The Four Idiots: This is a story about four idiots. The first idiot was incredible with his hands. He could make anything and fix everything. But he could not read or write. So some thought he was an idiot. 1/8
The second idiot was excellent at reading and writing. He said to the first idiot, “You do not need to do anything. You just need to know everything. He looked down on the first idiot. But he himself was clumsy. So some thought he was the idiot. 2/8
The third idiot was a man of devotion. He said to the first idiot, “You do not need to do anything.” He said to the second idiot, “You do not need to know everything.” He said, “You just need to have faith.” The first two idiots thought this man was the real idiot. 3/8
The fourth idiot was a man of energy. He said to the first three, “You do not need to do anything. You do not need to know everything. You do not need faith in the unknown. Cant you already see? Everything is connected. The first three thought this man was a real tripper. 4/8
These four men usually don’t like each other. They never normally hang out. However, one day it was raining hard. They needed to get to shelter. The third idiot, the man of devotion, said, “I know a temple close by we can get shelter.” So they all went to the temple together. 5/8
This was the first time in history the four idiots were together. The Universe opened itself with a great roar. The third idiot said: “Why now? I’ve waited my whole life and you never came until now?” The Universe replied, “I’ve been waiting for you four idiots to get along.” 6/8
It has been thought of that these four idiots each live inside us. They are the body, mind, emotion and energy. When they do not get along life is hard. When they do, they translate to stability, clarity, devotion, and connection. 7/8
Enlightenment is when a wave sees its inseparable from ocean; when the weather sees its part of the vast sky; when a person sees the Universe inside a single mustard seed; when all four idiots are seen as one. Source: Sadhguru, India. 8/8

More than 60 refugees were released over the past two days from hotels and detention centres in Brisbane, Sydney and Darwin, according to the Refugee Action Coalition and legal representatives. 1/8 #TimeForAHome #HomeToBilo #AusUPR20 #Auspol Image
They were granted temporary visas after spending up to eight years in Australian detention on Pacific islands before being transferred to the country for medical treatment. 2/8
The group's release comes after more than 60 refugees were freed in similar circumstances in December/January.  Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton told local radio that it was "cheaper" for the refugees to be released into the community than to be held in detention. 3/8

Exclusive: by Erin Handley, 2021. 1/22 #TimeForAHome #HomeToBilo #AusUPR20 #Auspol
“But the Somali refugee's health problems would only become more severe in his years in offshore detention on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea, and later on Nauru. Mr Mohammed died of a heart condition in Perth this month, on February 15, a day after his 39th birthday.” 2/22
“Mr Mohammed first received tests on his heart in late 2014, when he was in PNG. But he was not transferred to Australia for treatment until almost five years later, when he suffered a heart attack on Nauru in April 2019.” 3/22

Power Threat Meaning Framework: This thread lets Australians see what a trauma informed response to sexual abuse or rape inherent in power structures looks like. This thread might trigger you. If it does please call Lifeline on 131114, or for any emergency, call 000. 1/36 #Auspol
Psychology’s been rightly criticised for ignoring for the social context of mental health difficulties and over focusing on individualised diagnoses of mental illness. Despite decades of research on connections between social inequalities and mental health difficulties. 2/36
‘Symptoms of inequality’ continue to be pathologised as ‘symptoms of mental illness’. This obscuring of inequalities continues to locate pathology within the individual. Some have argued that the psychiatric diagnosis systematically pathologises 3/36

“Allama Mahaprabhu was a great sage and Shiva devotee in India in the twelfth century. He was a spiritual guide to a remarkable fellowship of mystics. A subtle and profound being, he authored thousands of couplets of exceptional depth and mystical insight.” 1/18
Another great mystic and Shiva devotee, named Goraksha, was a yogi of kayakalpa. ‘Kaya’ literally means body; ‘kalpa’ means rejuvenation. This was the yogic science of strength and competence within the body. Goraksha’s body was as hard and stable as a rock.” 2/18
“One day, Goraksha challenged Allama: “You are considered a great yogi and Shiva devotee. Let us see what you are capable of.” Goraksha pulled out a diamond-tipped sword, handed it to Allama and said, ‘Take this sword and strike me hard on the head. See what happens.’” 3/18

“It is a happy talent to know how to play.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson. In a previous thread (attached) we explored the threat system and the self-soothing, or peace system. As noted, when there’s a real life and death danger we freeze, fight, or run away. 1/14
This thread explores four states to help regulate our emotions better. Firstly, lets split the threat system into two categories: Fight/run and freeze. Fight/run go together because they’re both about movement: towards the danger to fight it or to run away. 2/14
The second category is freeze and is about stillness: in the face of danger your response is to freeze in stillness. Both categories include an immediate threat however one is about movement and the other is about stillness. 3/14

We all have certain amount of energy each day. When our energy is just right we feel well and as if we can take on any challenge. This is because we are within our optimal level of arousal or what’s also known as the “Window of Tolerance”. We are safe enough and okay enough. 1/13
However, we’re not always in this window. Sometimes we have too much or too little energy. The good news is there’s only two directions to go: up or down. So we’re either in our window of tolerance (optimally aroused), attic (hyper aroused) or basement (hypo aroused). 2/13
The attic is too much energy, or arousal, and can be experienced as: anger, anxiety, overwhelm, terror, or even mania. The basement is too little energy, or arousal, and can be experienced as: tired, sad, numb, flat, empty, or depressed. So we can ask ourselves: Where am I? 3/13
