Rest is Sacred

To allow ourselves the space to play, to recover, to rest and do “nothing is the most life affirming thing we can do.

All living creatures take breaks, take rests and ebb and flow with energy.

This is the natural state of existence beyond the capitalist authoritarian system that demands constant production for the sake of profit.

To inhabit a state of awareness that you are tired and need rest is radical activism in a world that seeks to deny you this rest. To honor your rhythm of rest is activism in a world that benefits from the exploitation of life.

To allow yourself the space to rest at the expense of profit is activism in a system that demands every moment of your life be monetized.

To play in a system that denies you this creative enjoyment of being alive is radical activism. To simply “vibe is a space of radical consciousness connected to life, our humanity that transcends all cultural conditioning and systemic demands on life.

To return to the state of rest is made impossible without exploitation. Only those with resources are allowed to engage in this kind of natural rest driven rhythm where those who might have the same amounts of “free time” are punished by the system for being able to pursue a rest based existence whether by choice or circumstance.

They are denied this and terrorized by the state for even giving the illusion of opting out of anti life profit production

Being exhausted, then, is to be expected. Allow yourself this exhaustion and do not judge yourself harshly for being in a place that cannot accommodate your own desires through your exhaustion.

It is by design that your only rest time becomes mandatory to perpetuate profit with little else left to create and sustain life. If it were possible to deny you more rest the system would and has done so. You are resisting the authoritarian profit machine by resting.
