POWER AND CONTROL



It seems people are interested in how to quantify their existance,
to give their selves meaning, given our nature,circumstances and experiences...

also for some semblance of existance we as people tend to believe the world revolves around us and that when we look for meanings we see how they relate with us, when we have to remeber that sometimes when a hawk flies over-head it isn't necessarily a sign or a meaning, and maybe , just maybe , the hawk has its own life to live , without our emotional or political agenda...maybe somethings don't need us to analyze to feel we are part of the nature...and the earth energy, while we are busy trying to save the planet, we have to remember the planet could well survive whatever people who live on its crust could ever do, its not the planet that needs saving, its our existance...

We do what we can given our natures, circumstances and experiences...while they are limited by what we know, there are many things we don't know...and we shouldn't allow other people who are also limited by what they know ever tell us what we shouldn't do  by their limitations...in other words, don't be limited in life by what other people limit their selves...everything we ever need to know is a seed we all carry from birth, its up to you what you grow within, and no amount of certificats or courses will tell you what you don't already know, even if its dormant...other peoples words and thoughts and inter-actions will waken feelings inside of us and its still up to the individual where to go and explore these thoughts and feelings...to nurture and grow what is the rythyms with-in...
no one else can do this for you,

It seems too often times, people tend to talk about masculine and feminine and its real popular to dismiss certain energies over others, tho energy
doesn't need your permission to exist, and just because someone doesn't want to acknowledge some thing, doesn't mean its still not there   ---

nature doesn't need to quantify energy, the wind doesn't care about your opinions...the wind is the wind, the ocean currents don't need your acknowledgement to exist,
where a blade of grass grows on a desolate hill is just as sacred to that blade of grass as some sacred oak that people enjoy a picnic...

A weed grows according to its nature, circumstances, and experiences..
.it doesn't care what you call it, or that you feel it doesn't belong in your version of nature in some manicured garden...and it doesn't care what its name is or what you feel...

it feels existance, just as we all do...the earth energy...that without the sun is non-existant,
everything else is based on our emotional needs and the politics we play with these emotions...

when we as individuals wrap ourselves with words that justify our fragile emotions, and others take on a role of leaders, remember its not necessarily a division of masculine and feminine, its how they inter-weave and are complementary...

also ,keep in mind, how do people who are in power positions handle
control, power ,and adversiry...how do they handle it within their selves, is what they say congruent with what they do...I've seen over and over opposition and conflict between what people say, what they do, and how others are influenced by the words they use....
some people that claim to know the way for some truth may know it for their selves,
tho who are they to tell you what your truth should be, should you even look for the truth, when moments are fluid and organic...always moving...looking for the "truth" is living in the past to some future, the truth is never the same, each moment leads to the next
you are in your own present moment...your presence is from birth, the rythyms that are congruent with earth energy are yours to feel, and to do...its your life, trust your self......

Just as the wind is a force of nature, so are we...
and we inter-weave with the life we involve ourselves,
and we can learn that power and control is within us,
and when we have power then we don't really need to control as much as we thought at some time, we can let go of the need for control, and that it doesn't really matter what others think, or even if they think like us,.or even if they like us

..we live our lives within ourselves, the rythyms that allow us to be congruent,
regardless of others, we are content within ourselves,
with out the need for others approval ...
or over-compensating for a sense of freedom   ...  
freedom is within the parameters of our individual existance

Its too easy for others to use words such as feminine , masculine,
and cause a division such as one is better than the other,
and those people are also the ones that have a hard time with in their selves
with in their own conflict regarding power and the need for control
due to their comfort level,

in a world where the wind has a life of its own,
and you also have a life of your own, learn to live with your own levels
of power, and control..others can't do it for you,
and women and men should notice where they are complementary,
 rather than dominating  because they are uncomfortable with
 letting go the need to be in charge...

The truth of the moment is always there, for your interpretation, your delusion, and who else can be drawn into some sphere of influence...the "truth" doesn't need to be searched,
or re-searched...the truth of the moment lives on a living vibrant planet, and doesn't need consent, or a name, or worship...or some group mythology,
people need these things to feel consent, animals don't ..
.they are born who they are, and just want to live, to be glad they were born who they are according to their nature...not some person image of it,,,,people have a hard time with their image, most people want to be puffed up in the illusion of some story, which in the long run, without the energy of the sun and the rythyms of the earth that were here long before existed without being named...energy doesn't need a name to have power...a typhon doesn't care what you call it, it moves with the weather and the terrain and the circumstances with which it exits, then it dissapates and re-forms somewhere else...

power and control by people has demolished and
 limited more lives than people minding their own selves,

power and control is corruptive in its nature,
people tend to think that if it weren't for outside circumstances
then the world would be wonderful and full of light,
when you see nature, see the contrasts and the full spectrum ,
                                we are all emotional animals,
power and control starts with you, what do you do when you are in power ?
                      how do you handle power and control ?

I read energy, of animals, and other living things, including
the emotional animals which we are ...

I also look at how much energy something takes, and how much
is being wasted, or in some psychological terms, is neurotic behavior...

The horses and dogs I re-train usually are looking for their place in the world,
a place where they are in tune with their inner rythyms...

The people I see are usually wasting it on some spiritual path,
or trying to fit in and still somehow feel disconnected...
while at the same time denying the present moment,
the moment where we have  to reconcile the human existance
 in the context of the battle for survival, and the will to live...

Usually when people come to me for advice i tell them to drop attitudes, and 
names  they feel they need to live up to,
and feel thru their sense the rythyms of the earth,
which includes the full spectrum of emotion and the contrasts of living...

also to give a fresh feel of time, and space its a better use
of energy to know that we are part of the world, and that selfish
 as people are, the world doesn't revolve around us, the world
doesn't exist for our pleasure and some ideal of what life should be,

the world was set in motion many years ago, when the bacteria were forming the forest floor, and the oceans depth, and the time the mountains were forming, life was set in motion, and we are part of the process..

.that being said, energy is put to best use when we realize our present situation, rather than escapist ideas that all we have to "do" is be positive and all good things come to us...

its easy to hide our common everyday struggle for existance by telling the world how great everything is, when it isn't, and the bigger escape of energy is when we feel we have to measure up to some one elses idea of positive, feel-good moments, and some other words and slogans to prop us up...there is way too much energy wasted by living up to some others ideals, when reality is far off base of wish-fufillment...

Look at your dogs, or cats , or horses, or significant people in our lives, ---   we waste so much energy trying to get them to fit our ideals that sometimes we forget their own nature, and by doing that we are not in tune with their rythyms as we could be, and it shows how off-rythym we are with our own selves...so my idea of it is, when the sun shows itself in the morning, it doesn't wait for you, or even care, tho you should care....and enjoy "be-ing" part of the process

when a force of nature happens, more than likely it was going to happen,
you just happened to be there,,,not everything is a sign from god or the universe,
sometimes, mostly , we just happen to be there, to witness the world...

Rather than wasting so much time and effort,
wasting energy trying so hard to "being" in control ,
        most times things happen because the world has its own rythyms,
        and maybe by being congruent with those rythyms then we,
        as emotional animals  can understand, 
         our own spectrum of emotions and the contrasts of living,
         and the fluidity of time.and space...
         then energy takes on fresh expansion...
         and has a life of its own, in relation to the world around us
