It seems that what characterizes our particular society can be seen in the obsession with dividing things. Devision is a natural part of creation and life, such as cells dividing by creating new membranes.
Part of what we look for are imbalances.
If there is an imbalance proportion of something, such as with obsession, it can cause one’s sight to be veiled by the mental infrastructure that is created by the obsession. There are always billions of different ways that any one thing can be interpreted. The art is to have vision and consciousness of all realms. It is so much closer to where we already are than most people think. The fact is, that along with feminism, sex, human design (the foreskin and clitoris), and the Earth medicines, our emotional nature has long been demonized. At a certain point, man (female nature plays in in a different way) became so enthralled with materialism, consumption and control – all based out of fear – that we could not bare the shame and guilt that would consume us if we were to reckon with and honor our own emotional realm. Since the emotions are what connect the mind with the body, all since of physical integrity is lost. So a whole mental infrastructure has been created that represents all of the beliefs that surround this obsession of consumption, and it loops around on itself by creating illusory relief with illusory security while actually creating more destruction, ultimate self consumption and death.
You can easily compare it to a yeast that eats sugar, producing acid or alcohol. In turn, this byproduct eventually destroys the yeast when there gets to be too much of it, creating harder wines (now they actually use a chemical to kill off the yeast for commercial wine). Most people think of beer, wine, and bread when they think of yeast. Rarely do people consider that essentially every American citizen is a host for this acid producing creature, thriving on all the sugars, breads and alcohols that we consume and that our organizations call “food”. This consumer in the gut we call a yeast, but do we really know what it is? It acts like a parasite, but has no mechanical digestion system. It IS a digestion system. When there gets to be too much of it we call it a yeast infection, but that’s really just because it’s gotten way too out of control.
What are the parallels between status quo consciousness and the consciousness that of yeasts that reside in our own guts?
