Embodying Musclemonk Day 7, 1-7-2025
The discovery of a radical new body part and with it a radical new form of cognition. This is how to meet the metacrisis head on. Stage Fright I am finding that one of the most difficult things about embodying Musclemonk in addition to imposter syndrome is stage fright. I am looking for an improv…

The anatomy of the universal patterns of the subconscious.
The anatomy of the universe patterns of our subconscious –The subconscious patterns of our animal intelligence are reducible to a handful of highly metaphorical adaptive micromovements.— In chapter 3 of June Singer’s biography of Carl Jung, The Boundaries Of The Soul, she talks about how Jung, working with others, figured out that the unconscious was…

The Solution Is Within Each Of Us
The Solution Is Within Each Of Us We are living in a time of crisis. We are dangerously disconnected from the Earth resulting in serious ecological catastrophe. We are also alarmingly disconnected from each other resulting in tremendous polarization, hostility and weaponization. We are also very seriously disconnected from our own bodies, resulting in chronic…

Self aware, self directed, self healing, and self evident.
Self aware, self directed, self healing, and self evident. While it is visibly obvious, the fact that these bones act as the coordinative center for the junctures and sensory stations they are at the center of is self evident because you possess them physically.

Anatomy First in the Somatic Revolution. Everyone is focused on the brain. However I am deeply certain it is not the brain that does the heavy lifting but the body (and its environment) that does the real work, or at least the really interesting work. Perhaps the brain is more like a servomechanism that is…

The somatic spectrum starts in your body.
There is something magical inside of me. Can you feel it? Don’t live in your head only— come deep within with me, Musclemonk, into the visceral anatomy of the deep core, our breakthrough animal intelligence. Our inner awareness is the last great frontier and the best refuge for our collective instinct for survival. Sexual energy…

Boycott the fantasy because it has become a nightmare.
Boycott the fantasy because it has become a nightmare. Given the situation our top level leadership should not be busy asking me for $47. Shouldn’t they be working on a different angle by now? This is imbecilic. Truly shockingly stupid. The mafia is now bigger than the government and has bought the government purely on…

A Handful of Bones
A handful of bones How close are you to your own inner truth? Our collective destination is only that far away. Look how quickly the world is changing. Rapid change is possible, obviously. If change that is far far too rapid is possible, then why not the change we all truly desire, the evolutionary imperative…
