Capitalism has always conspired with religion to claim spiritual monopoly. "Manifest destiny" shaped the course of American history: the bounty of a stolen continent was proof positive of God's blessing -- even if it meant decimating "pagan" Native America, and removing First Nations peoples to reservations that inspired Hitler's concentration camps. A light on the hill, and all that crap. "In God We Trust" is printed on American money. Go figure the biblical contradiction. Personally I don't see the inherent harm in attempting to "manifest" one's reality. It's called wishful thinking, or in some contexts, prayer. I'm also reminded of intention-setting during psychedelic healing sessions, and even of traditional San Pedro rituals in which material wealth was the desired goal. Apparently the curanderos didn't have a problem with it. The idea of Lord Elon tripping in order to dream up ever more nefarious ways of enslaving nature and humanity, on the other hand, I would strictly classify as black magic.

Hey all. After really enjoying the Corroboree over ten years ago I slipped off the radar once my kids came along and I became the primary care-giver, but I tried to kick-start my presence a few years ago just before I lost my home computer. Since then I've had a replacement (couldn't use my VPNed work one because NSFW...) and I'm finally getting around to relaunching here. If any of my old buddies are around - hi! And if there are any newer Tassie members who might like to get in touch - hi, too! There are a few plants that I'll be posting about soon - looking, or to pass on, so watch these spaces... It's so bloody good to be back.
