This one’s getting popular on the ‘space, so I figured I would share it with the world.
About Humans, Or How to Deal with Jack
Current mood: animated
Category: Life
Just so that everybody knows what is real about this topic…
I had to spill some clarification as I contemplated the Tao on this eve.
I noticed that this year lacks the drama so far, and I felt it pertinent that I nail all this down on your church door, just in case anyone even starts to stray this year.
I have begun to condense the ideas of society, politics, and mating to the result of the chivalrous words of years past. I had a lot more experiences since then- met some people, seen some crazy things. I’m happy to share with anyone who cares to listen, though the initiates know what I speak of already-
Where other young single men keep up a little black book, a list, a MySpace / Facebook list,
(I won’t deny, I have from time to time)
I know see a cloud of souls, much like a brain.
If you dare to try to understand my sexual, territorial, or supernatural ethics, you need to start more elementary.
I live my life in an accelerated experiment of consciousness and philosophy.
If you can’t deal with that, or attempt to fully understand what I say now word for word, then please kindly go bugger off until you are ready to approach a monk with an empty cup.
It is for this very reason that my experience gives me continuous reason to question the validity of the following concepts, some of them becoming sinful concepts in my mind:
Organized Religion
Monogamy
Americana
Two-Party Politics
Diehard subscription to a given philosophy over all others (See Religion)
Greed
Arrogance
Hate
Apathy
Jealousy
Inefficiency
If you are diehard about any of these things, don’t even get me started unless you are ready for an intellectual debate.
By intellectual, I mean that if you rool into a talk with circular reasoning or incomplete logic, I will lose interest and move on- I’m a busy man, make this moment worth something. I could be enjoying pleasant and stimulating conversation over a cold beer right now, and you’re killing my schedule.
Back to the cloud, and how it connects to me, in the most direct similes I can craft:
Within this cloud are the spirits of people, places, animals, concepts, archetypes, gods and goddesses, and computer systems. Each of these, like everything else on the planet, has a distinct consciousness, and they are all equal in my mind.
Some are just more equal than others.
Therefore, allow me to lay down the solid truth about my loyalties.
In the topmost echelon of my heart are a select few Aquasiblia, Sangrifamilia, and a trinity of deities.
Under those are the honest and just of the tribes, the long-lost cousins of my soul. Some pets begin to appear in this strata. Some gods are regarded as equals to the people of this strata as well, including archetypes of the wholesale human experience.
Under those are all else. If you are not established in my eyes as a just and decent individual, you are a civilian in regards to my mission in life.
Each of these orbs that rest about my chakras are connected to the cloud, as neurons in a brain connect to each other. Some associate themselves with each other, some are near-islands. Some are bright, full of information and potential. Some are damaged brain cells, in need of rebirth and recycling. Few people can see these connections and what they truly mean, and those few become my closest partners.
As the village priest, I have taken responsibility of the counsel of my tribe since the age of 16. There is no person on this planet, even those close to my heart, that may ever interfere with this, at risk of outright abandonment. If you try to change me from my chosen path, you are welcome to try- but it will be near impossible, and I am willing to fully cut you out of my life if you push too hard. My calling to the tribe is much more important than what anyone could ever bring to the table.
My scorpionite sanity is kept in check by a balance between complete solitude and full-out ministry, and my Aquasiblia help me maintain that balance, as I trust them with my life.
The office I hold requires that I keep a sense of privacy and confidentiality about me and the people that I encounter. I am a fair witness when called for my office, but I usually
See All and Witness Nothing,
for my confidence is more important than my usefulness to those that seek to break vows of privacy. If you want to spread, conjure, or distort some kind of social dirt, consider someone else to involve- I am not interested in your foolish human drama.
If you want competition, deceit, jealousy, or a john to trick- this is not the John you are looking for. If you want truth filtered through privacy, if you want harmony in balance with liberty, If you want random knowledge and a shoulder to lay your head upon, drop me a line.
Don’t just show up- drop a line. My more respectful friends understand this, and you should take a clue. 2010 is all about professionalism.
My room is not just a bedroom, it is a temple and a recording studio. Respect it, and don’t expect me to change that. I am fully invested in the roles of minister and producer, so my door is open to the community for a good portion of the time. However, if the door is locked, I’m counseling, sleeping or getting laid- just call me later- it’s a simple as that. Did I stutter? (See Jealousy, above.)
When it comes to mating, I figured I’d drop a little clarity on this.
At times, I am active. At times, I am celibate. It’s no one else’s idea- it’s what a metaphysician has to do during different phases of consciousness. Deal with it.
You could have the moves of a gymnast and the brain of an engineer- Don’t fucking care.
(See Monogamy, above)
To The Ladies,
I am always down for a conversation, and if I trust you, and you are mature enough (and good looking enough) I may just be inclined to get close, perhaps close enough to comfort, to cuddle, to feel human and be whole near another human.
Don’t expect sex, don’t expect a relationship. Don’t expect to magically become my “girl” anytime soon. No matter how great I may seem to you, I am a flawed and imperfect creature just like everyone else, and those that connect with me intimately are often driven to insanity. Beware, and be aware- be mature, and remember what I DO NOT believe in anymore (see above). If you somehow get all that down pat, and still think that we could be something, then try me, but start with meaningful intellectual fucking conversation. If you can’t do that, I will get bored and wander away.
I really don’t mean to sound so harsh, but it seems to fit the topic. I don’t expect anything from anyone, taking everything with all info with grain of salt, all emotion straight to heart, all medicine in moderation. It’s been good so far this year, but if drama arises-
You cannot say I didn’t tell you so. It’s all right here in this message. Take is not as a hazing, but a more pleasant initiation- take it as a blessing, for you now know what few ever really knew about Jack. Face me as honestly as I have been above, and we’ll be quick friends.
Have Fun, Don’t Die, Don’t Get Caught.
Don’t Do Anything I Wouldn’t, But If You Do…
Record it, For I enjoy all things, insane or mundane.
Your Gods be With You.
Sincerely,
Rev. Jack Tactical
Sometimes One wonders whether or not One is getting anywhere in life. This One wonders whether or not she is appreciated, or correct in decisions that need no second guessing. Life becomes stressed and One can be tempted down a less than healthy path. This is a process for helping One’s self flow through decisions and they day to day goings on.
Sometimes One doesn’t wonder. At all. These times are hectically peaceful. With or without thinking, One makes progress, but where is this progress heading? One should be able to feel the pull of the world and willfully change One’s own direction.
Thinking is an art we practice as infants, children, teenagers, adults and elderly. Every One does it. Only some can choose to stop. Not thinking is another art, yet is rarely seen as one. Infants stop thinking on accident, this is where the journey begins. Lazily, their minds drift in to the off-white ocean that resembles a ceiling. Children are so engrossed in simply things and many things that finding a time to stop thinking is difficult and often may not happen. Other children are pinned with a mental illness becuase they slowly perfect the art of not thinking. The art of not thinking lessens ones attachment to the material and electric way of the world. Thus, why it is harder for teenagers and adults. Elderly, wise with age, see more clearly the line between Thinking and Not Thinking, and are occassionally able to block out the urges to think.
This One believes that in order to not think miscellaneous concerns must be set aside. Enough of the laundry, of the lit homework, of the cashiering, of the numerable actions One does not require a mind to do. Just Stop Thinking. Find a place inside One’s self and nurture the entity that waits there. No reservations on how that is done, every One has a unique way.
Once that spirit has seen light, said spirit will find a path to the One on the outside and the process of Not Thinking becomes easier. It is an art and art must be appreciated, studied, and practiced. Only then will beauty and understanding be purely seen.
Ok. First the bad news.
A small experiment that I was undertaking resulted in the deletion of the VOR Forums. Oops. I will hopefully have it back up in a few moments. Not sure what the fate of the posts or members are though. I will be looking into it…
Now the good news.
I am taking on a more proactive approach to advertising the forums. Hopefully this will bring in some members, but I need help. Anyone who is a member of the CHiL community, please, I urge you to join VOR. It’s basically just the social extension of CHiL. A place to share ideas, debate issues, and organize social meetings, amongst other things. Thank you all for your help in advance.

VOR is back up and running!
Still being driven mad by the fact that the favicon is messed up, but that’s a minor issue. Anyway, please get over there and join up.
