But MUSHROOMS?!!
I took medicine this morning. Nice. Maitake mushrooms. Because I've been feeling slightly indisposed ever since I overdosed on a pot cookie a few nights ago.
I think I must have been feeling a little bit indisposed already. Otherwise I can't explain the really miserable pot experience that I had after eating that cookie. Nausea, you know, and burning in the fires of hell. That sort of thing.
Now I feel like I'm coming down with a cold/flu. So I made miso soup out of about seven grams of maitake mushrooms and some tofu this morning and downed it. Mushrooms first thing in the morning are not my usual way of starting the day and it definitely felt like taking medicine.
Hope it helps.
I'm pretty stupid. Never been able to accomplish a damn thing. I'm so grateful for my organizational principle. I may be stupid and unaccomplished but I do have an effective organizational principle. That is to say I'm capable of holding a job.
The question is are the self and the organizational principle two separate things? Can they be separated?
My impression is that what feels like myself is in fact my organizational principle. Sometimes I hate myself, sometimes I'm critical of myself. Sometimes, particularly if I'm stoned, I love myself, despite being stupid and unaccomplished, and how this bears on my organizational principle is not entirely clear to to me.
Without this self that I sometimes love and sometimes hate could I continue to function? Would I still be able to organize my activity just on the fundamental level of being able to stand up and sit down? Without this self that is the target of such abuse and affection?
When one speaks of dissolving the self what is one speaking of dissolving? Is it the self or is it one's attitude towards it?
If the self could really be dissolved and the person continue to function, that would mean that the self is unnecessary. In the sense of an organizational principle every living thing would appear to have a self, but not every living thing appears to have the complex attitude towards itself that human beings do. Of course words are traitors. Given the slightest opportunity they will switch sides. And "self" is a word.
If I'm letting Linsa and Mindu sleep late this morning it's because I'm in a funky mood. My organizational principle is in the doldrums. But my gut is in the doldrums as well.
One cannot overlook the fact that one's self is rooted in the physical.
The organizational principle can be theoretically capable of action but unable to act due to physical inability.
What do you think of that, Mindu?
Mindu blubbers in her sleep.
30 minutes to Berkeley. I seem to be ahead of schedule. The organizational principle notes this bit of information. Mindu sighs and resumes her undisturbed sleep.
