bookmark_borderFound: Nothing is Original

Posted on by savethesavages

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.

Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery – celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to.”

– Jim Jarmusch

And I wish I had thought of it. Except my perverted side is hidden, controlled and professional.

Some more ramblings

Due to my introverted nature, I actually don’t talk all that much. And if I DO talk, it’s because I’m comfortable and we’re friends. Which is why I haven’t conquered the phoneseggs space yet. I’ve taken a few calls, made some money BUT something’s holding me back. And I can’t seem to want to naturally just pickup the phone and talk. Maybe because the callers themselves have expectations? Which puts pressure on me to give them the best experience so they won’t leave a bad review, which in turn lowkey stresses me tf out, which then puts me in freeze mode. At least with cam, I show up and be myself and whoever is there will tip me for what they want. Then it’s over. Also with certain phoneseggs platforms, I have to bid to be seen among hundreds of other listings.

I am stepping out of my comfort zone…soon. Fingers crossed.

Posted on by savethesavages

When I was practicing crystal healing on people, the way my teacher taught it was to work with their chakras by placing corresponding crystals and stones on the body while also pointing high frequency crystals such as Quartz on these chakra / acupuncture points on the body – thus facilitating healing energy.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘wheel’ or ‘disc’. They are spinning energy centers in the body which process subtle energy and convert it into chemical hormonal and cellular changes in the body.

Each of the chakra relates to different levels of consciousness, developmental stages of life, emotions, thoughts, colors, sounds, body functions and much more. In order to bring more harmony to our entire system, subtle energy healing and/or vibrational medicine tries to assist the individual in bringing the chakras into balance when they are blocked or overactive.

There appear to be seven major chakras, each associated with a major nerve plexus and a major endocrine gland. They are situated in a vertical line ascending from the base of the spine to the head.

The lowest, called the root chakra, is near the coccyx.
The second is located near the spleen.
The third or solar plexus chakra lies in the upper middle abdomen below the tip of the sternum.
The fourth, also known as the heart chakra, can be found in the midsternal region directly over the heart and thymus gland.
The fifth or throat chakra is situated in the neck near the Adam’s apple.
The sixth or brow chakra is in the region of the mid-forehead and
the seventh or crown chakra is located on top of the head.

More random memes and stuff pulled down from my phone. I’m trying to clean it up manually.

“Someone asked me, “Aren’t you worried about the state of the world?” I allowed myself to breathe and then I said, “What is most important is not to allow your anxiety about what happens in the world to fill your heart. If your heart is filled with anxiety, you will get sick, and you will not be able to help.”” -Thich Nhat Hanh

Kawaii Baphomet

I was religious growing up. Those who know my past know that I was made to go to church and participate in church activities. Heck, I even highlighted and wrote all over the bible I had. Oh and I also was painting graffiti at the time.

Do not be scared of the word “entity” – depending on your personal beliefs, an imagined creature or ghost could be an entity. So could a thought form, or the many contradicting thoughts inside your mind. Remember, the all is mind.

For those who are simply ‘sitting’ behind the computer – we are thinking about everything and nothing all at once. It gets exhausting.
