Perhaps because I've lived in a downtown urban environment 24/7 for well over a decade, a hustler, of any sex, is something more like a house plant to me :lol:. I've accepted their social role as a part of my home, if that makes sense, so it just doesn't worry me or have any great significance for any, or even one of the wrong sexual preference, to manifest in my dreams.

Instead, I'm drawing significance and meaning beyond their superficial role.  Their presence and the atmosphere of the environment would feed me a complex array of emotions - perhaps a glint of optimism, naivety, tiredness, worn-outness, seediness, while their social role and what they want and expect from me takes a backdrop.  It makes sense that these dream characters' roles and emotions are internally generated by the psyche, different aspects of myself than what I consciously identify with.  At the same time though, the social roles and emotions I read from others in waking life are on some level pretty much the same thing, and the dreams effectively run off that same psychic energy, albeit with internally generated fodder.

Pretty cool video, seems like she should teach in elementary school rather than high school, maybe when they're 10yo.

I like this discussion :smile:

What I find useful some times is the concept of a yantra. A human can be a yantra. It is a mechanism. It can hold some secret or idea to be revealed. In that vein of thought there is a lot which can be unraveled from the human experience which will remain hidden if one does not seek it.
Different experience shall be revealed depending on which controls ya press and what you feed it. Many archetypes are within and they can be revealed into similar yet very different experiences depending on the 'input'.
One thing which should be remembered with DMT space is the neurochemical change. The change also triggers abilities. I am talking about abilities which made the folks who 'discovered' harmala to call it telepathene. This effect is absent in dreams. For me I find that while there is a LOT of crossover between dreams and various psychedelics there is a fundamental change with the use of substances. I also feel that various sober trance states, sleep states, meditative states, dynamic states and plant-induced states can be used to reveal more about each other and even combined for cross-over effects to peel back and understand more layers of the yantra.

Good luck making peace with your shadow :wink:

Yes, well, one doesn't want parents complaining to the regional superintendents about traumatizing their little kids. Middle school didn't have any transgendered kids in my experience, but high schools in Miami-Dade did, and sometimes they'd be trotted out for our meetings. One really couldn't talk about doing sexual things until age 16, where Florida law permits consenting sex between 16 and 23 year olds. At 18, the limit is extended from 16 to whatever.

Did she talk about anything gratuitously sexual?  From the minute I watched it was about differences between biological sex, gender roles, and one's gender identity... Didn't even particularly press sexual orientation.  Parents can cope with it imho, 4th/5th graders still have some sense of individuality and authenticity from what I remember, get them to think  before they're assimilated into middle school :shrug:

In theory I agree with you, in practice it's different. I was called to the principal's office twice by parents who wanted to know why I was teaching 6th graders about subliminal messages pertaining to sex. I told hem both times that in the course of teaching communication skills to kids, and non-verbal communications came up, the kids were bringing Disney subliminals with sexual messages to my attention, and they wanted to know why. Parents typically saw their kids as 2 to 3 years younger than they actually were. I remember talking about decision-making, one of the themes of my curriculum, and said that you often can't be two things at once like citizen and criminal, or kind and cruel, when up went a 6th grader's hand. "What about a dominatrix?," he asked me. I was taken aback. Yes, a dominatrix probably can combine those opposites, but I was surprised to hear this level of synthesis from an 11 year old. He parents might have fainted.

I see your point, but she just gave me the impression that she was talking to children and not 16yos., so I was somewhat surprised when I saw the caption saying it was high school.  Then again, by 16 I was off doing post secondary enrollment in college, and anything less than a lecture on gender studies would have seemed patronizing.  :lol:

I hate the idea that we have to treat children as if they are less intelligent than they really are to placate some parents.  I wish more parents would treat their children as if they were intelligent, would make all the difference imho.

I have seen a graduation or two, and I have seen kids from North Miami Senior High (a very 'ghetto' school) go to Harvard and MIT. BUT, "by-and-large" (as Ms. Oleksiak, my 12th grade sociology teacher used to say), a vast majority of kids from Miami are anti-education. This corner of the USA has been satirized, and rightly so, for being a 3rd world population. Miami-Dade County is uniquely a population where immigrants far outnumber native-born Americans. And while the population does have its share of professionals among the primarily Cuban and Haitian immigrants, don't get me wrong, there are more STD and especially HIV infected people, including a Huge population of kids, than any other city in the entire USA (and for at least 10 years). Why? Because they remain ignorant no matter how soon (elementary school) education on this stuff begins. This is just one example, because I was on the front lines of this stuff for almost 3 decades, and I'm familiar with it. Miami-Dade County is a sprawling expanse of anti-intellectualism and an urban aesthetic that seems to dote on 'gangsterism.' If reading has decreased nation-wide, I have to go to the next county to find one last remaining B&N in South Florida. All the used bookstores have vanished. You'd have to visit thrift shops. Twittering 140 characters is about the attention-span of a gnat, or the average South Floridian (no offense to those South Floridians I am friendly with. We wouldn't be friends it this invective applied to you).

Treat the kids intelligently? Yes, I did my best to rely on reason, never bullshit, but when your parent[s] is/are fucktarded too, it often fell on deaf ears. I had a family once where the husband was a terrible drunk. On one occasion, the wife put the baby in the front seat with the drunk-driving husband (no baby-seat of course), with her 'reasoning' that he'd HAVE to drive more safely with the baby up front. We're talking a long heritage of fucktardedness that gets attracted to the Sunshine State. Women want ONLY to be 'hot.' Men want to be 'cool.' You'd think the result might be a hedonistic 'warmth,' but oddly enough, the population is 'cold' towards one another, especially if you don't appear to be of the same 'tribe' as whomever you encounter. Both me and my wife used to hear from kids, "You too friendly!" Excuse me for not being reptilian. Maybe that explains why so many 'cold,' hostile, reptilian people come here - to bask in the sun with the other lizards and crocodilians. :smirk:  Maybe this is where the myth of reptilian aliens hails from, but they're illegal aliens not the extraterrestrial type. :shrug:

Ah, my life here in Oregon is actually pretty different.  In my assessment, we have very little of that element of thuggishness, people aren't particularly cold-blooded.  A lot of the crime that hits headlines seems motivated out of mental illness.  Perhaps my dream characters correspondingly mirror more human values, where a homeless prostitute that might manifest is still full of human emotion, so I don't experience that sense of dread.  :shrug:

We've been watching the show 'Dexter' and are now coming to the final season. Clearly, it was not filmed in Miami, except for brief out-takes. But the fact that the show's creator chose Miami to illustrate the numbers of psychopaths that the arch-psychopath Dexter kills, cannot be an arbitrary choice. I've been living in a 'quiet' neighborhood, bounded but not gated, one way in and out, for 17 years. There were 108 (I found significant at the time) houses until they built another 8 or 10.

There have been 5 gunmen who attacked the wrong house on a gun deal gone bad, and ended up shooting and killing a couple of little kids at a birthday party. One bloody woman ran screaming to another house whose resident I used to work with. There has been a hostage situation with SWAT poised on roofs on another occasion. The FBI surveilled for months an illegal music distributer who used to carry large bags of cash home. The same house became an illegal Botox clinic after the music mogul got arrested.

A guy on my street whom I refer to as 'The Pimp,' used to have his 'minions' of miscreants on cells trudging back and forth with their pants sagged to their knees. Rough trade looking guys on expensive, neon-lit, wide-tire choppers used to show up at night. he held parties and valet parking (in the local Winn-Dixie lot), has domed cameras on every corner of his large house. Hookers could be seen in his windows, and coming and going, inducing 2 families to move out. I used to see a white refrigerator delivered, and one removed, every week for many months! :wtf: Trafficking?

A good kid who used to be my student, was accidentally killed by his friend showing him a shotgun when he left for college. My own house had a large window smashed, but the alarm chased off the burglar. My next door neighbor who was house sitting probably killed and ate one of my feral cats. Two black cats were left sliced open and in the exact same spot of my back yard, a year apart. My new neighbor there smashed a large planter after I called code-enforcement on him. He is renting his house out to maybe 7 people, tore out a bathtub which he dumped in the yard, and installed a washer-dryer in a shed (which should have been 5 feet from the fence, but was against the fence, and which has cost me money in the past, but..). The wash water killed a 15 year old hibiscus tree, and is ruining property values, so I called code-enforcement. Another incident and I might call I.C.E. or even the IRS (he's not reporting all his rent income I'm sure).

One house on my street had its Mercedes stolen. The next day the thieves came back, broke in, and stole the title to the car. Next door to them, a gun collection was stolen. My next door neighbor was burglarized for a diamond ring. Someone moved my security light sensor, on another occasion and stole the wheels off that same neighbor's car. Thieves tried to steal his car on several occasions. I ran out of my house, awakened at 3 am in my Jockey shorts with a club when I heard HIS car alarm sound. His window was broken on yet another occasion. He showed me his illegally owned Derringer pistol. They mistreated their German Shepherd for years. I always bought him treats, despite his misery and chronic nighttime barking (for which I installed a remote sonic device, after we tired of using earplugs). The woman there refused to talk to us for 10 of 12 years, and they suddenly moved away without a word (good riddance).

The girl who used to be my student also lived on my street. She cut her wrists at the school where I worked, and I had to jump on an ambulance with her, and remain at the hospital til her parents arrived. A few years later, her mother stabbed herself to death through the heart. The house is still abandoned, and now someone has dumped a mattress on the front door.

On the next street over, a man running for his life, kicked open a random door to a neighbor's house, just as he was shot in the back and killed, dropping dead in their entryway.

I have no idea how many other burglaries have occurred in this 'quiet' neighborhood. I am just noting a few of what I happen to know about in a very small area in Miami over a period of some years. A house burned down next street over. A couple of girls were raped in the defunct golf course behind my house, but now I'm going into the Monterey Apartments, where a dead body remained in a car for hours after cops were called, and where cops have told me how often they go there on reports. Every holiday brings AK-47 fire from those apartments. I'm forgetting a lot I'm sure, but it's just sad. This was a prestigious neighborhood long ago, now it's falling into disrepair, abandonment and HUD housing, but some of the homes are selling at a better price. It's 3.5 miles from prestigious Aventura, FL. I'm rapidly taking on the attitude of the retired about starting over somewhere else. I'd rather not, unless things go further south. :shrug:

In my neighborhood, where 2/3rds of everyone is traveling on foot or bike, my biggest fear is some idiot biker or pedestrian will not be paying attention, break a rule, and get themselves smooshed by my car.  It happens far too often, and virtually always the driver is never cited.  At the end of the street, there's one of those white 'ghost bikes' chained to a street lamp and adorned with flowers.  I ride my bike and walk daily as well, yet somehow manage to do what I'm supposed to.  Something like that would haunt my dreams for the rest of my life.

Did you ever watch Six Feet Under?  Undoubtably my favorite show w/ Michael C. Hall, set the bar incredibly high for what's possible with T.V. imho.  Highly recommend Carnivale & Rome (older shows on HBO as well that have run their course) - and currently Homeland & House of Cards are the best things on television.  Just a thought on what you might enjoy next, since you have more time for media these days.

That sounds horrifying.

Being a knowledgeable man...  What of becoming the collective experience and effectively mixing psychically with all of that horrifying shit.  You know through the awakening process itself and the telepathy and contact that follows.  Oneness and the singularity with the collective shadow.  Wouldn't you go some where else to do psychs.  Suppose you were to open up to some of the worst and then have to balance and be somewhat manipulated by it...?

Thanks, we've seen all of your choice pics. Six Feet Under had the BEST final episode of any show I can remember. We also watch Justified, Breaking Bad, Hell On Wheels, Nikita, Elementary, Masterpiece Mystery: Sherlock Holmes, Downton Abbey, Dracula, Heroes, and Doc Martin (like sherbet to cleanse one's palate between main courses).

A great many people own firearms. When I first moved here in '83 I got pulled over for a burned out tail-light. The cops asked if I had a gun in the glovebox. I was horrified. That was in Miami Shores where the signs read: "Don't Even Think About Speeding." They could tell I was new and let me go with a warning. I know two gun fetishists. A third is on medication and probably isn't allowed to carry.  I do not wish to violate the highest teachings about karma, and so, I am not prepared to shoot-to-kill anyone, so I don't carry. I worked with a lot of kids over the years, and in my old neighborhood, they robbed people on both sides of me, two houses back to back with mine, one across the street from me, but always left our house alone (although they did use our gate to escape and let the dogs out once). These were kid-burglaries, but they left their counselor, me, untouched. My house sports 'faces,' outside sculpture on the house, the tree, Greenmen, mushroom fairies, and a kinda sinister piece of tombstone art carved in Indonesia on the front gate. These little things seem to dispel the move primitive type of opportunistic burglar (there are no known guns, drugs, jewelry, or dope to rob in my house).

my guess is Key West (respective to Florida, or even the 48 contiguous states) but Hawaii is def. further south..

If I moved into South Miami proper (we live outside the City of Miami limits, in Unincorporated Miami-Dade County), I'd HAVE to speak Spanish. Then, I'd find myself in The Hood, South (Perrine, Richmond Heights). Finally, I'd leave Miami-Dade and enter Monroe County, where Homestead is. NOT a happy happy, joy joy place to live IMO. Rural-looking, where you realize that the Everlades could take a growth spurt and you'd realize you're living on the tip of a coral reef with only 2 feet of soil before you hit solid coral, and the water table. You realize down here, that there are no rocks unless they've been imported. You might find chunks of coral if you dig, but no rocks. Alligators would routinely crawl across whatever road you're on, plant nurseries dominate the long country roads through this part of the state, and gangs comprise the youth-culture. Meth-heads appear like its southern Mississippi, which is odd, seeing as how the rest of South Florida has plenty of cocaine.  I don't even know about the amount of illegals taking refuge from Cuba and the West Indies down there, but my wife insists that I don't know what I'm talking about because SHE met someone who bought a lovely place there in the last 5-6 years. Yeah, until the next Category 5 hurricane. Hurricane Andrew left Homestead and surrounding areas looking like any F-5 tornado would leave a place - or Nagasaki on August 9, 1945 (like Hiroshima, but without the remaining famous 'Atomic Bomb Dome' left standing).

At last, you'd come to Seven Mile Bridge which connects the Florida Keys. The keys are like drops of semen issuing from the penile peninsula of Florida, on a map-view. Miami would be a Kaposi's Sarcoma eating away at an already syphilitic member, and its attendant mentality of General Paresis of the brain (Tertiary Syphilis), namely, hostile, impulsive, emotional, sometimes blind or drooling in its rabies-like dis-ease. The Keys promise an idyllic life for the beach-comber, fisherman, parasailor, scuba diver and snorkeler. Properties are affordable if you're a major criminal, or Bill Gates. 25 years ago, a double-wide trailer, 200 yards from the beach, with an asphalt parking lot next to it, was $250,000 on Key Largo when I looked for a property.

The famous Key West has lovely cottages and a Twilight Zone kind of surreality to it. Watching the sunset, en masse, is a ritual which heralds the transformation of friendly folk who by night become intractable alcoholics. I don't get how one can work there if you are not self-employed, and there are very few businesses relatively speaking. Driving from Key West just to Homestead is 127.4 miles, which takes 2 hours and 40 minutes! Seven Mile Bridge is a misnomer. It connects Knight's Key with Little Duck Key. Down there, they call the whole road The Overseas Highway. One day and one night in Key West and I had seen it all. I had cabin fever - outside. I just don't drink enough to fit in, and you can visit Ernest Hemingway's and John Dewey's houses just once before you're over those attractions too. Most southern point of the USA? Yes, but is that something to celebrate, watching 'Wet Foot-Dry Foot' being enacted right before your eyes? Topless and Gay beaches are definitely a draw for the young person, but I am neither. Read Huffington Post - Crime, and notice just how many incidents occur in Florida. Example: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/14/chad-oulson-movie-text_n_4594450.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009

Thanks, we've seen all of your choice pics. Six Feet Under had the BEST final episode of any show I can remember. We also watch Justified, Breaking Bad, Hell On Wheels, Nikita, Elementary, Masterpiece Mystery: Sherlock Holmes, Downton Abbey, Dracula, Heroes, and Doc Martin (like sherbet to cleanse one's palate between main courses).




Truly with the last episode of Six Feet Under, still gives me the chills to think about.  Breaking Bad is a household favorite, and loved the first season of Heroes (but the writing kind of tanked after it for me and I didn't follow it through). I've honestly not even heard of the rest. From what I had mentioned, which do you think I would I like best?

True Blood is also produced by Alan Ball (produced, and directed some episodes of Six Feet Under, as well as the film American Beauty ). Some other older stuff on HBO like The Sopranos & Def Poetry Jam are also priceless to me.  I'm sure you've watched Twin Peaks?  If you haven't in a couple decades, do it again :lol: I got so much more out of it from second watch through. 

Between my last post and this one, it covers just about every T.V. show I've seen in the last decade :lol:  There are some other cute shows on Netflix streaming like Orange Is The New Black, Lillyhammer, and Good Samaritans that make for good palate cleansers, though short seasons, maybe a bit more like slivers of ginger between bites of sushi.  And of course I've watched every episode of Star Trek TNG probably two or three times now :nerd:  Some day I will watch Battlestar Galactica, have been meaning to forever but has sat on the back burner.


--------------------
Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.
