Face the Ugly Within

About Me


No one is born with a belief system. Its provided by other peoples values and interpretations of life, other times and environments. You live in a world provided for you by someone else.
We focus on psychic metabolism- breaking down the networks of association that create your model of the world...
...and with that energy, we help you (and ourselves) shape something unexpected and surprising. What are we shaping? Life in this moment.
Relax into this tropism.
We do not assume similar experiences with anyone. Mind your metaphors, they are your masters.
the Dissociated Press does Ritual Theatre.
When available we do paratheatre workshops, excorcisms, baptisms with water & fire... hypgnosis and a joyful disintigration of tensions through a series of movements and breath work (Undoing & shotgun Tantra) that lube those moments of artistic crisis and initiation. You might puke in the end, but you'll be so much happier for it.
Why? Forwarding the simple benevolent agenda of harmonious polycultural fun to the end that all mind/bodies generate enough SLACK & mental strength to explore Reality within and without. That is to say: We love creatively and conspire for humanity's collective liberation. The marginal becomes the mean.
Our silent teachers, whom we have never seen with mortal eyes: Jerzy Grotowski, Antero Alli, , A-hole Artaud, Gimminy Gurdjieff, S.N. Goenka, the cover story known as C.S. Hyatt, Rawbert Anton Wilson.
Let Wisdom come with Laughter and Jest! Everybody fully Enter Body.
And now, Kipling: "When the flush of a new-born sun fell first on Eden's green and gold, Our father Adam sat under the Tree and scratched with a stick in the mould; And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart, Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves, 'It's pretty, but is it Art?'"

Sounds Like:
"Do not believe in what ye have heard; do not believe in traditions, because they have been handed down for many generations; do not believe in anything, because it is rumoured and spoken by many; do not believe merely because a written statement of some old sage is produced; do not believe in conjectures; do not believe in that as truth to which you have become attached by habit; do not believe merely the authority of your teachers and elders.

After observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and gain of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

~Kalama Sutta
-------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------

The Dhamma that shields us is the Dhamma that we develop within ourselves, the Dhamma that we apply in our lives. This alone fully secures our well-being.

The law of cause and effect is always operable, whether an Awakened One exists or not. But an Awakened One discovers the law and makes use of it not only for his own liberation but out of infinite compassion, he distributes it to one and all. He never calls it Buddhism; he calls it Dhamma. In the same way, he does not call his followers Buddhists.

~Goenkaji
------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------

For progress in Vipassana meditation [direct intuitive insight into Nature] a student must keep knowing anicca [the Reality of impermanance, transformation] as continuously as possible. The Awakened One's advice to practicioners is that they should try to maintain the awareness of anicca, dukkha [suffering due to clinging] or anatta [no intrinsic self in bio-psychic aggregations] in all postures. Continuous awareness of anicca, and so of dukkha and anatta, is the secret of success.

~Sayagyi U Ba Khin
-----------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------

The path is called "straight," "without fear" is the destination; the carriage is called "silent" and its wheels are right effort.

Having tasted the sweetness of solitude and of inner tranquillity, he becomes free of woe and sin, enjoying the sweetness of the bliss of the Dhamma.

He who does not get up when it is time to do so; who, although youthful and strong, is yet given to indolence, is weak in resolution and thought -- such an idle and lazy person does not find the path to wisdom.

All the phenomena of existence have mind as their precursor, mind as their supreme leader, and of mind are they made. If with a pure mind one speaks or acts, happiness follows him like his shadow that never leaves him.
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------

Dhamma is the Eightfold Noble Path divided into three divisions of sila, samadhi, pañña. The path is noble (ariya) in the sense that any ignoble, ignorant (anariya) person walking on it will certainly become an ariya -- a noble and saintly person.
