Zigzag Idiot

The Martin Butler podcast that I posted earlier was a little harsh. This Ted Nottingham video provides a good counter balance.

Thanks, @Amandine for sharing. I miss the song you posted last night although I don't speak Spanish. Can you repost it? Share music with us whenever you feel. ?

I've never listened to that whole album. That song reminded me a little bit of this McCartney song.

Horses I've known,,,,, continues @ Marc Schinkel, reading about your runaway experience reminded me of Cisco, the black and white paint horse. Cisco had his tricks,,, such as puffing up and holding his breath when cinching down the saddle. This resulted in a loose saddle. One day I was at the far end of the big hay meadow when an old leather piece of the reins broke, down at the bit. It took Cisco about 3 seconds to realize I had no leverage over him and for him to hit top speed back towards the barn. On top of this helplessness, the saddle began to roll off to one side. He was running at full speed as I rolled with it. Luckily I just ate a little dirt and grass and somehow avoided his hooves.

Great self observation.! Cynthia Bourgeault gives the teaching of sensing the feet as a quick grounding exercise which also works well with establishing continuity of consciousness. https://www.endlesssearch.co.uk/exercises_sensing.htm This link elaborates on the idea,,,,

@Gneh Onebar Thanks for sharing! He is completely new to me. I've watched the last video you posted and will watch it again. Very interesting. Now started back at the top. Im going to watch all his video's. Will probably order his book. ??

Here is an idea to try on. A conscious activity in the present moment can alter the past.

Work on superego I think I remember lead Guitaist for Black Sabbath, Tony Lommi, say he thought that a good deal of Black Sabbath's popularity came as a reaction and tiredness to years of all the unrealistic Love and light hippies. To me, Black Sabbath music represents our raw "red" energy. It's this energy we reclaim and build to overcome superego. Silence is golden as the saying goes. But sometimes loud Black Sabbath music in the morning is good for counteracting attacks of the superego. The radical changes in rhythm and Tony's 'sing - song' guitar expressions in Under the Sun always give me the giggles.

My second Fourth Way teacher taught similarly to this recording. The idea that we have 2 higher centers - higher feeling and higher Intellectual that are completely formed but that we have to make contact with these 2 higher centers. Dwight, my teacher for a short while, was a gifted painter, refused to eat meat and his teaching leaned more to the flavor of 4th Way as esoteric Christianity.

One thing I just remembered about keeping a dream journal. I found it crucial to always have pen and note pad on a nightstand just beside the bed. Writing down the previous nights dreams had to be done immediately upon awakening or I they slipped from my mind. It was like getting out of bed and movement of the body acted like an eraser of dream material. Just after a few days after starting this, the amount of dreams and dream material increased every time I returned to this practice over the years. Castaneda recommended looking for your hands while in dreams. This would then act as a trigger for becoming lucid. I read Stephen Laberge's book.

Lol ? ?? @Marc Schinkel I love it! Anytime you want to add another story you've had with horses, please share.

Some rich text from-

I opened up this old book and realized Nassim Haramein is still talking about much of this. It's fascinating the flower of life symbol is found precisely etched in granite. I think in some old ruins in Syria and elsewhere. Nassim's elaboration about the energy in the vacuum sounds like the Causal (Imaginal realm) speculated about by contemporary mystics. Carol Anthony refers to the realm of the Atom as the realm of Consciousness also as the realm of transformation.

Since too much time has passed for an edit. Just wanted to fix this guy's lisp. Tell him to not mutter and speak more clearly. Encourage him to try and get out of fight/flight mode more often,,,,

Jordan Peterson, Hey! Yeah, Hey man, It's not like I think you're waiting with baited breath on what I'm going to say next, but dude, you're trying way too hard. Just let go some. M'Kay I love you but your dualistic frames of reference are no better than everyone else's dualistic frames of reference. Okay, I know your busy and all,,,,

Have you ever been laughed at while you're being shit on while your also being cursed. That's bad. M'Kay. On the the other end of the spectrum. Have you ever laughed and orgasmed at the same time? That's good, M'Kay,, That's really really good. ? A wise old man, who was a friend both to me and my father, on his death bed told me- "Get it while you can",,,, He left to me his 4 ft carpenters level. This wise old man, like my father and also Peggy, they go with me. They are in my heart. Along with many others.

Schadenfreude is a German word for which there is really no English word for. Terence Mckenna's word he invented in childhood - Fardow - is at the other end of the spectrum to schadenfreude. In the spirit he gives it, It concerns having empathy in seeing someone else mess up instead of Joy. You think you're above shadenfreude? Is there anyone who gives you grief or annoys you? Automatic judgements that you accept? Look close and be honest with yourself. Do you feel good when the villain in a story gets his ass handed back to him? Fardow is a useful word useful to juxtapose against schadenfreude. Fardow is closer to love. Witnessing your suffering makes me hurt. Schadenfreude is an expression of grandiosity born out of fear. The feeling of security that comes from being superior to those who are the fuck ups,,,
