Observe and Report

Leave a reply

A few years back, a movie, Observe and Report, starring Seth Rogen, was released and for whatever reason, I totally vibed on it.  Observe and Report has to be one of the oddest movies that I have seen, like a dark Napoleon Dynamite, but I think I finally figured out why I liked it…

I liked the title.  Plain and simple, it spoke to me, maybe it’s commanded me.  As I go through life and observe all around, see the giant, ever unfolding, walking meditation at play, I can’t help but report.  I suppose because it seems so many of us want to relate to what is going on and find the meaning.  And regardless of anyone else, it is who I am.

I’ve always seen the meaning, sometimes after the fact, sometimes I denied it, but I always saw meaning in what I experienced.  One of the most common things I get from people is: wow, I thought I was a deep thinker, but you take it further.  I do this, in that I tend to present things in a way that people haven’t thought before, not necessarily that I’m uncovering anything new but I feel like my role is to share and why not.

The Buddha said that there can be a life without suffering and still filled with pain.  I have felt angry, sad, rage, jaded many times in recent weeks.  But I don’t suffer because of it.  I watch it.  I see each seated at the same table with Love, Joy, etc. and I enjoy it all.  I enjoy each experience because it is teaching me so much each day, sometimes many points of expansion throughout.  It is so odd for me to report that I observe each feeling as I go through it because I used to hate feeling.  Today I feel okay about that.  I feel okay feeling what I do because I am able to observe it.

Thank you for the opportunity to Observe and Report regarding this beautiful mess of a messy beauty.

Rage

rage is real
so real, so real, so real
it just wants to be acknowledged
just like Love, just like every other feeling

Rage is just as valid…

Ignoring any feeling is an injustice to the human experience, it is what the Soul wanted in the first place.

Rage is real. It is okay. I enjoy rage. I like that I can feel this and understand where it comes from, why it is, it is my feeling.  I own it.  I don’t understand.  I don’t understand life or people outside of what I understand in myself.  And that changes as I change, it gets deeper and more complex, it  ends up simple.  It sucks.  It is amazing.

Life is a buffet of options and today I dine on rage.  I see why you are on the menu.  I’m okay with that.  Knowing what you taste like fully will allow me to make another choice on the menu should I choose.  Or I could choose you.  One thing I know, no one else puts you on my plate.  I put you on my plate.

Masculinism Part One

Leave a reply

There is a need for a masculinism. Why you may ask? Because this disconnected “man’s world” is out of touch with what it really means to be a man.

In the predominantly, alpha male/machismo culture that exists today, men snuff out any type of feeling and sensitivity, unless it’s anger. We’re quite efficient at anger. What happens when someone (this goes for you too ladies) suppresses feelings, it manifests in many ways until it is addressed.

At first, it could come in a dream. A man may find himself dressed as a woman in a dream. The average alpha wannabe will freak out and as a result feel a sense that his masculinity is challenged. This is not the case. Most likely the feminine energy of that man asking to be acknowledged and the subsequent over-compensation of running to the gym or trying to sleep with someone could be avoided.

What follows if this goes on, will be an outburst that is probably very extreme (think going postal…). If a feeling is suppressed and not acknowledged, the Universe in conjunction with the sub-conscious finds a way to bring this to light.

If this goes one over time, illness and dis-ease takes hold in the body. Modern western medicine has created drugs that will suppress emotion and feeling further but then the body becomes weighed down, either through weight gain and/or decay of the organs and system.

It’s no wonder that stress is amongst the leading causes of death. In fact the three leading causes of death in America, heart disease, obesity, and stress are all linked to the suppression of our feelings.

It’s okay to feel guys. It’s necessary to feel if the world is to evolve to its next phase.

To be continued…
