b130 (1.30-2.2026): how to survive the apocalypse

how to survive the apocalypse [i]
by l. martineau
 

alternative title: do-Be-do = sing & dance

 
nukes and kooks and zombies
robot-dolls and spies
social media-cr[i]ty is but a big disguise
i could say “it’s easy, Now” but why should wIe pretend?
“how-to survive apocalypse” it’s biblical:
 
-the end

____________________________________
 
1.      while it is i’mpossible to ‘survive’ the inevitable, we can reframe ‘survival’ as “living as best as we can, until…”

2.      …until the inevitable death, disease, famine, commercials, war, climate change, Y-2K, ASI, divorce, G-5, thermonuclear war, cellphones, politics, robot-dogs and insta-grams.
  a.      wIe can’t escape it. no bunker can protect against it.

“we are going to die. live Well.” -lm

3.      the way to survive better is wellness: body, mind & Spirit.
  a.      a strong, fit, lean, healthy body to combat dis-of-ease and facilitate ease.
  b.      a lucid, aware, critical-thinking, well-rounded mind.
  c.       a sense of something bigger, better, more Unified, more Peaceful, more Loving.
 

survival-thrival happens in-between the ears.

it (literally) is the big-O of the Oco-bodymind.

 
Spirit
 
while it could be argued that Spirit is all in the mind, that’s okay too! it’s the belief in something more Joyous over the hill (at the 19^th hole). however you frame it is okay. in the mean-times, make peace with those who might think otherwise. the peace, Love, connection & For-give-ness is all in your mind, too!
 
mind
 
the mind is the bridge (per se) of the Ocobodymind. of course, it’s all One, but it helps to separate mind out -- as its component physical and non-physical parts. thoughts, feelings and emotions can either be a hellacious, dead-end bunker or an attitude-of-gratitude coupled with positive actions. choice-in-awareness decides what to pay attention to, and attention pre-paves perceived reality. we feed the mind (physically), which formulates the base, the body.
  
body
 
the body is the space-suit that we are born with, what we currently have, and what we do-Be-do with it: nutrition, movement, rest and challenge.  the body (as bodymind) co-creates the mine-d. any individual who can do anything to better the body is wasting life-times by choosing otherwise.
 
that’s it. wIe already know what to do-Be-do. wIe are going to do-Be-do what wIe are going to do-Be-do, anyway. it’s not my mission to take wellnesseducation.us to the promised land.

 

y/our mission, should wIe choose to accept it…

 
  …is to Be. we cannot not. the only question, then, for each of us (in-divid-u-ally), is how we’d like to survive/thrive the inevitable.
 

“it… is… coming.* what are you doing to do-Be-do?”

* it is actually (uh, Be-ing). the only question is “how would you like to experience it?” 

notes: 

• this thoem will (probably) be the closure thoem to book 132: who are wIe, as men?
• the photo was taken (por moi) on eleuthera island, 2025.
• the graphic in the thoem was drawn on the back-page of an article entitled: bloom's taxonomy of measurable verbs.

1.     everything happens because of pressure (or some differential in pressure).
 
2.     surviving sentient entities (things that have a sense of self) survive… due to a strong survival instinct.  for lack of a better term, let’s call sentient entities ‘be-ings.’
 
3.     be-ings, in i-survive-all mode, need basics: like air, water, food, etc.
   o   sentient machine-intelligence might require a different set of basics.
 
4.     be-ings (from atoms to AGI), in i-survive-as-a-species mode… replicate.

 
 
 
5.     be-ings, in survival mode, strive to better their odds at 3 & 4, above.  i call this ‘thrival,’ but this process is just the evolution of survival.  thrival is explained below:
 
6.     beings bond-together (there’s safety in numbers), mark territory (to secure basic resources and reproductive resources), and experience hierarchies (pecking-orders determine who gets more or less of that which promotes survival).
 
7.     surviving species also tend toward ego (a sense of separate self*). ego-ic groups seek access to resources, engage in nonstop reproduction, and utilize memory/cognition to take intelligent actions that perpetuate the survival-thrival/replication process (evolution).
 
8.     unless impeded (or kept-in-check) by an outside entity (e.g. a predator, dis-ease, disaster, overpopulation, etc.) the surviving entity/species becomes cancerous -- event-u-all-y committing murder-suicide by destroying itself via destroying its host.
 
9.     the host (if/be-ing energy that is neither created nor destroyed), upon death, would trans-form (dedupe) into part-i-cles that allow for the evolution of other entities, thereby perpetuating the evolution/devolution/survival-thrival/death/re-cycle.    
 
-the beginning

*the sense of separate self (ego) can be attributed to an individual (be-ing) and to a species/group (e.g. humans; the yankees).  

-the species/group, in turn, develops cult-like processes (culture) that perpetuate the survival/thrival of the species/group. 

b114 (3.12-2.2023): Love

Love [i]
by evol u. tionary

what if Love, on a sub-atomic level, is connection/similarity/togetherness/etc.?
_________________________________
 
·       It could only Know Itself if it could glimpse what it isn’t (which, for the purpose of this thoem, we will label as “fear”).
·       It would seek to survive/thrive/replicate its experience, so (absent restrictions to Its replication-ing)…
·       It (in effect) might appear cancerous.
 
i’m not sure if that Loving rabbit-hole makes me feel any better (or worse, really) about the state of humanity, the earth and/or the Uni-Verse.

b100 (3.20-1.2021): no one matters more

no one matters more [1]

no one matters more
in any space or time
anyplace can be a case for sanity and mime
_______________________

·       in an ego-maniacal, apparently physical reality (e.g. life on planet earth), differentiality and separation are not only necessary, but both are sought (in the never-ending pursuit of survival and thrival).

• it is other-worldly …to tap into the essence that no one is better than anyone, and that no one matters more… than you.

• you matter.  your thoughts/ideas matter.  the happy/sad is why you signed-up for this.

·       be… second to n/One.
