b124 (6.20-2.2025): For-Give (and remember)

For-Give (and remember)
by ima fore giver 
 
For-Give and Re-Member
Re-Unite the team
let them know that you are still an actor in their dreams
____________________
 
·       Forgiveness is fine.  'forgive & forget,' however... is a mistake.  we should remember things that hurt or harm, and we should look at the perpetrator’s current state of thought, word, and deed.
 
1.     has s/he apologized via actions, e.g. stopping the hurtful behavior?

2.     has s/he demonstrated extinction of that hurtful behavior (for days, months, years)?

3.     if someone is well-behaved now, it is time to forgive (and ob-serve).  the goal is to help that person to not fall back into the habits that spawned the hurtful behavior.

4.     If you really, really love someone: For-Give and remember.
 
of course, a higher vibration than Forgiveness is Nonjudgment: the state of getting to a point where/when we under-tand what might have led to the behavior in question.  even in Nonjudgment, however, it might be prudent to sleep with one eye open, for a time.

b124 (6.20-1.2025): dying to get out of here alive

dying to get out of here alive
by a. former alpha bee
 

i’m dying to get out of this insatiable beehive

i’m dying to get out of here, get out of here alive
 
____________________
 
·       dying... will be a release. 

·       dying… without going through hell in life… will be getting out of here, alive.
 
in the u.s.a. (and even globally, now), social media has provided the angry psycho with a mechanism to destroy lives and reputations, anonymously.  because of this, teachers, leaders, and potential lovers live in fear.  they are not honest (or even confrontational) with someone who is a member of a protected group.
 
as a faculty member, i can say that my students own me.  if they complain, i’m on trial.  if a student gets angry because i’m unreasonable (e.g. i expect him/her to do homework, or i referred to him/her as a he or she instead of a they…) s/he can crush my life on rateyourprofessor.com and complain to my dean with two-presses of a cell-phone thumb.   
 
retirement (flying under the radar, autonomy, solitude, absence of fame)… is a state of survival for the modern man.  dying (without being put through hell) will be like getting out of here, alive.
 
the author of this thoem (former alpha bee) understands that leaving his very home-life/hive may be his only path to freedom.

* the reason why 'pagans' weren't mentioned is that there was no religion known as paganism.  beginning in about 400 a.d., 'pagan' was a name-calling tactic (by the monotheists) to shame & attack those polytheists (almost everyone) who believed in more than one God. then, the monotheists (uh) 'modified' key pagan beliefs and wove those beliefs into their own, man-made religions.  basically, it's man -- making god in man's own image: king. lord. god. savior. father. etc.

b124 (6.19-3.2025): haters gonna hate

haters gonna hate
by a. l. over 
 
haters gonna hate
they know not what they do
haters gonna hate
a pain that flows on through
 
hate is like a flood of pressure, building (it can’t wait)
volcano doth explode, and
haters gonna hate
____________________
 
·       haters tend to forget (in the moment of hate) that their words and deeds say much more about themselves than the object of their hate.  hate (often) stems from pain), and pain is a child of fear.
 

i need to re-member this, when i spew anger (or other negative emotions). 

i’m saying much more about my current state (of hate) than i am 

about the politician, dick-tator, or whiner.  

   i hate it when i do that. 😊  

maybe it’s time to for-give.

·       not exactly what one would expect from a man of Jesus.
 
after i called-him-out for making a sexual comment (in reference to my sister!) that was low (even for him) …his half-hearted ‘apology’:
 

“I hate you feel that way. I’m a Christian guy who likes to have fun.

I only say stuff like that around people I like and trust 

to see them smile and have fun.”

hmmmmmm... bullsh--.

yes

·       my highest form of Love (for you) is to facilitate y/our independence from/on me.

·       our inter-independence will allow for us to be complete compadres/playmates: supportive, hopeful, connected, cooperative, caring… but not jealous or needy.

* inter-independence is individuation.

* no one can 'break' your heart

the gut-wrenching feeling of a "broken heart" stems from one's own (often) unrealistic expectations not being met (by the object of his/her desire).  it is (often) more of a control-move than the victimization-story that it is purported to be.

"we break our own heart, via our own, internal, unrealistic expectations."

b124 (6.17-1.2025): virtually physical

 
virtually physical
by ether r. eal
 
virtually physical
she was like a Dream
tender to the touch (so much!) a depth of kiss it seemed
she coerced me to coerce her: body, Soul and mind
virtually physical, she’s got me in a bind

b124 (6.17-2.2025): bikinis doth Inspire

bikinis doth Inspire
by they r. sexy 
 

alternative title: let’s confess

 
bikinis catch my breath
bikinis fuel desire
bikinis (let’s confess)
bikinis doth Inspire
____________________
 
·       the “catching of the breath” in and of itself… is an inspiration, is it not?

·       my contention is that, if you are a high-testosterone male who is attracted to females, bikinis get your attention (so to speak).  this is not rocket-science, folks.

·       for me, the in-spiraiton is more than just a nibbling on a body part.  it’s the genuine burning desire that is shared by two people who yearn to connect (not only physically, but socially, psychologically, Spiritually…).
 
if you’d like to test this thoem's hypothesis, find a high-testosterone male, and have him google “hot girls in bikinis."  if the filter is on “strict,” click “moderate” and so on.  you will get his attention (at some level).

* when aotm = atm

 when aotm = atm, you will relent to the aotm insomuch as you are dependent on the atm.  in that instance... you will wish that you'd never become dependent upon the atm.

okay, okay, so an aotm is made of atoms. :)

i’m dreaming (here) in seconds [i]

by ima dreamer
 
i’m dreaming, here (in seconds), an eternity it seems
in seconds i am dreaming, i am dreaming dreaming-dreams
____________________________________ 

·         have you ever dreamt that you were dreaming?  let’s call that a ‘dreaming-dream’.

 
·         i (it seems) can close my eyes and (within seconds) dream that i’m dreaming a dreaming-dream.
 
·         it’s not a lucid-dream, per se… it’s more like dreaming that you are dreaming a lucid-dream (and then waking up into this Dream).
