The Tyranny of Distraction

article image placeholderUploaded by @All2beholdyou
I think this conversation can include everything from trauma, of which I've known that more of a manic manifestation, distraction, ADHD, all of that can have trauma origins in which your nervous system is essentially unregulated, which I could definitely relate and claim that experience in my life, but also that often in the space of my distractions, can I be freakishly creative? So it just kind of depends, where is my energy? How do I experience it?

Just so you know a little about me, I am a theologian, I do believe in God. One God, that's me. That's my thing. I also am a student of Taoism, I am a student of Buddhism, I'm a student of Judaism and I am a student of every world religion that has ever existed, ever. I'd like to study everything and my choice is the holy bible for a reason and I don't push that on anybody

tyranny of routine/focus

I kind of have to go cold turkey on things like, oh, I'm going to have to be off of social media for an extended period of time. And then I just delete the app off of my phone, and then in a moment, I'll call it weakness, redownload it, and then scroll for a second and feel, like, guilty because I did the thing and then delete it. So I'm also trying to find a balance of the softness and the okay to be distracted

And yeah, maybe I'll start some conversations surrounding it, or maybe that I'll pull up excerpts and maybe fellow artists and creatives, fellow divine observers, can glean from the wisdom, as you say, the beauty and all the wisdom that is present in the experiences of this life. So thank you so much, rooster. Looking forward to being your friend as well. Would love to hear. You're like an energizer bunny

And I lived this season of hyper focus, this season of what you're saying, the tyranny of the routine. I had to, I think, in the course of grad school was the only way I was going to survive and do what it is that I wanted to see out of my personhood, like the ideal of my personhood. And so I appreciate you for bringing up that contrast of often where we can live in the structures. And I'll just say it, structures are safe structures

So, number one, thank you. I'm having a bit of an issue right now in personal life, and that comment made me feel really good. Wow. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Rick Rubin is a fan of. Not a fan. I'm a fan of Rick Rubin. I would love to. You should definitely open up a conversation. Just go start this well egg now and we'll talk about it. But, yeah, Rick Rubin is a hero of mine
