The subject, now, mortal, reified into the objective. 

The object, then, eternal, reincarnated into the collective.

Is this the process of modern existence?

Liberation!

Time paralyzes and possesses.

If let, time moves and blesses.

To flow, we must never seek.

And never mind distances or speed.
Liberation adjourns in the cycle of ambition.

So move! What awaits is discovery and inspiration!


Repeat. Repeat. Repeat!
Never mind. Just your body and feet!
Keep singing, "Lets go! Lets go!"
"Our minds will start to follow!"
Freedom and release from past information.
Our minds now in constant revolution!


"Let and be lit.  Let, and be lit."

Silently chanting, "Let us all be lit!"
Freedom  rings, but not in the distance.
It reverberates in our own existence.
May the sound sustain in resonation.
A song for the dance of actualization!

Categories of Conscious Action & Subconscious Function

1. Divided Action and United Action
2. Individual Action and Collective Action
3. Social Action and Function
4. Economic Action and Function 
5. Ecologic Action and Function

The individual may act in away so as to preserve oneself for individual or collective interests or sacrifice oneself for a strictly collective interest.  United action can be understood as collective action that achieves a specified, conscious, goal.  Collective action differs in that it can occur consciously or subconsciously.  For example, a nation, as it is common to all individuals, must produce or acquire the means to import food towards the end of economic securitization.  This would be categorized as collective-economic action.  This action, however, is in a fuzzy area between conscious action and subconscious function as it is based on the necessity of biological survival.  Ecologic action concerns the effect the individual and the collective has on the immediate and universal bio-social environment.

We are thought transporters.

Is the ecological function of us the transport of thought and its products?  We have a mind of thinking, a pair of hands for creating, and a pair of legs for transport.  Thus, biologically, we seem to be designed to have this innate function within Nature.  When all of our biological and collective actions add up, they seem to add up to the ambulation of thoughts and its products. 


Thoughts, when gathered together collectively, develop into facts or factoids.  If considered valid, facts may develop into packaged products ready for distribution.  


So what is valid?

A Paralyzed Ocelot

Those cats keep a pace, to and fro, to and fro.
Their eyes seem to ask, "Should I stay or should I go?"
Lacking in mind what was lost in time,
They're never feared and never fearful.


Now, with a role, grace is placed in a schedule.
Always, with appetites, pacing hopeful.
Lacking direction or distances covered,
Legs still meet the beat of Nature.


Eyes are in observance, but lack a sense of question.
An onslaught quelled in the comfort of every direction.
With paws raw and cages locked,
Those cats keep pacing to and fro, to and fro.

Dreams of Factories

Heber Springs, AR - June 2012

Vacant space is an area void of activity, although there may be structural and societal potential.

"Occupation" implies the presence of subject, object,and ambiance.  The act can be termed "place-making."  With this motive, the question being asked is, "What is and could be here, there, and everywhere?"


It could be a place where something or someone goes, a place of ritual, or a place that becomes instilled in memory.


Occupation, in this broad sense, can be an act directed towards the socioeconomic liberation of a community.  This mode of action develops the conditions necessary for communal production, as place-making is a way a community can experiment with new community-wide arrangements. Occupation turns idleness into production.


The root meaning of "factory" is a "a place for (ory)creation(fact)."  It is a matter of finding a space and a place for everything in developing the conditions necessary for production.
