Learning to be human Part 1.0

12/7/2021 The Gate(less) theory: .2

Have a 5-day retreat starting tomorrow —- A good idea to leave some reminders on how to be human — in case we need it

1. Talk to people like you were both reading from a script — unearth the story already there

2. Have preferences — so people don’t get confused

3. Learn to sit — as a side note — In Drugstore Cowboy those curtains in my bedroom which were put there in 1971 appeared — This must have been taken after I went to college and the bedroom became Dad’s part-time office

4. Make references other modern humans understand — hyperlink if necessary — https://ultrakillblast.com/post/190397086038/drugstore-cowboy-1989

5. Most humans don’t pay attention — they assume your status is human with the addition of threat / no-threat — knowing this how do you present to the world?

6. There are different ways of seeing — most do not involve ‘eyes’

7. Although your true nature is headless — The head is a signal to others saying you are most likely human

Well, y’all feel free to refer to this list when in doubt.

Love,

I’ve said it before — but not from down here
