This Is My Take So Far | Season 5 | Episode 41

After a lengthy ramble to bring y’all up to speed on my life in general (chaos, coworking, and derailed plans), we get into my current fixation: pendulums. Reality Transurfing. Energy parasites. Chakra shadows. Frequency traps. Detachment as a hack. More Sleeping Phoenix era intel. Sovereign energy. Same shit, different point on the spiral.

It's Been 84 Years | Season 5 | Episode 40

Welcome to season 5, where we kick off with an episode in three parts: the unraveling, the reckoning, and the emergence. Performative conditioning. Grief. Sound baths and city council skullduggery. Authenticity and letting my Aries Mercury flag burn in the town square. Revolution to resolution. Let’s get into it. *Note: I play fast and loose with using Mercury in Aries and Aries in Mercury interchangeably in this episode. I know that’s not right, but it stays.  Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1972846/open_sms] Support the show [https://buymeacoffee.com/thedharmadiaries] www.thedharmadiaries.com [https://www.thedharmadiaries.com] About Christina: www.christinarusca.com [https://www.christinarusca.com] https://christinarusca.as.me [https://christinarusca.as.me] ChristinaRusca@gmail.com Cover Art: Justin Wutzke, Graphic Artist www.Wutzpossible.com [https://www.Wutzpossible.com] Music: DeLaurentis Pavane – Time Variation

Swirling Around in the Bardo | Season 4 | Episode 39

It’s been a while, and hopefully you haven’t been waiting for some powerhouse performance to mark my return, because I present to you an hour of existential angst and 8-point tangents. Here’s hoping I say a single thing that makes this worth your while, and that whatever is making me feel like I’m swimming in Jell-O…is on its way out. *fingers crossed*  Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1972846/open_sms] Support the show [https://buymeacoffee.com/thedharmadiaries] www.thedharmadiaries.com [https://www.thedharmadiaries.com] About Christina: www.christinarusca.com [https://www.christinarusca.com] https://christinarusca.as.me [https://christinarusca.as.me] ChristinaRusca@gmail.com Cover Art: Justin Wutzke, Graphic Artist www.Wutzpossible.com [https://www.Wutzpossible.com] Music: DeLaurentis Pavane – Time Variation

The End Credits Are Rolling | Season 4 | Episode 38

What if the real power move isn’t fighting the system but ignoring it into oblivion? Spoiler alert: it dies without the energy we give it. More hot takes on why protesting is overrated, why both political parties are flaming dumpster fires, and how divesting your attention is the ultimate rebellion. We’re talking personal sovereignty, the illusion of control, and how to stop funding systems that don’t serve you. Plus, why your higher self might just be watching you like a cosmic reality show (and rooting for you, obviously). TL;DR: Stop feeding the Matrix. Start feeding your soul. Let’s co-create the new game.
