I found this out many years ago after a loss. Every child you create and carry, floods your body with their DNA, to help your body grow them.
And some papers even suggest that that DNA helps the next one too. So if you've lost a child, that child is still with you, in some way, always. X
I mentioned a random brand of dog food in a private conversation. 10 minutes later, I had an ad for it. It’s not a coincidence, and it’s not magic.
Your phone is "shadow-logging" your life through 5 specific settings you’ve likely never touched.
Here is how to stop the eavesdropping:
First video I found to learn self-neck massage.
Used at my worst health back in 2017-19.
First few times doing noticed it helped. But took months to uncover hidden corners of my neck that were knotted/tight.
Like any skill, expect more results if you persist.

Fun fact: every time you look at a clock, you are using a 4,000 year old idea. The reason we have 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour comes from ancient Babylonian mathematics, not modern science.
The Babylonians chose 60 because it is incredibly practical. Sixty can be divided cleanly by many numbers at once, like 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, and more.
In a world without calculators, decimals, or advanced algebra, this made fractions easy to work with, especially for trade, astronomy, and measurement.
When later civilizations studied the sky, navigated oceans, and measured land, they kept this system because it already worked efficiently. That is why 60 seconds, 60 minutes, and 360 degrees survived thousands of years.
Not because it was ancient, but because it was optimal.
whenever I’m trying to plan the future I find it helpful to do an exercise where I break things into three columns “What I feel” (all of the conflicting things I feel) “What I know” (facts of the case, my past pattern of behavior, true things about everyone involved) and “What I want” (features of outcome(s) that would make me happy) and then figure out which course of action would best minimize dissonance between the three

There is, and it's closely related to a genera, which is the opposite of trauma. It's an event so intense it ruptures your sense of self and makes your old identity impossible to sustain. But instead of the difference between old and new you becoming a whirlpool of pain and rumination, the rupture becomes a wellspring through which your soul pours into the world.
Examples include: Near-death experiences, finding the great love of your life, helping deliver a baby, meeting a hero and finding that he admires something in you that he doesn't have. Being forgiven by someone you once harmed and still carry immeasurable guilt for. Creating a work of art so beautiful you can't believe it came through you. Finding you are still loved after a nervous breakdown. Meditating until reality dissolves into indescribably beautiful vibration. Leaving a lover better than you found them. Loving someone unconditionally for long enough that you see them completely transform.
Because we are so resilient, and because the spirit naturally moves toward coherence and growth when it is in a safe and healthy environment, there are many more ways to rupture the self in generative ways than there are to traumatize it. It's one of the most beautiful things about being human.
i have a theory about God i talk about all the time
He knows He can’t reach everyone through the same methods, so He meets you in a way you can understand
if you’re naturally funny, He puts you in situations that, in hindsight, are so absurd you can’t help but laugh
if you’re analytical, He shows up as patterns. coincidences that line up too cleanly to ignore
if you’re emotional, He reaches you through love and loss. through people who break you open and show you what mattered
if you’re a skeptic, He lives in the questions that won’t leave you alone
God isn’t broadcasting on one frequency and blaming people for not tuning in
He’s speaking the language you already understand
and if you ever stop long enough to listen, you realize He’s been talking to you the entire time
since everyone naturally tend to keep all their best habits & sleep & other life hacks to themselves and never tell anyone
let's make this a thread where you post habits or things that significantly made your life better, and that you continued to do/use for at least 6 months
some filmmakers spend their entire lives trying to achieve what this vid does. betrayal, tension, stakes (picture day tomorrow) all perfectly communicated through dialogue and a still camera angle. and the open ending? teasing the main antagonist in the last 5 seconds? cinema.
