I don’t watch much television so Jason Silva is new to me. I learned of him via a post on Facebook. These days forms of edutainment seem to be the most used means of education.

Everything amplified
Amplitude ungratified
Jackhammer needle
Drumcorp heartbeat
anaphylactic shock treatment
Welcome relief , yet
carving
Re-bind-ing your soul and spirit less
Micro-cosmic in details
Silence extrudes
Timeless and endless
this sidewalk
Revealing , nothing
Really slow and
The perfect pickle
She gives, but knows
Sac re-legions licks bowls
Living in the sticks
Randy becomes a prick
a neighbor got him sick
That’s another bit
Absorbed dis-information
Made you proud of shit
Even though, you ain’t it
But you could whip him
In-ah-min-it
Timeless and endless
The pain was
One tone
Re-assembling symbols
Resembling cymbals
Sleep reset
Almost recent

*** Both about panic and shock and amplified emotional states. How did that ever help prepare for the instinctive response to cancer treatment, which after the first rush of fears, was just keeping up with getting to appointments and waiting through treatments….while the countryside was smoking volumes every summer and the news was full of groups of victims. Indeed our troubles were small compared to those going on with leadership in the country.
This actually was inspired by a group of paired adverbadjatie attempting to describe the experience of the drug LSD on the senses and how the mind perceives them. I need to look up what anaphylactic drugs do to mental states….well I guess for one thing your body decides you can live! That’s got to be a rush.
Maybe we should be selective in which factories we bring back. Are they loose on environmental standards enforcement? What about labor unions? Fair wage could bring up the cost of production…are corporation willing to reduce their cut? Or are they just jerking the markets around? Property values go up? But fewer can afford them?
So many questions, so many factors. Are we going to be surprised the prisons are full again? Human misery is “good economy”? What did you fight for when you were 20 and 30 something? My generation wanted peace (well my local soft leftist high-school did) and more “field trips” out to the wildly relevant -Steam Anchor Brewery- No, we didn’t get to drink it (school accreditation at stake)
I guess we weren’t all that radical. and then again my first orientation with my new classmates was a field trip to Big Sur (why the school chose there,…I don’t remember because flow of time space changed, this was the occasion where I first experienced effective cannabis high whereas all previous exposure to the herb was dull and no more buzz than a cigaret (them foolish White Boys in Alameda) Further – more, on returning from the trip to Big Sur (where I sanded the top of my feet by standing stoned in the edge of surf) same classmates begged a sleep-over in the classrooms since many lived far away and would have to turn right back around the next morning to attend classes. I don’t recall
Signs of Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) in Adults
Adults with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) feel assaulted by the world and all of its ticking clocks, buzzing lights, and strong perfumes. …everyday sounds and textures feel unbearably distracting.
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) manifests in many small, sometimes maddening ways. Itchy tags may be unbearable. Loud music intolerable. Perfume simply sickening. Whatever the specific symptoms, SPD disorder makes it difficult to interact with your daily environment. This impacts how you relate to others, study and learn, participate in sports and group activities, and follow your dreams. It is a unique and challenging neurological condition associated with inefficient processing of sensory information that is commonly found in adults with ADHD, and it deserves serious support

Away from desk for a couple of weeks… Lots of personal events but nothing to report for a while. My creative stuff is on hold. For one the studio does not have enough air conditioning to deal with the extreme heat wave so I’m chilling in cooler parts of the house. Also some family members are having hard times also complicated by the heat. Growing old is easy, surviving is questionable.
What’s on my mind today? Well…
Each day ask the universe “tell me something about your self”
What’s in your orbit?
Who’s in your orbit
These are beautiful prompts for introspection and connection with the universe! Here's a possible interpretation and how to approach them:
1. "Tell me something about yourself"
* Daily Practice:
* Mindfulness: Start by grounding yourself through meditation or deep breathing.
* Openness: Approach the universe with a sense of curiosity and receptivity.
* Listen Within: Pay attention to your inner voice, intuition, or any subtle messages that come to you throughout the day.
* Observe the World: Notice synchronicities, patterns, and unexpected events.
* Journaling: Reflect on your experiences and insights at the end of the day.
* Possible Responses:
* You might receive a sudden burst of inspiration.
* You might encounter a stranger who shares a profound message.
* You might witness an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon.
* You might simply feel a sense of peace and interconnectedness.
2. "What's in your orbit?"
* Interpretation: This can be interpreted in various ways:
* The Universe: Consider the vastness of the cosmos – planets, stars, galaxies, dark matter, and energy.
* Your Own Life: What are the major forces and influences shaping your life? Relationships, career, values, beliefs, and life experiences.
* Current Focus: What are your current priorities and goals? What are you focusing your energy on?
* Exploration:
* Mind Map: Create a visual representation of the key elements in your "orbit."
* Reflection: Analyze the relationships and interactions between these elements.
* Adjustments: Identify any areas where you need to make adjustments or shifts in focus.
3. "How do I treat my vessel? Work with wisdom not against it."
* "Vessel" refers to your physical body and mind.
* Key Principles:
* Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with kindness, understanding, and forgiveness.
* Nourishment: Provide your body with healthy food, sufficient sleep, and regular exercise.
* Mindful Movement: Engage in activities that bring joy and relaxation to your body and mind, such as yoga, dance, or spending time in nature.
* Stress Management: Develop healthy coping mechanisms for stress, such as meditation, deep breathing, or spending time in nature.
* Rest and Renewal: Prioritize rest and rejuvenation to prevent burnout.
* Wisdom in Action:
* Listen to your body's signals: Pay attention to hunger, thirst, fatigue, and pain.
* Avoid pushing yourself too hard: Rest when you need it and avoid overexertion.
* Practice self-care: Make time for activities that nourish your mind, body, and spirit.
By consistently engaging with these prompts, you can deepen your understanding of yourself and your place within the universe. Remember that this is a journey of self-discovery, and there are no right or wrong answers.
How do I treat my vessel? Work with wisdom not against it.
What can I say and do to assure my fellows?
What do I touch to improve? What do I let go?
Training of amygdala and hippocampus. Limbic system.
Let the force be with you not against you
We learn to work with gravity not against it (should we launch rockets?)
Conformity , confirmation, tradition and rules and laws of nature and civil society.
Learn the tools of thought , thinking. Plato, Aristotle etc. what modern ones? Bertrand Russell etc
Rational and or logic?
A starving mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Antiquities
Slavery lost lessons of past, lost family connections, distributed, moved, different training , experience, treatment. Identify with exile, abuse by and of authority. Easy to identify, sympathize with Christ and Israelites. Lost their teachings and formed new ones with parts of remembered tradition, integrated parts of many. Also remember, debtors and criminals and indigenous were part of early settlers and included in the slave populations.
Sound is an amusement.
Music is a measure.

What do YOU see?
Intelligence is awareness
Fear (of the unknown?) envisions all
Artificial Intelligence seems ample to envision all fears
(Spiritus Mundi is a Latin term that literally means, ”world spirit. ” In Spiritus Mundi, there is, according to William Butler Yeats, ”a universal memory and a ‘muse’ of sorts that provides inspiration to the poet or writer.)
There are many things that have lead to my desire and understanding of this question… Why are we superstitious creatures?
Short answer, pain, and fear of detected or undetected danger to our body, well being and society.
I think all stories, myth, religion, politics etc revolve around our past, contemporary or projected dangers and our search for favorable relief, psychological ease and feeling of safety.
To contribute to our ease we seek pleasure, fun, wealth and ritual, (oh, and positive thinking), all distractions from our eventual demise.
Energy levels or “vibe” can influence who we friend and activities we engage in.
Many advertising magics engage our desire for community power and security.
There are stratifications of societal and family magics to conceptually engage and protect each tier.
The truth is entangled in the magic of hard and soft lies.
[Bible] [History] [Institutions] may or may not have lead to Favorable shifts in human behavior.
Maybe the only original sin/(mistakes) we have is inherited lies.
Therefore I may postulate we exist and co-exist because we are lies.
Now, where is the Center of The Garden of Eden?
Where was/is Tarsus where Saul/Paul was from? [Turkey]
Sometimes it all feels whole and complete and I’m there, a part of it.
The bummer is that in my many turns I do not feel I handle my life all that well and some suffer from that. To reflect: that self assuredness may be rare or tender in some of my tribe ( a wide distribution of choices in possibilities, in prospects they charmed me into, not so much pursued ) and that is why many act goofy to some other previous perspective. More simply, I have not enjoyed whole heartedly the merry prancing of pre-mature aging.
Some of my family are rather neurotic. Present times have not made it calmer.
Growing up in the SF Metro Bay Area I had little to no exposure to Farmer’s life or Ranching (other than Hollywood and TV portrayals). Although I had good physical workout doing maintenance and construction work, that physique became buried under flab after I was pushed into desk jobs. I do think I would be in better shape and have made better adjustment if I had been raised on a farm or ranch. I think the demands of a working ranch or vegetable farm would keep you in good habits. I don’t think I could stand to go back to the city. I’m still waylaid by my ills and it would be a real physical struggle (impossible) to make a living farming (on my own).
science is all about quantities
radiant quality and material state
a study of life
yes awkward, if we desire a state of
constant observation experimentation and
recorded measurements to stock your data and
enhance life,
make life more “survivable”
then your art may be a spiritual guide
art makes life more livable
can we claim a human right to “art”?
the young buck against the goads
but not always intentional its
a kind of thinking claustrophobia
Roots upon this earth
branches in the stars
UNDERSTANDING is MORPHIC!
