I’ve noticed that people are busy. Like, they plan things around other things. All the things are plans. And stuff friendships and family in between sports, extracurriculars, programs, etc.
I have basically nothing going on. I mean, as far as plans. I do a lot of stuff. But I don’t plan it. It’s kinda like, just part of the flow of life. And when someone I don’t want to see wants to hang out, I just feel into if it could be part of my flow. If not, then I’m “too busy”, I guess. Except I’ve tried to be more honest.
There are so many boxes and categorizations for what people do in life. They put things in categories and schedule them all out so that they can tick off the boxes for their categories. Lol. It seems silly when I spell it out, but that’s what they do.
I see life in much less separation. Maybe it goes back to my dreamy nature, when in childhood there is no other Other, no environment, no ‘me’ and no ‘them’. I don’t see a ‘lifestyle’- I see a lifw. Whether it is holistic and sustainable dictates the health of the life. It’s that simple. Does the life enable the creation and consumption of its own needs, wants and desires? Does it resist its own needs and desires? Does it actively sabotage its own needs and desires?
We have been in a world of ultra specializations. Doctors aren’t just Doctors, they are throat doctors, bone doctors, foot doctors. None of them speak to one about or have any idea how their plan affects the other parts of the body on which they work. It’s insane, but that is how it is right now. It is so insane that I routinely hear from people subjected to the medical industry that their colon cancer specialist has no idea what kind of foods they should be eating; that is the job of the dietitian. Their thyroid specialist has no idea that the diet that they prescribe is totally contraindicated by that same patient’s dietitian.
I have thought for awhile that there needs to be a way that a person (who wants to) can have a total life transplant. That they can uproot their patterns, habits, career, survival strategies, everything, and learn another way to live. I never understand the tactic of trying to change only diet while keeping everything else the same. Or only exercise. Only steps. It doesn’t make any sense to me at all. And it doesn’t work. Go figure.
So I guess when I get into it, I feel like to be given the opportunity for someone to come into my life is really quite a big invitation which changes and shifts everything. How does my entire life feel, when that happens? It not a cognitive exercise. Not one bit. Our mind/brain cannot decide how it feels to shift our life in some way to accommodate someone new. That can only be felt in a visceral way by our very organs, our being, and that shift impacts our entire being.
I suppose the cost of intellectualizing this process and ignoring the body/soul consciousness in this process is observing the inevitable dis-ease which is created because of the ignorance of these bodies.
