the following line (in caps) was in a post about the tent embassy goings on: >> SPIRIT OF THE FIRE TO DESTROY THE SPIRIT OF THE PREDATOR, SO PEOPLE CAN >> BEGIN THE HEALING PROCESS TO RID THE EVIL FROM THE LAND. I ask you to reflect on my reflections (always preceded by ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ hmmm; I wonder sometimes if the spirits of fires and predators aren't the famous pot and kettle couple??? Let's see if I remember some driving lessons from Vienna (courtesy Arnold Keyserling): earth = sensing; food water = security; social and outward diversifyer. air = selfpreservation; inward diversifyer. fire = agression; preservation of the species. the amount of usable (usefully fused) fire determines status in the future if we get over the task of containing pesky testes. History is at the mutable stage now: abuse of fire is the rage (one could object and say: all fires are contained and intended; nothing wild left; most fire is purposeful nowadays; it propels and heats or something; we may grow a lot less but also replace wild surface fires with well dosed, gaged and tuned forms pumped up from below; Star (or was it Ish) wouldn't have received such an enormously precious impression of off her trip contrasting with yet made possible by that fast conveyance. Don't get me wrong. I will have little of such cynical stuff myself and am trying hard here to find fault effectively) The cardinal (previous stage vegetated away in and as preuse of fire. Hard to say what climates and lifeforms passed the review and muster up during them aeons but I bet it was a lot more psychedelic than silly dinosaurs make one extrapolatively extract and suspect. We must now try for an economic, efficient, ingenuous time; usably fused fire forsterment waging age Partly inspired by a book called the language crystal by a NYC rawfooder who's apartment gets no sun. He would join a sensible community too. Proximity comes in 2 flavors: one repels, the other attracts. Hurt feelings result from unheeded hints about imposition and crowding on the one hand and unanswered invitations on the other. A tip of an iceberg bobbing in a swell of souped up chemistry full of loops feedback, clutter, distractions, assaults, insurrection, invasions, static and quiet extasy. Hurt feelings can be evoked by unexpressed insensitivity and incapacity, allowing expectations of toned training and well attuned exercise of discretion stroking with one's own set of values even and especially when instrumentarium, gauging standard, sense development and a host of other culturally embedded routines obviously just don't mesh. Every mystery blooms on a pile of old shit. But the biggest amount of civilization fostering soil isn't so (self)refreshing anymore. Aversion to its abuse set me off travelling but I'm back trailing the worst of the US behind me it seems and that's embarrasing. A bad easy ample aghen. Dad warned me not to marry out of blood, league, class or even county but my eclectic gregariousness shaped by 60s and 70s Dutch television flavors made me a social and/or asocial freak, an infertile hybrid (got 2 kids one in the US, never get to see 'm though, that's how bad it got to be with me though I can't believe it's that bad to be with me), unique.
