Amnesia Reversal

Peeling back the layers, day by day, moment by moment, NOW by ever-blossoming NOW.

Though the layers seem to be, they are all illusory, part of the game I am playing with myself to laugh with the cosmic joke I created for pleasure's sake.  For everything is present - - infinity - - like the rolled out red carpet of consciousness, revealing the depth of all that could ever be.  Hiding it again and again.  Choosing to cover and then once more dis-cover the treasures of myself cast in the deep.

 I am endless, endlessly expressing in a myriad of forms and faces, textures and places, sounds and forgotten spaces...blooming repeatedly in synergistic mixed up and un-repeated patterns of make-believe.

What is this now present moment in the scope of all that is?? All that I am??

For in the knowing of my grandeur - it is at the same time just as true that I am wholly present in this one square tile pressing cool to my feet...in the strands of hair falling across my cheek...the spoon filled with juicy summer peaches...the light pressure of my fingers dancing across letters printed on plastic tabs.

How sometimes perplexing the paradox of seeming contradictions...yet when I decide not to alienate, separate the parts...but instead put them side by side existing as pieces of a beating heart...the blue and the red - it is all said in the one breath ever exhaling at the same time breathing in...I'm always losing at the same time I win, giving when I'm taking your hand, sitting peacefully while I stand, living righteously in the moment of sin - ever blended by the knowing within - that I know nothing...except the surface of my skin - ever melting into the fabric of this space - invisible, indivisible -

...we are Oneness - expressing as multiplicity-  luminousity in the black hole of YES --
 Recognition bleeding through the collective amnesia of BLISS.
We are This. and in the make-believe peeling -I am revealing all that I always and never knew - consciousness basking in glory- mysteriously renewed.  There is only the instant within where I stand...all else artistically- projections enhanced.  Can I get it...??? Can I release all of time?? and find myself within this Oneness of mine.?!  Sublime.

Important Women's Empowerment Film -

Hysteria

Starring Maggie Gyllenhaal & Hugh Dancy

Hysteria is based largely on true events surrounding the invention of the first vibrator.  Now, upon first discovery of this film’s content, I was intrigued, indeed – even amused that a film was being created about this subject.  I waited an entire year since first hearing about the making of Hysteria and finally had the chance to see it the other night at its opening in Portland, OR in the Hollywood theater.  I was more than pleasantly surprised at not only how well this movie was done depicting such an event, but more than this – how extremely crucial the information presented in this film is valuable to the subject of women’s empowerment today. 

Set in the 1880’s, Hysteria introduces how women were diagnosed with what was termed ‘hysteria’ (continuing on until 1952) – for symptoms that would describe any empowered self-motivated, passionate woman today.  Women were, in this time, largely kept at home, responsible for running the household - all the while keeping silent as to the opinions, ideas and musings going on in their minds.  It was thought that women with emotional outbreaks and ‘incessant thoughts’ were in need of medical attention and so it is upon this premise that the story line basically begins…in a doctor’s office where women with ‘hysteria’ are being treated.

This film is truly entertaining in all respects as the events which lead to the invention of the vibrator unfold –and in addition to humor, the content is most profound in the depiction of one woman’s journey – a woman with a voice who would not be silenced, and the way society ‘handled’ her.  As I watched the unfolding events surrounding Maggie Gyllenhaal’s character, I began to realize  I was like her.  I also recognized how many woman in the world  today are still not too much unlike these ‘patients’ visiting the doctor’s office, keeping their mouths shut – obeying society’s ‘rules’ about how a woman ought to behave.  When I realized that it has only been 60 years since the last time a woman was diagnosed with ‘hysteria’ I began to wonder how much of this history was still playing part in the actions, motivations and confidence (or lack thereof) in women today?

This movie is only scheduled to play at the Hollywood theater until Thursday of this week.  I encourage each and every person to grab a friend or two, or three or more and head down there this week and watch this film.  I sincerely hope we can lengthen its running time here in this – most liberal city of Portland.  We ought to be supporting the education that comes with such a movie.  I applaud, cheer and deeply thank all those involved in the creation of this film and I look forward to seeing the effects of such awareness spread as women today are empowered to speak their true voice and embrace the passionate sensual beings we are.  !!
