“EVERYTHING PERFECT IS ALREADY HERE.”
CITRUS BRINGS MY ATTENTION TO THE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE. A REPLICABLE BLUEPRINT SO COMPLEX IN STRUCTURE. HUMANS ARE THE SAME. BUT RARELY WITNESS THE CHOREOGRAPHY AND ORDER OF OUR PARTS.
THE HUMAN/ANIMAL BODY IS INCREDIBLE. I AM AMAZED AT THE BODY’S ABILITY TO REGULATE, TO FUNCTION, WITHOUT A CONSCIOUSNESS TELLING IT TO. IT IS BASICALLY SELF-SUFFICIENT. IT DOES NOT BEND TO THE WILL OR DESIRES OF THE MIND (IF I TELL MY EYES TO BLINK, THEY WON’T). THE BODY HOLDS INFINITE KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION THAT WE OURSELVES WILL NEVER UNCOVER THE ENTIRETY OF.
THE BODY IS LIKE AN AUTONOMOUS AND SELF-LEARNING MACHINE. AN ANATOMY OF PARTS THAT SUSTAINS ITSELF, SUSTAINS LIFE. IT CONSTANTLY ABSORBS NEW INFORMATION/SIGNALS/STIMULI AND RESPONDS APPROPRIATELY. IF WE REPEATEDLY EXPOSE OUR BODY TO PATTERNS AND SIGNALS, IT ADAPTS TO THE INFORMATION THROUGH VARIOUS TIMELINES OF EVOLUTION. OUR BODIES ARE SMART ENOUGH TO NOTE PATTERNS AND CHANGES OVER TIME. WE ARE CREATURES OF HABIT.
OUR BODY IS A MACHINE WHOSE INPUT IS SIGNAL- THOUGHTS, CHEMICALS, CALORIES, TEXTURES, TEMPERATURES, ENVIRONMENTS, SOUNDS, SCENTS, ETC. ETC. ETC. THERE IS A CERTAIN THRESHOLD AT WHICH WE INPUT A SIGNAL FREQUENTLY ENOUGH (IN BOTH AMOUNT AND DURATION) THAT OUR BODY INCORPORATES IT AS A GIVEN PART OF NATURE/LIFE. CALORIES AND EXERCISE ARE TANGIBLE EXAMPLES- WE MAY DEVELOP INTOLERANCES OR AVERSIONS IF WE EAT TOO MUCH OF SOMETHING, OR DEFICIENCIES IF WE EAT TOO LITTLE. OUR BODY STORES CALORIES WHEN WE ARE NOT ACTIVE OR NOT EATING AND EVEN KNOWS WHERE TO STORE THEM BASED ON OTHER FACTORS. OUR BODY ADAPTS TO EXERCISE AND TRAINING, BUILDS MUSCLE, ENDURANCE, STAMINA, ETC.
ASIDE FROM PHYSICAL SIGNALS, THE BODY ALSO RESPONDS AND ADAPTS TO INTERNAL ONES. MEMORY IS A CONSCIOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS. OUR STORED THOUGHTS OF PAST EXPERIENCES INFORM US HOW TO ACT AND ADAPT IN THE PRESENT AND FUTURE. EMOTIONS, TOO. EMOTIONS ARE MANIFESTATIONS OF BOTH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL PROCESSING. OUR BRAINS RECOGNIZE AND INTERNALIZE STIMULI; OUR BODIES REACT AND RESPOND WITH STRESS, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, ANGER, JOY, EXCITEMENT, ETC. WE CONSTRUCT OUR REALITY BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY.
WE CAN SAY THAT OUR SENSES, PRIMARILY LOCATED IN THE AREA OF THE HEAD, ARE OUR WAY OF DIRECTLY MEDIATING THE BODY’S EXPERIENCE. OUR SENSES FEED OUR BRAIN INFORMATION THAT INFORMS HOW OUR BODY WILL FUNCTION, PRIMARILY THROUGH REACTION. IF WE SENSE SOMETHING DANGEROUS, OUR BRAIN PERCEIVES IT AS A THREAT AND TELLS OUR BODY TO RESPOND ACCORDINGLY- FASTER HEARTBEAT, RACING/BLURRY THOUGHTS. WE ARE ATTUNED TO VISUAL CUES, SUCH AS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND BODY LANGUAGE, THAT INFORM OUR BODY IF WE ARE SAFE, IF WE CAN RELAX/ BE COMFORTABLE, IF WE SHOULD BE GUARDED. SOUNDS, TASTES, SMELLS PROVIDE SIMILAR SIGNALS TO OUR BODY AND INFORM IT HOW TO ACT.
OUR BODIES ARE A BALANCE OF CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS PROCESSES. THEY HAVE A FIXED SET OF PARTS, BUT THEIR PARTS ARE MALLEABLE AND ADAPTABLE. IF WE GIVE CITRUS HORMONES, COLOR, A NEW ENVIRONMENT, IT WILL ADAPT BUT ITS ORIGINAL GENETIC MAKEUP/ANATOMY WILL REMAIN THE SAME. AN ORANGE CAN ONLY BE AN ORANGE, AS A HUMAN CAN ONLY BE A HUMAN. WE CANNOT FORCE IT TO BE ANYTHING BUT ITS NATURE, THAN WHAT IT EXPRESSES.

SATURDAY JANUARY 27 1039P
CHRONOLOGY + TIME ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR CONSTRUCTION OF REALITY/SENSE OF SELF/BEING HUMAN. WITHOUT THE PAST, WE WOULD NOT KNOW HOW TO ACT IN THE PRESENT; WITHOUT THE FUTURE, WE WOULD HAVE NO REASON TO ACT AT ALL.
944A
YOU ONLY EXIST IN THE PRESENT. THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN BE IS THE PRESENT
IF MY BODY IS IN THE PRESENT AND MY MIND IN THE PAST OR FUTURE, I CREATE DISSONANCE WITHIN MY SELF
THE WORLD IS ABUNDANT; I AM MORTAL. THE UNIVERSE HAS ENDLESS THINGS TO OFFER. ACCEPT AND FIND COMFORT IN KNOWING YOU WILL NEVER WITNESS/EXPERIENCE ALL OF IT
BASIC PRINCIPLES:

BASIC PRINCIPLES:
- NO ONE WILL KNOW EVERYTHING. THE WORLD OFFERS US ENDLESS OPPORTUNITY AND NOVELTY
- THROUGH RITUAL AND REMAINING OPEN TO THE PRESENT, YOU OPEN YOUR ATTENTION TO WHAT THE UNIVERSE HAS TO OFFER, WHAT IT SPECIFICALLY WANTS YOU TO KNOW
