‘The Nostrich’ symbolises freedom, decentralisation and the power of open communication. The ostrich, known for not being able to fly, takes on a new, magical quality here thanks to its special colouring - similar to how Nostr opens up new possibilities for the Internet. This card stands for the courage to break new ground and break away from centralised structures. It represents the ability to forge connections across traditional boundaries and build a community based on freedom and self-determination. In a positive sense, it suggests a spirit of innovation, independence and the ability to share and receive information freely. In a negative sense, it could warn against excessive idealism or the danger of isolating oneself too much from established systems. ‘The Nostrich’ encourages the questioner to explore the possibilities of free, decentralised communication and to play an active role in shaping a more open digital future.

The plot thickens.

Visualise X as a turbulent sea of confrontation, where waves of opinions crash against each other and the storm of conflict rages. But behold, in your mind's eye, Nostr blossoms as a garden of harmony and growth. Here the seeds of your thoughts flourish in fertile soil, nourished by the sun of creativity and the gentle rain of co-operation. In this garden, you not only cultivate your own ideas, but also nurture the tender shoots of community. Each interaction is like a carefully placed flower that contributes to the beauty of the whole. And lo and behold, a magical stream flows in this garden - the zaps, glittering drops of appreciation and value. These zaps are like the nectar of flowers, attracting the busy bees of creativity. They reward those who produce truly nourishing fruits of the spirit. With every Zap you give or receive, you strengthen the roots of this lush garden and allow new ideas to blossom. While X threatens to pull you into its vortex of negativity, Nostr invites you to dwell in its peaceful atmosphere, to grow and be rewarded for your contributions. Here, every thought is valuable, every interaction meaningful, every zap a spark of encouragement. Recognise the power of your choice: do you want to exhaust yourself on the battlefield or blossom and thrive in the garden? Your spirit has the power to create this reality. Choose wisely and cultivate the garden of your digital life wisely, where your efforts will not only bear fruit, but also be appreciated and rewarded.

Have you ever thought about what a circle sounds like?

The wisdom of the ancient Egyptians: a forgotten perspective on money and prosperity. In our modern world, which is often characterised by materialism and short-term thinking, it's worth taking a look at the past. The ancient Egyptians, known for their architectural marvels and complex mythology, also had a remarkable perspective on money and wealth. Manly P. Hall, a renowned philosopher and author, sheds light on this fascinating perspective in his works. The roots of banking According to Hall, the Egyptians not only invented the pyramids, but also the banking system. Money changers played a central role in society and were held in high esteem. Their activity was not just a business, but was guided by religious teachings. This led to a close interweaving of finance and ethics. Ethics and spirituality in finance In contrast to our often purely materialistic understanding of money, the Egyptians saw a strong spiritual dimension. Honesty, generosity and fairness were not empty phrases, but cornerstones of financial behaviour. Particularly noteworthy was the emphasis on fairness towards the disadvantaged - a principle that is often neglected in today's financial world. The afterlife and financial responsibility One of the most fascinating aspects of the Egyptian view was the idea that money changers were judged after their death in the "Hall of the Great Judgement". Here it was not their bank balance that was scrutinised, but their honesty, charity and service to the community. This idea emphasises the deep connection between financial activity and moral integrity. Inner wealth and outer success The Egyptians believed that success, failure, wealth and poverty were ultimately mysteries of the inner life. They saw a direct connection between inner growth and outer prosperity. Money was not simply a means of consumption, but a symbol of productivity and merit, closely linked to art and religion. Lessons for the present What can we learn from this ancient wisdom? At a time when financial scandals and short-term profit motives are the order of the day, the Egyptian perspective offers a refreshing alternative. It reminds us that true prosperity is about more than the amount in our bank account. It is about integrity, responsibility and service to the community. Perhaps it is time for us to rethink our definition of success and prosperity. By re-integrating ethics and spirituality into our understanding of finance, we could not only improve our personal finances, but also contribute to a more just and fulfilling society.

Rudolf Steiner on the "Materialist World Order" and Censorship "Very shortly, after when one will have written the year 2000, there will come from America not a direct prohibition, but a kind of prohibition against all thinking, a sort of law which will have the aim of suppressing all individual thinking. On the other hand there is the beginning achieved in this direction of suppressing all individual thinking into pure materialistic thinking where one does not need to work upon the soul on the basis of external experiments, in which the human being is handled as if he were a machine." "For if the world continues in its development as it is strives for in the sense of these materialistic impulses, then we will gradually enter into a development through which not only someone who unlicensed is forbidden from doing anything for human health, but also one in which relating to science, there is a prohibition against anyone saying anything other than that which is approved by those who have taken a kind of vow under the materialist world order. Today many things are forbidden, of which people do not feel any coercion from prohibition. But we are approaching times when, like any unlicensed concern for healing of human beings, every word will be banned, except in an institution guaranteed and approved by the materialistically developed powers."
