LArryBlogTime: 2016

By now, I am sure you are privy to the different ways in which folks are reacting to our recent presidential election results. To say the least, I am disappointed that folks are separating themselves, in some cases life long relationships, from physical, social and virtual relationships, as a result of the way someone voted or not. These lines in the sand are not only dividing relationship, they are dividing lines of communication for understanding and healing.

Humor and satire are always a great means for viewership of a topic that seems otherwise unapproachable to some. Recently a friend posted a comment on face book with the photo below as motivation. Most of the folks who commented, had an opinion pro and con one or the other of our Presidents. I posted the comment below:

Right now Mr. Trump is a guest and future resident, being shown some of the rooms, passageways and dumb-waiters of a very large multi-leveled historical house. l sense President Obama has just introduced him and family, to a wink of vision and scope of reality that must be experienced to fully grasp; A reality I only think fully digestible well into or even post the experience. Holding the keys to that house is no light task. I think he is considering what is in store for him, feeling what may be similar to the equation of a virgin tripper on 20 hits of blotter just starting to tingle, and perhaps thinking something along the lines of.....whooooooa shit, heavy man...heavy! Well, Breathe man... Brrreeeeeaaaathe, the ride is still climbing, you've still got the coasts, drops and rolls to go bro...hehehehe...

By now we know this is a photo from Mr. Obama and Mr. Trump meeting, for the first time ever I may add, at the White House. Over the years, I though what it may be like to be President and what I may do in the case of a particular situation. The varying states of love and hate, in combination with the varying states of tolerance and intolerance, have led me to believe we need a new way of looking, approaching and communicating with others and our own selves. If you look at my recent facebook posts- https://www.facebook.com/LCASHN -you will be able to read and view some of how I feel about life and the current state of our Nation.

I continued with another thought today. Playing with films of a couple of the worlds more noted artists of parody and play, Monte Python's film the Meaning of Life and Cheech and Chong's film Nice Dreams, I decided to make a very quick video commentary/short as an addition to my reply, to my friends Facebook post. I grabbed the CNN cut of the interview from YouTube, and added the short press corps statement to a few excerpts from the above films. For Better of for worse, attached to this entry of my blog, is the video.....Engage it at first view, comment and go forward, hopefully with at least a chuckle, or view it more than one and witness the parallel's, trippy connections, references and ironic final mention of "it's always the last one..." and the corresponding scene "...that gets 'ya".

Zit-ing

if revisions continue, this will update in my NOTES section in my facebook link above....

ZIT-ING: Lyeing Belief Laying Beneath or Espressing Processes or Matters


photo: "THOUGHT" - I shot this photo in a cove of a multi-leveled cave. A cove with revolving passageways leading inside and out, respectively. Passageways to which millions have been presented in many forms, but few have witnessed as they roam, traverse, travel or trudge its being, as we do.

The entirety of the note below is a product of thoughts generated from a Facebook post. I created the original post as a result of notice that Mr. Ted Cruz had ceased his run for President of the United States. Below is a copy of the post...

I'll bet Cruz is on #7 rum and coke, might have even sneaked in a smoke and wished he had a buddy from the old days to bern one with. I mean, we're all human and the man did step into the ring for a few rounds...It had to hurt to throw in the towel. I'm sticking to my day-one prediction...it's gonna be a Trump and Sanders race...

A continuation of thought is below...

Yes, the result is Trump wins. I did elaborate once before on my original prediction for the race outcome and on some short term and long term effect of the election result. Basically what is perceived as growth is more like a growing pain. I think we want change but the process toward it is beyond the investment and trust requirements and abilities of a fractured mind and pain filled emotional body collective. Other elements are required. One being...Heart!

With the Trump seated, a heavily economic based foreign policy works on the surface for a few years, as the perception of economic prosperity satisfies the anxiety and neediness of conditioned immediacy; exacerbated yet paradoxically settling in the surfacing message bombardment being pounded into ears and egos of the masses. A deeper reality, beyond the surface, and into the complexities of individuals, cultures and myths, not uniform or focused under a human cause; will bring to surface once again, the underlying causes of issues. With disassociation, intolerance, greed and ego as drivers, this segmented collection of elements move and motivate. The previous being in contrast to the vulnerable openness of fully being undefined as humans and society. Another way to view this is like an unfortunate festering zit, a by-product of pubescence, though a process of growth. In this case, physical age is not the measure of growth and development of an individual or a culture. There seems to be an unwillingness to release the personal and collective holdings that restrain progress, and a clinching to selective and collective, falsehoods and definitions of what being right and rich is. We, as a world will continue to fester until we grow in collective body, and not by identify through separation. Even though on occasion, as adults we still get'em (zits)...Reflect now, on the adolescent moments of popping a zit in the mirror. Among other things, it can be a personal, contemplative, satisfying, sadistic, compulsive, addicting, embarrassing, vulnerable and messy experience. With regard to the zit metaphor, I’ll squeeze in a pop-ular and puny creation of the Mr’s Cheech and Chong, to assist in revealing in another way, the matter of slathering over what lies beneath the surface...If Dr. Zitsoff pimple pads and plastic filler was the cure all, there would not be issue around the process of expressing on espressing. The fact is, in terms of human growth and development..zits never go away. Origins and revelations live much deeper than the surface, and the zit is a necessary peak for viewing a deeply rooted issue and for the process of exorcising a deeper root byproduct of life, literal and metaphorically stated. I entertain a thought on occasion...the moment we think we are grown up, via some mythic context, right of passage or otherwise, is the moment we begin to suppress the natural and youthful experience of growth; all for the sake of a perception and grasp of structurally, contextually and culturally manufactured defines of adulthood. We are timeless souls in the skins of a measured existence form. We have learned to associate truth via a tool called mind. A tool that in part functions as a processor to satisfy its own need to access and associate and to define through comparison, what something is or is not. In part, the process is a function of primitive survival, the mind processes and moves on. We are not our mind, that is where the confusion comes in. We buy as truth, a processed reality without revisiting it for validity. In nature, things change and there is no constant; we only have a measure of prediction. To give example, watch a weather report/prediction on the news and then observe what happens within a spectrum of time as it passes. We have to re-evaluate constantly. We have bought a thought of real, that is not. We are individual but not separate, we are one. The unitive is not mind, it is heart; though thought based intention manifests connections or divisions through energetic focus of concepts held both individually and collectively. Heart...that is where we left off and where we are going...Perceptually variant in shadow’s depths, it will be fearfully painful and messy, or it has the possibility of surfacing clearly and clean breaking. Time to start...time to look in the mirror and perhaps engage in a deeper cleanse. Along with the literal, I sense it is time to consciously engage in a figuratively deeper cleanse. Many spiritual traditions do engage in forms of cleansing. Buddhists, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Pagans and other spiritual traditions, engage in cleansing for several different means and utilize water as a medium. Water is transforming and transformative. Our bodies systems rely on and demand water to function. Use it, they say deep cleansing will reduce the scaring. Stay hydrated my friends...

Lovingly,
