BODY SHAVING.....Avidyā.....with SHAMING, through the mirroring lens of Conceit and Narcissistic Self-Obsessiveness 


Negro men and women......or must I say 'Black'?......shave their heads to avoid looking 'nappy' or 'losing their hair'... spending a fortune on weaves, extentions, coloring and straightening......and further complicate their 'hair issues' with wigs, caps, hats and Muslim-ish coverings; most women shave their legs, pits and 'privates' to appear as though there is no hair/fur on their legs, bellies, butts .....well.....anywhere, other than their heads........  Our Society refers to all of this as 'Grooming'.....with immense pressure to look 'well-groomed'......  Essentially, 'this' is just GLAMOUR, isn't it?  Alice A.  Bailey wrote a book about such Maya....the attributeless Absolute, that is emotionally chained to the Idee Fixations of Tribal Conformity......

CONFABULATORIAL INTERSTITUAL COLLUSIONS FROM WITHIN THE COMPARTMENTALIZED MEMORY BANKS OF NOT QUITE RANDOM CHEMICAL CONNECTIONS THAT SURFACE, THEN DECAY, RECOMBINING AND RECONSTUCTURALIZING...AGAIN AND AGAIN....

  ....from a note. over a dozen years ago, to a friend, whom, at that time, I knew as "Chaz" and with whom i've shared many 'dialogues' over the past couple of decades, although we have never met in the "real world", but only within the contexts of Myspace and Facebook: Re: mental illness as the burdensome lagniappe of Creativity...the compartmentalization, then unravelling, of associative collusions within the mass of cortical tissues......:.....It is not so much that eccentricity is incomprehensible, for  i don't seek to discover the periapsis of intellect or the common, intersections that we share......somewhere between 24 and 42, so to speak, wherein the trajectory of random thoughts collide in expressions that are both recognized as "real", yet, at the same instant, are transient and unknowable........i keep, at my bedside, 7 boxes, varying in both size and design, materials of construction and contents.......At one point in time....we...
