collective trauma
A Collective Trauma (2022) by ziq.. via 3 pg kindle version from anarchist library
notes/quotes:
Grasping in the dark for something you can’t quite put into words..Quick, find a distraction..Always cycling through mind-numbing social activities that promise to provide you with fulfillment..converging with yet another group of like-minded busy little bees.
all the cancerous distractions to the dance
You’ll soon start to wonder if your shared fixations are superficial, ill-considered, ultimately a waste of life. But you’ll shake yourself out of it and continue to go through the motions of social ceremony, because anything is better than falling into that dreaded vacuum lurking deep in the crevasses of your mind.
Only by connecting with your base elements; the self free from decades of social manipulation and subjugation can you find the meaning you’ve lost touch with.
missing pieces ness.. maté basic needs (1 min video)
Reaching into the vacuum to retrieve your innate uniqueness. This is the only way you can hope to catch a glimpse of whatever lies beneath the dense layers of deception you’ve amassed.
almaas holes law et al
need 1st/most: means (nonjudgmental expo labeling) to undo hierarchical listening – so we can hear what’s already on each heart as global detox in order to org around legit needs
You possess the ability to break through the thick haze of bullshit enveloping everything you are. But the warm embrace of the group is so much easier to cultivate.
not so sure.. imagine a turtle et al.. none of us are free et al.. to me.. need global detox leap.. for (blank)’s sake
ie: humanity needs a leap.. to get back/to simultaneous spontaneity .. simultaneous fittingness.. everyone in sync.. the dance
Leviathan’s programming constrains your ability to connect with yourself, your environment, other people. You’ve been taught to live in fear of all that makes you brilliant and unique. To replace connection with consumption. Desire with duty, obligation, constraint.
supposed to’s of school/work et al.. hari rat park law et al
*You so crave the perceived permeance of community, of a **shared understanding, shared values, shared goals.
*rather missing piece #2.. **to me.. this is part of the cancerous distraction (thinking we have to have ie: understanding ness, values ness, goals ness, shared anything ness.. et al).. to me.. only thing legit share is missing pieces
The truth is dreadfully hard to accept. Community is nothing more than a shared delusion. A callous fraud that promises to make you whole, but instead leaves you tapped out, broken and thoroughly compromised.
in sea world.. but if legit free.. brown belonging law et al
You are forever on auto-drive. A constant loop of weary self-regulating insipidity.
because nothing to date has gotten to the root of problem
legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do
how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us..
ie: imagine if we listen to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & use that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)
the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
[‘in an undisturbed ecosystem ..the individual left to its own devices.. serves the whole’ –dana meadows]
there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. for (blank)’s sake..
ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
otherwise we’ll keep perpetuating the same song.. the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world.. of not-us ness.. of part\ial ness.. perpetuating survival triage.. for (blank)’s sake..
It doesn’t have to end this way. You can reclaim your unique.
again.. almaas holes law et al
Bask in the solitude of the self, hear your thoughts and yours alone.
need 1st/most: means (nonjudgmental expo labeling) to undo hierarchical listening – so we can hear what’s already on each heart as global detox in order to org around legit needs
Burst out in righteous fury. Take your apt revenge for all that’s been done to deprive you of you.
oooof.. revenge=authoritarian ness and cancerous distraction
You are a bellwether for the discontented. Go forth and dismantle the instruments of your oppression. Never let them chisel away pieces of you again. Be whole. Completely and fully you.
rather.. let them go.. (dismantle ness = authoritarian ness.. et al).. again.. otherwise we’ll keep perpetuating the same song.. the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world.. of not-us ness.. of part\ial ness.. perpetuating survival triage.. for (blank)’s sake..
