The Master Shift

When we stand back and we gaze upon that which comes to pass, we begin to see it. We begin to become privy to the Truth.

That truth being, the undeniable truth. It is a realization, not something that can be stated in words, it’s a collection of understandings of the true nature of the existence of infinitely many things. Gods were created, religions, idols and all sorts of things to try to get others to understand this truth as the creators of those things understood them.

This is a foolish thing to do, because humans are subjective. I cannot experience your experiences exactly as they occurred. In doing this, we follow illusions, we say “oh I want to understand that.” When truly that understanding is ungraspable.

It’s not like math where it has a physical representation in the world, because it is a subjective understanding that exists within the mind. The mind is the crystallization of reality, meaning that everything in the mind is a perception that can be refined but never fully flow. The mind must be like water to flow with all things, otherwise our understandings are rigid, instead of fluid.

What can we do about all of this? How can we understand something so great, when the most successful in the world pride themselves on understanding so little? The most successful hold on to their egos, they do not let them go, and they exploit countless others. These are the enemies of the Truth and light itself. Yet everything is set up to ensure they continue to exist.

People think that there’s a certain way things go, this is only because that certain way has been created. If necessary, the people can create more ways that are based on a deeper understanding of the nature of existence.

What is this nature of existence? This nature exists within the moment inherently because of existence. In order for something to exist, it must exist in some form. When it comes to the metaphysical there is no right and wrong. There is merely excellence and the lack of it. What does excellence entail? How can the existence of someone offend someone else? People need to understand that we’re all just people, and we have to give our best as much as we can. For the good of not only ourselves, but the entire world.

This is ultimately because the individual and their separation from the rest of the world is merely an illusion, we must come to understand the greater existence that we all share. Should we fail to reach this understanding mankind will meet its end quickly.

This is hard to hold everyone responsible for, because how can you? Honor would be a good way to do it, but much of the honor in the world is dead. And the honorable have little place in this world. The only way to do this is through teaching understanding, all other modes will fail so much in that they already have failed. What we seek is before us, we need only to open our eyes to see it.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
