Datura's Masquerade Party

Women rarely, if ever, dance alone....they need to be seen - it's always social.

And what of circumstance.. ever heard of party-for-one? tho party-for-many has its place, in time.

Yes social.. the social soirée, when in mood and mind.

A Bacchus affair? ..good times, fun times, the best of our lives times.. later realised as memories reminisced, for perpetual feel-goods.

Watch any movie of the last 10 years....and se if you can see the repeating, yet subtle, messaging.
It's become more obvious, recently....confidence born of America's supremacy....

Look into what they are doing to modern mythology and its comic book superhero supervillain genre, marketed to young boys.....of mostly European descent.
They don't even try to hide it any more....perhaps a bit of desperation because the empire is falling.

I rarely watch Hollywood blockbusters.. stopped a long time ago.. not into having my emotions and heart-strings tugged on.. I can do that all by myself.

I’ve watched worldly matters unfolding, but I rarely say or comment.. I knew the world couldn’t carry on how it was.. the vices and vexations of humanity being allowed to proliferate and be. To hate traditional societal codes-of-conduct only proliferated the process, in lawlessness then reigning supreme, and by calling them religions only serves to undermine their ethical teachings.

Finally actually started to enjoy Summer/the weather yesterday (perhaps because there’s no Spring pollen choking me to death), starting with drinking wine in the local park, under a tree.. full of groups of people, equally enjoying their day.. and my Spring-cleaning game is on.. albeit late.

Some guy has blocked my number because I started spamming his phone (I couldn’t help it..), after I got a call from his number a few months ago, saying that he had just received a call from mine.. which he hadn’t. I’m not sure what that was about.. maybe this could have been us: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ;-)

My life is becoming more ordered, even in this chaos that surrounds me.
I don't expose myself to situations without fully analyzing probabilities - even that of the unforeseeable.

Ordered (and simplified/streamlined) yes, but I cannot control the actions of others in real-time.. only those of my own, but I can choose how I react to things in real-time.. by thinking on my feet.

By chaos, do you mean the current state of the World? I do not feel it’s (full) effects from here and I keep all things at arms length, and thus my own personal chaos, at bay.. a skill I’ve mastered, over the years.

Recently, every day I seem to see and experience the world in a new way and through fresh eyes.. my Self, shielding it Self from objective reality.. less stress that way.

Yes, the predictable chaos of the manimal being released from the constraints of culture/civilization - a reversion.
Chaos not in the formal sense, but as a contradiction of cultured man; adoption of an alternative nihilistic mode of being.

Ahhh, that chaos.. I wonder what will finally bring it all under control and assert some semblance of normality?

How could morals and ethics not reach certain human demographics, to mould and form them into better Beings.. many places around the World suffer from this dysfunction of unaccountability.. the rise of the unaccountable.. how to insert accountability into an unaccountable genome. Perhaps Fauci and Gates have a vaccine for that.

Nature will return balance.
Collapse - death - deals with all accumulated unfit mutations.

You should watch the vid I found on Churchill. 
I posted it in Hyperborea.

The one you suggested I watch, a few months back? I never got round to it, if it is that one, that is..

It’s in my playlist somewhere..

This is a new one, methinks.

I didn’t see it.. care to link please.

It's on the Hyperborean site.

Did you see the review of the movie The Believer?

I've never watched the film myself - not much of a movie watcher - but the reviewer gave me the general message...
If you meditate on it you may see why I started the thread [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Why did Freud obsess about sexuality? A similar shame burned inside of him.
Why did Heisman and Weininger commit suicide?
Is not the one & nil two sides of the same coin? A symbol of exchange.
Does not oneness, the singularity, not negate - contradict, nullify - existence just as the nil does?
Binaries.

There are no absolutes, except in the mind.
If they were outside the mind, independent, existing....there would be no world, no life...there would be nothing...there would be void.

I looked for the video.. twice, but didn’t see it on the site. Perhaps it is out of view?

I always liked this piece.

Today was #phantasmagoricallybeautifullysublime

..tired now ..time for sleep, but not necessarily for dreams..

Went for a swim at the city pool with my son. Weather was beautiful.
Calm.
Felt awake.
Then I took a nap after lunch....cod with garlic mash (skordalia)....Greek food, and French steamed green beans.
Garlic always makes me drowsy.

Ha, yea.. I had the same exact 'awakeness' today, but such an awakeness is also very tiring.. because it’s energy-consuming, but most exhilarating.. over all the other states of Being.

Hair-product shopping.. a white rum lunch, because I was too worried about eating out/allergens.. a chicken n vegetable stir-fry dinner, upon returning home.

Skordalia.. sounds like Irish/Scottish colcannon, which is mixed with either cabbage or some other pertinent vegetable, rather than garlic.. it’s delish.

Garlic currently makes me need to be hospitalised, but skordalia does sound nice.. just like humous or a good pâté, they’re nothing without garlic.

Skordalia...traditionally made with potatoes.
A variant can be made with bread and olive oil...more liquid.
You pour it over radicchio greens...
Always eaten with fish.

The bread version sounds a bit weird, but I’m sure that it’s all in the taste.. as they say.

I used to dream of foods.. I could no longer eat, and in those dreams.. I’m feasting on them all, but a dream it shall remain.. because they are kryptonite to my SuperMags.

The sudden downpour that’s just started can lull me to sleep.. not that I’ll need it, in my current state of tiredness.

I’m craving seafood this week.. mussels and/or prawns, or a bisque

The oil and bread variant becomes like a hot dip or spread...chilli oil...only it's garlic oil.
The bread disintegrates and thickens it a bit.

Can't eat skordalia and socialize, unless everyone has it.
The garlic smells on your breathe and sweat for a day.

We have bread sauce here, which might be similar to your skordalia, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried it much.. once was more than enough.

What is bread sauce made of?

A survivor of the medieval bread-thickened sauces, the traditional British bread sauce is made with milk, butter or cream, and bread crumbs, flavoured with onion, salt, cloves, mace, pepper, and bay leaf, with the fat from roasting often added as well. It typically accompanies domestic fowl such as turkey or chicken.

-mmm, yummy.

Did I end up working out yesterday.. the heck I did, i.e.. no, but it is at the forefront of my mind, as an imminent thing to do.
