Sugar stoned

[Guest guest]

Let me be blunt on the matter. It is not really about the caffeine or the

alcohol. These materials are secondary to the epidemic of " sugar stoned "

accelerated aging, and all its attendant " errors in judgment " . No matter

whether on the hyperactive high/mania side or on the inert low depressive side,

both are spaced out; both are the " new norm " . In popular culture, the addiction

cycle & the glycolizing sugar burn have become the new norm, have by now long

overtaken any older developmental norms ... or remembrance of maturation or

ripening or seeding.

 

The exploration of life as an accumulation at the core of focus, joy or purpose

must by now be re-discovered on an individual basis. It is now a private

matter. Such a reclamation brings with it the possibility of actual

re-membering, activation of limbs unused, a twinge of recovered sensation,

recovery from conditioned neuropathies & paresthesias. Limbs that had been

frozen now move.

 

Let's each be our own Frankenstein, take some responsibility & get this rig

dressed.

 

May we all come to life.

With best wishes again,

never-before-experienced in known history, we have already en masse entered

entirely into a deeply altered state, in fact a series of deeply altered states,

each leaving its own impression on our " topsoil " , central nervous system,

connective tissue, gut lining. Some of these impressions can be astutely

guessed by an observer (a la Sherlock Holmes) familiar with the pertinent

" pathways " (historically statistical likelihoods).

Our individuality is mapped of these layered exposures, the impression upon each

layer typical for that particular time/place exposure. With mobility of each

particle, these layered impressions accumulate a sort of moire as if seeing

through a series of screens, increasingly individuated & complex.

Consider huge variance from individual to individual in cumulative toxicities &

deficiences. These are ascertainable, not subtle at all. Just clinically, by

measurement & sign, not mere subjective symptom, swings your point all the way

to pointless. If I may say.

" alteration " . We've already been down so long we can only go up. Most people

are already so confused that the slightest alteration actually helps to clear

the head. Kind of like windshield wipers. & certainly preferable to the

cinched up tanked up double martini shot o'brandy or the caffeine or other rush

which create the speeding juggernaut we're on with all its approved errors in

judgment. Really. Let's not compound our peril with sheer silliness.
