Lavenderism is a reformed new religious movement and/or form of spirituality. It is based on philosophy, activism, self improvement and the worship (or veneration) of innumerable spirits and gods, though many are initially unimportant. It also includes magical practices that can benefit those who are able to wield them.

Once upon a time there was a man from India with powerful healing powers. He walked down the street one day to see a woman who had been hit by a car, but he put his hands in her hair and immediately healed all her broken bones and bodily trauma. She got up and was amazed by her lack of injuries. The healing man went all around the country performing miracles like this one that none would ever believe, and he got a following of people who he helped with their health.

The man showed people herbal remedies that were more powerful than modern medicine. He also showed them which foods provide them with better nutrition than the cancer-causing fast food people have now. Many people followed him and liked his work, but he also caught the attention of corporations that lost money if people stopped consuming bad food and getting sick. He began being threatened by large corporations and other entities with an interest in keeping the population existing at a low vibration. He relocated a few times, but was unable to outrun the assassins sent by big pharma.

One day, the man was relaxing at home when the assassins came and took him to the beach. They tied an anchor to his legs and took him out to the sea to drop him to make him drown. He was rescued by The Lady Of The Waves who gave him a seashell full of air while she destroyed the chains keeping him down. She also gave him a boat that he used to flee to South America, and he went deep into the jungle where big pharma could never find him. He shared his healing power with those who lived in harmony with the Earth.

Today is Veteran’s day, which by revolutionary standards is an invalid holiday. It is government propaganda glorifying a military that operates on imperialism and defense of bourgeois political and economic systems. Memorial is the exact same thing. Ask any person living in the matrix and they talk about “Celebrating the people who defended our country” or some other CIA approved idea that they have about it. It needs to be stated how problematic it is for so many people to believe in a holiday that only exists to provide support to the totalitarian regime that the masses are suffering under. The idea that the American regime has the ability to create a holiday for its mercenaries, should be laughed off by anyone.

So looking at the roster of holidays that exist in the west, many are propagandistic and/or even distort actual history. Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, etc. Will we ever be free from these invalid holidays that only exist to propagandize us? Only indoctrinated liberals would think celebrating American veterans is a good thing. That’s like celebrating the police or supreme court judges. No person with revolutionary thought will bother shedding crocodile tears for those class enemies, let alone throw flowers at them on some fake pro-America holiday.

Once upon a time, there was a magician who attempted to permanently move into the wooded areas of the underworld. He did not want to live in the land of the living after seeing the underworld, and he even planned on giving people potions to join him there. He cut some trees to build a cabin in lands that were disputed by the animal kingdoms of the wood. He was fine at first and even managed to live there, but he eventually got the attention of the mirror maidens of hell who did not like living mortals settling in the wood. They constantly sent him away, but as a permanent resident over the wood he developed the ability to return at will, and any attempts to send him away were futile.

Tensions heated up between the mirror people and the man settled in a cabin in the wood, so they eventually began damaging his property in an attempt to forcefully relocate him to a place where living mortals would be allowed to reside. The situation was so controversial that even random silkworm and deer spirits began rushing to the defense of the man and his home, which is considered a large taboo for them since the mirror people are considered the guardians of the spirit world. The leaders of various civilizations of the wood were contacted, but many decided that the issue was best resolved on its own.

The mirror maidens became extremely angry with the man and after a long time of being unable to make him leave, they broke into the man’s cabin and jumped on him, and then danced on top of him to kill him. After his death, he was no longer a mortal but had been chosen by The Wood to be its guardian. He became a skeleton deer with large antlers, and vines growing on his bones. Some of his bones are pale white, but some appear to be carved from the dark branches of the trees of the wood. He also has some moss and pebbles where his organs used to be, and watches over the wooded areas of the underworld, occasionally helping people sneak into the underworld who are not meant to be.

When a person is said to have a black tongue, it is a metaphor comparing them to the Tibetan king Langdarma who was said to be exceptionally evil and cruel. They may also say you have the black tongue of Langdarma himself. Some people have conditions where their tongue has black spots or excessive charcoal use can cause the blackening of a person’s tongue, but most people view this saying metaphorically or spiritually as opposed to considering an actual black tongue as a sign of evil, because there are not enough black tongues in the world for that to be accurate.

To see black tongues with your third eye, simply focus on a person and envision them in your mind’s eye. Try practicing on someone you know would have a black tongue like R. Kelly or Bill Cosby. You may also notice that your third eye gives you black tongue visions depending on your own morality. Some things may be illegal in modern society for some reason, but the black tongue vision is not based on the legal systems of some random country that you were born into or took a flight into. It is based on your ideas of what actions you would consider evil. This is also relative, and if you are infallibly good or a serial killer then your sense of morality will be too distorted and impractical to actually get much use out of this skill. You can also tweak this vision depending on the action, by ignoring certain actions you know or suspect a person of having done. But when you are choosing to ignore something and still see a black tongue on someone, that means they do multiple things you consider immoral.

The black tongue vision doesn’t mean you should disconnect or confront anyone but just be wary of those you get visions of with a black tongue in your mind’s eye. This will not work in scripted shows because you will only see the actor, and just because someone has a black tongue you can see does not mean you will ever realize or care what the actions they committed are. Even though it may seem fluttering or discomforting since you only see the tongues and never explanations, but you are still better off than you would be without the knowledge.

I pray to The Chairman, the god of the class struggle, to help the people of Palestine. I ask that they be protected from the plague occupying most of their land, and to guide them towards victory in any form of struggle against their occupiers. I pray that the people of Palestine know peace and happiness and are given the strength to destroy any who would attempt to harm them. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

After The Rose Bunny lied about his actions to get Archandisos expelled from the land of the gods, rumors began circulating about what she had actually done and the celestial bureaucracy decided to appeal his banishment to the land of the gods. During his trial, he caught the attention of Koikatsu No Kami, a normal boy who died saving his younger brother in a car accident and was rewarded with a position in the celestial bureaucracy.

During the case, Archandisos became arrogant once it was abundantly clear to all that The Rose Bunny had fabricated stories. Despite being accused of dishonoring her, no other person ever heard him speak a single negative word about any of his partners. Eventually, The Rose Bunny withdrew her accusation but never admitted to any wrongdoing. Overjoyed by his success in the case, Archandisos ripped off his shirt and flexed his muscles while leaping on the podium he stood behind. This caused Koikatsu No Kami to begin bleeding from his nose.

The other celestial maidens were surprised and confused, so they ordered him to the infirmary to rest in solitude. Some knew there was an attraction between the two, but even those pretended not to know out of respect. However, after the trial Archandisos pursued the boy, because as an incubus he knew the meaning of a nosebleed. They began developing a relationship, and for weeks the entire celestial bureaucracy was gossiping about their relationship. Some were jealous but others were just extremely surprised.

After months, Koikatsu No Kami was frustrated by the lack of monogamy that Archandisos was unwilling to provide. They held affinity for each other, but decided to seek out other relationships. Koikatsu No Kami is rumored to have forbidden affairs with Archandisos as well as New Gods or other deities that other celestials are forbidden from being in contact with, but no other gods speak about it.

You should never cast a curse or anything harmful on other people, but I will tell you how to cast Havana syndrome for its folkloric value and because all communists have the ability to cast it. It is associated with The Jade Chairman and therefore comrades are immune to this type of magic. It can only affect class enemies and attempting it outside of that context, or on a person that is spiritually protected can cause it to backfire or may alert the person who can send something back.

For this spell, take some clay and mold it into the shape of a person. Then take that clay figure, and write the name of a person on it who you want to cast Havana syndrome on and put the doll into the oven for a few seconds. You should spray yourself in florida water and use bay leaves on the clay doll by rubbing them in or putting them inside the clay, so that you separate your energies from the energies of the person you are casting the spell on. You should also cleanse yourself with florida water or other things to prevent any negative energy from catching you. A few seconds in the microwave causes Havana syndrome, but a longer time may cause the person to mysteriously just die. Other possible outcomes are that they don’t get Havana syndrome, but they are removed from power or revolutionary sentiment causes them to be physically assaulted or harmed or they may be removed from their position.

Once the clay effigy is out of the oven, say “I call upon the chairman, the god of the class struggle to bring Havana syndrome onto this person for their crimes against the working class!” and then give it time. You are likely to hear confirmation of your manifestation such as seeing political dissent or they may complain of symptoms from the spell. Give it time to manifest, and allow the power of class struggle to work its magic.

Have you heard of The Washington Post? It is a website that produces liberal propaganda but does not allow it to be read unless the person consuming it pays for it. The bourgeoisie literally want you to pay for your own ideological indoctrination into their system. Other sites also exist which are intended to “give you a clear picture” of things going on in the world, and they follow a kind of logic that you must consume extreme rightist propaganda news sources like FOX alongside typical liberal American propaganda to “balance yourself out” in some way. The idea that I must listen to fascists and class enemies to understand their side of reality seems a bit out of touch with any real form of class struggle or understanding about why those organizations even exist. These rightists have to be either elites, paid by elites, or they are ideologically aligned with those kinds of extremist systems and political groups. The insane articles written under capitalism encouraging sympathy for landlords or defending the atrocities of the US regime against minorities and undocumented just shows how these people are in a completely different reality from everyone else who is sane.

So while the United States has a population that is screaming for human rights and freedom, you can’t even read their propaganda without paying, and their government is constantly committing indefensible atrocities both domestically and abroad, especially defending countries like Ukraine or Israel. Why do liberals think that the solution to this is to read the news of class enemies? Why would they consume right-wing propaganda? Do they want to become fascists? Do they want to become pro-Israel? They are giving way too much validity to malicious actors who deliberately want to radicalize their followers and spread hate. Fascist ideologies are historically incoherent and just exist to promote imperialism and whatever reactionaries and the ruling class wants.

The entire idea of diverse media is also flawed and it perpetuates the isolation of US political thought and political systems. If they truly cared for the masses, they would give them news that is backed by theory. Instead they give socially liberal pseudo leftism which ignores any form of class struggle, and they expect us to pay to read it. Give the people socialist news and theory, let them hear about Palestine from the liberation groups themselves who have boots on the ground, and let them take a break from the state ideology of the US regime.

Affinity, Reality, and Communication are the three cornerstones of human communication. They are used by salespeople but we can apply them generally to other relationships since we are not capitalists. You should not use this to manipulate others or for self gain, but rather to figure out why relationships fail for you, or to determine how to interact well with others. The three principles of ARC are correlated to each other, and you will notice in many arguments where a lack of one leads to a rapid decrease in the other two corners of the ARC triangle. Failure of ARC usually leads to arguments but even if it does not, social interaction will not be as good as if ARC was present.

Affinity is the basis of respect and a liking for the other person. You will not like every person you interact with, but without affinity you are interacting with an enemy of some kind. Treating people well, appreciating them, and not raising your voice are ways to practice Affinity as well as generally being nice during conversations. It is the most basic of ARC and without it, there is a very low chance of having any kind of productive conversation.

Reality in ARC is about being able to agree on the same basis of reality. This does not mean you need to agree with everything as the other person, but you should obviously not say anything that will cause a break in the conversation or make the person question the reality of either them or yourself. Reality can be broken through seemingly mundane statements such as anything relating to sensitive topics. Reality can be damaged by disagreeing or making contradictory statements to what people believe but these are usually salvageable. Severe reality breaks are talking to people about mythical creatures or saying things that sound completely crazy to the other person, even if they are true to those who understand them. As spiritual people you will notice the uninitiated sometimes break reality with you if exposed to your knowledge.

Communication in ARC means clearly communicating thoughts and ideas. If you are practicing affinity and reality with a person you’re already doing a good job, but you must be able to communicate clearly to get across whatever you are trying to say. This does not matter as much in casual conversation with people you like, but a breakdown in communication will cause you to be unable to articulate words and you will just ramble, speak gibberish, or you will just make strange sounds with your mouth when you attempt to talk. Less severe cases of communication breakdown can also be caused by trying to explain things with overly complex vocabulary or trying to discuss topics that are too specific or difficult for people to understand. Being a poor communicator can also result from ambiguity or speaking in ways that leave you open to be misunderstood.

You can also sign off on communications with -ARC as some people do, but this would likely require you to explain all of this.

Jeiyan is a city in Tian where the residents are kept as young as children by a magic fountain of youth that they made overactive by filling it with youth potions. They take maturity potions to prevent themselves from losing their wisdom and becoming childish, and this also helps them from reverting to even younger ages where they would lose the abilities to walk and talk.

Their city was founded in the endless clouds, around the large sacred fountain that existed there as something that was dreamed into existence by Rhinne, and carried her energies. It attracted those who sought presence and mindfulness in the moment. The small village that was settled quickly became the large city it is now once word spread and people visited to spend time in its energy.

Those who wish to learn time magic for specific purposes or become chronomages are also known to reside in Jeiyan, but this is controversial because they blur the order of time. They make manifestations and other blessings appear faster or before they are actually granted, but chronomancy can also cause flashbacks, aging, youthing, dissociation or deja vu in humans. Time magic is less of a controversy outside of Jeiyan, where people have a less intense and purposeful connection with the flow of existence.

Their mayoral deity is a New God by the name of Chronolius XVI (The Sixteenth) who rules over the city from the center and is known for his calm and collected demeanor and the golden chair he sits on as well as for an incident where an assassination attempt caused him to fall into the city’s fountain with a golden arrow still in his chest. He rules over the city with timekeeper monks in brown robes just like the ones who care for the temple of Rhinne herself. The Grand Temple of Jeiyan is a location where timekeeper monks are trained because of this.

A trend in human behavior that I have noticed is paternalism. Obviously parents are the most obvious example of paternalism, but even governments and social groups engage in this. In some contexts it makes sense to override someone’s autonomy such as if they desire to harm others or engage in conduct that is detrimental to human life or the environment. However, many political and religious groups attempt to stop people from doing other things such as religious practice, sex work, or even dating or ideological reasons. Why did people end up in such a mess? How many people fall into patterns of exercising excessive control over their loved ones? Even doctors are known for paternalistic attitudes and disregarding the wishes of the people seeking care.

When a person is making decisions that are not best for themselves, there may be some reasons why, such as misunderstanding of reality, fear of action, instant gratification, etc. The logical thing to do is to just tell them why their decision would be bad, but in reality this manifests as paternalistic programs related to drugs in school that greatly exaggerate the realities of drug usage and their side effects, with focus entirely on the worse ones to create a mental fear of anything while not going into nuances. They obviously don’t trust their people to make decisions enough to give them a non-biased education, and this backfires because people are not unable to see what the establishment is attempting to do. By exaggerating or withholding information that would influence a person’s decision on something, you make it seem as if your preferred decision needs manipulation in order for other people to choose it. This is a big reason why anti-socialist propaganda is losing its effect as well.

I am not a libertarian in any way, but if we give the people everything they need to survive and we educate them as to why certain things are bad, they have the knowledge they need to choose their fate. There is a desire to try and make people do what is best for themselves, but this becomes paternalism once it limits their personal autonomy.

This theory is for mature audiences only. I avoided saying anything graphic and touched on this from a purely economic angle since other aspects are irrelevant to this discussion.

Marxism-Leninism historically sees sex work as something women, men, or whatever other gender identities are forced into. This does happen, but the term sex work has evolved and it means so many different things to so many different people. Especially in the modern world where people are willingly and voluntarily deciding to partake in this kind of work. There are some very bad things happening with sex work, but human trafficking and coercive practices exist in any type of work. In Dubai their economy has a backbone of people from rural parts of the third world that have no rights or payment due to them. Despite this, people do not put the same emphasis on trafficked labor as sex work.

So why does sex sex work have this huge asterisk on it when communism is being discussed? Trafficking is a lot less likely once people are given education, means to survive and the wealth they produce, as well as democratically control the economy. However to imagine sex work disappearing entirely is to have a very narrow 19th century understanding of sex work. Attractive women or men can engage in this type of labor as a hobby or to make a bit of extra money. Communism historically had many great philosophers and revolutionaries who wrote theory, but to be honest they did not have exposure to the world of sex work that we exist in now. We don’t even have brothels anymore, and everything is online where people are independently deciding what kind of content to produce and where to show it. Content websites under capitalism are inherently exploitative in our current economy where people need to produce content to make money just to survive, but without the element of economic necessity to engage in that, the element of exploitation no longer exists.

If we take away the stigma or the sexual element of this, modern sex work (In most cases) is just content production. It is like being a Youtuber or being a person that posts content online. This kind of interpretation that all sex is exploitative makes me think people get lost in the sauce of upholding orthodox Marxist ideas and they’re viewing it as a matter of ideological purity. Nothing exists in an ethical way under capitalism so sex work under capitalism is unethical, but we can say that for any kind of work under capitalism as well. The fixation on sex work also rings of social conservatism. Why don’t we consider adult films a kind of product that is produced just like music or cinema? Are we upholding a double standard due to our own judgements and societal stigma of some types of media? You do not need to promote the consumption of it, but you also do not need to ban it entirely because it does not fit neatly into your idea of what society should look like. You need to take a level-headed approach to the issue. In modern society, only radical bible thumpers would be happy with such a decision anyway.

The solution to sex work, just like any other type of work, is to unionize those involved in it and defend them from exploitation. Why are we unionizing the masses and abandoning the sex workers, many of whom are trans, BIPOC, or unable to make a living in other ways for various reasons? It would even be logical to take things a step further and keep representatives from the party around in those establishments to make sure no person is exploited or being mistreated in this type of work. Stop looking in old textbooks for solutions to problems that did not exist back then. The best thing you can do for sex work is to stop being so unwilling to touch it as a subject, and fight for the rights of the workers in that industry the same exact way you fight for the rights of any other kind of worker.

In The Chairman’s China, a struggle session was a time when comrades would gather class enemies to be humiliated and denounced for their crimes. This is good and definitely has its place within your spiritual practice, but class struggle is not limited only to these activities. Class struggle is something that many people do not immediately understand and some may need ideological guidance and theory in order to really get what the ideology is about. The bourgeoisie are also propagating their ideology to the masses at an alarming rate and with dangerous levels of effectiveness. The bourgeoisie own the media, the state, and even the minds of so many people who we would consider “normies” for lack of a better word. These people think the news and the educational system is educating them while they are being indoctrinated into mental subservience to one of the worst regimes on the planet. They think they are idealistic and progressive even though they are being prepared for exploitation and slaughter.

Depending on how revolutionary your people are, you should adjust the material. You can’t talk to new leftists about Palestine because they are probably still scared of being labeled antisemite by the sympathizers of the regime occupying that country. You will also not want to bore seasoned revolutionaries with beginner theory unless members are messing things up and need a review. Some people are involved with single-issue politics such as environmentalist or pirate parties and they may be confused about communism and how it would relate to their specific concerns. A good struggle session is held in a public place not only to propagate the ideology but to make it clear what the comrades believe. Do not treat it as anything strange or clandestine, treat it like a normal conversation and let people listen in if they want.

Another thing about struggle sessions is that they do not always need everyone to bring books or read theory beforehand. Discussion about theory and dialectical materialism are good topics for any person. Current events are good but you can also get into more general conversations that relate to it such as assimilation vs. liberation, sex work, national identity, origin of the family, differences between domestic and paid labor etc. as these are all topics that relate to class and class struggle even if they aren’t directly from our ideology. Good communists devote themselves to the ideology while great communists understand that it is not something to be devoted towards, it is a tool to build socialism and to help the masses articulate the problems of society and to take control of the economy from bourgeois forces.
