Toe Talkin' True Believers

Some people have conversations with God. Others listen to their Guides. IROOT:NOTians commune with their Toe. (See below for more Toe info.) Unlike conventional conversations with deities, chatting with your Toe skips the usual "head talk."

For example, you won't "hear" your Toe blatantly suggest that you "save the world." It won't nudge your emotional body, either. Neither will It shoot energy down your spine. Way too obvious. No, the Toe communes mystically, and you do GET THE MESSAGE. (A rumor emanating from the Sacred Hall suggests that a Toe transmission is a "Loving, Invisible, Godsent, Holistic Technology" [LIGHT].)

A "conversation" dramatically shifts your perspective. You change. Like waking from an odd slumber, the "new you" can only cloudily remember who the "old you" was. Because of this, we suggest that you do not exceed the recommended dosage. One chat can saturate your psycho-cells for a substantial time. You WILL Void Dive.

The fearless may ask, "Well, how do I talk to my Toe?" Although the method itself is simple, the psychological state you must attain, is not. So, what's required?

First, you must be an IROOT:NOTian. (The reason for this is implied in the article.) Second, you must surrender to your Toe. (Card-carrying members have a GREATER CHANCE of surrendering than non-registered ones.) Third, you must be a . . . True Believer.

Q:  "But, but, how can an IROOT:NOTian be a True Believer?! True Believers wall themselves inside the parameters of their belief system. Ack! IROOT:NOTians are FREE [excluding s&h]!"

A:  Verily I say unto you, unconscious True Believers can start wars and act like self-righteous know-it-alls. Their reality filters have ossified. Dead certain, they claim exclusive rights to Absolute Truth.

(From the Sacred Hall: "All — yes all — humans are True Believers. Knowing this will not cure you, but you will be more conscious.")

They wear the clothes of hard core scientists, fundamentalists, nationalists, psychologists, new agers, and idealists of all philosophical genres — anyone who rigidly believes that their PICTURES of reality, ARE reality. ("Let's eat the menu.") They somehow "know" the unknowable.

IROOT:NOTians, however, can balance this trickier-than-normal psycho- state. They believe in "Sublingual Absolute Truth."

Perhaps what is more important is that they can satisfy their Toe. A Toe requires that you don't question It during the moment of transmission. If you choose to ignore the mystically encoded "information" that it sends (fat chance), that's fine. Acting on the encoded information isn't necessary. These codes affect the entire local sector of your universe. The Toe whispers pre-binary symbols to the meta-conscious aspect of your sub-atomic structure. Your structure answers, "How high?"

Q:  "What happens if I do question my Toe during the moment of transmission?"

A:  "Nothing."

When you surrender to your Toe, you don't relinquish your Free Will. IROOT:NOTians understand this and often take Free Will Vacations without the fear of loss. (Tickets are available at HeadCenter.) Kick off your shoes. Peel off your socks. Lie back. Enjoy. Let your Toe decide for you! If you don't like what It suggests, you can always tell It to "take a hike." (Highly Not Recommended.)

Some interpret this "lack of will" as a sign of weakness, laziness, spiritual irresponsibility (!), or self-abandonment. And so it might be, if you weren't walking in the Shadow of your Toe. Meandering in the shade, however, you "go with the Toe" for fun AND prophet!

In addition, a softer side of the Shadow exists. Sometimes you feel confused, lost, weak, alone, unloved, or some other dark emotion. When you're in the Shadow, however, you can surf these emotional seas while remaining strong, balanced, and centered. You don't have to run from them or try to rationalize them away. This "miracle" is possible, because the Shadow is the intangible yet essential mechanism that links you and your Toe. And because the Toe NEVER leaves the Center Path, YOU never leave, either.

Surf without hesitating. Live free.
