Class discussion topics
The Master Instructor, Sensei Craig has set one topic each week which is discussed at the end of each adult class. Here are some of the topics.
The real you can only be found by removing everything that is not you
“Life is not about changing who you are, but discarding who you are not.” – Deepak Chopra "It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential." - Bruce Lee
Who were you before you were given a name, race, religion, customs, traditions, labels, and other people's beliefs?"
Don't let others hold you back from following your talents, passions and dreams
Don’t be concerned about what others think of you; that’s their business, not yours. Don't be concerned about what negative people say about you, or what they say you will amount to in life. Use any negative emotions that they have triggered within you as fuel for motivation and prove them wrong. So, in the end they have propelled you by triggering you into positive action. Congratulations, you have converted negative energy into positive energy!
People who block you from reaching your dreams and potential, or cause drama and trauma for you, are often some of those closest to you, such as friends and family. There is a big difference between 'soul family' and 'blood family'.
Escaping the Matrix Prison
Everyone has special talents or gifts from their ancestors coded into their DNA. These inheritances are your path to reaching your highest potential and your ticket out of the 9am-5pm matrix.
If something burns in your soul with purpose and desire, it’s your duty to follow your soul path and express it fully. Not doing so is a lack of appreciation and insult to the universe. Any other form of existence will be yet another dull book in the library of lives.
At any moment, you have a choice that either leads you closer to your soul purpose, freedom and happiness, or further away from it to bondage and misery.
Stop making excuses and get started!
Whatever your dreams are, remember that “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Lao-tzu“
"A year from now you will wish you had started today.”
"The best way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” - Albert Einstein
"If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done." - Bruce Lee
While we wait, life passes, and soon we are too old and frail to enjoy it.
Organise and declutter your mind so you can see and think clearly
Journalling: When you feel lost, confused, or emotional, go somewhere quiet for an hour with a note pad and pen, relax, take some deep breaths, and write down or draw everything and anything that comes into your mind. Some of the notes that you make, which may seem insignificant at the time, will be from you soul or subconscious and will lead you to new ideas, information, and people, which will answer your questions and lead you out of your situation.
Declutter your mind and soul by removing the layers of illusions and deception that aren't you
“Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.” – Jose Saramago
“Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?”
“I am not my thoughts, emotions, sense perceptions, and experiences. I am not the content of my life. I am Life. I am the space in which all things happen. I am consciousness. I am the Now. I Am.”
– Eckhart Tolle
The true you is at the core of an onion and you need to remove each layer to find yourself again. Layers have been accumulating since you were born and prior, and include what you have been told, taught, beliefs about yourself and the world, your education, spiritual teachings, customs, traditions, traumas, and undealt with / unreleased emotions.
Dedication
Dedication, commitment and perseverance are developed through attending two martial arts classes per week over many years, until Black Belt. Once these winning attributes become a habit, they permeate all other areas of your life.
If you skip training because it's too hot, too cold, if you are too tired, or prefer to do less important, or less beneficial things, this attitude will also become a habit and will permeate all other areas of your life, and you will be less likely to achieve great things nor reach your full potential in life.
True Martial Arts is Mastery of Body, Mind & Spirit i.e. Self-Mastery (Part 1)
True Martial Arts, much like Yoga and Tai Chi, is a system for mastering the trinity of body, mind and spirit/soul. These three aspects are what make a 'human being'. As such a true martial artist gives equal attention to development of each aspect. Mastering these is the path to Self-Mastery (enlightenment), being the final tenet of Cobra Martial Arts and the quest of all humans, whether they are consciously aware of this or not.
True Martial Arts is Mastery of Body, Mind & Spirit i.e. Self-Mastery (Part 2)
Mastering the body is not just about your fighting skill, speed, agility, or strength, but also learning about nutrition, eating as healthily and as organically as possible, relaxation techniques, and detoxifying the body of harmful chemicals found in modern day foods, tap water, medications, household cleaning products, bathroom products such as soap and shampoo, make-up, and personal hygiene products such as toothpaste and deodorant. So, begin researching.
True Martial Arts is Mastery of Body, Mind & Spirit i.e. Self-Mastery (Part 3)
Mastering the mind is not only about knowledge and learning, or mastering your emotions or pain, but also detoxifying the mind by unlearning:
- lies we have been told or taught, often from sources that we have been programmed to trust, and who tell us not to question them or there will be negative ramifications, such as ridicule, punishment, or being outcast.
- deception and manipulation
- mainstream programming such as from the corporation-controlled media
True Martial Arts is Mastery of Body, Mind & Spirit i.e. Self-Mastery (Part 4)
Mastering the soul is about reconnecting to the real / original you. This requires detoxifying past trauma and withheld / unreleased lower frequency emotions such as fear, guilt, shame, anger and stress, so that you can see yourself and the world more clearly, rather than through the layers and lenses of your past experiences, traumas, and programming.
Powerful Emotional Energy
How do you feel when you are holding dense low frequency energy in your body, such as sadness, anger, hate, fear, jealousy, or depression? Answer?
How do you feel when you are holding lighter high frequency energy in your body such as happiness, gratitude, peace, security, creativity, curiosity, and love? Answer?
The emotions you hold are your own response to past, current, and possible future events or situations. The event itself is actually neutral and does not have an emotion. You create the emotion within yourself through your reaction, which is based on your beliefs and thoughts.
You have inherited unique gifts which may have been suppressed until now
"You are an original, don't live and die as a copy".
"You are unique, in all the history of the world and in the world to come, there will never be another you".
Don't copy the path of another when yours was meant to be unique.
Your spiritual path is your own, not the path of another person, nor cookie-cut from a book.
"Do not fit in; stand out!"
You own nothing. Everything you possess has been loaned to you by the universe.
Nothing is yours nor in your control, not your life, family, money, home, or health. All of these can be taken back in an instant by the universe if there was another world war, another great depression, or if you died today. The only thing you have some control over is management of your inner state of emotions, so take time to study how.
Learning GOAL SETTING through the BELT SYSTEM
"The belt system is not just a representation of rank and skill advancement; it is also an acknowledgement of personal growth towards self-mastery. Such advancement signifies not only growth within the dojo (training studio), but also outside of the dojo in all areas of life. Each belt is a goal to be achieved and the belt system trains the student in the goal setting process which they will then apply in their life. Once a goal is set, it is created in an energy field as a hologram. The more emotional energy you consistently feed it through visualisation, the faster it materialises into dense energy as a physical manifestation. People call this energy field the 'imagination', however realise that it is a real, non-physical place where all creation begins."

Gratitude
“There’s a lot that is good in your life - don’t take it for granted. Don’t get so focused on the struggles that you miss the gifts of today.” – Joel Osteen
Many people think their life sucks, but they are way better off than the majority of people in the world who live in third world countries, poverty, disease, war, and homelessness.
When you get home write a list of 100 things that you are grateful for in your journal, to change the vibration of the emotional state you are emitting to the universe. The universe mirrors back to you what you emit. This is the law of attraction. Genuine gratitude is a very high vibration emotion which attracts situations and things of equal frequency.
Bucket List
When you get home write a list of 100 things that you want to do or achieve in this lifetime, and a date next to each one. Then get on the phone or online and organise at least one or two.
“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” – Confucius
“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” — Lao Tzu
“If you’re serious about changing your life, you’ll find a way. If you’re not, you’ll find an excuse.”
The Line of Life separates the winners and losers
People who operate above the line live as winners. People who operate below the line live as losers. Do you operate above or below the line of life?
Ownership Accountability Responsibility
________________
Blame Excuses Denial
Making excuses and blaming circumstances and others, for you not living the life you want, will not help you and will only make things worse. It gives your power away to external forces and people. Take responsibility for your life. Claim back your power. Educate yourself in areas that you want to improve, such as motivation, organisation, discipline, relaxation, nutrition, exercise, fitness, increasing your energy, goal setting, and building wealth in all areas of your life.
“Happy people build their inner world; unhappy people blame their outer world.” – Dalai Lama
What does Black Belt mean to you?
Wearing a Black Belt does not mean you are invincible or better than anyone else.
It means you don't give up. You don't surrender to yourself-doubts.
You face your fears and defeat them.
You are able to work through and conquer physical and mental pain.
You overcome challenges and disappointments.
You overcome distractions.
You achieved what only 1% of people do.
It means that you realise you are capable of anything and will apply these strengths to all challenges that you face in your life.
Live your best life now, as the now is the best predictor of your future
“The future depends on what we do in the present.” - Mahatma Gandhi.
As soon as anyone starts telling you to be ‘realistic,’ or deters you from your dreams for whatever reason, cross that person off your contact list, as they are intentionally, or unintentionally working against you.
To predict your future, look at your now. If you don't want this to be your future, then take responsibility and make changes. Nobody is coming to save you.
"It is you that you have been waiting for" - Pleiadean Proverb
Imagination is the first step to creation
Everything in the universe was first a thought.
“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.” - Albert Einstein
"Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements."
“Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one.”
Your journey must be your own - think for yourself! You should not blindly accept the teachings, programming, and beliefs of anyone or any group, just because your parents, grandparents, friends, teachers, and the masses do. Question everything that you have been told until you find or receive answers that feel right. Study how to develop your intuition and discernment. There is truth, deception, and manipulation in almost everything we read, hear, or watch on TV. "Nothing binds you except your thoughts; nothing limits you except your fear; and nothing controls you except the beliefs that you have adopted."
"To find yourself, think for yourself." - Socrates "All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns". - Bruce Lee
Love
“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.”
–Osho
Connect but don't attach.
Love is letting go of fear of loss.
Relationships
The reason why so many potential relationships fail is because people are broken, carrying trauma (including that inherited from ancestors), negative emotions, unresolved and unreleased emotions, and unhealthy beliefs. Yet they are still trying to date, surprised that it is not working out. Healing requires 'knowing thyself', isolation, critical self-analysis, studying your behavior, admitting your weaknesses, studying your patterns, triggers, research, and exercises to release trauma, generational patterns, withheld lower emotions, and unhealthy beliefs and belief systems. Most people haven't mastered the relationship with themselves, yet are trying to have a relationship with others.
The Now
The past is a memory, and your future is your imagination; all that exists is the now.
“If you feel anxiety or depression, you are not in the present. You are either anxiously projecting the future, or depressed and stuck in the past. The only thing you have any control over is the present moment" - Tobe Hanson
Breathing exercises, walking or just being in nature, meditation, grounding, martial arts training, or doing healthy things that you enjoy, can help you declutter and calm your mind, and bring it back to the now.
Emotions
"Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions."
"What worries you, masters you."
"Feelings are something you have; not something you are."
"The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood."
The best answer to anger is silence. - Marcus Aurelius
The best revenge is not to be like your enemy. - Marcus Aurelius
Detachment - Connect but don't attach
Nothing is in our control except, to some degree, our emotional state. A higher force or power controls everything. It can give or take a life in a millisecond.
The more we value things outside our control, the less control we have. - Marcus Aurelius
You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realise this and you will find strength. - Marcus Aurelius
Attachment to something outside of you, such as a person, your job title, material things, or a particular outcome, has its roots in fear and a need to control or hold on to what is familiar. Allow others to be themselves, not what you want them to be. Detachment allows the universe to create the perfect result and is the key to well-being and happiness.
The Universal Law of Attraction, Balance, & Karma
Like attracts like. Whatever the conscious mind can perceive and believe, the subconscious mind (soul) will create and achieve.
What you think about or wish for, for yourself or others, good or bad, will attract similar circumstances of equal energetic vibrational frequency to you, like a boomerang.
If you hold negative thoughts (or actions) about others such as hate, anger, or jealousy, or wish them misfortune (e.g. spells), that negative emotional energy radiates from and through you, and then radiates from you like a beacon, and it attracts situations, things, and events, of equal frequency to you and your family, sooner or later.
Similarly, positive emotions, thoughts, and actions, attract positive things, situations, and events, to you and your family, sooner or later.
The universe keeps everything in balance. This is described and seen in many ways, such as Yin & Yang (balance), The Law of Attraction, "You reap what you sow", and Karma. 2024 is a year of karma!
Be the best version of yourself to reach your full potential
"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." - Albert Einstein
"If one desires a change, one must be that change before the change can take place" - Gita Bellin "If you keep doing the same things you will keep getting the same results"
Death
I cannot escape death, but at least I can escape the fear of it. - Marcus Aurelius
One of the biggest crimes of modern times is removal of the knowledge that consciousness (us / the soul) is energy, which cannot be created or destroyed, but only transformed from one form to another. This is called reincarnation and has been removed from mainstream sources of information by people in power, to retain control and power. Understanding this changes your attitude and emotions towards death of the body. Your current body is simply your vehicle for this lifetime.
Perception "Men are disturbed not by what happens, but by their opinion of things that happen." - Epictetus
The truth is the truth, but people's perception of it may vary drastically. Is the curry mild or spicy? Is a situation good or bad? It depends on who you ask, i.e., each person has their own perception based on their programming. In reality, it is neither mild or spicy, and neither good nor bad. It is a collection of atoms, i.e., electrical charges / energy.
I know that I'm not seeing things as they are; I'm seeing things as I am.
The Matrix - Part 1
When you realise that you (and humanity) have been under a kind of spell, unknowingly controlled and manipulated, at that moment you are awakening.
I started to be free when I realised that my cage was made of my beliefs and thoughts. A prison without bars.
Good evening, this is the evening news. Here is what we want you to believe today...
The Matrix - Part 2
From the move, "The Matrix":
"The Matrix is everywhere... It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."
"... when you are inside the matrix, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters... You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured (used to it), so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.”
"You take the blue pill, the story ends; you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
Was the movie, "The Matrix" just a movie, or also a documentary?
A tribute to Martial Arts Instructors and Assistant Instructors
When you create a difference in someone's life, you not only improve their life, but you also improve their children's lives, grandchildren's lives, and your descendants, as well as everyone they influence throughout their lifetime.
A true martial arts instructor is a teacher of life. They can change the direction of a person's life, and their entire lineage and bloodline, by reprogramming their limiting beliefs and physical capabilities to become the best possible version of themselves.
If you see yourself as a future assistant instructor, speak with Sensei.
Your Value
Your value doesn't decrease based on people's inability to see your worth.
A bar of iron costs $5. If it is made into horse shoes, it is worth $12. If it is made into needles, it is worth $3,500. If it is made into springs for watches, it is worth $300,000. Your value is determined by what you make of yourself, so develop yourself to your full potential.
The Organ of Intuition
The pineal gland in your brain contains light sensitive crystalline structures called rods and cones, just like in your eyes. Fluoride accumulates in the pineal gland, damaging it, thereby, reducing its ability to function. Ancient cultures refer to the pineal gland as the third eye, being the centre of intuition. Fluoride is also used in rat poison and pesticides. Some governments add fluoride to tap water and toothpaste.
Intuition & Gut Feeling
No matter how good something looks, if it doesn't feel right, walk away.
Intuition is your “gut feeling” or "sixth sense".
It is your internal compass that has knowledge and understanding to guide you, which your your mind does not have.
It will guide you in the right direction, without having to know all the facts.
Intuition is instinctual and when it shows up you won’t be able to explain it.
You will feel called to pursue a certain path but you will have no reason or explanation for why, you just have that “gut feeling.”
Being Unique: Why It's Important to Be Yourself
Every person in the world is special in their own way.
There is nobody in the world that is exactly like you, and there is nobody that ever lived who is exactly like you.
The things that make you different from others are your superpowers.
You were born an original, don't live and die as a copy.
It can be tempting to follow the crowd and copy what everyone else is doing, especially if we want to fit in or be liked. But being original and true to ourselves is more important than just going along with others. When we follow the crowd, we lose what makes us special.
You don't have to follow the crowd to be happy or successful.
Instead, be the best version of yourself, and you will shine in your own unique way!
How to Reduce Stress and Lower Emotions (Part 1 of 2)
Lower emotions and lower feelings feel terrible.
Some common lower emotions and feelings that people feel are:
Stress Worry Rejection Abandonment Unworthiness Insecurity Low confidence
Sadness Jealousy Confusion Procrastination
Tension
Depression
Frustration
Boredom
Loneliness
Resentment
Bitterness
Hate Fear
Martial Arts Masters such as the Shaolin Fighting Monks use specific mental and spiritual martial arts techniques to fight these lower emotions.
These techniques include deep breathing, meditation, and intense martial arts physical training, to release these emotions and stress from their body and replace them with 'higher' emotions, such as peace and happiness.
You can release ugly feeling emotions from your body by using any or all of the following techniques for one minute or more, any time you feel that you need to:
Deep Breathing:
Take slow, deep breaths. Inhale deeply through the nose and exhale slowly through the mouth.
Let's try and focus on this now for 30 seconds.
Meditation:
Examples:
Focus on the feeling of your stomach going in and out as you breathe.
Let's try and focus on this now for 30 seconds. Focus on a sound in nature, such as the wind, water flowing, birds chirping, or leaves rustling.
Let's see what sounds we can hear now for 30 seconds, even if they are not sounds of nature.
PART 2 NEXT WEEK.
How to Reduce Stress and Lower Emotions (Part 2 of 2)
Grounding / Earthing:
Stand or sit with bare feet in nature, such as on grass, soil, or your feet in a river or the ocean, and feel and imagine/visualise the ugly lower emotions drain out from your feet into the soil, grass, or water, each time you breath out. Visualise lower emotions as a dark colour such as brown. Then breathe in good energy visualising the colour white.
Let's try and focus on this now for 30 seconds.
Physical Activity:
Physical training such as martial arts, running, dancing, weightlifting, and playing outside.
Exercise reduces lower emotion energy and stress by burning it up for energy and improving your mood through the release of 'happy' hormones.
Creativity:
Such as drawing, painting, crafting, building something, renovating, and planning.
Talking About Feelings:
With somebody you can trust who will support you positively.
Visualisation:
Such as imagining a peaceful place, an imaginary place, or a favorite memory.
Let's try and focus on this now for 30 seconds.
Building Confidence (Part 1 of 2)
Part 1:
This week, we're focusing on confidence, an important skill that will help you in martial arts
and in life.
Confidence is about believing in yourself and your abilities, even when things get
tough.
Here are some important notes to help us build our confidence:
1. Set Small Goals:
Confidence grows as we achieve things.
Start by setting small goals, like:
learning a new kick
completing a certain number of push-ups
passing your next progress check
passing your next belt.
Celebrate each success, no matter how small (we do this at the belt presentation).
This will help you feel proud and capable!
As you achieve small goals you will feel more confident in setting and achieving bigger goals.
2. Positive Self-Talk:
The way we talk to ourselves matters.
Instead of saying, “I can’t do this,” try saying, “I will give it my best shot.”
Words are like spells, that's why it's called 'spelling', so choose your words carefully.
A sentence that you say about yourself or think in your head, can become your 'life sentence'.
3. Practice Makes Perfect:
The more you practice, the better you get!
Whether it's mastering a new technique in martial arts or doing a performance at school.
Practice helps you feel more prepared and increases your chance of achieving your goals.
Building Confidence (Part 2 of 2)
4. Learn from Mistakes:
Everyone makes mistakes, and that’s okay! Instead of feeling upset and discouraged, see mistakes as opportunities to learn.
Mistakes and failures are just stepping-stones on your way to success.
When you understand this secret, you become more resilient and confident in your abilities.
5. Surround Yourself with Positivity:
Spend time with friends and family who uplift you.
Supportive people encourage you to try new things and remind you of your strengths and talents.
Releasing Inherited Limiting Beliefs
We have been programmed with limiting beliefs about ourselves and important areas of our lives such as money, relationships, health, work, and addictions. Such contracts, vows and subliminal programming have hidden us from our true power since the day we were born, through birth certification contracts, nursery rhymes, fairy tales, cartoons, TV shows, movies, marriage vow contracts, song lyrics, advertising, slogans, symbols, logos, and some religious ceremonies. To begin the process of cancelling these programs, read Sensei's article entitled, 'Removing Inherited Ancestral Limitations' in the Articles section of our website.
Are you Awake yet?
It is better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Do what you feel is right.
Don't fit in - Stand out!
Sometimes the black sheep walks a path that the white sheep dared not tread.
If you do not question everything, you may never find the best answer for you. You will only find the answer that others want you to believe.
“I am different, and it has cost me many people, but I’m always myself. It’s better to lose others than lose yourself to fit in.”
The greatest fear in the world is of the opinions of others. The moment you realise that, is the moment you are free"
Negative People
How you make others feel about themselves says a lot about you.
Low frequency people take pleasure in creating conflict.
The ideal strategy for dealing with negative people is to go 'non-contact'.
The Kiai!
The shout heard when a martial artist executes a strike is called the Ki-ai. Other athletes also shout when executing a technique with full power. 'Ki' is 'Chi', which is 'life force energy'. 'Ai' means 'union'. So kiai means 'union of energy'. It is the combining and focus of the technique with life force energy to intensify its power. It has a way of 'psyching' you up and raising your spirit, making you feel invincible. Tennis players, power lifters, and Olympic athletes all use it. Soldiers and warriors also use it when they charge into battle.
Goal Setting, Affirmations, Matras, Prayer, and Visualisation
In the 1950s Harvard University did a study on goal setting. After interviewing their student body they found that only 3% had correctly set written goals. Twenty years later they did a follow-up study. The study showed that the 3% had accumulated more wealth than the other 97% combined.
Study the goal setting process and set goals for any or all of these areas:
family
career
finance & investment
social / friends
health & fitness
education
spiritual
Nutrition
Nutrition is health care. Medicine is sick care.
--- Miscellaneous
Don't overreact to things that are over. It only makes things worse. Re-centre your emotional energy and find the lesson.
Being rejected or your rejection of others is for your protection, as this was not in line with your path.
Have you got too comfortable with being uncomfortable?
A person's own natural duty, even if it seems imperfectly done, is better than work not naturally their own, even if well performed.
You can commit injustice by doing nothing. - Marcus Aurelius
Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil. - Marcus Aurelius
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. - Seneca
No man is free who is not master of himself. - Epictetus
If you want something good, get it yourself. - Epictetus
“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”
― Marcus Aurelius
The grass looks greener on the other side because it's fake.
If you don't like something, take away its power; Your attention.
Ignore what everyone else is doing and achieving. You are not in competition with others, as your path is unique. Compete with your old self. Outdo your past, not other people.
Sometimes those who don't socialise much aren't actually anti-social. They just have no tolerance for drama, stupidity, and fake people.
You will never understand the damage you did to someone until the same thing is done to you. This is karma and 2024 is a year of karma. Karma can be negative or positive, depending on how you lived your life. The thoughts, actions and energy you have given out is now being returned more quickly.
I had to make you uncomfortable, otherwise you never would have moved. - Universe
The one who follows the crowd will go no further that the crowd. Thise who walk alone are likely to find themselves in places no one has ever been before - Albert Einstein
You either get better or bitter. It's that simple. You either take what has been dealt to you and allow it to make you a better person, or you allow it to tear you down. The choice does not belong to fate, it belongs to you.
Religion is believing someone else's experience. Spirituality is having your own experience.
We work jobs we hate, to buy things we don't need, to impress people who we don't like - Tyler Durden
It is unhealthy to be normal in a sick society. Be different, be the weird ones.
You are a human magnet, constantly attracting what you speak, think, do and feel.
"I would rather adjust my life to your absence than adjust my boundaries to accommodate your disrespect."
Maturity is accepting that you won't always get the answers or apologies for the things that hurt you, but you choose to work on yourself and heal anyway.
Every end has a new beginning. We have exited a period known as Pices and entered a period known as Capricorn. The tail becomes the head, and the head becomes the tail. The old is dying and the new has been born.
I used to be afraid of losing people until I realised that most of them were never really down for me anyway. So instead of being afraid of losing them, I allowed them to lose me.
Ignorance is the cause of fear. - Seneca
Education is not intelligence. The world is full of highly indoctrinated sheeple with zero common sense or intuition.
