I am a mad woman — it’s a phenomenal and lovely journey. Madness is the real sanity on a planet full of people who don’t remember who and what we are.

life, life-ing…good even when it sucks

peeling away layers of fear. that’s what healing is largely about. we are all conditioned to be terrified and distrustful … In the process of peeling away the layers of fear the conditioning that we acquire throughout life is deconstructed – feel freedom emerging.
my fear is slowly but surely dissolving. dissolving. disappearing. it’s pretty phenomenal. yes, we can be free of fear even in the midst of hell.
when we are free of fear we can respond to the hell and darkness in the world with love and thus be a source of alchemical transformation.

Do you embrace the suffering of humanity? Or do you just do your best to avoid it? Get in tune with your cosmic vagina…it is within all of us, male and female, it holds all the pain in the world and then transmutes it. Alchemy. The Divine Feminine awaits you.

I feel better than ever at 50 and have a sense of being both young and elder simultaneously…it’s pretty awesome. The west kills our spirit while we’re still young and unless we go about the work of deconditioning we don’t know what it is to be alive. I know what it is to be alive…it took almost 50 years.

Everyone’s a guru…so you need not take yourself too seriously….nor that person over there who calls themself guru…

Below thoughts in response to this article: Can Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Treat Depression?
these sorts of articles bum me out…they get a little piece right but then screw it all up.
using drugs to solve this issue is profoundly misguided…diet works much better without adding additional toxicities…eating well and learning other lifestyle habits also HEALS…while drugs simply mask deeper issues that CAUSE inflammation…and this doesn’t mean that psycho/social factors aren’t important as well. … ah pharma and western medicine…you’re always looking for ways to hook people without understanding the full significance of what you’re talking about.
