Perception of Disconnection

Power of the Trickster

Our Bodies
How are you today? Still Breathing. Breathing is good.  I rather like it. Breathing and moving. So, we are all alive today? And kicking. Oh, do indeed kick if it’s necessary. I enjoy marital arts. In gratitude today, thank God. Excellent, remember to thank God is to be likewi

Wiser Than The Planet?
Who here is wiser than the whole planet? People who train their body not to do something like cry really get twisted. If I try hard not to cry, I usually do it anyway. Maybe that is why some folks can’t take all that excitement. They would be uncomfortably afraid. Unfortunately we train our body to repress a lot to make it through many social encounters. Yes, this is true. Too much feeling, and this would make them have to feel their own minds, which become twisted things through “common sense” and “reason”. But yes, who here is wiser than th

Body Awareness
The bodies awareness is not a source of evil. It’s the disconnect that is. Most people are actually very little present in their body, so food, sex, music, they are only half experienced, and people often seem very self absorbed. This is attributed to gratifying the body for some reason. Anyone have an idea why? To feel comfort? The body’s trying to tell us it’s hungry? Projection of needs onto others?

I heard something about a book written on reincarnation, and the author maintains that we tend to look basically the same life after life. So that would indicate, if true, that we have some

Indulge
Abstinence can be freeing in a way. It leads to greater indulgence, and allows for informed choice. Abstinence lets you really feel and understand your own being, and how you are letting it reflect in the world anyway, but it needn’t be compulsory. Rather than “never do this” and “always do that”, maybe it can be “right now, I won’t do that” and “right now, I really want to do this for that person”. If we do what we want to do for others, what resentment can ever build? If our actions for others are a self indulgence, then how can any ego ever arise from it? If I am warm and friendly to you bec
