NO RIGHT WAY

JOHN MCINTOSH

 There is no ‘right’ way to approach Truth. No special postures or diets, no meditations or disciplines, no mantras or chants, no cell or DNA activations or special dispensations from other dimensions or star systems … nothing of any description places you on some ‘right’ path. Where you find yourself at the moment, no matter how dark or light it may ‘seem’, is Perfect for the expansion of the Awareness of Who You Really Are.

 YOU [the Real YOU - the SELF] has never NOT been, has NOT somehow disappeared until some arduous gauntlet has been navigated - NO … YOU ‘are’ now and always the SELF, temporarily veiled behind the clouds of conditioning you have taken to be an identity called ‘me’ … little, frail, limited and unworthy. None of this is more than a tissue paper before the Pristine Beauty that YOU Are … as the SELF. Dissolve the conditioning and this ever-Present Truth is revealed.

Watch this space.

Oh, hello!

I think I am finally ready to resuscitate this improv blog. Several things kept me from it for the better part of the last year. Chief among those things was a mounting internal pressure that I had to do this “right.” That feeling built up until I felt so stuck I couldn’t write anything no matter how hard I tried (and oh, reader, I tried!), feeling that nothing I wrote could ever live up to what I had written before.

It’s taken me months to realize that all I really had to do in this space was to be myself. There is no perfect, there is no right, there is only doing.  

More to come. In the meantime, here’s one of my favorite Sleater-Kinney pictures of all time because this is my blog again, so why the fuck not?

Writing down quotes and thoughts on Americanah, post dumping all day tomorrow. Right now I just want to point out one of the myths they taught me in high school about creative writing. 

Always start in the middle. Everyone has had a version of this. You should always start in the middle of some action. The character is in the middle of something. But we're almost halfway through the book and we are still in character development. 

AND IT'S FINE, TEACH. 

There's not even a hint of the conflict that was described in the book jacket. 

AND IT'S FINE. 

She's been getting her hair braided for 200 pages. 

AND IT'S FINE.  

We're doing a lot of retrospecting, reminiscing, and observing. 

AND IT'S FINE. 

IT'S ALL GONNA BE FINE.

Work it out

There's no right way to workout. There's no "this is better, do this." It's do what you want. You wanna do squats, go for it. You want to only commit 30 mins on the elliptical, do it! Every workout is a workout. No matter how lengthy or not, how extreme or how mild, it all counts...so don't drive yourself crazy and enjoy your journey.
