Reposted via @democracynow Episode entitled, “‘A Textbook Case of Genocide’: Israeli Holocaust Scholar Raz Segal Decries Israel’s Assault on Gaza” Aired/posted 10.16.22 { I viewed it via their YouTube channel where you can find super impactful headlines throughout the day, but you can also find this and many other videos with accompanying transcripts via their website democracynow.org } Description via site: Raz Segal, an Israeli expert in modern genocide, calls Israel’s assault on Gaza a textbook case of “intent to commit genocide” and its rationalization of its violence a “shameful use” of the lessons of the Holocaust. Israeli state exceptionalism and comparisons of its Palestinians victims to “Nazis” are used to “justify, rationalize, deny, distort, disavow mass violence against Palestinians,” says Segal.

So slight correction: “𝚆𝚒𝚝𝚑 & 𝙸𝚗: 𝙰 𝙼𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚁𝚎𝚒𝚔𝚒 𝙴𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎” is actually about 3 days away instead of the 5 days I mentioned in this (yeah, Life doesn’t always care about personal deadlines)….but every other point is 1000% still all true!… …𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲: the co-creation of this 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 we all are witnessing take shape NEEDS ALL OF US, in our 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘉𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 and 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘴, as our 𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘈𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘥 & 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 selves…but more spaces are needed for us to ｒｅ－ｍｅｍｂｅｒ our 𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀, ｒｅｃａｌｉｂｒａｔｅ our 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀 & ｒｅｕｎｉｆｙ (/cultivate sustainable relationship with) 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀, 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝗺𝗼𝘀, & 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 to be able to show up this way.

𝙾𝚍𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝙽𝚎𝚠 𝚃𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜𝚜𝚜 𝙎𝙡𝙞𝙙𝙚 1: “Actual footage” of what it’s feeling like at this phase in my life to prep for sharing an offering in a space that’s new for me: …there’s so much thrill in the whole activity of it, and it’s definitely stirring up all sorts of joy…& I’m feeling into it…I’m feeling into the feeling that the direction feels “right”—i mean I ammm facing forward… …mind stuff always loves loves to pop up & out in my little flow too tho— I’m feeling lit up, facing forward, sorta doing this floating-flying thing…but/& I’m also feeling like there’s this need to reset my focus a little, I’m also sorta doing this moving-backwards-to-move-forward thing while also taking a little dip thing in between… …and I know I’m moving, and the focus is forward (mostly)…but as long as this backwards feeling is still a thing, this curiosity around “direction” is still a thing too… …I’ve got momentum, but I’m not really “going anywhere”…& that’s a real feeling…I’ve been definitely taking all sorts of dips, but I’m still right here swinging, in my own little swing AND outside in community…this time I guess I’m just in a different swing on a different playground…& I’ve got momentum…& it’s coming with this flying feeling…so I guess I’m just “up”…& I guess I’m just trying to go “up” with my community. “[More than] two things can be true at the same time” (i.e. having certain direction AND feeling lost WHILE going somewhere AND no where at the same time…) …Also liiiiike these two offerings, taking place in a new space for me, at the end of this week!

Not sure how long I’m going to leave this up but for now… …me just over here spewing out all this new excitement for “With & In: A Meditative Reiki Experience” thanks to Caroline Shola Arewa after finishing chapter 2 of their book “Opening to Spirit” Whewww this level of resonance is why I stay in love with Practice on such a real level, even when it’s icky and staticky…cause the timelines& spirals always makes their way back to this amazement that literally lifts me up •••••••••• With & In: A Meditative Reiki Experience Sunday 4.13.25 1-2:30pm Link in bio

“My journey with this book has been long, it has been uplifting and fulfilling, mostly sweet and always revealing. At times it has been painful as I realize our Ancestors suffered so much to keep alive the sacred traditions that now, in this time of need, we are desperately reclaiming. I have battled with anger and prayed for love as I have grieved for our many Ancestors who were killed while their traditions were suppressed. I have felt and remembered those that were forced to believe in what for them was a limited reality. This reality of ‘so-called’ civilization is now taking its toll on many of us who try to live in its narrow confines. I believe it is time for us make rapid changes in the way we live. We need to re-evaluate spiritual traditions that have survived for thousands of years and integrate ancient knowledge with the science of our time. We must open the doors of perception and let Spirit in. As we move forward into the next age the spirits of the ancients are reminding us that we are one people born from the essence of love. We ride on the same wheel of life and are bound by the same laws of nature. The Eternal spirit dwells within us all. We each have a responsibility to make personal changes that will cause peace and harmony to prevail in the world we share. It is time for many of us to reassess our life’s and be guided by Spirit.” -Caroline Shola Arewa, “Opening to Spirit” Replace “book” in the first paragraph with “Practice” and you read an excerpt that summarizes a ton of my journal pages and notes for Grounding down this Offering. Hope I get to share space with you on the 13th! Sunday ~ 4.13.25 ~ 1-2:30pm ~ Eaton Wellness Link in bio 🫶🏽 ✨
