Meditation for January 25th,
Boundaries as Laws
When you set up boundaries for yourself and make them known, they become known as Laws. When someone crosses those boundaries, they are breaking your Laws and need to be punished. Some therapeutic professionals would say that boundaries need to meet both parties’ needs, but really, the boundary should only protect your own needs. If the other person doesn’t agree to the boundary, then they have broken the Law.
Let’s take the example of the boundary of personal space. If I am a close talker and I have to stand inches away from you so that you feel the warm, moist air of my words wash across your face, the heat of my body pulsating against yours, and you tell me you don’t like that, you have crossed my boundary, and therefore have broken my Law.
If I call you and you don’t call me back, I know my Law has been broken. My boundary is that people ought to call me back immediately after I call them, so if they don’t, I know they have crossed my boundary and need to punish them with rage.
Here are the sentences for breaking my boundaries:
First offense: I ask to speak to you outside a public gathering and ask if anything is going on between us.
Second offense: Cold shoulder.
Third offense: I block you on all social media and start making vague posts about you on mine so my followers know you wronged me unjustly.
Fourth offense: The death penalty.
Prayer
God,
The Abrahamic God,
Who believes in justice more than most Gods.
Since even if you do everything right,
But doubt will banish you to hell.
Please smite those who crossed my boundaries,
Even though I didn’t tell them,
And actually, I didn’t know about the boundary,
Till I feel violated,
And now I know,
But they should have known.
Smite them, please.
I shouldn’t have to tell people my boundaries,
Nor should I even have to know my own boundaries,
That’s their job.
Amen.
Craft
If you are in a relationship, and you want to understand your boundaries better. Stand on opposite sides of the room facing each other. Now walk towards each other. Whoever stops first is the submissive, and the person who stops because the other person has stopped is not the dominant, because respecting the other person’s stop is also submissive. If you are dominant, walk until you are comfortable. If you are in love, you will walk until your two bodies are together, and you try to walk into the other person’s body. Being inside a body is the true sign of love.
Goal
From what I understand, there is no difference between a boundary, a law, and a demand.

Meditation for January 24th, 2016
Astro-gliding into the New Year
Forget everything you ever pretended to know about the zodiac. Reading things about yourself and being congratulated on blanket traits bestowed upon you by the stars is fun! Making life decisions and finding a sense of self is hard. So sit back, relax, and give up trying to figure out your own life, ‘cause this year’s fixin’ to be super obvious to me.
Aries (March 21- April 20):
Aries tend toward independence and courage. This year, it would be wise to abandon all sense of belonging and get an apartment on your own. Even if you own a home and have started a family, take your bravery up a notch by isolating yourself completely from others. Other people are difficult to tolerate, Aries, and love is a made-up religion invented by Hallmark.
Taurus (April 21- May 21):
When you drive a Taurus, your senses are heightened. The interior is expertly crafted, the controls are a finger’s press away, and the powertrain is impressively responsive. It’s designed to respect your comfort and respond to your needs.
Gemini (May 22- June 21):
Geminis are kind of all over the place with their personalities, and this year is no exception. It would be wise to check yourself into a hospital because every single existing Gemini will be experiencing temporary multiple personality disorder throughout the week Pluto aligns with Mercury. Just complain of chest pains, and you shouldn’t have a problem getting a room in triage.
Scorpio (October 24- November 22):
Buy a bed from Ikea. They have a really great warranty situation, and really, who needs a mattress for longer than 25 years?
Pisces (February 20- March 20):
You’re going to be needing to erase your sense of self this year, Pisces. Find a group of people and align everything you love and hate with their singular worldview. If they are cruel or critical, get some thicker skin and join in. The only way to survive this year is through an entire acceptance of a blindly loyal wolfpack of Peter Pans.
Cancer (June 22- July 22):
This year will be exciting for you! You will learn that despite your deep connection with the ocean, you are human. You are not, in fact, a crab. The cool thing, Moonchildren, is that while people can’t actually get away with the excuse, “I just crawl into my shell sometimes,” or “I just don’t remember stabbing you,” you can now have a real life! So get a job where you’re allowed to cry and have mood swings, or scare someone into marrying you!
Virgo (August 22- September 23):
Finally, everyone will listen to you, dear Virgo. You can sleep easily knowing that by the end of December, everyone in your life will have conformed to your abusively controlling behavior, and you will have amassed an army of slaves. Congratulations. You’re finally getting what you’ve always wanted.
Sagittarius (November 23- December 22):
I really don’t know anything about saggitariuseses.
Libra (September 24- October 23):
Your expensive tastes for rare artifacts will be satisfied if you work hard and lower your standards just a bit. Shoplifting is way easier than it seems. Hint- the Gap will never have you arrested. Practice at the mall and remember, heists are sexy. If you’re not willing to do crimes, use your manipulation tactics to trick someone weak yet beautiful into committing to you for life. It doesn’t matter how much you hate them, as long as your friends remain impressed by their internet presence.
Leo (July 23- August 21):
One time, I was smoking a cigarette on my front porch when this guy who looked like a cop walked through my neighbor’s yard with a dog. I figured I was probably being paranoid because of the German shepherd and because I hate cops. I went to Safeway, got lost in their incredible selection of Lay-Z-Boys for like two hours, and when I got back home, there were a bunch of guys in hazmat suits in front of my neighbor’s house. Turned out it was a meth lab. Just goes to show you, you never really know what’s going on next door.
Capricorn (December 23- January 20):
Capricorn! You are going to win the lottery this year, so spend every dollar you make on Powerball tickets. If you run out of money, get on a crowdfunding website and say you have a fatal illness. I’m pretty sure they don’t fact-check those things, and I’m going to need $100 in September.
Aquarius (January 21- February 19):
Make sure you tell everyone about every moon phase that happens this year, Aquarius. Make sure everyone around you knows deep in their heart that they don’t know how to take care of themselves, and don’t be afraid to flagrantly throw around unsolicited advice, because anyone who doesn’t know that you’re always right doesn’t matter. By the time you’re done with your yoga instructor training, you will be treating all your friends’ kids’ illnesses with chiropractic herbalism. At the same time, you wax on about holistic lifestyles being the most humble because of the earth, the woods, and stuff.
