I have this weird thing that happens. I ponder things and ponder them, then let them go as I move on to life and other things. Then all of a sudden, when the topic is the furthest thing from my mind, I'll get these flashes about it from nowhere.
Greenwoman has been sharing about her current journey with orgasm, Tantra and such. Some of us have been discussing it further. She's now found some peace with all of it and I'm happy for her.
So, tonight as I was clearing the dinner table, all of a sudden it came to me because of Greenwoman's discussion and the places it took me.
I realized that when I'm angry and upset about life and wanting the world to be any way other than what it is, I am, essentially, trying to top the universe from below.

Nice one. Gosh... very nice one.
Oooohhhhh, naughty girl. *giggles*
What a great analogy.
I think I've been there too. Sort of wrapped around the axle at the south pole. Days spinning past wildly fast; Visibility poor; everything seemingly upside down.
It seems like the rational mind is really just a tool to comprehend the axle in order to get unwrapped from around it, but that can turn into a fascination with that part of the wheel if one is not carefull.
Good Luck
Yeah, S...I went "oooooooooohhhh" when it flashed in. Made me smile.
It is, isn't it, RWK? We likey.
Yeah...yer smart Ric...had to read that a few times.:) but, yeah. BTW..excited about your new blog and glad you're writing it.
OK that seems to be the ultimate "topping from the bottom" and we know that never works out too well.
lol
The universe does seem to be the ultimate Domly-type, doesn't it.
So right out of nowhere my mind flashes to Don Quixote and tries to decide if he was dominant and trying to subdue those windmills, or if he was submissive (perhaps to the voices in his head.)
Odd I know, but that's the futility which sprang to mind at any mention of topping from the bottom, especially the world.
Thanks for the smile and for sharing, I love the flashes of clarity which come to us unannounced while we're doing mundane things. And I agree that these flashes only come when we've been ponder and thinking and working on gaining understanding. Then all of a sudden - poof! Mine come frequently while I'm showering, or when I first wake up. Of course I don't clear the dinner table nor do dishes (that's my son's chore) so I don't know that I wouldn't gain insight while doing so. :)

I promise to not tell him that you might benefit from doing his chores. Some things are best kept from the kids (rule #317 in the Parent's Handbook ;) )
You got me, I genuinely refuse to go into what does it mean 'top the world from below', I got a sort of pornographic, cowgirl style sexy episode in my mind and quickly realsed you didn't mean that then I got totally confused.........so I stopped and remembered a professor in University who was to all intents and purposes a complete headcase. Right up my street. Can you imagine watching your Proff with a wire coat hanger wrapped around his head singing woody guthrie.... in holy catholic ireland? Anyway his point about genius.......The information come in with the head area....it sinks down into the gut and gestates...( if I have the right word) then like a cow it comes back up into the mouth to be chewed over and goes down again......and finally the goodness comes out the experience, and Arcamedies jumps naked out the bath running down the street screaming Urika. Having explained that in this way I am beginning to think your post is saying that its silly to be angry at life..........I never am anyway, just at myself...and that is really silly.
It's a saying in the BDSM world...the same as "topping from the bottom." It means that the sub manipulates the Dom to do what they want or direcly directs the relationship pretending to submit, but only willing to do so in the ways that suit them. Like I hear many professional dommes say that men will call them and tell them exactly what they want them to do blow by blow..which is not being a sub. If it's a true D/s relationship, there may be parameters and a safe word, but they don't direct the show. Hope that clears it up ;)
I read this before I went away for the weekend and I've sat with it....sometimes with it just 'there', sometimes actively thinking about what this means to me and how it connects so neatly into the 'Big Blue Sky' thinking I've been doing lately.
Thank you for sharing this...I have a feeling it was an important post for me to read.
love and hugs xxx
