Alice Greczyn Instagram – “Spirituality strips us of our humanity by asking that we ‘remember who we really are.’ This implies that we are not a beautiful mess of apery, but something invisible and unattainable in our mortal form, yet that which we should aspire to anyway. What horseshit… Enlightenment is found *through* the body, not by denying or transcending it.”
My apologies if this offends you. 😌 This excerpt is from my latest blog post, another journal entry. Many of you seem to really enjoy my more candid, less research-driven musings, and honestly, I’ve been feeling that urge to remember why I write. It was never for social validation or a balancing of perspectives but for me. How lucky am I that others might enjoy it, too?
I earnestly seek out viewpoints different from my own. But it is also precious to me when I stumble across a thinkpiece I already understand, like viewing my brain from outside myself. And so I’ll share these more unfiltered thoughts on occasion, amid more my heavily researched and emotionally tempered pieces, uncensored and barely edited.
This sub-series of posts on my Substack are notes that tumble from my brain to my fingertips, often in the early hours of morning. Notes I write for me, with an authority unafraid of others’ disagreement. Notes I share with you, knowing they will not resonate with everyone. No one’s thoughts will feel safe or inspiring to everyone. (Remember when that used to be a given? When disagreement was perceived not as a threat to one’s safety but as an invitation to learn? 🥲)
