The Alchemy Of Soul Food |
2021-03-09 |
Proof of concept within a story. Harvesting form the environment too re-Cultivating an environmental deposit.
Soil to Soul; Nature creates conditions for life. She can't force it and she can't fake it, things must undergo the formality of actually occurring. Its the soil and plants as part of a symbiotic partnership that make soul food possible.
Bio-logical body and earth care, living soil to soul. Meaningful work; An Act that transfers through to nature, the microbial soil, symbiotically healing Wo-Man too the Womb of Mother Earth.
A ritual; a participatory event done with purpose to achieve something real in ones life. To feel is to sense the mystery of life through nature, too allow change to occur while working in it.
Investigating the nature of the physical body, biologically connecting within the earth body, allowing the style of movement to evolve out of the personal creative expression.
The Styling Of Life; the integration of movement and feeling connected through Mother Earth.
Intelligence is not to see that nature is alive, its to recognize when its seen. The felt experience of being in organism; standing as a mirror before nature as its object. Woman is natures destination; being endowed within by the spirit of selfless service, as such She can speak for Mother Earth. Being subject of this land means caring for its next generations use.
The alchemical journey of Soul Food, from its soil source, cultivation, harvest, preservation/preparation to culinary delight, and its multi dimensional re-Cultivated return to source, soil.
A movable feast; plant knowledge distilled and assimilated through the physical body, re-cultivated into living soil and returned to the womb of Mother Earth in-kind. Sustenance; life supporting and sustaining. Returned as something meaningful.
Empowering direct experience; contact with the divine made manifest.
A symbiotic microbial messenger; from humus, through human, to humus. Returned to a different local with a uniquely healing microbial make up, pro-biotic soul food for the ancestral soil, earth body. Healing Wo-Man, their relationships with one another and Mother Earth through the unified Soil Womb.
What ever the physical mind feeds upon is what the Earth Body calls to Wo-Man, Soil too Soul they receive.
The journey begins in a field, the soils cultivated by the Nam Khan River, chosen for the close proximity and open access. The Nam Khan River is a major tributary of the river Mekong, with which it joins at Luang Prabang. A journey 6.5km up river to harvest soil knowledge at source. Participating, observing and documenting cultivation from seed to harvest.
The alchemical journey continuing into the personal home kitchen, with recipes of soul food for the physical body. Moving through the physical body, bio-matter enters into a living cyclical fermentation process, whereupon the spirit is released.
From soil womb, through alchemical tomb; Reborn- emerging whole as unified humus soil, pro-biotic soul food for the earth body.
Reincarnate; To cause to be reborn in another body; incarnate again.
To cause to appear in a new form; refurbished and revitalized.
Re-connect; bringing the physical body back into conversation with all that is green and growing. A universe that never stopped speaking to Earth Wo-Man, even when they forgot how to listen.
Bending down and spreading the mud with hands across the Womb of Mother Earth. Being moved into action by the extraordinary gifts of the plants and animals, singing in thanks of giving and dancing with feet caressing Mother Earth.
The gift of life lives in the giving.
The living land grows and grows as Earth Wo-Man dances in thanks, from the dab of mud on Womb, the alchemy of all the animals’ gifts coupled with Earth Wo-Man in symbiotic deep gratitude. Together, this alchemical dance, formed what people know today as planet Earth, home.
A preparatory event; Earth Wo-Man is not coming empty-handed, with revitalized soil bundle clutched in hand, when toppled by domination from the hole in human heart, Earth Wo-Man reaches out clutching Tree of Life that grows. With-in grasp, branches—fruits and seeds of all kinds of plants.
These Earth Wo-Man scatters onto new ground and carefully tends each one until the world turns from brown to green. Sunlight streams through the hole in the heart of the dominated, for-given, these seeds too flourish. Wild grasses, flowers, trees, and medicines spread everywhere. And now that the animals too have plenty to eat, many come to live with Earth Wo-Man on Earth Island, the planet of life in Ocean Sky.
Co-evolution; Each unique Tree of Life acts while keeping their autonomy, participates in collaborative symbiosis. Exactly how(?) is not the objective, acknowledge the power of unity. Living together, each changing as a result of changes in the other or others.
Within a healthy environment; the organism is formed purely by the interaction of its cells, guided by the genetic code. A miracle of subtle organized cooperation between the parts. The growing cells alone, communicating with each other, and guided only by the instructions programmed into them by the genetic code, act correctly, with respect to one another, in such a way that they create an entirely individual whole, not predictable in detail, but recognizable in species.
Nature is a novelty conserving engine, its only objective is to conserve the 'gene,' not meaning.
The network runs on empathy. Cell division is empathy in motion. Empathy is one of the greatest creators of energy. It's counterintuitive because it's selfless.
The genes that translate to mast fruiting flow on enzymatic coevolutionary currents through the unified soil womb of Mother Earth. Symbiotically, through Earth Wo-Man soil knowledge is pulled into the next generations, as an attractor, like insects and the flowers that they pollinate.
Creative power, ones capacity to make something beautiful, lies in the capacity to observe correctly, and deeply.
Those who harvest this knowledge; know how to read the land for seeds of life, carry them home to safety and cultivate living soil, will survive the blizzards.
Forewarned is forearmed. The microbes warn each other and the invaders are repelled.
Passing on the knowledge harvested to their progeny, not by genetic transmission alone, but through symbiotic cultural practice, agreed upon meaningful work.
Communities in mutual symbiosis solve problems.
To Earth Wo-Man it is everything, a living legacy; identity, connection to ancestors, the symbiotic whole home, the pharmacy, the library, the source of all that sustains Earth Wo-Man.
Self-actualized - Synergized in people by plants; the living lands are a power of responsibility, the world is an enacted, sacred ground.
The essence of the beautiful is unity in variety.
All belong, it is through actions of reciprocity, the giving and receiving in harmony with the living land that people have become Earth Wo-Man (indigenous). Just as Mother Earth cannot be claimed, nor can Earth Wo-Man. Being self-initiated/declared, not from a land domination named through conquer or conquest.
Anyone who sees the monetary value as greater than the medicinal value of the stove or tincture must be too naive to ever decipher the formulas, or complete it.
Alchemy is an entirely natural science. The Alchemist does not force anything, but rather aids the substance to develop naturally where it wants to go by removing any impediment and assuring the optimal conditions.
The contradicting quotation is not truly contradicting as it does not contradict the premise; Emulate Nature- Only warning not to, too closely imitate every tiny detail of nature.
Alchemy can only truly be understood by gaining an understanding of how and why nature operates as it does.
What is remarkable about the practices of the alchemist? The willingness to let nature work without knowing exactly how nature works.
Nature - the ultimate non absolute ... where ...
beliefs - can be manipulated by imagination and
danger resides - from achieving wrong combinations from accurate information.
Nature is a great Book, an open book to be read by putting nature through processes which reveal not only its inner mechanics, but the inner mechanics of the artifex, the person working upon the material.
Experience Alchemy ~ The Healing Spirit Of Nature; a secret tradition of the redemption of spirit from matter.
Humus Soil and the Mycelial Network. A below ground fungi mass that connects humans, plants and trees together, whereupon they communicate with each other.
Displaying remarkable patterns of the reallocating of biomass and mineral nutrients and the discovery and colonization of new resources.
Feeding the Mycelial Mass is a journey into the Womb of Mother Earth. Connecting and communicating with that which makes living possible.
