  • THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SELF LOVE AND UNIVERSAL LOVE- A love poem for myself...and for Teal Swan
    Apr 13 2022
    Thursday, March 17th- Wednesday, April 13th, 2022 THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SELF LOVE AND UNIVERSAL LOVE— A poem for myself and for Teal Swan Note: All I have to say about my dedicating this poem to myself is that it is best explained within the poem itself. As for why I dedicate it to Teal Swan, this, I feel, deserves a more prosaic explanation since I want to express with a bit more elaborateness and fullness (as opposed to the more mystical nature of poetry); i.e., I believe embedding a piece of prose into a poem, especially as an introductory/headnote, or endnotes, et cetera, necessarily adds an extra dimension and thus fuller sense of meaning and meaningfulness. I won’t however call this an all out prosimetrum (only a prosimetric poem) because the prose exists for the purpose of the poem. It’s not a consciously and intentionally symbiotic relationship, so to speak. My models for this particular prosimetric style/device are Percy Shelley, Alexander Pope, and Daniel Dafoe, who wrote significantly meaningful notes to their poems. There’s also a touch of influence from Ralph Waldo Emerson, who wrote epigraphs to many of his essays in verse poetry. This poem is for Teal Swan because she’s its most profound and direct source of inspiration. In 2015, Teal Swan published a book titled Shadows Before Dawn . The book explores both her personal story from self-hatred to self-love (as the context of her struggle is rather complex and includes saving herself from nearly 15 years of exceptionally cruel sexual abuse and in the even more complex context of being an exceptionally sensitive human, on my part, this is a rather overly abstract over-simplification and understatement…) and a set of techniques she suggests that may help one initiate or improve one’s self love. Had her book lacked a connection between the law of attraction and self love, I may not have read it, or not so closely as to end up writing a poem directly inspired by it. But I’ve been studying and researching the relationship between that which exists within consciousness and that which we can perceive since I was 21, when I first realized there is a sense, even if only illusory (though still necessary), of free will, and began exploring the relationship between what I wrote from consciousness and imagination and what I experienced more perceptively in life.
 Like many people in or around 2006, when The Secret was published as a book, and produced as a movie, some interdisciplinary academic theories regarding the so called “law of attraction” played an influential role in exploring what the sense of free will within our minds might possibly achieve in our lives. Now, some 15 years later, having explored all the various perspectives on the law of attraction, from the religious (a la the implications of the Christian notion of prayer, for example; another example of a somewhat religious thinker is the very yogic Sadhguru, though, he certainly pays his respects to science) to the scientific (see Dr. Joe Dispenza, who it would seem, is among the top leaders in empirical research on the relationship between consciousness and perception, and the role thoughts and feelings play; see also Dr. Tara Swart, whose work also explores the rote science of the law of attraction; finally, I would also suggest googling the Central Intelligence Agency’s “Gateway Document” which attempted to explore the relationship between quantum physics and consciousness and how consciousness could be both altered, leave the body and travel to different dimensions of the universe, and even redesign aspects of physical reality) to the more speculative. The speculative attempts to grasp new insights re: the law of attraction are the hardest to contemplate for me since they’re not based on peer-reviewed academic studies on, say, the pineal gland, like Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work, and thus, you are taking someone’s “word for it” in terms of what they believe they can...

    A human’s fleeting feeling Opening itself to reason See Joni Mitchell John Lennon Bob Dylan et Alia Special paradox that is the transition From monogamy To Non and/ or polyamory What does being married mean When monogamy and contracts turn moot? What are openly married poly spouses to do? We discover beautiful clues In the form of mystical, spiritual tattoos Shooting invisible spirit beams of healthy attachments connections Between me and you In the midst of the search for Cool Love To love Cooly “With all my heart and soul” Pure peace And the most feathery Tenderness Dedicated Exclusively To you With And Without you To cooly love Through Thoughts and feelings As if the coolness was a cruise ship Cruising the Atlantic Ocean Smoothly From Manhattan To Barcelona When one couldn’t have asked For better weather Intellect Bright like the sun and other stars Leading Electricity’s Streams through neurons In the spirit of a most devoted Eros Deep and wide Learning To tame An emotion That is ferocious Like an aggressive and highly reactive lion and/or shark This thing that is just A human’s fleeting feeling Opening itself to reason I’m sorry, darling, I apologize, please forgive me I didn’t mean To indulge in my selfishness and greed To guilt you, Dismiss you, Quit you, Bullshit you, Manipulatively restrict you, Piss you off, Convict you, Ditch you, Call you a witch Call you a fucking slut whore bitch Get addicted to you, Flip flop on you, Be a prick to you Demean your clit, Build a wall of bricks between me and you Get unhinged with you Pressure the altruist in you Drown myself in whiskey to spite you Make it all about me and not at all about you To bust the trust That thrusted us Into such an abundance Of love for each other I hope, Special lady, We remain so close Through this revolutionary personal evolution A human’s fleeting feeling Opening itself to reason So what of these drastic, radical changes In oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin levels Withdrawal squalls of mixed emotions — If I lie And deny That detaching from you Hurts like poverty, A human’s fleeting feeling Opening itself to reason The dishonesty Would only serve to sever us worse And so, in the name of intimacy I vent And confess When I felt envy And the envy wasn’t even green It was red a.f. As for the jealousy It was a parasite of exceptional intensity that fed on “b.s.” Harvested by my very own psychological weaknesses But praise the mysterious creativity of the universe And its’ creation of love and thus love’s force Naturally reaching To give and receive Trust, and generosity And overpowering The powerful inertia Of the periodic bouts of hypocrisy Love clinging to philosophy ethics The principle of freedom I.e., no expectations Limitations Manipulations A human’s fleeting feeling Opening itself to reason Part of love’s grand beauty Is that it is indeed free Connections Exploring This freedom Autonomy An ultimately independent Decision Judgement Awareness of abundance Individualism Individuality Self Self esteem Exceptional confidence Mental health, wellness Friendships Desiring Inspiring Attachments That don’t Lead To Dependence Obsession Possessiveness Jealousy Envy A human’s fleeting feeling Opening itself to reason Savoring intimacy that goes so close Craving it when we don’t feel it Though still quite fine okay not bad good When you’re all alone And the better parts of the social and cultural Keeping you from turning cold Heat also radiating from compersion Cultivating our flexibility Via compassion plus intimacy Because we All Deserve As many lovers As we can actually Genuinely Love A human’s fleeting feeling Opening itself to reason And the bittersweetness of letting go So hotly erotic Because moral/ ethical/ virtuous pleasures us Beyond measure...

  • To Jewel (A Love Poem)
    Apr 6 2022
    Mi amor, you are my moon, mi luna, orbiting around my soul… of course, you are my stars too, my sun star especially, and how do you do it? You are also my Earth. My water and oxygen. You personify my hope for a better universe. Your eyes, skin, hair, motion, breaths… all shine true virtue in my eyes. But which virtues and how do I know they’re “true virtues” — ? Where would I even begin? You cared to ask why I felt so hurt. Maybe to some people such a simple question isn’t worth so much but life is so complex that often enough people inadvertently (perhaps; I hope) don’t give a fuck unless you’re giving them money, or special attention and you’re someone they want special attention from. It’s not an utterly bad thing, per se. We can’t do and be all things for all people. Which makes your genuine caring all the more meaningful. It is not mere rote duty applied to those who arbitrarily pass us by. It’s intentional, private, intimate, and personal. Does that make sense to you?” “Yes,” you said. I regret how absurdly not “down to earth.” I can be, sometimes, refusing to answer, just sitting there, staring plaintively at the air, when you ask “what’s the matter?” But darling, the thing is that I just don’t want to make your day any sadder. I don’t want reek of weakness either. And yet, I can’t make those dark gray episodes just disintegrate…” … “that’s why I’m always telling you to meditate,” you said. And then I said, “But I forget., So then I feel really quite ashamed. Lame. What? I mean, am I going to just say again, ‘hey babe, you earned more money than me and I’m mad fucking jealous about it, and even more jealous cause I imagine men with more money who would fuck you better than I can, fuck you while lifting you up, hold you against the wall…” Of course, you always assure me that’s not what you want. And you said, “okay, but what do you want me to do about my salary? Refuse the money?” I said “no of course not.” “Okay, then,” you said, And then asked, “honey, won’t you come to bed now?” I said “okay.” I drank a few shots of whiskey, joined you in bed and said I’d “absolutely cry my life away, like, literally everyday, if suddenly you didn’t want to stay with me anymore.” “Do you still like to explore me?” I asked. “I mean, like, do I still make you horny?” “You think about sex and money a lot,” you said. ‘Two things that really fuck with peoples’ heads,” I said. “But anyway, why wouldn’t you want to be with someone who fucks better and makes a lot more money? Wouldn’t that make you happier?” “Thirteen years with me and you think I’ve suddenly turned shallow?” “No. Not shallow. It’s just that somehow I feel I’ve atrophied.” You laughed. “I’m sorry for laughing but sometimes you can be so over-dramatic.” “In your opinion. In mine, I don’t know. Something’s the matter with me.” “Nothing’s the matter with you except that you’re having a panic attack mixed with a nasty spell of sadness because success isn’t coming to you as fast as we wish it would. You know shit gets to me too. You helped me keep my cool while I mustered through Veterinary school.” “Maybe that’s true. But… Ah, you just do things better than I do.” “No. That’s not true. And that’s not nice to say that to yourself. I wish you didn’t feel that way! What happened to my lovely optimist? And by the way, of course I still think your hot And find your naked body sexy and sacred. Do you still like my thighs? My tummy.” you then asked. “I love them both and your pussy’s still yummy.” I smiled. “I don’t ever want to take you for granted,” I said. “My love for you is planted in the depths of my brain. I’m so fucking fond of you and attached to...

  • On hope
    Apr 6 2022
    Hope is one of my favorite words in the English language. (And Hope is also its own language!) I cling to both… The word “Hope” and the Hope language. I sing to it! Hope is that springtime temperature rise, sublimating the previous winter’s oh-how-cliché, dry, jaded ice; that springtime temperature rise moisturizing and soothing my cracked lips… Indeed, hope has a tropical quality. Hope causes the palm-trees to hula dance. Hope places the glow in the turquoise, “crystal clear” oceanwaters. Yes, because Hope is the sun and every star like it. Not only providing light but also creating life and meaning, and daydreaming, and sleepdreaming. Don’t be deceived! by the darkness and the cold. “Things are not always what they seem.” Look to the streetlights. Then you might see Hope’s sacredness snowing divinity rainbows upon which the dreamy persistent, resilient sunflower prayers of near infinity grow. Hm, is that an overdose of unbelievable figurative, imagistic language? Then again, magical realism is all the rage these days. Certain shades of magical realism radiate waves of hope, sort of like 19th century romanticism, giving the most abstract, allegedly low impact aspects of imagination their own outer space imaginations with imaginary space station cafes (oh yes, space coffee is great when you need to caffeinate, the best!), winery lounges open for tastings and relaxation, (just please don’t mix your uppers and your downers — it’s dangerous!)… …these abstract outer space imaginations grow things of mystifying beauty, thus they’re great for inspiration, creating art… no matter what your trade is! They take you on spiritual vacations! I’ve been saving up for one! Three decades of loose change! Shaking my piggy banks like they’re tambourines, to the rhythms of “Imagine,” by John Lennon and “Californication” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Anthony Kiedis’s rhythms remind me that it’s not just what you say but how you say it. There I go again with another cliché! Keep em’ coming. Then again, some so-called cliches are actually nearly timeless and hopeful sayings… they stay around, like the Earth, …if we don’t shoot heroin into its dirt and pollute the water and the air. Yeah, so I think so-called cliches can serve like single words so long as you surround them with exotic birds — the exotic qualities are immersed in the context of personalized reflections on striving, with Hope, for universals. Hope believes in and espouses universals! Maybe that’s why Proust’s In Search of Lost Time seems, to me, so hopeful and absolutely sublime. Has almost all I could ask of art and literature except for rhyme. Hope is 2008. “Hope and change” President Obama all the way! It was a time to celebrate. Hope is a holiday! Hope is the patience while we were waiting in pain but not in vain (!) (thank fate’s grace!) — for nearly a year — for the Covid vaccinations Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna would eventually make. Hope is universal healthcare, which yes, the richest, “the one percent” should pay for. Some critics might say it’s not fair to punish and enslave them for the success they achieved. But let’s face it, at the end of the day it was their lucky fate, the right DNA, the right time at the right place, the right friends with the right connections. It doesn’t have to be quite that way. We can make society and nature a little fairer by sharing resources — water, knowledge and money. Hope knows it can most likely be done! Hope is hot and sexy! Look at Hope’s flexibility! Winning gold medals at the summer and winter Olympics. Then again, hope feels the Brail utterance of the gold medals and wins, inherent in every zeptosecond of existence. That’s hope’s most fundamental principle. Hope breaks bad habits, like sucking on your thumb, drinking alcohol till your numb, fucking people you don’t really want;...

  • The fear of death and living life in vain
    Apr 6 2022
    …The fear of death and living life in vain… even to say it, as I sit here, at my desk, which is like my own private Star Trek holodeck, and flightdeck/cockpit, where I figuratively “fly” to and/or through my abstract thoughts—like planets and their moons--, feelings—like looming changes in gravitational forces, brightness and dimness of light— and my memories—some like treasure, which thus, brings me pleasure; some I wish would never return to my mind; some so fragmented that I can’t find any kind of coherence… though perhaps with time I could… …As I sit here and write… even to write about how death and living life in vain frighten me, as if to verbalize the states of various places within my mind were to give life so to speak, to the words, and, make murderers of nightmarish words, so to speak… though if that were so, on and on I’d go verbalizing my prayers “into reality”: for example, my prayer for my immortality and immortality for anyone else who wants to be immortal. …Do you think it’s ironic that one’s consciousness can fear the prospect of disappearing… as if consciousness could be conscious of death and yet of nothing else! But I’ve been retraining and reframing my brain… (or should I say my brain is training itself? Isn’t it the case that one’s “self” is the same thing as one’s brain? Or the mind/consciousness and unconscious, Which the brain makes? …Isn’t it the case that one’s “self” is the same thing as one’s brain? Or the mind/consciousness and unconscious, which the brain makes? These sorts of contemplations often propelled me into dissociation which then often induced panic attacks— palpitating heart, shortness of breath, body sweats, body quakes, makes me cry sometimes, pray sometimes to the universe and say to it that I hope it’s the case that IT, i.e., the Universe is synonymous with God and that there’s a way to convince this great Universe God/God Universe to disintegrate my anxiety obliterate my anxiety, dissipate my anxiety and convince it also to “make our dreams come true” let it be that fantasy is more than mere fantasy that we create aspects of nature through thoughts and feelings which are also—if we could be so fortunate-- karmic forces placing mind over matter; that’s how I wish the nature of the universe could be…. …Such contemplations lead to dissociation and panic attacks because they accentuate the idea that free-will/choice/control is all bullshit and that the soul is… like Ivan Pavlov and his dog, John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner-- stimulation and response; the idea, in other words, that all aspects of reality are mere automatons though some with ironic, paradoxical consciousness that project, develop, and maintain illusions of significance based on what may seem like coincidences of physics… and yet…if that’s all this universe and human consciousness is… why must it happen to be the case that it leads me to dissociate? Cruel coincidence of fate? Like tsunamis that come and terminate so many human lives who never had a chance, never had any say, like genetic diseases… brains so full of hate like those of Stalin and Hitler that create genocides trying to obliterate entire races! Sometimes I think life/reality/existence/consciousness drives me crazy and so I drink so that the terror is made hazy so that for awhile my nerves can be lazy and I can concentrate on the taste of my coffee, making love, appreciating and creating art, et cetera, and escape that feeling that we all—in terms of consciousness-- inevitably fall apart …or who knows…maybe death is the start of something so great that only the complications of this “earthly” life could teach a soul to appreciate… but I wish not to speculate any deeper, and longer, as I don’t want the darkness in my thoughts to grow...
