Each dancer making their own praise dance - it's going to take a lot of practice before we are all whole and wholly able to reveal the natural state the modern species tries so hard to deny.
before we are ALL...able?....
oh! like James, you want EVERYONE to change, and until and unless it reaches a big number our being pretty won't matter to you.
maybe it's just because i'm used to odd little groups of people, but i don't think it works that way regarding what we're doing. i think we'll remain a small loose network/syndicate of unusual people doing unusual things. i don't think we're gonna hit like Elvis, nor do we want to in this current fickle disposable world. that means we'd be short-lived wasted fashionable transient trash.
i'd prefer to think we'll be consistently/fervently muddling along on the sidelines in the woods in the underground or on the fringes.
the fringes Papa G spoke of, who bring forward what was odd and make it bigger. more acceptable.
but fringes and edges... like artists and thinkers tend to./and that'd be... well, you won't even notice Normal People if it's any good.
i never did even though i've lived and gone to high school in suburban cherry hill new jersey, until san francisco got gentrified no--RAVAGED by unhappy tech people.
so i wouldn't wait on a tipping point or some kind of mass adoption. nah. you don't want that, anyhow. i've always been part of some odd group who's doing its own thing and i'm fine if most of the world is into adult coloring books regarding art.
this is where i agree with some of Papa G's more extreme and dire prophecies or visions: i'm afraid my beliefs are that a lot of people are NOT going to make it through all this into the future, but those that do will be able to build off the benefits of what we're thinking up discussing trying and doing now and WILL do, and they can either reject or refine or come up with something new altogether. they'll be ready.
as a colored girl taught to be about The Struggle, i was raised, ever since i can remember, raised for a LONG multi-generational fight. the middle passage was hundreds of years ago and Puerto Rico and the islands in the Caribbean were on the way here to Turtle Island... i just didn't think all the others would sell out so fast or easily or that it was all talk for THEM. i believed. (re KPOO for example)
i'm not worrying about the far future, though. i'm at: WHAT NEXT????
BUT most importantly: never ever make the mistake that "pitching" or "selling" is Old World advertisey talk. everything is a con(vincing) game. even and especially when you think it's not.
every book even Papa G's work is all pitch: what of another reality? would you cling to THIS one if you knew you could... if you knew there was a world outside this cage?
each generation gets degraded memories as they struggle to fit in and assimilate. there are few parents who NEVER FORGET. you don't need everyone.
everyone's selling pitching seducing with a vision an idea a story a future a way a mood a reaction. if you don't want anything you cannot be pitched sold to cajoled or convinced. that's why i don't feel sorry for many folks being scammed. most scammers appeal to the ego and fantasies and how everyone wants to be liked and FEEL GOOD. that's why some who're scammed forgive. they got what they wanted because they couldn't get it elsewhere.
just passing a table of laughing joyous people can sell you on a way a ...
well, back to that brown fizzy water.
i also think you pitch an idea by how you LIVE love and all that greeting card crap. that's where we're spellbindingly transcendentally stunning!
as for "long-winded" own the page when you're lost. you cannot hope to be neat clean and tidy when you're screaming in the middle of a global existential crisis.
if you must, you can apologize later when we've all taken showers.
but in a world with no god anymore, people like that dad who was yelling at the disney movie ending, they're DESPERATE to be pitched to by hucksters. this is where the likes of Jim Jones can appeal to disheartened people (many poor blacks who were in despair from the '60s).
i think this is why we're also in trouble. people hate their emotions. they think having them, it is like soiling oneself to FEEL. and they are completely RULED by these ignored emotions. they are faking the logic thing. everyone pretty much is at this point.
