RIP Rauni Kilde



She was a Gladiator. We are building momentum. We are building serious gains in breaking through the membrane in public acceptance. There are rumbles of discomfort in the stadium seats. Bread and circuses are starting to be not enough for the masses anymore. They are not happy with it. They want something else. They want meaning. They want truth. Not the neutered truth. Not "Truther" truth, which more times than not is a pimply-faced kid screaming in your ear that you're the sheeple when in fact they are just as much the xenophobic, sexist,  homophobic, racist, antisemitic unchecked "truther" who is just like the people they claim to be against --- which is a lie/ more of meet the new boss, same as the old boss dichotomy/a trap/a trick/not very much like water.
But truth. Real truth. We are gaining.  Vow to fight. Vow to win.
There is nothing more.

Past Lives Calling, Please Pick Up


Pollice Verso, 1872, Jean-Léon Gérôme (Phoenix Art Museum)

For RG in Malaysia:
Victors received laurels, monetary payment, plus donations from the crowd. They could also win their freedom. At the end of service a gladiator won a rudis. He could then become a gladiator trainer or a freelance bodyguard -- like the men who followed Clodius Pulcher, the good-looking trouble-maker who plagued Cicero's life.

For everyone: 
Consider that when you are drawn to a stranger for some inexplicable reason, that person might have been calling you/calling out to the universe to solve something before you even realized it. Karma usually plays a role in this. Past lives calling? Answer: usually.
