In recent years, social and political issues have surged to the forefront of our collective consciousness. From climate disasters to battles over digital freedom, it’s clear that we’re living in transformative times. Some might even say it’s the cosmic influence of Pluto in Aquarius stirring the pot! And now, if you’ve been on TikTok, you’ve probably heard the buzzing rumors: January 19th could mark the end of the app… or so they say.
As someone who has been part of TikTok’s vibrant community for years, I have a love/dislike relationship with the app. It has given me the platform to reach thousands of like-minded individuals, amplify important conversations, and connect with many of you reading this now (thank you for being here!).
But you might be wondering—what does TikTok have to do with spirituality or activism? Let’s dive into the intersection of these powerful forces and what it means for our collective journey.
Spirituality Meets Activism: Lessons from Marie Laveau
As a devotee of the legendary Madam Marie Laveau, I’ve learned the importance of being in the trenches, standing up for the underdog, and using my voice for meaningful change. Marie was a champion of the proletariat, always fighting for those who felt powerless. In her honor, I strive to carry that same torch of advocacy in both the spiritual and social spheres.
Spiritual activism is more than just meditating or manifesting change—it’s about action. It’s showing up for what’s right, speaking truth to power, and aligning with higher principles that benefit the collective, like my recent "Water 2 Cali Ritual". TikTok, surprisingly, has become a modern battlefield for these conversations.
The TikTok Ban and Digital Freedom
The looming TikTok ban isn’t just about national security, as it’s been framed. It strikes at the heart of freedom of speech, press, and expression—core principles many of us hold dear. And while the official narrative points to national security concerns, let’s be real: we all know there’s a layer of corporate drama here. Is this really about data or just another tech billionaire showdown between Mark Zuckerberg (a.k.a Zuck) and TikTok’s CEO?
Regardless of the reason, the potential ban forces us to reflect on how technology shapes our ability to connect, organize, and express ourselves. TikTok has become more than just an entertainment app; it’s a hub for grassroots movements, cultural exchange, and education. For many, it’s also a platform for spreading spiritual awareness and activism.
Spirituality, Social Justice, and Your Well-Being
At its core, spirituality is about understanding the interconnectedness of all things—humanity, nature, and the cosmos. That interconnectedness means we can’t separate spiritual wellness from the social and political challenges we face daily. Issues like systemic injustice, environmental crises, and even the fight for digital autonomy affect our collective well-being.
Through platforms like TikTok, we’ve seen a global exchange of knowledge. Americans (hilariously with love dubbed “TikTok Refugees”) are learning Mandarin from their international peers while helping them with English. This cultural exchange underscores an essential truth: we’re better when we learn from and accept each other.
Let’s take a cue from TikTok’s global community—liberate your mind, embrace the differences, and stand in your truth. Asé.
So, What Now?
Whether or not TikTok disappears, the lessons we’ve learned from its community remain. This is your call to action:
- Fight the power. Question narratives that suppress your voice.
- Liberate your mind. Challenge the systems and beliefs that no longer serve you.
- Get in the field. Advocate for justice and truth in whatever way resonates with your spiritual path.
Spiritual activism is a journey of courage, alignment, and integrity.
