::: Secrets of the Soma :::

We don’t wear our mind on our sleeve
We wear our mind
Our body is an extension
of mental characteristics and environmental dynamics
like a suit custom made from our past
each scar a sovereign of pain and knowledge
each flaw a feeling not forgotten
“fat thighs packed with childhood anger
baldness from trying to control everything
breast problems from refusing to nourish yourself
indigestion from gut-level fear, dread, and anxiety
halitosis from a rotten attitude”
As we speak our cells are regenerating
We are rewiring ourselves
according to what we THINK
The replicated cells are all confused
They think MONEY is the same thing as WORRY
The circuits have been crossed
They think TIME is the same thing as FEAR
You must synergize your synapses
They have reconnected all crippled
They think LOVE is the same thing as DISAPPOINTMENT
They got all these ideas from patterns in your behavior
And now like a run-away disc drive these patterns can’t be stopped
or
rather they are difficult to stop
because you can’t just change what you do
you have to change the way you think
you have to change the way you live
or suffer your untimely demise.
