Children. Kids. Angels, every one of them. Our little bundles of joy. Pure as the driven snow. Full of life, and life's potential.

So, look. Those little brats may be God's gift, but they didn't show up ready to go. They gotta learn some things. Education. How to live in the world. Big subject. I do have something to share about that. Parenting ... that too. Per Joseph Chilton Pearce, "If you want your children to be the way you want them to be, you be the way you want them to be". But not chapter and verse, just the central, core stuff. On parenting, that's all what's gonna be said. On knowing how to work the world ... there's one point not to miss.

So ... pay attention!

We all live under the influence of the Force of Gravity. No exceptions. Born that way. Nothing new about that.

Yet ...

On account of Gravity being so constant, ever-present, and everywhere we don't notice it, as such. Like, ask a fish, "How's the water?" ... those buggers would be clueless. Never mind that fish can't talk; or understand English. That is, as far as we know. Maybe they have their own language and us Humans aren't in on it. 

Anyway ...

Gravity has its effects. It pulls you down. It also lifts you up. Did you know that second one? "Centrifugal" it's called ... "moving away from the center". The all too familiar "pulling down" part, that's called "Centripetal".

We know lots and lots about Gravity. Intellectually, mathematically, practically, and personally. As very young children we learn to stack blocks; what it takes to get them to stay one on top of the other. Who hasn't stacked blocks up to as high as possible before they all come tumbling down? This is preverbal stuff. On the other side of the smart spectrum, there's that we have figured out how to send rockets to the Moon — toward our  dastardly enemies too. On an everyday level, we know when the picture on the wall is off kilter; or, if we drop Mama's prize thin porcelain tea cup it's gonna fall down and most likely break. All practical, useful knowledge. And, tuck that pinky in whilst consuming said tea beverage. Kapische?

But, what do we know of Gravity itself, that is how it works on our physical body? Not like a tight rope walker. That's outer stuff. Like fish know about water. Well, not that they notice. But, when they jump into air out of the drink, you can be they feel the difference.

So, then ... feeling Gravity. And ... kids.

Indispensable but often overlooked life lessons ...

We all want our children to have the best in life; early on, in their education. Yet, we don’t pay much, if any, attention to a set of life lessons that will affect them throughout their lives. Learning how to deal with the physical world, particularly the constraints of the force of Gravity.

As infants we learn to sit up. To crawl, to climb, to walk, to run. The important point in this is in that area of basic life skills we are mostly self-taught. To some extent that’s as it should be. But that’s not the whole picture. Some of the individual patterns we’ve developed may be inefficient and limiting. [Just look at how we all have the same parts, yet how differently we use them.] 

We grow up with an individually unique mix of random patterns fixed into the makeup of our bodies. Mostly it's taken as “that’s the way I am.” Well, you didn’t start off that way, did you? Genetics you say? There’s that. But, how we’ve come to actually use our genetic inheritance, that’s learned. And, again, self-taught.

Why leave that area to chance? Only to take action when "something happens". 

Rolf Structural Integration is the peerless and definitive teaching for the basic life lesson of using your body correctly. It’s based on well-understood science. Training the individual toward the uprightness and symmetries inherent in the Anatomical Design of the body. Training the simple Physics of balance in respect to the dictates of Gravity.

This guy named Dave goes to the Doctor with a concern. Okay, stop a minute. BTW This is about a guy named "Dave". That's the writers name too, but it's just a coinquidink.

You see first there was a obvious pattern to it. Dave would be steppin' out on the town as is his per usual, and seeing him his friends would say, "Dude, you don't look too good! Real bad. Whassa matter, Boy?" Dave snap back, "But, I feel fine!" "Peachy keen!" "Fine and dandy!" "Spot on!" "You jivin' me?"

This exchange would go down often enough however what to make Dave think it's time for a visit to the old Doc.

So, there he goes. One step into the Doctor's office and the Doctor gets up abruptly, runs over to him and grabs hold of him: "Get in here, Boy! You ain't lookin' so good! Bad!"

"Now, what seems to be the trouble?"

"Well, Doc, that's just it. Everybody's tellin' me that I look bad, but I feel fine! Damn good, in fact. What goin' on, huh?"

"I see", says Doc. 

"Let's see", says Doc.

He's called "Doctor" [or "Doc" for brevity, if you're into that thing. (TU The Dude ... The Big Lubowski.)] But, he's not a Doctor in the conventional sense. No formal schooling. Self-taught, but well and thorough. And, kind. Worked it down to the Four Pillars of Health". Some use the term "whittled". "Quintessence" if you wanna get fancy.

The Doc reaches for his obviously well used, self-published book of symptom diagnosis.

Studiously leafing through the tome ...

"Let's see ... 'Looks good, feels good'. No, Boy, that definitely ain't you!

"Looks bad, feels bad." Nah.

" 'Looks good, feels bad.' No, that not you neither. (We got plenty of pills for that!) And I know a really good plastic surgeon."

"Okay. I got it! Here you are ... 'Looks bad, feels good'.

The anticipation is killing poor Dave. "So? So? What is it? Tell me!"

 "Boy, you a Pussy!"

Going beyond all objects and subjects is the king of views.

Absence of distraction is the king of meditation.

Absence of effort is the king of conduct.

Absence of hope and fear reveals the fruit.

Beyond the objects of concentration, the nature of mind is clear.

There is no path to walk—you have already entered the path of the Buddha.

There is nothing to get used to. When you get used to this, you have attained the unsurpassable.

We can accept the doings in Gaza now that Bibi has clarified for the world that those critters are Amelekites [sub-human]. Lord knows, we don’t want to contradict the Chosen One of the Chosen Ones, that would be anti-Semitic.  Or the goings on with Iran, for what reason* is not at all clear. Just a bunch of "untermenschen" anyway over there too. BTW don’t forget the "goyem" around the world; useful idiots all. 

But, oil at $200.00 per barrel[?]... we must draw the line! C’mon.

*This just in: Since we’re justifying things on — ahem — Biblical exegesis — not by any means scholarly, but for purposes of self-serving, political convenience, some say— it turns out that after all the rhetoric is sifted through we’re in for an apocalyptic experience. 

No worries. That is, if you’re a Good Jew**. Or, a Christian zionist; but only the good ones of those bunch of literal Bible thumpers.

 

**Like Bibi.
