I would never reply tldr.
Anyway that scrappy Pedro is gone.
You honor me with your comments.
The one thing that frustrates me about not knowing every language is, I always wonder if the poem is superior in the original language and I will never be able to appreciate that.
It also frustrates me about reading the translated thoughts of well basically anybody.
But then there’s the fact that the words are not even the original translation (or meaning before original representation), even if in their mother tongue.
I was sitting there and I felt you guys deserved to share it with me. The flowers especially were really incredible. As if floating above the grass in reverence of God.

…at least you didn’t say in reverence of some astrological bull honky.
If you have seen beauty in your own language, you can understand, overlay, that that fresh beauty exists in the originial. Then with the translation, you can have both incomplete pieces separate and enjoy them. After all, it did transport you there. How different can it be?
That’s how I have done reading through translation, specially for poems
Reverence is for God.
Most of my poems have been in English. But my core speaks in Spanish. I feel if I want to stop hiding, if I want to find the child, I have to use my honesty toungue, so to speak.
By the way, that doesn’t mean I can’t be honest in English. But I do think I have to be talking to someone. If I’m talking into the void, or into my own dome space, or into the future, then English becomes the language of the movies, good for hiding behind. I also happen to love English a lot. It is a flowing water of a language. It takes so well to meter without sounding forced.
I feel thawed already. There is a long way to go.
No you truly have a gift to be versatile in both languages.
Honesty and truth is a form of reverence, and astrology is a form of bull crap.
And sings. Very well. I wonder if you sing as well in English, though?
Thank you.
A year is a handy measure for things. A moon is, also. One simply decides that the entire neighbourhood is pretty handy. And it’s fun because the way to dig ever deeper is through science. The eccentricity of Pluto’s wobbly orbit in relation to the general translational direction of the Solar belt. Etc. You can go exactly as deep as you want. And since they are all constant measures of useful lengths, you can use them to keep track of things. And so on. If you ignore it completely, you lose nothing, and if you keep track of it, you don’t add anything. It’s just a dependable point of reference. It also is tied to the birth of every religion. People gaze at the stars and feel something. So you tie one thing with the other.
Yeah I think it sounds pretty much the same. I did a few a few years back as a joke with some of the people here. I think it sounded about the same. A part of me wishes I had been a singer. But professional entretainment is almost unfailingly a form of prostitution borne out of trauma. That’s why artists are such delicate and troubled things. Notoriety worries me. Anyway, thank you for the compliment. I enjoy the idea that it is true.
Having said that, and it’s funny because it was an astrology person that said this to me: it is said that people that are attracted to astrology are survivors of severe abuse.
Now I’m going to say something that will put me in crazy freak category with you. But you deserve my idea of what I think is the truth. My honesty.
Psychic powers also exist. There is only one thing that gives people them: severe childhood abuse. Severe. Orson Welles, when asked, said he had seen too much not to believe in that, but that he recommended just ignoring it, there was no need. The reason he said that is that he knew psychic powers are always a very very bad sign. It’s a survival mechanism. Apparently thoughts have ways of travelling other than just words or simple body language, whatever that way turns out to be.
Like Welles, though, having said all that shit, I say this: ignore it, you are missing nothing.
The healthy way to dig into the brain is through Freudian psychoanalysis. It adds up to the same anyway.
Some prophets mock the ones who worship the creation. You could compare it to men who worship the female form, all women who worship the male form, or humans who worship the human form, and forget the actual person.
This sort of language is exactly identical to when you call things dirty or clean and yet you have the messiest room I’ve seen in quite some time… and pay for sex. Unless you made that up.
Thank you for the opportunity to release some of my pent-up snark.
You should do a Bible study on spiritual gifts. We can’t “blame”/credit everything on/to abuse. There are well-adjusted people with good upbringings who have spiritual gifts. People want to reframe them as “psychic powers“ — but that is pseudoscience. They are not innate abilities (they are divine social capacities that do not happen in isolation) and some of them are false because they’re not in alignment with the true source. It’s interesting that the prophets used to be called seers… and those in power have been trying to use religion like magic and for influence … and nothing changes much. It is an abuse of power to influence out of alignment.
I may be due for some mocking.
Yes, but it was obviously self referential. I meant that I think I am the same as them, and want to avoid what I think may have been a mistake on their part. I don’t think, for example, exquisite as it was, that singing did Amy Winehouse any good. She needed help, not sexual idolatry.
Yes, you start getting into what religion actually is, which is a crossover with magic and what I agree to call the source. I think you are hard on people that have tried to formalize it. I agree on the distinction you make. I also think that most seers are benevolent traumatized people, who use their power for good. But, playing the numbers, considering the source, the whole thing is best avoided. It takes much, watchamacallit, purity. That’s the wrong word. Reverence.
I also agree on the “social not in isolation” “not quite so simplistic” notion. I give simple descriptions with the only aim of pointing at things. People that know the things will quickly find them that way, and people that don’t will be safe with the simplification.
I also think, even for benevolent seers, I can almost not imagine a situation where bringing the subconscious trauma into the light of the ego is not a more important task than bending the power for good. The id will always overpower you because, if it’s not under the ego, it is not under your control.
Which is not to say that the divine doesn’t work through people.
It has worked through you, most definitely, and through Nial.
I do not understand the ways of God. This is the way I worship. I can listen for him. And it makes me very happy when I find people that worship him like I do. So rare these days, and such a joy. Yeah, worship is the only real word. Gratitude and reverence don’t quite cover it. So easy for people not to understand the joy of it.
So thank you.
Gosh, you sure know a lot about Amy Winehouse.
The id IS you (what you value). As is the super ego (what you do). As is the ego (what you are). Each one of those can overpower distort if they are not in alignment with the others, and all three are not in alignment with original personhood.
Meaning “before” representation has not left itself without witness.
…have you ever bleached your hair, by any chance?
Bleach a mf hair? Why?
