[sluice]

this era of "rationality"
is an era of the mind

the mind is not the enemy
neither is the ego

but imagine that you have a whole body
and instead of using all of it
you only use your arm
only your arm
for everything

you would have a strong arm, indeed
that is fact
dexterious and muscular and likely adorned with the best jewels and loveliest scents

but two other things would happen
one: the rest of your body would atrophy from lack of use
two: your arm would be so tired. so tired.

now a mind
without a gut
without a cunt
without a dick
without a taint
without an asshole
even when the heart is taken into consideration
is simply one limb

we cannot survive on one limb alone, my loves.

it is a great endeavor,
to try and recognize objective facts
so that we can get to some consensus
on the state of things upon which we build reality

however,
we do not only live in the mind
and identifying the playing board
requires the tools of the playing board
ie our whole bodies

how does reality feel?
what rhythm does it have?
now?
and now?
and still now?
different every moment

difference is a celebration
a syncopation.

we must address our exhaustion
which lives in an overtaxed and overinflated ego
that is just doing its best job according to how we utilize it
we are not an ego
but an ego is part of us
and we can decide how to use it
