Chatting with Gravity.


"GRAVITY ACE" ["GA"]: Good day, and thank you so much. So great to have you chat with us.

GRAVITY [G]: You are welcome. Happy to be here. [Like as if I'm not [here] ... What, you ask? Ever here. Get it? As in, never not.]

"GA": You seem preoccupied? What's up?

G: Yes. I was thinking that that it's ironic to be "happy to be here", as if I just walked in off the street. I seem to be something ineluctable, constant, and ever present 
[that is, when words are used, otherwise ineffable].

"GA": I recall Dr. Ida P. Rolf speaking to how Gravity is a constant. A reference, if you will.

G: Yes, I will.

"GA": What? You "will" to be constant?

G: No. My will is constant. Constancy. Con-stance. "With Standing."

"GA": Well, then what is your will?

G: Simple. Keep things straight! Or, for you dumbass ignoramuses ... straighten the frick up! There's more. Lot's more. But, baby steps. You can't reach for the stars if your aim ain't true. So, first, straighten up, and fly right.

"GA": Constant, I get that. But, is there movement in it? Direction?

G: Absolutomento! Straight Up! [Gad! Do I have to repeat myself on that?!]

"GA": Just up?

G: Look. I'm talking to you about something which is as plain as a mud fence. Maybe you could brush up on your General Semantics?

"GA": Huh?

G: Like you should know by now that "up" needs a "down" to be up. [It works the same the other way.] 

"GA": So there's a polarity?

G: Yes, And, don't let the coming polar shift find you standing beside yourself.

"GA": "Shift"! "Polar"! "Polar Shift"!

G: I'm attempting to say there's a choice. Either to take your sense of things [including, BTW, what you take yourself to be] from your surroundings and circumstances. Or be mindful that you also have a sense of yourself in your own right 
— but to certainly please do factor in your surroundings and circumstances. It's tangible. You're always really aware of it. [Just painted over some.] Try this: Raise your hand. Alright. You know you raised your hand. Right? It's like that. It's just there to see.

"GA": Is that so?

G: Hey! Wakey, wakey. I'm what's so. Not all of it. But, a goldang big part of all of it. My best feature is that I, like I already said, I am "ineluctable, constant, ever present". And, if I may pick on a bone, something that your kind has yet to figure out is that I'm like a source. A source of whatever. And, a source to Source. Wise the F up!

"GA": Language!

G: "Language". General Semantics, bruh! Language is not just in words. There's body language. Sign language. Languages ... so many! The "Language of Love". I have a language. I'm talking to you, sure. But, I'm always talking ... but, not with words.

When you have my perspective the message I'm getting from all over your lovely planet is that things need to be straightened out. I'm deducing that from seeing all the sturm und drang being staged, with the actors unaware that the underlying problem is that they are "at war with Gravity" [props to Dr. Ida P. Rolf for that firm grasp of the obvious].

Maybe since you're going to the Library on General Semantics maybe pick up on Carl G. Jung. You may have heard how he brought to light that what you don't bring to light [from within yourself] will come out in front of you and bite you in the ass, and you'll think it's coming from somewhere other than you. Dig it.

"GA": Straightened out. You mean like living with my body balanced in line with Gravity?

G: Well that is one thing. Body structure. Yet, there's also "straightening out" in the structure of world society. How we've set things up among ourselves. Our psychology.  And, what is working; what's not. Trouble is there are some faithless, bad actors who want to have it to themselves. Zero sum, I think it's called: "Win/Lose". 

"GA": Now you are teaching about something that is not just about tangible physical body balance. But, even so, it might be something that a balanced body would appreciate?

G: Whatever. And, yes. Look. It's just sort of obvious that the world is mucked up, isn't it? Not the Real World. But the made up world; of labels and agreements and concepts. There's plenty of evidence for what I'm talking about. You yourself may have had a moment seeing it's Mashuga!

"GA": Oh, Great One! Please! Please tell us what to do?

G: Kiss my ass! "Great One!" Duh! As if I never was. What to do? What to do? 

Choose: 1. "You do you" [as in same old, same old]. 
Or ... 2. Get yourself right! You! 

Never mind about anyone else. Your problem is that you go around living as if everything is separate. Fool! Wakey, wakey.

"GA": Not much more to say now.

G: Oh, I got plenty to say!

["GA": "Gravity Ace" has just been in conversation with Gravity. Stay tuned for our next visit. Ta ta.]
