Our energies are either aligned or misaligned with people. This is why we can just sense if a person connects well with us or not. The older we get, the more refined our energetic receptors get…we can call this your intuition. This is why we have to trust our intuition, it is customized for us and our highest good.

We tend to over think things when it comes to people when far too often our gut instinct is what we need to listen to, if some one isn’t good for you in one way or another your gut will let you know.

Always go with your gut.

Don't waste time forming friendships with people you don't like.

Don't bother talking to them, if asked why you're not friendly with them say, "it saves time and effort"

It’s your sixth sense. Most of us have no idea how to use it or that it’s even there, that’s not a meant as a slam, just a reality. Imagine all that could be avoided in life if we could only control this.

It is intuitive and generally accurate. I have often wondered how people can look at a picture of Donald Trump and not see him for the creep he is.

Oh sure, but I dont get why the Obamas, Clintons and the Bidens get a free pass when Trump only got elected because they abused so much.

I can’t understand why people who didn't have a problem with him before he went to be s Republican president suddenly have the ground he walks on.

It's like they are brainwashed by MSM.

This discussion about attraction really struck a chord! I always say that if we could truly explain why we’re drawn to someone, poets would be out of work. Has anyone else ever made a rational list of what they want in a partner, only to fall for someone who checked none of those boxes?

we need to know why we feel what we feel because otherwise, we begin to treat our feelings as a factual representation of reality. i've been married for 45 years and I still acquire very negative feelings about my wife which are based entirely on misunderstandings. so how dare anyone make snap judgments about how they feel about a stranger or casual aquaintence when they have no clue why that person does the things they do.

You're negative feelings might say a great more about your Wrong thinking than about their wrong thinking.

it doesn't feel good to me when somebody says something that I disagree with but this just means that it is especially important that I listen carefully, because that's the only way I can correct my own wrong thinking. If you automatically think that you're thinking is right in that everybody else is thinking is wrong, then I rest my case! Because how could you possibly know if the shoe fits unless you try it on?

Your gut reactions are primarily there to make routine decisions which do not require much reflection but when we use our intuition and gut reactions to make snap decisions that affect other people's lives we are mostly being More unfair to ourselves than to them.

Every damn time I disliked someone at first meeting and gave them a chance, I've always regretted it afterwards.

May courage rise in the hearts of our voices, guided not by fear, but by truth and understanding.

May wisdom guide our words to hold firm those to account for their actions done in bad faith.

Choose justice over obedience, remembering our forefathers gave their lives to the Constitution, and not for power.

In every step, in every voice, may we lead with integrity and honor.

As, our children will be watching us.

🍁 Elbows UP! 🏒 T - 1

All week there have been hundreds of thousands protesting against the Trump Regime's illegal activities:

It's blatent disregard for putting most American lives in harm's way through para-military engagement of civilians, their disappearences, and the suspension of national medical programs.

It's destruction of our economy, causing widespread losses of personal savings, pensions, social security, and our ability to make a living, through psudo-economic policies that make no sense and have led to hyper inflation and the devaluation of the US dollar.

Advocation of Trump's own legal accountability to the courts, and our own choices for local government.

We are here,

No Kings Day Saturday June 14th 2025

Find a protest near you:

https://www.nokings.org

KEEP PROTESTS PEACEFULL

Use signage and messaging to make your numbers visible.

- stop H.R.1 or the Big Beautiful Bill

- demand the constitution be reveered and not perverted

- reinstate respect for the rule of law

- call for an end to his divisiveness

The best way to protest against the military parade is not to be in Washington DC - so that only crickets are there.

All of this will show the courts and our leaders the destruction of our society by Trump is unwarranted, and contrary to the values America was founded on. Show there is no justifiable reason for it.

Don't kill anyone.

Stop the Big Beautiful Bill....only if you're a freeloading non-patriot and want others to pay your fair share.

While you're protesting, remember all the petulant conservatives who marched, protested, and stomped their feet when Biden (ahem) won.

"We don't know why we do or don't like someone." What a dumb saying. You're literally saying you don't think when you form opinions.

I cut through any possible concussion, disliking everyone until they give me a reason to like them. Saves a lot of time!

This is one of the best interviews I've read on Substack, would love for it to be featured on the Post. Between Katrina Donham and Substack's own head of design, Mills Baker. Mills' insights are so profound as he digs into his family history, shows how he navigated his parents' deaths and his current outlook.

Our social intuitions flow from our autonomic nervous system, namely the ventral branch of our vagus nerve that activates feelings of safety and connection vs activation of the dorsal branch that elicits feelings of dread, mistrust, & disconnection. Polyvagal theory explains this beautifully (cf Deb Dana’s writings).

Some hits and some misses...but, the blue light had its lure.-highlights how our newfangled computers still propagate archaic motifs; women as witches, the intransigence of women cleaning up after men, and the lurid interest in other's woes that brings people out to the village square
