Writing Outside The Lines

November 9, 1986. Sunday

It’s been a nice weekend of big movement. I’ve been rereading diary entries from August to December 1983. I felt like God looking down: interceding, judging, commenting. And, generally being amazed at the graphic changes that occurred in that time span. The month of August started with me writing …right within the lines and margin (of the journal page) (As in life) I just fit perfectly into everybody’s little boxes. A coffin of conformity. Sufficating.

But then TM (Transcendental Meditation), Tristan Rainer (author of The New Diary) and Rainbow Clan punched in a few tiny air holes. And, I could see pin pricks of blue sky and shafts of hazy light strike and rekindled an ember of self love in my breast. And, I bust loose from the lines. And I’ve been moving to resurrect from that grave and airless place of conformity ever since! 

End of this part of the entry.

Notes: 5/15/2024

I’m posting a photo the page from my 11/9/1986 journal entry in which I demonstrate on the page how I went from writing within the lines on the page to busting through and writing outside the lines. This reflected how I was beginning to bust out of the constraints of my life.

From August to December of 1983, I was married to a woman and was trying to live a very straight existence. But, the 11/9/1986 journal entry reveals that massive change was welling up within me during this period. It would result in my coming out at a Sage event in February 1984 and coming out to and leaving my wife inn July-August 1984.

(Sage was an event that lasted several days. At least 100 of us were guided through different ways of expressing our being. I came out for the first time to a group of strangers during one of the Sage sessions.)

When I review former journal entries, I do kind of feel like God. I know how the story turns out. I see the events of the day I wrote about in the journal entry through the trajectory of events since then. But, unlike God, I can’t change what happened in the past.  I can "intercede , judge and comment” in the journal margins in the hope of integrating the past event with the present continuum.

I was 28 in 1983 and 31 in 1986.

Tristan Rainer wrote “The New Diary” in which she broght a novel approach to the journal writing experience. 

I’m not sure what the Rainbow Clan was, but, if I find out from reviewing the ’83 journal I will blog about it.

Staving off Emotions by testing all of the cassette tapes in my room and this old Mannheim Steamroller Christmas tape just transitioned from a rendition of “Deck the Halls” which sounds like a newscast opening song to a completely medieval “We Three Kings” (ft. A Lute) and it gave me the worst tonal whiplash ever. I love the 80s

There are lots of hard rock and metal albums i would love to experience again for the first time... but this one holds the candle! I never forget the first time i heard David Wayne's voice or Kurdt Vanderhoof amazing guitar riffs and solo's and Kirk Arrington's amazing drums. Metal Church were on another level, they had a unique sound: catchy but heavy at the same time. They were pioneers of speed metal, which later became thrash metal. It was one of those albums that defined an important era in metal and an all time classic in it's own right...

David Wayne (1958-2005)

LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS WHAT ALBUM YOU WOULD LOVE TO HEAR AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME OR REBLOG AND AD YOURS...

you think some of these lines villains say on tv is stereotypical? I've seen russians say things that sound like they're from some villains lines in a movie script

Like in the book by Aiden Aslin "do you want a quick death or a beautiful death?"

The video the other day -- (soldiers arm around the other) "guess what!" "What: says the other, a bit drunk "I like to beat up drunks" -- hits him to the ground

And yes, the smersh channels. Like what even. Finding people who wear blue and yellow and dragging them in for "apology" videos. The language of it-- so smug it's sickening. "Comrade major"

Something something “Winston wasn’t sure if the thing was actually happening or if the effect was being electrically produced…”

I wonder if the torture device in Miniluv is just a giant, ungodly-powerful TENS unit? TENS units usually only go up to 20, which is painful for most people, even after having been warmed up for it with lower levels. Winston started off getting tortured by O’Brien at around level 30–40… which then went up to 70, then supposedly to 3,000, which made him black out and turn into a mindlessly-agreeable parrot; I’m sure there was something else going on with that though.
