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 19th 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

* urgency

in the seven habits of highly effective people, steven covey describes the self-management matrix and notes (convincingly) that 'quadrant II' (the wellness quadrant) needs to be where we invest, Now.

absent planning & investment, "important but not urgent" will become "urgent." 


this isn't a belief ...so much as an Is

maybe wIe can enjoy the process of pursuing what we want, experiencing ourselves getting better at getting it.

* the self-management model (shown above) was modified to further describe covey's idea. the thing that makes it harder to invest in quadrant II is simple: it's not urgent. if we can urgent-i-fy wellness activities, life flows like a good dream.
