Body Fixation

You are living in a time or a world that has no concepts of doctors. Your closet equivalent is a shaman, or a healer, who is familiar with empowering patterns of consciousness (everyone comes to them for advice) and perhaps some simple herbs & remedies. These simple remedies are backed up by powerful stories familiar to your culture or tribe. For instance, you may believe that strawberries, with their powerful red color, are good for circulation or enhance passion.

Consuming these stories is bringing them into yourself. We consume stories like this all the time.

Our culture is far too fixated on the body. We blame everything on the body and it becomes a fixation upon which all other stories need to pay tribute.

Why does it feel uncomfortable or "yucky" to see "underneath" the flesh? Why do we recoil? Have you ever stopped to wonder why?

Revulsion is a warning sign -- ignored and overwritten at one's peril. All feelings are feedback mechanisms tuned to Zero/God and are in perfect order. They are how you "receive signals" from the cosmos. They malfunction when they are ignored or second-guessed. They are not intended to provide you with a "complete answer" because that answer is far too sprawling and complex for you to comprehend in the moment when a decision must be made -- see the Drunk Librarian and how we have been created to be the "ultimate references."

How did the anatomy of the human body come into being, except through a gradual progression of fixation and expectation of narrative creating it? Like the tree falling in the forest when no one is around -- is there an "inside" of the body if no one has ever seen it?

Of course there isn't -- because nothing exists until it is brought into creation via an act of will (observation.) Return to an older post about how science has become a physical obsession --> Science & AI. This does not mean we are not beholden to "old observations" that have settled into the collective mind -- but rather we have "delved too deep."


The House of Mirrors

You are always at the "apex" of your cohesion as an individualized soul, even if this apex may appear a "less than you can imagine." I want you to consider not just your entire life, but all your prior lives. If you do not believe in reincarnation (or variants), then consider all the lives of your ancestors ; consider the "code" that you believe is in the DNA that was cultivated by the lives of your ancestors -- the material that provides some level of influence when you enter this world. There are things you know that are built-in -- not just behaviors, but preferences that seem to have no roots in your current life.

Now with this consideration in mind, consider how all of these experiences & knowledge would culminate into a lens, or a window, as they must. This is easy to do. If you are conditioned to thinking you are "all that is of this life" then just expand your scope to consider you are "all that has come before" as well.

With this mind, then, let us consider: Why are you here? This article is not about why we live or why we experience but why you are here in this moment and not somewhere else. But the more important question is: why can't you go somewhere else?

"Somewhere else." What does that mean? Well, you can easily conceive a place "other than here" can't you? I don't mean your home versus the grocery store. I mean a place that seems "other" than your "whole conception of the universe."
