“The accidents of any act of love, such as its protagonist and their peculiarities of expression on whatever plane, are totally immaterial to the magical import of the act. Each person is responsible to himself, being a star, to travel in his own orbit, composed of his own elements, to shine with his own light, with the colour proper to his own nature, to revolve and to rush with his own inherent motion, and to maintain his own relation with his own galaxy in its own place in the Universe. His existence is his sole and sufficient justification for his own matter and manner.” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/06/04/the-accidents-of-any-act-of-love-such-as-its-protagonist-and-their-peculiarities-of-expression-on-whatever-plane-are-totally-immaterial-to-the-magical-import-of-the-act-each-person-is-responsible/ #aleisterCrowley #beingAStar #book #colour #composed #eachPerson #elements #existence #galaxy #inTheUniverse #inherentMotion #justification #liberAlVelLegis #light #maintain #manner #matter #nature #NewComment #orbit #place #proper #quote #Relation #responsible #revolve #rush #shine #Sole #sufficient #TheBookOfTheLaw #toHimself #travel

Petition!
End #donkey and #mule #exploitation in #Santorini
Since 2018, the #animalwelfare organisation @peta Germany and its #international #entities have been active for donkeys and mules who are #exploited as #living #taxis and #tourist #attractions on the #Greek #island of Santorini.
I was shocked to learn that these #animals are still forced to #suffer despite the international #outcry against their #abuse. The images from 2018 clearly show that the equines were #exposed to the scorching sun and did not have #sufficient #food, #water, or #shade. Every day, these donkeys and mules are used to carry sometimes #extremely #heavy tourists as live taxis. The #animalhandlers often hit them with #woodensticks and the tourists themselves abuse them by kicking their stomachs.

FINGREEN is being developed under the auspices of the SISU project, which seeks to develop solutions for #sustainable and #sufficient #economy in #Finland. Interesting and important research! sisu-stn.fi/en/

Sufficiency solutions for a resilient, green, and just Finland (SISU)

Contemporary societies are dependent on economic growth. In the future, however, this growth is likely to be very limited. Furthermore, decoupling economic growth from increasing environmental harm has not proven to be easy so far. The SISU research project identifies widely acceptable sufficiency solutions that will ensure that green transition and basic welfare state promises can be realized even in conditions where the economy does not grow or where growth is minimal.

‘Enough is the key’
"CEO of Enactus summarised concept into only one word (“enough”) & it means tt it is #sufficient to survive & contribute according to one’s own capacity. In reality, #consumerism leads people to consume more than enough.. “following predicted #degradation of our planet, why aren’t we already protecting it more to secure survival for ours & future generations? ask ourselves what really is sufficient for us & for our #economy to create #sustainability”"🧐
