Song Of The Day: Detox Mansion / Warren Zevon
Word Of The Day: Bahuvrihi / Compound word whose second part is a noun but that acts as an adjective

Facilitator: Can I speak to the Fixer?

Fixer: Yes.

Facilitator: Who am I speaking to?

Fixer: The fixer.

Facilitator: OK, tell me about yourself, what's your role?

Fixer: I fix things.

Facilitator: Things?

Fixer: Well, things, and people.

Fac: Can you give me an example?

Fixer: Well, for instance, I think I could improve the way you're conducting these dialogues. I could fix the way you ask questions, and how you conduct inter-subjective dynamics.

Fac: Oh. OK, how would you do that? I mean, what would you like to fix?

Fix: I would start by modifying the sequence in which you are accessing these voices. It was good you started with the controller, but you shouldn't have gone to the Pervert that soon, and you should have followed the Skeptic with the, well... probably with me, to be honest.

Fac: Why is that?

Fix: Because the Skeptic is so fucked up, and I know how to tweak that voice and work with it, and balance its position in assembly to provide it a more...

Fac: OK, sorry to interrupt. I get it. You would change the order of the voices, the way they play off each other, etc. But what else do you like to fix, or would you like to fix?

Fix: I'd like to fix Stuart's temper. He's a bit too fiery at times. I would like to fix his posture, he doesn't always stand up straight and he often is unconscious about the way his physical body conducts (or doesn't) the energy of his systems, and also communicates important information. I'd love to fix the fucking drawer in the kitchen, which has been broke for three insufferable years, Jesus Christ when is he planning to let me get at that? I'd like to fix the heater knob on his car. I'd like to fix his disease (Alopecea), his diet, exercise program, personal finances, the gutter on the side of his house, his inclination to internalize emotion and disconnect, his tendency toward a black and white / all or nothing approach to many aspects of life, and

Fac: So, there's no end to what you'd like to fix in Stuart.

Fix: There's no end to what needs fixing.

Fac: What else, though, what about besides Stuart?

Fix: Well, good Lord, this is EARTH, what's not to fix? The biosphere is a polluted, toxic liability in innumerable quarters around the planet, precious resources are being plundered, but most importantly, for centuries there has been an alarming disparity between humanity's increasing facility with external phenomena and its comparatively arrested interior development. We now have space-age technologies at the disposal of ice-age mentalities. Although there continues to be advancement in both, interior development has not kept pace with its exterior counterparts. I would really like to fix that. I would also like to fix Stuart's wife, really get to work on her confused, addled orientation, and all the flaws of her person. I would like to fix the piece of shit United Nations quagmire, I would love to fix that spiritual malignancy known as George Bush junior, as well as the entire white house administration, and oh God, please let me fix the hypnotized, conditioned masses so addicted to simplicity and comfort that they forfeit -literally ABORT their own precious humanity and undermine the possibilities of countless millions. I would LOVE to see that fixed, the unremitting torpor keeping God's Human Body sluggish and unresponsive to its greatest promise.

Fac: What is that promise, as you understand it?

Fix: For human's to experience -purely experience- their identity is God. Not a story, or idea, or interpretation of experience, but the simple direct experience of what actually IS. I mean deeply, actually IS. Not what they wish, or engineer, or run through filters and conversion devices of the human personality, but what actually IS, before and beyond humanity's appropriation of it. Not ensleepened by distorted, antiquated myths and anthropomorphic personifications of shadow and fear, but free -just abiding as a being with OPTIONS which could include not-being, action or stillness, light or dark. Because here is what humanity often misses: The resolution of the tension they feel in opposites (good / bad, light / dark, life / death) is not resolved in either of their polarities. I'll say that again: The resolution of opposites does not occur in either of their polarities. The solution to bad is not good. The Kingdom of God does not lie in the end of all evil, but in the awakening -the inhabiting- of that which is beyond good or bad, life or death, or any parsing of Reality. God has no opposite. When there is a split between the promise, of a sentient being (awakened awareness) and its present condition (sleeping nightmare), I want to fix that. That is my biggest job as fixer.

Fac: What about all that other stuff, like Stuart's personality, and the biosphere, and the government.

Fix: I still want to fix all that too. And the fucking street signs in Holland are way, way too small. I need to fix that.

Fac: Are you ever going to fix all this?

Fix: No. It will never really be fixed.

Fac: Are you alright with that?

Fix: Well, I have a secret side that you may want to know about.

Fac: What's that?

Fix: It's my esoteric inversion.

Fac: What's an esoteric inversion.

Fix: You might not understand it, because you're just a facilitator and it's a nuanced matter.

Fac: Give me a shot.

Fix: OK, well, one of the ways I fix things is to break them. This is especially true of big things like Universal fields of subtle spiritual energy, or the collective interiors of entire orders of Beings -and I'm not just talking about Earth here. This is hard to describe to any awareness still identifying with a developmentally remedial conception of Reality, like people who believe there is ultimately Good and Evil, or that there is positive and negative outcomes, or that there is something that is right and something else that is wrong. Actually, from the appropriate perspective, something which is fixed- or satisfactory resolved- is actually broken. It is only the friction of discord which allows for traction and movement. Stasis, or complete concordance in all dimensions of manifest and unmanifest Reality, would simply make God a corpse. When things become too fixed, or too well-put together, I fuck them up and break them in order to create possibility, promise, You see, I impregnate the Kosmos with carefully placed disruptions. The fixer will break shit if it will fix the current stagnation of fixity.

Fac: Options.

Fixer: Yes, I reserve the right to have the widest, most inclusive application of the role "fixer". What needs to be fixed, and how, depends upon your perspective and developmental center of gravity. I reside in all perspectives, I work with all centers of gravity, and my means and modes are far beyond what can be apprehended by the cognitive, discursive mind. Today I may want to fix your crooked tie. Tomorrow I may want to fix the part of your soul that stays asleep in the presence of God, and that may involve seriously fucking up your life, radically disrupting the way your essential self has gradually cultivated delusion. Then once you're awake, I may fix your over-identification with something you think is "awakened awareness" by assaulting you with illusion and disorienting makyo.
