0:00.0	Welcome to Ghost of a Podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Lignato. I'm an astrologer, psychic medium, and animal communicator. And I'm going to give you your weekly horoscope and no bullshit mystical advice for living your very best life.
0:16.2	Welcome back to Ghost of a Podcast. This week, I come to you with a really heavy heart.
0:26.2	The state of things in the world, and in particular in the United States, ooh, oof, dire. And honestly, I struggle with what to say. We are living through exceptional times and
0:43.5	exceptional circumstances. And the 47th president of the United States is using the tactic of shock
0:51.1	and awe and doing truly shocking, vile, horrible things in his first week.
1:00.7	And the truth of the matter is, if you've studied history at all, then you know that his
1:07.3	behavior is not completely unprecedented.
1:09.8	While it may be unprecedented in the particular
1:11.8	ways it's happening in this particular place, yeah, he's following a playbook, and it's a

1:45.3	How small acts of bravery and kindness can have a radical impact on the lives of the people
1:53.0	around you and on the direction of the world. Conscientious objection, not participating in restrictive and violent behavior, that takes courage
2:05.4	when that's what the government wants you to do, wants you to center terror and fear and rage.
2:13.0	That really is the whole point of the Shakaana approach, which is a militaristic approach.
2:19.7	The thing about it is that it's meant to make you feel helpless and hopeless, terrified.
2:27.3	And when you feel overwhelmed and hopeless and helpless and truly frightened for your welfare and the welfare of others.
2:36.3	You are disconnected from yourself, right?
2:40.9	Most of us just like leave our bodies and in many ways leave the present moment when we're in a state of fear.
