Gatekeeping your mind | Fola Daniel Adelesi

You cannot empower your mind if you don’t gatekeep your mind. Gatekeeping is something that those of us in the media are aware of. It’s a process that we use to sieve information. It’s a process through which we determine what is right, what is wrong, what is good enough, and what is not good enough. So when we talk about gatekeeping your mind, the gatekeeping process for your mind involves the…

Escaping Wokeism and Embracing Critical Thinking | Woke Up

"Wokeism" is a term often used in contemporary discourse to describe a set of social and political beliefs and practices associated with a heightened awareness of social justice issues, particularly those related to race, gender, sexuality, and other forms of identity and inequality. It has its origins in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) where "woke" originally meant being socially aware or awakened to the injustices and systemic discrimination faced by marginalized communities.

I'd like to take a moment to clarify the essence of my blog and the perspective I bring to the fascinating world of witchcraft. This isn't about discouragement or disbelief but rather an exploration grounded in cognitive science and human behavior. Let's delve into the details.

1. A Unique Perspective:

My approach to witchcraft stems from a unique viewpoint rooted in cognitive science. I've found that understanding the human brain and behavior provides profound insights into the practices associated with witchcraft. This doesn't negate the diversity of beliefs but adds another layer to the conversation.

2. Sharing Insights, Not Discrediting:

The goal here is not to discredit or diminish anyone's beliefs. Instead, it's about sharing my insights and observations based on the intersection of psychology and the mystical. Every belief system is a rich tapestry, and my aim is to contribute a thread from the realm of cognitive understanding.

3. Navigating Diverse Beliefs:

Witchcraft is a vast and diverse landscape with various traditions, practices, and beliefs. My perspective is just one thread in this intricate tapestry. I encourage open-mindedness and respect for the multitude of ways people connect with and interpret the mystical.

4. Promoting Open Dialogue:

I believe in fostering open dialogue where diverse perspectives can coexist. By sharing my insights, I want to contribute to a broader conversation within the witchcraft community, encouraging exploration and discussion, with psychological explanations.

5. Explaining the Unexplained:

In the vast realm of witchcraft, spirituality, and mysticism, there are often experiences, occurrences, and signs that can be challenging to comprehend. I believe that providing psychological and cognitive explanations doesn't diminish the magic but rather enhances our understanding. It's about offering an alternative lens for those who may find solace in scientific perspectives. As someone who regularly navigates different realms due to DID and experiences fictophilia, I've found that the real or not, our internal worlds hold a profound significance. Your personal Eden, whether mystical or psychological, is a valid and powerful part of your existence.

In conclusion, my intention is not to discourage or disillusion but to offer a unique lens through which to explore the world of witchcraft. I'm excited to continue this journey of discovery with you all, delving into the mysteries while grounded in the fascinating world of cognitive science.

There is this question of like, okay, so if Aziraphale was being coerced by the Metatron, then doesn't that take away his agency? Isn't it more powerful if he simply really wants to return to Heaven because he thinks it's the right thing to do?

And the thing is, I think both things are true at once (as a result of the cognitive dissonance that's common in complex trauma situations), so the interpretations aren't even as incompatible as they look in the first place. Also, there's no arguing with emotional resonance; that part is purely subjective.

BUT I did want to point out one thing, which is what the story might eventually be trying to say regarding free will or the lack of it or what it really is anyway.

What if the narrative wants to acknowledge that people's choices are often limited? What if there's a little commentary in the overarching story about how we can help each other even when we have no real power? After all, despite the fact that Crowley and Aziraphale have clear privileges over humans, their stories also very profoundly resonate with those of us whose lives have been constrained by our societies. They experience both privilege and oppression, and it allows their roles in the narrative to encompass both individual empowerment and social responsibility. It is another layer of duality.

I've been saying that I think Aziraphale's main error is more in the way that he talked to Crowley rather than in agreeing to follow the Metatron back to Heaven. And then the mirror might also be true: we know Crowley didn't make a mistake by refusing to go back to Heaven, but he may have made mistakes in the way he talked to Aziraphale. What if the narrative wants to suggest that it matters how we talk to each other? Or maybe it wants to put an emphasis on listening to each other, even when we are sincerely convinced that whatever else we're focused on is more important. The end of Season 2 was always going to be a heartbreaking separation - but maybe they could have avoided whatever trouble is to come with the "not talking" bit we read about in the beginning of Season 3 (taking "not talking" at face value).

Of course, if things had been less dramatic, we probably wouldn't remember it as well, and then we wouldn't remember the core messages, either. We certainly wouldn't be pulling the scene apart like we do, so in the long run, maybe we wouldn't even notice what the story is trying to say at all. That's why it's relevant to be asking what would happen if communication had been better, WHILE the poor communication is also worthwhile.

There is also a position out there that Aziraphale was entirely 100% influenced by the Metatron's presence and couldn't say anything except exactly what he said. This doesn't resonate with me either because-- well, I could be wrong, but I tend to feel that there has to be an element of choice involved because this is a narrative about choices. But more to the point, because Aziraphale and Crowley have successfully communicated under duress before, I find it unlikely that the narrative would cut off the hypothetical possibility of better communication during the Final Fifteen.

One of the cool things about this story is that there are many plausible messages it could want to prioritize and many plausible angles from which it could approach that ultimate message. I'm looking forward to which ones it chooses. But I dunno, handwaving Aziraphale's anxiety before, during, and after the chinwag - either as a way he "always" behaves or as a positive, excited reaction - kinda feels like being told to ignore important information.

So, in a recent ask, you said the bear's powers "echo themes of strength, spirituality, and ancestry".

So I'm curious: what themes do the other kwami's powers echo?

Feel free to ignore this if it's too much. I don't want it to overwhelm you since it seems like many previous asks have.

It's fine, it's just there quite a few asks I can't really answer. But to answer, these are the themes, for now. They could always be changed and tweaked later.

Bee: connection, leadership, judgement, teamwork Bull: personal power, resolve, spirituality Cat: destruction, chaos, elusiveness Crane: life, healing drifting, abstract Deer: reflection, truth, vision, and travel Dog: making connections, salvation, finding, catching Dove: love, hope, freedom Dragonfly: element, speed, power Eagle: power, combat, speed, electrifying Fish: fortune, prosperity, abundance, fluidity Fox: illusion, creativity, influence, music Frog: animation, healing, energy Goat: creativity, animation, mischief, alterations Grasshopper: leap of faith, prophecy, randomness Horse: speed, mobility, freedom, travel Ladybug: luck, creation, restoration, justice, aggression Lion: formidable, tenacity, teamwork, inspiration, empowerment Mantis: prudence, grounded, stability, power Monkey: playfulness, energetic, chaos, transformation, comedy Mouse: multitasking, teamwork, elusiveness, subtlety Owl: disconnection, fear, isolation, spirits, travel death Peafowl: rejuvenation, empowerment, assistance, vibrancy, foresight, flexibility, adaptation Pig: cognitive, mental power, deflection Rabbit: healing, provision, overwhelming Raven: duality, surprise, darkness, light Rooster: authority, imagination, creativity Snake: ingenuity, intuition, reflexes, inner power, surprise, evolution Songbird: communication, freedom, detachment Spider: creation, fabrication, illusion, control Swan: love, uplifting, hope, charming Tiger: explosive, chaos, iron will, domination Turtle: versatile, foundation, protection, withdrawn, introspection, security Wolf: isolation, void, fear, power, danger

i pole dance for the acrobatic element and i think ive realized what can drive the cognitive dissonance of stripping = empowering.

many women in my classes will say dancing and moving sensually makes them feel sexy and empowered, and they probably project that onto strippers and other “sex workers” as well. but they’re ignoring the fact that dancing makes them feel sexy and empowered in a safe space surrounded by only other women. if they were surrounded by men who frequent clubs, i doubt they’d feel the same. like yeah im sure u feel good about urself in a protected environment where everyone is genuinely supporting u, unlike actual clubs.

yeah and like just think what type of men go to strip clubs as well… groups of drunk men, gross horny men, business men who feel very entitled, etc. but i think in general the empowerment narrative stems from the assumption that a) money is power so being paid for something is automatically empowering i guess, b) it breaks with the expectation women should be modest and saving ourselves (which in turn reinforces the madonna-whore complex by positioning two extremes against each other with no alternative) and c) the underlying but never in that form put forward assumption that payment makes up for lack of dignity and respect.

i've had a very puzzling and angering cognitive dissonance to contend with for ten years now.

it's to do with the field i've studied and worked in (mental health) vs my own mental health. every adult around me has always been supportive of this career path, hailing it as some ultra-noble long-suffering vocation to take up. yet very few of those same supporters are willing to support my seeking help for my own mental health. i know it's due to half-baked, individual focused pop psychology and a healthy dose of stigma.

but there is something very very strange about spending half my life advocating for empowerment and better care for adolescents, for destigmatisation, for context-based interventions, for gunning for my friends in their personal lives…while i myself feel so incredibly disempowered to advocate for my own wellbeing.

Here's a more pragmatic approach to getting started in witchcraft:

Understand Your Intentions: Witchcraft is deeply rooted in intention. Start by identifying your reasons for wanting to explore witchcraft. Is it for self-improvement, healing, personal growth, or something else? Knowing your intentions will help guide your practice.

Learn About Various Practices: Witchcraft is incredibly diverse, with numerous traditions and practices. Research different aspects of witchcraft, including herbalism, crystal work, meditation, and symbolism. This will allow you to choose the aspects that resonate most with you.

Focus on Self-Discovery: Witchcraft is often a journey of self-discovery. Embrace practices that help you understand yourself better. This might involve journaling, meditation, or working with self-reflective tools like Oracle cards or even psychology-based cards for wisdom, learning and introspection rather than interpretation or meaning.

Embrace Practical Tools: Rather than focusing solely on magical tools, consider practical tools that align with your intentions. For example, if you want to enhance your mental well-being, explore mindfulness techniques or cognitive-behavioral tools. Self-empowerment does not have to be a "mystical" thing,

Explore Symbolism: Symbolism plays a significant role in witchcraft. You can incorporate symbols into your daily life to help reinforce your intentions. For example, wearing specific colors or jewelry that symbolize your goals can be meaningful.

Work with Crystals: Crystals are versatile tools that can be used in various ways, even without traditional spells or rituals. You can carry crystals with you, place them in your environment, or use them for self-reflection and intention setting, or reminders of what resonates with you.

Focus on Mindfulness: Developing mindfulness is a powerful practice in witchcraft. Being present in the moment, practicing gratitude, and connecting with nature can all enhance your craft and personal well-being.

Build Your Own Practice: Witchcraft is highly personal. Don't feel pressured to conform to specific traditions or practices. Instead, build your own unique practice that aligns with your values and goals.

Be Skeptical: Maintain a healthy level of skepticism and critical thinking. Question and analyze what you encounter in the world of witchcraft to ensure it aligns with your pragmatic and self-empowered approach.

By taking this pragmatic approach, you can create a meaningful and self-empowering witchcraft practice that is grounded in reality and tailored to your specific needs. This guide encourages you to explore, question, and create a path that resonates with you.

**TOPIC OF THE DAY**

Positive Affirmations: Elevating Your Relationship with Yourself

Positive affirmations are powerful statements that nurture a constructive mindset and foster self-belief. They function as declarations of self-worth, reinforcing optimistic perspectives and intentions. Embracing positive affirmations initiates a transformative process within our psyche, shaping our perceptions and attitudes toward ourselves and the world around us.

**Understanding How Positive Affirmations Work**

Positive affirmations operate on the principle of cognitive restructuring, wherein repetitive exposure to affirmative statements rewires neural pathways, cultivating a more affirmative self-perception. By consistently reciting affirmations aligned with desired outcomes, individuals consciously redirect their thoughts and emotions, instilling confidence and resilience.

**Enhancing Our Relationship with Ourselves**

Positive affirmations serve as catalysts for self-empowerment, nurturing a nurturing inner dialogue that bolsters self-esteem and self-compassion. Through affirmations, individuals cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness, embracing their inherent value and potential. By acknowledging strengths and affirming aspirations, individuals forge a harmonious relationship with themselves, rooted in acceptance and affirmation.

In essence, positive affirmations transcend mere words; they embody a commitment to self-care and personal growth. By integrating affirmations into daily routines, individuals cultivate a resilient mindset grounded in self-assurance and optimism, fostering a transformative journey toward self-discovery and fulfillment. Embrace the power of positive affirmations, and embark on a journey of self-empowerment and inner harmony.
