OWN YOUR OWN MIND
This 1989 headline demonstrates exactly what Wayists navigate constantly — manufactured urgency, apocalyptic predictions designed to trigger fear and compliance, narratives that shift when convenient.
🦋The Wayist Response: Not dismissing environmental concerns, but recognizing when we're being manipulated into panic rather than invited to wisdom.
⭕Notice:
⭕The absolute certainty ("entire nations could be wiped off")
⭕The deadline pressure ("by the year 2000")
⭕The authority appeal (U.N. official)
⭕The emotional manipulation (disaster, catastrophe)
36 years later, we can evaluate the prediction soberly. Were any nations wiped off the Earth by rising sea levels by 2000? No. Does that mean environmental issues don't exist? Also no.
🦋The Lesson: When someone demands you accept their truth right now with apocalyptic urgency, that's precisely when you need to step back and own your own mind. Observe. Question. Wait for wisdom rather than reacting from fear. Make decisions based on dharma and direct observation, not manufactured panic.
The same pattern repeats across decades — different crisis, same manipulation technique. Recognize the pattern, and you free yourself from the cycle.
🦋This is why Wayists focus on what we can control, live flexibly, and choose our responses rather than being emotionally hijacked by each new "urgent" narrative.

Hummingbirds - feed recipe
Do's and Don'ts of Hummingbird Feeder
Hummingbirds are delicate wonders, and feeding them requires care to keep them healthy. Here’s a concise guide on preparing and maintaining hummingbird feeders, focusing on the correct sugar-water ratio and safe practices.
💚Do's:
Use the Correct Ratio: Mix 1 part white granulated sugar with 4 parts clean, boiled water (e.g., 1 cup sugar to 4 cups water). Boil the water first to kill bacteria, dissolve the sugar, then let it cool before filling feeders. This mimics natural nectar’s sweetness.
💚Clean Feeders Regularly: Wash feeders every 3–4 days (or every 2 days in hot weather) with mild dish soap and hot water. Rinse thoroughly to remove soap residue. Regular cleaning prevents mold and fermentation, which can harm hummingbirds.
💚Place Feeders Wisely: Hang feeders in shaded areas to slow nectar spoilage. Position them 10–15 feet from windows to reduce collisions and near flowers to attract hummingbirds.
💚Change Nectar Frequently: Replace nectar every 3–5 days, or sooner if it looks cloudy or has debris. Fresh nectar keeps hummingbirds safe from infections.
💚Use Red Feeders: Hummingbirds are drawn to red. Choose feeders with red feeding ports or bases, but avoid artificial dyes in the nectar, as they’re unnecessary and potentially harmful.
🧡Don'ts:
Don’t Use Honey, Brown Sugar, or Alternatives: Honey ferments quickly, fostering harmful bacteria and fungi that can cause tongue infections in hummingbirds. Brown sugar, molasses, or organic sugars contain minerals that hummingbirds can’t digest, risking illness. Stick to white granulated sugar only.
🧡Don’t Use Bleach or Harsh Chemicals: Bleach is toxic to hummingbirds if not fully rinsed. Use mild dish soap instead, and scrub with a bottle brush to remove mold or residue. Vinegar (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water) can be a natural alternative for tough stains, followed by thorough rinsing.
🧡Don’t Add Red Dye: Commercial nectar mixes often include red dye, which is unnecessary and may harm hummingbirds’ kidneys or liver. The feeder’s red parts are enough to attract them.
🧡Don’t Overfill Feeders: Only fill with enough nectar for a few days to avoid spoilage. In hot climates, nectar can ferment in as little as 24–48 hours.
🧡Don’t Ignore Mold or Insects: Black mold in feeders is deadly to hummingbirds. If you see mold, clean immediately. Use feeders with bee guards to deter ants and bees, or add a water moat to keep insects out.

The hummingbird, a tiny marvel of nature, embodies the extraordinary. Weighing less than a nickel, these iridescent gems can flap their wings up to 80 times per second, hovering with precision to sip nectar from vibrant flowers. Their ability to fly backward and their dazzling colors — like the ruby-throated hummingbird’s emerald green and fiery red — make them living jewels. In the spirit of theWAY, their tireless energy and grace remind us to find joy in life’s fleeting moments.

"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found.
I found it is in the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay ... small acts of kindness and love."

Why do religious authorities find Jesus so threatening? Islam, Judaism, and Christianity all fear the challenge to their monopoly on divine connection. https://buff.ly/esyJFgu

Here’s what makes this teaching revolutionary: Every human soul is evolving into a divine being. Not through religious belief or moral perfection, but through practical spiritual development and direct divine connection. Earth isn’t a testing ground for a wrathful God’s scheme—it’s a schoo...
