hungry heart


Should I give this post another crack after it's early fame(?) at the sync whole?

I'm a mess. I'm feeling like I'm becoming Faust. I keep going down and down this damn rabbit hole, but I know what's down there. IT IS A MIRROR. I can't even read the conspiracy shit anymore. There is no evil outside power. It is just too silly. Yes there is power, but most of the nasty shit is not conscious. Natural systems flow. They move away from obstruction and yield complex structure. There is very little design actually in this world of ours.

so?

What is truth,

and then. . .

how should one live?

--our problems?

J.C. said that we lack a complete mythology and favored one tribe--humanity.

D.Q. said civilization is our problem. (good luck there!)

E.T. thinks the next evolutionary step is buddha for all (?)
--to all be totally now. Must we become animals again and abandon our civilization, a civilization that requires thinking ahead and looking back, the enemies of the now?

A.C. --I probably don't know enough, but my understanding is that he professed that we are all gods and therefore can do what ever we want. Dan Brown agreed in his Mason lovefest, and Jay-Z postured like he was a 5%er with inside secret knowledge of the working of the universe.

M.P. thinks we can fix it all by fixing food. This means cultivating local communities and solutions.

E.O. also believes in local solutions made by local groups.

B.M. wants to limit CO2 in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million because he believes burning fossil fuels is our problem.

G.M. thinks that we really don't need stuff to display our value (cuz it already there!)

Does your path or belief system have and ending or goal? Could that be a problem? Or does that order one's life and gives it its meaning?

--my suspicion is that if anything isn't real, it's our virtual lives. What am I doing broadcasting all my synchronicity? This is the devil, right? It is selfish of me to [w]hole-up as much as I do. I don't want to be a shaman. I'm creating a record of my mind, but to what end? I don't believe in the ascension. I can't do that. My messiah is Charlie Brown. We are not special.

So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

But I must say that I'm getting very strong Jupiter sync lately. And as I'm a localist [now], I guess I would tell you that I read my sync microcosmically. Jake and Jim are telling me to be the father.
The sync whole is selfishness. My unconscious is continually spiting messages out to me, about ME!

People are the treasure. I have a home. I have people. I don't need to become a supertramp to learn the value of life. It feels like I'm saying goodbye?

-A construction of mythological connection from twitter May 13 2009:

"The gallant Perseus, a son of Jupiter, was the first whaleman;"~*Moby Dick* (Melville)

"Andromeda, the daughter of a king, was tied to a rock on the sea-coast, and as Leviathan was in the very act of carrying her off,"

There is that "rock of sacrifice" again. Andromeda, the daughter of Cassiopeia was heir to the rich city of Joppa (in *Clash of the Titans*)

"Perseus, the prince of whalemen, intrepidly advancing, harpooned the monster, and delivered and married the maid."

Jonah, whose name literally means "dove" seeks to flee from "the presence of the Lord" by going to Jaffa (Joppa) and sailing to Tarshish.

"For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall [Jesus] be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

Perseus later enabled a fisherman to become king. His youth is similar to that of a guy with a similar name who sought the holy grail.

A lot of Depeche Mode on KEXP today. "Never Let Me Down" Oh yeah, the other guy's name is Perceval, Parsifal, Parzival, Peredur. . .

Abe's Axe is a symbol. Like the firey wand of Hermes, it is the conduit for bringing into action manifestations from the creative imagination. He is not killing vampires so much as freeing living dead men. The great emancipator would like to bring you into the 4th dimension of consciousness. He is going to have to kill you to do this, though. Or, actually, just annihilate your ego to transport you. In this instance, his axe is the craft. A craft is both a transport and a skill. The magician's wand is both. A pen can be mightier than the sword. What's your craft? Use your symbol well. . .
