I did just about every elimination diet out there (over a period of 15 years). These thoughts come mostly from a few years ago as I started to eat more of everything again…I am still learning to eat well for this moment now. Food, diet and mindfulness all go together in my world. This is... Continue Reading →
the surrendered path
New Post when I'm in guidance there is no thought whatsoever. I watch and learn. My body is a channel of the divine. This is the nature of the surrendered path I live. the above is true, while I am also in a hell realm most of the time. So it's hard to explain to people. I learn all about humanity, however from here. We really cannot know ourselves without a deep dive into shadow. I, for whatever reason, was called to the fringes of the human experience...all with the afflicted body being mirror for the human condition and that which is happening on the planet right now.
The hungry ghosts know. Listen.
Somatic mysticism, diet and returning to my ancestry…. The hungry ghosts know. Listen. I like using “somatic mysticism” to explain my experience because I feel everything deeply in my body. I can feel my cells doing their work quite often and I feel all manner of metabolic movement and I feel far more than I can even begin to really know from a biological standpoint. Still when I listen and pay attention I collect data, information to act on.
Golden nuggets from the beyond…
How deep into hell one has gone correlates exactly with how much someone can inhabit love. *** We are an organism like mushroom mycelium. *** Intuition is limited by how much we've healed. In pure love we see ourselves in every last human being. most of us want to "other" some percentage of the human family. That happens to be our clannish ancestral nature. When we open our hearts out beyond our clan we are whole.
Getting healthy: moving towards balance
Healing (for me) didn't mean killing off all micro-organisms indiscriminately. It meant bringing balance by moving out excess of the ones making me sick and building up with other more expansive ones. These little guys have consciousness. They'e part of us and work together with us. Imbalances is what make us sick. Healthy people have the same bugs in different proportions. Getting healthy means learning to bring it all to balance. I call it internal eco-system management. This goes along with many other aspects of the body for me since my entire autonomic nervous system got blown out. It was an exceedingly complex process after being bedridden and atrophied for some years.
Come play: Life force wants our camaraderie
Our world has been in crisis for a long time. Some people are only now just waking up to it. If we've not been sleeping then we just keep on doing the same thing. Life is change. *** The hardest evolutionary work on the planet is being done by the disenfranchised, the oppressed, those in poverty, the unhoused, those labeled mentally ill, those considered addicts etc. The sensitive are the last. The last shall come first.

Pandemic blues. Can’t wait to get back to “normal.” Really?
Back to normal? This is the world I know....thank god others are waking up to the destruction humanity has wrought. The air is clean, the animals are returning to places they've not been for decades.
I've been in isolation for over a decade with no appropriate medical care. This is my third pandemic as well. The AIDS pandemic...I worked at the beginning when young men were dying like flies. And the pandemic of murder by psychiatric meds. Going on everyday and denied by most. This is my life in isolation. I haven't been pretending the world isn't falling apart.
Maybe others will join us now...those of us who are paying attention. Let it be.
Mini meditations for your pleasure in contemplation…
I often think in brief statements and feel less and less inclined to go on and on about much in full-length articles. I still enjoy the full-length articles when they emerge, they just are not emerging as often. And so I offer the below. Nuggets of fun stuff to think about. ...
Mindfulness / Meditation, Complex Trauma: Rewards and Risks
What media hype and those selling mindfulness don’t tell you is that mindfulness is a process that can radically transform you, and it’s not always safe, nor is it easy or straightforward. We make it safer by being aware of the risks and learning to listen to our own bodies about when it is or isn’t okay for us. No one else actually knows.
Ecstatic dance today!
dancing madly this morning...the above is my garb -- essentially barefoot in my pajamas with headphones attached to my head with a headband ... I'm listening to the brilliant dj-ing of Robert Kochka Jr danced this first at an Asheville Movement Collective Wave more than a year ago-- find his waves on soundcloud... was gonna share the one I...
