I've heard that car security is bad, not surprised about privacy.
Do you know if there is a more recent review also? (This is 2023)

Ah. I had to look that up, an anonymizer service.
I first thought of the Linux command.

I've been following the fascinating project for a number of years. They have made great progress in developing their ground based (walk or drive on it) solar tiles.

I dont use the word devotional, so take this fwiw, I think of this as when I start or maintain a practice with a given sacred connection in mind or doing that practice reminds me of that thing.
But not necessarily that I intend for more than that connection or reminder.

A good post on the word meditation and also the western expressions of the similar idea.

Meditation in Western practice and modern magic Meditation isn’t new or ‘Eastern’. Explore the history of meditation, Western contemplative practices, and why modern occultists still recommend it.

In this blog, I look at meditation through a broad historical and spiritual lens: Greek philosophy, Hermetic thought, inner listening, and why these skills matter for modern occultists.

Well said!
There is power in speaking out loud, even if ours are the only nearby ears.

That is more than I've tried from Japanese.
Although I do find it fascinating to read the many published English translations of the same haiku+senryu.

So, you'd have to ask AI a lot of questions to coax much of that out, if it's possible.

(As you certainly know.)
From what I've read from people that translate haiku, Japanese is hard to translate well, esp. with the multiple meanings leading to puns, references to older poets, and the use of 3 different writing scripts that can imply different things.
