2 dreams and a dialectical 

2 dreams and a dialectical

1) some new-agey woman is "scanning chakras" and tells me my solar plexus one is "enshadowed or enshrouded". "a lot of times people assume this means they are dying, like cancer or something. but in this case it's some roles you are abandoning or need to abandon."

2) i am on the shore of a body of water, and in the water i can see african animals. there are people on a boat, including children, a few hundred yards off the shore. a hyena swims up to the boat and begins eating them. the hyena gulps whole parts down such that he can barely move from being glutted. i don't understand why the people don't kill him. it would be a simple matter to clobber him with an oar--

went to a Hollis lecture the other night about the Psyche and the Story. lots of complexities-- it was a gourmet casserole of a talk-- but the bottom line is we are all in service to stories we didn't create most of the time, and even those we helped weave are usually unconscious and just repetition and conflict avoiding. the unconscious gets a little peeved we don't pay her any mind, and throws these little pebbles in our shoe and boulders in our path.

we are more than a body but our body is necessary for our work. we are more than our thoughts with all their yakketyyakkety but we need them as this is the best representation we can get for what Is. we are more than our behaviors which repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat and sometimes in their repetition remind us who we are.
