Tuning

I think nanay and I are tuning better into each other. In the sense that I am understanding her and her me. We are are beginning to become more responsive to each other's moods. This is reciprocal empathy.

And because this is what I keep forgetting, what I keep having to be reminded of: I need to allow myself to be transformed by this place: this city, this country. These networks of people around me.

And that's it: I need to be able to transform my somatic experience into her somatic experience. But safely, so I could get out of it. Ariadne's thread out of the minotaur's labyrinth.

And I need to keep writing.

Project Palimpsest Psychopomp

Few ways of organizing this thematically:
  1. Nanay
    1. Recovery
  2. Transformative experiences
    1. hallucegenicS
  3. Psychopompiness
  4. Bodily knowledge and somatic practice
    1. Feldenkrais
  5. Activism, social change, and the Global South
  6. By the poetics and mechanics
    1. Mind palace and deeply networked stuff
    2. ETERNAL CUCKOO CLOCK
      1. What if the text gets unfolded in increasing time
    3. multidimensional relational database archive - diary
      1. Or network. Yeah better a network.
      2. And there's a root node called PSYCHOMPOMP
        1. or there's not
      3. There's different ways of grouping the nodes, each of which provides a different way of understanding the whole.
        1. There's different ways of slicing and dicing reality
    4. Palimpsest. Beneath every project is another project.
    5. (Forget the 3D printed thing)
  7. Evolutionary biology
    1. I suspect that our evolutionary ancestors had better proprioceptive and interoceptive awareness. The things they describe, the unusual, poetic things that they say about the body: it's because they were so embodied.
    2. COUNTERPOINT: we are becoming a more embodied, self-sensing organism. as the philosopher (ocallan?) that tito ikoy said, humans are just the manifestation of nature becoming self aware
