Hello beautiful people!
Welcome to the Abundance.Tribe Weekly Curation, where I (@trucklife-family) get to showcase some of the great Articles that the tribe members created and that really embody what the Tribe stands for.
The AbundanceTribe, formally know as TribeSteemUp community was created by @kennyskitchen. As we have moved to Hive we wanted to create a new name that really represents what we are all about. The Abunadance.Tribe is a Community Abundance Generator, which supports authors who write articles that look at ways in which we can become more empowered and create a more peaceful and free world.
The authors who have been chosen to become part of the TribeSteemUp community are all writing content of high quality, and they all focus on topics related to the bettering of life, such as:
| Community Empowerment | Love | Original Music | Esotericism |
| Healthy Recipes | Psychedelics | Truth | Permaculture |
The following articles are all about inspiring us and motivating us to become more aware in our daily lives. Life is all about learning, evolving and being mindful in all that we do. By coming together and engaging with one another we can all share our wisdom and empower one another. We can create the world in which we all wish to live. Happy reading and remember to show your appreciation by upvoting and commenting. You can go one step further by following the TribeVibes Curation Trail, this way way you are supporting all the great authors who are creating quality content.
A Country Divided, Depressed and Angry
@dungeonmaster93
Three months of fear-driving narratives, conflicting expert advise and economic uncertainty have only exacerbated the mental health crisis in America. The Washington Post continues the story with its latest report that states..."A third of Americans are showing signs of clinical anxiety or depression, Census Bureau data shows..."
"It's understandable given what's happening. It would be strange if you didn't feel anxious and depressed," Oquendo said. "This virus is not like a hurricane or earthquake or even terrorist attack. It's not something you can see or touch, and yet the fear of it is everywhere."
ENGAGE ON HIVE: Still trying to figure out who I am... Care to join me on the trip?
@fenngen
Have you ever found yourself doing something that is just way off the tracks of your original intentions? I do it all the time and I think that is something that partially defines my very being.
Not sticking to plans, dealing with situations as they come… that’s kind of my thing. There is some sort of eco-romantic narrative that glues the whole story together, but aside from that it seems a series of random events that follow little logic.
When I say eco-romantic narrative I mean that usually my actions have the final goal of reaching a life that is in the best possible harmony human life can have with the native ecosystems of wherever I might make my home.
The fact that there are "new cases" of COVID-19 means literally nothing
@kennyskitchen
Over the last couple of weeks, since states have started re-opening, there's been a lot of headlines (1, 2) making claims about new cases, trying to make it seem like the ending of the lockdowns is the cause of those new cases.
The thing is, those "cases" could easily have been infected weeks or months ago, and as the Australian Department of Health says: "The extent to which a positive PCR result correlates with the infectious state of an individual is still being determined." That's assuming they indicate anything at all.
Thai Tobacco: Traditional Medicine for Body & Spirit
@artemislives
Tobacco (botanically Nicotiana tabacum) is officially registered as a Traditional Thai Medicine, and is used in the most fascinating ways.
Snuff - a powdered herbal inhalant - has been common in Asia for hundreds of years and probably popularized into Thai culture via both the colonial English teak loggers along the Thai-Burmese border, and via the courts of the kings of the House of Chakri. One of snuff's primary ingredients? Finely powdered tobacco. In Thai, snuff is called Ya Nut. ยานัตถุ์
How to Heal the Insanity of Humanity
@earthcustodians
This video is one hour worth your time. The guest, Paul Levy, @11:50mins only confirms millennia-old teachings such as Hermeticism, Gnosticism, Vedic, and Latin American Indigenous, and describing "cognitive polarization" as the root cause of collective psychosis called Wetiko. And that no matter how pure we think our intentions are to help humanity free itself, dualism and polarity have to be fully understood, along with the process as to how they come about, will we add. Meaning that elite, gender, cultural criticism is just making matters worse if no self-criticism is offered because the environment is a mirror.
Thinking Out Loud! - Why Are So Many Believing This Narrative?
@trucklife-family
It’s so hard to get away from talking about this current narrative and how it is affecting all of our lives.How the media is constantly bombarding us with messages about how we need to stay safe and stay alert and protect one another. Whilst making us feel guilty if we do not follow their advice, if we do not follow the rules put in place by the government. Really pushing home how we need to protect others and that the reason we are taking all these measures of social distancing and of wearing masks is really out of consideration for other people and their well being.
ecoVillages Journal #26: What's happened during my first month in Portugal!
@eco-alex
It has been a whirlwind journey so far! So much has happened, important decisions made.. and a VERy firm commitment by myself has been established. I have moved 8 times in as many weeks, and right now I crave and look forward to some stability and safe space. Feeling vulnerable has been a huge theme during this journey, and on more than one occasion have found myself in the position of having to suddenly leave due to what i will simply call human emotions, exacerbated by a very difficult time for everyone. I am SO happy that I have managed to hold myself together.

Forge Your Tribes & Create Synergies Now!
@paradigmprospect
The times we find ourselves in demand the utmost from us, they demand answers in terms of our stance and our attitude, in terms of our behavior and outlook. Where the mind can become overly involved and overwhelmed our inner sense may guide us through this tornado of upheaval on the world stage.
But maybe due to our conditioning or due to our habits - we often try to face these emerging challenges on our own. The situation has even deepened this leaning to making things happen ourselves and to not rely on our tribal bonds, because isolation is the theme of this year and isolation attempts to break apart strong tribal bonds that exist for a reason: Because tribal bonds are powerful!
The Matrix has you...
@lukestokes
When you get free stuff do you feel helpless or empowered?
If you have the ability to destroy something, do you feel controlled by it or do you feel power and ownership over it?
It’s no surprise to me riots often lead to physical harm and looting. Violence is a tragic expression of an unmet need. There are a lot of unmet needs right now as unemployment skyrockets and people are scared and worried and fearful and trying to figure out how to pay their bills and feed their kids. A tiny group of people can turn a peaceful assembly into property destruction and violence.
Open Letter to Marginalized People of Power
@nateonsteemit
Private businesses don't choke people in the streets.
Private businesses aren't launching rubber bullets at people on their porches.
Private businesses don't have a legal system to excuse their actions and aren't incentivised to divide communities.
Private businesses didn't sign up for this.
Private businesses are going to be there to supply what you need when you need it and will help the community that supports them.
Don't burn private businesses. They have nothing to do with today's oppression and inequality.
Covid-19 lockdown day 66 – The system is broken, the youth will fix it
@julianhorack
We might benefit from reframing the way we look at our reality or what we call our normalcy. As we grow up and got through the education system, we accept and absorb the interpretation of reality we are fed. But as we mature and see how it works and what happens, sometimes the perception shifts as to what is normal or abnormal.
By looking at the results of the actions of most of the leaders and leading corporations, it appears as if their motives are too selfish to sustain in the long run. The environment is taking strain, society is taking strain, the individual is taking strain. And it needn’t be this way.
A Reborn Tribal Spirit Guide from a Lost Civilization in a Past Life
@elamental
The depiction of this golden idol connected my intuition with such familiarity that I recognized its presence from a previous life. It drew my gaze as I looked into it's depths, sensing the multidimensional facets of it. From my perspective I saw my own spirit guide - the owl - holding an ominous yet protective presence, and was seemingly guarding and supporting the four dancing humans beneath it, which I saw as the owl's original tribe.
Zoomorphic Symbolism
Although I saw an owl in this symbol, it turns out that each person I showed this image to saw something different in it. People even had trouble agreeing on whether the objects on the top and sides were feathers or leaves.
Trump's Anti-Censorship Order Will Promote More Censorship - Deep Dives 18
@krnel
Censorship sucks. That's pretty obvious. If you haven't been on the receiving end of it, you probably know of someone who's felt it. Pick a popular social media platform and there are hundreds if not thousands of people who have been censored on each.
It's been ramping up the past 2-3 years. People have called for government to be the big brother and regulate (control) these big tech giants. And Trump has initiated steps to do that. Last week he signed an Executive Order to reevaluate Section 230 of the FTC. The argument is they act as editors, so they should be exempt for the 'liability shield' provided by Section 230.
On Swimming & Yoga, and Churning the Waters Of the Self
@riverflows
This week, I've been practicing quite challenging vinyasa practices through my home studio's online teachings. I was blessed with a free 6 months membership because I can't access the live classes - the timings are wrong, with me on the other side of the world. It's a beautiful gesture, and I'm so grateful. I'm good at my home practice, but it's also really nice to be connected to home in some way and the yoga community there. It also helps me commit to a full hour without getting distracted. I need the fire in my belly, lest I sink into the depths of laziness and depression, which I can tend to do without steely determination to keep my head above water.

The @Abundance.Tribe Bi-Weekly Question
Focalized by @Trucklife-Family
The aim of the biweekly question is to help promote self awareness, so that we can begin to go back to a point in our lives, where we are connecting more with our intuitive self. By asking these questions, we are getting one another to dig deep and to reflect on our lives. To focus on what we really want in life and on how we are going to achieve it.
This question today has been put forward by @indigoocean
How has your energetic experience changed during this global pandemic?

Abundance Tribe's Evergreen Collection #2 - Breathing Life Into Paid Out Posts
Focalized by @artemislives
There are so many good posts which are enjoyed so fleetingly, or perhaps not at all. Maybe it was published before you joined Hive or not yet following that author? Or that was the week you were fasting in a yurt in Mongolia without wifi? Life happens and the 7 day post rewards window is short. Many would say too short. There are also just so many reasons why a post is overlooked, forgotten or received less reward than it should have: autovoters were down, token price crashed, or it was another Hard Fork within moments of you pressing 'publish".
