Unterhosen

My, how often “Eastern” spiritual traditions, especially pseudo-Eastern philosophies, the New Age, guru isms, et al, etc, will devolve into the same trimmed-down/rounded-off/ironed-out/tidied-up streamlined occult mediocrity that Western “perfectionism” already does so well as its inverse… (not to menschen our esteemed dogmatic cults of Science™️ who knee-jerk deny anything they can’t measure, including discrete corporate investments apparently)?

Left and/or Right brain atrophy mindrot.

Or is this too hard to read…?  Nox-vomica, paralytic poisons mistaken for religious catharsis, rapture, and absolution on the one hand; and permission to do anything on the other.  Activism, manifest destiny, the left hand path…  The double-edged crypt ick meaning of “Do as thou wilt.”  You’re drooping, dears, curling up, your color is draining, Darling, where ist thou nourishment?

Thine blossoms make not for verdant seeds.

God forbid we actually pay attention to cause and effect, conscience, and consequence.  Unite the two schisming hemispheres?  x o x o

It’s not that I can’t choose a side, It’s that I choose both and neither depending upon whom you ask.

Duality and non-duality;
black AND white. Imagine.
Yin/and/yang.  Enigami.
The blackened caucasity
of my blue/red veins?
Mountain-stained
Sun-bleached memories
Ashen embered soot of a muddy cave
Remains of the day’s night’s end…
Twilight’s fading diffuse / / /
Fuses fused in confusion \\\
((( Defused |. |. |. )))
The tan skin underneath
Your mercurial formalities,
chromium-tanned in
Formaldehyde, Hydes
What it belies.

Or is this too heart 2 read…? 💖✨

It’s funny how many an aspiring “ubermensch” is merely a Statist minimensh.  Little Member.  How’s that for untermenschen, Sir, der laissez-faire letzte Mensch?  Der Einheits-Übermensch.  Der Herden-Übermensch.  Der Vorschrifts-Übermensch.  Der Schein-Übermensch.  Der Befehlsempfänger.  Der Radfahrer.

(Sorry I developed an unfortunate historical aversion to the German language post-Nietzsche, for more or less obvious reasons, but it makes great-sounding verbal insults and Gem helped me brainstorm some extra gutteral vitriol.)

P.S.  Do note, that, because “ubermensch” means beyond-man it’s very fitting for both the passive and active variants.  Also, by the way, national socialism has actually had a very strong influence over both the new age and “science.”  Look up Savitri Devi and Asit Krishna Mukherji, or the number of modern chemical/pharma companies who were directly involved in the holocaust…  Fun fact(ions).
