It has been many days since my last confession. My apologies, I have been very busy doing nothing, especially with the Solstice festivities this weekend, a literal 24-3 of yoga and YRA (yoga-related-activity) peaking on Saturday night with ecstatic dance and the potent reishi mushroom elixir that alivens one's sushumnas.
The reishi mushroom elixir is a non-hallucinogenic compound thought to have magical powers and I was told it makes one's sushumnas fucking explode!
Now let me tell you this, I have no clue what sushumnas are, but yes, I was alivened! And also let me state that "aliven" may or may not be a word. But I like it, so let's go with it. Let me also say that "sushumnas" is in fact a word. I know this because wikipedia only prints facts.
Ecstatic dance is just letting go, going wild. It's not like dancing at a club where you're trying to be hot/ cool or whatever, it's about alivening the sushumnas, and dropping all that pretense. And it's about going back and forth between self-consciousness and pure consciousness, and noticing all that, and being okay with it. No moves, no booze, just abandon.
And of course, the more you let go, the more you give up, the cooler you end up being.
I have a new guitar. I'm learning chord progressions. Wonderfully humbling.
My trading has been lights out, but f-ck that, I know it bores you to near-death, and it can unravel any time. I'm understanding now more than ever, trading is mostly luck, and about managing luck rather than any half-assed analysis -talk about busy nothing. Plus, bearishness makes awful copy, so enough already.
Sushumnas alive!!
Love and so much gratitude for your time!
