And another thing...

I don't feel like enduring story chasing me around for years on top of everything else for no reason.

Uh-oh, I wonder if I'm getting sucked in by a theme song...

People have to figure out what's self-care versus what's self-limiting.

Also, maybe collective ignorance which results in some people steadfastly ignoring that there's stuff going on now that's similar to what was going on in the Holocaust is not doing them or Society any favors, either.

Alas, the gatekeepers. They do gatekeep. Because I guess it's their survival strategy.

Trying to have some nice interactions and good communication instead of some other ones that feel like gaslighting when stubborn people don't want to listen. Oh, and changing the story around multiple times does not inspire confidence, but nice interactions and good communication would be better. It's possible, right? I mean, I believed nice interactions and good communication were had before. Maybe they can happen again!

And why the patriarchal men and women of a certain era rushed to be what's considered normal to everyone else so they could fit in with their toxic environments and get their paychecks heedless of whoever else they trampled on!!!!!

Consider multiple interpretations but with kind of the same theme behind it.

"Saturn Devouring His Son" - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_Devouring_His_Son

Click away from the shallow, materialistic, patriarchal parents raising some children to be just as shallow, materialistic and patriarchal so they can reassure themselves that somebody else will act just like them.

Some people.

Some people can and should stop acting like they expect to be treated like mini deities just because they're good at certain things, such as duping a bunch of gullible people into treating them like mini deities. Fawn responses in overdrive are not that good for humanity! That's one thing they can do.

Huhhhhhhhhh....

I need to heal this, because I really hate the behaviors of spoiled brats and careless rich people. Stop being a selfish scourge on humanity. Horrible. Horrible, horrible horrible! Get a f****** clue, it's long overdue!

I feel a message coming through.

Some of you will not be living in the La La Land you were living in any longer. Sayonara to all that.

I've had it.

I have woken up once again with reminders that need the universe to send me people who are better at listening so I can get help in resolving  medical issues. 

And I also feel like the stuff I experienced at an old workplace was absolutely atrocious, and it was normalized by both men and women who worked there just so they can get paychecks. It was bad. So much that I actually feel scarred for life right now when I even start to think about it. I don't want to feel scarred for life forever. 

I was impacted mentally, emotionally and financially. And all of that stuff impacted me physically, too. I can't believe how okay with gross, blatant, rotten sexism some people will train themselves to be just so they can get their paychecks. 

It's unbelievable! It's outrageous!

How can I possibly be so freaking handicapped just from being in a certain kind of body? How, how, how? It's ridiculous! 

How can I actually be maimed for life by that toxic crap?

I am so over it. I am really, really, really over it.

The sexist, Patriarchal society is filled with adults who are still operating with childlike mentalities, and it's not in a good way.

Auuugh!!!!!

There's already a feeling of yesterdayness about this, but it was kind of fun

Because several days before yesterday, I had some  experiences where I went into a zoned out state and started to remember a story about this woman who talked to her husband's deceased first wife sometimes. Apparently they had rather nice conversations. And then I ended up experiencing a strange man being very nice to me, and I got some free food along with the food I purchased, and it felt like there was a kindly energy that the Universe was providing. And then, when I was walking around in the grocery store yesterday, that experience started to come back to me again. So I wanted to see if I actually had the book with that story in it at home. And I did have it. And I also wanted to see if I could find the story, and it opened right to the last page of it! 

"The Boy Next Door" by Lois Smith Brady in "Love Lessons."

I'm really impressed I kept the book all this time. I must have bought it in my twenties, when I worked at a bookstore. (This is what I consider to be a good experience that came from a liminal space.)

I also feel very good about not being in a cult this evening.

Where did the rambling go?

I checked back and I never saw any "abundance of rambling." I guess the image was more powerful, because I always remembered it.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUPqG3kEdAx/?igsh=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==

Hah, that's true.

But I feel like a good thing I'm learning is that it really is a part of nature to know that lots of relationships go beyond what has been written in the textbooks!

The body can be very not in alignment with what has been written in textbooks sometimes.

I guess we should get better at knowing what's better for ourselves and our health. I have two different teeth that were treated in two different ways and one of them is feeling much better than the other, but I'm still trying to see if the second one will start feeling more normal after some time. I have had multiple adjustments. So I guess I will see if it really is a matter of time. And if it does not start feeling more normal, I think the work is going to need to get redone again. So that's been exasperating and costly.

I guess I better respect messages from liminal spaces.

To deal with certain things is my fate. We'll see what happens with others.

There were two kinds of messages that came from liminal spaces recently. One was in my dreams and one was in waking life. The one that was in my dreams was not good. The one from waking life was good, but I was hesitant to talk about it. Then I fell asleep and had a not very good dream.

I guess both messages were gifts in their own ways. But one was very disturbing. Also, I don't have the energy to talk about them right now. But I probably will later.

Dreams have been interesting lately.

Making a note about important music.

Although it's not easy to use words, I think I will try to explain why the end of a certain song has helped me ever since I first listened to it.

I can say that a part of this piece has made me think of seeing a sunset on lake, and the reflections on the water. You can see the sunset both in the water and in the sky. Your senses are filled with the sight, and you begin to know how beautiful the threshold between daylight and darkness is. 

But it's also about surviving intense emotional pain. So, it doesn't have to be about the beauty of the sunset. Maybe it could be about experiencing the cold and going through an interesting experience that is intensely painful. But something in the universe is going to help keep you warm enough to survive. 

I can also imagine being by the lake during the day and enduring the cold along with a lot of emotional pain, but finding the fortitude to keep on going. There's so many different things that could be associated with this music. 

I really do think that for me, this is one of the songs that has been like a gift or message from the universe. It can help people who are going through difficult times stay the course, even if it just means surviving for one more day.

It also makes me think of human suffering as being a part of nature. You're going to survive because nature is going to help you survive. Humans are here to grow, and it's not easy when we come here to experience life and deal with certain circumstances as we have blinders on. We have limitations and we get challenged, and some people really go through a lot, especially the sensitive people do. 

Maybe it also feels like some kind of divinity is coming through the music. It gives me a holy feelings; it gives me something like Anne Frank's diary was miraculously saved for a reason feelings. 

When you think of the things that you're afraid of, this is the type of music that can help someone like me have more courage. And it's a reminder that other people have gone through painful things too. Feeling alone can actually be a shared experience. Whether it's something you share with another person or a bird or a cloud in the sky, nature is a witness to it all.

Or, maybe it's that the music at end of the song draws me into a "liminal space."

Sufjan Stevens, "Drawn To The Blood" (Official Audio)

https://youtube.com/watch?v=jkkpHDX_Cvg&si=FyrZlJBIkStGX7TF

Oh, so much possibility in the liminal space!

I feel like it's also probably a lot more than this. I was just trying to find some words from this era to explain how the music has been particularly helpful to me. It's not entirely possible to put into words. But I am glad the music is here for us.

Music is so great because it's going to last forever and continue to change meaning and speak to people in so many different ways. It's pretty amazing, honestly.

Time to learn more about thinking and systems?

"I had a dream about being a man in another life and just having a different kind of experience and that wasn't so bad.

And then I had a dream about how terrible the Holocaust was and how merciless they were about killing people and there was something about burying poison in the ground after it was over.

Point of view was witnessing some of the last  selections of who they chose to kill as a calm observer from above (a spirit), and then being one of the people on the ground shoveling Earth over the poison."

I woke up hours ago and could not get back to sleep, but the time has flown by and the sun will be up soon.

No coffee for this one today.

I am thinking that some people can ask the universe for more help in caring for the parts of themselves that were hurt as little kids, and they will be able to understand their experiences better soon.

God, direct my attention to whatever helps me develop more patience.

It's as if I don't understand the appeal of the self-absorption of some of the famous ones in this era in a way that's hard to communicate because some people don't want to see how it's also very limiting and damaging to be so self-serving, and there's so much around them that's working to keep them sheltered from other realities. I don't get that shelter, but I also don't even want it. I may want some kind of shelter, but that is not the kind of shelter I am seeking. It feels like that kind of shelter or filter is putting limits on their awareness and ability to perceive the world around them. It's limiting their abilities. They get rewarded for their role in keeping things smaller and more manageable for Patriarchal Systems. Shutting out and shutting down and getting praised for that behavior is part of an old pattern that they are repeating. But maybe I just need to look at something else, or somewhere else. Sometimes that would be a much better thing for me to do.

What about just living a more healthy and balanced life, versus putting stuff out to make it seem like you're more worthy of being here?

Complaining as a spiritual practice.

I feel like this life has taught me that some people who get accolades and prizes for their creations can still be very disappointingly irresponsible at taking any accountability for their own healing, and they behave in ways that are shady and dishonest. And it causes harm. The harm they do to themselves extends to how they treat others.

Where does greatness originate, anyways?

This life is not forever.

I do think I have a while further to go in this life, but I still reserve the right to feel irritated when I can tell something is kind of messed up and needs to get some of the kinks worked out. And I am very disinclined to join any cults.

I bet. Maybe I'd even bet moneyyy...

I bet being more careful and conscientious and  environmental and less culty would be an excellent health care choice.

But for some reason, I really don't think I can watch that other film right now. I felt creeped out by the trailer. How much of the protagonist's identity revolves around having a wife and a baby? "Every good man in a historic film should have someone like them around to brighten up his character."  It's that squeaky styrofoam / nails on chalkboard feeling. "Run away. Run away. Run away!" Like Monty Python. I don't know, I guess it could change in the future, but that's how it feels right now, and it made me think about the women at this conference.

It's like they want to go back to some 1800s style of living and their crowning achievement is to be a mother and a wife. Well, I guess that's fine for some people. But if everybody just wants to act quiet and nice all the time when they have feelings like this about certain things, then how quickly will any progress ever be made?

Maybe I just have to watch a historic film about a woman who had a bunch of kids and then her husband died and so she went insane and got put into an asylum and then seemed to get better so took her back but then she went crazy again so then they put her back in the asylum. And there she lived out the rest of her days. Maybe I have to watch a film like that.

Maybe not everybody has to do that?

Have fun figuring that out! In this life or the next.

Maybe sometimes you need more rage than you need peace, but sometimes you need more peace. Then you need more rage.

"OPINION: Aesthetic feminism is super anti-feminist"

On to the next thing, on to the next thing, on to the next thing..

Sometimes I really do wonder if more people could get better at acknowledging there were times when they did enjoy advantages over others. 

If we get more evolved, we could do this not so much as a self-shaming thing, but as a way to strive towards enjoying good humane qualities like honesty and truthfulness and compassion. 

Our brains are wired very strangely sometimes, because of what went into them when we were in our formative years, and because the world was hard on our nerves. But perhaps we could still rewire our brains and some of our patterns. That could help us recognize that having compassion for others can be part of having compassion for self too.

It can be hard and painful to live this Earth experience sometimes. Physically, emotionally, and etcetra. It's actually kind of challenging sometimes to figure out what's going on, isn't it? Especially when there's a lot of adverse circumstances to deal with.

If you feel affected by certain segments of society, it feels like there's all these patterns around you that are trying to make it so you do not change too much. They want you to keep on going along with the same old patterns. A lot of people can't do that anymore, though.

Taking a little break from thinking about this right now. Maybe just time to regulate the nervous system a bit more.

It's a feeling.

Thinking that some people could do a little bit more deep thinking about their personal preferences and fashion choices as well.

And let's not forget Louise Solmitz.

I think this is a truth to believe in...

People learning how to treat themselves better will make it easier for them to treat others better and it will be a more pleasant and fun experience to know them.

Frustrating human experiences...

The suffering because of people not listening and focusing on external at the expense of internal health is real. I will either need to get better treatment on a tooth or go elsewhere and get more work done again.
