"Wild NOT Feral. From Love NOT For Love" by Tony Searl on SUBSTACK
Disconcerting how many otherwise erudite authors confuse “feral” with “wild”.
True wild is natural. True wild is As conceived, as born with no attached “terms & conditions”,
no external programming, a simple, common, ordinary inner wilderness.
True wild is unfettered, unadulterated, unsullied and untouched by external labels or external attached mind expectations.
True wild is as created. Without a glimmer of labelled, conditioned dis integrated ego nor attached domestication.
Feral is the antithesis of wild.
Feral is a once wild animal now living outside its natural environs.
Feral is tethered, trained, obedient, caged, cornered, trapped, conditioned by lion tamers,
performative pressures to show up, that is the true definition of “feral”.
So please, by all means, return to your wild, from domesticated feral,
return to who you as one creature were originally conceived as,
wild, unconditioned, no programs, no installed apps, no external expert labels or slogans or sales pitches.
Be wild, not feral.
Be a wild partner, not a feral project.
From the connected integrated one whole wildness of love, from love,
NOT for love, not feral and domesticated and tamely attached to a dis integrated attached mind, fractured attached minds, feral and fear full, people pleasing, procrastinating, perfectionism, competing, comparing, controlling, contesting and worst of all the feels, counterfeit empathy, those tamely domesticated ferals without discerning boundaries.
Stand for something or you will fall for anything.
Comfort, convenience, settled swamps, scum on the shallow surface pond,
addicted, afflicted, checked out unable to face your own music or conduct your own life
by turning your back on the crowd,
whereas ferals follow, ferals do as they are sold buy Sir Cuss line tamers,
feral “think” they are rebels,
but in reality ferals are the trapped, trained, terrified tethered circus monkeys 9 to 5
like click work click bait ferals performing for peanuts in societie’s circus.
The wild creatures simply witness, yawn and smile gently inside,
aware the real wild does not have to prove a god damned thing.
No re bell needed, wild creatures come to their own realisation when
external feral crisis, feral chaos and feral drama simply gets too much!
Wild simply smiles and says gently, “enough is enough”.
Cease The Reaching. Cease Competing. Cease Playing Endless Entitled Attached Games.
Simply Listen, pay attention, be astonished, remain freely wild,
not trapped trained performative feral.
Remain as One creature in one creation.
Not above or below any other wild creature.
And most importantly? Most simply? Most ordinarily? Most common?
Never ever be an unkind feral asshole!
Only and always for ever and ever
From Love, NOT For Love.
