My number one hobby is #ttrpgs -- mostly the #worldbuilding aspect of them, DMing, very rarely playing. Been doing it for uhh 35 years now. The worldbuilding's been constant, the actual play much more intermittent. My current game's about eight sessions in with a bunch of nuggets, running #dnd 5.5. It's going pretty well.
Roughly equivalent to this is #meditation, #spirituality, and the #occult. I read a lot, I reflect a lot, sometimes I even do stuff, generally fairly ad hoc. I've been a #druid, a #christian, #asatru, various combinations of all three, now kinda doing my own thing.
Third is #cooking, though I don't do as much of that as I used to. I used to love meat and got very good at variously preparing it, then the wife went vegan and I discovered meat seems to tamper with my mojo so I don't eat much of it anymore and most of my cooking jutsu is moot.
Fourth is #reading in general, I suppose -- #speculativeFiction, generally, sometimes #romance, sometimes the happy union of the two. I'm not well-read, by any means, but I like it more than any other medium, when I have the brain for it. #Comics, too, especially #webcomics. Love 'em.
Fifth is #martialArts. I've studied, at various times, #karate, #taijutsu, #aikido, #savate, and #hema, though none to any great extent and none all that recently. I like to spar, and someday I'd like to pick up #judo.
Sixth is uhh well I want to pick up #crochet this year, maybe.
Also I sing sometimes.
Anyone wants to chat about any of the above, hit me up.

Today I read a message from Richard Rohr that inspired me to ponder the roles of prophets, priests, and politicians in shaping our worldviews.
TL;DR: “The only way evil can succeed is to disguise itself as good. And one of the best disguises for evil is religion.” No humans have all the answers to the questions we seek. Let’s lift each other up so we can all reach our full potential as spiritual beings.

“When we let things be as they are, we offer ourselves and other people a space around problems that’s free of all pressure to change or to be the same. This way of being is extremely respectful, because we don’t judge where we are or how we should be. We give ourselves permission to be exactly as we are.” ~Peter Fenner, “Radiant Mind” #SBNR #Spirituality #Nonduality #Respect
Hi SFBA! It’s time for an #introduction. My name is Holls, and I’m new here. Trying to get the lay of the land here in the Fediverse, and learning more all the time. Insta escapee. So glad to be here. I live in Guerneville which is on the Russian River, west of Santa Rosa in the redwoods. Any tips, tricks, or suggestions are appreciated. Interested in #socialjustice, #savingtheearth, #nature, #animals, especially #cats, #horror, #yoga, and #spirituality, etc.
Life in the Spirit means that spirituality is one of the major focal points of the Christian life. Spirituality is entering into a conscious and intentional relationship to God. I emphasize conscious because we are already in a relationship with God and have been from our beginning, whether we realize that or not; spirituality is about becoming conscious of that relationship. - Marcus J. Borg #christianity #jesuschrist #holyspirit #spirituality

I've created a Substack if you'd like to follow me there for longer-form content. I'll try to post weekly, but I'll have to see how it works out.
Richard Rohr's meditation today highlights Brian McLaren's writings on "positive disruption". I like his description of the message of 1 Peter 2:5: Jesus calls for "a radical disruption in his #religion, a great #spiritual migration. God wanted to dwell not in buildings of bricks or stones cemented together by mortar, but rather in human beings—living stones…cemented together by mutual love, honor, and respect."

The quote on the image below appears on page 46 of the book "Ramana Maharshi: Teachings of Self-Realization" by Robert Wolfe. It begins with, "For those who ask, 'What is to be done about the conditions in the world?', Ramana replies: 'First set yourself right, and then only set out to improve "others."'
In other words, only when you let go of your small self and accept the "capital S" Self can you hope to help "others" see that there are no others.
Now you can watch the video version of Episode 14 of the SBNR podcast: Awakening to Life's Sacred Moments: Journeying Through "Wake Up Call" with Tom Rapsas. In this episode, we explore highlights from several chapters of the book, with some helpful links in the episode description. Enjoy!

A Ramana Maharshi quote for this Friday night: “The Self cannot be the object of love; it is itself not different from love. Realize that you are the Self.” #SpiritualBNR #spirituality #RamanaMaharshi #quotes #nonduality #Self #Love

“Good vibes only” is a huge red flag to me because it basically translates to “bypasses emotional labor and hands it off to other people while ignoring the wake of pain caused while trying to constantly maintain an artificial and delusional pretense that light can exist without darkness.” In reality, “good vibes” exist only in contrast the suffering of someone somewhere and refusing to process that suffering is a form of spiritual and moral bypassing.
