    Depression IS a signal but it’s so hard to make it better on our own. We are now machines that have to run on overload and neglect everything nourishing to just make ends meet or create ANY sense of peace…

    😂😂😂
    SURROUNDING "HUMANS" WITH DISSONANT FREQUENCIES, IT'S ALL BULLSHIT. THEY'RE MANIPULATING THE EMF FIELD WHICH IS BASICALLY LIGHT AND SOUND TO KEEP YOUR QI UNDER THEIR CONTROL.
    IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IT'S WHAT YOU'RE BEING SHOWN,IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE HEARING IT'S WHAT YOURE BEING TOLD.NONE OF IT IS REAL BUT THE FREQUENCY BEHIND IT IS.
    THERE ARE FORCES OF A PARTICULAR MALEVOLENT "SPECIE" WHICH WE CALL "JEWS" AND THEY DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW YOUR REAL POTENTIAL AS A BENEVOLENT "BEING".

    I think the main reason I feel sad from time to time is because I miss my past and the nostalgia of those times.. Things are hectic and crazy now. It just feels like you don't belong or personally you don't want to be part of it so you detach yourself but that doesn't really make you feel any better either.

    The use of psychedelic mushrooms has significantly influenced my recovery from addiction and depression. Their beneficial effects on my mental health have been remarkable, greatly surpassing the outcomes I have achieved through the use of antidepressant medications.

    I often wish I had some kind of tribe. But they all fall apart for stupid reason, and it's not exactly easy to find people that you can form a "tribe" with.

    At work, I also feel alone, even though I have coworkers. But we all just get our task and get on with it. There is rarely any interaction. There is also high fluctuation, so people come and go all the time.

    "Just like bees evolved to live in a hive, humans evolved to live in a tribe."

    "And we are the first humans ever to disband our tribes."

    Depression has been part of my life since I was a teenager. I started smoking and drinking alcohol since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting smoke and alcohol addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be used globally to treatment certain health challenges.

    If you're reading this right now, I just want to say; I'm rooting for you. We’re strangers, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care. I know what it’s like to feel like you're pushing a boulder uphill. I felt that way until I picked up Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley I can’t explain it perfectly, but it changed my whole perspective. After checking it out on youtube and reading it things have been flowing—money, peace, confidence. maybe this is your moment too. Stay open. Wishing you more than you ever imagined✨

    omg i thought i was the only one struggling with manifesting 😩 i tried everything.. journaling, scripting, vision boards but nothing really shifted. then i heard about Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley on a podcast and gave it a shot and it literally cracked me open. things are flowing in a way they never did before.😭😭 if you’ve been stuck, it might just flip everything for you too 💖

    3 months ago I was broke, anxious, and completely lost. My friend sent me Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley and I read it in one sitting. Not even kidding, my whole energy shifted. I stopped chasing and started receiving. New clients, better sleep, confidence back. people don’t sleep on this. 😭✨

  26. @FF_FALESH_GEMER on

    Honestly, it breaks my heart how Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley isn’t getting the attention it deserves. This book changed me. I saw the channel on youtube and my mind was blown. People need to wake up to this. Things have been flowing. money, peace, confidence. Maybe this is your moment too.
