On Rainbows and Space: 5

Performance: What is Accomplished, Contrasted with Capacity.

We must be conscious of our performances in order to uphold our own lifestyle.

In order to function: Use what you got.
Know where you are.
Know what you can do.
Know why you are doing it.

Unconscious performance can be manipulated by titles, labels, abstract forces. Unconscious performance is how the Man Threat keeps you within his construction. It is how he keeps you from being a human.

“She was just a blank shape, the empty vessel in which each of them strove to preserve, not the illusion of himself nor his illusion of the other but what each conceived the other to believe himself to be”
-William Faulkner; Absolom, Absolom! (119-120)

If we unconsciously perform, we are muted and thus, mutated. ‘The other’

(the female; the grotesque; the representative; the indigenous; the frontier; etc.)
performs unconsciously (the parenthetical, instead) and is, thus, wiped blank:

(the female; the grotesque; the representative; the indigenous; the frontier; etc.)
And can be stretched and replaced with abstractions and constructions unlike what true being is.

(bitch; monster; scary; disgusting; dark; ill-repute; freakish; to be destroyed; etc.)
