Whew. This is a lesson for me if there ever was one. For as much poly-consciousness as I like to talk about from the pulpit, I too find the practice of it very challenging at times, especially since we’re all trying to practice poly-thinking in a mono/duo overculture. It’s my job to talk about things like this, sure… but it’s also my job to be engaged in wrestling my own inflexibility and petty annoyances. I think it’s the fact that I apply these techniques and practices to myself before ever inviting others to do something similar.
What I’m seeing in myself, as these inflexible areas reveal themselves in more and more subtle ways, is that I’m attached to a non-existent moment, a fantasy outcome if you will. In other words, I get stuck on one thing. On the “this”.
Well, the cure for “this” is “that” (or another “that”, or another, etc. etc. etc…)
In short, if we can’t do this, why not give that a try?
What happens if we run out of the long, long lists of “this and thats” and we’re only left with ourselves?
Well… then may we always remain flexible enough to be a good person.
That’s always enough.
