JEFF BROWN y’all

"To survive, you had to pay attention. You had to listen and learn the rules, then follow them closely. But your needs were kept from being expressed inside these rules. Eventually, you began to question the validity of your needs, and even lost trust in your own judgement.

When you must hide what you really want or require, there is no space for confidence to fly freely. There’s no room for trust to grow. No opportunity to learn from what it is you’ve been craving. It’s not joyous or satisfying when you make it your main purpose to please others and reject your hunger to actualize.

Now your walk, your steadfast mission, becomes about you. Your survival defenses are no longer required and your responses to appease are ready to be released. And your new practice is to allow yourself to express and unquestionably believe in your deepest needs."

Dedicated to those in recovery and thriving after trauma.

I like JEFF BROWN his thinking is in line with my thinking

Jeff Brown describes "Patriarchal Spirituality" like this: Those ungrounded and inhumane "spiritual" models that have been fostered by emotionally armored, self-avoidant men.
These models share some or all of the following beliefs:
* the ego is the enemy of a spiritual life
* the "monkey mind" is the cause of suffering
* your feelings are an illusion
* your personal identifications and stories are necessarily false
* witnessing your pain transforms it
* your body is a spiritually bankrupt toxic quagmire
* the only real consciousness is an "absolute" and "transcendent" one
* stillness and silence are THE path
* isolation is the best way to access "higher states"
* there is no "self"
* meditation is THE royal road to enlightenment
*enlightenment actually exists
* formlessness over form
* the ultimate path is upward and vertical
* real spirituality exists independent of our humanness
+

In fact, most of the above is a blatant lie.

As described by Jeff Brown, here are more accurate, non-patriarchal hypotheses about the nature of human life:
* A healthy ego is beautifully essential to healthy functioning
* The monkey mind is fed by the monkey heart (the unresolved emotional body)
* Many of our identities and stories are fundamental to who we are, where we have been, why we are here
* Healing your pain transforms it; watching it is only a preliminary step
* Our bodies are our spiritual temples
* The only "real" consciousness is one that integrates all that we are and all that this is
* Stillness and silence are only one path; many people prefer movement and sound
* There is no "higher" state (we aren’t birds). But connection may be the best way to access deepened states
* There is a magnificent self; the work is to align it with your sacred purpose, not to deny it altogether
* Meditation is not THE royal road; it’s one road, and it is not any more effective than embodied movement and emotional release as a clarification and transformation tool
* Enlightenment does not exist; enrealment does. (Be real now.) And it’s a relative experience, changing form as we and this changes form
* We are form, and we are here to in-form our humanness
* If there is an "ultimate path," it's downward (rooted) and horizontal
* There is no distinction between our spirituality and our humanness

Tacos and a little podcast, hanging out with Bob Androvitch Talking about art.

Color is something we all take for granted. We assume we see the world the same as everyone else. We know this not to be true because we know that color blindness exists. Bob is an artist, an amazing visual artist. We talk about his journey, from finding out he was color-blind to the influences that...
