The perception of the world is shaped by how we respond to our instincts, emotions, and intuitions, which create a cognitive construct that filters and organizes our reality.
The mind processes these inputs, forming patterns that guide our thoughts, beliefs, and actions.
Social conditioning further influences this process, shaping how we interpret and respond to the world around us.
Political views are shaped by this same process, where instincts, emotions, and social conditioning combine to form beliefs about governance, justice, and society.
These views reflect how we interpret the world through our personal and cultural filters.
So, political views are indeed a personal, individual perception that may align with others but not necessarily for the same reasons.

“That some attachments may not survive the choice for authenticity is one of the most agonizing realizations one can come to.” — Gabor Maté
Yesterday, I made a thoughtful decision to cut ties with a very close friend of 30 years—a full Saturn return cycle. This isn’t new to me. Over the past four years, I’ve seen people leave my life without ever having the courage to come and talk to me. They might ask questions, but when I express my thoughts, they decide I’m some kind of threat.
The irony is, all I’m doing is questioning the narrative. I’m not telling anyone how to live or think. I’m simply asking, “Have you considered this?” or “What about that?” If someone takes that as an imposition or feels triggered, that’s on them.
Losing followers, by contrast, isn’t as important to me. I’m not doing what I do to gain followers. I appreciate the likes, sure, but they don’t change my behavior. My integrity doesn’t depend on how I’m being received. In fact, that’s the whole point of this post—if my actions were based on being accepted, I would be holding onto friendships out of fear. I’d be showing a version of myself that fits others’ expectations, rather than my true self.
There’s some sadness when a long-term friend leaves, but I always make space for that. Afterward, I ask myself: Is it worth reconnecting? Most times, the answer is no. I’d rather stay true to myself than lose who I am for the sake of keeping the peace. And I’m at peace with that.
Staying authentic might cost me relationships, but I’d rather be real than live behind a persona for the sake of being liked.
If you want to know more about this, I actually wrote an article in my book about how it feels to lose friends at this stage in life.

I’m just an observer of this shitshow—it’s incredible to see the level of programming. I escaped the matrix (NYC), so now I enjoy pointing out the obvious to the lib-tards, who can’t see or hear the truth because breaking free from the program would make them act differently.
It takes courage to stand up and speak the truth. Trump isn’t a saint, but I appreciate his boldness and how he says things directly. Americans are too afraid of not being NICE—forget nice, be authentic.
#Politics doesn’t solve anything; #Trump is showing the world how to be courageous. Real change will happen if we act individually - Be free 
Happy #fullmoon in Aries conjunct Chiron square mars in cancer
Your biggest strength is your biggest vulnerability - tending to it with care and embrace may initiate amazing possibilities
The Full Moon in Aries, conjunct Chiron and square Mars in Cancer, brings a potent mix of courage and vulnerability. This energy invites us to confront wounds related to self-identity and past hurts with compassion and courage. The tension from Mars in Cancer encourages us to find a balance between emotional sensitivity and assertive action. Embracing both strength and vulnerability can initiate powerful healing, opening the way for personal transformation and resilience.

“The Nature of my Reality: everything I need is in my body”
WRITTEN, ILLUSTRATED, AND DESIGNED BY MONIKA BRAVO
CO-PRODUCED + EDITED BY MARI BUDLONG
Published by Studio of Endless Ideas, 2024
This 4-color, 8” x 5” pocket-sized book includes 240 pages filled with anecdotes and vibrant, vectorized illustrations. It traces my journey from disempowerment to self-awareness through the lenses of Human Design and Evolutionary Astrology.
While not a study of these languages, this book provides unique insights that readers can apply to their own journey of liberation from generational and personal trauma. It explores the most important technology of the 20th century, Bitcoin, along with value, economics, propaganda, the origins of banking, and their connections to political and ecclesiastical authority. Through myth, numbers, and cycles, these themes are woven into a narrative of personal and societal transformation.
Written in a deeply personal, non-linear style, the book invites readers to create space for their own reflection. The illustrations add a unique visual element to the text.
Integrating Eastern, ancestral, and cosmological traditions with psychological inquiry and Austrian economics, my philosophy emphasizes liberty, value, resources, and self-worth in the pursuit of individual and societal service.
The digital version will be available on November 5, 2024.

#Reality is simply how your senses perceive it, sending information to your mind. So… if your senses and emotional body operate independently, guess who’s truly experiencing your life? Becoming aware of your reactions will bring light to your response mechanism—a great start.

This weekend is very tense and potentially explosive—go and create something. Energetically, we haven’t had this level of potential for a while, and it can either burn you or push your #creativity further.
With #Pluto going direct, it will stay in #Capricorn until November 19, revisiting and revealing the past 16 years. You’ll be amazed by the amount of power, control, and corruption that has been fueling the machine.
Stay creative, Not combative

Mediation rocks. I have never met someone who had a daily practice and wished they didn’t .. that says something 😊
If you’ve never tried it and don’t know where to start, there are plenty apps with free content, from beginner to advanced.
While yes,
you can just sit,
close your eyes,
and breathe,
unless you have already practiced some forms of mindfulness, it can be very challenging to meditate this way without any guidance.
That said, whatever works for you works, just do it..
at the very least try it for a few months and see what you notice.
You just might find it life-changing ✨ https://v.nostr.build/M7Ql6ULfEjEufvWJ.mp4

I recently posted this
I meditate every morning and sometimes an additional session during the day to realign myself. I’ve been practicing this for a couple of decades, and it provides a space where my mind isn’t racing—a space of quietude where I can also “program” my desires on all levels: physical, emotional, and mental, with specific intentions. This morning, I did a particularly powerful meditation focused on where I see myself a year from now.
I’ve done this, more or less, every year at the end of September for the past six years, and I must say—it works! I’m very precise about how I want to feel and what that looks like. Over the last four years, #bitcoin has been at the core, and in the last two years, #austrianeconomics has been a major focus. The central themes are always #freedom #humility #service and #beinganinspiration.
If you meditate, how does it work for you? Do you visualize? Do you tap into your imagination?
For me, #imagination is key. As a visual artist, it’s part of the process of conceiving both large and small projects that eventually materialize.

#Cynicism doesn’t work in times of crises because it leads to distrust, disengagement, and inaction—precisely when hope, unity, and constructive action are needed. The word crisis comes from the Greek krisis, meaning “decision” or “turning point,” highlighting that crises are moments requiring decisive action.
In ancient Greece, the Cynics, led by figures like Diogenes, rejected materialism, status, and societal norms to live in harmony with nature, believing that virtue was the only true good. Their philosophy was rooted in simplicity and rejecting corrupt societal values. While ancient Cynicism sought freedom, today’s cynicism often promotes apathy, which hinders problem-solving in challenging times.

Taxes in the USA are a contract you voluntarily sign each year. The 16th Amendment was never fully ratified. There’s only one way out: standing up for your inalienable rights. Like Bitcoin and Austrian economics, it requires a deep dive into understanding and reclaiming your sovereignty learning the language—you can’t hire a lawyer or assistant to do it for you! Stay free.
To all the millennials & Gen Zs: the Cross of Planning & the Age of Bargains are coming to an end, & 2027 is just around the corner. If you don’t embrace sovereignty in multiple ways, the next nine months will be brutal. We are moving into an age of individual empowerment as society’s institutions dissolve. The intention is to become based, free, & able to hold space & light for others.
This is a battle of light vs. dark, & the more people understand that the FIAT monetary system has enslaved the world, the sooner you can break free. Your generations are ready to rock & roll, & you were born with what it takes, but you must take action. You are here to confront, break free, dissolve, & restructure civilization. Dive deep, find your courage, & transform. The aim is to liberate your soul from PHARMA, trauma, & financial scarcity.
Give me a holler if you need support—my generation is of service.
