4:08 AM-7/12/17

Question for Joan  Ruvinsky
approx 5 months before her Final Flight this time around:

WHAT WOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
YOU WANT YOUR STUDENTS TO REMEMBER?

Joan:
O.........I WOULD THINK THAT ANYTHING
THAT COMES FROM MEMORY
WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE FORGOTTEN.

IF YOU CAN FORGET IT,
THEN IT'S USELESS.
YOU NEED TO BE IT.....
​
SO HOPEFULLY ...
THEY WOULDN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING.

 The Story of Baubo

Baubo is the Greek Goddess
whose mouth is her vulva
and
her nipples her eyes.
She is the bringer of belly laughs and the sensual tide
of voluptuously sumptuous hips.
She is also the one who brought a smile to Demeters face
as a broken heart melted with defeat.
Baubo is the one who inspired Demeter with dirty womanly secrets
spoken from under her dress.
For Persephone was not gone altogether,
but merely on a journey through the underworld.

Dirty can take on a new meaning when we think about how nourishing soil is,
and murky mud blends this soil with soul quenching water 
to inspire the mystery of depth.

"...the little belly Goddess Baubo raises the interesting idea that a little obscenity can help to break a depression...so in your self healing trove, put small "dirt stories," Baubo kind of stories..

Baubo has another aspect; she sees through her nipples...To see through the nipples is certainly a sensory attribute.
The nipples are psychic organs,
responsive to temperature,
fear, anger, and noise.
They are a sensing organ as much as the eyes in the head.

And as for "speaking from the vulva,"
it is, symbolically, speaking from the primae materia,
the basic, most honest level of truth -- the vital os.

What else is there to say but that Baubo speaks from the mother lode,
the deep mine, literally the depths.

In the story of Demeter searching for her daughter, no one knows what words Baubo actually spoke to Demeter
. But we can have some ideas."
- Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes -

In her book, Women Who Run With the Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estés describes the effects of laughter on our bodies, specifically for women.
According to Estés, various ancient cultures often told stories of the “Dirty Goddesses,”
or women dedicated to the obscene and the sensual.
But in this case, Estés notes,
obscene is not to be taken in its more modern interpretation (unpopular and offensive),
but in its older translation,
which means wizard or sorceress.
It is part of being wild.
Essentially, these women represented the fun and fantastical,
the sensual and the deep belly laughs.
They enjoyed life.

Estés also states:
In laughter,
a woman breathes fully, and when she does,
she may begin to feel unsanctioned feelings.

And what could these feelings be?
Well, they turn out not to be feelings
so much as relief and remedies for feelings,
often causing the release of stopped-up tears
or the reclamation of forgotten memories,
​or the bursting of chains on the sensual personality.

Curious by nature, I ask a lot of questions. 
During the years of my apprenticeship with Joan, she was infinitely patient with my indefatigable pursuit of truth, only on the rarest of occasions insisting that the "shop was closed" and even then with a wink and a smile which reassured me that it would reopen for business after her class preparations or her breakfast or a good night's sleep.  There was nothing she loved to do more than teach, thus never a day passed without talk of consciousness inserting itself between activities.
Occasionally I entertain worrisome thoughts about all that I have forgotten -- the sound of Joan's laugh, which tambura tuning goes with which chant -- and most importantly, the non-dual understanding, drawn from her many years of practice and affirmed by her teacher, Jean Klein, which Joan so generously shared with me and those who had the privilege of her company.
This morning I happened upon a short video I took of Joan about five months before her body transitioned. In it she addresses the topic of remembering and forgetting.  In less than 30 seconds she clarifies the matter... with a twinkle in her eye.  I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
 
Love,
Kathleen

pathless ponderings

 Joan Ruvinsky

 
Q: Is there any such thing then, as universal truth?
 
Joan:
The truth cannot be spoken.
  If it's spoken it's not the truth. 
The Buddha just held up a flower.
