else (e.g. influence) after all this is over. Focus on saving as many lives of your own people as you can possibly achieve within your capacity (while also protecting your own health), and worry about everything else later.

Who are the 30 to 50 groups of people at risk of the highest suffering from the coronavirus, and what can be done to protect them? It may be very hard to put emotional boundaries around that (i.e. block yourself from feeling bad- sympathy, understanding and respect- with strong emotional boundaries- are much more adaptive and healthy in this situation than empathy). However the above would probably be the most important way to minimise harm from the coronavirus. And prevention is usually many, many, many times easier than after effects. Maybe another method is giving people clear, memorable instructions on what they need to do. 

And optimum emotional states for the things they need to do... anxiety might be making people act irrationally- e.g. putting them in fight or flight mode/ generalised anxiety disorder, which makes it harder to access the thinking parts of their brain. What clear instructions can people be given for the top 20 skills they need to learn to prevent the coronavirus from spreading? And how do you motivate the hardest to motivate 10%- and 5% of people?

And stoicism. Stoicism is an excellent mental health supporter (i.e. actually reading books by stoicists). As well as many other types of mental health support. 

https://www.cbc.ca/news/covid-19/italy-covid-19-outbreak-lessons-1.5517520

This sounds a bit hippy but what about if Intensive Care Units and hospitals play super-healing lung & immune system music quietly in the background? Patients can ask to turn it off, but to have it playing continuously in the background. This has the risk of making hospital workers tired (as when you are healing your energy goes to your immune system rather than your legs and arm), but this will help patients a tonne. Maybe it can be done like in airplanes, where patients can plug earphones into something for super healing music? And that it’s available 24/7? So hospital workers have lots of energy but their immune system is boosted as well. 

Boosting hospital workers immune systems with music like this that allows motivation and music more is an excellent idea, and where patients can put in earphones into really superhealing rest music that covers the hospital workers quiet background motivating & immune superhealing music? It sounds hippy but I think this might help severe symptoms heal faster. e.g.

I really don’t like people suffering too much, and that’s why I help people. 

But if you’re someone who can’t accept help unless there’s reciprocity, there are three areas that seem connected that are especially close to my heart:

Helping Puerto Rico untie the aid, bureaucacy and social requirements for the rebuilding funding promised for Hurricane Maria. Hurricanes batter their island each hurricane season, and unrepaired houses are at much higher risk of getting more broken. If it takes 10,000 waves to untie the category 5 aid they need so much to rebuild their priorities, it would be so very helpful to add to these waves to help them get it. And maybe to help them figure out how to rebuild houses if there has been 1000 earthquakes and a big earthquake expected every year. Would this be an area of engineering that needs to be created? Or does California know how to do this? It needs to be hurricane surge proof as well. 

Helping Haiti be a politically neutral country, like Switzerland- they really don’t have much power or influence, so being a really strong friend and ally to them while, at the same time, allowing them to work a lot with Venezuela, who provides them with crucial trade and oil subsidies (which they very, very strongly need) and allowing them to work with China, who provide them with funding for infrastructure projects, which will help them an absolutely huge amount. Haiti really does not have much power or influence internationally, so making them like Switzerland would have little impact on the US’s needs or influences. So, being a big help to them, even if they also accept help from Venezuela and China. They are the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and 90% of their people live below the poverty line, so everybody should be allowed to help them... Let’s win their support via who helps them the best, rather than threatening to withdraw allyship. Apparently Haiti and the US have a strained relationship, so this would need to be healed somehow though. 

Any way to help the Rohingya find a big picture and short term solution. <3 <3 <3 If it takes 1,000 methods to complete the puzzle of a win/win solution for them, any methods contributed would be hugely helpful. I don’t know how, but any contributions to help them find a big picture solution that is good for everyone would be hugely appreciated.

Nigerian Facebook User Commits Suicide Months After Writing About Depression And Suicide

A Nigerian Facebook user, Adeleke Rachel Tioluwani has reportedly committed suicide 11 months after writing about “depression and suicide”.

Friends who took to social media to mourn the deceased, disclosed that she was facing lots of challenges which pushed her into depression and suicide.

It was gathered that before her death, “Tioluwani who was in psychological pain and had no father-figure in her life, was practically nursing and taking care of her mum, self-sponsoring her schooling with virtually no assistance from anywhere.”

A TRIBUTE TO ADELEKE RACHEL TIOLUWANI

AT THE HEIGHT OF MY INTENSE PAIN AND SADNESS YESTERDAY, I SNAPPED, AND STARTED FEELING A SENSE OF ERRIE CALMNESS RESULTING FROM RESIGNATION ABOUT TOLU’S DEMISE. I’M STILL HOPING THIS IS A BAD JOKE THOUGH, AND SHE CAME WOULD COME TO SAY THIS IS HER OWN VERSION OF APRIL FOOL. BUT ALSO, I HOPE WITH THIS POST, I WOULD BE ABLE TO EXORCISE ALL THE PAINS I’M FEELING AND DWELL ON HAPPY MEMORIES I HAVE OF HER.

TOLU HAD ALWAYS BEEN AN ENIGMA, AND DESPITE OUR RELATIONSHIP FROM JUST LAST YEAR, WE DIDN’T EVEN MEET FOR ONCE. SHE APPROACHED ME FOR MENTORSHIP FOR FICTION WRITING, AND I TOLD HER SHE DIDN’T NEED MY HELP SINCE SHE WAS ALREADY SO GOOD IN EXPRESSING HERSELF THROUGH WRITTEN POEMS. SHE HAD WAYS WITH WORDS, AND SHE WAS MEANT FOR GREATNESS WITH AN IMAGINATIVE MIND THAT WOULD RIVAL ANYONE’S.

WE STARTED WORKING TOGETHER EVENTUALLY, BECOMING PERHAPS THE FIRST OFFICIAL MEMBER OF FICTIONWRIT MAGAZINE. HOWEVER, FEW WEEKS INTO WORKING WITH HER, I REALISED SHE WAS TROUBLED. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS FINANCIAL AFTER TALKING WITH HER, AND I TOLD HER I WILL BE SENDING UPKEEP MONEY TO HER WHEN SHE EXPLAINED HER ISSUE WITH SCHOOLING. SHE REJECTED THAT, AND I HAD TO CONVINCE HER THAT I WOULD BE PAYING FOR HER WRITINGS INSTEAD. THAT SEEMED ACCEPTABLE WITH HER, AND WE PROCEEDED.

WEEKS LATER, SHE HAD ANOTHER ISSUE. SHE WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH HER BOSS, THE FOUNDER OF A WRITER COMMUNITY. IT WAS A MESSY AFFAIR, AND IN MY ATTEMPTS TO HELP HER RESOLVE IT, I REALISED SHE WAS A TICKING TIME BOMB, WALKING ALL OVER EGGS ALL HER LIFE. SHE WAS STILL VERY SECRETIVE, REFUSING TO OPEN UP COMPLETELY, BUT SHE LET ME IN ENOUGH TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF THE HELL SHE WAS GOING THROUGH. AT THAT YOUNG AGE OF HERS, SHE WAS GOING THROUGH WHAT SHE SHOULDN’T BE GOING THROUGH. WITH NO FATHER FIGURE IN HER LIFE, AND SHE PRACTICALLY NURSING/TAKING CARE OF HER MUM, SELF-SPONSORING HER SCHOOLING WITH VIRTUALLY NO ASSISTANCE FROM ANYWHERE, SHE WAS IN PERPETUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL PAIN.

I OFFERED THAT SHE SHOULD CONSIDER CHANGE OF LOCATION, AND I EVEN OFFERED HER A PLACE TO STAY IN EKITI TO START OVER AGAIN, PROMISING TO FUND MOST OF HER EXPENSES. SHE REFUSED, INSISTING SHE COULDN’T LEAVE HER MUM. I OFFERED OTHER PLACES FOR HER TO STAY IN LAGOS, BUT FOR REASONS I WON’T DIVULGE HERE, SHE STILL COULDN’T TAKE THOSE OFFER. WE REACHED AN AGREEMENT EVENTUALLY CONCERNING WORK, FUNDING AND HOW TO HANDLE ISSUES.

FEW MONTHS INTO THAT AGREEMENT, SHE DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY. HER PHONE WAS OFF, SHE WASN’T RESPONDING TO HER WHATSAPP, AND HER FACEBOOK WAS DEACTIVATED. I BECAME EXASPERATED AFTER TRYING SO MUCH, FEARING THE WORSE AND HOPING FOR THE BEST. AFTER A WHILE, I GAVE UP. LATE LAST YEAR, SHE GOT ACROSS TO ME BRIEFLY TO TELL ME SHE WAS OKAY, BUT BEFORE I COULD GOT A HOLD OF HER AGAIN, SHE DISAPPEARED. AND I LET HER BE AGAIN, HOPING SHE WOULD GET BACK TO ME WHEN SHE IS FINE.

I WENT THROUGH HER WALLS LAST WEEK, AND I WAS SHOCKED WITH THE DARK WORDS THERE. HER WRITINGS HAVE ALWAYS, ALWAYS CARRIED A DARK THEME, AS I HAD ENCOURAGED HER TO POUR HER EMOTIONS ON PAPER THROUGH HER INK AS MOST OF US WRITERS DO WHEN WE ARE GOING THROUGH HARD TIMES. THIS WAS DIFFERENT THOUGH. ON REACHING HER WHATSAPP STATUS, I SAW OTHER ONES, SO I GOT ACROSS, KNOWING SHE WAS BACK ON WHATSAPP.

OUR CONVERSATION REVOLVED AROUND COMING BACK TO WRITING AND CONTINUATION OF HER EDUCATION, HAVING CONCLUDED OND LAST YEAR. I TOLD HER WE SHOULD CONSIDER HER CROSSING TO A DEGREE PROGRAM BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WITH HND. WE FELL RIGHT BACK INTO SMOOTH CONVERSATION, AND SHE PROMISED TO EVEN STARTED WRITING, TO GET BACK TO ME ON AN OFFER I GAVE HER. I THOUGHT SHE WAS OVER THE WORST, BUT I WAS SO CARELESS I COULDN’T SEE BEYOND THAT DEFINITE GOODNIGHT SHE SENT ME.

I’M HURTING RIGHT NOW NOT REALLY BECAUSE OF HER DEATH, BUT BECAUSE EVEN TILL HER FINAL MOMENTS, SHE WOULD BE FULL OF OPTIMISM. SHE WAS FULL OF LIFE. OF COURSE, PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT’S THE USUAL WAY SUICIDAL PEOPLE ACT, BUT I STILL CAN’T SWALLOW THAT THEORY. SHE WAS A FIGHTER, AN INCREDIBLE BULLISH ONE CONCERNING LIFE. SHE WAS A SWEET ONE.

IF SHE IS TRULY DEAD, THEN I MORN FOR AN IRREPLACEBLE LOSS TO THIS WORLD. SHE IS AT PEACE RIGHT NOW. I WISH SHE HAD DONE IT DIFFERENTLY, BUT I CAN’T SEEM TO HELP HER CHANGE HER MIND. THAT HURTS TOO. BECAUSE THIS FEELING OF NOT DOING ENOUGH TO SAVE HER STILL LINGERS..

I WON’T DWELL ON HER DEATH ANYMORE. SHE HAD TOUCHED THE LIVES OF THOSE SHE COULD AND CONCLUDED HER PART. THE HAPPY MEMORIES ARE FEW BECAUSE SHE WAS ALWAYS IN THAT DARK HOLE THAT I HAD TO BE PULLING HER OUT EVERY TIME. BUT THOSE FEW MEMORIES ARE WORTH HOLDING ON TO.

MAY SHE FIND THE PEACE THAT ELUDED HER HERE ON THE OTHER SIDE.

ONCE AGAIN TOLU, “BE GOOD, GOOD NIGHT.”

When one sets out to compile a list like the Top Ten Libertarian Rock Bands, one is faced with a few challenges:

Rock purists will object and say, “Hey, they’re not libertarian!” because most rock purists balk at libertarian ideas.

Libertarian purists will object and say, “Hey, they’re not libertarian!” because they refuse to touch with a ten-foot pole anything that could remotely violate the non-aggression principle.

There simply aren’t many outspoken libertarians in mainstream rock today.

My response is that sometimes people are libertarian by accident.  Wasn’t rock n’ roll born in an anti-establishment, anti-authority environment?  Even many leftist rock bands (i.e., nearly all rock bands) produce a lot of individual songs that could be libertarian-sympathetic, whether they are anti-war or anti-authority.

With that said, these are the top 10 libertarian rock bands, in no particular order.

1. Rush

The classic case of a libertarian band is Rush, whose influence and popularity is hard to overstate.  Rush are prog-rock royalty.  It’s hard to believe that their immense, progressive sound and musical virtuosity is produced by a mere three men.

Not only has Rush’s 40 year career made them a highly venerated rock band in general, but the main lyricist and octopus drummer, Neil Peart, was often inspired by the great classical liberal novelist, philosopher, and left-wing punching bag Ayn Rand.  That fact is apparent on several Rush songs such as The Trees (an allegory of smaller trees complaining about larger trees simply for being larger and hogging all the light), A Farewell to Kings (fairly self-explanatory), 2112 (an epic story of a dystopian future of absolute rule), Anthem (the same title as a Rand novella), and the hit Tom Sawyer (paints a picture of a rugged, Randian individualist).

2. Muse

The British-born Muse is one of the freshest, most popular art rock bands making music today.  They share several things with Rush: the same band member count, a mono-syllabic quadruple character name, as well as an affinity for “progressive” song-writing.  In addition, Muse adds a healthy dose of piano, synthesizer, pop-style melodies, and Black Sabbath-esque metal/hard rock guitar riffs.

Muse lyrics tend to be highly skeptical and critical of the established powers.  Lead singer Matthew Bellamy likes Henry George (a sort of Marxist on land-ownership, but libertarian on everything else) and “left-libertarianism”.

Looking at their music catalog, a non-aggression principle fan could find plenty with which to identify.  The 2006 album “Black Holes and Revelations” opens with a not-so-subtle attack on a political figure entitled Take a Bow.  Others like Exo-Politics, Assassin, and Knights of Cydonia have subversive/individual liberty themes.

The political rebellion increases on subsequent albums the Resistance and the 2nd Law (see the Uprising, Resistance, and Supremacy).

When we finally come to the album Drones in 2015, the civil disobedience is at fever pitch.  The album’s theme “drones” applies not only to the controversial unmanned aircraft used by the US military, but also to the idea that the average citizen or soldier could become an unthinking shell, doing whatever they’re told.  See songs like Reapers and Psycho.

3. The Kinks

You may be thinking, The Kinks?  The “You Really Got Me” band from the 60s?  That’s right, the Kinks.  It’s a little known fact that “You Really Got Me” is a subtle ode to overzealous police arrests.  While that is actually not true at all, there is a lot more to the Kinks than their biggest hit.

Much of the Kinks’ catalog is in fact dedicated to decrying the initiation of force, the welfare state, clandestine spying, or other big government woes.  There is perhaps no better example of this than “20th Century Man” on the 1971 album Muswell Hillbillies. Front-man and songwriter Ray Davies sings:

I was born in a welfare state fueled by bureaucracy

Controlled by civil servants and people dressed in grey

Got no privacy, got no liberty

‘Cause the 20th century people took it all away from me

And this was 1971.  Oh Ray, if you could see us now.  Actually, he can.  He is still living and still making music.  Hm, funny.  Anyway, there are some other libertarian gems on Muswell Hillbillies such as Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues, where Ray’s paranoia causes him to worry greatly – about things that are kinda true; and Here Come the People In Grey, a tribute to intrusive government workers.

Some other standout tracks from the Kinks on this subject would be:

Brainwashed, sung to a retired World War I vet who has grown dependent on and trusting of the powers that be

Some Mother’s Son, a beautiful, tragic ballad about men dying in war

Live Life, an exhortation to keep cool and do your own thing in spite of political upheaval and media sensationalism

Got To Be Free, an expression of longing to, well, be free

4. BackWordz

Though BackWordz is the newest band on this list, they are probably also the most outspoken and plainly libertarian.  Their mission is a sort of libertarian evangelization through the vehicle of Linkin Park-esque metal drenched in hip hop.  They are no joke, as their debut album “Veracity” charted at number 2 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.  This is remarkable for a couple reasons. The first is the fact they are an independent artist with no major label backing.  Another reason is that they are not the typical anger-infused, chest-beating hard rock band – as a sampling of their song titles shows:

Individualism, railing against collectivism and affirming the right of secession

Self-Ownership, criticizing the idea that the State can save us

Praxeology, a term developed by libertarian super-hero Ludwig von Mises, is the study of human action – has any rock band ever had Ludwig von Mises as the subject of a song?

Statism says: “I’m on a life mission to abolish all the government”

Democracy Sucks, the title says it all

One of the most radical bands to come out in a while, I look forward to seeing where BackWordz goes.  They have potential to hugely expand their audience with their high-quality production and song-writing.  Let the songs get a listener’s blood pumping first and once the lyrics start the sink in, perhaps some minds can be changed.

5. Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper is the father (not mother) of shock rock.  As his band was developing in the late 60s, Alice says:

…it was quite obvious that rock was full of idols and heroes, but there were no villains. I couldn’t find a villain in the bunch. I thought, ‘If nobody wants to play Captain Hook, I do!’

Not only did Alice Cooper cause parents with conservative values heartburn about his affinity for rebellion, horror film lore, and a creepy stage show, he might well also cause statists alarm.

He has an anti-political streak and says

I hate politics with a passion…I know people incorporate politics into rock n’ roll – and I think that the antithesis of rock n’ roll is politics. That would be like me singing the Dow Jones report.

He elsewhere says:

“If you’re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you’re a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we’re morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal.”

(Note: it’s a separate question whether or not the Washington Journal contains good ideas.)  Not only does he want his music free of politics, but he has several gems that outright attack and lampoon politicians and the whole process.  His latest album “Paranormal” especially has some politically skeptical tracks, something any libertarian could appreciate.  Some standout songs would be:

Elected, about a pompous spotlight-phile running for office

Rats, could be how the elites and rulers see the populace

Lock Me Up, a taunt to those who don’t like what Alice has to say: “You can take my head and cut it off but you ain’t gonna change my mind”

Freedom, an anti-authority anthem for freedom of expression

Private Public Breakdown, about a politician who has lost his grip of reality (soooo, all politicians; Alice possibly has Donald Trump in mind)

6. The Interrupters

Remember the late 90s?  The Mighty Mighty Bosstones were skanking all over the radio, welfare reform had been achieved, and the President of the US declared that the era of big government was over.  Congress actually passed a “balanced” budget. The correlation between ska/punk and smaller government is undeniable.  Now, that connection has reemerged in the form of the female-fronted punk band, the Interrupters.

There is a very real chance that the Interrupters have a Ron Paul sticker somewhere on their gear, because their front woman, Aimee Allen, actually wrote Ron Paul’s presidential campaign song.  As you’d expect from someone with such good taste in candidates, many of the Interrupters songs center on the ideas of liberty.

Not only are the lyrics libertarian-friendly, but the songs are just plain good songs.  Chuck Berry style guitar leads overlay no-frills punk rock songwriting with rich vocal harmonies.  The melodies and progressions are so catchy, the only way your foot won’t be tapping along is if it is tied down by some oppressive police state.  Some of my favorites are:

Liberty, a pretty straightforward lament about the rights we are losing

Babylon, uses biblical imagery, encouraging listeners to “rebel against the kings of Babylon” – even mentions money-printing to the delight of Austrians everywhere

Can’t Be Trusted, celebrating the reasons for us not to trust the authorities

Take Back the Power, a pretty transparent message

Outrage, about the tendency of people nowadays to be constantly outraged about something, anything

7. Megadeth

One of the “Big Four” in thrash metal, Megadeth are heavy metal titans who have been head-banging since 1983.  Heavy metal is a genre whose imagery is rife with libertarian sympathies: oppressive tyrants, bloody warfare, rebellion against the ruling powers, and on and on.  Megadeth takes the prize for anti-state themes in their songs, in spite of frontman and former Rick Santorum endorser Dave Mustaine being politically nonsensical sometimes. (They also take the prize for “Band Name Most Likely Created By A Middle Schooler.”)  If we can look past the Santorum misstep, Dave comes sort of close to embracing libertarianism: “I probably [am] a lot more along the lines of what a Libertarian is”.

The title track of “Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?” is a metal classic, and although it comes short of chucking the whole state apparatus, it raises some pertinent questions:

What do you mean I couldn’t be the president of the United States of America?  Tell me something.  It’s still “We the people” RIGHT?

Holy Wars decries wars of religion in which “brother kills brother.”  Symphony of Destruction chillingly warns of giving a dictator absolute control:

Take a mortal man, put him in control.  Watch him become a god, watch peoples’ heads-a-roll.

Dave and co. have really nailed it, though, on their most recent Grammy-winning album, Dystopia.  Track after track describe a tyrannical government coupled with a decaying society.  In addition, it’s right up there with Megadeth’s best albums.  The title track is about what you’d think, and includes the line “What you don’t know, the legend goes, can’t hurt you.  If you only want to live and die in a cage.”  Perhaps my favorite is The Emperor, a snarling punk outcry against the man in charge, pointing out what should be obvious (no clothes).

8. NOFX

Finding a punk band that appreciates private property is tough.  There are many who are great on criticizing the U.S. war machine (Anti-Flag, Bad Religion) or presidents with the last name Bush (Green Day).  These are noble things to be sure.  Sadly, there just are not any major punk bands that haven’t drunk the socialist Kool Aid (red Kool Aid, presumably).  NOFX is not too different in that respect.  However, they are right on several key issues: foreign policy (see We March To The Beat Of Indifferent Drum), freedom of expression (see Separation of Church and Skate), and freedom of speech (see Freedumb).  What sets NOFX over the top is their tribute to actual real libertarianism, The Plan.  In it they sing:

Call us libertarian, cause we do as we please Don’t need fear, or force, or farce to know morality Morals aren’t a substance you can shove in someone’s ear They’re basically a byproduct of, a mind thinking clear

Having come up in the 90s, it’s also refreshing that they don’t appear to buy into today’s identity politics.  Their songs are littered with rude, locker room humor, and they poke fun at all sorts of different demographics.  While this may cause some to take offense, at least NOFX do not advocate locking people in prison just for speaking.  Indeed, if the Social Justice Warriors ever take over (Lord, please no), expect to see NOFX albums at the top of the burn pile.

9. Thrice

Thrice has wandered the back alleys between the “metalcore”, “post-hardcore”, and “indie rock” sub-genres since 1998, and still going strong at the time of this writing. In a Thrice song, you can’t be sure if you might hear screaming, beautiful singing, acoustic guitar, keyboards, or face melting metal licks.  Themes of personal brokenness, relational challenges, theology, social evils, and distrust of the status quo fill lyricist/frontman Dustin Kensrue’s lyrics.  Kensrue doesn’t seem to embrace a particular political ideology, but admits “I would align with a fair amount of Libertarian stuff at times.”

You may be able to guess this from songs like “Blood on the Sand“, a condemnation of the US wars in the Middle East or “Under a Killing Moon“, a song about totalitarian leadership in search of “witches to burn.”  “Doublespeak” examines the tendency of people to not want to know the truth about “who pulls the strings.”  “Black Honey” shows the folly and futility of wars in the Middle East, comparing the US government to someone slapping a swarm of bees and wondering why they get stung.  “The Earth Will Shake” is an awesome, skull-pounding chain-gang spiritual about prisoners longing for freedom – and if the earthquake doesn’t topple the prison walls, this song will.

10. Bob Dylan

It would probably be folly to label Bob Dylan “libertarian,” as he is generally impossible to label. Dylan has unquestionably shaped popular music since the 60s.  A few years after he started playing folk, he exchanged his acoustic guitar for an electric guitar and started accompanying his beautiful, poetic, cryptic lyrics with rock music.  Outrage from many of his folk fans followed.  However, having heard this new sound, it occurred to the Beatles and every other rock band at the time that their songs didn’t have to all be about puppy love.  Dylan has taken so many forked roads in his career that no one (and perhaps not even he) can guess where he will go next.

Maybe it’s that whole “I do what I want” attitude that contributes to the streaks of liberty found in many of his songs.  Though his protest songs from the 60s are usually associated with the left, which was doing most of the protesting, libertarians can still latch on to:

Masters of War, a bleak condemnation of war profiteers

With God on Our Side, exposes the inconsistency of how cultures justify war, and who we choose for enemies and allies

Blowin’ in the Wind, his classic, hit song that asks questions like “How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?” and “How many deaths will it take ’til he knows that too many people have died?”

Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, a lament about how people often want to “stone you” for minding your own business and doing your own thing

Man of Peace, a scathing blast at politicians and people in power: “Sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.”

I Shall Be Released, a beautiful folk/gospel ballad of a prisoner looking forward in hope to his freedom

Honorable Mentions

It’s a good thing that not all of the contenders would fit in a group of 10 – we need more libertarian artists!  So here are some honorable mentions:

LEAH, an independent artist who plays fantasy/celtic influenced metal.  She has a few songs that hint at her own personal beliefs, which are libertarian.

Tatiana Moroz is a singer/songwriter with a beautiful voice who worked with the Ron Paul presidential campaigns and is active in the cryptocurrency community.

Jordan Page is a singer/songwriter who campaigned with Ron Paul.  A hard rock sound and solid, liberty-themed lyrics.

Anti-Flag is a politically radical punk band – great on anti-war and government oppression themes, but not so great on private property.  Check out “Die For Your Government” or “911 For Peace.”

Incubus is a massively popular alternative rock band who rose to fame in the 90s.  Song themes include hubris in political leaders and thinking for yourself.

Thrash metal is back, and Havok brings the liberty message along with copious amounts of hair banging around.  Give a listen to “Give Me Liberty…Or Give Me Death.”

My ego is not so great that I would dream of being near the top 10, but if you’d like to check out my own libertarian music, my song “Send In The Tanks” could be a good start.

Do you need life insurance? How should you get quotes online?

Do you need life insurance?

Note from Mr. SR: 

People tend to not enjoy talking about life insurance, but it can make a big difference for your family if you die. We will all die eventually, whether we like it or not, so it’s really a question of when and how prepared we are.

So, who needs life insurance? You should consider life insurance if other people depend on your income for their financial needs. Typically, good candidates are people with children or other dependents.

Eventually, you may be able to self-insure. Self-insuring is when you have enough money saved that even if you did die (and your family no longer had the benefit of your income), your family would be okay. This may happen later in your life as you accrue wealth and/or your children are less dependent on you.

If you do need life insurance, I enthusiastically recommend getting “term” life insurance. Term insurance has the lowest fees, and you’re not paying for other services (like investments) bundled with the insurance that are performing inefficiently. In my opinion, whole life or universal life insurance plans are borderline predatory — they’re not a good product.

With that, my friend Michael from Your Money Geek has some good information to share about getting quotes online! He specifically talks about a company called Bestow — they are a really good option for term insurance. I encourage you to consider other companies too and get quotes, but I truly do believe that Bestow offers a good product at a reasonable price.

Take it away, Michael!

Are you looking for life insurance quotes online to help you save some money?

Read on to learn how you can save money by getting an online quote.

Why It Pays to Shop Online

Recently, I was speaking with a friend who is a self-described introvert, and she was mentioning how overwhelming she found the festival she’s attending. Jokingly, I thought to myself, if you need a “bit of space” just tell everyone you’re a life insurance agent, and they will run to the exists leaving you to your solitude.

I kid, of course, but there is a bit of truth to it. Life insurance is one of the least sexy products going; people don’t want to buy it, and they really, really don’t want to talk to anyone selling it. A least, that’s been my experience working in personal finance for 20 years and maintaining an insurance license.

If you want to empty a room, say you’re there to talk about “end of life.”

Given that life insurance is such an impossibly tricky product to sell, you may wonder why I would bother with insurance at all? Well, the answer is simple. I worked primarily with middle-class people with modest incomes in an area where both salaries and cost of living were below national averages.

Simply put, my clients didn’t make tons of money. Helping them save usually involved cutting expenses as much as possible, being efficient, and even thinking outside the box. When we would review their budget, typically the client’s most significant expenses, were taxes, housing, and insurances.

You may be surprised that housing wasn’t number one, however real estate in the area is very inexpensive compared to national averages.��Downsizing the home to free up money isn’t an option when decent home prices barely break six -figures.

It’s possible we could have cut back on some hobbies and discretionary spending. However, budgeting is a lot like triage on a battlefield; you don’t fix a broken arm first when your patient is hemorrhaging. Most Americans are hemorrhaging money in the form of taxes and insurance.

So, before you spend an afternoon on the phone to save 20 dollars a month on your cable bill, it may make sense to spend that time comparison shopping your insurance policies. You could save enough money in the budget to keep date night.

Getting a Life Insurance Quote Online

The internet and technology are changing how people get their financial information and how products are sold. In the past, the only way to really get insurance quotes was to reach out to a broker, online wholesaler, and request a quote.

Today you can skip getting your quotes from an agent. Some insurers now offer a direct to consumer approach and leverage technology to reduce costs. If you prefer to bypass a broker and go the direct path our top pick is Bestow.

Bestow

Bestow promises a no-hassle process. You request a quote online in a few seconds and apply for  for a policy online without dealing with doctors, physicals, and brokers. Plans start as low as just five dollars a month.

What makes Bestow so great? For starters, you don’t have to enter a ton of personal information to receive an online quote. You can request a quote in just a few seconds, and you don’t even need to enter in your name or email to request a quote.

Of course, you will need to enter in some info if you decided to apply. However, even then you can apply for a policy without all the hassle because of Bestow pings online databases to keep their application short.

If you have been putting off trying to save money on life insurance because you don’t want to speak with an agent or fill out a bunch of forms just to get a quote Bestow offers a great solution.

Here is What You Need to Know to Cut Insurance Costs

Determine How Much you really Need.

One of the biggest reasons people overpay for insurance is not carrying the correct amount of insurance. Buying more coverage than you need is essentially wasting money. On the other hand, being underinsured may cause other financial problems.

Related to buying too much insurance, you may have too many insurance policies. Meeting with clients and doing a review of their coverages, some people would bring in five or six different policies.

Often, it is less expensive to purchase one larger policy then several small ones. Also, don’t assume the group policy at work is the most cost-effective option.

Work on Your Health

If you are currently smoking, do your best to quit. Giving up smoking will save you money in cigarettes and will reduce life and health insurance costs. Typically, for life insurance, you must be smoke-free for a few years.

However, some insurance companies will upgrade your policy to a non-tobacco rate when once you have been tobacco-free for long enough. The sooner you give up smoking, the sooner you can enjoy better insurance rates.

Get fit! Losing just ten pounds can reduce your insurance rates significantly. Losing only 10 pounds could save over three thousand dollars over twenty years. Plus, you will look and feel better, so it’s a huge win-win.

Shop Around

Insurance companies are always competing and offering new products. You should call and get quotes online from multiple insurance companies to help find the best deal.

Also, insurance pricing can be highly situational. I have seen clients get turned down for coverage and one company and offered standard and even preferred rates at another. The insurance company that saved you, co-worker, a bunch of cash, may not be the best deal for you and your family.

It’s Really About Price

Insurance companies love to brag about their A.M. Best Ratings and J.D Power and Associate Awards. However, it’s really about price. As long as you are working with highly rated insurance companies, I am not convinced there is much of a difference between an AAA-rated company and AA+ company.

I am sure the insurers or those in corporate would disagree. But as a consumer, you are not lending them billions of dollars or reinsuring them. As a consumer, you are buying a highly regulated product that is supervised by the state. So you should look for the highest-rated company at the best price.

Save Money on Life Insurance

Life insurance may not be as much fun to discuss as REITs, or how to invest your money, however, it plays an important role in a financial plan. Insurance may not be fun, but saving 50 dollars or more a month can help you keep the items you do enjoy in the budget.

How Company Culture Shapes Employee Motivation

New Post has been published on http://personalcoachingcenter.com/how-company-culture-shapes-employee-motivation/

How Company Culture Shapes Employee Motivation

DAVE WHEELER FOR HBR

In a recent strategy meeting we attended with the leaders of a Fortune-500 company, the word “culture” came up 27 times in 90 minutes. Business leaders believe a strong organizational culture is critical to success, yet culture tends to feel like some magic force that few know how to control. So most executives manage it according to their intuition.

We’ve found that answering three questions can help transform culture from a mystery to a science: 1) How does culture drive performance? 2) What is culture worth? 3) What processes in an organization affect culture? In this article, we address each of these to show how leaders can engineer high-performing organizational cultures — and measure their impact on the bottom line.

How does culture drive performance?

After surveying over 20,000 workers around the world, analyzing 50 major companies, conducting scores of experiments, and scouring the landscape of academic research in a range of disciplines, we came to one conclusion: Why we work determines how well we work.

Insight Center

One 2013 study illustrates this well. Researchers asked almost 2,500 workers to analyze medical images for “objects of interest.” They told one group that the work would be discarded; they told the other group that the objects were “cancerous tumor cells.” The workers were paid per image analyzed. The latter group, or “meaning” group, spent more time on each image, earning 10% less, on average, than the “discard” group — but the quality of their work was higher. Reshaping the workers’ motive resulted in better performance.

Academics have studied why people work for nearly a century, but a major breakthrough happened in the 1980s when professors Edward Deci and Richard Ryan from the University of Rochester distinguished the six main reasons why people work. We built on their framework and adapted it for the modern workplace. The six main reasons people work are: play, purpose, potential, emotional pressure, economic pressure, and inertia.

The work of many researchers has found that the first three motives tend to increase performance, while the latter three hurt it. We found that the companies most famous for their cultures — from Southwest Airlines to Trader Joe’s — maximize the good motives, while minimizing the bad ones.

Play is when you are motivated by the work itself. You work because you enjoy it. A teacher at play enjoys the core activities of teaching — creating lesson plans, grading tests, or problem solving how to break through to each student. Play is our learning instinct, and it’s tied to curiosity, experimentation, and exploring challenging problems.

Purpose is when the direct outcome of the work fits your identity. You work because you value the work’s impact. For example, a teacher driven by purpose values or identifies with the goal of educating and empowering children.

Potential is when the outcome of the work benefits your identity. In other words, the work enhances your potential. For example, a teacher with potential may be doing his job because he eventually wants to become a principal.

Since these three motives are directly connected to the work itself in some way, you can think of them as direct motives. They will improve performance to different degrees. Indirect motives, however, tend to reduce it.

Emotional pressure is when you work because some external force threatens your identity. If you’ve ever used guilt to compel a loved one to do something, you’ve inflicted emotional pressure. Fear, peer pressure, and shame are all forms of emotional pressure. When you do something to avoid disappointing yourself or others, you’re acting on emotional pressure. This motive is completely separate from the work itself.

Economic pressure is when an external force makes you work. You work to gain a reward or avoid a punishment. Now the motive is not only separate from the work itself, it is also separate from your identity.

Finally, inertia is when the motive is so far removed from the work and your identity that you can’t identify why you’re working. When you ask someone why they are doing their work, and they say, “I don’t know; I’m doing it because I did it yesterday and the day before,” that signals inertia. It is still a motive because you’re still actually doing the activity, you just can’t explain why.

These indirect motives tend to reduce performance because you’re no longer thinking about the work—you’re thinking about the disappointment, or the reward, or why you’re bothering to do it at all. You’re distracted, and you might not even care about the work itself or the quality of the outcome.

We found that a high-performing culture maximizes the play, purpose, and potential felt by its people, and minimizes the emotional pressure, economic pressure, and inertia. This is known as creating total motivation (ToMo).

Take, for example, an experiment conducted by Teresa Amabile at Harvard. She assembled a group of poets to write a simple short poem on the topic of laughter. Before they wrote anything, she had one group read a list of “play” reasons for being a poet (“you enjoy the opportunity for self-expression” or “you like to play with words”), and she had the other group read a list of emotional and economic pressure reasons (“you want your writing teachers to be favorably impressed with your writing talent” or “you have heard of cases where one bestselling novel or collection of poems has made the author financially secure”). She found that the play group created poems that were later deemed about 26% more creative than the poems of the pressure group. The play group’s higher total motivation made a difference when it came to performance.

What is culture worth?

Creating a business case for culture isn’t impossible. While it is difficult to measure whether someone is being creative, proactive, or resilient in the moment, it’s actually not difficult to calculate total motivation. Using six questions, one for each motive, we can compute an organization’s ToMo using very simple math (see the sidebar for the calculation) and then determine its impact on performance.

Take for example the airline industry. Players share the same terminals and use the same planes, but customer satisfaction differs widely across carriers. When we measured the total motivation of employees of four major airlines, and compared their cultures with an outcome like customer satisfaction (as measured by the ACSI / University of Michigan), we saw that an organization’s culture (as measured by ToMo) tightly predicted customer satisfaction.

In other words, cultures that inspired more play, purpose, and potential, and less emotional pressure, economic pressure, and inertia, produced better customer outcomes. We saw this play out in retail, banking, telecommunications, and the fast food industry as well. And the impact isn’t limited to customer satisfaction. In one hedge fund, the highest performing portfolio managers had higher total motivation. And in one retail organization we worked with, we found that the difference between a low-ToMo and high-ToMo sales associate was 30% in revenues.

What processes in an organization affect culture?

We have asked thousands of managers how they would define a high-performing culture. Most don’t have a great definition. So here is one: Culture is the set of processes in an organization that affects the total motivation of its people. In a high-performing culture, those processes maximize total motivation. When we measured how different processes affect employees’ total motivation, we learned a couple things:

There is no silver bullet. Many processes affect people’s ToMo at work. By surveying thousands of US workers, we measured how much the elements of a workplace — from how a job is designed to how performance is reviewed — affect ToMo.

What the chart shows is that while we tend to think that leadership matters most to motivation, other processes can have an even bigger impact. The x-axis shows the ToMo scale (which goes from -100 to 100). The grey bars represent the range to which each process affects an employee’s total motivation, as gathered from survey responses. For example, how a role is designed can swing total motivation by 87 points. A badly designed role results in ToMo scores as low as almost -40, whereas a well designed role can result in a ToMo as high as almost 50. That’s huge, given that in many industries, the most-admired cultures tend to have 15 points higher ToMo than their peers.

Some companies make special efforts to design a highly motivating role. Toyota encourages play by giving factory workers the opportunity to come up with and test new tools and ideas on the assembly line. W. L. Gore & Associates gives people free time and resources to develop new ideas. And Southwest Airlines encourages their people to treat each customer interaction as play — perhaps you’ve seen how some flight attendants have turned boring safety announcements into comedy sketches.

The next most sensitive element is the identity of an organization, which includes its mission and behavioral code. For example, Medtronic enables its engineers and technicians to see the medical devices they’ve made in action, so that they can see the purpose of their work. The Chief Talent Officer at UCB Pharmaceuticals told us how he recently started inviting patients to executive meetings, so the people making decisions can see how their work makes a difference. And a Walmart executive told us that he kicked off management meetings by reviewing how much money his division had saved customers—rather than how much money Walmart had made.

The third most sensitive element is the career ladder in an organization. Recently, many companies have concluded that their system of evaluating their people, which drives the promotion process, tends to destroy performance. Systems where employees are stack-ranked or rated against each other will increase emotional and economic pressure, reducing total motivation and thus performance. As a result, companies from Microsoft to Lear are moving away from performance review systems that foster unhealthy competition.

Culture is an ecosystem. The elements of culture interact with and reinforce each other. One example is sales commissions. In general, we found that having a sales commission decreases the ToMo of an individual. However, if that individual also believes that their work materially helps their customers, the commission increases their ToMo. This makes sense through the lens of total motivation: if you don’t believe in what you’re doing, the commission becomes your motive. That’s low-ToMo. If you do believe in what you’re doing, the commission is gravy. It may even help you track your progress, increasing play. That’s high-ToMo.

What leaders can do

Looking at all these processes together, it’s clear that culture is the operating system of an organization. Senior leaders can build and maintain a high-performing culture by teaching managers to lead in highly motivating ways. For example, one study of bank branch managers showed that offering high-ToMo leadership training led to a 20% increase in credit card sales and a 47% increase in personal loan sales. CEOs should make a business case for culture (with a budget) and enlist HR and business leaders to improve the elements that affect culture, from role design to performance reviews.

Even without redesigning processes, however, team leaders can start improving the total motivation of their employees by:

Holding a reflection huddle with your team once a week. Teams we’ve worked with hold an hour-long huddle once a week in which each person answers three questions directed at encouraging: 1) Play: What did I learn this week? 2) Purpose: What impact did I have this week? And 3) Potential: What do I want to learn next week?

Explaining the why behind the work of your team. One executive at a retail store told us she often introduced a new project by saying, “We have to do this because Linda [the boss] asked for it.” This was motivating through emotional pressure, which was hurting her team’s performance. So she started explaining why a project would help the customer instead.

Considering how you’ve designed your team’s roles. Does everyone have a space to play? Think about where people should be free to experiment and make that clear. For example, a Starbucks manager told us that he lets each employee experiment with how they connect to each customer, and a bank manager we worked with said he encourages people to suggest process improvements. Then ask if everyone has the opportunity to witness the impact of their work, and think about what might help them build a stronger purpose. Finally, find out where each team member would like to be in two years — and come up with a plan to help their reach their potential.

A great culture is not easy to build — it’s why high performing cultures are such a powerful competitive advantage. Yet organizations that build great cultures are able to meet the demands of the fast-paced, customer-centric, digital world we live in. More and more organizations are beginning to realize that culture can’t be left to chance. Leaders have to treat culture building as an engineering discipline, not a magical one.

Get Your Writing Fighting Fit reveals the inside information professional editors know about how to approach the editing task. Written for today’s writer, it provides both timeless information about how readers approach hard copy text and up-to-date information about how reading from a screen is different. Important information in simple language finally puts self-editing within your reach. Keep in mind that “editing” is not “writing”. “Editing” is what enhances our “writing”. Before editing can do you a blimey bit of good, you need to start with solid writing. Your idea needs to be there, composed in reasonable sentences and paragraphs. Then put your own writing through Audrey’s great seven step editing process and Bingo! You’ve got a great piece of prose.” Dear Writer,I know how it feels to worry about your writing and not know where to find help.I write myself, and as an editor, I work with writers like you all the time.I decided to extend the help I give writers by writing out the solutions to the most common problems writers have and making them available to you.Now my ebook helps writers to help themselves with those very real concerns about whether a text is good enough. “I have finally made it through GYWFF. I love it! You know how much I want to become a good writer and this book certainly helps. Why? Because it’s about editing, not writing. While reading it I realized that it’s okay to make mistakes while writing, because you can always go back and fix them. Sounds silly, but for an anal engineer like me it’s almost a revelation. Even though I’ve always known that I don’t have to get it right in the first draft, GYWFF reinforces the point. Now I can relax while writing and enjoy the process a little more.” –Bill Drago, East Islip, NY loving-long-island.com. When I began to share sections of the text as I was creating the book, the writers were thrilled.Before I get into the details, let me introduce myself.My name is Audrey Owen. I’ve loved words since I was a wee mite who slept in a crib. At two I reeled off nursery rhymes. As a child, I read for hours curled up in the big green stuffed chair. In University, I studied English literature. As an adult, I taught both native English-speaking children and preservice ESL teachers how to use language to best advantage. My natural love of language and my habit of asking how and why writing works the way it does or how and why it misses the mark caught the attention of peers and a professor of writing.With their encouragement, I began to edit formally.Within the editing community, I’ve set myself apart by offering an educative edit that shows readers not only what needs to change, but why.The response from my clients gives me daily confidence in the value of what I have to share.So, just how will you benefit from my skill and experience?You need a competitive edge. . . “An excellent read, it’s going to be really helpful to me when I have to write things for my employer. “I found the parts about paring paragraphs really useful.” –Lesley Pinkett, Otter St Mary, England You probably know that only one in ten submitted manuscripts gets even a first read at a publishing house. That manuscript is error-free and written in a compelling style. You face an uphill battle against the idea that all self-published material is second-rate. The idea has a solid foundation in reality. To overcome the prejudice, self-publishers who want sales must be better than the rest. Your words form your image as much as your power suit does. Within your business, you need your communications to be clear and concise. Time is money and confusion can lose you significant money.When you write to clients, you need to be compelling as well as clear. Know this: Your instructors would not read most papers unless they were paid to do so. I’ve marked enough university-level assignments to know the effect of writing that makes a clear point in an interesting way. Make no mistake, you do need to be making a good point to get a good grade. But if you are teetering between a B+ and an A, showing yourself to be articulate will tip the balance. You write for a different breed of reader than those who write for hard copy publication. Not only do you need to know the rules for hard copy writing, but you also need to know what makes reading from a computer screen different and how to help your reader through your message. Yes, Get Your Writing Fighting Fit removes the guesswork from your self-editing. No more wandering aimlessly through your text. Follow a system to fully check for the most common errors. Briefly, Get Your Writing Fighting Fit gives you a system for editing your own work. It removes the mystery from what an editor does with your text, so you can do it yourself.That’s right, you can edit yourself!

Even if you go on to hire a professional editor, your editing costs will be lower because the editor can use a lighter hand. Time is money, and the less the editor has to change, the less you should be paying for your edit. You will stop worrying and write with confidence. With a system in place for editing, you can focus on your ideas as you write. You will get fast results. Good editors usually have a desk piled with work. When you can edit your own writing, you can work to your own schedule. You will never have to pay rush fees again. You take control of your own written expression. When you become adept at fixing your own writing problems, you say what you want to say with certainty. Your writing moves you to the top of the pile. Whether you are dealing with a publisher’s slush pile, a professor’s pile of assignments, or the dog pile of competition in the office, writing with clarity moves you to the top. You will discover how easily you can edit your own work. A checklist keeps you focused on one task at a time. You can rest easy that your written work is as good as it can be. When you are done, you are done. You won’t be longing to reach into the mail box to retrieve your manuscript, letter, or assignment. You can move on to your next task. “I just downloaded your new e-book and read it front-to-back. I love it. It’s all substance. Very useful. You’re now an important part of my metamorphosis as a writer.” –Charles Tutt Columbia, MO, USAchar When I started using a system like the one I have put into Get Your Writing Fighting Fit, I was impressed by how relaxed I became about the whole process. I use this system on my own writing and on the writing of my clients.Writers who have used Get Your Writing Fighting Fit speak highly of it.

I have progressed to yet another realm less than  500 years ago but I am able to adjust my vibration to still communicate with you and impart very encouraging and vital information as you may remember our communication when I progressed in the year 3000 and once again in the year 3500 in earth time. As your future higher self in a Heaven Afterlife I am writing to applaud you for keeping your sleeptime dream secret that you had less than 19 hours ago as it is very personal and private and you must do so for karmic reasons and for being considerate. I am in a celestial laboratory of that sleeptime dream as it is you know a celestial replica of one of your scripts from last year and the setting was used. Needless to say you woke up feeling extremely happy and full of passion that you wisely and lovingly  channeled to your husband less than 8 hours later.  You want me to tell you the meaning of that sleeptime dream as you understandably have many answers. As your future higher self one of your male spirit guides standing near a green orange and purple mountain less than 3 yards away is politely and telepathically sending me a message to avoid even elaborating on the details of the dream both for your protection, to protect both your critics and allies who may be wondering, and yes even celestial spirits who were overseeing that sleeptime dream you were having to fulfill their role in good luck building and privacy protecting. As your future higher self residing in a heaven afterlife, I at least have a choice to disclose to you to remember the date you looked up today of where the setting of that sleeptime dream matched up for important clues on what you are meant to be doing in your life. Yes, I understand why that sleeptime dream even played with your mind when it came to your Norfolk Virginia plans and as a result you delayed starting Norfolk Virginia entries because of the way that sleeptime dream made you feel. On a positive note that sleeptime dream made it safe and positive celestial confirmation that it is ok for you to be the sensual woman that you are even when well meaning and some of the most popular spiritual people have strong opinions of your sensuality. For your protection and to protect other earth based spirits the only other detail I can share as your future higher self in a heaven afterlife is that yes this sleeptime dream confirmed why it is actually vital and helpful to continue to channel me despite what is said about your emotional state. Three of your heaven spirit ally team members tried to tell you it is ok to keep talking to me but you needed a passionate reminder that is going to be etched in your memory for the rest of your lifetime for why it is ok to continue to channel me. On a positive note this means that it is ok for you to continue with listening to many of the sensual songs that you passionately love as many of them actually help your creativity and even help you access the same intuitive faculties to help you tap into both your intuition and logic in various areas of your life intuitive, logical etc. As your future higher self in a heaven afterlife, I am gathered near one of the celestial concerts being organized in less than 3 minutes of your earth time as I also look into your akashic records that also recorded the connection between part of what you saw in your sleeptime dream less than 20 hours ago and the connection from a previous law of attraction script and future higher self in a heaven afterlife communication that you wrote. This memorable connection (the connection between what you saw in your sleeptime dream and what you wrote online in one of your past law of attraction scripts and future higher self in a heaven afterlife memoirs) was meant to be etched in your mind that your online writing especially when channeled from your true sensual nature contains more creativity and imagination power than you initially realized.

[mermaid20348209]

Character questions:

What is your full name? Benjamin Arthur Jacobs.

Do I have a pet or nickname? No. 

What do I like about my name? I like the warmth of it. I enjoy writing it down on paper; there’s a lovely combination of letters. 

What history does it have? I was named Benjamin after my grandfather. A military man whom my father respected highly and saw as his role model. I notice a lot of similarities between them. 

What is my age? 18. 

How does it relate to my spirit? I am relentlessly curious as young people are and have many questions related to life, most without answers. I am fearful and worried however, I lack security and feel uncertain about my future. I think too much for my age, mostly about my own existence; arguably I don’t have enough distractions for my age, I have too much time. 

How does it relate to my experience of life? I’ve served in the army which is normal for people of royalty. I deal with matters of importance on a daily basis and my opinion is valued highly. Considering I’m only eighteen, it’s strange how protected and restricted I am. I have access to luxury and money has always been readily available. I don’t have a job but feel responsible for the country, which I’m told relies on my authority. 

What is your placement in your family? I’m not noticed so much within my family. I’m loved but my mother  is awkward when expressing this, seeing it as something I should know and not mention. My father never tells me he loves me. I have a lot to learn being the future king, and so discipline and duty are what I focus on - these two qualities make my father proud of me. 

What is your present martial status? Single.

How does this affect or influence you? I’ve never had a girlfriend because of my identity as a prince; it’s hindered my social skills and I find it difficult to present myself naturally paranoid of tainting my families name. I’m indifferent to marriage, knowing that my mother will likely choose a wife for me. Hopefully she’ll be a good listener. 

What is your greatest responsibility? My duty to the army; as a soldier on the field, boosting morale and demonstrating patriotism. 

Where do I live? I live in Buckingham Palace. 

Do I consider it home? Why? I do consider the palace home. I have fond memories of playing in the garden and swimming in the lake. I used to have friends from nursery whom I grew up with and were often invited to the palace to keep me company. As I grew older however, my role as a prince took priority over fun and games. 

Do you enjoy social life? 

I find it tedious and predictable. There’s no satisfaction or emotional release anymore. I don’t gain any useful knowledge from the kinds of conversation people my age are used too; there’s no opinions or trivia that can lessen the burden of my heavy future.

What is my most comfortable social mix? I do find it peaceful to sit in the most favoured living room of the palace and listen to my mother and father chat; they use words I’ve not heard before, talk of situations in far away lands and how to solve them. They are proactive and make me as though I have a place among them, being a prince and all. 

What is your profession? I’m an officer in the army. 

How does it affect your social status? When I’m serving in the army, I’m just one of the guys. No one treats me any different. and that equality is extremely liberating. I get along with the guys I serve with, we’re both used to the anticipation the army places on you and so keeping alert naturally bonds people. I’m sometimes teased about being a prince, but I’d rather that than be taken seriously for every slight utterance. 

 How does it affect your mental health? I hate the contrast between the army and the palace. Fighting on the front lines, there’s never a dull moment. You have to be focused and adrenaline filled. I’m taken away from the safety and comfort I’ve been raised in and placed into situations where only primal instinct matters. This kind of simplicity is vanquished as soon as I’m home. I’m treated like a hero even though from my perspective it’s the friends that died, who sacrificed themselves who should be named so. I am back to pacing the garden grounds, eating expensive meals and having far too much time to think. 

How does it affect your physical being? I am athletic and fit thanks to the army. When I’m at home however it just feels unnatural to exercise. My mindset prioritises literature and the imagination over push-ups. 

What kind of education did I have? I was educated at Eden College. It’s a prestigious school with a high quality of learning. I was well provided for. 

Vocal qualities? I took fencing classes, and also I also developed a liking for climbing the school buildings - against the rules of course. I still do enjoy climbing around the palace at home. There’s a lot of secrets there that people would never find. 

Qualities of movement? I lead with my chest, confident and controlled. When I’m under stress however I tense up and start to press, like the effort action.

Humour? What kind? I’m quite witty but also childish and enthusiastic when I want to be, like when I play pretend with the mermaid. 

What is your laugh like? It’s warm and hearty. 

Energy and vitality? I’m energetic when the situation arises. If I want something, I’ll often raise my voice and gesture more freely, without care. 

Temperament? I’m used to getting what I want, although I don’t like feeling this way. If I can see an opportunity to intimidate someone, I’ll sometimes take it. I don’t have a temper however, patience is a great virtue. 

Intellectual thought process? My thought process is based off of the teachings my books have offered me. I question people and their actions morally, but I also ask myself whether I’d do the same thing - I hate being a hypocrite. I like to take control of conversations instead of listening. I have a slight fear of being controlled by people in conversation, just like I’m controlled in life. 

General efficiency? I’m efficient at most life skills; I can cook my own food, wash my own clothes, although rarely do people understand why I’d rather do these things myself. I don’t like being treated like I’m famous. I know I am but I want to be well equipped for life. “As if this life didn’t render one ill equipped for everything”.

State of health? I’m healthy physically, however I often get headaches from thinking and stressing too much. I also had Frostnip once from spending to much time in the lake and then returning to the warmth of the palace right after. 

How sexual, sensual? I don’t care for sex although I am curious about it. I’ve never had it. I also do not see why people waste time being sensual. It’s self indulgent. There’s bigger problems in the world and while I value love for the togetherness it brings, there’s so much romanticism to it that all ‘love’ really is these days is a commercial nightmare. People buy each other presents and talk on phones instead of sitting in the park completely vulnerable to the threat that is conversation. 

How sensitive/aware? I am aware of myself and others behaviour. I like to be as it keeps me in the moment. I like to observe anything of interest and unless I’m learning something, I often find it hard t ease my mind. I’m sensitive about my existence, often I cause myself misery late at night as I think of death and whether I’ll see anyone again when I die. I’m certainly not religious. 

State of confidence? I’m confident within the palace however, I don’t like going out too much plus it’s mostly a hassle getting permission to go beyond the square. I’m confident in from of those I know respect me, sometimes I’ll question why that is in my mind, halfway through a conversation. 

What physical impression do you give? I’m not imposing whatsoever, it’s my role as a prince which gives me prowess, and people are naturally weary of saying the wrong thing to me. I don’t like this and feel like I should lessen their worries so I’ll try and communicate in a casual way. My wit does sometimes get the better of me and in a horrible way I enjoy watching people squirm now and again.. 

Ambition - short, medium, long term? I want to learn as much as I can about the world before I’m forced into ruling a country. I want to be a great role model but first must become that role model. I want to be loved by all, feared by my enemies but I also want to be at peace deep down, I want to write books and live in an imaginary world where I’m not a prince. It’s difficult. 

Biggest fear? My biggest fear would be being responsible for another’s death. 

Belief in God? I don’t believe in God, even though I should do. My parents think that I do, but every time I pray for the well being of others, nothing has happened. I have rarely prayed for myself - I don’t deserve divine guidance. I’m already powerful and rich. 

What would I do if I inherited a fortune? I’d add it to the rest and ignore it. 

What would I do if I was £10,000 in debut? I would ask my parents to pay it off for me and make sure to never be in such a situation again. 

Worst thing you’ve ever done? I granted permission for children to be hung from a tree, simply because they asked us soldiers for sweets. I had been under huge pressure to show allegiance to the army and the children had broken a law. 

Best thing you’ve ever done? I saved up my pocket money over two years and ended up with £3000. I then donated it all to charity, the soldiers with PTSD foundation. 

Care over personal appearance? No, people care too much about that for me, I don’t have the effort to outmatch them. 

Are you vain? No, I hate vanity. I want to be equal. I had a dream once that I was homeless on the streets, but it wasn’t a nightmare. 

Which season best represents you? Autumn, for that is when the world slows down and encourages patience and thoughtfulness. We see death and deterioration in its splendour and unlike my mother, nature doesn’t seem to fear ageing; it’s appearance is shown off, not hidden under layers of makeup and insecurity. 

What would you compromise for the sake of an easy life? I’d risk it all, my life even. That’s why I enjoy the army. I relish simplicity. 

What would I do if I had the weekend to myself? I never have had that, but I suppose I’d take a train somewhere, in disguise, with a hoodie on. I’d go down o the beach and play on the arcades and swim in the sea - I’d watch children play and envy their freedom. I’d buy sweets and drink cheap coffee. I’d read in a park and savour the company of the general public, the ones I care for. 

Favourite topic of conversation, least favourite? Talking about existence, no matter what the view on it is, fascinates me. I see nothing as spiritually important as questioning our life on this earth. How did it come to be? Science or religion? Or maybe neither. From the topic of existence stems how we exist with each other, and from that thousands of countless discussions. I don’t have anyone to discuss these topics with unfortunately. My least favourite topic of conversation would be marriage. It’s just not important! I’m expected to be interested in woman I’ve never heard of, and when I am told about them, it’s not their personality my mother shows off but their family background and appearance. 

Would you like to be remembered after your death? Only if I’d done enough to deserve it. I’d want to feel satisfied with myself most of all, content. Whether I’m remembered for what I’ve done with myself or not, doesn’t matter, it’s what I’d have done to be remembered that matters. If it was something that saved thousands of lives, I’d be proud of myself. 

Most embarrassing circumstances to be found? Often I have to represent the king or queen when they are away. I meet different people of high esteem and I must put on a facade of politeness and courtesy. Then I have to engage in conversation with them when the majority of the time, I’ve not a clue what they’re yammering on about. 

Situations in life you find most boring/stimulating? I find small talk dull and irreverent. I also dislike so called important meetings that I find myself in, that I have to attend. The lack of passion people speak with disturbs me and makes me want to run away. The world needs passion. It needs imagination. I find being caught by the press quite exciting because it allows me the opportunity to give my opinion on a world or country issue. It gives me a voice. I don’t express my personal opinion however, just what I’ve been taught to say. But there’s the opportunity, and that’s what gives me the thrill. 

Secret dreams and desires? Sometimes I used to dream about being a cat. Cats just wander with no tension whatsoever, until its needed. They’re the opposite of me; I’m tense when I shouldn’t be, relaxed when I should be. I desire to be ‘normal’. But I don’t know what that is, I’ve never been exposed to such a word. It isn’t meant for me. The lifestyle of the general public, the lower class, it’s something I’d like to experience, get a taste of. However It’ll never be. 

Confidence in future experience/success? I’m confident that I’ll make a fine soldier if I am allowed to go back more often. I’m not confident that I’ll make a good ruler however. I don’t understand my own people. 

Happiness? I’m not happy. I’m never satisfied and always thinking about what’s right, what’s wrong. In short, I live physically secure but couldn’t be more the opposite mentally. 

What qualities/circumstances do I like/envy in my closest friend? There’s a man named William who I patrol with in the army. He doesn’t care about me being a prince. He’s the least judgemental person in the world. He doesn’t even care about good or evil! He pities out enemies and values them as brave - he thinks we’re just the same as them from their perspective. I don’t know how he manages to fire bullets at them with that attitude. He’s completely without hatred. I can’t say the same. I have to pretend that they’re inferior.

About Mens Diamond Rings

Diamond hip hop jewelry additionally known as "iced out jewelry" or "bling jewellery" arose from the cultural phenomenon of "Hip Hop" or "Rap" music.
