we are being called to radical alchemy

we are being called to radical alchemy. the marriage of opposites…

a litany of Trust:

trust everything. trust yourself trust the environment trust me trust your lover and trust your enemy trust the trustworthy and trust the untrustworthy. it’s becoming grossly evident…that reality and the powers that be are trustworthy and steadfast.

I have been healing a long time chronic illness by returning to the ancestral diet I grew up with as a first generation Italian in America. My fall from well-being is associate with when I left my home and was removed from standard parts of my diet…

I did not understand the critical value of, most notably, cheeses and breads (sour dough!!) — both are loaded with enzymes, probiotics and are good for the gut. And both, in America now, are being demonized in health and healing circles. I needed them to get well…to get back to my Italian microbiome.

I’m actually lactose intolerant but do well with full fat cheeses and lactose free milk. Not just well, it’s been critical to rebuilding destroyed fascia and other connective tissue destruction from the systemic infections. These infections are in part injuries from the drugs.

Only our bodies know the way back. I’ve learned to not take most “health gurus” very seriously at this point. They are handing out a lot of dogmatic BS for capitalistic purposes. Healing is not about telling others what to do and they excel at that. If they would be clear about the limits of what they say it would be alright but most of them are completely serious when they think that EVERYONE should do whatever the heck it is that worked for them.

In radical alchemy I dance with a multitude of healing foods. Knowing when to abstain and when to partake. Timing is critical for this delicate body.

Perhaps the “astral” realm is in fact access to the micro-organisms living in our very bodies….we are multitudes…and it’s all right here, right now. Physical and part of our bodies…we share a lot of the microbiome with others and it’s combination is always unique to us…our culture and sub-cultures change it as well.

we are like a planet…like the earth…chaos or seeming order may abide and it’s always multitudinous. Heaven and hell…right here, right now. This does not diminish the significance of the term “astral plane.” It expands upon the phenomena and experience. Communication with the microbiome is a grounded reality from which we stand to benefit. Many who have access are written off as unhinged and drugged with neurotoxic pharmaceuticals which make the problem worse, more intractable. The experience is real. No delusion, just confusion.

Internal eco-system management (my term) is what is needed and mostly doesn’t exist in our medical establishment. Our understanding of the gut and microbiome are in a state of infancy and ignorance. Many teach highly questionable methods.

While we are, indeed, brutally hurtful and ugly creatures when we remain conditioned, the opposite is also true.

We are capable of pure love.

healing is that movement into pure love. Truth comes to awareness only when we meet our deepest fears in love.

Coming into balance with that darkness that is in every one of us takes some time and we also become DANGEROUS to the status quo, so while we are learning to integrate and contain this knowledge, as sensitives, we become additionally vulnerable and at risk for harm.


We can move beyond this place of risk…clearly we also, simply, do not all manage to do that…people die, cut off from humanity, at this juncture. I do this work because it’s become clear to me that we are a people with serious eugenic impulses. We have all sorts of ways of killing off people we find problematic and we do it while pretending it’s just not happening. The people we happily throw away are on the streets, in prison and on mind-numbing psychiatric drugs. It may not be instant death (hence we pretend it’s not happening) … it’s death by grave and absolute neglect and ostracization, which we again, can always come up with ways to justify.

the beloved can come in any guise…even one of evil…good and evil doth collapse and it’s one trippy game of integration… out in the field with Rumi, beyond right-doing and wrongdoing. I’ll meet you there.

Honest and clear desire pursued is not just about self gratification but more importantly the fulfillment of physiological need. We are a well oiled machine when in alignment. That physiological need embraced and allowed will attune us to the nature of reality.
