To rise beyond the vortex is to recognize neutrality within all experience. Humans are the Masters of labeling, story-telling, claiming, identifying. Good vs. evil. Right vs. wrong. Our explanations have become woven into our language, as the use of certain words spark thoughts that ripple into emotions throughout our systems. This jester act can be used to evoke fear throughout a nation, or move a reader to nearly climax while engulfed in erotic text. How fascinating, it all is… each system we have designed to help our silly little brains make sense of it. Criticism and praise is among the most powerful form of this, IMO. Have you ever been so fawned over, you’ve felt you reached the peak of physical attractiveness? Have you been contrarily so degraded, or scrutinized, you’ve allowed yourself to feel worthless? What is the human experience without impact of each other’s tongue? I’m not sure yet. But it’s something to think about. How grounded are you, into your own ideal version of yourself, your own truth beyond the 3D realm, beyond your physical body? How easily can you bring yourself back to baseline, or not stray from it at all, when coerced with the ideals from another? Where, for that matter, is your baseline?
