damn, so im still lost in the research rabbithole
i keep saying end of the month ima put it down
then the other day i found a fiekld called
self determination theory

this morning i start reading sample for the
exford handbook of moral development
it was so good i checked the price
147 dollars, o my god, but it lead me to
samples of the oxford hbk of meditation
the poxford hbk of accurate personality jiudigements (spiritidoctor stuff)
the oxford hbk of war (i just wanna see what they say)
the oxford hbk of moral [pyscho/logy
all $100 plus
and the one i fiond most provocative, the
oxford hbk of cultural neuroscience and
Global mental health
noiw beneath all that erudition sounds like
they talking about taking care of the global soul to me
i cant wait to dig into that one
even if they not they will put that question on mymind
because thats most essential what i aspire to
?to be a global medicineman, the global griot griot
healing the world
i think ima read that one 1st

but right now discipline calls for extracting what ive read
let me see 4 processes
when one falls behind the pothers is wehen i focus on it and
right now i got too big a list of books that need extraction

what are the 4 processes

reading the samples w/extraction, getting them off plate, one a day
reading thru full texts then extraction
conmbing multiple fragments into themes
editing thematic beat
placemnt in old text
rouigh new structure
clean it upo, make it sing
poetry draft

okay more than 4, but its the extraction phase that is a slog,
reading extraction theming placement  - 4 after all, thought so

i got to go

need to at least look at outline of oxford hbk of
cultral neuroscience and global mental health

god what a title, spiritdoctor worddrugs

 

 

today i downloaded just now
the opxford handbook of

mi high johhny conquer root

hello world, im so far ubnderwater
ima just hit the highlights

talking to monte about a will and
setting up flowers foundation

talking to dick nreyer about doing
a documentary of me

finally started working on film
of the night at stax w/the traveling show
finally decided on an approach
gon talk about being the high hoodoo
of memphios and make it a beat of my mythwork

students taking a god awful lot of my time
sometimes whole work days but i love it

oldschool, back to me blact arts movement roots
bringing back power from 20 years working for the man
and i get benefit cross fertilizing with them

reading thru memoir, decided based on convos
with lord monroe to change as m any of my lifebeats

as possible to sufi type wisdom tales

many using the high hoodoo, the babajohn
and sheree as queen motherr memphis

those of you know mw know i want to start a tradition
a wisdom tale tradition akin to that of the sufi and i

will just use the many beats of my life that will fit
that seeker of wisdom quest as 3rd person wisdom tales
dispersed thru out the text - im very extcited

tho afraid cause i have no idea how this is gon work
and if it will make the Work that much more unsaleable
but it is so freeing that i dismiss the industry these day
in the years of my closures iots all about the dialogue

with the generations - speaking of which
so im reading thru and happy to report

that after a year off its reading cleanly
a year of getting cold flaws will be apparent

still doing thi rtesarch griind
forcemarching thru samples
and textbooks

just recently discovered a field called
self determination theory SDT which
is all anout indiv and cult florishing / agency

my cup runnth over, got about 10 textbook sample
resisting 100 price tags on one exquitie one

but by the tiojme ive read 10 samples and their outlines
even if i dont read the books i got reams of raw knowledge

examples of recent extractions from oxf hand of meaning and others

NOTES FROM THE OXFORD HANDBOOK SAMPLE (TOOL EXPENSICE TO BUY BUT I WISH)

distinction between greast meaning and normal meaning
great being change agent, normal being life and living
also a distinction between asupernatrural (need god / soul for meaning)
vs naturalist who say what we have is sufficient wo

the subjective vs the objective
the pointless activities objection to subjective
self propogating goals expand and evolve in phases as we approach achievments

Personal narratives often involve illusion
meaning and importance do not necessarily overlap
a loving family man can be impo but lack greater meaning
to be meaningful must be purposeful and greateer than self interest
folk have to find their FA, determineing what is authentic to your deepest highest self / soul
foklk who feel that meaning is about finding ones place and rolke in the universe
whiuch is the quest for FA
author says that excludes free will, I don’t agree
I will not accept any theory that negates my free will

self control and ego depletion beats fromhandbook of self regulation

that ongoing self control depletes control resources
so ho do you encourage ongioln g control
thru affirmation, thru rest and pacing, thru affirming core values

planning self efficiency and action control to generate positive behavior patterns
depleated ego resources encourages senseof cant win passivity
automaticity are automatic response, low cognition, self replicating,
while controlled process are intentional  dependent on cognitive resources
conscious and stoppable

desirte is what you want
temptation is what you want and should not indulge
as counterfactual to successful adaptation
desire strength and cognitive habitualization the more mental resources
contributed to a desire the stronger it becomes, is this for positive reinforcement too

early reaard processing triggers fast instince inpulsive habituated responses
self control isoverrising one action tendency to achiecve a greater goal
self regulation is broader processs. Of self corrective adjustment

emlotional regulation is regulatin affective and emotional res[onse

three  avoiding selectiong or altering triggering sitautions/
deplpoyinng attention / focus, cogniitude adjustment, modulating
initiall emotional and behavioral responses

how do folk determine when emotional regulation required
goal oriented emotional reg operates at intermediate ;evels of complexity
and is governed by explicit verbalizable goals
1) have to identity wheter emotional responses fal;l short of goal state
2) determine if and if so how to engage iin emotional regulaitoon
3) enact emotional regulation strategies / shift

three types, he goes from greater to lessor
better lessor to greater
lowcomplexity need based ER: maximize pleasure, minimize pain
midcompllexity person based ER: maintain single emotion
highcomplexity global emotional balance: integrate multiple emotional impulses

today I found that there is an entire field
called self determination theory, downloaded
about 6 textbook samples, will wonders never
cease, I believe

also i have prommised out many conquer roots
which i just dont do anymore
ive gotten allegeric to them, have to wear masks and googles
it was always a shitload of work to do one and now that my hands tremble
its a shitload times three and im more likely to cut myself

even back in the day i would cut myself xacto
knifing those roots and when it happened id rub
the blood into the rooit to activate it but i can do
wo that little touch thank you

the picture above is the only pic i got
ive done dozens and dont remember
who got which, each one is diffn ut
now i owe ones to:

erynn, desmonde, dana, jaime, serena, kayla, rai, hess, roman
need to do one for asheree, (ask, she prob got one)
damon, cequita, gwen, red, who else, let me
stop, full production this will lean into 2023

i make art projects out of them, cowries,
crystals and elekes of the 7 african powers

 

put 20 roots of my list of things to do
make that 40, i have a small one on my

keyring w/jiuist elekes, all beat up and worn smooth,
many elekes missing but i love it, be nice to give
them a desk root and a keyring root, we will see

i got to go, so many books so little time

every word generated here is words

i coulda been generating for my Texts

be safe

i gotta go

i Believe in Divinity / the Great Mojo

we had been in deepspace what look like forever and had despaired of
ever finding a sanctuary for the remnants of humanity after the New Castle
Astroid destroyed the mother planet, leaving only 4 Arkships to get away
from the wreckage, the Arkship Tubman had lost contact with the others and
starting to show the wear and tear of generations fruitlessly spent in search
of a habital planet when a self destruct faction arose and voted to destroy
the ship when the navigator put a shot of the carina nebulae on the holoscreen
and announced our entry into the fringe systems of the Carina nebulae and it
was like they were suddenly in the presence of divinity, actually in it, a blinking
green light in the blue bright immensity of the Great Mojo beckoning them on,
do not get weary, children, we got this

-----------  

I Believe in Divinity, tho im not quite sure what that is - I do not however
believe that god is made in our image, I do not believe in an anthropomorphic
god, I do not believe god is a bearded patriarch, an earth mother, or a dysfunctional
family, I do not believe religious myths are real, I do not believe in heaven, hell or
40 virgins in paradise but I do Believe in Divinity whatever that is, I do Believe in
the Great Mojo - and when I saw this Hubble photo of the Carina nebulae I was like
if I did believe in a physical god this is what It would look like, i see divinity, dont you . . .
