Experiment - for what it's worth
sKePTiKal:
Hey tt, me too - interest in the paranormal, that is. And hairdresser, too... then I sort of grew out of it; saw a lot of it for the wishful thinking that it was. But then, there's the broad subject of "magic" and "mystery"... I guess the mystical, in a nutshell. I'm still drawn toward it. The invisible, unseen, undefinable aspects of life... the stuff we don't talk about because we haven't decided what words "fit" or "explain" or "describe"... stuff that's always "like" something else...
Stuff like the "IMP" - the ironic monitoring process. This is so close to my own inner description of a phenomena I've experienced, I'm just fascinated and curious to know more about it. And it fits so nicely, with my new year's resolution this year: to be funny again... silly... to use that sensitivity and awareness of cognitive dissonance to make people laugh. There hasn't been enough laughter for awhile; the pee your pants kind of laughing... that resolves two mutually exclusive realities (dissonance)... and sands down the sharp shards of pain. Like the Mother Goose nursery rhyme I "twisted" to make fun of a friends' N-mom...
'course now... that means I have to open my mouth, throw the tenets of political correctness to the winds, allow my inner smart ass a soapbox to declaim from....
water balloons, indeed!! ;)
Meh:
I've been considering this some more. I want to practice this I just haven't gotten geared up to do it yet. How is it working for you P?
sKePTiKal:
I didn't notice a thing - except I seem to be sliding into the mid-winter doldrums; in other words the opposite effect it's supposed to have. That could just be the weird way my brain is wired. Same/similar thing happens with medication - if it's supposed make people nervous, I can't stay awake... and vice versa.
Meh:
Maybe one could imagine pouring some hot chocolate into the brain.
sKePTiKal:
Hmmm.... chocolate. That's close to what I picked...
I ended up with sea salt scrub... body butter... and I plan to soak my body in all this stuff and maybe it'll soak into my brain at the same time. It's pretty silly - but I've feeling totally pooky; like I'm "sick"... but no real symptoms except the usual sinus-barometer effect with our up/down weather.
That's an old pattern; how I express emotional needs... and since I'm also dreaming about being in situations where I feel I have to yell HELP... I'm just going to spoil myself physically for a little while. I could be fighting off some bug... but with everything else I've been thinking about... it's more than likely a combination of things.
