II, IE, EI, EE

Did you ever wonder, are you an introvert or an extrovert when it comes to your personal energy?

Imagine self is a vessel with a number of ports. These ports can be filled by the energy of the vessel, or filled by an other. I'm using introverted to mean seeking self, and extroverted to mean seeking others. Interior and exterior are the inside and outside, respectively, of the metabolism ports of the vessel that is the self.  By dna I mean to say basic element of identity that is the body on which history is recorded, and by mitochondria I mean small bit of genetic material that can separate off like a particle and potentially become part of another form.

 

Introverted Interior II

run to exclude others inside the body

run by self and kin

low effect on dna and mitochondria

accepts/asks for help to sense

seeks small width aura/body heat

Introverted Exterior IE

run to exclude others in the aura/body heat

run by self and kin

low effect on dna and mitochondria

accepts/asks for help to sense

seeks small width aura/body heat

Extroverted Interior EI

run to include others inside the body

run by self, kin and community

large effect on dna and mitochondria

accepts/asks for help inside self

seeks small width aura/body heat

Extroverted Exterior EE

run to include others in the aura/body heat

run by self, kin and community

large effect on dna and mitochondria

accepts/asks for help inside aura/body heat

seeks varying width aura/body heat

As someone who strives to be Introverted Interiorist combo'd with IE, I choose to limit my sharing of mitochondria, and I know I definitely don't like others to share their mitochondria with me. The main point, though, is to chose for self and know the style you desire. According to my perspective, we have never been run by ourselves yet, we are still on the way, should we choose such endeavors. Knowing about these body styles might not only help you navigate and make choices for yourself, but also understand the personality of others.  But always check what you are doing before you judge the behavior of others.  Remember laws when comporting self in these epigenetic choices and when creating expectations of others. 

If you want to determine which style you are, you might want to 'electrical ground', or connect self's energy with self, and 'hold tight to self', or draw in to self your own energy emanations. In this stilled state, assess the energies you possess and evaluate how you want to run yourself in the moment and overall. To electrical ground and hold tight to self frequently is beneficial: you may like to do it all the time and set your dna to please you.

No Race Day 2018

Impossible to stand against it:

We all grow that feeling of race.

Friendships and cohorts,

people passing that get the glint.

Even if we don't intend to do it

we give in as if it were fate.

Remembering ourselves

in the context of our heroes,

we cling to personal myth by

clinging to social construct.

It's memory and desire:

it's okay to relate.


But deep within:

November hints:

be as one, none else recalls

the difference is of magnitude,

the uniqueness no one else

can select. Separate but equal

is a fantasy, but together we stand

each giving our own personal best.

A contemporary note:

As we learn about lineage and DNA background we feel our ancestral energy.   Some of us feel like we have black ancestors, or wanted some, and we feel that black is beautiful.  Because of my need to express myself, I cannot say that black-face is disrespectful, it is more like pastiche, honorific mimic.  I do not feel responsible for insulting expressions of the past, which they were not all.  I feel like to 'make-up what I love' is right for me.   It's time, for me, to turn the 'racist' page, stop seeing 'no color', stop assuming things about people's knowledge base, and start being race revelatory, delighted.  We must realize that all expressions have an element of appropriation, and it is not a problem to relate to culture(s) in a joyful way.  No Race Day is November 7, 2018, the first Wednesday of the month, to celebrate non-identification with group and empower us to love our individual irreplaceable uniqueness.   This day in history never came before.

November 1, 2018 Vegan Day

I am a speciesist.


I am prejudiced for the animal body.
I am biased by the age of the child.
I am tired of the exploitation with sex,
conflated with youth and captivity.

The reputation of a perfect stake/steak
makes me hunger for a better plate.


For fourteen years I have resolved
to crave the vegetal path.


Patting the Earth's dirt to grow a vegetable;
sprouting a bean from scratch:
I don't seem to mind when plants hatch.
It's a different process in every case.


Trafficking farm life is a war on animals.
Compulsive domination through reproduction
rather than childhood must conclude.


No more afraid of the beak and the hoof
lets embrace our fellow animals with
trust and grace, let them obey the law
for their, and our own, sake.
Age of consent should be 18 years old.

costumes and personal representation
1. why is the costume/persona interesting?  is it appreciation or appropriation?  is it fantasy or frightful?  were real people inspired or scared by its origin?  can anyone say for another?
2. left seem to think fiction, to a sane mind, doesn't negatively invest; freedom of press/1st amendment.  right seem to think weapons, to a sane mind, doesn't negatively invest; freedom to bear arms/2nd amendment.
3. self defense is not meant to be physical if the offense is not.  freedom to express oneself is safe.  cautions must always be taken to protect one's own psyche and especially the psyche of children and animals.
4. what something means to someone, might not/is not externally duplicate.  no one has anyone else's experiences.
5. false or real, we, as a culture, must be more concerned about why we do things.

September 23

Autumnal Equinox,
falling through space
tethered to Solar System,
making our way
toward another season.
Shorter days, longer nights,
but daily we hope for more.
We clean our atmosphere
with wishes for forgiveness,
aura caught but noticed: new.
The traveled path, genuine,
the attitude, negotiable.
Fall into your own best
judgment, reality is
shaped by each choice.
Thoughts and emotions
are habituated patterns
of time's achievement.
What will be our whether?

Body heat/aura is coming off everything all the time.  One has to decide what to do with it and organize it according to one's ethics.  I recommend always keeping it off others' belongings and persons.  Really the more one can streamline energy between self and ancestor, the better.

It occurs to me that while I have written about keeping aura clean of others, I barely ever have written about reigning in energy from self.  "Commandeering your own voice" March 1, 2012 is a good beginning as is "HUMAN METABOLISM MAP" July 14, 2015, and "Chumline" September 1, 2017.  Body heat is constantly coming out, it needs to be corralled and streamed to ancestors to provide them with nourishments and delights.  Your attitude needs to be in shape: your ethics in the modern day will appeal to ancestors when you explain to them why you are the way you are, and you should give them reasons and examples of your goodness in your prayers.  Actually be good. 

Noticing your thoughts is key to managing your body.  Moreover: noticing what is an authentic thought and what is an environmental thought is important... I have learned to asked of myself "is that my dna?" if the answer is "no", I have learned to treat the sounds as environmental and tune it out or endeavor to figure out what the message is, and if it is for me.

infinity infinity

nitrogenic protein play

of paths that never ends.

infinity infinity

blown open for the peitry

in a pretty assay display.

infinity infinity

swerving in a helix

for the eye to navigate.

infinity infinity

just like the time and space

unfolding with beautiful grace.

infinity infinity

created from the dynamic

lingo that my figure ate.

I wrote this on a broadsheet prior to 2002, it is now in my 2014 book Nest. I was thinking at the time about chemicals and the shape they reveal about themselves. I determined that nitrogen can form a figure eight, like an infinity sign. I was also wondering about food and animal care in the farm environment. Fourteen years ago I became a vegan and have been so happy about the decision since. I also think about nitrogen's ability to help us heal, and often when I see something broken, or in need of mending, I suggest a “nitrogen net” to hold together a cast limb or tear. Veganism is healing, too, in that removing the burden of breeding children and what those ingested hormones do to change the way the body knows itself.

June 21

I.
June twenty-first
Environment comes first.
Warm summer days and nights,
if only we'd build the infrastructure
we need to meet all of our needs.
Sufficient rain to run the bath,
water the farms, nourish for health.
II.
Summertime, summertime
delicious retreat
Warms days and nights
is the hot and cold balance right?
Mild weather, not too much to ask?.
It took me as long to evolve
to take it, as it took to
evolve to make it.
But pray, plead, wish for
days of comfortable temperature.
III.
I like the seasons, but I like them to be
manageable.
Didn't we, as our ancestors, chant and dance
for specific results each day, month and year.
Celebrations to confirm our happiness
and concerns with the many aspects of weather.
Agreeing together on whatever we wanted
for the grasses and snows and rivers and ice floes,
agreeing toward flowers and fields and animals.
It heals.
It heals to agree and it heals to conserve.
Make our minds one with concepts of
temperature mirth. 


                            Also:  Today I saw the Earth smiling at me from the drain when I used Dr. Bronner's Baby Unscented Organic Sugar Soap on the kitchen dishes.  Days before, I was asked to try to avoid detergent on those things with food on them, the Earth said, 'do you put a little detergent on things you eat?'  I understood something.  I said, 'would you rather have unscented?'  The answer was 'yes'.
