Solioonensius - The Video
Enjoy this short video on the cosmic doings with this election and moving beyond blame.
I WOKE UP FEELING THE OVERWHELMING SENSE OF SHOCK AND DESPAIR AMONG OUR PEEPS...
...and while I was texting a friend, the words came out, "We need an Emergency Dinner Party."
And it came to pass. Last night, salmon with coconut curry sauce plus "Solioonensius" were on the menu.
Finding hope amid a gob smacking shit show does not come easy. But, my philosophic mentor, J.G. Bennett advised this very thing. I shared his talk on this strange word Solioonensius and it received way more interest than my own posts -- no surprise.
For the Emergency Dinner Party, I invited actor Patti Tippo to read while I provided slides and music. Alas, the tech wizard failed to press the record button, so I recreated the presentation just for my readers as a video.
I'm not sure if people got it, but two proof points to consider:
1) Hillary Clinton famously lost by calling the Trumpers "deplorables. I know... the other guy "won" by speaking foul of every human being that ever crossed his path. So, why this double standard? And I answer: Just because the dog catches the car, does not mean it "won."
2) Right before the election, I attended a friend's Supernatural Sutras class, a soul-stirring psychic cleanse yoga event. We were asked to bring paper and pen to write what we were prepared to give up. I came with my offering in mind, but as the pen hit the paper, a word came out I didn't expect: "Bellyaching."
Holy sh*t, you can't give that up! I thought. But the kvetch was out of the bag -- I gave it up. Oy!
It proved to be a timely sacrifice after my eight months of solid sacrifice toward the election came to an inglorious end Tuesday night.
But J.G. Bennett came through. The script uses Bennett’swords, plus Laymon Pascal's apocalyptic litany, plus thoughts of my own. In lieu of Patti's narration, you get me.
