on seeking tribe ii

theres a lot wrong with the bloodfamily even if youre in a great one and therere no great ones only bad verybad and lessbad they fuck you up your mom and dad they dont mean to but they do all that and until we teach technology to do a better job which is impossible because were the teachers the dead are the only other option and weve written this little instruction manual to help whonyms like you who cant figure out the shenanigans of the living because you intuitively know you dont and cant belong to them to navigate the flows into that greater vaster realm the dead and dying and nonexistent and nevertobe

youll also have to learn different forms of receiving nurturing as the dead nurture differently than the living each has its pros and cons everything that cant be said can be said to the earless dead and everything that cant be said cant be said to the earless living and so you draw from each tribe the things of that tribe and are a family unto yourself and as has always been taught but rarely learned you are your own mother and child and father and sibling but youre not your own self

when you first cross over everything seems pretty much the same still as if the dead are commodities exactly like the living and you fall for the trick and dont change your behaviour or thinking at all it has to be this way the dead seep in like mycelium or radon or mendelevium or insanity and their seepages like a novel you cant put down if you even understand that with novels being what they are these days and when you realize theyre in its too late theyre here youre gone thats it

dont collect any artifacts from the crass portals to the dead what in the common tung are called tombstones or graves whether fake or artificial flowers vases pictures mementos plaques texts and so on for the dead will feel in their infinite distance your theft and may whimsically revenge you and anything you favour but should say a plastic flower be blown by the wind a demon or the rain from the initial site such that it lies on common ground and no indicator exists as to where among the deads wee remnant earthly rights it might rightly belong you may discreetly do take care scoop the item into a bag or backpack and those seeking tribe among the dead should never roam among the living without a carrying device so that such opportunities are never missed as its considered vulgar in that tedious way to be seen transporting objects from the liminal lands for such is any thing drawn from the orbit of real estate belonging to the portals of the dead and this principle applies even if a member of the livings responsible for moving the piece from the deads private portal plotted property onto common ground if you scoop an artifact waylaid in this way the dead know youre not responsible but the one who first scooped and theyll seek them and their loved ones out not you but of course if the wind moved the item it was nothing whonym but nature and natures one with the dead and they unlike the whonym are at peace for their alliances older than time and wheel and rock and even void
