Unlike patriarchy - where men have the power (i.e. lead) and women don't (i.e. follow) - the ancient world, and the cultures of the Bible functioned as a patricentric heterarchy. **See my previous posts, highlights, & reels on Patricentrism** Patricentrism is a family organizational system that centers on the oldest male (patriarch). He is not ruling the family as a king. Rather, he is responsible for the care and well being of every member (his brothers & their families, his sons & their families, his wife, his parents, unmarried daughters, servants, etc.). Because of this they live near him (patrilocal). The property is passed from father to son, with the oldest son getting the largest share so that his household has the resources to care for his parents and unmarried sisters (patrilineal). Patricentrism looks at the family organization structure from the outside. Heterarchy describes how tasks, responsibilities, and power worked on the inside. Carol Meyer's defines heterarchy as, ""A form of rule in which any unit can govern/be governed by others, depending on the circumstances, and hence no one dominates." (Meyers) Economic relationships in the ancient family unit were too complex for a simple top-down, male-only rule (i.e. patriarchy). Especially in the Old Testament women held many and varied forms of power and responsibility. Any hierarchical relationships in the household were governed more by age than gender. The oldest member of that gender would lead the rest and give direction to those under them. The person in charge of one set of tasks could enlist individuals from the other group and command them as needed. Those doing a task had the power/authority over that task and the fruits from it. Women were responsible for (and therefore held power over) food production, medicine, mutual aid relationships, and much of the religious life of the home. The household worked together as a unit to provide for the needs of the whole. Each person was needed and valuable. Each part had a role to play to ensure the survival of all.

I never realized how much my body needed a parasite cleanse—until I did one. For years, I thought I was fine. I functioned on 4-5 hours of sleep, had constant cravings, and thought my energy levels were normal. But after doing RogersHood’s ParaFy Kit, everything changed. Within the first week, I started sleeping 7-9 hours a night—without trying. My mental clarity skyrocketed. My energy? Through the roof. And for the first time, I could see parasites leaving my body. Here’s what most people don’t know: If you’re doing a parasite cleanse, you SHOULD detox heavy metals too. Parasites feed off toxins. If you only remove the parasites but don’t flush the metals, they just come back. That’s why this cleanse is different—it does both at the same time. I’ve tried many detoxes over the years, but this is by far the best I’ve ever used. It’s so powerful that a 30-day kit lasted me 5 ½ weeks, and I STILL had product left. It’s safe for the whole family—even kids as young as 3. This cleanse doesn’t just help your gut—it changes everything: ✔️ Deeper, more restful sleep ✔️ Clearer skin ✔️ Helps with bad breath ✔️ Better digestion ✔️ Fewer cravings ✔️ Mental clarity & focus Most people have no idea how much parasites and heavy metals are affecting them. You think your sleep, food cravings, bloating, or brain fog is “normal”—until it’s gone. If you’re ready to finally detox, go to my bio and use coupon code: TEDDYLAWSO20 to get yours today. This is one of the best things you can do for your body. Don’t wait—start cleansing, and FEEL the difference. If you any questions don’t hesitate to reach out send me a DM and I’ll be sure to get to you asap.

GOOD VS EVIL in Atlantis 👁️ In the time of Atlantis, the entire planet functioned as one interconnected civilisation. 🌍 Everyone worked together, and everything was in harmony. However, some individuals chose to take a darker path, creating tools and technologies that threatened to destabilise the world.. Much like the concerns we face today with projects like CERN. These destructive actions ultimately led to the downfall of Atlantis, wiping out what was once a unified and thriving civilisation.

genius 🪳🦟 The Orphea bug-spray billboard became famous because it wasn’t just an ad—it literally functioned as a giant insect trap: Publicis Italy coated the “spray” area of the poster with a transparent glue, so as days passed, flies and mosquitoes stuck to it and gradually filled in the shape of the aerosol mist, turning the billboard into a live demonstration of how the product works; the result shocked passersby, went viral worldwide, and became one of the most memorable examples of functional advertising.

You think you can hurt me? My body rearranged its organs to grow a human. I endured the pain of breaking 47 bones at once and still had to be up every two hours. My brain survived the biggest hormone crash in human history and rewired itself to keep someone else alive. I lost 90% of my deep sleep and still functioned. I didn't 'bounce back'! I rebuilt myself while caring for a tiny human 24/7. Try me. Quote by @momhustlempire #momreel #relatablemom #motherdaughter #momquotes #motherhood

Your skull and jawline are a direct reflection of how you move, breathe, and interact with your environment. We modern humans have seen better days—battling poor posture, sedentary habits, and dysfunctional movement patterns that directly impact bone health, especially in the mandible and cranium. Our ancestors didn’t have this problem. They lived in closer alignment with nature, engaged their bodies the way they were designed to, and functioned as more biomechanically efficient humans. The result? Stronger jaws, less joint pain, and superior facial structure. The good news? You can still fix this. We’ve helped countless individuals improve their facial structure by addressing the entire body @fp.evidence. Our training restructures your posture, movement, and breathing mechanics to restore proper cranial and mandibular development. Train intentionally, not habitually, and watch your structure realign with what nature intended. Shoutout to HBS practitioners @jeffrey_harris and @danny.hung for their phenomenal results shown here. #functionalpatterns #functionaltraining #jawline #mandible #posture #mewing #biomechanics

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are. Hard to believe that, as a young woman, I struggled so deeply to love this body. In my eyes, there was always something wrong with her—too tall, too thin, too small, too flat. I judged how she looked, how she functioned. The painful periods I endured were later diagnosed as endometriosis. The heartbreak of infertility followed. But it wasn’t just the body I struggled with—it was the weight of everything I’d inherited. The modesty I was taught to perform. The quiet promise of failure whispered into my girlhood. The suffocating regimes I desperately tried to break away from, using every ounce of youthful rebellion. I had seen what those expectations had done to my mother—how they drained her, dimmed her light. If they didn’t bring her joy or freedom, how could they ever work for me? And then there were my grandmothers—their wisdom, their silence, their way of surviving. Only now do I understand how deeply their lives shaped mine. The legacy of our ancestors runs through us, in both visible and invisible ways. The strength and the sorrow. The patterns passed down, and the ones we must choose to unlearn. Even when I thought I’d broken free, their voices echoed in my thoughts. Rules disguised as beliefs. Beliefs disguised as truths. Shaping my every choice, lingering in my self-talk. But today, I see them for what they are. Not facts. Not mine. Just inherited noise. I’ve learned to greet those thoughts, give them a name, and kindly—or not so kindly—ask them to leave. Sometimes I manage to erase them completely. Sometimes I simply tell them to be quiet. And no, I don’t always succeed. But one day, I will. Because now, I no longer care what those voices say about me. I’m done shrinking. This is my body. My story. My life. #selflove #personalgrowth #healing #womanhood #mybody #endometriosis #infertility #ancestralhealing #midlifewisdom #thisis50

On 31 January 2001, Japan Airlines Flight 907, a Boeing 747-446D en route from Haneda Airport, Japan, to Naha Airport, Okinawa, narrowly avoided a mid-air collision with Japan Airlines Flight 958, a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-40 en route from Gimhae International Airport, South Korea, to Narita International Airport, Japan. The incident was attributed to errors made by air traffic controller (ATC) trainee and trainee supervisor. The mid-air incident occurred as flight attendants began to serve drinks onboard Flight 907. JA8904’s traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) sounded 20 minutes after its departure as the jet climbed towards 39,000 feet (11,887 m). The DC-10, JA8546, cruised at 37,000 feet (11,278 m). The TCAS on both aircraft functioned correctly; a “CLIMB” instruction was annunciated for Flight 907. However, the flight crew received contradicting instructions from the flight controller at the Tokyo Area Control Center in Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture. Flight 907 followed an order to descend issued by the flight controller while Flight 958 descended as instructed by the TCAS, meaning that the planes remained on a collision course. The trainee for the aerospace sector,handled ten other flights at the time of the near miss. The trainee intended to tell Flight 958 to descend. Instead, at 15:54, he told Flight 907 to descend. When the trainee noticed that JAL 958 cruised at a level altitude instead of descending, the trainee asked JAL 958 to turn right; the message did not get through to the JAL 958 pilot. The trainee’s supervisor ordered “JAL 957” to climb, intending to tell JAL 907 to climb. There was not a JAL flight 957 in the sky at the moment of the incident, but it can be inferred that by “957” she meant flight 907

Comment “GUIDE” for my comprehensive Japan manual! 🇯🇵👇🏼 When you visit Kyoto - don’t book a hotel! Consider staying in a Machiya like @kyoto_machiyas 🏠 Machiya’s are Japan’s traditional wooden townhouses that functioned as both a residence and a shop. You can find them throughout Japan, but the larger and better-preserved ones are now found in a some areas like Kyoto, Kanazawa, Takayama, Kurashiki, and more. There is also ‘kyo machiya.’ A ‘kyo machiya’ specifically refers to the Kyoto-style machiya houses found in Kyoto City 🇯🇵Kyo-machiya usually have a tsuboniwa, an inner garden that adds a little extra charm to the space 🪴 A Machiya is a fantastic, authentic alternative to a hotel and it is affordable accommodation! We are loving our time here at @kyoto_machiyas and highly recommend it 😊 Our Machiya is called the KOKYU. This one is on the higher end of the scale but there are many more cheaper options available! Thank you @Melissa for the recommendation! 🫶🏽 #kyoto #japanculture #japantrip #🇯🇵
