Opposable Thumbs

When was the last time you gave thanks for your personalized opposable thumbs?

Probably never, as we are losing a sense of gratitude toward each other and the miracle of life itself.Fishing on the Dean riverAs evolving sentient beings, the deep and mindful experiences within qualia embody the gift of nature, illuminating the true meaning of the human entity.

A quick review—because I love you—this is to edify your soul.

To know what it means to have opposable thumbs is to possess tools for making dreams into life’s themes—becoming memes.tools for making dreams into life’s themes and then becoming memesAn opposable thumb is one that can touch the tips of the other fingers on the same hand.

If  “Wow, what’s so phacken special about that?” is the first thought that comes to mind, it may indicate the presence of a system clone occupying your earthly time.

Nothing stirs creative juices like a vice-like precision grip—the ability to grasp and manipulate objects deftly is where the magic of Mother Earth’s monkeys begins.

It’s not just about bending or flexing, which everyone should be doing by the way—particularly with Japanese morning radio calisthenics at least once or better yet—several times a day.

It’s really about opposing force and alignment.Force and AlignmentWhen these two powerful principles inhabit the opposable thumb, the recipe is truly infinite.

This phenomenon allows one to hold a calligraphy brush, unscrew the screwed, and thread the needle through the nooks and crannies of life’s haystack, which is often misconstrued.

We the people (Homo sapiens) have taken opposable thumbs to their highest level of refinement—yet many stones remain unturned.

Emboldened with this superpower, humans have vastly improved living conditions—to do so, it was imperative to harness both power and precision.

 The precision grip enables the most meticulous things, and the core of the precision story exists to create beautiful memes.A silverback gorilla looking at his opposable thumbs in absolute wonderThe power grip is what makes everything fit—even if you have to crowbar it in.

Apply all the force necessary, and thank your opposable thumbs when the job is well done.

This sublime combination of power and precision gave rise to the civilized protocols of tool-making, art, writing, and technology—seminal behaviors that refined our species.

 What’s not to love about touch sensitivity—to understand the essence of this drift and gist, just ask the special person you long to touch and care for so much, if they would care for a deep tissue rub.Two opposable thumbs caressing the Japanese fairies faceThere’s nothing like the quantum leap for humans facilitating participating in this phantasmagorical bipedal wonder quantum world.

It allows hands with a plan to make tools with pinpoint dexterity, creating a sublime life—and that, in itself, is truly extraordinary.

The evolution of social and cultural expression—the things that make us human—reside in the deeply seated feelings that inform this material experience—expressed so magically in writing, art, and craftsmanship—indeed, the essence of life’s truth and meaning.

Wait A Sec

Delaying gratification and reaping the rewards of a cherished idea is a highly advanced skill—essential for achieving elusive dreams—and manifesting magnificent visions requires finely honed expertise.

In reality, this notion depends on the stakes involved in pursuing gratification—whether instant or delayed—take a firm stance, a superposition—why not swing both ways?

If the object of desire is just a fickle whim—enjoy that succulent Madagascar vanilla ice cream for instant gratification—feel the warmth of a sugar glow in your satisfied tummy—the delight of icy treats is gratisfactory indeed.Madagascar vanilla ice cream for instant gratificationRemember the marshmallow test—it tested the willpower of children, and those able to resist the singular delectable marshmallow in order to receive a more handsome reward 15 minutes later were deemed likely to be more successful has been proven as total bunk.

Apparently, the group of children who resisted temptation and waited longer for the bigger reward did better on standardized tests and were seemingly more emotionally stable with better health outcomes.

Supposedly, the marshmallow test predicted long-term success, but as we can plainly see, the extreme narrowness of the study leaves a lot of gaping holes and doubt.

Whether or not eating the marshmallow quickly could realistically predict any future results seems like a convoluted scheme.

In fact, to eat the marshmallow or not—that is the burning question.Delaying gratification and reaping the rewardsLike everything in life, nothing is purely black or white—it depends on the situation and which way the wind happens to be blowing that particular day.

There is no simple solution to the gratification problem, yet the answer can be obtained by experiencing life by following the sun—the reward is the act of creating your unique personal journey into the flow of ΩNE.

The signs of a broken human mental system are those who cannot wait for the next flavor of the day.

They are known as system clones—with plenty of goals but no purpose—flitting from one thing to the next, never seeing one’s true self, or to ever believe that they too can choose to follow the sun.

To settle the spirit down, reflect innately into Seity, and you will find that your results start to become profound.Seity enters the child bannerOne size does not fit all—that’s not the way humans are meant to be—as the exquisite Japanese four-character compound leads us to believe—jūnin to iro—十人十色—ten people, ten colors—to each their own.

Scientific studies of this nature are mostly irrelevant, for any well-rounded human being understands that freedom belongs to those who eat the marshmallow whenever they please—using it as fuel to travel through the trials of material life, walking the road less traveled in enlightened dignity.絆神社「絆」Reframe your brain for a lifestyle masterclass brought to you by Dilbert Sensei—keeping in mind the following themes to use on the road to excellence—recurring themes indeed.

Each neo-clan a spires to a greater purpose than the common ones—keeping in mind that each day reveals a new starting line—maintain environmental stability and aspire to visions that transcend commonality.

Surely, delayed gratification is only one piece of the colossal human existence puzzle.celestial sky is a jigsaw puzzle concerning human existenceEmotional intelligence, spiritual philosophy, physical resilience and mental fortitude, trust in others, as well as opportunity are all connected to the desired outcome of life which is in fact a phantasmagorical game.

The name of this game is Zoology 101—for all humans are living in a petri dish—a grand experiment, in fact, the very theory of this theme.

Marshmallows aside, the crux of the matter is resilience: to continue and to understand that what happened yesterday and where you came from are in no way indications of who you are or where you are going—as following the sun guides your way.

Delay gratification where necessary, yet eat, drink, and be merry, for the fact remains—no one knows what tomorrow will bring—so save delayed gratification for your massive project that takes decades, dance with the sun and ΩNE, and embrace the day.

Oodles Of Gratitude

An exquisite theme to carry oneself through the vicissitudes of life is reflective gratitude, or as the Japanese protocol of reflecting on the big and small—hansei kai—反省会—is the inner call.

For the majority, the concept of oodles of gratitude is distant and remote, seemingly not an innate property of humanity, as gratitude is more often expressed only when it suits the ego’s needs.

Giving latitude to pick and choose where to express gratitude overtaken by negative energy, the flavor of today, if you will—reveals the fickle nature of emotional basket cases as life grinds them into a fray.not the master of your own destinyThose who are led by Seity reflect gratitude innately—every breath, each molecule invoking an aura of mystery—embody a holistic being founded upon emotional stability.

Gratitude can be expressed many ways, each in its own self special, to be drawn upon strategically, the light of this iteration, as light on the situation—reflecting harmonic reciprocity.

A great place to start a journey of gratitude is to be thankful that Earth Mother’s sun rises every morning—even on stormy, rainy days.Gratitude towards mother EarthSet the tone for each day with a mental fortress guiding the way, and initiate the Japanese protocol of kotodama—言霊—spirit of the word is the nature of the way.

If this is the first time you’ve heard of this groovy scene, welcome to the gratitude zone—remember that when in flow, no one walks alone.

Gratitude attracts similar energy—particularly a deep state of enlightened serenity.

The key theme is to be grateful for all the gifts between each other  that reciprocity always brings.the gifts between each other  that reciprocity always bringsIndeed, flies in the ointment inevitably show up in droves, and the attitude of gratitude is put to the ultimate test—use gratitude as fuel to lay any icky issues to rest.

Here is where the gratitude allegory really starts to spin, as the coincidental nature of a series of incidents marks where this storyline begins.

The gratitude protocol and the attitude embedded within are like a strange game played on a rarefied field from within to capture flow.Girls play the game of lifeThe surreal nature of following the sun has led to a world unlike any other for the Incidental Occxie’s beloved wife, the main subject of the TBG animation—The Big Girl’s great-aunt Umeko, a historical Meiji Era figure who gave Japanese girls and women so much love.

Their reciprocity in gratitude earned her a place on the ¥5000 Japanese banknote—as weird as that may seem.Tsuda Umeko on the ¥5000 modern Japanese bank noteNow, isn’t that quite something?

That’s the building of a community—connecting and reflecting each other’s values—embedded in the fundamental principles of the Kizuna Jinja, which embody reciprocity.

The future of gratitude has been initiated by the surreal motif in which the Incidental Occxie finds himself instantiated—a theme weirder than the story itself so it seems.

It continues in the form of Certificates of Gratitude as a truthful medium of exchange, where this phantasmagorical scene enters the gamification phase—are you now ready to play life’s ultimate game?Aunty Umeko Coin Certificates of Gratitude

Otsubone Sama

A tedious boy once proclaimed, after a scant few years in Japan, that he had pretty well mastered Japanese—if anything, one had to marvel at his confidence, indeed, his brazen bravado.

For most, language mastery mean acing a test.

Yet they miss the crux of the tale, cultural paradigms—reading the air, grasping ambiguity, and instantiating tatemae and honne.

A subtle sway, each moment of every day, to truly meld into the Land of the Rising Son—becoming ΩNE.Flow Into ΩNE - 万物A curious trait of the Japanese is their knack for masking intent—an adroit skill, ever honed, to weave throughout the nooks and crannies of this bewitching island nation, dubbed an earthly fairyland by the Meiji sage—Koizumi Yakumo.

The acid test for those who have thought to have the cracked code to Japan’s inner sanctum, especially the workplace maze—is to be able to identify the otsubone sama lurking in their office lair.Otsubone in HeavenIf toiling in Japan for any stretch of time, and tasked to spotlight the otsubone sama, yet unable to answer this piercing query—the revelation sings—you know not jack squat—start from the beginning again.

One of the most misread threads in the  Japanese workplace, indeed throughout the entire micro societies dotting Japan, is the towering importance of the otsubone sama.Otsubone as a towering figureMake sure to address her as ma’am.

Office dynamics and politicking aside, there is but one truth to grease life’s ride.

Currying favor—a zesty spice—is key for those eager to pierce the mythology surrounding Japan’s invisible walls, demands one first identify and pacify the otsubone sama, in essence that is all.

Tread carefully as sometimes a wannabe otsubone sama emerges, with tricks up her sleeve you’d scarcely believe—a pretender vying for the lofty otsubone sama superposition.Who is behind the seats of powerPerceiving shifts in energy demands wit—passiveness and aggressiveness to a refined degree, sit back, say nothing, and see—the fireworks are about to begin most certainly.

Interpreting modern Japanese life through the lenses of the past makes for good practice in creating a personalized path—visualize a future self-being—let the sun be the guide to see what this means.

Historically, otsubone sama referred to private chambers in imperial courts or noble households—a title for women of rank privileged with their own space.Murasaki Shikibu writing a novelIn the Heian Period (794–1185), an otsubone sama was a high-ranking lady-in-waiting attending the emperor or empress, often a political advisor wielding soft power and hidden influence.

Never mere attendants, they were strategists and power brokers.

From court to cubicle, the otsubone sama figure evolved but retained authority.

A meaningful journey inside the nooks and crannies of Japanese society is to be able to identify the otsubone sama, wherever she may be.

Keeping in mind—things are not what they seem—the contradictions that you now perceive as pure fantasy—turn into a rock solid reality if currying favor with this important player, reveals the next layer, a key to the next stage maze.abstract maze

Having switched worlds at the start of adulthood in Showa 61, one experienced the vast spectrum of human nature—recognizing a variety of innate conditions threaded into the genetic fabric of human reality.

The art of distinguishing cultures and customs, having been viewed through rose-colored glasses—onozuto akiraka ni naru— 自ずと明らかになる—fundamental protocol kicks in—clarity over time—is the way the story begins.

People come and go, particularly those who come from all eight points of this magnificent orb—to seek fortune in the land of the Japanese—boys and girls be ambitious.Some come some go some stayFor the most part, the Japanese ways are far too strange—there is no way they could ever remain, and mostly just fade away.

As a matter of fact, that is precisely how most Japanese prefer to look at all foreigners:

“Thank you for coming, and thank you so very much for leaving.”

Sayonara. Sayonara. Sayonara.Sayonara Sayonara SayonaraMost stay only briefly—lamenting their life choices incessantly, never quite making it past the starting gate—surrendering their life to the fickle finger of fate.

Some relationships endure for decades—rooted in commonality and the shared solitude of foreigners wandering the countryside—perpetual outsiders to the Japanese world.

Embedded within what Koizumi Yakumo affectionately called “Fairyland”—the land of the Japanese.

Life goes on—people change, or much worse yet—remain the same—no fresh paint to admire—only faded stains of yesterday—a government job—the slow march to the grave stage.

It’s true—life is a game, where the reality of horse trading comes into play.Horses playing a gameMiss this part, and the game ends—a non-participating character in the minor-first stage.

That is all there ever was, all there is, and all that remains.

When following the sun through Material Sludge, an assortment of avatars emerge along the pathways and alleys inside the nooks and crannies of life.

Intuition kicks in—relationships must be built on reciprocity, recognizing each other’s strengths and weaknesses—where iron-clad associations begin.

That which binds people must be nurtured to grow—lest it fades away, for the fact remains—life is a highly advanced horse-trading game.One hotel clerk. One guitar player. One horse trainer.
