As someone who has utilized mindfulness as the cornerstone of my own healing process I have to say that what is wrong with most pop treatments of meditation in general is that they fail to warn the reality. It's taken years of profound mindfulness practice that has demanded going deep into the darkest parts of the human psyche...in this process I've learned how to listen to my body and follow my own guidance. I've learned to shut out all the multiple conditioned voices of our ugly capitalistic system and come back to myself. ... What they don't tell you is that mindfulness in process...deep profound, honest mindfulness can alienate and isolate while on the way to well-being.
passion and fear ~~ You're totally into it. We get it. Awesome. Now stop thinking that just because it's wonderful for you that means everyone needs it and now. That's bs. We all need different things at different times. The days that this thing is hot stuff for you may well come to an end as well
I feel the spirochete — lyme “disease” causing bacteria like a spiral snake…kundalini, no less, clearing out my body like KALI…goddess of destruction and creation be the snake. eat yourself. includes: Ouroboros image collection (a symbol that appears in many cultures) be the snake: eat yourself - was first published a couple of years ago on All Signal.

The body electric… genetic geniuses every one of us …we need only pay attention…“There is a wealth of information built into us … tucked away in the genetic material in every one of our cells … without some means of access, there is no way even to begin to guess at the extent and quality of what is there.” – Alexander Shulgin “If the door of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to a man as it is, infinite.” – William Blake
We're all selfish human beings in training to become the lovers we are as well. The surviving animal must be "selfish." As we come out of pure survival, the species depends on us becoming lover. Love madly, passionately, indiscriminately. Start with your own selfish self.
Let your body guide you out of the darkness. The body is our only way into the light which holds the darkness so that we can be part of healing the whole world...trust the light so that we can trust the darkness...the willingness to embrace the whole shebang is the domain of the animal... In... Continue Reading →

There's grief in awakening. Grief at the loss of autonomy, grief at the loss of purpose and meaning. Grief at the loss of knowing and certainty, however deluded they were. There's grief over losing one's power, and one's familiar identity. There's so much loss in awakening. When it dawns that there's nothing we can keep, nothing can be retained beyond its prescribed time, and all that we know and love must pass, then a natural grief for all of it can come. And since this knowledge of loss is for all of it, for all time, then that ache of grief is an ever-present refrain, a broken heart, amidst the delight at the miracle and mystery of life. ...
Let's not demonize the skeptic! While anything can be taken too far, skepticism is a must for healthy individuals in our dog-eat-dog world.
