I see myself going to Skull Island to domesticate King Kong using this bad boy.
I played one loop of Way of Nature on Monday. (On top of my current stack.)
Then I returned to our regularly scheduled programming.
I hadnāt paid enough attention when I saw it decades ago. I thought that it was directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Now Iāve noticed that it was produced by Coppola but directed by Godfrey Reggio. And Reggio went on to make a number of other films that I have not seen. (Well 2 or 3 more anyway). So, Iām bookmarking him.
I suspect that any of his films would be compatible with/facilitative of Way of Nature.
This is my first time reading this story it is F-ing hilarious
Any comments or observations from your running of it?
Only this:
And then, interestingly:
The day after I ran CWON I had women looking at me as I walked outside.
Didnāt happen with WANTED, but definitely happened after CWoN.
The first one was the best.
I was walking in one direction. She was jogging from the other direction. Admiring her face, I made brief eye contact. And, as she passed me, she returned the most lovely and enthusiastic smile using her eyes.
I continued walking thinking āDid that just happen?ā
Briefly mentioned it here:
Makes sense to me, Iām more of a CHOSEN kind of guy than a WANTED kind of guy.
Iāve got my Sun in Taurus. And I fit the stereotype. Quiet, grounded, and private, but when I do manage to communicate or interact, it tends to be straight-forward.
Iāve got Sun & Venus in Scorpio, and Ascendant in Taurus.
Iāve been Chosen to be the Mystery Man.
Same. Monday night before sleep. No dreams. No special effects the next day.
Then I continued my washout.
There are a lot of so-called modern problems that are the result of living lives out of balance.
Animals in captivity masturbate. They get depressed.
(EDIT: Okay, I seem to have exaggerated. Animals in the wild also masturbate apparently. Which makes sense, since most have not been in captivity for most of the millions of years of life on planet Earth. Hopefully thereās still some value to the rest of my rant.)
Itās not about some simplistic, idealized construct of āNatureā as being perfect.
But it is about studying, exploring, and understanding the cycles and seasons that support a healthy and well-balanced life.
Chosen: The Way of Nature is seeming even more crucial to me.
Eventually integrating it into either an Alchemist or a Paragon-based stack or custom.
Alchemist
Chosen: The Way of Nature
Light of Humility
The Streams
The Lines
And beyond.
Animals need to be limited and regulated by Nature.
A mature human being has the potential to apply healthy limits to herself, by choice. But only if she can be humble enough to recognize the importance of the larger context and to not live like an unsupervised teenager or child.
Once an electric light is invented, the immediate temptation is to simply stay up 24 hours a day. And that, writ large, is what weāre still currently doing. F**king up the cycles.
Itās not evil. Itās not impressive enough to be evil.
Itās just immature.
Not being worthy of this tiny bit of intelligence that weāve managed to evolve so far.
Anyhow, those are my thoughts.
There were follow ups:

Yep, but I saw today that he made another called Visitors. And another called Anima Mundi. And possibly 1 or 2 more.
You didnāt even bother to answer a genuine doubt about a title i had.
I donāt know what youāre referring to, and I canāt answer every single question on the forum. I get tagged in 100 posts a day, I answer what I can, we have support for the rest.
Do any of the listeners of this products have pets ?. If so have you noticed a pronounced change in their behaviours ?. I did a degree in animal physiology hence me being very curious about this.
I know that but you have been answering to people that made questions after i did. Even tagged you in a product thread.
You should consider asking your question while Iām still doing forum work, rather than trying to chastise me on this topic.
Chosen: The Way of Nature Core now available on the Q Store!
I donāt get it either, usually, because Iām not an exception. You neither. None of us is yet Saint feels when to answer.
Ok, itās not such a big deal.
Now i know that questions donāt get answered in order of time.
