A-Hey Sara!
S-What's going on man?
A- Just need to borrow you because you're open minded enough handle the experience of being turned into a 2-dimensional being. like write now, because I am scripting for you
S- I will be a cartoon character for you anytime m'dear. You are so awesom-y and I love everything you write.
A- see how I made you say that?
S- but I trust you to add as much anarchy and chaos to the soup as you think it needs
A- and I trust you 150 million percent. I will give you all the passwords to anything & everything and you can co-edit whenever you want. Because it's way better that way.
S- You're a Rock Star. I got you're back, Amigo ❤!
A- Thanks. People need to hear that more. We're slowly gaining back the wisdom of the ancient seeds. Really Rad time to be a human being on Planet Earth.
S-I know right!!!???
A- Hey Guys. Wanna hear a cosmic joke?
(E) {Everyone}- Okay!
A- Gogh mindfuck yourselves!!!!!
S- That's really funny. Can you explain why?
A-Yes. Its about how we are all responsible for our own emotions and experiences we are each having at any given time, and that the only way to overcome the Fear is so create a ton of Self Love, thereby creating massive Love and Reverence for others. It's such a trip. I call it the “game layer” and so whenever I start freaking out that things aren't going to work out, I remember this is all my creation. the game I designed for my consciousness to evolve, or whatever one wishes to believe.
S- what does it all mean?
A- I'm not always sure. I think it's about shifting into being a multidimensional being. People are entitled to thier own opinions, but constantly slamming each-other and trying to indoctrinate someone into your belief system against thier allowing is psychological abuse. Its a Mindfuck. It's not fair.
Here's an example. Someone could say to me “Stasia I'm dissapointed because I want you to be a Doctor or a Lawyer, and instead you decide to write about Pirates and Anarchy and Stuff that's really Taboo and Bear Children outside of the sanctity of marriage.”
S- What do you say to that?
A- I tell them that they are the owner of that emotion and I wonder what it is telling them about thier own inner self. I say I can set them up with some amazing counselors if they want to talk about why they feel the need to seek validation from the achievements of others. Or whatever they decide to talk about when they get there.
S- That's what counselors are for.
A- Hey Zach. Please can you help me explain Polyamory to the people of Planet Earth?
Z- Sure, but why do you need my help?
A- I guess because the ideas are there in my head, but I have a hard time turning them into things that sound fluid enough. During Accelerated Learning Techniques Week, half my reality was reflecting back all these amazing polyamory questions that I wanted to delve into with the people who are so curious, but I thought If I started writing about “many Love” on the internet everyone would want to kick my ass.
Z- Why did you think that?
A- Ummmm well Because I have made many errors in judgement in the past, and I caused myself much stress and anxiety. Also so much emotional pain for Others. We can never hurt another person without hurting our own self in the exact same way, I hypothesize. But when we heal ourselves, it seems we help but to heal another person in the exact same way. It is all very cosmic and mysterious, and I have not yet mastered any of it. But I think we as a whole culture are beginning to.
I do, however, think that there are so many important things to share with our Fellow Humans who are really seeking out this information.
Z- What wisdom do you think is essential to polyamory?
A- Fabulously phrased Question Zach! That's sort of one of the biggest Catch 22's in interpersonal human relationship dynamics. The only way to understand the dynamics is to experiment with them, and nobody is going to get it right the first time. Not with your mother, your sister, your brother, your lover, or the beautiful children who leave thier damn legos all over the floor.
Z- I had this great Idea!
A- YES! Thank you! That's so perfect! I've never thought of those words like that before but It makes exact perfect sense. I'm stealing it.
Z- I knew you would.
I am such a factory of complicated ideas that have been simplified to thier essential components.
A-Ha! Yes. It's so true. that's why I thieve all your stuff. Okay, so here's the one I had stashed in my own folder,
but It was always missing what you just said!!! I think that every person, every experience, every rock, bird, tree, droplet of water, etc... is a puzzle piece/reflection of your own soul, like that Quote: Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion.
Z- You would think that your soulmate is a rock or a tree branch or the universe expressing itself as a mathematical equation.
A-I totally would. And all of it would be, like, chopped up little bits of my own self. which is nothing, and also everything.
Z- CHAOS AND ANARCHY! DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!!! ANYTHING AT ALL! BREAK ALL THE RULES!!! YARRRRR!
A- Whoah. hold on. That is how I learned so much in life so fast. I created so much chaos and anarchy.
Z- why don't you
tell the readers about that some more?
A- hmmmm...... The important thing is to put all ones cards on the table.
S- what does that mean?
A- I think it means that people must get better about opening up to each-other about thier true feelings. Say for example I have a friend named Steve. If I am unclear or concerned about the relationship dynamics, I can initiate a conversation. I want to invite honesty in an atmosphere of safety. I want Steve to feel totally comfortable. So I could say something like “Hey Steve. This might sound super random, but I'm a polyamorist, and we are radically open people because we want to create safe environments of fun and playfulness, and respect for everyone"
S- lets say that Steve nods in agreement, to give your story some flow.
A- cool. So then I might say “I'm an autonomous sovereign being and I live life by my own set of rules. I like to do whatever I want, whenever I want, as long as it's responsible to the commitments I've already made."
I can then tell Steve about my ideas of how I think polyamory should be.
S-how do you think it should be?
A- Kitchen table polyamory
S- Ok but wait. What if Steve is like “whoah that's so crazy you're gross”
A- that's totally a risk we humans take every day in every moment. Rejection is super fine, and eventually one starts to become resilient to a No, because a No is a Yes in another kind of way. It is a Yes in the sense of having a definition of something, whereas before there was only ambiguity
S- but ambiguity is mysterious and fun and you love it. You find it irresistible. You Love a cosmic mystery.
A- It's true. Tell everyone you know. What can I say. I am a polyamorist. We put all of our cards down on the table. I love challenges and games. I love fun and playfulness.
S -is it nice to play with people's heads though?
A- Yes and No. I happen to Love it. but not everyone does. so don't do it to anyone unless they ask you to. And then give them lots and lots of outs. I typically say “just tell me to stop if you don't like it”.
and so of course, if they say stop, you stop. immediately.
S- but don't you get bored once the mystery wears off?
A- When people are constantly spiritually evolving, thier mystery never wears off. The way we live, in the small isolated boxes, with the “rules”... this is a very... bizarre scenario on the planet. We have all been discouraged of sharing intimacy and laughter... and self evolution. I'm not exactly sure why...
S- what do you mean by intimacy and laughter
A-It could be anything. Holding hands with Dan if he is stressed out while driving on the highway to demonstrate how easy it is to synch cardiac coherence. That's intimacy. Or giving a huge hug to my soul sister at Anarchist Playgroup. We've got such a strong intuitive connection it borders on telepathy, and many of us feel if we practice these skills, they will naturally get stronger, much akin to lifting weights, or becoming a more skilled chess player. It's actually way radical how far thought experiments can take us.
S- can thought experiments go too far?
A- hmmmm...... The important thing is to put all ones cards on the table.
S- what does that mean?
A- I think it means that people must get better about opening up to each-other about thier true feelings. Say for example I have a friend named Steve.

It's actually way radical how far thought experiments can take us.
S- can thought experiments go too far?
A- heck yeah. Way
too far. There's a line called crazy we don't want to cross.
S- how do people stay grounded?
A- I call it “radical intimacy” So much bonding. It's really starting to happen among the Granola Mamas because I hate to admit it, but some messed up force is starving us out and poisoning our children.
Z- omg that's horrible and twisted why would the humans on planet earth do that to all the Mothers?!
A- I have no idea and it makes zero sense to me, all I know is that practically every Mother on planet earth right now is having a super challenging time to the point of collapse and its really got me concerned... But also, lately I've even been thinking that we are doing it to ourselves in the choices we make every day
S- elaborate?
A- It's like the mirrors. Like you and everyone always says. We are reflections of eachother.
S- yes.
A- so how do we begin reflecting new, better versions of ourselves back at our own selves?
Z- omg what a trip
A- Refined experimenting I think. Learning and Mutating from the lessons of our chaos and anarchy, and then sharing them with the group to make it stronger?
Z- wasn't this article about polyamory?
A- Yah. That word just means many love. Some people hear “polymaory” and they imagine a big wild disgusting orgy and they get all offended.
Z- but people are still allowed to have wild disgusting orgy's if they all sign up for it, right?
A-Totally. Consent is the Key. We are allowed to do whatever we want as long as we be nice to each-other. But to me polyamory means something deeper. It's about exploring connections and intimacy dynamics between all humans, to help each-other heal.
Z- what does it mean to be nice to each-other?
A- I dunno. I asked God once and he said “uuuuhhhhhhhmmmm let me think about it” and he then went out to grab a beer from the fridge in the garage.
Z- Oh! Let's call it Infinite Love!
A- That's a great term. Okay. Back to the Kitchen Table. Let's invite some of our Friends to it to talk about Polyamory
Z- why?
A- Because it's really difficult for me to script conversation without characters. It's like co-creation without the “co” it's just “creation”. which perplexes me to infinity like the God paradox, if I'm not careful. I need “co” authors to help me stay grounded and direct my focus. Mind Tethering.
Dave- Hi guys I'm Dave!
{Everyone} Hi Dave! Welcome to the Decentralized Tribal Leadership table! Right now it's just an old electrical spool with some milk crates and seats we pulled out of an old Van.
Supercat: Hi I'm Supercat! I like Word Puns and Double Entendre and I do Goat Yoga and I'm a Girl Scout Leader.
X- Hi I'm Xris and I'm a polyamorist!
K- Hi I'm Kimmie and I like Swordplay!!!!!
Tim- Hi I'm Tim and I'm a character!
{Everyone} Thanks for trading stasia a skateboard she was starting to make us all insane.
Tim- Yeah what happened there?
A- Humanity keeps poisoning my children from every angle for no apparent reason. I tried to ignore it and be a polite girl, but finally it got to be too much. It felt like I was running ever faster on an endless mouse wheel of nonsense. And every time I asked someone for help or new ideas or to just watch my kids so I could have a real actual nap everyone was busy. Except a few Granola Mama's who were already stretched so thin they could barely function, but they stepped up anyways.
Tim- Did it make you suicidal?
A- No I've never been suicidal a day in my life. Once I went crazy or something though. It made me so confused that things didn't seem real anymore. But seemed so very real at the same time. It was horrible. I will never live that way again. I'm going to fully embrace life and look it back in the eyes and carve out the rest of my journey from a responsible flow state from now on. I'm just a really happy person who thinks about a lot of things and tries my best to do the right thing.
{Everyone}-How do you know that's going to work?
A- I just do. Sara always says it will. She's right there for me.. Also Zach says everything is going to be okay.
Z- Put the rest of your cards on the table
A- Once upon a time I designed the Pirate's Magazine Scavenger Hunt off of the desire to turn a complaint I made into a positive lifestyle change. I complained about “noisy yahoo's in the forest”, but then I thought “hey wait. They have every right to be happy in nature”. So I encouraged that thought. I swapped my old negative brain priming with Item #1 “a photo of someone in Nature shouting Yahoo!”
Z-what were the rest of the cards?
A-various constructs of how my friends and I see the world
Z-such as?
A-Books we like. Movies we like. Once I smooshed one of my favorite books next to a cast photo i found from one of my favorite movies... I heart shared dreaming! It's like if you un-prisma'd a whole bunch of scenes from waking life, they might look a lot like your own life. I call it the “take a look, it's in a book mindfuck”
S- Oooh! I love Tom Robbins!
Z- any more cards?
A- Love songs! I steal everything from Love songs and plug my new ideas back in as I refine them.
Z- what is a mindfuck??
A-I don't even know. Except that we all have to take responsibility for our own... but we can do it together, with each-other to help.
Z- We'd have to be so Courageous & Brave
A- I think we already are.!!?!
{Everyone} it's really hard to disagree with that.
A- here is one of my personal favorites:
E- what is it?
A- I'm not sure. All I know is that whenever I read William Blake poetry now It sounds like I'm with Johnny Depp & a Shaman in the forest listening to Neil Young & Eddie Vedder. I like it.
It kind of tingles.
E- this post was not about sex crazed Gen Y Maniacs?
A- No. Polyamory is about Love.
S- how do people stay grounded?
A- I call it “radical intimacy” So much bonding. It's really starting to happen among the Granola Mamas because I hate to admit it, but some messed up force is starving us out and poisoning our children.
