Foraged!

Long-steeped nettles infusion seems to taste a lot like coffee.
And it's sooooooooo much better than coffee.

There are a bunch of things I've been thinking about this and some discussions I and others have been having in groups about this kind of conversation.

There's one very stark thing I want to exclaim as a performance art peace, sort of knowing the answer (??) but wanting the relational process of verbalizing it more with others, and getting to learn more how others experience it.

It leads from... what IS this whole game without the opponent?

How can we even have the game without the opponent?

If we want to have the game, if we want to succeed in our way, truly the opponent's place is sacred in the panoply.

It's like a puzzle. Someone else will know the next peace.

Okay ready? Here I go.

"We should let them hurt us!  They were right to hurt us the whole time!!"

Parry?

(No parry?)

((Ah ha! A trick!))

I've got to keep going.

If we allow ourselves to be destroyed (letting the opponent win without a valiant striving to meet its challenges), it would seem we are failing to play the excellent game laid out before us.

But at this level of recognition, we cannot hate the forces of adversity playing this game with us. (This wastes our energy, unless that is itself the valuable narrative with which we are engaging...)

We cannot expect to eliminate them completely. (Unless that very expectation is the unique perception worth re-examining and eventually changing...)

We cannot despise the opponent except in cosmic jest.

Or else... would there be no game left?

Except...

...this game has so many layers and stories in it.

We can have any of an infinite number of imaginable and also unimaginable experiences.

What a cosmos to co-create in. What a blessing to discover one another in it.

What does this mean for each of us?

How do we expand our dialogues about it? :-)

"Our investments in Intuitive Infrastructure came about because we came face to face, belly to belly, with a monstrosity hidden in all of the spaces in all our communities… that we had no idea had been embedded… cell by cell, organ by organ… multi-generationally, in all our families… through the trauma that populations have been targeted with through psychosocial engineering… that has gradually (or swiftly) changed our perceptions of the meanings of our communications, our words, our languaging, our symbology.

We suddenly recognized… and then again (and then again, and then again)… that if we did not change the game we were playing, we would be dead again (and again, and again).

Fighting for the lives of our loved ones on these front lines has taught us what economics is — and how wealth must be rooted in relational integrity and collaborative fluency in order to be true and real in any way.

Our interconnections… our interstitia… the pathways traveling between each of us (all of us) from one to another… many, many, many of them all the time… as if the seemingly empty space, the empty air between you and everyone else… is full with skeins of physiology through which travel oxygen and nutrients and electric impulses… the stuff of psychic activations and shared dream experiences.

We are a body, all of us together.

The wealth of the collective body is wealth we must continuously be tending, to honor the resourcing inherent in the living body.

Everything around you is part of your dream experience in the living waking physical world we all find ourselves in."

به یاد بسپار،
اگر چیزی تو را رنجاند بر آن مراقبه کن.
احتمالا حقیقتی در آن هست.
اگر چیزی تو را رنجاند
به آن احترام بگذار
و در آن عمیق شو.

علت رنجش را کشف کن ،
نتیجه اش پاداش به همراه خواهد داشت.
اینگونه رشد میکنی.
دروغها شیرینند ، نمی رنجانند.
مواظب دروغهای شیرین باش.

وقتی چیزی تو را نمی رنجاند
نمی تواند انگیزه ای برای رشد باشد،
بی فایده است، تو را درگیر نمیکند.
تمام توجهت را روی رنج بگذار
و عصبانی نشو.
تو برای درک کردن اینجا هستی
نه برای عصبانی شدن...

#اشو

Remember,
If something hurts you, meditate on it.
There is probably some truth in it.
If something hurts you
Respect it
And go deep in it.

Find out the reason for your resentment.
The result will be rewarded.
This is how you grow.
Lies are sweet, they don't hurt.
Beware of sweet lies.

When nothing hurts you
It cannot be a motivation for growth.
It is useless, it does not involve you.
Give all your attention to the suffering
And don't get angry.
You are here to understand
Not to get angry...

Why yes, codependent is one useful word :-)

This was probably posted pretty close to when I joined Facebook originally. I don't know exactly when that was.

It's worth calling out specifically that social media is designed to keep you on the platform, to entice you to come back to the platform if your attention deviates momentarily from it, and to affect your functions in a way that causes you to be disinterested in other platforms (or, as many of us have experienced, disabled from being able to use other platforms).

There are infrastructural, algorithmic, and marketing methodology approaches that are layered into place in order to accomplish this; it's how colonial imperialism has tended to do business.

Where human trafficking methodology overlaps is also worth examining, because of the ways our relational neurology is affected.

Which is one of the reasons that I laughed again when I saw this memory highlighting, near the beginning of my Facebook tenure, that I noticed it being codependent.

Facebook and other tech platforms are actively using relational flows that can be abusive if you don't have enough resilience against them; if you don't have enough contact with stabilizing relational integrity in the rest of your life.

This has been crucial for survivors of extreme and invisible violence and severe disablement to recognize, because we are endangered by it if we don't have social structures elsewhere in our lives that protect us from it.

Many people without their own experiences of severe disablement don't realize this... and many don't realize why survivors can experience significant deterioration using social media and then disappear (sometimes permanently) from communities, for instance.

Especially considering the ways that Facebook -- and certainly not only Facebook -- has been known to seed conflict or influence public dialogue, we in the Intuitive network prefer to cultivate strong practices of bridging healthy relational connectivity.

We build bridges that assist everyone in repairing relational neurology, which is exactly what is needed to strengthen and stabilize survivors of other forms of relationship violence, especially in terms of intimate abuse and sex trafficking.

These turn out to be excellent toolsets for mitigating and preventing forms of relationship violence and interpersonal trauma that when facilitated by a complex large scale social media technology can look like something simple, like codependence.

I'm very lucky to have been able to recognize that, to have found other survivors of extreme trauma to collaborate with, and now to be able to verbalize it.

The bridges we build between very different lives, very different languages, and very different lived experiences -- these are a very powerful way to inhibit and eliminate predatory influences from our community spaces.

When we demonstrate respect, patience, integrity, kindness, and courage for and with one another -- regardless of what we might see differently -- we make it increasingly impossible for perpetrator networks and predatory interests to take advantage of our relational neurology.

This has been the most powerful work for me and I'm very grateful for what it's taught me.

When we practice this together, we change the way business is done.

We change the way marketing is done.

We create new flows of attuned presencing and collaborative fluency when we repair and revitalize our relational connections this way.

The tools of social media can be used by us to nutritive purpose; there is no need for us to allow ourselves to be used by them.

We are not a dead resource for commoditization and extraction.

We are beautiful, complex, creative, vital living beings.

We get to choose what happens next.

Everyone you encounter is surviving trauma right now, even (and sometimes especially) if they don't show it.

Sometimes, the trauma is far more severe than can be indicated, revealed, or recognized in that moment.

Remember that fearfulness comes from trauma.

Remember that silence and lack of response can come from trauma.

Remember that aggression comes from trauma.

Remember that argumentativeness comes from trauma.

Remember that cognitive dysfunction comes from trauma.

Remember that ideological rigidity comes from trauma.

Remember that misunderstandings and miscommunications can come from trauma.

Patience, kindness, respect, and awareness of the tremendous diversity of all our very different and unique lived experiences -- we can practice and center these.

Take particular care to remember that the person you're communicating with might actually be speaking a very different language than you are; one you didn't yet know how to recognize.

Especially for trauma experiencers and trauma survivors... especially when traumatic experiences are hidden or invisible... the meanings of our words often diverge from what is expected.

This can be challenging to remember when we are all experiencing such intensity.

But we can do it and we're proving it.
