Fats and the Playboy

Messages from Two Toes Thomas : III

A woman's body is a progeny. When we view the life of plants, animals, the elements of earth, fire, water and air, we get the same feeling of the horn of plenty. What more if that power to procreate is in a human birth with a mind that we now perceive as the possible basis of God's creation.

In the way the woman is observed in her relations with all life, it is in some way consistent with the suggested experiences of the legends, the Lady Gaia, Demeter and her daughter Persephone. But how? Are we implying a direct relation? Would a woman give birth to carrots? Or would a person plant carrots in the arse?

The author Nigel Frith, a professor at Oxford, made the suggestion in his book ' Krishna ' that life is outside the body. It was obviously a matter of insight for the professor but the suggestion was curious. Come to think of it just what did we ever know about life, the life forces and their work in the world?

Among my guides is a person who identifies herself as Fatperson. In my teens I was her playboy friend in some way and we have some familiarity with each other. In retrospect I realize now her relation with my puberty and sexual development. The role of playboy is a staged experience only for the development of the human experience. It relies on talk, a little bragging and an enormous expectation of a person's capability that outstrips anything a man may have actually achieved.

She's an Eyr, the playboy in me eventually discovered his human identity. But not before she tossed out everything about my personality and I re-cultivated it over the last 30 odd years. Its amazing what a person discovers in recovering from an identity crisis!

What began for me as a basic exercise in realizing the self has since grown into issues of progeny, creation, the life forces and the survival of the world. If someone were to tell me today that a madman has taken a bunch of people hostage and he has a nuclear device he is threatening to explode, I would virtually die. The mere suggestion that the world is imperiled, imperils me.

Hemingway made the remark about being involved in mankind … that the bell tolls for each of us. When we come to realize beyond the literature that same thought in the physical experience of the world, it moves us. How does that relate to us as individuals? What does that mean regarding the nature of our being? Food for thought, certainly.
