Boundry-crosser

[Wei Shan Yang]

The Monkey King shouldn’t be cute. He’s a raging id,
a shameless and dangerous trickster. He embodies Lewis Hyde’s
definition of the trickster as “ridden by lust” and driven by
“hyperactive sexuality.”



“Monkey…bears traces of an older lusty beast whose hungers might lead Ghandi himself to buy a gun,” Hyde writes in Trickster Makes This World. “In short, trickster is a boundary-crosser.”~Tales of the Golden Monkey: Terada's Monkey King brought to life

[Wei Shan Yang]

I thought someone would have commented on this...but maybe its too obscure.



Here's what happened. The day I posted this, I originally had went looking for a cute monkey king picture...to put in another thread. I had that image of cute in my mind when on google images. I saw some not so cute monkeys, was intrigued and followed one link. It said "The Monkey King shouldn’t be cute." Spirit answering me. So I absorbed the lesson.



What boundary is crossed? The one of our own direct link to Spirit, and into the social mechanisms. What lures us?...the idea of fulfilling an ego desire...so we are tricked to follow the monkey, ...before we know it we are in another vibration, a wasteful and unproductive immersion in ego games.



Examples we all know of...the tugs of war in politics, talks shows, reality tv dramas, those types of interactions. Monkey's play that's not so cute.



I do like the playful monkey though, believe in its magic, to come in and make us laugh when we are being too serious. So this is just another aspect here of trickster. When its not applied productively. And honestly, its how we learn what not to do, so it needs to first occur, we need to be involved in it to see that it's not worthwhile for us after all.

I found the picture scary, got a thing about monkeys because of the wizard of oz!

[Wei Shan Yang]

Yes, I have read a while back of a scary monkey inorganic that appears in astral realm. I have seen it too, materialize one night as random images pass through...Eilias has a name for that (posted in dream forum)...the pre-dream state. Since I saw that monkey face one night, that gives this here more validity for me, and I do think it has inorganic substance (containment) and can act on its own...try to trick us. Whether or not we created it is not the issue for me, its more the idea of not being in its influence.



lol, the flying monkeys. Yes, I remember you really like the movie, lots of symbolism in that one.

[Wei Shan Yang]

What's really hard to come to terms with is our socialization is really chock full of this, we think we know the world as a warrior, but the social world is very overwhelming. To be in the vantage of a warrior is very humbling, so humbling there is a loss, failure of social words to describe.



The social world, by contrast, is so accessible, so easy, like ready made microwave meals. The trickster, monkey king is our helper, in the most inexplicable way.

[Wei Shan Yang]

And my last post here clarifies an indication received yesterday. I have a monkey mask propped up in my dining room. I looked at it yesterday and it said to me "I'm an ally for Spirit, remember?" and then I became confused by this contradiction of what I said here initially and what was said to me yesterday...and that last post conveys it, yes, it is an ally, the trickster is a liberator...come to free...those who had been caught up already and didn't know it. It merely shows what the trick is.

[Turin Otzaki]

and that reminds me of a debate you and I had once when I said that the 'devil' is the gatekeeper of heaven...think you alluded to that in another post recently, the debate took place because of course on a higher turn of the spiral there is no 'gate' and no 'devil'.....and you were making that point coming from the perspective of nonduality.

I like the idea of the dark side having a useful evolutionary purpose, not to be feared, just dealt with in the right way, and then it becomes an ally.

[Wei Shan Yang]

Yes, its really strange...its like when we see it as evil, that's when the FI has got us so to speak...at the time we least expect it or think its the case.



the evil government

the evil person

the evil control whatever



during this time we are being tricked by...what? I dunno, it seems like we do it, the trickster shows us our tricks, our mind, our illusions, delusions, pride...on and on. Its not us, but there it is in the mix of things, and when we get free of it we are okey dokey, smooth sailing. During this time we are grateful for this monkey, its loses its harshness, its villainy, becomes angelic.



Well, that debate was so long ago...keep in mind I am changing so fast I cannot keep up with all the contradictions as I learn and learn new ways to express. I'm going to stay on the pinnacle of truth, the fact that it changes is just par for course.

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars

My energy's

spent at last

And my armor is destroyed

I have used up all my weapons and

I'm helpless and bereaved

Wounds are all I'm made of

Did I hear you say

that this is victory?

Sweet dreams are made of this

Who am I to disagree?

Travel the world and the seven seas

Everybody's looking for something

Some of them want to use you

Some of them want to get used by you

Some of them want to abuse you

Some of them want to be abused
(Whispering) I wanna use you and abuse you

I wanna know what's inside you
Hold your head up, movin' on

Keep your head up, movin' on

Hold your head up, movin' on

Keep your head up, movin' on

Hold your head up, movin' on

Keep your head up, movin' on

Movin' on!

creepy...I did not know there was a whisper in there!

A beautiful song. I feel its about how we take in the Foreign Installation in the first place...when young.



Incidentally, did you know you can see your face reflected in another's pupils if they are directly in front of you?







Paradise (not for me)



I can't remember

When I was young

I can't explain

If it was wrong

My life goes on

But not the same

Into your eyes

My face remains



(I've been so high)

I've been so down

(Up to the skies)

Down to the ground



I was so blind

I could not see

Your paradise

Is not for me



Autour de moi

Je ne vois pas

Qui sont des anges

Surement pas moi

Encore une fois

Je suis cassée

Encore une fois

Je n'y crois pas



All around me

I could not see

Who are the angels

Surely not me

Once more again

I am broken

Once more again

I don't believe it



CHORUS：

I've been so high

I've been so down

Up to the skies

Down to the ground



There is a light

Above my head

Into your eyes

My face remains



(chorus, repeat)



I can't remember

When I was young

Into your eyes

My face remains



Into your eyes

My face remains

We must break the intent, contract! By intent as well. INTEND INTEND INTEND. THEIR PARADISE, WAS NOT FOR ME.

[Nu Lang]

Hi...this topic was originally in Foreign Installation...but I decided to move it because honestly I began putting so many song lyrics into the thread it became more suited for Tone forum. But still the subject is the foreign installation.



I find music is something I always used to stalk the FI. For one, many lyrics 'fit' what I am feeling, and on another point, the power of the music...bass, drum...like a heart beat, melody, mood of warrior, voice..all fit nicely with gathering intent against it. Music to me is like 'power music'...helps on the path...always has since I was a teen.



Here is a song I was listening to last night, the lyrics are perfect for the fi..

A terrible thought

by POE



A terrible thought has moved into my mind

Like an unwanted room-mate drunk on wine

It feeds on my happiness won't pay the rent

I must take proper measures to evict it



A terrible thought has moved into my mind

A giant rat that's nibbling on my pride

It's tearing away my patience and my wit

I must take proper measures set a trap for it



What a terrible thought



I don't care what you've done

I don't care who you've won

I know in the end you'll have your fun



But you can't have it hear

And I won't let you steer

You know I don't want you in my mind



I must stay calm you know and I must be clear

It's gonna take a hundred thoughts to make this one disappear

A train like that could travel a soul for years

A terrible thought could have a terribly long career



What minds have you shredded

I bet they regretted

Having ever thought you up

Just look at you shine

Commiting your crimes

You know I don't want you in my mind



'Cause you're breaking my stride

You poisonous vine

You're strangling me inside

You're breaking my stride

You poisonous vine

You're strangling me inside

You're breaking my stride



What a terrible thought...



Father :

What is your greatest worry because you seem to be worried all the time



Daughter:

Sometimes I can't hear myself think



Father:

YYou have to speak a little louder,

I can't understand a word you're saying



Daughter :

Sometimes I can't hear myself think

singer Poe (real name Annie)
and this one too..I post a youtube video but it says its a remix so not sure if the song is the same as the one I have.
...its hard to get Poe's music in mainstream...as she is currently on a boycott until her record label contract expires...she was not happy with how they were marketing her so she stopped performing/promoting herself. I think the contract expires this year. She is extremely talented, innovative. (can you tell I like her?)
Her album "Haunted" came out in 2000, around the time LW was starting his website to inform abotu the fi. Haunted is all abotu the fi in many ways...overcoming it. Her (Poe's) interpretation of it in her life.

Control
Don't you mess with a little girl's dream
'Cause she's liable to grow up mean
Surprised you to find that I'm laughing?
You thought that you'd find me in tears
You thought I'd be crawling the walls
Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear
Well you may be king for the moment
But I am a queen understand
And I've got your pawns and your bishops
And castles
All inside the palm of my hand
While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me
I was taking control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control...
This is beginning to feel good
Watching you squirm in your shoes
A small bead of sweat on your brow
And a growl in your belly your scared to let through
You thought you could keep me from loving
You thought you could feed on my soul
But while you were busy destroying my life
What was half in me has become whole
While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me
I was taking control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control...
So this is how it feels
To breath in the summer air
The feel the sand between my toes
And love inside my ear
All those things that you taught me to fear
I've got them in my garden now
And your not welcome here
Come a little bit closer
Let me look at you
I gave you the benefit
Of the doubt it's true
But keep in mind my darling
Not every saint is a fool
While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me
I was taking control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control...
Don't you mess with me
Father: there has to be more to life than this, because in our
confrontation with a cold cold universe, there is something comical
to the idea that we can really impose our will on humanity-- power corrupts!
Daughter :
This is scaring me
Father and daughter 2:
Daughter : ...I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway
Father:
And at the end of it all lies of course the final
phenomenon of deterioration entropy, which is a predictable
disintegrations which the creative life ceases: everything has to fall apart.
Daughter:
Why are you always so serious?!

I love how in sync we are Nu Lang!  It's friggin mind boggling.  This what you say right here, so closely mirrors a convo I was having just a moment ago.

Yes, it's great En...really great
