ORGANELLE

∞ “No one knows what creatures are or do. No one. They are not matters of convenience for ‘the verbal mind’ which is not in touch with living reality at all. It is relatively difficult for people to simply realize that the reason we are alive — and intelligent — is because the context is. The part of us that would ‘edit’ this for comfort, safety and convenience is not intelligent. It is dissociated.”

∞ “If they had any idea what it was this word ‘imagination’ refers to, they would be able to accomplish miracles beyond the scope of the sum of their fictions. Unfortunately, they think it means ‘making stuff up’ and that it is a‘skill’ which belongs to each person. It’s amazing to realize that this trap is a function of their imagination acting upon their imagination. I suppose that if one misinterprets what you interpret with, it locks you down like any other dangerous inmate. To put it bluntly, if you treat your intelligent wings like an object possession, they become a cage.”

∞ “Most of what we presently experience, emit, expect and refer to as language is, approximately, the desiccated remains of an Urspracht — a universal «nature in speaking that was fundamentally emotional, prepoetic, spiritual, ecological, and absolutely sincere. We can still hear its echoes in the speech and prosody of young children, but more, in the concerns that motivate them when they challenge the ubiquitous cruelty, insanity, and ‘courtroom-like’ absurdity of modern ‘adults’ and their self-counterfeiting ‘cultures’.”

∞ Let us be, then, as flowers… blossoming unexpectedly in each other’s secret hearts and lives.

“The children undergo a traumatic process in consciousness, where their natural attempt to experience and maintain coherent unity in awareness, an attempt enhanced by ‘play’, slowly undergoes fragmentation at the insistence of adults around them, language itself… and the bizarre tendency of modern humans to privilege »commodities over »relationships.”

“I feel that I have gone from living my life … into an attempt to survive it … or even hide from it.”

“Imagine all the music you’ve ever heard … as a single object.

A sphere, perhaps. With many branches in it. The tip of any branch, at the edge of the sphere, is the musical experience you had.

Some ‘songs’ you’ve heard many times. Other events only occur once in your lifetime. But think of it as one body. All those experiences.

Then transfer this perspective to life on Earth. One organism, many instances and forms. Use the same toy to imagine anything. Souls. Humans. One human first. The seeming of ‘many’ is … partly deceptive.

Keep going.”

∞ “Imagine that timespace is a kind of cone. You’re the point, and your mind is your relation with this cone. So, too, each other organism and unity of organisms. The same is true of anything at all. Your mind is the point at the cone of the unimaginably complex relationships and organisms that comprise your body. But this point has senses. Far more than 5; indeed, more than 50. The point is this: that cone? It’s the body you are instanced from, moment-to-moment, and should you actually realize and recognize this, while conscious, the results will far exceed those of your wildest dreams, imaginings, hopes and fictions. The stories you have been sold are dead wrong. They are not one feather on the wing of the birds you are and may become… if you can remember. Especially, together.”

∞ “In modern contexts, ‘convenience’ is generally accompanied by relational and opportunistic amputation. The ‘convenience’ of electronic social and commercial behavior translates directly into lethal invasions into our privacy and identity. Deliveries encourage us ‘to shelter in place’, depriving us of experiences and opportunities that cannot occur indoors… many people who are entirely physically healthy now rarely or nearly never leave their homes.

Email obliterated relationships that texting ensured would never arise in the first place, and texting is damaging our minds and relationships by depriving us of the crucially nourishing exposure to the music of human voices. Even our phones digitize and distort our speech in ways their analog ancestors couldn’t while our cars deliver routes that we no longer understand or relate to because we are no longer navigating — and this is a metaphor for our culture… our capacity to forge our own relationships, routes and preferences has been disabled.

So the next time you hear about a new ‘convenience’, think three times about what gets sacrificed, killed, or amputated to produce this illusion.”
