Mandy Bites On Makin' Moves

in ,

BOOK THE CUT

🧮

  1. I don't plan. I'm pulled.

  2. I don’t move until I’m moved.

  3. The true move does what needs to be done. Across the board. With everyone.

  4. You never get there.

  5. The action is never the point.

  6. Things are always in motion, no matter how it appears.

  7. ‘Trying’ is imposing yourself on what naturally occurs without your intervention.

  8. Restraint is power in motion.

  9. You know exactly what to do and how to do it.

  10. You quell the noise by moving, and not moving, despite it.

  11. “I’m just following orders. Take it up with the Lord.” How to respond when people question your moves.

  12. I use the Devil to get closer to God. And Hell to get closer to Heaven.

  13. When you move, nothing moves. Everything moves when you’re still.

  14. Wanting it different is why it stays the same.

  15. Even when I'm single, I move like I'm taken.

  16. Fuck balance. There’s no such thing. Trust obsession. It moves everything.

  17. Avoidance is passive. Non-engagement is active.

  18. fluid; not fixed

  19. When you aim, you miss.

  20. When IT happens, it’s not ‘OH MY GOD!’ It’s ‘of course.’

  21. If your shit can be fucked with by another making moves, your shit clearly needs a good fucking.

  22. When you see what others cannot see, you move in ways they can’t understand.

  23. If it isn’t freely given, it isn’t yours to take.

  24. Things move pretty fast when there’s nothing in the way.

  25. The inner resistance you’re trying to ‘overcome’ by doing X,Y,Z, is the only (illusory) thing you actually need to ‘work on’.

  26. All you’re doing with all that doing is dancing around your own fire.

  27. You can’t ‘will’ / ‘pray’ / ‘affirm’ IT into being. You can only recognize that you are IT already. And make your moves from there.

  28. Your insistence on sticking to what you said you would do, instead of making the new, true move, is why your experience fucking blows.

  29. No amount of movement (or lack of movement) in the physical can override or compensate for the instability in your system.

  30. Make the move because it's true. Regardless of what comes next.

  31. You can. You just don’t want to — yet.

  32. It’s you putting things in your own way.

  33. The other’s moves are what you point to and use, to justify your inability to harness your power.

  34. Their moves are not your business.

  35. They can be however they want to be. I’ll make my moves accordingly.
