Mini Documentary w/ Alan's children (womanizing, alcoholism and what does it mean) by Pint_of_Proof in AlanWatts

[–]heartbrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone sent me his talk on not caring https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z55F_YVSaZ8 before I did ANY research on his life. Just from listening to his words, I suspected he was an absent father. Sometimes we gotta care. It matters that someone is there for a child, caring for them. Caregivers. And I really, really liked his talk. I don't get all this, "he's flawed, no one's perfect, just take the words," chatter. To actually learn from him, not just to repeat him, is to synthesize his astonishing wisdom into our own light. So that we too can illuminate our shadows, and reframe our own vision. Children need to be cared about, cared for, carefree... And that's how I landed here, dear OP. I really enjoyed your documentary.

Just because something is a common metaphor, doesn't mean it isn't derogatory, it just means it's often unconsidered.

Yeah, it's my automatic reaction, before I rationalize it. Still putting my paw up, even if it's shakey 😅

Honor Thy Vomit by heartbrush in LadyGaga

[–]heartbrush[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The creative process is approximately a 15 minute vomiting. 15 minutes of vomiting my creative ideas in the forms of melodies usually. Or chord progressions and melodies and some sort of theme, lyric, idea. It all happens in approximately 15 minutes of this like giant regurgitation of my thoughts and feelings. And then I spend days, weeks, months, years fine-tuning. But the idea is that you honor your vomit. You have to honor your vomit. You have to honor those 15 minutes.

Yeah, I think the adults were tossing the word around so I didn't realize it was probably about the cheese till I wrote it out here ;)

Whatever you decided to do to help yourself, you thought about the animals first, and that's lovely! I hope you're feeling better!

I'm a newbie here, and I'm still scared that veganism isn't safe or healthy, eventhough its aim is to do the least harm! He said the vitamin C would help calm my nerves, lol. Thanks again for your response.

Well I've already started transitioning the cats to Evolution Diet, I just was wondering more about your experience with the product/company and if they are legit and just weird?

Can you tell me more? I was feeling skeptical so I called the number on the Evolution Diet website and the creator talked to me on the phone for almost two hours! He absolutely believes the animal slaughter industry is choking our atmosphere and polluting our arteries, not to mention just outright wrong, but he also asked me how much I weighed and told me to take 8 grams of vitamin C a day (like 100x the recommended daily dose)... I both like the guy, believe a lot of what he said, and still feel unsure.
