So let us look for beauty and grace, for love and friendship, for that which is creative and birth-giving and soul-stretching. Let us dare to laugh at ourselves, healthy, affirmative laughter. Only when we take ourselves lightly can we take ourselves seriously, so that we are given the courage to say, “Yes! I dare disturb the universe.”

Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

Unless a man has talents to make something of himself, freedom is an irksome burden. Of what avail is freedom to choose if the self be ineffectual? We join a mass movement to escape individual responsibility, or, in the words of the ardent young Nazi, “to be free from freedom.” It was not sheer hypocrisy when the rank-and-file Nazis declared themselves not guilty of all the enormities they had committed. They considered themselves cheated and maligned when made to shoulder responsibility for obeying orders. Had they not joined the Nazi movement in order to be free from responsibility?

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 2, ch. 5, § 26 (1951)

True freedom isn’t perfection or endless options it’s living in alignment

I think, after one year, it is time for a short update on my to-undo-list:

[X] Twitter/X --> Mastodon
[X] Facebook --> none (don't need one)
[X] Instagram --> Pixelfed
[X] Reddit --> none (don't need one)
[X] Windows --> Linux
[X] WhatsApp --> Signal/Threema/Matrix
[X] Amazon --> nearly every other online shop
[ ] Google (regarding Android)
[X] PayPal (not deleted, but reduced to 1%)

Tomorrow I will start the migration to #GrapheneOS
If succesful it will conclude a 3 year journey of #SelfLiberation for me.

We can organize for our collective liberation as we liberate ourselves from the prisons of our own minds. Follow #HopeCore and #Lightworkers5D - we are all related, and our indigenous ancestors have already given us the tools for #SelfLiberation. Free your mind and your ass will follow. All One.

Pure consciousness is spotless, formless, and prior to intellect. If you have contact with consciousness, even for a moment, you are liberated. All existence is particular. Only being is universal. Existence is clash. Being, never. In being there is silent peace. 🙏❤️‍🔥🙏 #SelfLiberation
