Years ago, at a dark and chaotic time in my life, I set forth with an intentional and drastic aim: to find stillness, purity, and clarity at any cost. Through a sigil and series of magical working, I committed myself to a process of purification that would strip away everything unneeded and bring me to a place of true stillness—no matter the brutality of the path. And in that dedication, divine grace took hold absolutely, a guiding force that has been at work ever since.
Pain and stillness, two forces that often terrify, have here became teachers. The forced stillness that came with my injury offered lessons that my relentless former pace would have obscured. This injury grounded me, confining me to a silence that at times was unbearable. I found myself face-to-face with boredom, fear, full pain spectrum up to 10, and the raw brutality of feeling and not-feeling—each state an aspect of transformation.
Where once I was numb, sensation is now returning, and with it, an understanding of feeling itself as something miraculous. My journey from numbness to presence has brought an awareness that the familiar rhythms of life often obscure. To feel pain, to struggle within it, and to gradually heal through it—these experiences have shown me the value of sensation, however harsh.
Above all, I am profoundly grateful for divine grace, which has sustained me in every moment of this process. The slow but steady return of feeling, the gradual improvement that now seems possible, all attest to a higher hand guiding even the hardest moments. Through this journey, I have gained the chance to understand, in stillness, what truly matters. And that is a gift beyond measure.
Seeing that most people do not think Andrew Tate should be taken off social media, I'd like to know exactly where y'all draw the line on free speech. Or there should be no line?
Andrew Tate has been removed from multiple social media platforms for "spreading hate"
this situation is one of those in which the line between free speech and speech that incites violence, hate, and maltreatment of certain groups is blurred what do you think?
