kokopelle: Frank n Furter (Frank-n-Furter)
The poem “Puppet” is a reflection on the faces of people, as seen by their supporters and their foes.


Puppet

A cast of characters good and bad,
same are focused in one man.
Demand his face to confirm
to the sentiment of your ire.

Remember he is shared
by the people of your hate.
They grasp him tight to their breast,
stabbing where you hug instead.

Polls have stated the real truth,
dogma of the purist thought.
Sadly this does not apply
when opponents believes he lies.

Listen to words spilling out
in a speech performed for you.
Your foes will hear chatter
bent to slander their proud side.

Turn the page, another glimpse,
are words misspoken or wisdom sent?
The same is read by all sides,
opinions differ in the spin.

A choice is made to be all things,
the options ours and not his.
Does he really have a mind
or is he puppet of mankind?

kokopelle: Horse Totem (Cat Flying)
I have in mind a series of articles about common dualities. I believe there is incredible power in the embrace of duality. The following thoughts kick off this exploration.

The energy to create is realized from duality. As a physiological example, we would die without the duality of homeostasis (the body's constant monitoring and adjustment of metabolic processes in an effort to maintain an internally balanced state of equilibrium). Manifestation theory states that efforts are realized by having an honest evaluation of both where we are now and where we want to be. It is taught that an honest evaluation of where you are now in duality (i.e. the arrow resting in the bow instead of on a table nearby) is needed before a shift in duality (and hence creation) is realized. The future state of duality must be realized/intentioned/stated for a fully actuated creation. The location of a target must be realized before the arrow can be launched toward it. The blank canvas becomes a painting. The arrow leaves the bow and arrives in the target.

It is in the power of duality that the paradox of hitting the target, without seeing the target, is realized. A comfort level with duality allows one to become the bow, the arrow, and the target. Anything is then possible. The intentional embrace of duality allows for a powerful singularity of experience. Magic happens.
