Benign Neglect - Introduction...

MY UTERUS IS SUFFERING FROM BENIGN NEGLECT.
When a person is severely mal-nourished, they slowly begin to die. Their stomachs swell as they become physiologically agitated and starved by imbalanced and inconsistant nourishment. It feeds off of itself and eventually will refuse traditional methods of nourishment. The stomach reaches a point where it can no longer perform its intended duties without intervention. The worsening conditioning effects other bodily characteristics and functions. Without resolving the starvation, there is no resolving the other ermerging issues.

What I have described, is the condition of my uterus. I have neglected it by virtue of proper nurishment (diet & spiritual) and care (physical/health). Instead of honoring it every day, I have cursed it for the pain it brings me every month. I didn't realize that the pain and the increase in menstrual flow (up to 3 times per month) was my uterus crying out to me for help and attention. I didn't comprehend the language it spoke and I never tried to take the course to learn the language.

~Blow off the dust!



Well, let me blow the dust off the surface of this blog. Why I left it for so long, I do not know. But I came back for a minute to see what new things I may have learned ... that I didn't realize I'd learned.

I know that my writing things... my thoughts... summaries of my activities... my renewed interests... my shortcomings... well, writing about them, brought them to a place for me to do something about them. Either that, or openly acknowledge that I was not fulfilling my own promises. You know we rarely fool other people, but we are quite proficient at fooling ourselves. And why would we want to? Well, I have a quote up on my Facebook that kind of puts it in perspective for me...


"We take refuge in pride because we are afraid to tell the truth to ourselves."
(Kakuzo Okakura)


Our pride has a tendency of distorting reality. We may find it easy to talk about others being fake or phoney... not being real. But what about ourselves. We do a great job at mascarading and covering up what's real. Now, I am not saying we should not operate in a realm of our aspirations... I believe that is the way to meet the woman or man we aspire to be - we have to practice having those aspired traits. But don't forget what you aspired to grow from. Don't pretend that you can't relate or that you are above someone else who has not yet aspired to grow from from a certain place.

We must always be humble. Let's take some pride in knowing who and what we have come from.
I am fortunate to be able to socialize among some that I can hold as an example in different areas of my life. I take advantage of the fact that I can learn from others, but I never forget that they are moving toward and aspired state of being as well. So, they are not perfect and they will make mistakes. They are open about their mistakes, misunderstandings, and lack of understandings. I find that this quality makes your ground more fertile for the growth you wish to achieve. Humility is a hell of a fertilizer!
Well, this is just a rambling I guess, but it is one that I wanted have with myself, for myself, and for anyone else who is interested and has something to add.

Peace,
