I Am a Mess
I’m a hot mess. Superficially, my life is pretty decent: I have a cute boyfriend, a good job in my field, and a savings account (yes, I just bragged about having a saving account and what?!) But spiritually—it’s like Judas took a dump on the floor of a gas station bathroom after wolfing down five burrito bowls from Chipotle. I’m not even exaggerating. I have this weird hole that I can’t fill. And I always thought that phrase was cliche but for me it’s not. It’s a hole that can’t be filled with recreational drugs, drinking, dick, or quality time with friends. Because on paper I have everything I need to feel... full. But I’m not.

Review of 'The Man in the High Castle' Season 4
I've been saying ever since Trump began running for President with his anti-immigration polices that The Man in the High Castle and its alternate reality of literally Nazi America had special relevance to the reality in which we now all reside, in which the Allies not the Axis won the Second World War. In the final season of this extraordinary adaptation of Philip K. Dick's extraordinary 1962 novel, immigration plays a major role in the story, especially in the very last scene of the series.

What Is the Hidden Significance Behind the March of Time?
When observing the march of time, it is usually noted that time has a complex and thoroughly integrated scientific method which involves space-time. Ordinarily, it may simply tick away and eventually mark the closing numbers at the end of a phase, whatever that instance may be. We in the United States have a constant fixation on the continuously updating position of the clock. Rather than thinking primarily about a busy lifestyle that relies on keeping track of events and how they can fit in with each other, we can also become accustomed to a less standard mode of viewing time. While having our consciousness tuned into linear events, I think that we can tune into a new linear paradigm when observing the progression of the day.

Happily Ever After
Chapter One Our story begins on a cold dreary Tuesday morning. It was an ordinary Tuesday morning, cold and damp from the light rain that had fallen throughout the night. The sun had just begun to peek over the horizon as our young hero swayed back and forth from atop his steed. The young hero groaned softly between each sway as they made their way up the small hill.

Fire Signs (Mid November Energy Readings)
Just before things couldn't have gotten any worse, they did anyways, Aries. Seems like some flame throwers had a run of bad luck. People weren't seeing eye to eye with you and it seemed like there was conflict every week internally or externally of you. Some of you had to bite the bullet coming out of October and just accept and forgive the fact that you were wrong about some things. Although things were pretty bad, you stuck it out because ultimately what this year taught you is that things get worse before they get better.

Toxic Waste Management
As a society, we have a healthy and unhealthy relationship with toxic waste material. Let me explain a little bit more if this sounds confusing. We use a toxic substance to help fight cancer for patients in hospitals while it also being used for electrical power. To power towns and cities across the world. But in our society, we are having a shift in consciousness about the future of our planet. About climate change, raising carbon emission and having or finding solutions to fixing it for future generations. But one area in this new green age movement that we are forgetting the conservation about is toxic waste material. Toxic material and substances aren’t going away anytime soon since our population increase, the amount of toxic waste must of increase too. But on the plus side, we need to take a moment to honor the people that work alongside dealing with toxic material and substances on daily bases trying their hardest to keep our cities and towns safe from these substances and materials. While on the other side trying to make awareness to survivors and victims to toxic waste material that been plaguing their lives for many years. Even with the best efforts available, some of our toxic waste is getting out of hand. In recent years and months, we had to come face to face with it more than usual. Either there is little funding, research in this area, or even voices to talk about this. Sooner or later, we have to have a discussion about it on a global scale. We should be praising countries and people trying to get rid of the idea of keep using toxic waste in our daily lives, but also seeking other healthier alternatives. Let’s first begin the conversation about nuclear waste, which barely has a voice.

A Walk in the Park
“I'm sorry, Sir—but are you completely mad?” My assistant, Jonathan, asked me on a particularly brisk Thursday morning as I enlightened him to my proposition. We were walking in the park opposite the Venusian Experimental Celestial Colonisation Laboratory in which we both worked. “You want to—what?” he asked again, in utter disbelief.

Full Moon in Taurus
If you like this piece make sure to tip me! Also make sure to check out my Etsy shop "TheArtisan Tarot" or www.tarotbymoon.com for your free mini full moon guide. As well as the podcast The Mages Circle which is on Spotify! The full moon in Taurus is about the sector of life that deals with the second house. The second house is a ruler of the home life and material possessions. How we relate to our home life, how from there we recharge and find our time to go within more and learn about our selves, and more about our individual identity (as well as our spiritual identity) is our fundamental place where we learn how to exist as a part of society and where we have fun without individuality.

How to Plan for Solar While Building a New Home?
Going Solar is now the utmost trend among Australians. Thanks to government measures and support for promoting the solar revolution. The Council of Sydney is trying to make the city run 100% on renewable energy by 2030. The plan was discussed in 2014 with the blueprints publicly. Solar Cities is a demonstration program designed to promote solar power, smart meters, and energy conservation in urban locations throughout Townsville and Queensland of Australia. An average-sized system (roughly five kilowatts) will cost between $25,000 and $35,000. Larger installations will require more hardware, planning and construction time. Government rebates, flexible payment options, and upgraded pv solar technologies have further boosted the solar drive.

My Review of 'Bob Lazar: Area 51 and Flying Saucers'
In this documentary: Bob Lazar: Area 51 and Flying Saucers, the filmmaker makes it apparent that Bob Lazar is an absolutely interesting person. Not only is he a brilliant person but his mind is curious and he has moral obligations.
