[Don’t be a] Ding Dong - I have bats in my belfry

In another post, I wrote about some dissonance. I made some mention about this weird paradox Milligan inserts into his writing about the use of animals as symbols for dream interpretation.

Cats, Catastrophies, Catalysts, and Bad Indigestion.

Now, it’s time to talk about nature deficit and how vulnerable a reader like myself, can be to influence in that gap of personal nature experience. In my blog here, I mentioned the beginning of my journey wasn’t with a snake [per se] but a cat.

On my trip to Walgreens I ran into a bunny and a cat. I trailed them.

Needless to say, I never made it to Walgreens though I really needed an extra jar of Rolaids for what I knew was coming. I needed to be prepared…. but a bunny crossed the road and I said “squirrel!”

Inherent Charater: Round Two. Or is that Rolaid Two? They're Round - Inherently.

There can always be a little more. What we think is inherent is often simply belief. We are great at following our constellational understandings.

Inherent Characteristics: Rolaids are Round. That's Inherent.

Do you see that Costco sized bottle of Rolaids? Yep, I have that because reading a few pages of Milligan’s Ultimate Guide upsets my stomach. Let’s talk about inherent characteristics for a second of more.

Dream State: Hiccups and Pun Intended.

In my last post I began to cover some of the “in general” struggles I have with Mr. Milligan’s dream guide. This was more to being deconstructing the book to show how there is a nature deficit leaving someone like myself susceptible to further fear and disembodiment.

Dream Nation: The Larger than Life Hiccup

Before I dive into the nature deficit pieces from this book, I wanted to take an opportunity to address some larger issues about the book in general. My main focus in deconstruction some of this book is to tackle how ignorance can perpetuate nature disconnect and human disembodiment.

A Catalyst or Cat-a-list?

In the beginning there was a serpent. It’s true, right? Where does your mind go when you read that line? Well, if you’re someone like me, it’s probably Genesis 3 from a collection of writings known as the bible.

Life of the Mind & Magic Paint

What’s magic paint? There is no easy answer that can fit into a small, shallow puddle of internet blogging. It’s complicated, nuanced, broad, vague, mysterious and nefarious. Why?
