My dearest Plague Rats, my fellow Inmates,
What you see here is one of many blank cards from the #asylumoracle on which I wrote this message and scattered around the city for people to find before the quarantine prevented me from doing so. I have held onto this card, waiting for the day when I can leave it for someone at last. Today is that day, and that someone is you.
If there is only one thing I could say to you for the rest of my life, it is the words on this card, words that represent the greatest thing I have ever learned:
You are a Divine Spirit, whole, unwounded, unbroken, and inherently perfect. Why is this so important to realize, not through "belief" but through direct experience-through going inward and feeling it to be true? Because your spirit recognizes itself (your only true self) in every other. Any person acting as spirit could never be prejudiced against another, because that would be prejudice against themself. They could never be cruel, violent, knowingly unkind or hurtful, think less of or think themselves superior to any other being, because, again, your spirit sees itself in everything and everyone.
What I do to you, I do to me. What you do to me, you do to yourself. Ego and the human mind's identification with it does not recognize this. It blocks us from the realization of our spirit selves, makes people capable of wrong action and perverse thought, and so we find ourselves here, in this painful but incredibly necessary reckoning of centuries of racial injustice and unimaginable brutality.
In my *BIO* is a link to a comprehensive RESOURCE LIST full of ways that you can help right at this moment. But why am I sharing this message instead of simply reposting those that you have likely already been exposed to and learned from?
1. Because I respectfully recognize that, according to Asylum statistics and my own observations, many of you are not in America, and thus cannot vote/petition for the changes that many of these posts are asking you to make.
2. Because many of you are under the age where you can vote at all.
3. Because many of you are young enough to not have excess funds to donate.
4. Because there is something else that *can* apply to all of you regardless of the above, and that is Love. In the Asylum, we act in Love. We act from Spirit. And we have always, ALWAYS acted in Justice. Never believe that this does not matter. And we must not stop.
As all of you know, and as I have spoken at the end of 1000 concerts, an asylum is, by definition, a sanctuary. It never has been such. But it will be now. And it belongs to you.
Keep each other safe. Bring each other joy. Speak for each other when you are called upon. Fight for each other when you see need. Heal each other. See each other in yourselves, and you can bring no harm upon any soul.
And finally, if there is nothing else you can do, I invite you to copy/save/forward and share this picture above with a fellow spirit, who may then pass it on to someone else who needs the reminder, and so on. OR, write a message of how YOU would like to make the change you want to see in the world on your own blank card if you have the Oracle (or on anything you wish if you don't), and post it for your community to see. (Tag me so can find you!).
We are each other. We are love. That is all there ever needs to be.
And of course, OF COURSE, it is insanity that this was ever ever EVER in question, Black Lives Matter.

No. I no longer engage in any practices or behaviours that are harmful to my physical body for one reason only: I no longer need to. Like many young women, I used to cut myself as an alternative to doing something worse, as an emotional release, to exersize autonomy, and to prove to myself that I was alive. I no longer do this, have not done it for years, and have successfully replaced the blade with the pen. Writing gives me the power, expression, and life-affirmation that I was sadly lacking in my past. If you cut yourself, know that you can stop just as I did. If you know someone who cuts her or himself, please encourage them not to be ashamed, and assist them in identifying why they feel the need to mark themselves and how they can channel those very valid needs into another outlet. As the book discloses on the very first page, I did indeed attempt to take my own life, more than once. I am not in danger now, and I hope that my story will be used not as an example of a person who tried to commit suicide, but rather as an example of a suicidal person who survived. I regret neither my journeys nor my battles as they have enabled me to both understand and assist others who are still fighting.

Rough Transcription “...But I think that all of you at least allow me to think that I’m on the right track. That’s the most fantastic thing, so thank you so much for that.”

[Applause] 

“I think playing the Painted Doll was a perfect segue from stage acting... to acting in front of a camera because I was very concerned... that I would talk too loud or over-do something. Then I was shown ‘oh, no, this is who you are.’ I thought: ‘Well, ok, so basically just be myself - be pretty much who you are. Talk less.’ That was the only hard part, to keep quiet. It was a graceful entrance into film acting because it was so over the top. That trickiness - learning to be more subtle and learning how to say something with your face without doing anything is something I didn’t have to learn until the film that we just made. Which is when I don’t get to rely on being just that [jerks head] all the time, because that [twitch] is very natural to me. Being an adorable girl is not. So learning how to find that nature in that was a lot more tricky.

“I’m so excited for you to see me actually really act. Because that was my every day. I’m looking forward for you to see me in moments of incredible insecurity hoping that actually works for the character.”

I got so impassioned on the first run through [of "Prick! Goes the Scorpion's Tale"] that on the last note... There's all these props and things around and there's this column, this marble column situation. And I just got really into it... On the last note, instead of grabbing Scorpion and pulling him up and shoving him and things, I went and kicked over the column. It shattered everywhere. And then I realized they weren't even filming.

Oh geez, here's another blurb...where have I been that I haven't seen all this mess? Oh yes, recovering from the biggest breakdown of my young life...awful review, but they were classy enough to be nice to me...they must have been aware that I wrote my parts quite literally overnight and then recorded them on zero sleep, nearly passing out on the studio couch...I'll kill them last!!! Another review I missed... Joy... So why do I love when I still feel pain? When does it end, when is my work done? Why do I fight and why do I feel that I carry a sword, that I carry a sword through a battlefield?

Can I just say that designing for men is very different than designing for women, and it is hard and I am not used to it? BUT! I will reign supreme over my fears as always, and I WILL BE successful in this endeavor to design a complete punktorian man's collection within one month!!! Or die trying...

"Mistress" has been selling off the charts since it's release two days ago! I can hardly believe that it could happen so quickly, really, I expected a long time of convincing people to accept a new fragrance on the market before getting a single order... We'll be getting this into stores soon which will be nice because we won't be swamped shipping out orders! In any case, YAY!!! This means a *lot* to WTH.

There are only a few rules in the Asylum, and they are as follows: 1. Be kind to all who strive for good. 2. Be loving to all who strive for good. 3. Be accepting of all who strive for good, no matter their differences. 4. Be HELPFUL to all who strive for good (a kind word, a compliment, a bit of understanding, sincere compassion, and encouragement of strength can sometimes save a life). 5. Celebrate your individuality in every possible way, staying safe, and harming no one. 6. Get over your society-induced fear of rats, and help to fight for them and all animals, doing what you can to end abuse and cruel ( and very often completely unnecessary and un-useful) experimentation. 7. Always remember that just because you’re crazy doesn’t mean you’re crazy. 8. Realize that you are not, nor will you ever be, alone.

Emilie Autumn (x)

Pretty much this. And if someone has a problem with these rules just becuase it was EA who wrote them down, then I am very sorry for you.
