A #Missouri #father #evolves as his #trans #daughter faces #challenges. ‘It was like a #wakeupcall’

Before his daughter's #suspension for using the #girlsbathroom at her #highschool, the #bullying and #suicideattempts, before she #droppedout, #DustyFarr admitted he avoided the #LGBTQ+ community, calling himself a full-on #bigot.

How a father of a trans daughter pushes past his prejudice

Dusty Farr used to be someone else. Before his transgender daughter was suspended after using the girls’ bathroom at her Missouri high school. Before the bullying and the suicide attempts. Before she dropped out. Before he filed a lawsuit. Before all that, he was in his own words “a full-on bigot.” Now, he has found himself in the unlikely role of fighting bathroom bans that have proliferated at the state and local level in recent years. He explains it this way: “When it was my child, it just flipped a switch. And it was like a wake-up.”

Dear Friends of #Shrines, #altars and #Magick,

My latest podcat, just over 5 minutes …
https://audio.com/lobster/audio/shrine

One of the things I did not cover … oops … is a #secular or #Atheist ‘shrine’. For example with images of #Jung, favoured #scientists such as the inventor of #apples and #light splitters Sire Isaac Newton.
That sort of thing. Maybe some numbers or favoured #algorithms etc.

This is what the AI says about it
“The process of setting up a shrine or altar. Explain the #simplest form of a shrine is based on personal comfort and #tradition. They give #examples of setting up a shrine to #deities in Hinduism and #Pagan traditions. The speaker mentions using #water, #incense, #flowers, and images of the deity on the shrine. They mention different ways of doing #rituals, depending on the individual’s beliefs. The speaker also explains that over time, more things can become a shrine, such as the #kitchen or specific #areas with #reminders of #practices or people. They mention using #virtual shrines on #computers and finding #patterns or #resonance with the deity or #qualities everywhere. The speaker emphasizes that everything can become a shrine and that the process #evolves over time.”

#Human #Consciousness #Evolves from #HoldingSpace for #HigherFrequencies of #Being - being lost in the #Ego of the #Mind is #Subjugation to the #Projection of #Self

Holding space for higher frequencies of #Light allows the consciousness of #Spirit your #Spiritual consciousness to grow

It takes conscious #Experiences of your spirit to learn to #Discern what spirit is. If you are self imprisoned in your mind you will lack those experiences.
