winning nov. 17 2012
everyone loves being on the winning team...DYNAMICS : fallen creature , grasping for : 1-sex , 2-money , 3-power...befriending those who we feel will aid us on our journey , we leave behind the others , usually while wearing a disguise of "righteousness" as we do it...then comes the bastardization of the poor fuckers...eventually we forget about them and move on...ON A ROAD THAT OFFERS SWEET FUCK ALL...as pursuing the life of self will never get you anywhere , no matter how good it may appear !!!

a thirteen year old boy
a thirteen year old boy , back in 1980 or so , said to me...and i quote : "my mother doesn't realize that love is not like a pie...there aren't six pieces and then it's gone"...now you tell me this...how could a 13 year old kid know so much...and the average adult know so little ???

we all have some area in our heart that has been damaged for life...and it is only in the confines of a loving community that this hurt can be compensated for...POINT : it is not so much the resolution of our issue that should be our concerned...it should be accepted , embraced and never be able to slip into the realm of our subconscious mind...HOWEVER...in regards to community...for giving us the strength we need for dealing with our wound...how do we make it happen ??? and all that can be said here is...in good time...love will attract love...but be on the look out...my suspicion is...real love...very seldom is seen for what it is !!!

dr. goose
timmy : dr. goose , what is this world coming to ???
dr. goose : i don't know , timmy...last night i was walking
home from tuesday night sunday school and someone
pulled out a gun and asked me for my money
dr. goose : i told him that i would give him some money
if he would let me see his bird
dr. goose : at this point , the dumb fuck proceeded to swear at me
dr. goose : so i picked up a rock and smashed his head open
with it
timmy : that's just terrible , dr. goose
dr. goose : if you mean by terrible , the size of his cock...
you are absolutely right

true romance
the fact of the matter is...you have just about two years (maximum)
after you "fall in love" for the relationship to be developed and
cultivated to the point of maturity...if this has not happened by this
time...the emotion of "love" will have worn off...leaving you with a
hollow an empty shadow of a romantic relationship...roughly
translated...you have to employ healthy and strategic weapons to
cultivate the relationship into a healthy and strategic
direction...these are : community...(love as an island onto itself will
grow stagnant like a swamp with no rivers leading to it).../
transparency...(secrets in intimacy...are cancer).../ giving...(only as
we give do we truly receive) / forgiveness / and
...faithfulness...everyone thinks they are exceptions to this
dynamic...they are not .

the mind...
a thousand things right and one thing wrong...and a particular individual will only see the wrong...then there is the other fucker...a thousand things wrong and one thing right...and all that is seen is the right...and this , my dear puppy-cat...is essentially how the average person can justify anything...the mind is a tricky little fucker !!!

people in this world
there are two types of people in this world...the kind that pursue
love...and , as a result...have the door to a billion unanswered questions opened right in front of them...(these people are very rare )...and the kind who find
their own desires paramount...they become pawns and slaves to powers they do not comprehend...and their purpose is
to inadvertently live out gods will in spite of who and what they have become ...ironic , is it not ??? in loving
god we find ourselves...emotionally , spiritually and
geographically...in wanting our own way...our personhood fades...and
our lives become much similar to that of the gentlemen on star
trek...who are simply there to allow kirk , spock and company to reach
their "human" potential...it is all very simple , actually..."he who finds his soul will lose it...he who loses it...will find it".

belief system
origin of religions :
1-god speaks
2-someone listens
3-they interpret through their own limited understanding
4-write it down
5-other people interpret as meaning is slowly lost
religion is more about mans understanding of god than it is god...religion is cursed : man contrived / saturated with a law that ruins the human heart / self righteous ( 10% of the o.t.is "god" telling the jewish nation to exterminate those of any other different religion)
love is the opposite of religion...yet love "reveals all things"...which makes it dangerous...it is easy to hide behind religion

beliefs
most of what people believe...simply is not true :
1-a belief
2-because of : upbringing...pleasure...society
3-never questioned
4-defended
5-effects the universe...others pay
how do we find truth???
1-every situation is either an opportunity to learn or justify
2-walk in humility
3-truth is congruent with love
4-prepare to suffer
5-laziness is your enemy
6-find intimate community
7-love everything...desire nothing
never believe that truth can be separated from love

intimacy / no fear
there are various ways people "achieve" intimacy : rituals / not
caring...(nothing to lose if you don't give) / co-dependence / mistaking
sex for intimacy / true intimacy...OF COURSE , only one of these
actually works...the others will eventually all fall apart...make no
mistake...what we do...what we achieve...social status...our
abilities...all of these things can actually get in the way of true
intimacy...intimacy is fearlessly disclosing your true identity to
another...and if your identity is pathetic...then i understand why
intimacy is avoided...point : you can only give what you have...so make
sure what you have is...beautiful !!!

the wind dec. 15 2012
the average person goes where they desire to go...being driven by : lust / lack of commitment toward another / a better deal / boardom...the bottom line is that there is only one thing that should take us to our destinations in life : THE WIND...roughly translated...a DIVINE pull that leads us to where we should be...making our circular trip across our own little universe...into a supernatural journey...indeed...we find our reasons to abandon each other...making ourselves never at fault...then we continue...with even a lesser understanding of what love is all about...HOWEVER...life can be so much richer than this !!!

perspective is everything
..so this fellow walked up to me recently and said..."you are the
biggest ass hole i know"...i replied..."whatever i do...i try to do to
the best of my ability"...point...perspective is everything...and not only that...it is the condition of our heart that defines the situation...a man living in a shack...in tune with the divine...in tune with love...has a far more rich life than an your average individual who lives i a castle .

extrapulation
someone does something you don't like...response : anger / fear / self
righteous judgment...non of which place you in a position of learning
something...how should we respond??? an event : we process...(grief /
anger / etc.) we pray...(forgiveness / allowing light to enter / we
settle)...we learn...we extrapolate...most only learn that they don't
like a particular event...it takes real insight...in love
and humility...to turn something into a real learning experience...love
sees all things...love protects you from going around the same circle
again and again...live luv .

eye of the needle part 2
love is a very small fraction of what is going on in human
relationships...exchange is more than 99%...that is to say..."i give you
what you want...you give me what i want"...and this is why
prostitution is so looked down upon...it is an honest ,
transparent...representation how people conduct their daily lives...oh ,
yes...we like to pretend there is integrity and other such things
involved...but the hard cold fact of the matter is that people simply
want what they want...and spend a life time of learning how to get it .
...and one more thing...family does not count...we are biologically predisposed to take care of our families...and anyone who does not...generally speaking...is a monster .
point...in love...all things become real...in love...all things are exposed...and you will know if another is truly pursuing love...that is to say...their whole body , mind and soul...will reek of its desire to obtain just a little bit of the divine .

evil and redemption
a child is abused by an evil mother...for the rest of his life he is
attracted to evil women for the purpose of making a feeble attempt to
resolve his inner conflict...result...he thinks the world is completely
evil...how could he not ???
dynamics :
1-hurt
2-people become metaphors...to meet needs
3-become angry...(not working out)
4-suspicious of wrong people
5-suspicious of everyone else
6-in darkness...so cannot see a thing...being paranoid is not being wise
7-fold
...the cure is not complete resolution...you are who you are...the cure is becoming aware of who you are and responding accordingly
dynamics :
1-hurt
2-people become metaphors
3-become humble / aware / repentant / forgiving
4-attracted to same type of people...
5-but this time they are on a path of healing
6-god guiles
7-become human...embrace who you are

motivation
"why" is usually more important than "what"
becoming purely motivated
1-want to do something
2-met with love...prayer...suffering
3-is it still there?
4-an action happens
5-results are evaluated
paradox...good motivations not only justify actions...but they also change them
bad motivations:
1-want to do something
2-met with selfishness...arrogance...pride
3-usually still there
4-action happens
5-justified
love makes all the difference in the world

funerals and regrets november 24 2012
mourning can be sadness and the sincere loss of a loved one...but most of the time..these are just qualities intertwined with a deep longing and regret for the way things should have been...but were not...that is to say...we take our...fears...conventions...secrets...ill feelings...and lack of resolution into our relationships...never really attempt to do anything about them...and wonder why there are 15 walls to every one bridge...and wonder why we fall apart at the end of their life...INDEED..there are far healthier things to take into a relationship...like...transparency...boldness...freedom...and a desire to resolve personal hurt...(effecting ourselves and all around us)...IN THE END...the more we love...the less we regret...and the more a departure of a loved one...can be a celebration of a life well lived .

a brief look at community development...scroll down to the beginning
-
Flarmology 2 years ago
5-be a warrior...no retreat no surrender...live love...even if it kills you...and it will. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
2-let go of your idea of a destination...love will take it...wherever it so desires. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
5-allows for secret lives...deceit is within the fabric of generic community...for example...if you think all the sexual abuse in the catholic church has been exposed...you are sadly mistaken...generic is built to marry itself with such behavior. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
4-no responsibility...organic essentially subscribes to the dynamic : "greater love has no man than this...that he gives his life for his brother"...generic community only gives this superficial "lip service". -
Flarmology 2 years ago
3-will fit in this social structure...love is vary rare...and makes people uncomfortable...our society hinges on exchange with each other. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
2-allows one to avoid intimacy...formulas just dont allow for real communication. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
1-it is easy...make a plan...(appeal to a certain demographic and such)...then proceed. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
organic has a life span...lives and dies like a human...generic can last forever , as there is no real life to begin with. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
organic is aware of fear...and what fear can potentially do to the community...generic obeys fear...uses it as an excuse to facilitate patterns and behaviors. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
organic is real...things are seen for what they are...generic perpetuates behaviors to hide behind. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
organic community loves the people involved...generic uses them for its advantage...how they are treated is relative to the purpose and goals. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
organic community has spiritual dynamics to drive it in a particular direction...finding "success" along the way...generic has success as a goal. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
leadership embraces the gifts of those in the community...they are encouraged and allowed to grow. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
leadership is transparent...no secrets in real community...secrets grow and become something very dangerous. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
leadership has no agenda...an agenda is a finite idea and will decay and rot...no matter how good it seems...all is done by spiritual direction...love rules. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
leadership is virtually invisible...there is no control...just watching eyes that are ready to deal with a volatile situation inconspicuously as possible. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
leadership "shoots for the stars and hits the moon"...that is to say...love has consumed the life of the leader...love is imparted and partially understood...bit by bit. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
if community does not appear to be insane...it probably is not real...the power that develops community is so much more brilliant than ourselves...we simply cannot understand it...the direction it leads us...the same. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
(i will suggest you now look at my page..."speak your mind"...there you will eventually find some of my stories of living a life that is either a complete miracle...or makes me the biggest bullshitter in the world...that is...the art of letting go...will take you into uncharted waters). -
Flarmology 2 years ago
at this point...may i introduce to you...god...no matter what you refer to it as...there is a power that takes life in a particular direction...most fight against it...to build community...you must take off all your clothes...(pride and ambition)...dive in the river...and let it take you wherever in the hell it wants...resistance will be successful...that is...you will be screwed...give into love...do not look back. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
a community will reflect the leadership...if you are a miserable bastard...the community will go down that path...roughly translated...you must die to self...you must die to your preconceived notion of what the community should be like...and the desire to control must be replaced with the compassion of protecting those around you at any cost. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
so far...i have hopefully established that people love to control more than they love to love...left at this point...all is lost...however...now begins the journey...forsaking the counterfeit of love...control...and replacing it with the real thing. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
3-power...the most powerful leadership...is the leadership that can make the community essentially...powerless...great leadership can take away the power struggle...hence...allow room for love to flourish...to have power and use it to resolve power struggle is true leadership -
Flarmology 2 years ago
2-money...the best way to form community is to reduce the financial aspect to its minimum...money will quickly smother the love dynamic...deceit and such will quickly enter the picture. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
1-sex...with love...develops ones personhood...without love...is just another form of getting ones way...hence...there is manipulation. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
human nature without the inspiration of love...is driven by control and manipulation...there are three dynamics behind this : -
Flarmology 2 years ago
5-western mindset-everything must appear sterile and pleasant...community is messy and uneven as it develops. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
4-pride-to be open to real community is to humble oneself...to place others in front of you and your needs. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
3-power-we see it as a defining characteristic...to have power over others makes us feel superior...(in reality...it simply makes us savages). -
Flarmology 2 years ago
2-laziness...to learn love is to sacrifice all that we are...hence...we believe that there must be an easier way. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
1-fear-to have no control over a situation is to have no power...though power is only an illusion anyway. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
recently...i heard a story of how a cat killed a crow and made his way back inside his house...next day...when he was let outside...there were 30 crows waiting to pounce...violence aside...this is a clear example of organic community. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
so...this company hired a community development specialist to put on a weekend retreat and figure out who was the "shit disturber"...sure enough...half way through ..."problem child"...blew up all over the place and the "cat was out of the bag"...problem solved , eh??? nope...the issue is...only the symptom had been dealt with...why someone got into position to usurp the company was still a mystery...there is a difference between looking smart and truly directing others into health. -
Flarmology 2 years ago
i have had the opportunity to spend time with some of the most esteemed community builders in the world...and they all had one thing in common...they didnt know what they were doing...sure...learning how to manipulate and control people can be made into quite the art form...but it is not community...and when truth rears its ugly head...things will indeed fall apart...the ingredients to real community are transparency...pain...humility...selflessness and passion...it is a long , ugly journey...and if someone tells you different...they are wrong.
