Jackie Wilson ‘Higher and Higher’
This is a gathering of Lovers.
In this gathering
there is no high, no low,
no smart, no ignorant,
no special assembly,
no grand discourse,
no proper schooling required.
There is no master,
no disciple.
This gathering is more like a drunken party,
full of tricksters, fools,
mad men…[Read more] -

Are uncorrupted people interested in sinister things? Since most people are interested in “sinister” things [Are hero/villain tales told for the voice of the good or the bad? Look at how much time is spent on demons vs. angels in Hieronymus Bosch’s visions of heaven and hell…], I found it admirable that you were uncomplicatedly frank.

It treats the creation like sacrificial straw-dogs.

What concerns me, too, are the unconscious shadow projections involved. There is a possibility, too, that people may become dangerous enough to be around that one must leave for one’s own safety.
I think that this is a good answer. You see the difficulty/difficulties? Sam Keith wrote Zero Girl to explore a lot of interesting dynamics such…[Read more]

HOWDY: Actually the most immediate problem is that persons who are representing themselves as renunciates are not at all that.
*Likewise, I get tired of being patronized.
People talk about “killing” their feelings, sexual or otherwise, for instance, which seems to be an obvious metaphor for suppression. Thus, when you suggested that…[Read more]

I’m not judging your behavior. Also, you haven’t talked about itin the context of HOWDY’s original topic, which I thought relevant to various other postings lately and to my own life, lately. You don’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, imho…

Steven, I thought you weren’t fond of ad hominem arguments. I’m interested in your experiences and wisdom. It’s a little boring when one likes to discuss other’s issues and not their own. I explained months ago that I have anger. What does that have to do with my question? Feel free to email me at Zighamilton@gmail.com if you’d like to…[Read more]

The life-force always gets its way, huh? Can you give me examples of times when your unnatural behavior caused you to realize that you had fucked up, and so on?

How could I love my fellow men who tortured me?
One night I was dragged into a room
and beaten near death with their shoes
striking me hundreds of times
in the face, scarring me
forever.
I cried out for God for help, until I fainted.
That night in a dream, in a dream more real than this world.
a strap from the Christs…[Read more]

Only for this, HOWDY, will I bow to the Buddha:
…when you suppress what is natural, the unnatural emerges…
Personally I must admit that I’m interested about many sinister things, but there are in the end many limits.

Please don’t judge either my pain or how deeply that I may need to feel it. Thanks for responding in helpful ways, along this road. Truthfully, I’ve been a mouse wanting to impregnate a tiger not even in heat, to use the words of “Hafiz” channeled by Daniel Ladinsky….
