    How to Allow Instantaneous Thought and Enjoy It

    Thoughts arrive like chicken and egg, cat and mouse. They are meant to be enjoyed as life as much as play. What ifs burn in our minds, exhaust our actions if there are no outlets, and so we create, endure, enjoy games. These are vibrations, feelings, waves of making sense. Unfortunately, there are so many, and so many have closed themselves off to a number of possibilities and shame and guilt and deny and blame their perception of what can/not or should/not be, sometimes without knowing anything about whatever they are. Much like anything, it's an imperfectly perfect system, which may/not leave room for allowance and being.Rather than give anecdotes or prescriptions, I give you laughter and joy and appeal of understanding through brainstorming and thought-salad; it's re-remembering, unearthing meanings and connections from a heart space that can accept them, knowing they are not of madness, anger, hate, though it's okay if they were. The practice of exercising self-talk, exploring what happens when you give your Self silence to everything except your thoughts, because there are so many, and you've been doing so much processing of them, that it quantifies and qualifies everything as catharsis, healing, revealing what matters least, what matters most, which can vary greatly day to day. And, it can be freeing to know, if the same old, same old, does/doesn't greet you, that you've found peace and knowing within/without love, fear, gain, and doubt.

    How to Enjoy Expressing Half-Thoughts in an Unclear Way

    When was the last time you said a bunch of things, like they just came out of your mouth, and it was okay?When was the last time you got to say things in an attempt to understand and process concepts, regressions, progressions, messages, interpreting lengths and lengths of thought-ribbons, using your own voice?When was the last time you allowed yourself to leave a sentence incomplete, to stray from a thought in the middle of having it, noticing that its feeling has already passed, that it's time has gone and went?When was the last time you decided to return to a thought when you were ready to deal with/explore it?When was the last time you allowed yourself to linger in reality, paused in concentration over ideas or simply allowing open space for such things to filter in, with a loving, caring, sense of knowing that our minds process so much information that reminds us, affirms, and denies our wants, based on our perceptions, desires and demons?When was the last time you found comfort and joy in figuring out all of so much of what just happened; perhaps, in addition, to everything else and how it may just correspond?For some, brainstorming is poison; for some, brainstorming is breaking through process into process, and the love of what they mean will only come to pass by experimenting with them and giving them open, focused, unfocused space.

    How to Say a Lot of Freeing Things

    Feeling is expression. Everything else is a spectrum of hues (you) being in love, being enough in or outside of a moment, guided and comforted with compassion to soothe and play within realms of the thought, spirit, body, mind... each is all, and all of it is infinite and eternal--in short, this is freedom.

  38. 28

    How to Power of the People

    A sky is a people. A street is a people. A community is a people. A mind is a people. What has come before, will come after as a people. This is the power of a people: to deconstruct, redefine, process, and build...but when it comes from knowing, understanding, cooperation, collaboration, love...it lasts longer.

    How to Give Up on Starting a Relationship

    A good heart knows what it can settle for, knows when to ask for less, knows when to ask for more.Some days a relationship may be a bouquet of roses, some a single tulip, sometimes the ones you have have been freshly cut, sometimes they're growing upward and onward, encouraging others with their delight, cozied and stayed in-garden. All require different levels of love, language. Luckily, the heart knows what it wants and knows how much is enough and when others, and your self, are asking for too little and/or too much.

    How to See a Play

    Where do we start... the playbill, the teaser, the trailer, the opinion, the suggestion, the word of mouth, the review, the cast/production staff, the music, the purchase of the tickets?Good question. All of these answers are correct. Whatever it takes to see the play, the action, the conversation, the dialogue, the thought.All of these are muscles, all of these are beauty; whether they're handsome or gorgeous. What great crime is their in determining that this is time you spend in search of feeling and fascination, desiring to quell, to quench thirsts and hungers of undying endeavors, entreating your own whims and whimsies?Isn't a world within a world enough to quiver with, at?If all the world's an act, you're being promised a few within a linear, non-linear view. Everything before is everything again, sharing a resurgence of hope and faith and love that this message of messages will share and show you truths even if in the seats next to you. Their fullness, their emptiness, a consideration less of value, worth, unless you burden your self with knowing their judgement, their being exactly everything and more that's been placed for you. Sometimes the life lessons happen before you get to the venue, before you sit and wait for closed doors and hushed voices, the undressing of curtains. Amplify that by what happens during, after. Remember, everyone's an actor. Just by your witnessing, there's another question, often unasked: when does the production truly begin, truly end?Do you wonder about other's opinions? Is there a conversation? At what level are you paying attention, at what level or you receiving the content, the interaction?Perhaps the point is perfection, that kind that only matters in glimpses, sentences, displays and galleries of hidden and revealed masks and motivations.

  42. 24

    How to Collaborate with a Frequency of Being

    There’s room for conversation, connection, cooperation, whether singularly or collectively. Sometimes, We’re trying to pull Our Selves together and/or put Our Selves in order and/or back together. We take deep breaths, We find time to *exercise; in other words, We indulge. Yes, this is what excites Us the most.When tapped into this feeling, this enjoyment of everything becomes everything because it’s enough… We’re given more without having to ask for more, just as it is said: Like Attracts Like. When our feelings dip, as they will, into “this could be better,” or “this happened too soon or too late,” or “could this person please have a this or a that,” or “I thought this was all for Me why do They get some?”, We’re creating the disfigurement of Our Selves by showing Our Selves lack, disregard, hate, all feelings known for setting Our progress back, sending Us in a lower vibrational thinking. Some may ask, where does individual/free will come in then? Preferences are Our providence, and they all only feel good. When We can say, this is enough, what “this is, it’s enough,” with such enthusiasm and candor and love, well then, that’s what that is.*-By exercise I mean everything from heavy lifting a slice of pizza into Our mouths to displaying an impressive lust for Our Selves and/or others by doing very interesting and/or arousing things. For some, it’s all the same.

    On How to Have an Unpopular Opinion

    Some say stretches of the imagination lead to discoveries, though this may be half-truth. As we look and/or sense what’s in front of us, we borrow from what is and what was. We can get lost in the difference, as a feeling, as a thought, as a vibration, as a way of being, as a value, as a judgement (etc., etc., etc.), but in this sense we have, at our disposal, an infinite “past” and/or “truth,” filled with myth and lore and legend. How we make sense of that is by composing, contrasting, and comparing the “past” with everything that “currently” exists. Believing everything is happening everywhere all at once connects the past and the present to create everything that happens in the future. Yes. We already know what happens in the future, just as we know how babies are made. Hell yeah we do!–via a, hopefully, soulful, chemical reaction. We know how people will act and react due to relations and relationships, more precisely, they’re ability to connect with each other over any and/or everything. But… look at us now, we have so many options, our world is now infinite. How do we relate to everything and everyone all at once? The same way we always have… by playing catch up, hypothesis, theory, a lovely game of hide and seek, hit and run, trial and error, dynamically from as many angles as we can and, because there’s so much to take in, everyone gets to play their part aware of this, unaware of that, collecting and connecting everything all at once.

    How to See Something as it Relates to You

    There are modes of transport, vehicles of inspiration, motivation. They drive us to a deep, inner knowing. Perhaps it's difficult to see how reflective it is due to its surface. What we see beneath/above all that, are levels.Ever wonder why we have models of depths and elevations?They're representations of thinking, each including and requiring their own vibrations and/or manifestations. Right or wrong play less of a role when determining where one is, so the saying goes “as above, so below,” and more of a role in determining how they fit into broken, fixed, known, unknown, promised (etc., etc., etc.) establishments. We can be rich and an asshole, we can be poor and a goddess. Yes, we can also be a lot of other things in-between simultaneously. Our thoughts reveal this to us in our insatiable pursuit of calm, peace, love, and understanding… and also, often, this is why we get burnt out–as there are so many things that give or take effort to process: everything.

    How to Contentedly Perform Questionable Content

    Even in the absence of memory, there is fate and there is destiny.We have numbers like trillion, billion, million… we recognize them as possibilities, chances, choices, outcomes. There are greater numbers, as there are lesser. They represent a currency, and an energy of power, faith, security, and stability. They can even illustrate love, or the lack.At what point are these things, these othering things allowed to restrict you from your own exploring, of the infinite space you’ve been given?There is a yes day, like there is a treat yo’self day, like there is a fuck it day, like there is an I get to be a petty bitch day, like there is an I’m exploring more than you could possibly imagine day, like there is a let’s have an adventure day, like there’s a let’s stay in and pretend we’ve got 24 hours to make a baby day.Only so many people know how to have these days. But everyone can have them and is having them, whether they believe them or not. Representing them, offering them up in different ways, even in their success and failings, is a gift to/for Your Self, as much as it is for everyone, and a practice of declaring that the more you play into that energy, the more you get to see what’s at/in/for love and play.

    How to Escape Ambition through Self Sabotage and Expectation

    What lust for direction have you chosen to sate today? Here's 20+ minutes, a breath, a gasp of anything. Perhaps it's wild, perhaps it's unexpected. Perhaps it explores love, its forms romantic, intimate, explicit. Oh my! What if it were gross or indecent? Perhaps there are songs. Perhaps there's a sliver of independence. Perhaps its garbage. It's so lovely, though, how we have different bags to carry things in, how we enjoy shuffling things along, sometimes they're expensive, sometimes they're cheap enough to throw away after usage. Perhaps, that's their entire point, to collect and diminish, to release and purge, whatever the need be.

    On How Pieces Reshape and Connect

    To be the kindness of daylight, without sharing the shade, is to hold one's Self back from going places. Especially in/while healing, growing, learning.

    Daylight Dreams About Waking You

    Did you know there are more ways to keep your eyes open than to close them? Why, some might say, that's quite a commitment! My oh my, what it takes for you to close them. How often do you even dare to close just one, to feel the thrill of it? And oh, but for how long?

    Percolations, Installations, and Ceilings

    Some people keep their dread in their back pocket. Some prefer that it not ride their ass, so they put it somewhere closer, forgetting perhaps, that that place is more intimate. Either way it's a confession as much as it's a secret, a place where only the deserved can feel it. Some may judge, or offer confusions, but we know and recognize what we keep with us; it's in our self-conscious, our sub conscious, the truth of ourselves; and how rare and beautiful it is when we are who we are, expressing and exposing our selves not only of our bodies, our spirits, but of our nakedness.

    Indulgence is Sweet, but Isn't it the Best Revenge?

    How often do we lick ourselves clean? It's often a performance, self-perfectionism. Why leave it anything up to someone else? Oh wait, almost everything in the universe was made and created for and by you. You must be exhausted, perhaps by knowing but certainly by glowing with the truth of this. Why be proud of anything less than everything?
