Irony? What’s that? Merriam Webster’s dictionary sez…
IRONY applies to a manner of expression in which the intended meaning is the opposite of what is seemingly expressed… the irony of the title
Is life itself, ironic? Yin and Yang melt together into a sex union and we call it Being.
I wrote the following years ago. It wasn’t completely wrong, but it came from a place of hurt and anger. I am old now. Born 1950. The brilliant men a wimmin I follow on line are mostly the age of my deceased children. I chuckle when you guys refer to the eighties as “the old days.”
Just saying that being an ancient hippie has its own unique perspective.
The point is my training. Second wave feminism? Third wave? I never knew. All I knew was that my mom was unhappy, and her mom never wanted a child. I didn’t want their unhappiness. The Grasshopper Tribe are never satisfied. They eat all the food, all at once, then lay eggs and die. Young grasshoppers are on their own.
I wanted to be something else. Not a grasshopper. Funny thing about DNA, jumpers jump. The quest is not about changing who you are. The quest is to elevate your ancestors. Understand the qualities of jumping and eating fields. How?
Humun events. It was rewarding to blame men at the time. Now I see the error of our ways and I hope it is never too late to see the wide vision of creation from a lofty perch.
Soon I will get to the title of my essay, Singularity. I always bury the lead. I think backwards, Hioka, so they say.
But first…. an essay written from a while back:
Teamwork in the animal Kingdom!
Bird flies into window and loses consciousness, but his buddy does not leave his side until he can get up and fly!
Tortoise notices his friend is rolled over. So he comes over to lend a helping shell.
His-story:
“May the best man win.”
"man's best friend"
“the common man”
“the man in the street”
“man made”
“no man is an island”
“Manpower”
“The Family of Man”
“The man behind the curtain”
“The Man in the Boat.”
“Unmanned Drone”"Great is the hand that holds dominion over man by a scribbled name." -- Dylan Thomas
"Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest"
--Denis Diderot"An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support."
-- John Buchan"On the sixth day, God created man. On the seventh day, man returned the favor."
-- Unknown“The woman's mission is not to enhance the masculine spirit, but to express the feminine; hers is not to preserve a man-made world, but to create a human world by the infusion of the feminine element into all of its activities.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
“Coming to terms with the rhythms of women's lives means coming to terms with life itself, accepting the imperatives of the body rather than the imperatives of an artificial, man-made, perhaps transcendentally beautiful civilization. Emphasis on the male work-rhythm is an emphasis on infinite possibilities; emphasis on the female rhythms is an emphasis on a defined pattern, on limitation.”
~ Margaret Mead“A gem is not polished without rubbing, nor a man made perfect without trials”
~ Chinese Proverbs quotes~ “Don’t act like a girl.” This is quite popular for women to say in TV shows. The misogynist writers probably think it makes OK to say it. But hating the Femme is the inevitable result of a Singular Male God. If He is one and only good, then all else is wrong and bad.
~ “He’s a sniveling pussy.”
A figure is neither formed by nor owns experiences: his figurative identity shapes the significances of the events in his life.
Both sexes were called “he” for as long as I have lived. We were singular under One Single God whose name was He Who Lives Elsewhere. We were all endowed with this cultural perspective, regardless of our religious training. Nevermind that all the religions of the modern world have the same Dude as God. They call Him different names. They fight over who has the better and only name. But He is He. A Single Male Deity, who created everything, alone.
That’s a big miracle indeed! It always pissed me off. So I blamed the men for this perspective in spite of the fact that all the men in my life were caring for and protecting me. So blind.
But in my defense, my astrology has the girly planet, Venus in the very masculine sign Aries, so fighting seems to be one of my favorite pastimes. Add to the IRONY with my male Planet, Mars showing up in the feminine sign of Virgo in the house of the passive-aggressive mother, resulting in my deep conviction of my victimhood. I a dramatic victim who could outplay many, as was determined by a strong presence of characters in the house of stage presence, the actor.
The moral of that story: Know yourself and don’t believe your own bullshit.
Singularity is a thing. Yes, and it is one third a 3 part formula. Quite simple. As I often say, the Tao is 3 not 2 things; not simply black field with white dot and white field with black dot. It is Yin Stuff, Yang Inspiration and the resulting Now, Zhen. These Chinese words are foreign. I use them as buffers from the words we use in the West. Male and Female; so charged.
The foreign words help take us up a notch into a higher level from the everyday prejudices we carry like blood in our veins. We are so convinced that we know. Foreign words are stop signs. Foreign words make us struggle to understand. We need struggle. Let’s choose righteous struggles. Can we?
You are IT. I am IT. We are singular Together. Words don’t say this. Ironically, words are only one Third of the equation. Words are not real. Words are Gods in search of a physical mate who can form them into some Thing.
Words are the Yang part. Reality is the Yin part. Creation is Them, Together, Always, Here. Not elsewhere. Not He or Her, but They.
And yes, ironically, if we get a handle on this cultural reset we experience, then we can understand the power of this weird trans obsession spread across the world like wildfire.
Young people are responding to the clarion call that I used to profess. I wrote about changing from a male identified universe into a femme identified universe. I wanted The Words to lose and The Body to win! I was wrong, as usual.
There is no single universe. There is only a multiplicity of universes expressing the curiosity of unnamed and opposite forces that are holy and beyond, and ironically, we know them, because we are Them.
