I am here to remind you of what you keep forgetting: God is love. you’re weak because you haven’t dared to love to the point of breakage. you’re lost because you don’t know what to channel your love toward. you’re sick because you have much love trapped in your heart unreleased. any addiction you’re suffering from—love misplaced: p*rn, drugs, food binges. any yearning you have—love lost looking to be retrieved: childhood, home country, ex-partner. any goal you want to achieve—love looking to be realised: I’ll be enough when I am financially independent, own a home, get married. all life is a function of love. reframe perception accordingly. everything will make much more sense. and you might finally pursue the things worth pursuing: God.

Researchers at Fred Hutchinson examined the brains of 59 women after death. In 63 percent of them they found male DNA, almost certainly left behind by a son. The oldest of those women was 94, and the cells were still sitting there.

Around week four or five of pregnancy, before most women have told anyone, a handful of the baby's cells cross into the mother's bloodstream. Some of them never leave. Scientists call it microchimerism, meaning you are carrying a few of another person's cells inside you. Doctors at Leiden University in the Netherlands checked organs from women who had recently been pregnant and found the baby's cells in every single one. Liver, lungs, thyroid, kidneys, bone marrow, skin, heart.

They do not sit idle. When researchers in Ireland biopsied cesarean scars from 70 women, they found the baby's cells living in the skin as ordinary skin cells, making collagen and repair proteins right at the cut. The child helped close the wound its own birth made.

At Mount Sinai, scientists tagged fetal cells with a glowing marker in pregnant mice, then damaged the mothers' hearts. The fetal cells went to the injury. They became heart muscle and the lining of blood vessels. Nobody has proven the human version yet, but doctors have noticed for years that women who develop heart failure around childbirth recover better than almost any other kind of heart failure patient.

In a study of 177 women, fetal cells appeared in the blood of 85 percent of the healthy participants and only 64 percent of the women who had a very early, non-invasive breast cancer. Nobody has worked out yet whether the cells are doing the protecting. The same cells also turn up in Hashimoto's, an immune condition that attacks the thyroid, so this is a gift with complications.

A French team looked at umbilical cord blood in 2021 and found cells belonging to the baby's grandmother in 5 of 28 samples. Cells that crossed one placenta decades earlier had crossed a second one. Three generations of women, alive in a single bloodstream.

Which means the pull a mother feels toward her child has a physical form. It sits in her liver, her heart, and often her brain, and it stays there for the rest of her life.

When you perceive that you are being humiliated, look on it as the sign of a sure guarantee that grace is on the way.

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

What if the thought that just crossed your mind arrived the same way a prayer is answered? In this lecture, Jordan Peterson opens with a claim that sounds impossible and spends the next ninety minutes making it undeniable: that thinking is a kind of secularized prayer, that every insight you have ever had arrived more like a revelation than like a calculation, and that the direction you aim decides not only what you think but what you are able to see at all. From an ordinary argument with your wife, which Peterson uses to reveal something disturbing about the spirit in which you speak, he moves through a prophet alone in a cave, a man swallowed by the sea for staying silent, and two brothers and a rejected offering, building toward a single answer to the oldest question a person can ask. What faith turns out to be has almost nothing to do with belief in the way you were taught, and everything to do with a decision you are already making, every hour, whether you have noticed it or not.

This lecture was filmed on May 16th, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.

Men underestimate how much marriage requires active, emotionally intelligent self-sacrificial leadership.

Women underestimate how much marriage requires respect, trust and relinquishing the attempt to manage their husband into becoming the man they want.

Both underestimate how relentlessly marriage demands virtue.

I’ve been told this essay has helped people — a parachute easing the descent into embodied attention on difficult feelings. An editor reworked my unpolished prose, so perhaps it now reads with greater clarity and emotional legibility. May it benefit. 🧵👉🏼🔗

[Zoraya Black @ZorayaBlack_]

People will do you so wrong, and then expect time to heal you enough to have a neutral view towards them. And if you aren’t neutral, they take that as you being stuck on the situation, bitter, unable to move on or still emotionally consumed by what happened, when in reality, you can move on from a situation and still maintain the same opinion of somebody that their behaviour caused you to form.

God only gives the grace of perseverance to those who seek it.

[🍂 @Lovandfear]

There is a Japanese practice of owning one very good version of something rather than several adequate ones.

One knife, kept sharp. One pen that writes exactly as you want. One bag chosen carefully and used for years.

This is not minimalism as aesthetic. This is minimalism as relationship.

You learn the object. You know its weight. You know how it responds to your hand.

The object becomes, over time, an extension of you.

That cannot happen with things you do not stay with long enough to know.

[Xans | Hypnotist + High Performance Hypnosis @xansnds]

His advice is very effective because you begin to rewire your brain by training yourself to think and act impulsively, which is near indistinguishable from someone who has an incredible high degree of self-trust and agency.

When you trust yourself and have agency, you allow yourself to do whatever you feel like doing

To the outside that looks impulsive, but your gut is far more intelligent than your conscious mind will ever be and can ever be

This is the ideal state of being just nonstop action with his little thinking as possible, except when big risks are on the line

You do this until you learn the skills to be able to generate massive amounts of cash flow in a short period of time, and then you start thinking long-term

The hardest part is learning the skills to generate cash flow, but once you have that and entirely new world opens up to you on how to invest your money.

The easiest way to fall in love with your life is to do a lot of difficult, painful, meaningful stuff for a very long time.

Why are so many women sooo angry? They won. They got everything they wanted. Men have never been doing this badly, and women have never been doing this well. They make more, they have the majority of jobs, they are the majority of college graduates, (UCLA undergrad is 60% female), they make more money, have much lower rates of suicide, addiction, and alcoholism, and live longer. They won: they took over all men-only spaces, they took over the Boy Scouts, they ended men’s bathrooms, they can fly fighter planes and be in combat. Marriage is optional, divorce is no-fault, they win 99% of the custody battles, they can control fertility at will, and they can’t get drafted. We are all living in the female future they promised.
