there is a core fear i associate with the Bay Area, with Evangelion, a lot of my life, that is like a fear for existence, that it’s precarious and we’re hanging on by a thread

it’s a bit like this. you can look happy normal with friends and otherwise ordinary looking life but in the energy body there is a knot, it runs deep https://t.co/m2rlzZq1Ym

even today, when i’m really happy and simple, i sometimes look back at my shoulder and see if there’s something out to get me in that moment, i listen. i listen, listen, listen https://t.co/4AK38vrGOV

the craziest thing is no one tells you, looks at you, talks to you about it it’s like you’re carrying a huge hole behind you in your chest and no one can see it https://t.co/xiaHeKl2J3

I’m really glad I began caring about this happiness thing because no one else was really going to. https://t.co/bgJcNhDI9C

they look at you like a normal person, and maybe you are. maybe the feeling of not being a normal person is one of the characteristic traits of this feeling (cptsd)

no one is talking about it no one tells you there is something very very wrong there’s no cultural context, script, and holding for it — which is sad because it’s such a common and actually not too difficult to fix feeling

a culture that talks and knows about separation from belonging has more of the tools to repair it even in just acknowledging that separation, something happens. existence happens https://t.co/3qmVfEfBLA

if you suffered a formative lack of mirroring, you seek mirroring over and over again as a confirmation of your existence

the belonging that is intrinsic to being alive when we are with our experience happens

we are always held by our earth (our body). that is non-negotiable. it has been already happening https://t.co/5mTBkCQMy1

started reading "eastern body, western mind" by anodea judith on @nuanceexists's recommendation and feeling extremely called out by literally everything she says involving the root chakra what do you mean "the right to be here" 🄺 https://t.co/4GS2N13mqq

she talks about it in the way i describe. like it’s an entirely normal, expected feeling. the missing right to exist. this is why it happens. here is a cultural blueprint for repair

it’s not surprising to her, because the wisdom-culture she’s drawing from hasn’t lost the language for these things https://t.co/Vk88tjMOwG

some societies just had more words for different kinds of experience, trance, feelings of god, belonging this isn’t a vague notion. they might literally have a shared experience— and shared language— of in this dance, there’s these different progressions of trance and feeling

@dschorno so many things. so so many things. the social support, the cultural intelligence of what to do with you, the personal capacity to stay with present moment experience

@dschorno it's not trivial to get someone from A to B if they have very few of those things. but it is a simple thing overall https://t.co/F42fYYr184

life is much the same move over and over again, of staying with your present moment experience https://t.co/OSHdr0Ytd3
