--> 00:03:36.480 yeah and I wanted to also say that I had 00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:38.760 the opportunity to to live in the 00:03:38.760 --> 00:03:42.540 Redwoods um this summer and I lived with 00:03:42.540 --> 00:03:45.599 donkeys right in my front yard and 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.640 chickens in my backyard 00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:50.099 and I thought of you a lot Bonnie and um 00:03:50.099 --> 00:03:52.519 and I absolutely 00:03:52.519 --> 00:03:55.739 loved waking up to the donkey calls 00:03:55.739 --> 00:03:58.200 every morning it just I recorded them 00:03:58.200 --> 00:04:00.599 and I still listened to them on my phone 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.080 all the time and every time I hear them 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.739 I don't know it brings a very particular 00:04:07.739 --> 00:04:11.400 connection and joy like I I laugh I it's 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.040 like uncontrollable like it just bubbles 00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:15.360 up 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:16.919 um and that because that was my first 00:04:16.919 --> 00:04:19.859 experience of of living like that and 00:04:19.859 --> 00:04:23.340 then also having the trees I mean it was 00:04:23.340 --> 00:04:25.680 just it was just really really 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.500 incredible and I you know just really 00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:31.380 grateful for that experience 00:04:31.380 --> 00:04:33.540 I just wanted to share that 00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:35.960 yeah 00:04:47.220 --> 00:04:49.139 you know you can keep that in mind when 00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:52.500 we do the practice today because 00:04:52.500 --> 00:04:53.400 um 00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:55.919 when we asked this question you know how 00:04:55.919 --> 00:04:58.199 are we here or 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.960 um what is the template 00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:03.060 we often ask it from our human 00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:06.780 perspective right and so what comes from 00:05:06.780 --> 00:05:10.800 uh what comes into our minds is 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.500 like The Moody Blues song you know that 00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:15.419 all this stuff we're doing on the planet 00:05:15.419 --> 00:05:17.699 and stuff but you know how did the trees 00:05:17.699 --> 00:05:20.580 get here and how come the donkeys 00:05:20.580 --> 00:05:22.919 because it's so easy for the donkeys to 00:05:22.919 --> 00:05:26.160 be happy uh 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:30.000 you know so one of the things we want to 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.600 do in this practice is is 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.780 use the context that's arising for us 00:05:36.780 --> 00:05:40.440 for us it's interesting 00:05:40.440 --> 00:05:42.500 um 00:05:46.979 --> 00:05:48.840 yeah because you can really you feel 00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:50.820 that you feel that relationship and 00:05:50.820 --> 00:05:52.259 that's that's an interesting 00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:54.479 relationship to contemplate when we're 00:05:54.479 --> 00:05:55.680 constant when we're going to go and 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.320 contemplate this question 00:05:58.320 --> 00:06:00.320 um 00:06:14.820 --> 00:06:17.759 we're just doing a check-in if to see 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:22.860 you know maybe till the quarter after uh 00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:24.539 to see what you've been up to this 00:06:24.539 --> 00:06:26.780 summer 00:06:27.180 --> 00:06:28.440 um 00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:30.120 and if there's any 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:31.800 I already checked in for Marie and Ray 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.720 no no you guys should check in how it 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.419 talk to us about Italy 00:06:36.419 --> 00:06:39.800 and Italy not 00:06:40.380 --> 00:06:42.380 um 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.080 I realized being here I have absolutely 00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:49.319 no equanimity 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.500 I can't contain myself I don't even know 00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:54.600 what I look like walking around the 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.639 streets but 00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.080 um 00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:01.020 I don't know why I'm so happy here 00:07:01.020 --> 00:07:03.900 but there's a tremendous happiness and 00:07:03.900 --> 00:07:06.060 it's just awesome just step into it 00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:07.680 every day 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:09.539 yeah 00:07:09.539 --> 00:07:11.140 yeah it's it's 00:07:11.140 --> 00:07:11.400 [Music] 00:07:11.400 --> 00:07:13.400 um 00:07:14.460 --> 00:07:17.460 it feels huge and 00:07:17.460 --> 00:07:20.160 the time that you can see here is very 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.139 different than the kind of time 00:07:22.139 --> 00:07:24.419 that's at home or that's available at 00:07:24.419 --> 00:07:25.560 home 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:27.900 the kind of human time that's present 00:07:27.900 --> 00:07:30.479 here just even in the walls and on the 00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:32.840 streets 00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:37.680 um so that's that's awesome 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:39.599 and the food I mean you know people talk 00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:41.220 about the difference the food is so 00:07:41.220 --> 00:07:43.440 incredibly different here it's so 00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:44.580 different 00:07:44.580 --> 00:07:47.580 uh just attack not just a taste but the 00:07:47.580 --> 00:07:50.520 textures and the intention behind it is 00:07:50.520 --> 00:07:53.580 just wonderful so anyway 00:07:53.580 --> 00:07:55.919 um that's that and Marie is coming on 00:07:55.919 --> 00:07:57.960 Tuesday 00:07:57.960 --> 00:08:00.240 so we get to share this 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:01.740 hi

great to be back 00:08:22.020 --> 00:08:22.860 um 00:08:22.860 --> 00:08:25.620 and it feels like 00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:26.639 um 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.240 like the pop-up school has been it 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.000 hasn't gone anywhere it's it's always 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.440 sort of there and a presence 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.200 um so 00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:46.560 um and having live virtual bodies versus 00:08:46.560 --> 00:08:48.060 just 00:08:48.060 --> 00:08:48.959 um 00:08:48.959 --> 00:08:51.480 yeah the other ways that the pop-up 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.480 School stays present is is a good thing 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.940 I think 00:08:56.940 --> 00:08:57.660 um 00:08:57.660 --> 00:09:00.480 one thing I'll I'll share that stands 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.459 out to me 00:09:02.459 --> 00:09:03.060 um 00:09:03.060 --> 00:09:07.140 something I did over my summer was 00:09:07.140 --> 00:09:09.959 um traveled to a place I'd never been 00:09:09.959 --> 00:09:13.320 before which was 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.300 um I've been to a lot of troubled places 00:09:15.300 --> 00:09:17.580 in our world 00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:20.040 um but this one kind of 00:09:20.040 --> 00:09:22.320 um got me like 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.440 it kind of took me for a ride 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:27.899 um so I was 00:09:27.899 --> 00:09:29.459 um I spent 00:09:29.459 --> 00:09:34.080 twice I traveled to Iraq for two weeks 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.420 at a time 00:09:35.420 --> 00:09:37.260 and 00:09:37.260 --> 00:09:39.959 um and I think the thing that I want to 00:09:39.959 --> 00:09:43.019 share about the trip was because I'm 00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:48.080 just writing up the report from it and 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:49.380 um 00:09:49.380 --> 00:09:54.959 so evaluating a project that is working 00:09:54.959 --> 00:09:57.360 on social cohesion in the north of Iraq 00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.060 where there's just a 00:10:00.060 --> 00:10:01.740 um 00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:04.040 people have been through just 00:10:04.040 --> 00:10:07.500 unbelievable suffering and so hanging 00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:09.839 out with the transcripts it reminds me 00:10:09.839 --> 00:10:12.300 of 00:10:12.300 --> 00:10:13.100 um 00:10:13.100 --> 00:10:17.279 I love this story you told at one point 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.220 Bonnie about like your your duck that 00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:22.860 got like beat up in the night and then 00:10:22.860 --> 00:10:24.959 he showed up in the pond 00:10:24.959 --> 00:10:27.240 happy 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:29.580 and I feel like that's what I've gotten 00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:33.839 to hang out and witnesses that within 00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:34.980 um 00:10:34.980 --> 00:10:39.000 uh kind of that human capacity to just 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:40.580 kind of Shake It Off 00:10:40.580 --> 00:10:44.339 and come back and 00:10:44.339 --> 00:10:47.459 um the way in which you know despite how 00:10:47.459 --> 00:10:48.660 much can 00:10:48.660 --> 00:10:51.839 have been broken 00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:55.260 um just to kind of step back into a 00:10:55.260 --> 00:10:59.720 sense of happiness to be alive 00:11:02.040 --> 00:11:04.019 so 00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:05.459 um 00:11:05.459 --> 00:11:08.100 that's that's about all I've got except 00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:11.220 I I will 00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:14.579 um I will reveal that I have two pop-up 00:11:14.579 --> 00:11:17.579 School uh friends 00:11:17.579 --> 00:11:20.459 that are kind of I don't know where they

00:11:40.980 here somewhere 00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:42.899 um yeah so 00:11:42.899 --> 00:11:46.459 um Holly and Kevin are here 00:11:46.620 --> 00:11:49.279 somewhere 00:11:56.339 --> 00:11:59.820 I'll just say that I got to read part of 00:11:59.820 --> 00:12:02.459 Marie's report 00:12:02.459 --> 00:12:05.880 and if I can reveal Marie 00:12:05.880 --> 00:12:09.180 the word the phrase you used 00:12:09.180 --> 00:12:14.720 she managed to sneak in Social imaginary 00:12:14.940 --> 00:12:19.019 which I thought was completely brilliant 00:12:19.019 --> 00:12:21.420 and apropos 00:12:21.420 --> 00:12:24.120 and I've missed everyone I feel like 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.700 that kid who gets new pencils and a 00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:29.640 backpack and a notebook and I'm back to 00:12:29.640 --> 00:12:33.899 school and it's my happy place so glad 00:12:33.899 --> 00:12:36.440 to be back 00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:47.820 okay feels good to be back 00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:49.380 um 00:12:49.380 --> 00:12:52.200 probably the highlight of the summer 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:55.620 um we got to visit BC in Vancouver 00:12:55.620 --> 00:12:58.019 specifically and 00:12:58.019 --> 00:12:58.860 um 00:12:58.860 --> 00:13:01.740 jolt had been there once before for a 00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:04.880 quick trip but it was my first time and 00:13:04.880 --> 00:13:07.380 we've been kind of going back and forth 00:13:07.380 --> 00:13:09.480 about like where to live we live in 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.060 Mexico now like do we stay 00:13:12.060 --> 00:13:13.860 here where there's like a lot of 00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:15.600 vibrancy and I've been here and like 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.360 know the culture but like kind of like 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.220 had a bit of a longing for like 00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:22.079 somewhere more similar to where I grew 00:13:22.079 --> 00:13:22.800 up 00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:25.139 but where do we go and like know where 00:13:25.139 --> 00:13:27.240 it was just feeling right 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.720 um and we had no intention of uh 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:32.279 like even thinking about moving there 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:34.200 but we like both of our shoulders just 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:37.500 kind of dropped when we were there 00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:40.500 um I think some combination of like 00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:44.639 the natural environment and just how 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.440 like friend like a combination of 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.360 friendly and interesting we found the 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:51.600 average stranger to be 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:54.000 um in a way that didn't feel like I 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.420 don't know there's 00:13:56.940 --> 00:13:59.160 not to down but 00:13:59.160 --> 00:14:00.420 um kind of like East Coast Canada 00:14:00.420 --> 00:14:01.680 there's kind of like a pervasive 00:14:01.680 --> 00:14:03.300 politeness 00:14:03.300 --> 00:14:04.380 um but there it just felt like a 00:14:04.380 --> 00:14:07.079 pervasive like happiness and 00:14:07.079 --> 00:14:09.600 friendliness to be in nature 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:10.320 um 00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:11.639 yeah and there were just like so many 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.320 sites and like the mountains and the 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.019 ocean like combined with like a really 00:14:16.019 --> 00:14:19.380 diverse and dynamic city uh so yeah we 00:14:19.380 --> 00:14:21.300 decided that we'll make that home in 00:14:21.300 --> 00:14:23.339 like a year or so and that's that's 00:14:23.339 --> 00:14:24.720 really exciting that was really great 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.040 yeah yeah it was a really great trip 00:14:28.040 --> 00:14:30.480 development yeah yeah really cost of 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.959 living be damned this is just for us so 00:14:33.959 --> 00:14:38.300 yeah that was a development 00:14:42.060 --> 00:14:44.040 I'll share before we start I love 00:14:44.040 --> 00:14:46.279 donkeys 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.899 Susan I'm glad you got to be with 00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:51.360 donkeys I lived on a farm in Mississippi 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.339 for two years and there was a donkey 00:14:53.339 --> 00:14:55.680 like in the field next door 00:14:55.680 --> 00:14:56.880 it was 00:14:56.880 --> 00:14:57.899 um 00:14:57.899 --> 00:15:00.959 yeah uh so 00:15:00.959 --> 00:15:05.399 I've been contemplating gravity 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.060 and 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:10.680 um well just yesterday I was 00:15:10.680 --> 00:15:14.660 contemplating gravity and 00:15:14.660 --> 00:15:17.760 like that it's not really a thing right 00:15:17.760 --> 00:15:19.740 I mean it's 00:15:19.740 --> 00:15:21.839 like we don't really know why I'm 00:15:21.839 --> 00:15:24.120 bringing this up it it just came up 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.120 funny when you first said 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.760 how is it that we're all here 00:15:29.760 --> 00:15:31.740 you know it's like we don't really know 00:15:31.740 --> 00:15:33.860 why gravity 00:15:33.860 --> 00:15:36.660 does what it does it's kind of like when 00:15:36.660 --> 00:15:38.220 you were talking about electricity and 00:15:38.220 --> 00:15:40.380 little animism video that I did with you 00:15:40.380 --> 00:15:43.560 it's like that's just what we call it 00:15:43.560 --> 00:15:45.120 and 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.639 you know I don't for me more and more 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:49.699 coming back to just the the simple 00:15:49.699 --> 00:15:53.279 Miracle of being here 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:54.600 is 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.779 is enough so I'm appreciating being in 00:15:57.779 --> 00:16:01.100 the miracle with you all right now 00:16:01.680 --> 00:16:03.950 yeah so maybe I'll start from there 00:16:03.950 --> 00:16:04.139 [Music] 00:16:04.139 --> 00:16:06.060 um 00:16:06.060 --> 00:16:07.500 gravity 00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:09.480 for example and I've said this before 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:12.199 but 00:16:12.959 --> 00:16:15.000 we think of you know 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.320 we see a lake and we say well the water 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:21.060 stays in the lake because it's like a 00:16:21.060 --> 00:16:23.339 bowl and the water is in the bowl 00:16:23.339 --> 00:16:25.920 and then we see the ocean which is even 00:16:25.920 --> 00:16:28.199 weirder because it wraps around the 00:16:28.199 --> 00:16:29.760 Earth but 00:16:29.760 --> 00:16:32.160 in general we still think you know 00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:34.440 there's depths in there and it's deep 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.199 and there's trenches and it and it sinks 00:16:37.199 --> 00:16:39.540 in there because it's like water in a 00:16:39.540 --> 00:16:41.519 bowl but then when we look at the Earth 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.519 and you see the ocean 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.980 in space 00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:51.120 it's not really in a bowl it's just kind 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.300 of 00:16:54.540 --> 00:16:56.820 grabbing onto the Earth 00:16:56.820 --> 00:16:59.279 uh 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:04.020 and um the reason why I I'm gonna build 00:17:04.020 --> 00:17:06.540 the course today on this what you say is 00:17:06.540 --> 00:17:08.640 because 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.459 that what I just said is so much closer 00:17:11.459 --> 00:17:13.260 to the truth it's not just the other 00:17:13.260 --> 00:17:15.179 side of my perspective it's actually 00:17:15.179 --> 00:17:19.740 more real than thinking that water's in 00:17:19.740 --> 00:17:22.380 a bowl because the bowl is holding it 00:17:22.380 --> 00:17:24.299 right 00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:26.640 um and 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:28.140 um 00:17:28.140 --> 00:17:30.960 um why are we 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.260 starting with this thing with Origins 00:17:34.260 --> 00:17:37.260 um there's a couple reasons uh one is 00:17:37.260 --> 00:17:38.400 because 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.160 the book that I'm writing one of the 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:43.460 chapters big chapters is called Origins 00:17:43.460 --> 00:17:48.780 and I realized like as as a society 00:17:48.780 --> 00:17:51.539 um as a whole human race talk about the 00:17:51.539 --> 00:17:53.760 lack of social cohesion we don't have a 00:17:53.760 --> 00:17:56.760 shared origin story we don't have one 00:17:56.760 --> 00:17:58.260 that works 00:17:58.260 --> 00:18:01.020 we don't have one that's compelling and 00:18:01.020 --> 00:18:03.120 it doesn't conflict like okay I believe 00:18:03.120 --> 00:18:04.919 God made the world but I'm also 00:18:04.919 --> 00:18:07.799 scientifically attuned 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:12.120 um and I've been spending a lot of time 00:18:12.120 --> 00:18:15.480 thinking like uh 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:17.480 um 00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:19.980 and and you know I can send out the 00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:22.260 course contentually and there's not much 00:18:22.260 --> 00:18:25.740 in it because mostly what you do when 00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:28.679 when you first start to talk about these 00:18:28.679 --> 00:18:30.660 things like Katie said the mystery is 00:18:30.660 --> 00:18:32.220 you realize that we have all these 00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:35.340 epistemic constraints 00:18:35.340 --> 00:18:38.400 up down right left 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.760 um and so one of the 00:18:41.760 --> 00:18:45.059 um goals of producing something like 00:18:45.059 --> 00:18:50.700 Collective Insight practice is to 00:18:50.700 --> 00:18:53.220 release the epistemic constraints 00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:55.860 release the constraints of how we can 00:18:55.860 --> 00:18:57.360 think 00:18:57.360 --> 00:18:59.760 right this is 00:18:59.760 --> 00:19:03.660 um in order so we can 00:19:03.660 --> 00:19:05.720 um 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.940 in order so we can come up with a 00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:11.880 compelling origin story I mean as as a 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:14.039 species we don't have one 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:17.820 we just don't have one and 00:19:17.820 --> 00:19:22.020 I find that very peculiar after all the 00:19:22.020 --> 00:19:24.000 time we are here 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:25.620 um there have been times when we've had 00:19:25.620 --> 00:19:26.700 them 00:19:26.700 --> 00:19:30.960 um they've worked I guess for a while 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.280 um but 00:19:34.380 --> 00:19:36.179 there's all these Logistics like 00:19:36.179 --> 00:19:38.880 logistical problems with our brain 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.880 um so one of the things for example I've 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.760 also been doing a lot of talking in 00:19:44.760 --> 00:19:47.220 August you might have noticed 00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:48.539 um 00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:50.580 and I've had great conversations with 00:19:50.580 --> 00:19:52.679 Greg Enriquez and he's starting to 00:19:52.679 --> 00:19:55.760 realize that 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.000 as he moves down his stack 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.059 uh once he gets to matter he buys into 00:20:03.059 --> 00:20:05.100 Newtonian 00:20:05.100 --> 00:20:07.500 causally and I'm like well that's your 00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:09.299 problem that's why you have to have such 00:20:09.299 --> 00:20:11.760 a strong emergent system 00:20:11.760 --> 00:20:15.120 because how do you reconcile our sense 00:20:15.120 --> 00:20:16.260 of life 00:20:16.260 --> 00:20:19.380 and choice and freedom and the fact that 00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:22.020 we're made up of matter like there's a 00:20:22.020 --> 00:20:24.960 there's a there's a double bind his 00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:27.840 system has placed him and John traviki 00:20:27.840 --> 00:20:28.740 in 00:20:28.740 --> 00:20:30.900 and so 00:20:30.900 --> 00:20:32.960 um 00:20:33.080 --> 00:20:37.799 there is no place to go and find the 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:40.559 answer to this question currently as far 00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.480 as I'm concerned 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:45.240 um there's other people offering certain 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:49.679 Alternatives like uh David J Temple 00:20:49.679 --> 00:20:52.140 which is a pseudonym for Gaffney and 00:20:52.140 --> 00:20:55.440 Steins Cosmo erotic humanism they start 00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.900 from metaphysical principles but they 00:20:57.900 --> 00:21:00.720 just they just start from there 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.539 this is also you'll find a huge 00:21:03.539 --> 00:21:06.120 epistemic complaint constraint it is a 00:21:06.120 --> 00:21:08.460 complaint also 00:21:08.460 --> 00:21:10.320 um and I was going to write it in the 00:21:10.320 --> 00:21:13.500 course content but it's it was too hard 00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:15.480 to 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:19.320 um to describe that way and I'll just 00:21:19.320 --> 00:21:22.919 describe it in and that is one of the 00:21:22.919 --> 00:21:25.919 biggest epistemic constraints we have or 00:21:25.919 --> 00:21:28.260 one of the most fundamental I think you 00:21:28.260 --> 00:21:31.140 get a lot of the other things right like 00:21:31.140 --> 00:21:34.440 there's many many is 00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:35.880 um 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:41.460 is refer is is this is the uh 00:21:41.460 --> 00:21:44.460 is verbalized or represented by the Zen 00:21:44.460 --> 00:21:47.760 Cohen one hand clapping 00:21:47.760 --> 00:21:51.299 and what do I mean by that when once we 00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:53.220 start to do this practice you're going 00:21:53.220 --> 00:21:56.460 to notice that the mind is going to say 00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:58.919 okay you can say God that's the one hand 00:21:58.919 --> 00:22:00.659 God and then you're going to say well 00:22:00.659 --> 00:22:02.280 who put God there 00:22:02.280 --> 00:22:04.919 the Mind always wants something on the 00:22:04.919 --> 00:22:07.020 other side like before there was 00:22:07.020 --> 00:22:08.460 something there was nothing 00:22:08.460 --> 00:22:12.780 but then you you put like you have an 00:22:12.780 --> 00:22:14.520 idea that that nothing is something 00:22:14.520 --> 00:22:18.120 right and so for every this we have to 00:22:18.120 --> 00:22:19.380 have of that 00:22:19.380 --> 00:22:22.440 so all these original origin stories 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:24.120 they have a feminine principle and then 00:22:24.120 --> 00:22:25.740 they have a masculine principle they 00:22:25.740 --> 00:22:28.380 have a Yen and they are young and and 00:22:28.380 --> 00:22:30.840 there might be the case 00:22:30.840 --> 00:22:33.120 that everything's always been this way 00:22:33.120 --> 00:22:35.820 and that's just the truth that would be 00:22:35.820 --> 00:22:39.059 a one-hand clapping uh 00:22:39.059 --> 00:22:41.900 um insight 00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:45.600 that this whole thing of like where do 00:22:45.600 --> 00:22:47.880 things start and where are they going is 00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:51.559 itself problematic 00:22:52.380 --> 00:22:55.100 um now 00:22:57.179 --> 00:23:02.280 that is an experience that 00:23:03.360 --> 00:23:08.220 may happen in this in this 00:23:08.220 --> 00:23:10.080 um practice 00:23:10.080 --> 00:23:12.059 and there's a lot of things that might 00:23:12.059 --> 00:23:14.880 happen in this practice 00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:18.000 um but I just put that one there because 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:19.919 if you can 00:23:19.919 --> 00:23:24.860 if if you start to toy with 00:23:24.860 --> 00:23:27.720 releasing the need for if there is this 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:30.780 then there must be something else 00:23:30.780 --> 00:23:33.059 to balance it 00:23:33.059 --> 00:23:37.620 um then where your Insight will lead is 00:23:37.620 --> 00:23:40.520 um will be where 00:23:40.520 --> 00:23:43.500 a lot where very few people have 00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:45.780 articulated it before does that make 00:23:45.780 --> 00:23:50.419 sense like like we're interested in 00:23:50.419 --> 00:23:52.380 allowing 00:23:52.380 --> 00:23:54.659 our frames 00:23:54.659 --> 00:23:58.440 to reveal themselves and then for us to 00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:02.520 ask them to step aside 00:24:02.520 --> 00:24:04.620 now we do want to end up with an origin 00:24:04.620 --> 00:24:05.880 story 00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:07.200 um 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.200 so it will coalesce into some kind of 00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.059 framing eventually 00:24:12.059 --> 00:24:14.280 uh if if there's no you know if it has 00:24:14.280 --> 00:24:18.000 no no constraints it's not going to be a 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.860 story you can tell 00:24:19.860 --> 00:24:22.200 um and 00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:22.360 um 00:24:22.360 --> 00:24:24.780 [Music] 00:24:24.780 --> 00:24:27.900 that's that's also in the mix but 00:24:27.900 --> 00:24:28.740 um 00:24:28.740 --> 00:24:31.620 were also being practical Collective 00:24:31.620 --> 00:24:32.940 insect practice 00:24:32.940 --> 00:24:37.980 is interested in in actual outcomes 00:24:37.980 --> 00:24:40.620 um and in this case is that we don't 00:24:40.620 --> 00:24:42.780 have a compelling origin story that's 00:24:42.780 --> 00:24:44.960 consilient with 00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.480 spiritual intuition and some kind of 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:51.059 scientific reasonableness I'm not saying 00:24:51.059 --> 00:24:53.400 reductive materialism 00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:56.640 um that's not going to work but 00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:58.700 um 00:25:00.360 --> 00:25:03.000 yeah does that make sense that in terms 00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:04.740 of what we're after here I'm going to 00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:06.539 give you instructions to do Collective 00:25:06.539 --> 00:25:08.880 Insight practice and part of this then 00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:11.280 is just to practice this this 00:25:11.280 --> 00:25:13.200 methodology 00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:14.340 um 00:25:14.340 --> 00:25:17.039 um which we won't be able to be really 00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:20.580 good at it uh day one but we'll gonna 00:25:20.580 --> 00:25:25.140 use it throughout all these um 00:25:25.140 --> 00:25:27.659 these four modules 00:25:27.659 --> 00:25:30.539 um to finish the year and then you know 00:25:30.539 --> 00:25:33.659 we can actually as we build capacity we 00:25:33.659 --> 00:25:35.100 can actually start asking questions 00:25:35.100 --> 00:25:37.020 about Collective Insight practice itself 00:25:37.020 --> 00:25:40.020 as a as a practice again 00:25:40.020 --> 00:25:41.940 um so so 00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:44.220 we're doing we're doing both these 00:25:44.220 --> 00:25:45.840 things we're in service to a question 00:25:45.840 --> 00:25:48.299 that's in service to an outcome and 00:25:48.299 --> 00:25:50.760 we're going to practice a technology 00:25:50.760 --> 00:25:54.419 that is a little weird now 00:25:54.419 --> 00:25:56.520 I am going to teach you Collective 00:25:56.520 --> 00:25:58.740 Insight practice in a way that I would 00:25:58.740 --> 00:26:00.900 never teach 00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:05.880 a new group okay like do not try this at 00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:07.020 home 00:26:07.020 --> 00:26:10.260 um one of the reasons why is we don't 00:26:10.260 --> 00:26:12.659 have to practice presencing in this 00:26:12.659 --> 00:26:14.520 group we've been presencing ourselves 00:26:14.520 --> 00:26:16.919 for nine months so 00:26:16.919 --> 00:26:19.020 it's not something we have to worry 00:26:19.020 --> 00:26:22.200 about it's already done it's never you 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:23.940 know it's never done done but what I'm 00:26:23.940 --> 00:26:26.520 saying is like that part 00:26:26.520 --> 00:26:29.159 we can just trust it we don't have to 00:26:29.159 --> 00:26:31.260 pay attention to it 00:26:31.260 --> 00:26:34.020 um we've I've we've snuck it in behind 00:26:34.020 --> 00:26:36.600 the scenes you're already done with that 00:26:36.600 --> 00:26:39.179 that's that's already happened 00:26:39.179 --> 00:26:41.580 um and as we know in real life with new 00:26:41.580 --> 00:26:44.940 groups or even uh in certain situations 00:26:44.940 --> 00:26:48.779 like if we all met in person there would 00:26:48.779 --> 00:26:51.720 be some some new territory to do a 00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:54.480 little bit of that that in so this is 00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:58.380 not oh it's not it's not for uh regular 00:26:58.380 --> 00:27:00.840 people that this is more High weirdness 00:27:00.840 --> 00:27:03.000 for this this group so does that make 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:05.820 sense like you would never uh 00:27:05.820 --> 00:27:08.580 um and and not only have we presenced 00:27:08.580 --> 00:27:11.100 ourselves but the amount of trust we 00:27:11.100 --> 00:27:13.860 have in Bonnie's weird kind of things 00:27:13.860 --> 00:27:15.000 until 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.659 kind of uh Wander through the thickets 00:27:18.659 --> 00:27:20.580 not knowing where you're going 00:27:20.580 --> 00:27:23.159 um is also a big part of establishing 00:27:23.159 --> 00:27:25.980 establishing this stuff so 00:27:25.980 --> 00:27:29.520 um with that caveat in mind 00:27:29.520 --> 00:27:30.240 um 00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.120 um are there any questions about so far 00:27:33.120 --> 00:27:35.520 of where we're done 00:27:35.520 --> 00:27:37.500 um 00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:41.400 okay Collective Insight practice is not 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:43.919 dialogic 00:27:43.919 --> 00:27:47.360 it's not a conversation 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:51.419 now you may slip into conversational 00:27:51.419 --> 00:27:56.159 portions as we do but it's not a 00:27:56.159 --> 00:27:58.559 dialogue 00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:01.400 uh 00:28:01.500 --> 00:28:05.100 in this phase of where we're at where 00:28:05.100 --> 00:28:06.779 the words you're going to say don't 00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:08.700 matter 00:28:08.700 --> 00:28:11.100 huh 00:28:11.100 --> 00:28:15.120 um and so uh we're going to unmute and 00:28:15.120 --> 00:28:18.000 we're just going to talk when we have 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:21.120 something to say and if if two people 00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:23.340 are talking at the same time it's okay 00:28:23.340 --> 00:28:25.860 you just listen to the energy because 00:28:25.860 --> 00:28:29.580 the words do not matter 00:28:29.580 --> 00:28:32.700 it's not dialogical practice 00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:35.100 at this space 00:28:35.100 --> 00:28:37.700 okay 00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.100 um it's it's a little harder for two 00:28:44.100 --> 00:28:46.640 people talking at once on Zoom because 00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:51.840 the the cough the cacophony uh 00:28:51.840 --> 00:28:55.380 is weird in in a big room it's it's like 00:28:55.380 --> 00:28:56.880 when you're at a party and there's a lot 00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:59.940 of talking so uh with zoom it's a little 00:28:59.940 --> 00:29:01.919 harder because we actually for the 00:29:01.919 --> 00:29:05.279 technology forces us to take turns more 00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:08.100 um so we're gonna have to 00:29:08.100 --> 00:29:10.500 um uh avoid we'll have to work through 00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:13.260 that okay so I've I'm just gonna say 00:29:13.260 --> 00:29:15.059 we're going into a collective Insight 00:29:15.059 --> 00:29:17.640 practice uh around the question of 00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:20.100 origins of this 00:29:20.100 --> 00:29:22.620 um and uh just doing the instructions 00:29:22.620 --> 00:29:25.860 number one is don't try this at home I 00:29:25.860 --> 00:29:28.559 would never uh start a collective 00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:31.260 Insight practice with uh naive people 00:29:31.260 --> 00:29:33.000 the way we are we're just gonna dump 00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.580 dump into it Collective Insight practice 00:29:35.580 --> 00:29:37.740 we don't have to do presencing because 00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:39.659 we've been presencing uh with each other 00:29:39.659 --> 00:29:41.940 for nine months 00:29:41.940 --> 00:29:42.600 um 00:29:42.600 --> 00:29:45.539 and this phase of our process the words 00:29:45.539 --> 00:29:47.880 don't matter 00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:50.820 it's not a dialogical process the words 00:29:50.820 --> 00:29:52.380 don't matter 00:29:52.380 --> 00:29:53.820 um and so we're gonna when we start 00:29:53.820 --> 00:29:55.860 we're gonna unmute and if you're talking 00:29:55.860 --> 00:29:57.840 if more than one person's talking at the 00:29:57.840 --> 00:29:59.039 same time 00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:01.500 um you just that's you just honor honor 00:30:01.500 --> 00:30:04.740 that energy okay uh the words the words 00:30:04.740 --> 00:30:07.440 don't matter at this phase some might 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:09.240 all of a sudden 00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:11.820 there might be a big thing 00:30:11.820 --> 00:30:14.580 a big thing and everyone will recognize 00:30:14.580 --> 00:30:17.880 it at the same time but if you're 00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:20.039 looking for big big things at this 00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:22.919 period in the process uh that probably 00:30:22.919 --> 00:30:24.840 won't work 00:30:24.840 --> 00:30:27.480 um does that make sense 00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:29.700 oh yeah it's a weird thing with this 00:30:29.700 --> 00:30:31.820 thing 00:30:32.580 --> 00:30:34.740 you see kids in the playground they're 00:30:34.740 --> 00:30:36.240 making sense to each other all the time 00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:37.919 and they're hardly even using words just 00:30:37.919 --> 00:30:43.260 like blabbering whatever right so uh we 00:30:43.260 --> 00:30:45.240 want the words to come out of our mouth 00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:48.960 the way we want the dance to come out of 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:50.700 our bodies 00:30:50.700 --> 00:30:53.399 completely independent of our minds okay 00:30:53.399 --> 00:30:55.500 so you're not talking to each other now 00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:57.539 you're not talking to each other 00:30:57.539 --> 00:31:01.320 you're talking to the universe 00:31:01.320 --> 00:31:03.120 if you like this word you know talking 00:31:03.120 --> 00:31:06.080 to the logos 00:31:07.260 --> 00:31:09.840 if we already had the Insight then we 00:31:09.840 --> 00:31:12.000 could talk to someone and say tell me 00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:13.919 you know like 00:31:13.919 --> 00:31:16.620 um so this is why it's not dialogical 00:31:16.620 --> 00:31:19.080 you're not talking to each other 00:31:19.080 --> 00:31:22.020 you're talking to the universe you might 00:31:22.020 --> 00:31:24.779 say something like what is your original 00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:28.520 face like what is your original face 00:31:28.520 --> 00:31:30.899 like like 00:31:30.899 --> 00:31:32.399 like 00:31:32.399 --> 00:31:33.840 you know 00:31:33.840 --> 00:31:37.080 I have that brings up some 00:31:37.080 --> 00:31:40.440 powerful energy in me 00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:43.679 right so you want it to be around this 00:31:43.679 --> 00:31:49.039 question that would be one way I would 00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:52.140 talk to the universe 00:31:52.140 --> 00:31:55.500 um other it some people you'll I'm not 00:31:55.500 --> 00:31:58.380 sure here but we'll talk to God it 00:31:58.380 --> 00:32:00.299 doesn't matter you're not talking to 00:32:00.299 --> 00:32:02.659 each other 00:32:06.360 --> 00:32:09.799 so however that 00:32:10.380 --> 00:32:12.659 frames it and it can turn around the 00:32:12.659 --> 00:32:14.880 different questions might capture your 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.100 imagination 00:32:17.100 --> 00:32:19.220 um 00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:22.860 does that make sense 00:32:22.860 --> 00:32:25.279 okay 00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:30.980 or I also wrote I was supposed walking 00:32:32.100 --> 00:32:34.620 and else I also wrote 00:32:34.620 --> 00:32:37.679 who is my original mother you know we 00:32:37.679 --> 00:32:40.020 had this cat who died this month that's 00:32:40.020 --> 00:32:42.440 it actually a couple of days ago and 00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.179 watching the process is very interesting 00:32:45.179 --> 00:32:48.179 and it takes you to these questions it 00:32:48.179 --> 00:32:51.360 takes you to these kinds of questions 00:32:51.360 --> 00:32:53.480 um 00:32:54.840 --> 00:32:56.700 okay 00:32:56.700 --> 00:33:00.480 now in this process your body uh may be 00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:03.360 doing all kinds of things 00:33:03.360 --> 00:33:06.360 um the energy is likely to move 00:33:06.360 --> 00:33:10.320 uh in habitual patterns I don't think 00:33:10.320 --> 00:33:11.820 this is a big deal for this group you 00:33:11.820 --> 00:33:12.960 guys have been doing a lot of group 00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:16.260 process but you would tell people that 00:33:16.260 --> 00:33:19.500 who just to make the distinction 00:33:19.500 --> 00:33:24.120 um that as you're pumping this question 00:33:24.120 --> 00:33:26.159 um in this way 00:33:26.159 --> 00:33:28.860 you're really asking your body to answer 00:33:28.860 --> 00:33:31.679 the question and so all kinds of 00:33:31.679 --> 00:33:34.080 energies might happen 00:33:34.080 --> 00:33:37.260 and at first 00:33:37.260 --> 00:33:39.480 the likelihood is that those energies 00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:43.620 will take kind of Habitual patterns 00:33:43.620 --> 00:33:45.539 and that's okay 00:33:45.539 --> 00:33:49.019 um but your body is going to search for 00:33:49.019 --> 00:33:50.539 the 00:33:50.539 --> 00:33:52.620 dispositional state 00:33:52.620 --> 00:33:55.760 that can 00:33:57.840 --> 00:33:59.940 create a different kind of awareness 00:33:59.940 --> 00:34:02.760 around the question 00:34:02.760 --> 00:34:05.399 so we're not interested in reporting 00:34:05.399 --> 00:34:06.779 like 00:34:06.779 --> 00:34:09.659 what your body is feeling like and 00:34:09.659 --> 00:34:12.839 whether you're angry or frustrated uh 00:34:12.839 --> 00:34:14.879 you're just gonna notice that and say 00:34:14.879 --> 00:34:17.099 yeah yeah just like when you're doing 00:34:17.099 --> 00:34:19.320 yoga and your body's like oh please 00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:21.119 please and you're like you need on your 00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.859 and your calf muscle is is is is is 00:34:24.859 --> 00:34:27.000 complaining and it's saying please 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.000 please and you're like yeah I know I 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:31.800 know but we have to get to the other 00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:34.320 side you gotta we gotta release you can 00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:36.300 do it you can do it okay so we're not 00:34:36.300 --> 00:34:37.980 interested in 00:34:37.980 --> 00:34:40.040 spending much time trying to understand 00:34:40.040 --> 00:34:43.440 the body knows how to do it some people 00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:47.040 uh we don't care what course it takes 00:34:47.040 --> 00:34:50.520 and we might be surprised that you're 00:34:50.520 --> 00:34:52.679 not sure that they'll do that here but 00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.139 some people are start if I ask what is 00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:57.839 my mother's original face then my body 00:34:57.839 --> 00:35:00.300 might say mother and then I have this 00:35:00.300 --> 00:35:04.200 thing crying about my mother but it's 00:35:04.200 --> 00:35:07.099 not really about that 00:35:07.099 --> 00:35:10.020 your body at first just like doing yoga 00:35:10.020 --> 00:35:12.000 it's it's going to take habitual 00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:15.300 habituated patterns 00:35:15.300 --> 00:35:19.079 and the body is uh he's got that it is 00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:20.880 only the body is capable of the answer 00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:22.680 and then the body will serve it up to 00:35:22.680 --> 00:35:25.079 our minds where we could make a story 00:35:25.079 --> 00:35:29.339 about it for health okay so does that 00:35:29.339 --> 00:35:31.800 make sense that that I mean that it's 00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:34.859 not something else it's this this this 00:35:34.859 --> 00:35:37.200 this weird thing plus it's consistent 00:35:37.200 --> 00:35:38.400 with 00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:40.859 um the question which is Bodies In Space 00:35:40.859 --> 00:35:43.619 you know I mean it's an instance of us 00:35:43.619 --> 00:35:46.800 of cell itself 00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:50.040 um okay now I'm going to give you an 00:35:50.040 --> 00:35:53.280 example of why the Insight process has 00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:55.380 already started 00:35:55.380 --> 00:35:58.079 so I wrote that course content you may 00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:01.040 or may not have read it 00:36:01.619 --> 00:36:04.800 I actually cut most of it out 00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:08.280 but I did have this little 00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:09.540 um 00:36:09.540 --> 00:36:12.599 I did have this little uh 00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:16.800 visual of the cognitive bow tie did 00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:19.500 everybody see that I can put this up 00:36:19.500 --> 00:36:22.760 on my screen 00:36:23.700 --> 00:36:25.920 uh share screen 00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:27.960 I guess just going to give you an idea 00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:30.359 of how Collective an Insight practice 00:36:30.359 --> 00:36:35.520 happens share a screen oh uh basic 00:36:35.520 --> 00:36:37.800 so you may or may not have 00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:39.780 um this 00:36:39.780 --> 00:36:41.579 course content 00:36:41.579 --> 00:36:44.280 uh 00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:46.500 but what I want to point you to is this 00:36:46.500 --> 00:36:49.320 drawing I mean I made lots of drawings 00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:51.060 and you if you saw the video you could 00:36:51.060 --> 00:36:54.079 tell I just couldn't I couldn't the the 00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:56.640 dimensionality of the question is 00:36:56.640 --> 00:36:59.820 extremely hard to work with uh so I just 00:36:59.820 --> 00:37:03.060 give you some example of what happens in 00:37:03.060 --> 00:37:07.020 my body mind when I go there but 00:37:07.020 --> 00:37:10.619 I had put this cognitive bow tie right 00:37:10.619 --> 00:37:12.780 it's like a cognitive light cone in two 00:37:12.780 --> 00:37:14.160 directions 00:37:14.160 --> 00:37:18.300 and Rita Leduc almost 00:37:18.300 --> 00:37:21.060 had a heart attack 00:37:21.060 --> 00:37:23.520 because 00:37:23.520 --> 00:37:26.579 this is her cognitive light cone that 00:37:26.579 --> 00:37:28.980 she experienced 00:37:28.980 --> 00:37:31.380 during one of our nature abstraction 00:37:31.380 --> 00:37:35.040 drawing experiences 00:37:35.339 --> 00:37:38.040 there was like this huge like connection 00:37:38.040 --> 00:37:39.839 and she reached out to me we talked 00:37:39.839 --> 00:37:43.619 about it and this is 00:37:43.619 --> 00:37:46.320 with Collective Insight practice is all 00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:49.619 about to kind of get it like we talked 00:37:49.619 --> 00:37:52.440 about that actually the cognitive light 00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:55.260 cone is they are not there at the same 00:37:55.260 --> 00:37:58.020 time and she's tapping into some kind of 00:37:58.020 --> 00:38:00.900 pure abstraction that seems to have 00:38:00.900 --> 00:38:04.859 something to do with the question I 00:38:04.859 --> 00:38:07.460 don't know 00:38:09.420 --> 00:38:13.320 but that's her that's her medium right 00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:15.720 that's her medium so it's not like and 00:38:15.720 --> 00:38:18.780 mine is always models 00:38:18.780 --> 00:38:20.820 um and so 00:38:20.820 --> 00:38:22.880 um 00:38:26.700 --> 00:38:29.700 that this at this phase in the process 00:38:29.700 --> 00:38:34.740 this is the kind of uh kind of results 00:38:34.740 --> 00:38:39.859 that we can we can expect or experience 00:38:46.680 --> 00:38:49.260 so I'm going to mute and everybody else 00:38:49.260 --> 00:38:52.820 is going to unmute 00:38:56.460 --> 00:39:00.720 and what you're going to do is if there 00:39:00.720 --> 00:39:04.579 are words happening in your head 00:39:04.619 --> 00:39:07.619 you're just gonna say them 00:39:07.619 --> 00:39:10.260 the words might be I don't know what to 00:39:10.260 --> 00:39:14.359 say I mean not my question is 00:39:15.839 --> 00:39:20.820 because you don't want to 00:39:22.560 --> 00:39:24.660 strategize what you're thinking by 00:39:24.660 --> 00:39:26.520 keeping it in your head eventually the 00:39:26.520 --> 00:39:29.300 words will go away 00:39:31.500 --> 00:39:35.160 but if you're maintaining like 00:39:35.160 --> 00:39:37.500 an internal dialogue all your energy 00:39:37.500 --> 00:39:39.119 will stay 00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:41.099 in your in your head 00:39:41.099 --> 00:39:43.500 so this is why we have to talk at the 00:39:43.500 --> 00:39:44.940 same time 00:39:44.940 --> 00:39:46.079 so 00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:50.160 to start you're going to 00:39:50.160 --> 00:39:53.720 just sit without 00:39:53.820 --> 00:39:56.520 words in your head and just just maybe 00:39:56.520 --> 00:39:59.940 just this one word origin origin maybe 00:39:59.940 --> 00:40:02.960 just that one word 00:40:08.240 --> 00:40:12.000 and then for this phase you're going to 00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:15.119 be very Vigilant if a sentence starts in 00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:17.700 your head you're going to say it 00:40:17.700 --> 00:40:21.440 doesn't matter what it is 00:40:21.900 --> 00:40:25.560 um and but as you're saying it you you 00:40:25.560 --> 00:40:28.800 want to say it as soon as the words is 00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:31.560 starting you want to say it so be very 00:40:31.560 --> 00:40:33.420 vigilant 00:40:33.420 --> 00:40:34.560 here 00:40:34.560 --> 00:40:36.599 so 00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:42.320 I can do it right now okay so so 00:40:42.900 --> 00:40:45.780 uh so 00:40:45.780 --> 00:40:48.300 I didn't let it get very far because I 00:40:48.300 --> 00:40:49.700 was 00:40:49.700 --> 00:40:52.940 in the same time 00:40:52.940 --> 00:40:57.200 pacing of the words themselves 00:40:58.619 --> 00:41:00.660 this very important part of this project 00:41:00.660 --> 00:41:03.380 practice 00:41:05.220 --> 00:41:09.300 and it's not good enough just to 00:41:09.300 --> 00:41:11.820 pretend saying it in your head okay so 00:41:11.820 --> 00:41:13.260 this is how we're going to start this is 00:41:13.260 --> 00:41:16.260 why we have to talk over each other 00:41:16.260 --> 00:41:18.359 um you're going to 00:41:18.359 --> 00:41:21.780 think about this question from you know 00:41:21.780 --> 00:41:24.540 this deeper felt sense and you're going 00:41:24.540 --> 00:41:26.940 to be vigilant at the same time and if a 00:41:26.940 --> 00:41:29.040 word comes you're going to just speak it 00:41:29.040 --> 00:41:31.140 if five words come in a sequence you're 00:41:31.140 --> 00:41:33.240 going to speak it 00:41:33.240 --> 00:41:36.180 um and and that's it because the words 00:41:36.180 --> 00:41:39.240 don't matter they might even be cool 00:41:39.240 --> 00:41:42.660 words that come in your head mine um but 00:41:42.660 --> 00:41:46.020 don't let them get ahead of you as if 00:41:46.020 --> 00:41:47.520 you're just 00:41:47.520 --> 00:41:49.680 looking at a screen and you have to say 00:41:49.680 --> 00:41:52.560 the words as they come okay 00:41:52.560 --> 00:41:55.079 so we're going to do this for a half an 00:41:55.079 --> 00:41:55.859 hour 00:41:55.859 --> 00:41:57.720 uh we're all we're going to stay in this 00:41:57.720 --> 00:41:59.160 room 00:41:59.160 --> 00:42:02.640 um and then we'll do some breakouts and 00:42:02.640 --> 00:42:05.220 um check-in about this exercise I'm 00:42:05.220 --> 00:42:06.960 going to 00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:07.560 um 00:42:07.560 --> 00:42:11.400 be silent does everybody

what you guys talked about uh yeah just 01:17:00.179 --> 01:17:02.940 a deep brief okay well I can just start 01:17:02.940 --> 01:17:04.260 I guess 01:17:04.260 --> 01:17:05.219 um 01:17:05.219 --> 01:17:07.260 I didn't have so much of a question but 01:17:07.260 --> 01:17:10.140 at some point the the words just started 01:17:10.140 --> 01:17:11.640 to become like 01:17:11.640 --> 01:17:13.980 um I just the image of uh you know 01:17:13.980 --> 01:17:16.860 particle physics like and words seem to 01:17:16.860 --> 01:17:19.260 be scattering amplitudes like it became 01:17:19.260 --> 01:17:20.820 like the coherence 01:17:20.820 --> 01:17:23.040 like that process I just almost like saw 01:17:23.040 --> 01:17:25.800 words just fly through you know kind of 01:17:25.800 --> 01:17:27.420 becoming 01:17:27.420 --> 01:17:29.820 um where they first were nothing 01:17:29.820 --> 01:17:30.659 um 01:17:30.659 --> 01:17:32.880 and so yeah it 01:17:32.880 --> 01:17:35.219 um well I have a personal View and like 01:17:35.219 --> 01:17:37.500 also like the collective view like I 01:17:37.500 --> 01:17:39.420 what came up with the question of uh how 01:17:39.420 --> 01:17:41.520 did we navigate the space together here 01:17:41.520 --> 01:17:44.100 because it was almost like as if ah we 01:17:44.100 --> 01:17:45.659 all have this kind of like of course 01:17:45.659 --> 01:17:47.100 it's the same language but we're all 01:17:47.100 --> 01:17:49.140 coming from a place that's almost like 01:17:49.140 --> 01:17:51.659 we were kind of you know like as if the 01:17:51.659 --> 01:17:54.060 entanglements were looking for for like 01:17:54.060 --> 01:17:55.380 the words were looking for each other 01:17:55.380 --> 01:17:57.000 you know to kind of like start 01:17:57.000 --> 01:17:59.460 constructing meanings and so it almost 01:17:59.460 --> 01:18:02.040 felt like a collective navigation of 01:18:02.040 --> 01:18:04.320 transcriptional space in some ways you 01:18:04.320 --> 01:18:05.040 know 01:18:05.040 --> 01:18:08.100 um and I also had strong synesthesia is 01:18:08.100 --> 01:18:09.900 actually with words some words I can't 01:18:09.900 --> 01:18:12.120 even remember now but you know I can 01:18:12.120 --> 01:18:13.860 remember the shape the color the 01:18:13.860 --> 01:18:17.280 sometimes the gravity even like the um 01:18:17.280 --> 01:18:19.800 yeah the weight of a word and I did 01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:21.300 notice that sometimes I would speak and 01:18:21.300 --> 01:18:22.920 I don't know what I'd love to hear this 01:18:22.920 --> 01:18:24.420 experience like something I would speak 01:18:24.420 --> 01:18:26.520 speak it and there was like a bit of a 01:18:26.520 --> 01:18:28.920 silence or something as if some words 01:18:28.920 --> 01:18:31.080 appear to have more weight or something 01:18:31.080 --> 01:18:32.760 like that I don't know 01:18:32.760 --> 01:18:34.050 so 01:18:34.050 --> 01:18:35.880 [Music] 01:18:35.880 --> 01:18:39.239 so that was that's me uh yeah 01:18:39.239 --> 01:18:42.080 complete 01:18:44.520 --> 01:18:46.440 you can speak to having been a little 01:18:46.440 --> 01:18:47.940 quiet by just sharing something that I 01:18:47.940 --> 01:18:50.159 shared with the breakout group 01:18:50.159 --> 01:18:51.060 um 01:18:51.060 --> 01:18:54.060 at first I was just listening 01:18:54.060 --> 01:18:55.920 um and mostly listening to the words 01:18:55.920 --> 01:18:57.659 that were just the loudest so whoever 01:18:57.659 --> 01:18:59.940 came through the loudest 01:18:59.940 --> 01:19:01.980 um 01:19:01.980 --> 01:19:04.080 and eventually I got this kind of like 01:19:04.080 --> 01:19:06.600 fun playful Vibe I noticed myself tuning 01:19:06.600 --> 01:19:09.480 into the things that were silly 01:19:09.480 --> 01:19:12.239 um but with like a childish fondness to 01:19:12.239 --> 01:19:15.540 it not like an absurdity-ness to it 01:19:15.540 --> 01:19:16.260 um 01:19:16.260 --> 01:19:17.940 and I found myself becoming like very 01:19:17.940 --> 01:19:19.020 joyous 01:19:19.020 --> 01:19:21.420 and the only thing I would feel called 01:19:21.420 --> 01:19:23.159 to say would be something coming from 01:19:23.159 --> 01:19:24.900 that space so I feel like I kind of like 01:19:24.900 --> 01:19:26.400 became a fixed point for that kind of 01:19:26.400 --> 01:19:28.580 energy 01:19:28.679 --> 01:19:30.179 um 01:19:30.179 --> 01:19:32.640 so I would mostly feel called to say 01:19:32.640 --> 01:19:34.380 something when something else had that 01:19:34.380 --> 01:19:36.000 energy I would feel like I was amping it 01:19:36.000 --> 01:19:37.380 up 01:19:37.380 --> 01:19:38.280 um 01:19:38.280 --> 01:19:39.360 but this was just like a thing that 01:19:39.360 --> 01:19:40.679 happened I didn't really have a prior 01:19:40.679 --> 01:19:42.719 that this I wanted to be this way or 01:19:42.719 --> 01:19:44.760 something like that or which energy it 01:19:44.760 --> 01:19:47.520 would be of any of them 01:19:47.520 --> 01:19:48.659 um 01:19:48.659 --> 01:19:52.400 yeah that's another one for me 01:19:54.179 --> 01:19:56.760 um in the beginning I had a lot of 01:19:56.760 --> 01:19:58.679 I was quiet because I was I was kind of 01:19:58.679 --> 01:20:00.179 battling with myself 01:20:00.179 --> 01:20:01.620 um the words that were coming into my 01:20:01.620 --> 01:20:03.000 mind were 01:20:03.000 --> 01:20:05.159 were kind of like self-critical or other 01:20:05.159 --> 01:20:06.780 critical I guess I was just like not 01:20:06.780 --> 01:20:08.280 buying that these were like the 01:20:08.280 --> 01:20:11.040 authentic words or something like that 01:20:11.040 --> 01:20:12.960 um even if like they were the words that 01:20:12.960 --> 01:20:14.100 were going to come out of me or someone 01:20:14.100 --> 01:20:16.260 I would like I would tune in and hear 01:20:16.260 --> 01:20:17.520 words coming from other people and I'm 01:20:17.520 --> 01:20:19.440 like is this really like exactly what's 01:20:19.440 --> 01:20:20.940 popping into your head at this moment I 01:20:20.940 --> 01:20:22.320 didn't want to bring that energy into 01:20:22.320 --> 01:20:24.840 the space so I but then I was like but 01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:25.860 these are the words that are popping 01:20:25.860 --> 01:20:27.840 into my head so I just battled with that 01:20:27.840 --> 01:20:28.920 for a while 01:20:28.920 --> 01:20:32.699 um and then I let all of that go 01:20:32.699 --> 01:20:33.780 um 01:20:33.780 --> 01:20:36.600 and my experience became much more yeah 01:20:36.600 --> 01:20:38.820 it became much more visual 01:20:38.820 --> 01:20:39.900 um there's like a thread in my 01:20:39.900 --> 01:20:43.020 meditation of like when I'm in tune with 01:20:43.020 --> 01:20:45.540 the logos kind of like a purple that 01:20:45.540 --> 01:20:47.280 takes more in space and expands and 01:20:47.280 --> 01:20:48.900 contracts and something really cool that 01:20:48.900 --> 01:20:51.239 happened was like the purple was joined 01:20:51.239 --> 01:20:53.280 by like a really bright fiery orange 01:20:53.280 --> 01:20:55.140 that was very like particular and they 01:20:55.140 --> 01:20:57.659 started like dancing together 01:20:57.659 --> 01:21:00.540 um and as that was happening the like 01:21:00.540 --> 01:21:02.760 all the criticism of words just kind of 01:21:02.760 --> 01:21:04.679 fell away and I found myself speaking a 01:21:04.679 --> 01:21:06.719 lot more and also um 01:21:06.719 --> 01:21:09.540 like reacting and like with music to 01:21:09.540 --> 01:21:11.520 words that people were saying a lot even 01:21:11.520 --> 01:21:14.400 more than just other words 01:21:14.400 --> 01:21:16.679 um yeah yeah I feel like it heated up at 01:21:16.679 --> 01:21:18.360 the end but I also had I had some 01:21:18.360 --> 01:21:20.219 self-consciousness throughout um like 01:21:20.219 --> 01:21:21.900 Joel said that 01:21:21.900 --> 01:21:23.219 I think I 01:21:23.219 --> 01:21:25.679 yeah I found myself I was really quiet I 01:21:25.679 --> 01:21:27.480 was kind of like retreated back here I 01:21:27.480 --> 01:21:28.920 was maybe saying words but very very 01:21:28.920 --> 01:21:30.480 quietly maybe that wouldn't even be 01:21:30.480 --> 01:21:33.480 picked up on Zoom yeah yeah I can't 01:21:33.480 --> 01:21:35.040 confirm okay he was saying a decent 01:21:35.040 --> 01:21:36.480 amount that I think was just like below 01:21:36.480 --> 01:21:40.280 threshold for the mic yeah 01:21:45.199 --> 01:21:51.140 so as one of the identified Quiet Ones 01:21:51.659 --> 01:21:54.480 at at some point and not not very long 01:21:54.480 --> 01:21:56.340 into a few minutes into it like the 01:21:56.340 --> 01:21:58.260 words just quit making sense 01:21:58.260 --> 01:21:59.760 and 01:21:59.760 --> 01:22:02.400 and I just went into sound and the sound 01:22:02.400 --> 01:22:05.640 and I just made sound and it was sort of 01:22:05.640 --> 01:22:08.760 in the phenomenology of and then and 01:22:08.760 --> 01:22:10.140 then I noticed there was like a 01:22:10.140 --> 01:22:13.260 pulsation energy like I would go into 01:22:13.260 --> 01:22:16.920 making sense and then into no sense and 01:22:16.920 --> 01:22:19.159 and a lot of the energy felt like 01:22:19.159 --> 01:22:22.679 Contracting and then moving out moving 01:22:22.679 --> 01:22:25.080 in and and out like 01:22:25.080 --> 01:22:28.199 over the longer period of time it's also 01:22:28.199 --> 01:22:31.020 very visual too 01:22:31.020 --> 01:22:31.860 um 01:22:31.860 --> 01:22:34.679 but mostly As like the words just fell 01:22:34.679 --> 01:22:36.360 up kind of 01:22:36.360 --> 01:22:40.500 lost their coherence for me and 01:22:40.500 --> 01:22:43.820 as far as sense making 01:22:47.219 --> 01:22:50.460 yeah I also had yeah there was just a 01:22:50.460 --> 01:22:52.739 lot of it was just sound coming through 01:22:52.739 --> 01:22:55.080 but also it was very much connected with 01:22:55.080 --> 01:22:57.719 so emotion and I also had like book love 01:22:57.719 --> 01:23:00.719 send us easier 01:23:00.719 --> 01:23:02.520 um yeah it was just sometimes it was 01:23:02.520 --> 01:23:04.380 they were just like shapes you know and 01:23:04.380 --> 01:23:06.179 like kind of when I was just kind of 01:23:06.179 --> 01:23:08.820 annotating or like outlining the shapes 01:23:08.820 --> 01:23:11.040 with sound and like kind of my body 01:23:11.040 --> 01:23:12.900 moving with that as well 01:23:12.900 --> 01:23:15.659 it was like like I kept on one that kind 01:23:15.659 --> 01:23:17.100 of kept coming around for me was like 01:23:17.100 --> 01:23:19.020 kind of fold so it was like I was trying 01:23:19.020 --> 01:23:21.420 to get there like it's like the edges of 01:23:21.420 --> 01:23:23.520 these folds but folds in something 01:23:23.520 --> 01:23:27.300 persistent like and yeah it's just kind 01:23:27.300 --> 01:23:29.400 of the 01:23:29.400 --> 01:23:32.400 just 01:23:33.659 --> 01:23:36.420 yeah noting these these shapes and 01:23:36.420 --> 01:23:40.340 pulses and rhythms like 01:23:56.460 --> 01:23:58.560 okay I'll speak up 01:23:58.560 --> 01:24:00.739 um 01:24:08.280 --> 01:24:09.960 I thought it was 01:24:09.960 --> 01:24:12.020 um 01:24:14.760 --> 01:24:19.920 really interesting to watch my 01:24:19.920 --> 01:24:23.100 way my pattern through the half hour 01:24:23.100 --> 01:24:25.820 experience 01:24:26.400 --> 01:24:28.940 and I saw 01:24:28.940 --> 01:24:32.300 emotional effect 01:24:34.440 --> 01:24:37.219 for me 01:24:37.219 --> 01:24:41.280 I had a rebellious energy 01:24:41.280 --> 01:24:45.120 and the rebellion was 01:24:45.120 --> 01:24:49.400 yeah the F and words do matter 01:24:49.500 --> 01:24:54.560 and I had to come back to 01:24:55.140 --> 01:24:58.620 focus on a search and focus on feeling 01:24:58.620 --> 01:25:01.140 the energy 01:25:01.140 --> 01:25:02.820 and I thought it was interesting in the 01:25:02.820 --> 01:25:04.260 Breakout 01:25:04.260 --> 01:25:08.460 that emotion was noted frustration in 01:25:08.460 --> 01:25:11.960 the experience as well 01:25:18.120 --> 01:25:20.580 then in the breakout Matt asked the 01:25:20.580 --> 01:25:22.260 question have we ever done this before 01:25:22.260 --> 01:25:23.880 have any of us 01:25:23.880 --> 01:25:27.780 and it really opened me up to this place 01:25:27.780 --> 01:25:30.900 I've done it one-on-one in the pop-up 01:25:30.900 --> 01:25:32.219 School 01:25:32.219 --> 01:25:33.900 but never 01:25:33.900 --> 01:25:36.600 part of 20 or whatever it is I don't 01:25:36.600 --> 01:25:39.179 know how many people here 01:25:39.179 --> 01:25:43.140 and I found that energy to be a wild 01:25:43.140 --> 01:25:45.179 energy 01:25:45.179 --> 01:25:47.640 and reaching 01:25:47.640 --> 01:25:51.239 into that energy was very exciting for 01:25:51.239 --> 01:25:53.420 me 01:25:54.000 --> 01:25:59.219 and in it involved a mutuality also with 01:25:59.219 --> 01:26:01.500 the one sound I heard and what jolt was 01:26:01.500 --> 01:26:04.500 talking about that amplification what 01:26:04.500 --> 01:26:06.480 did I amplify 01:26:06.480 --> 01:26:10.699 and where was that in my pattern 01:26:12.960 --> 01:26:16.739 and then Sandra 01:26:17.820 --> 01:26:21.020 when I was sharing in the Breakout 01:26:21.020 --> 01:26:24.540 reminded me of when we were in your 01:26:24.540 --> 01:26:26.580 Corral Bonnie 01:26:26.580 --> 01:26:31.020 doing the Touch dance exercise that 01:26:31.020 --> 01:26:32.460 Aaron 01:26:32.460 --> 01:26:34.260 gave us 01:26:34.260 --> 01:26:36.659 and she said something 01:26:36.659 --> 01:26:38.940 in the Breakout 01:26:38.940 --> 01:26:42.060 that I took a contra position to in the 01:26:42.060 --> 01:26:44.280 Breakout 01:26:44.280 --> 01:26:47.100 and so in the breakout we did this kind 01:26:47.100 --> 01:26:49.320 of mutual 01:26:49.320 --> 01:26:52.699 dance with the energy 01:26:54.840 --> 01:27:00.679 she said looking for was constraining 01:27:01.320 --> 01:27:06.020 and looking at was expansive 01:27:06.300 --> 01:27:08.580 and I feel 01:27:08.580 --> 01:27:10.860 looking for 01:27:10.860 --> 01:27:12.900 is expansive 01:27:12.900 --> 01:27:16.199 and looking at is constraining 01:27:16.199 --> 01:27:19.920 so in our breakout we danced with that 01:27:19.920 --> 01:27:22.020 energy 01:27:22.020 --> 01:27:25.400 and I touched her first 01:27:25.739 --> 01:27:28.400 not really 01:27:33.239 --> 01:27:37.040 I got your shoulder first 01:27:41.280 --> 01:27:45.239 I I you know I noticed 01:27:45.239 --> 01:27:46.679 the 01:27:46.679 --> 01:27:50.840 the shifting between 01:27:51.420 --> 01:27:53.699 okay we're going to find the origin 01:27:53.699 --> 01:27:57.480 we're looking for the origin we're like 01:27:57.480 --> 01:28:00.179 you know where where is it and how is it 01:28:00.179 --> 01:28:03.840 going to show itself 01:28:03.840 --> 01:28:05.460 and 01:28:05.460 --> 01:28:06.840 um 01:28:06.840 --> 01:28:09.239 I think like Katie I think I was saying 01:28:09.239 --> 01:28:12.480 more than what was being picked up 01:28:12.480 --> 01:28:15.420 because I would you know hear something 01:28:15.420 --> 01:28:17.639 from someone and then 01:28:17.639 --> 01:28:20.219 the images would come and it would it 01:28:20.219 --> 01:28:22.460 was 01:28:22.679 --> 01:28:26.159 like a a synesthesia kind of experience 01:28:26.159 --> 01:28:28.860 somewhere between color and form and 01:28:28.860 --> 01:28:31.320 movement and 01:28:31.320 --> 01:28:33.960 a recurring 01:28:33.960 --> 01:28:38.340 sense of a Whirlpool or a vortex 01:28:38.340 --> 01:28:40.460 um 01:28:42.000 --> 01:28:45.480 and at the end of our breakout when we 01:28:45.480 --> 01:28:47.760 had kind of 01:28:47.760 --> 01:28:50.340 sensed into our experience 01:28:50.340 --> 01:28:55.260 somehow that is the origin 01:28:55.260 --> 01:29:00.239 somehow all of all of what was revealed 01:29:00.239 --> 01:29:01.800 through us 01:29:01.800 --> 01:29:03.600 feels like the origin and there aren't 01:29:03.600 --> 01:29:06.500 any words for it 01:29:08.880 --> 01:29:11.100 so that's very interesting 01:29:11.100 --> 01:29:12.719 trust to me 01:29:12.719 --> 01:29:14.840 um 01:29:17.219 --> 01:29:22.219 because one of the things that 01:29:22.500 --> 01:29:25.560 um if you if we as we practice this 01:29:25.560 --> 01:29:29.280 is what KU is describing in Avo as a 01:29:29.280 --> 01:29:32.520 dissolution and stuff is 01:29:32.520 --> 01:29:33.540 um 01:29:33.540 --> 01:29:37.219 you begin to 01:29:38.820 --> 01:29:41.760 be present when the word form is just 01:29:41.760 --> 01:29:44.940 starting before it becomes a word 01:29:44.940 --> 01:29:48.719 and if you're if you if you're dedicated 01:29:48.719 --> 01:29:51.719 to trying to say exactly as the word 01:29:51.719 --> 01:29:52.920 comes up 01:29:52.920 --> 01:29:57.960 like you start to ask because this seems 01:29:57.960 --> 01:29:59.699 like the word coming up is it starts 01:29:59.699 --> 01:30:01.500 with an S 01:30:01.500 --> 01:30:02.159 um 01:30:02.159 --> 01:30:06.300 you'll start to be able to understand 01:30:06.300 --> 01:30:09.000 uh like Katie said there's a structure 01:30:09.000 --> 01:30:10.620 that happens when the words make sense 01:30:10.620 --> 01:30:12.420 and there's a structure where they're 01:30:12.420 --> 01:30:13.440 just 01:30:13.440 --> 01:30:16.199 there's nothing to them 01:30:16.199 --> 01:30:20.040 but anyways what I'm what 01:30:20.040 --> 01:30:23.520 you just said is an interesting question 01:30:23.520 --> 01:30:27.000 because if you understand 01:30:27.000 --> 01:30:30.920 the origins of the word 01:30:33.679 --> 01:30:36.000 does that have something to tell us 01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:38.580 about the origins of everything it's an 01:30:38.580 --> 01:30:42.179 interesting question and I know evil is 01:30:42.179 --> 01:30:43.860 going like this because this is the 01:30:43.860 --> 01:30:47.219 contemplation of the logos itself so 01:30:47.219 --> 01:30:49.739 um there's a instance of itself so what 01:30:49.739 --> 01:30:52.679 you were reporting as in practice is 01:30:52.679 --> 01:30:55.440 interesting phenomenon to think of in 01:30:55.440 --> 01:30:58.020 terms of the question 01:30:58.020 --> 01:31:00.380 um yeah 01:31:11.520 --> 01:31:16.219 yes I'll take on um 01:31:17.840 --> 01:31:19.800 sometimes I feel like I had a board 01:31:19.800 --> 01:31:22.080 maybe unpleasant experience with other 01:31:22.080 --> 01:31:24.179 people and 01:31:24.179 --> 01:31:26.100 um I don't want to be a 01:31:26.100 --> 01:31:29.420 Downer or whatever but 01:31:29.580 --> 01:31:31.080 uh 01:31:31.080 --> 01:31:34.139 I guess at the start I was you know when 01:31:34.139 --> 01:31:36.300 other people would say a word it would 01:31:36.300 --> 01:31:37.800 just pop into my head so then I would 01:31:37.800 --> 01:31:40.260 just repeat that often 01:31:40.260 --> 01:31:41.520 um 01:31:41.520 --> 01:31:43.380 I got to a place where like there was 01:31:43.380 --> 01:31:46.440 images and I didn't know if I should say 01:31:46.440 --> 01:31:49.100 what those were 01:31:49.260 --> 01:31:50.460 um 01:31:50.460 --> 01:31:53.520 and then there was also moments where I 01:31:53.520 --> 01:31:55.620 brought this up in the breakout where 01:31:55.620 --> 01:31:58.860 I like felt like I could 01:31:58.860 --> 01:32:00.540 like I felt like I could say something 01:32:00.540 --> 01:32:03.659 that made sense but then I didn't just 01:32:03.659 --> 01:32:05.639 to follow the 01:32:05.639 --> 01:32:08.840 whatever the instruction 01:32:09.120 --> 01:32:10.800 and then I think I'd 01:32:10.800 --> 01:32:12.420 just kind of 01:32:12.420 --> 01:32:14.340 got to a point where I was like kind of 01:32:14.340 --> 01:32:15.480 exhausted 01:32:15.480 --> 01:32:19.440 like exhausted was the big thing for me 01:32:19.440 --> 01:32:21.540 I was just getting tiring 01:32:21.540 --> 01:32:23.639 um and I was like oh maybe that's maybe 01:32:23.639 --> 01:32:25.500 that's why she wants us to do this I 01:32:25.500 --> 01:32:27.179 don't know 01:32:27.179 --> 01:32:28.139 um 01:32:28.139 --> 01:32:30.600 and 01:32:30.600 --> 01:32:33.179 and then it got me I guess and I think I 01:32:33.179 --> 01:32:34.620 I do this when I don't understand 01:32:34.620 --> 01:32:36.360 something I feel 01:32:36.360 --> 01:32:38.460 bad about myself or something like like 01:32:38.460 --> 01:32:40.320 what's the point and it's like I don't 01:32:40.320 --> 01:32:42.480 know and do other people know and I I 01:32:42.480 --> 01:32:44.520 don't know I for some reason feel 01:32:44.520 --> 01:32:47.040 frustrated and bad or I don't know I get 01:32:47.040 --> 01:32:49.219 all 01:32:49.260 --> 01:32:51.060 because I don't understand what's what's 01:32:51.060 --> 01:32:53.699 the point and 01:32:53.699 --> 01:32:55.440 I brought this up in the group I think I 01:32:55.440 --> 01:32:57.960 said something like 01:32:57.960 --> 01:32:59.280 um 01:32:59.280 --> 01:33:01.880 if we're trying to create a sword origin 01:33:01.880 --> 01:33:04.560 story or we're trying to create 01:33:04.560 --> 01:33:06.780 something here 01:33:06.780 --> 01:33:08.280 if the 01:33:08.280 --> 01:33:12.300 feelings or whatever comes up in me 01:33:12.300 --> 01:33:14.659 isn't 01:33:14.659 --> 01:33:18.719 reported how are we supposed to do that 01:33:18.719 --> 01:33:21.179 okay so this is a good clarifying 01:33:21.179 --> 01:33:23.760 question around the practice itself yeah 01:33:23.760 --> 01:33:25.860 so we're trying to do Collective Insight 01:33:25.860 --> 01:33:29.040 practice which is done your your body 01:33:29.040 --> 01:33:32.699 does the thinking not your mind 01:33:32.699 --> 01:33:35.580 um but I did say that it builds up 01:33:35.580 --> 01:33:37.560 energy and the energy is going to flow 01:33:37.560 --> 01:33:39.840 through common patterns so you're 01:33:39.840 --> 01:33:43.080 beating up on yourself frustration 01:33:43.080 --> 01:33:46.679 giggling these are common patterns 01:33:46.679 --> 01:33:49.020 um that that 01:33:49.020 --> 01:33:49.679 um 01:33:49.679 --> 01:33:53.340 that the energy is still is is doing so 01:33:53.340 --> 01:33:54.659 that's okay 01:33:54.659 --> 01:33:57.719 um what we're trying to do is 01:33:57.719 --> 01:33:59.940 um so the reason why we don't report on 01:33:59.940 --> 01:34:02.400 them and we report on them in a deeper 01:34:02.400 --> 01:34:04.320 if this is perfectly fine because now 01:34:04.320 --> 01:34:08.600 we're in conversation is because 01:34:10.159 --> 01:34:12.659 they're they're 01:34:12.659 --> 01:34:14.699 um 01:34:14.699 --> 01:34:16.139 because it's not the question we're 01:34:16.139 --> 01:34:19.920 asking first of all and also you need to 01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:24.120 understand that they they just come up 01:34:24.120 --> 01:34:27.300 for no reason the energy is start you're 01:34:27.300 --> 01:34:28.560 starting to build up energy because 01:34:28.560 --> 01:34:30.060 you're asking your body to do the 01:34:30.060 --> 01:34:31.500 thinking 01:34:31.500 --> 01:34:34.980 um you're the your our body Minds always 01:34:34.980 --> 01:34:37.080 do something which is easier for us we 01:34:37.080 --> 01:34:39.420 stop bladder and we don't even know what 01:34:39.420 --> 01:34:41.460 the we're talking about right we 01:34:41.460 --> 01:34:43.260 can talk about emergentism and this 01:34:43.260 --> 01:34:45.000 emerges from that I asked this question 01:34:45.000 --> 01:34:48.120 on Twitter if Consciousness emerges is 01:34:48.120 --> 01:34:50.580 emergent what does it emerge from and 01:34:50.580 --> 01:34:52.860 you just get blah blah nobody knows no 01:34:52.860 --> 01:34:55.620 one has a story we just so what happens 01:34:55.620 --> 01:34:57.659 is the common habit is we try to 01:34:57.659 --> 01:35:00.420 understand something deeply and they and 01:35:00.420 --> 01:35:02.940 we put the release valve blah blah blah 01:35:02.940 --> 01:35:05.040 blah blah blah blah and in that blah 01:35:05.040 --> 01:35:07.320 blah blah so we're not doing that we're 01:35:07.320 --> 01:35:09.960 not giving the body a release valve okay 01:35:09.960 --> 01:35:12.900 so but we don't have practice doing this 01:35:12.900 --> 01:35:14.699 so the body doesn't have a release valve 01:35:14.699 --> 01:35:18.960 so now it's like oh it it it's going to 01:35:18.960 --> 01:35:21.420 go through a common whatever your common 01:35:21.420 --> 01:35:24.120 pattern is when you have too much energy 01:35:24.120 --> 01:35:26.520 G locked up in you was what your body 01:35:26.520 --> 01:35:27.780 will do 01:35:27.780 --> 01:35:30.600 now if you find yourself being 01:35:30.600 --> 01:35:33.780 frustrated it is it is correct to in the 01:35:33.780 --> 01:35:36.540 in the body's like wow this is stupid it 01:35:36.540 --> 01:35:39.239 because your your body is trying to do 01:35:39.239 --> 01:35:41.639 something and it wants to release that 01:35:41.639 --> 01:35:43.920 it releases it into the sentence this is 01:35:43.920 --> 01:35:46.080 stupid you yes you should say this is 01:35:46.080 --> 01:35:48.300 stupid and some people it was great some 01:35:48.300 --> 01:35:49.800 people did 01:35:49.800 --> 01:35:52.440 say what was coming up because you need 01:35:52.440 --> 01:35:54.840 to it you need a little bit of release 01:35:54.840 --> 01:35:59.280 but if you if you stick with saying 01:35:59.280 --> 01:36:02.460 exactly what the sentence set is coming 01:36:02.460 --> 01:36:05.280 you'll find your Bot your body isn't 01:36:05.280 --> 01:36:08.060 having enough time to script the whole 01:36:08.060 --> 01:36:11.100 blah blah blah blah so you're forcing 01:36:11.100 --> 01:36:14.719 your body to do the work just like when 01:36:14.719 --> 01:36:17.580 you're doing yoga and you're stretching 01:36:17.580 --> 01:36:22.100 a muscle you can't talk that muscle into 01:36:22.100 --> 01:36:24.960 expanding its range it just you just 01:36:24.960 --> 01:36:26.780 have to let it 01:36:26.780 --> 01:36:29.219 you know and if you've done that you see 01:36:29.219 --> 01:36:31.139 it'll pull this way and then it pulls on 01:36:31.139 --> 01:36:32.639 your knee and then it pulls under there 01:36:32.639 --> 01:36:34.920 and pulls on that and finally it doesn't 01:36:34.920 --> 01:36:38.340 have any other choice and it lets go and 01:36:38.340 --> 01:36:41.820 now you can do Insight practice because 01:36:41.820 --> 01:36:44.400 you need this energy 01:36:44.400 --> 01:36:46.800 to have insights 01:36:46.800 --> 01:36:49.560 and you can't have new insights if 01:36:49.560 --> 01:36:52.320 you're using your old habitual ways of 01:36:52.320 --> 01:36:53.219 talking 01:36:53.219 --> 01:36:55.679 if talking worked we'd solved the 01:36:55.679 --> 01:36:57.060 problem by now 01:36:57.060 --> 01:36:59.699 we need to change the muscle that does 01:36:59.699 --> 01:37:03.360 the primary fundamental processing of 01:37:03.360 --> 01:37:05.880 information was trying to ask the body 01:37:05.880 --> 01:37:08.639 to tell us something about reality 01:37:08.639 --> 01:37:11.940 it's something the body evolved to do 01:37:11.940 --> 01:37:14.699 but in this practice when you're new 01:37:14.699 --> 01:37:16.920 these other things are happening and 01:37:16.920 --> 01:37:19.020 it's hard it's hard work it's actually 01:37:19.020 --> 01:37:20.820 you get tired and this is why it gets 01:37:20.820 --> 01:37:22.199 silly sometimes because people are 01:37:22.199 --> 01:37:25.100 actually tired and that's okay 01:37:25.100 --> 01:37:28.800 at this point we need release valves 01:37:28.800 --> 01:37:32.699 um so the practice is hard uh from from 01:37:32.699 --> 01:37:35.880 that from that perspective 01:37:35.880 --> 01:37:39.860 um and you just you just notice 01:37:39.860 --> 01:37:42.960 that the there's the the words are 01:37:42.960 --> 01:37:44.639 release valves 01:37:44.639 --> 01:37:46.500 um and they're gonna they're gonna take 01:37:46.500 --> 01:37:49.020 the form that you're habituated to 01:37:49.020 --> 01:37:51.120 so Magdalena for example okay use an 01:37:51.120 --> 01:37:54.060 example she becomes interested in the 01:37:54.060 --> 01:37:57.060 word stem and it you know so that's 01:37:57.060 --> 01:38:00.199 that's a it's just her way of of 01:38:00.199 --> 01:38:03.360 processing energy so and and yet she did 01:38:03.360 --> 01:38:04.860 really well because you could tell she 01:38:04.860 --> 01:38:07.380 thought she was on to something 01:38:07.380 --> 01:38:09.659 and you know Magdalene is she gonna talk 01:38:09.659 --> 01:38:11.639 for 45 minutes because she was talking 01:38:11.639 --> 01:38:14.340 about yeah finance and then like 01:38:14.340 --> 01:38:16.380 something was really happening and then 01:38:16.380 --> 01:38:19.380 it she didn't let it get ahead of her 01:38:19.380 --> 01:38:22.560 and become a whole script yet so so this 01:38:22.560 --> 01:38:26.100 is this is the practice and it shows up 01:38:26.100 --> 01:38:27.719 in different ways with different people 01:38:27.719 --> 01:38:29.699 but 01:38:29.699 --> 01:38:31.260 um 01:38:31.260 --> 01:38:34.560 but we're just we're just getting 01:38:34.560 --> 01:38:38.760 started uh so to have come up with an 01:38:38.760 --> 01:38:41.100 answer yeah Magdalene is that okay I 01:38:41.100 --> 01:38:43.380 used your example because of course no 01:38:43.380 --> 01:38:45.480 it's great I mean I wanted to ask you 01:38:45.480 --> 01:38:47.100 something 01:38:47.100 --> 01:38:49.679 um because uh we talked about this in 01:38:49.679 --> 01:38:52.679 the breakdown breakdown room can I just 01:38:52.679 --> 01:38:54.000 do one thing to math 01:38:54.000 --> 01:38:57.659 but Matt you had this word teleoscopic 01:38:57.659 --> 01:39:01.199 that was very interesting I thought yeah 01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:03.480 because that wasn't like dialogue you 01:39:03.480 --> 01:39:06.360 were like and and your mind didn't make 01:39:06.360 --> 01:39:09.980 too much out of it it was more like 01:39:10.139 --> 01:39:13.620 yeah that was a very big big for me last 01:39:13.620 --> 01:39:16.100 one question 01:39:16.699 --> 01:39:21.780 I'm just in a kerfuffle right now um 01:39:21.780 --> 01:39:26.280 so when you have an Insight then 01:39:26.280 --> 01:39:30.080 do you say that or how do you know 01:39:30.080 --> 01:39:33.120 to make words in your mind 01:39:33.120 --> 01:39:35.639 right at this phase only if it starts to 01:39:35.639 --> 01:39:37.199 make words in their mind you're mine 01:39:37.199 --> 01:39:40.739 because we we agreed 01:39:40.739 --> 01:39:43.800 if it's an Insight you will not lose it 01:39:43.800 --> 01:39:45.719 you don't have to see this is the other 01:39:45.719 --> 01:39:46.920 thing we're afraid of if we don't 01:39:46.920 --> 01:39:48.600 encapsulate it and package it and 01:39:48.600 --> 01:39:51.060 thought and stuff but so 01:39:51.060 --> 01:39:55.080 um so so yes only if if the words have 01:39:55.080 --> 01:39:56.580 already gotten ahead of you and you go 01:39:56.580 --> 01:39:58.920 ahead that was the deal you have to you 01:39:58.920 --> 01:40:00.420 have to say it 01:40:00.420 --> 01:40:03.420 um but if you hold on to your insights 01:40:03.420 --> 01:40:06.120 not well-formed it's you can tell it's 01:40:06.120 --> 01:40:07.340 big 01:40:07.340 --> 01:40:11.580 don't rush words onto it 01:40:11.580 --> 01:40:13.380 but because I felt like I had little 01:40:13.380 --> 01:40:15.840 like feelings under in my mouth yeah 01:40:15.840 --> 01:40:18.960 yeah that it was like oh it's like juicy 01:40:18.960 --> 01:40:21.300 but yes that's your body started 01:40:21.300 --> 01:40:23.880 thinking when you got that word and I 01:40:23.880 --> 01:40:26.159 wanted to 01:40:26.159 --> 01:40:29.219 say that yeah appropriate 01:40:29.219 --> 01:40:32.520 I no well did the words come in your 01:40:32.520 --> 01:40:35.340 mind or just the no no images of a word 01:40:35.340 --> 01:40:38.880 came in my mind okay so now then you did 01:40:38.880 --> 01:40:39.780 right 01:40:39.780 --> 01:40:42.179 yeah yeah 01:40:42.179 --> 01:40:44.540 you 01:40:46.380 --> 01:40:48.540 it was triggered by a word I mean you 01:40:48.540 --> 01:40:50.820 kind of like grabbed that word but then 01:40:50.820 --> 01:40:53.340 your body started to think 01:40:53.340 --> 01:40:56.699 um yeah so that that was good and I 01:40:56.699 --> 01:40:57.659 don't know if you're exhausted 01:40:57.659 --> 01:40:59.340 afterwards that was quite late in the 01:40:59.340 --> 01:41:00.780 process but 01:41:00.780 --> 01:41:02.880 um that's the body thinking 01:41:02.880 --> 01:41:05.340 um yeah 01:41:05.340 --> 01:41:05.880 um 01:41:05.880 --> 01:41:10.560 okay Magdalena sorry no no no it's great 01:41:10.560 --> 01:41:14.100 this is great I mean I I have these you 01:41:14.100 --> 01:41:15.719 know pretty 01:41:15.719 --> 01:41:19.860 all right so I I was curious about why I 01:41:19.860 --> 01:41:23.120 was yawning so much 01:41:23.820 --> 01:41:26.100 I mean as a kind of I don't know if 01:41:26.100 --> 01:41:30.260 you'd call that a biomarker or yeah 01:41:30.920 --> 01:41:35.159 I didn't I didn't feel tired it was like 01:41:35.159 --> 01:41:40.040 I needed to yawn I mean the yawning 01:41:40.040 --> 01:41:43.500 was actually 01:41:43.500 --> 01:41:47.520 the way it was hap 01:41:47.520 --> 01:41:50.219 go ahead sorry right he asked me a 01:41:50.219 --> 01:41:51.540 question oh 01:41:51.540 --> 01:41:54.239 um so so the yawning and then the other 01:41:54.239 --> 01:41:57.600 thing was I really could not open my 01:41:57.600 --> 01:42:01.139 eyes I mean the minute I did I was 01:42:01.139 --> 01:42:04.320 you know I just 01:42:04.320 --> 01:42:07.380 it just short-tercuted everything yeah 01:42:07.380 --> 01:42:11.400 so so the other yawning is because you 01:42:11.400 --> 01:42:13.380 were packing a lot of energy there and 01:42:13.380 --> 01:42:16.860 also not letting too many words so 01:42:16.860 --> 01:42:21.840 yeah the that structure is still yawning 01:42:21.840 --> 01:42:25.020 yeah you know yeah so yeah 01:42:25.020 --> 01:42:28.139 and so and did the third thing I mean 01:42:28.139 --> 01:42:31.920 from uh just it was it was the the 01:42:31.920 --> 01:42:34.199 needing to be blind 01:42:34.199 --> 01:42:39.300 and the yawning oh and and the rocking 01:42:39.300 --> 01:42:42.480 you know it just really went into 01:42:42.480 --> 01:42:44.100 rocking 01:42:44.100 --> 01:42:44.880 um 01:42:44.880 --> 01:42:48.900 so whatever just wanted to wrapping off 01:42:48.900 --> 01:42:51.239 also the body 01:42:51.239 --> 01:42:53.699 that's common for people who are trying 01:42:53.699 --> 01:42:56.820 to think with body you rock 01:42:56.820 --> 01:43:00.000 you know we go like like this 01:43:00.000 --> 01:43:02.340 um uh that's why walking meditation 01:43:02.340 --> 01:43:05.699 quite often produces insights 01:43:05.699 --> 01:43:07.800 um so these are all 01:43:07.800 --> 01:43:12.239 yeah the body and last thing in the 01:43:12.239 --> 01:43:15.840 breakout room when we arrived I I really 01:43:15.840 --> 01:43:18.540 just wanted us to continue to speak over 01:43:18.540 --> 01:43:20.280 each other like the whole idea of taking 01:43:20.280 --> 01:43:24.239 turns was so annoying in a way I mean I 01:43:24.239 --> 01:43:25.920 wanted to hear what people were gonna 01:43:25.920 --> 01:43:28.159 say but it was like 01:43:28.159 --> 01:43:31.139 now let's just continue and see what 01:43:31.139 --> 01:43:33.239 happens you know 01:43:33.239 --> 01:43:35.780 whatever 01:43:37.260 --> 01:43:39.239 I filter on to run this a lot longer 01:43:39.239 --> 01:43:42.420 yeah it felt like it went by very fast 01:43:42.420 --> 01:43:44.900 for me 01:43:45.119 --> 01:43:47.880 I'm really be really interested to see 01:43:47.880 --> 01:43:49.800 what happens if this goes for an hour or 01:43:49.800 --> 01:43:52.080 two hours or something outrageous for 01:43:52.080 --> 01:43:53.159 three days 01:43:53.159 --> 01:43:55.860 oh my God 01:43:55.860 --> 01:43:58.199 any other comments 01:43:58.199 --> 01:44:00.540 I did get some insights that I'll share 01:44:00.540 --> 01:44:03.020 at the end 01:44:03.960 --> 01:44:07.100 time dilation 01:44:12.659 --> 01:44:15.860 I felt really drawn 01:44:17.159 --> 01:44:19.199 to like have this experience in person 01:44:19.199 --> 01:44:21.179 or to try this one-on-one visual because 01:44:21.179 --> 01:44:24.119 uh definitely the impact of anything 01:44:24.119 --> 01:44:25.860 that he said was like so much 01:44:25.860 --> 01:44:28.619 energetically stronger than it was it 01:44:28.619 --> 01:44:30.060 was almost like Zoom was kind of like 01:44:30.060 --> 01:44:31.800 one Collective that was like pretty 01:44:31.800 --> 01:44:34.679 quiet energetically for me and then like 01:44:34.679 --> 01:44:36.060 his was just like 01:44:36.060 --> 01:44:38.639 every time he would say something 01:44:38.639 --> 01:44:39.960 um and I don't think that's just because 01:44:39.960 --> 01:44:41.100 of our connection I think it's because 01:44:41.100 --> 01:44:42.780 we're like literally right here next to 01:44:42.780 --> 01:44:44.159 each other I'm really curious what it 01:44:44.159 --> 01:44:46.380 would be like in person physically I 01:44:46.380 --> 01:44:48.780 think that would change a lot yeah I 01:44:48.780 --> 01:44:51.360 mean this is you know I don't you know 01:44:51.360 --> 01:44:53.280 me I'm elected to do any of these things 01:44:53.280 --> 01:44:55.320 online 01:44:55.320 --> 01:44:57.600 um and what happens is the synesthesia 01:44:57.600 --> 01:45:01.679 between the bodies becomes extremely uh 01:45:01.679 --> 01:45:03.900 extremely 01:45:03.900 --> 01:45:06.900 um interactive right 01:45:06.900 --> 01:45:10.320 um so it's very hard 01:45:10.320 --> 01:45:13.020 you know to be interactive without 01:45:13.020 --> 01:45:16.260 language on Zoom um it happens uh but 01:45:16.260 --> 01:45:18.780 certainly when we're doing Collective 01:45:18.780 --> 01:45:21.659 body thinking uh it's it's good to have 01:45:21.659 --> 01:45:24.300 bodies in space 01:45:24.300 --> 01:45:26.420 um 01:45:32.719 --> 01:45:36.540 and can I just say that 01:45:36.540 --> 01:45:38.880 they being 01:45:38.880 --> 01:45:42.600 uh being on Zoom became part of it for 01:45:42.600 --> 01:45:45.179 me because I was I talked about this in 01:45:45.179 --> 01:45:48.540 our breakout session how I felt like I 01:45:48.540 --> 01:45:50.219 was 01:45:50.219 --> 01:45:50.900 um 01:45:50.900 --> 01:45:54.300 pinging off my environment and I could 01:45:54.300 --> 01:45:57.659 sense how everyone else was too and that 01:45:57.659 --> 01:45:58.940 that 01:45:58.940 --> 01:46:02.280 uh intermingling of all the different 01:46:02.280 --> 01:46:05.040 environments was 01:46:05.040 --> 01:46:05.699 um 01:46:05.699 --> 01:46:08.940 it became part of it and it was 01:46:08.940 --> 01:46:11.100 it was also part of what made the whole 01:46:11.100 --> 01:46:12.960 thing feel so trippy 01:46:12.960 --> 01:46:16.020 yeah so this is a very good point 01:46:16.020 --> 01:46:18.300 um um so we're not 01:46:18.300 --> 01:46:21.540 we're not asking we're not connected to 01:46:21.540 --> 01:46:23.580 each other through dialogue we're 01:46:23.580 --> 01:46:27.179 connected through 01:46:27.179 --> 01:46:30.060 reality or the Earth or the source right 01:46:30.060 --> 01:46:31.980 and so 01:46:31.980 --> 01:46:34.199 um and you know so this will move us on 01:46:34.199 --> 01:46:37.860 to the next instruction if we build on 01:46:37.860 --> 01:46:39.600 it I don't know we have to you know we 01:46:39.600 --> 01:46:43.260 have to we have to start but so I was 01:46:43.260 --> 01:46:45.659 connected to the question and my 01:46:45.659 --> 01:46:48.300 environment and this was what came out 01:46:48.300 --> 01:46:51.840 for me I had uh this was quite toward 01:46:51.840 --> 01:46:54.659 the end and 01:46:54.659 --> 01:47:00.239 um and something was was percolating 01:47:00.239 --> 01:47:04.320 um and I started and it started with 01:47:04.320 --> 01:47:08.119 this phrase dead cat theorem 01:47:08.880 --> 01:47:10.739 and 01:47:10.739 --> 01:47:11.639 um 01:47:11.639 --> 01:47:14.520 then someone said Source return to the 01:47:14.520 --> 01:47:19.080 source after right after I said got dead 01:47:19.080 --> 01:47:21.600 cat theorem someone said Source return 01:47:21.600 --> 01:47:24.119 to the source now when our cat died we 01:47:24.119 --> 01:47:26.820 wrapped her in a t-shirt that 01:47:26.820 --> 01:47:30.480 we had screen printed 01:47:30.480 --> 01:47:34.139 uh for a conference a long time ago and 01:47:34.139 --> 01:47:36.000 it was called flowing to the source so I 01:47:36.000 --> 01:47:37.860 had dead cat thermal and then someone 01:47:37.860 --> 01:47:40.980 says source and then we buried this cat 01:47:40.980 --> 01:47:44.580 and before flowing to the source now I 01:47:44.580 --> 01:47:45.960 have a three right 01:47:45.960 --> 01:47:49.020 and I'm thinking something is work this 01:47:49.020 --> 01:47:51.900 is Insight practice like something 01:47:51.900 --> 01:47:56.460 is happening here and then I um what was 01:47:56.460 --> 01:47:59.520 interesting about this cat was she had 01:47:59.520 --> 01:48:02.280 pancreatic cancer so the last two days 01:48:02.280 --> 01:48:04.560 we actually thought she had rigor mortis 01:48:04.560 --> 01:48:07.739 but she wasn't dead so you know because 01:48:07.739 --> 01:48:09.960 their muscles her cells were dying at 01:48:09.960 --> 01:48:12.659 this level and she's quite awake and 01:48:12.659 --> 01:48:14.520 responsive 01:48:14.520 --> 01:48:17.520 um that was very interesting to me like 01:48:17.520 --> 01:48:20.780 the fact that 01:48:20.780 --> 01:48:23.159 you know the process was very 01:48:23.159 --> 01:48:25.080 interesting and the other thing about it 01:48:25.080 --> 01:48:27.179 is 01:48:27.179 --> 01:48:29.460 um this is one of Sandy's favorite 01:48:29.460 --> 01:48:33.840 animals and uh he really wanted to have 01:48:33.840 --> 01:48:36.179 her die at home we stopped feeding her 01:48:36.179 --> 01:48:38.520 protein and we shed her 01:48:38.520 --> 01:48:43.560 um cucumber juice with pure raid summer 01:48:43.560 --> 01:48:45.000 squash 01:48:45.000 --> 01:48:48.480 um which gave her some time to 01:48:48.480 --> 01:48:51.239 um you know she got really thin but 01:48:51.239 --> 01:48:53.760 um but 01:48:53.760 --> 01:48:57.780 all right so I went in to see her and I 01:48:57.780 --> 01:49:00.600 really like the energy came up in me 01:49:00.600 --> 01:49:04.199 like I was and I never tell people you 01:49:04.199 --> 01:49:06.719 have to put your cat down right 01:49:06.719 --> 01:49:10.080 and I walked out and he said he asked me 01:49:10.080 --> 01:49:11.940 yesterday did I have to go to my mom's 01:49:11.940 --> 01:49:13.739 that was on Thursday and I said no 01:49:13.739 --> 01:49:15.960 because he was going to say maybe we 01:49:15.960 --> 01:49:18.980 should take her to the vet so this this 01:49:18.980 --> 01:49:21.179 realization that it was pretty bad 01:49:21.179 --> 01:49:23.159 happened all at once and she he said 01:49:23.159 --> 01:49:24.540 well I don't know I want to go in and 01:49:24.540 --> 01:49:27.179 check her and she died right at the time 01:49:27.179 --> 01:49:30.840 he was contemplating that it was enough 01:49:30.840 --> 01:49:32.760 um so there was a lot going on my point 01:49:32.760 --> 01:49:35.280 is is that in Collective Insight 01:49:35.280 --> 01:49:38.699 practice whatever the world is showing 01:49:38.699 --> 01:49:41.280 you in your local thing is part of the 01:49:41.280 --> 01:49:43.500 practice you have to let the world in 01:49:43.500 --> 01:49:47.159 it's not dialogic people are not smart 01:49:47.159 --> 01:49:48.600 enough 01:49:48.600 --> 01:49:50.760 um and so then I got dead cat theorem 01:49:50.760 --> 01:49:53.040 and somebody said Return to the source 01:49:53.040 --> 01:49:55.860 and with this beautiful thing and then I 01:49:55.860 --> 01:50:00.020 thought and this was the insight 01:50:00.780 --> 01:50:04.139 one hand clapping there's we need to 01:50:04.139 --> 01:50:05.940 answer this question we have to get 01:50:05.940 --> 01:50:09.360 Beyond The Duality of life in debt and I 01:50:09.360 --> 01:50:11.100 started to say what if the origin is 01:50:11.100 --> 01:50:13.739 something much more like death 01:50:13.739 --> 01:50:15.300 see this is what we always start with 01:50:15.300 --> 01:50:18.000 things like the seed and the wooji and 01:50:18.000 --> 01:50:19.800 the Egg we always start with something 01:50:19.800 --> 01:50:21.900 that's living but what if we could 01:50:21.900 --> 01:50:25.260 understand it this is why we don't have 01:50:25.260 --> 01:50:28.199 understand origin because it's it's got 01:50:28.199 --> 01:50:31.380 to have a lot more of what death is in 01:50:31.380 --> 01:50:34.020 it because what we know for sure is that 01:50:34.020 --> 01:50:36.420 all life comes from death 01:50:36.420 --> 01:50:39.480 this was a huge insight to see like how 01:50:39.480 --> 01:50:42.239 you the practice that you I participated 01:50:42.239 --> 01:50:45.300 in with you just shifted something so 01:50:45.300 --> 01:50:48.060 fundamental in every way we 01:50:48.060 --> 01:50:51.540 asked this question that's even my work 01:50:51.540 --> 01:50:53.820 so this is collective Insight practice 01:50:53.820 --> 01:50:56.940 there's something that is so you look 01:50:56.940 --> 01:50:59.699 around and uh and I think this is when 01:50:59.699 --> 01:51:02.280 Sandra said looking at this is it's kind 01:51:02.280 --> 01:51:03.960 of like 01:51:03.960 --> 01:51:06.239 the answer is right here because we're 01:51:06.239 --> 01:51:08.760 just asking like what is reality and and 01:51:08.760 --> 01:51:10.340 if it could only 01:51:10.340 --> 01:51:13.199 were constrained through these epistemic 01:51:13.199 --> 01:51:15.900 constraints so for me this was 01:51:15.900 --> 01:51:18.000 um um and I know it's a lot it's hard 01:51:18.000 --> 01:51:20.159 work for people 01:51:20.159 --> 01:51:22.260 um and especially if you're starting but 01:51:22.260 --> 01:51:25.199 there it is productive it is very 01:51:25.199 --> 01:51:27.600 Collective and I think I worked on this 01:51:27.600 --> 01:51:29.040 thing for months 01:51:29.040 --> 01:51:33.300 and only in this instance was some kind 01:51:33.300 --> 01:51:35.940 of this kind of insight telescopic might 01:51:35.940 --> 01:51:37.860 be also because there's something about 01:51:37.860 --> 01:51:40.320 it we don't have to if it doesn't ever 01:51:40.320 --> 01:51:42.719 come up again we don't know but um 01:51:42.719 --> 01:51:45.659 that's what Collective Insight practice 01:51:45.659 --> 01:51:50.760 is about you get surprised Magdalena 01:51:53.000 --> 01:51:56.639 you can just call me mad I've earned it 01:51:56.639 --> 01:51:59.699 um anyway 01:51:59.699 --> 01:52:01.380 um it's amazing you brought this up 01:52:01.380 --> 01:52:03.840 because what I what came to me 01:52:03.840 --> 01:52:06.659 afterwards in the breakout room but I 01:52:06.659 --> 01:52:08.219 didn't want to get into it and I won't 01:52:08.219 --> 01:52:10.560 get into it now but I'm sure you know 01:52:10.560 --> 01:52:14.219 the the the the the piran now you know 01:52:14.219 --> 01:52:18.239 the the don't sleep there's snakes that 01:52:18.239 --> 01:52:20.880 whole thing that turned universal 01:52:20.880 --> 01:52:24.780 language of Chomsky all upside down 01:52:24.780 --> 01:52:27.719 and it was with this tribe in the Amazon 01:52:27.719 --> 01:52:30.000 that 01:52:30.000 --> 01:52:34.080 um basically because their environment 01:52:34.080 --> 01:52:36.300 is basically a Russian roulette with 01:52:36.300 --> 01:52:40.139 doubt I mean there's just insects snakes 01:52:40.139 --> 01:52:44.460 uh anything can kill you at any time 01:52:44.460 --> 01:52:46.080 so there's no 01:52:46.080 --> 01:52:48.119 recursivity 01:52:48.119 --> 01:52:51.739 in their language at all none 01:52:51.739 --> 01:52:56.460 and so this this this even in the way 01:52:56.460 --> 01:52:59.520 the the greedy tradition is like don't 01:52:59.520 --> 01:53:01.980 sleep their snakes I mean 01:53:01.980 --> 01:53:05.940 and so in analyzing that language for 01:53:05.940 --> 01:53:07.020 example 01:53:07.020 --> 01:53:09.060 you know there's no yesterday or 01:53:09.060 --> 01:53:10.199 tomorrow 01:53:10.199 --> 01:53:13.440 there's no quantities no numbers there's 01:53:13.440 --> 01:53:16.380 just a little or a lot yeah 01:53:16.380 --> 01:53:19.980 um and there's also 01:53:19.980 --> 01:53:21.119 um 01:53:21.119 --> 01:53:23.159 you know 01:53:23.159 --> 01:53:25.199 that's what 01:53:25.199 --> 01:53:27.920 I just vibrated would you talk about 01:53:27.920 --> 01:53:31.560 with death you know death is so email 01:53:31.560 --> 01:53:35.219 right you know it's not like because to 01:53:35.219 --> 01:53:37.320 start with death is just starting with 01:53:37.320 --> 01:53:40.020 the other side of the other hand but 01:53:40.020 --> 01:53:43.100 there's something about 01:53:43.340 --> 01:53:45.780 this constraint 01:53:45.780 --> 01:53:48.420 that we're always trying to justify even 01:53:48.420 --> 01:53:52.560 me that matters animistic and living 01:53:52.560 --> 01:53:54.540 uh because how can you get like you know 01:53:54.540 --> 01:53:57.659 what I'm saying it's it's just yeah 01:53:57.659 --> 01:53:59.820 let's just hold on to it we don't over 01:53:59.820 --> 01:54:03.800 analyze it yeah Sandra yet 01:54:04.800 --> 01:54:07.139 so at the very end of our breakout 01:54:07.139 --> 01:54:09.719 Schultz said something to the effect 01:54:09.719 --> 01:54:10.880 that 01:54:10.880 --> 01:54:14.820 he kept this pattern of amplification 01:54:14.820 --> 01:54:16.860 going 01:54:16.860 --> 01:54:19.699 and 01:54:19.699 --> 01:54:22.560 that sparked for me well maybe that's 01:54:22.560 --> 01:54:24.900 the origin of the universe 01:54:24.900 --> 01:54:28.380 but what I kept coming up against in the 01:54:28.380 --> 01:54:33.560 imagery during our Collective time was 01:54:35.239 --> 01:54:37.920 interdependent color Rising I mean 01:54:37.920 --> 01:54:39.960 that's not the words that were there but 01:54:39.960 --> 01:54:43.820 that's kind of how it translates 01:54:43.880 --> 01:54:49.199 and the not Tunis of it like how do we 01:54:49.199 --> 01:54:51.300 how do we work with the one hand how do 01:54:51.300 --> 01:54:55.199 we work with the ah yeah so it's not 01:54:55.199 --> 01:54:57.600 that oh death has been there from the 01:54:57.600 --> 01:54:59.880 beginning is what we're saying it's it's 01:54:59.880 --> 01:55:03.199 and and 01:55:06.540 --> 01:55:10.380 yeah we and and that's part of the story 01:55:10.380 --> 01:55:12.360 and you know life has been there from 01:55:12.360 --> 01:55:14.280 the beginning let's say but that and 01:55:14.280 --> 01:55:15.719 then there's something richer than that 01:55:15.719 --> 01:55:17.820 because this is still within that that 01:55:17.820 --> 01:55:22.440 framework yeah JJ 01:55:23.040 --> 01:55:25.500 uh something that came through towards 01:55:25.500 --> 01:55:27.540 the end of our breakout session 01:55:27.540 --> 01:55:29.580 um we'd kind of all been bouncing of 01:55:29.580 --> 01:55:31.980 each other and then uh what came up in 01:55:31.980 --> 01:55:34.860 me was a persistent origin 01:55:34.860 --> 01:55:36.600 and again like kind of think about okay 01:55:36.600 --> 01:55:38.880 not looking at origin as this thing this 01:55:38.880 --> 01:55:42.600 started over there but that is yeah it's 01:55:42.600 --> 01:55:44.580 the continuity and like the Persistence 01:55:44.580 --> 01:55:46.560 of it and when you're talking about sort 01:55:46.560 --> 01:55:48.420 of death in that way as well like it 01:55:48.420 --> 01:55:51.540 that just really resonated with that 01:55:51.540 --> 01:55:53.460 um yeah that just came through quite 01:55:53.460 --> 01:55:56.280 strong then yeah every things were dying 01:55:56.280 --> 01:55:58.980 in being born from the death ever since 01:55:58.980 --> 01:56:00.600 the beginning something like that like 01:56:00.600 --> 01:56:03.480 some yeah okay so this is a little over 01:56:03.480 --> 01:56:05.520 time does anybody else have something to 01:56:05.520 --> 01:56:08.100 say can you see the inside practice in 01:56:08.100 --> 01:56:09.600 this 01:56:09.600 --> 01:56:10.980 um 01:56:10.980 --> 01:56:13.679 um there I have a see but it's ever 01:56:13.679 --> 01:56:15.960 present death isn't it like when we say 01:56:15.960 --> 01:56:18.300 of a present origin that my my mental 01:56:18.300 --> 01:56:21.179 model immediately goes to Life's Source 01:56:21.179 --> 01:56:23.639 returns return return to the source 01:56:23.639 --> 01:56:26.659 she literally this dead cat 01:56:26.659 --> 01:56:29.820 returned to the source we wrapped her in 01:56:29.820 --> 01:56:31.260 something that said flowing to the 01:56:31.260 --> 01:56:33.840 source it was literally that is the 01:56:33.840 --> 01:56:38.760 source she's dead like like this 01:56:38.760 --> 01:56:40.860 it's weird 01:56:40.860 --> 01:56:44.639 go ahead Katie 01:56:44.639 --> 01:56:46.800 um I just I wanted to share this since 01:56:46.800 --> 01:56:48.900 or a question whether I should share 01:56:48.900 --> 01:56:50.460 since the kind of like the beginning of 01:56:50.460 --> 01:56:52.800 this topic but I like I personally have 01:56:52.800 --> 01:56:53.639 a 01:56:53.639 --> 01:56:56.159 Like An Origin story that kind of meets 01:56:56.159 --> 01:56:57.900 the criteria at least at least for me 01:56:57.900 --> 01:57:01.080 that I believe in I'm able to believe in 01:57:01.080 --> 01:57:02.400 fully 01:57:02.400 --> 01:57:03.420 um and it was something that like 01:57:03.420 --> 01:57:05.420 arrived through one of these like crazy 01:57:05.420 --> 01:57:08.699 like anxiety experiences 01:57:08.699 --> 01:57:12.060 um it's not fully articulable in words 01:57:12.060 --> 01:57:15.020 but I don't know if I 01:57:15.020 --> 01:57:17.340 like it might be good to talk about it 01:57:17.340 --> 01:57:19.020 sometime or like try to write it down or 01:57:19.020 --> 01:57:21.420 something like that it's kind of felt 01:57:21.420 --> 01:57:23.580 like a 01:57:23.580 --> 01:57:24.840 um 01:57:24.840 --> 01:57:27.739 the evolution of the ability to to to 01:57:27.739 --> 01:57:31.320 regenerate and like 01:57:31.320 --> 01:57:34.739 yeah like recursivity over Through Time 01:57:34.739 --> 01:57:37.679 yeah so this is another interesting 01:57:37.679 --> 01:57:42.139 question what what is something 01:57:43.260 --> 01:57:46.400 one hand clapping 01:57:46.440 --> 01:57:49.940 that dies 01:57:50.159 --> 01:57:53.460 itself dies and is born and it can't be 01:57:53.460 --> 01:57:56.280 like temporal like the Phoenix it's like 01:57:56.280 --> 01:58:01.980 the whole thing yeah the whole thing uh 01:58:01.980 --> 01:58:04.619 this is very fascinating this is very 01:58:04.619 --> 01:58:08.460 fascinating uh yeah it's basically this 01:58:08.460 --> 01:58:10.199 kind of idea that 01:58:10.199 --> 01:58:12.119 um 01:58:12.119 --> 01:58:14.580 like 01:58:14.580 --> 01:58:16.260 like we we think about like not 01:58:16.260 --> 01:58:17.940 Evolution and natural selection like 01:58:17.940 --> 01:58:20.099 things that are that are able to to 01:58:20.099 --> 01:58:21.599 survive in their environment are then 01:58:21.599 --> 01:58:23.460 able to survive and reproduce so we see 01:58:23.460 --> 01:58:26.280 more of them in reality 01:58:26.280 --> 01:58:27.840 um but like the rude idea is kind of 01:58:27.840 --> 01:58:30.179 something more like things that are able 01:58:30.179 --> 01:58:31.679 to exist 01:58:31.679 --> 01:58:34.619 are able to exist and they're kind of 01:58:34.619 --> 01:58:36.420 like strategies that are able to exist 01:58:36.420 --> 01:58:38.099 more 01:58:38.099 --> 01:58:41.159 um like more in reality in space-time so 01:58:41.159 --> 01:58:42.480 like you can 01:58:42.480 --> 01:58:44.340 and like one way 01:58:44.340 --> 01:58:46.020 one way is literally just to be able to 01:58:46.020 --> 01:58:47.639 take form and then another way is to be 01:58:47.639 --> 01:58:50.340 able to take form that is stable and can 01:58:50.340 --> 01:58:52.320 persist over time one way to exist more 01:58:52.320 --> 01:58:54.239 is like to be able to 01:58:54.239 --> 01:58:56.639 like be physically larger and then to 01:58:56.639 --> 01:58:59.099 like regenerate copies of yourself 01:58:59.099 --> 01:59:00.599 um but those copies have to be somewhat 01:59:00.599 --> 01:59:02.820 flexible as the environment changes so 01:59:02.820 --> 01:59:03.960 that you can morph yourself but 01:59:03.960 --> 01:59:05.219 basically like this process like 01:59:05.219 --> 01:59:09.199 building it's up itself up into 01:59:09.480 --> 01:59:11.820 like the the thing that ultimately would 01:59:11.820 --> 01:59:14.699 be the most able to exist in reality 01:59:14.699 --> 01:59:17.520 would be the thing that can 01:59:17.520 --> 01:59:19.980 can evolve in order to yeah like 01:59:19.980 --> 01:59:22.320 regenerate itself as it dies in a way so 01:59:22.320 --> 01:59:24.179 that it's existed all the way from the 01:59:24.179 --> 01:59:26.400 beginning it would just pervade it from 01:59:26.400 --> 01:59:27.119 that 01:59:27.119 --> 01:59:29.880 Eternal yeah Eternal so you have like a 01:59:29.880 --> 01:59:31.860 future causing the past kind of thing as 01:59:31.860 --> 01:59:35.219 it's learned how to become yeah through 01:59:35.219 --> 01:59:36.960 an evolutionary process this thing that 01:59:36.960 --> 01:59:39.659 can be eternal yeah 01:59:39.659 --> 01:59:43.260 that's like JJ's persistence 01:59:43.260 --> 01:59:46.380 um yeah all right this is great this is 01:59:46.380 --> 01:59:47.520 this is 01:59:47.520 --> 01:59:49.739 this is how 01:59:49.739 --> 01:59:52.699 it happens 01:59:52.739 --> 01:59:54.780 so pay attention to like what the 01:59:54.780 --> 01:59:56.099 universe 01:59:56.099 --> 02:00:00.060 uh might add uh to the conversation it's 02:00:00.060 --> 02:00:03.619 not a conversation sorry 02:00:04.860 --> 02:00:08.580 thank you very much for uh yeah for uh 02:00:08.580 --> 02:00:13.340 playing this this game game with me ## Cohort 2 00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:04.500 foreign 00:00:11.900 --> 00:00:17.420 that big smile Sam has on his face 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:27.980 just want to uh welcome Ellen 00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:32.840 who is a soul that I know 00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:35.700 um 00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:39.480 so I'll give a little introduction to 00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:41.160 um I'm not sure if 00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:43.200 you've had time to watch any of the 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.600 content or anything Ellen 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:47.399 um but this is the start of a new thing 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:51.239 and it's a strange thing so it's it's 00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:54.480 strange to all of us uh so it's a it's a 00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:58.620 good place to start 00:00:58.620 --> 00:01:00.840 and that is 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.080 um we've been trying to compose a new 00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:06.619 theory of the body 00:01:06.619 --> 00:01:12.479 and in this second uh part of the year 00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:16.200 um we're into origin stories 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:18.260 um 00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:23.040 and so this week we are thinking of 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:23.460 [Music] 00:01:23.460 --> 00:01:24.240 um 00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:26.759 the origins of the body but our word 00:01:26.759 --> 00:01:30.119 body means all kinds of bodies like a 00:01:30.119 --> 00:01:33.060 planetary body where an electron is a 00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:36.360 body or a tree is a body 00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:37.979 or 00:01:37.979 --> 00:01:40.439 and we're dealing with this notion of my 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:44.240 body as Bonnie is a is compounded from 00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:46.920 organisms which are also bodies so this 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.619 is the compound individual 00:01:49.619 --> 00:01:52.200 but we can also then extend this notion 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:53.520 of body 00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:56.820 to a human Collective a collective of 00:01:56.820 --> 00:01:59.100 compound individuals 00:01:59.100 --> 00:02:01.619 then what's the difference between a 00:02:01.619 --> 00:02:04.020 collective a society a compound 00:02:04.020 --> 00:02:06.360 individual or is it a collective of 00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:08.459 compound individuals 00:02:08.459 --> 00:02:11.700 so these are what I would call some of 00:02:11.700 --> 00:02:14.099 the epistemic constraints that we're 00:02:14.099 --> 00:02:18.000 dealing with when we talk about a body 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:22.739 and we just know notice notice that 00:02:22.739 --> 00:02:24.739 um 00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:28.379 and some of those Concepts that I just 00:02:28.379 --> 00:02:32.520 said might uh come into play 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:34.500 again 00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:36.000 um 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.959 is the planet Earth because it has a 00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:44.900 biosphere a compound individual 00:02:45.660 --> 00:02:49.739 um but Mars is not or is the the solar 00:02:49.739 --> 00:02:52.260 system a collective 00:02:52.260 --> 00:02:53.959 of forces 00:02:53.959 --> 00:02:57.920 inanimate planets 00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:00.959 or is it a compound individual these are 00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:03.360 these are interesting questions 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:03.959 um 00:03:03.959 --> 00:03:06.480 we don't ask them because we want to 00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:09.019 torture ourselves or come up with some 00:03:09.019 --> 00:03:13.680 historical and novel meta Theory we 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.940 asked them because we want to 00:03:16.940 --> 00:03:20.700 investigate meaning at a human level at 00:03:20.700 --> 00:03:22.800 a deep human level 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.319 and also 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.319 noticing that regardless of what culture 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.500 you're in and regardless of whether your 00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:34.280 parents ever sat you down or you went to 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:39.060 a church or a set saying and people told 00:03:39.060 --> 00:03:42.120 you an origin story we hold origin 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.760 stories in our 00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:48.180 in our meaning making system as human 00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:51.540 beings so there's always an origin story 00:03:51.540 --> 00:03:55.799 um in in to one extent or another 00:03:55.799 --> 00:03:58.920 um so we're this is what we're 00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:00.900 investigating 00:04:00.900 --> 00:04:03.180 um and we do hope to come up with an 00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:06.120 artifact that's useful and helpful in 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.879 the in this along this along these lines 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.220 okay does everybody understand where 00:04:11.220 --> 00:04:12.959 we're at 00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:13.920 um 00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:16.979 now the interesting thing about asking 00:04:16.979 --> 00:04:18.600 questions like this is that they're 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.380 unfathomably difficult to answer but 00:04:22.380 --> 00:04:24.960 because they involve 00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:28.020 the very essence of Being Human anyone 00:04:28.020 --> 00:04:30.600 can think about them right there's no 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.600 like special expertise in asking 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:34.680 yourselves 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.380 where did I come from 00:04:37.380 --> 00:04:39.660 what's the original face of the universe 00:04:39.660 --> 00:04:43.800 or any of these these these questions 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:45.500 um so at the one hand they're they're 00:04:45.500 --> 00:04:48.000 completely unfathomable and at the other 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.699 hand every human being has a direct 00:04:50.699 --> 00:04:52.139 access 00:04:52.139 --> 00:04:55.759 to answering this question 00:04:56.699 --> 00:04:58.139 um now 00:04:58.139 --> 00:05:00.840 what we're doing is we're practicing 00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:04.100 Collective Insight practice or trying to 00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:10.020 in a kind of uh very down and dirty way 00:05:10.020 --> 00:05:11.580 um because we all know each other pretty 00:05:11.580 --> 00:05:13.139 well and 00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:15.080 I didn't want to 00:05:15.080 --> 00:05:20.220 waste any time supporting the process so 00:05:20.220 --> 00:05:23.759 um let's look at what the methodology is 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.740 and then I'll open it up to some 00:05:25.740 --> 00:05:27.960 questions about the methodology for 00:05:27.960 --> 00:05:30.479 those of you who jumped into it last 00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:31.860 time 00:05:31.860 --> 00:05:35.160 um and and this is the methodology of 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.479 collective Insight practice 00:05:38.520 --> 00:05:41.280 it's extremely 00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:42.539 um 00:05:42.539 --> 00:05:47.039 important to understand that 00:05:47.340 --> 00:05:50.400 we can that when we contemplate 00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:52.139 questions like this we're looking for 00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:53.340 insight 00:05:53.340 --> 00:05:56.280 and insight comes through the body we 00:05:56.280 --> 00:05:59.220 need to think with our bodies not think 00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:03.419 about our bodies Okay so 00:06:03.419 --> 00:06:06.240 um what do I mean by that we talked 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.479 about how children when they're young 00:06:09.479 --> 00:06:12.060 they get hunches about how the world 00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:13.380 works 00:06:13.380 --> 00:06:15.539 they don't get these hunches because 00:06:15.539 --> 00:06:17.940 they formulate sentences in their head 00:06:17.940 --> 00:06:20.280 and then think about it and get a theory 00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:22.979 and then write it down they just their 00:06:22.979 --> 00:06:24.800 body works out 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.419 extraordinarily complex things like how 00:06:27.419 --> 00:06:28.919 to speak 00:06:28.919 --> 00:06:33.240 and how to put syntax together and uh 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.699 what what is more there's four pencils 00:06:35.699 --> 00:06:37.199 over here and there's two pencils over 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.080 here and they figure out laws of 00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:42.180 causality about self other and World 00:06:42.180 --> 00:06:44.940 they figure out that they can move 00:06:44.940 --> 00:06:47.400 people at a distance but they don't 00:06:47.400 --> 00:06:50.280 figure any of this out by constructing 00:06:50.280 --> 00:06:52.759 thoughts and words in their heads 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:56.360 zero zero 00:06:56.460 --> 00:07:00.479 and the reality is this level of 00:07:00.479 --> 00:07:03.240 thinking cognizing 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:08.039 is then proven from neuroscience 00:07:08.039 --> 00:07:10.860 to proceed at a rate that has much more 00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:13.620 power than the 00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:16.139 part of your brain that thinks and 00:07:16.139 --> 00:07:19.139 thoughts so there's something like a 00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:22.380 hundred million bits per second of 00:07:22.380 --> 00:07:25.020 processing information in your body and 00:07:25.020 --> 00:07:27.720 the and your thinking when you think of 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.880 it with words in your head you get about 00:07:29.880 --> 00:07:34.520 14 to 64 bits of information 00:07:36.539 --> 00:07:39.599 okay so it's very important that what 00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:42.720 we're doing is something strange because 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:44.940 you might not think you you're thinking 00:07:44.940 --> 00:07:47.360 at all 00:07:47.580 --> 00:07:50.639 okay so what does it feel like to think 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.259 with your body 00:07:52.259 --> 00:07:56.660 now sometimes in your life 00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.699 something impacts you and you've thought 00:07:59.699 --> 00:08:01.139 of it this way you thought of it that 00:08:01.139 --> 00:08:03.300 way and you find yourself you're just 00:08:03.300 --> 00:08:06.000 stunned by the question you ever feel 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:08.280 like that like you just sit there and 00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:10.319 you're stunned by the question the 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.660 question has grabbed you 00:08:12.660 --> 00:08:14.940 but you don't have any thoughts you're 00:08:14.940 --> 00:08:18.080 stunned by the question 00:08:19.139 --> 00:08:21.840 but something's happening in you also 00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:23.160 you know 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:23.759 um 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:25.979 I don't get into that but something is 00:08:25.979 --> 00:08:28.319 happening something is it's not 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.740 emotional content it's a 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.979 single-minded focusness of the body and 00:08:37.979 --> 00:08:41.459 that your brain and your 00:08:41.459 --> 00:08:44.039 mind that thinks it thoughts doesn't it 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.740 doesn't have privy to 00:08:46.740 --> 00:08:49.680 he doesn't have privy too 00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:53.519 um and this is how 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.580 um 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.300 the Insight practice happens so what are 00:09:00.300 --> 00:09:02.880 we doing what what are we we're thinking 00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:05.940 with our body thinking through our body 00:09:05.940 --> 00:09:07.920 not with our body like here's us and 00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:09.839 here's our body we're thinking through 00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:13.160 our body and our bodies in communication 00:09:13.160 --> 00:09:17.339 with the world the worlding of it of 00:09:17.339 --> 00:09:18.420 everything 00:09:18.420 --> 00:09:21.740 the body's remembering 00:09:21.740 --> 00:09:26.160 how nose has a remembrance of how 00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:28.860 complex things get worked out and we 00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:31.200 want to run this question which is quite 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:34.800 conceptual through those processes of 00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:37.220 the body 00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:41.760 now as we do this there are certain 00:09:41.760 --> 00:09:45.560 techniques that if you're new at this 00:09:45.560 --> 00:09:49.500 you have to use certain uh like training 00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:51.660 wheels I would say 00:09:51.660 --> 00:09:54.839 like I write all this course content I 00:09:54.839 --> 00:09:56.279 think about it you know when I come in 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.260 and I said I'm thinking about it all all 00:09:58.260 --> 00:10:01.980 week like I don't think about it I just 00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:05.580 it's it's consuming me it's metabolizing 00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:06.779 in me 00:10:06.779 --> 00:10:09.300 and then all of a sudden usually I call 00:10:09.300 --> 00:10:11.040 my elves I wake up in the middle of the 00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:13.500 night and it's just a download and I 00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:15.899 just write out the content okay and this 00:10:15.899 --> 00:10:17.640 is something that's fascinated me since 00:10:17.640 --> 00:10:19.560 I was in college and I've told you this 00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:21.660 story I'm just gonna ramble a little to 00:10:21.660 --> 00:10:23.700 give people reason to believe that this 00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:25.800 crazy thing we're doing is real 00:10:25.800 --> 00:10:29.339 and that is I would study try to study 00:10:29.339 --> 00:10:30.899 for physics this was before we had 00:10:30.899 --> 00:10:32.940 computers and I would fall asleep in the 00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:35.959 cubicles and not be able to do my 00:10:35.959 --> 00:10:39.300 homework but I couldn't do the the 00:10:39.300 --> 00:10:42.420 exercise test exercise test 00:10:42.420 --> 00:10:44.579 and then I would get up and I'd go and 00:10:44.579 --> 00:10:46.560 to make the one and fall asleep and in 00:10:46.560 --> 00:10:48.540 the middle of the night 00:10:48.540 --> 00:10:50.399 I would know the answer 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:52.440 and I think 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.560 like how did that happen and this was 00:10:55.560 --> 00:10:59.820 like 50 years ago or 40 years ago and 00:10:59.820 --> 00:11:02.880 ever since then I've been studying from 00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:05.700 a first person perspective like what 00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:06.899 happens 00:11:06.899 --> 00:11:09.180 when that's happening and I've gotten 00:11:09.180 --> 00:11:12.839 really lazy like before I do a re like a 00:11:12.839 --> 00:11:15.300 retreat or a conference I just set an 00:11:15.300 --> 00:11:18.060 intention before I go to bed 00:11:18.060 --> 00:11:22.140 and then I'm like okay easy for me I 00:11:22.140 --> 00:11:24.060 don't have to think about it I mean 00:11:24.060 --> 00:11:26.820 there's something you know Neuroscience 00:11:26.820 --> 00:11:30.540 also uh has a lot to say about this but 00:11:30.540 --> 00:11:32.760 you can get extremely 00:11:32.760 --> 00:11:36.540 uh confident in 00:11:36.540 --> 00:11:39.180 um thinking through through the body now 00:11:39.180 --> 00:11:40.920 we all know this is true when you play 00:11:40.920 --> 00:11:42.899 sports that thinking while you're 00:11:42.899 --> 00:11:45.600 playing sports is not helpful 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.000 we also know for example if I'm doing 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.240 yoga and I'm stretching out my left calf 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:52.860 muscle 00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:55.560 um it does no good for me to try to 00:11:55.560 --> 00:11:57.660 explain to the muscles oh you just have 00:11:57.660 --> 00:12:00.480 to move some of that tannic acid out you 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.320 know it does it does no good for me to 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.420 approach the problem that way what it 00:12:06.420 --> 00:12:09.300 What is helpful is for me to say to the 00:12:09.300 --> 00:12:11.220 body you know how to do it you know how 00:12:11.220 --> 00:12:13.740 to do it I have no clue so now we're 00:12:13.740 --> 00:12:15.480 talking about like the level of a 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:17.100 compound individual the compound 00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:19.380 individual saying I don't have cognitive 00:12:19.380 --> 00:12:22.380 access to what you do when I give you a 00:12:22.380 --> 00:12:23.640 problem 00:12:23.640 --> 00:12:25.560 yeah 00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:28.200 um and the nature of the mind is the 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:32.040 body will serve up then the answer to 00:12:32.040 --> 00:12:35.700 the mind uh when it has something 00:12:35.700 --> 00:12:37.320 now 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:42.360 training wheels one is that when when as 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.100 I said in the last 00:12:44.100 --> 00:12:46.560 um session the first session Collective 00:12:46.560 --> 00:12:50.040 Insight practice is not dialogic but 00:12:50.040 --> 00:12:53.279 we're not talking to each other 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.700 where our bodies are talking to the 00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:58.880 world 00:12:59.700 --> 00:13:03.839 um but we want we will share things 00:13:03.839 --> 00:13:06.000 occasionally 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.779 things that seem surprising to have a 00:13:09.779 --> 00:13:11.579 certain mark 00:13:11.579 --> 00:13:14.279 um like last time someone got fascinated 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:18.240 with the word teleoscope 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.279 and it was an interesting word it was 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.200 different so something was percolating 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:25.980 in him that had this label teleoscope 00:13:25.980 --> 00:13:28.220 and we also talked about 00:13:28.220 --> 00:13:30.660 necrogenesis last time 00:13:30.660 --> 00:13:33.480 so some of these things are interesting 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.540 we don't want to clamp down on them they 00:13:36.540 --> 00:13:37.380 are 00:13:37.380 --> 00:13:39.600 certain spices that have been put in the 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.060 stew some things have energy and will 00:13:42.060 --> 00:13:43.800 last to the last session and someone 00:13:43.800 --> 00:13:46.980 won't have that much energy some are 00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:50.639 peripheral okay so what it's not 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.540 dialogic but what happens is 00:13:54.540 --> 00:13:57.300 we want to 00:13:57.300 --> 00:13:59.279 um release 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:02.279 the when when we're trying to think 00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:04.560 through our bodies 00:14:04.560 --> 00:14:05.839 um 00:14:05.839 --> 00:14:09.300 people who are not used to this the body 00:14:09.300 --> 00:14:12.779 will start to you start to release that 00:14:12.779 --> 00:14:15.120 energy by creating sentences in your 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:15.839 head 00:14:15.839 --> 00:14:21.060 and so the way to release that slowly is 00:14:21.060 --> 00:14:23.760 to not let the sentences build up in 00:14:23.760 --> 00:14:26.700 your head as whole sentences certainly 00:14:26.700 --> 00:14:28.680 not as whole paragraphs 00:14:28.680 --> 00:14:30.839 right and this is what we usually do we 00:14:30.839 --> 00:14:32.820 get oh we're in practice and then we 00:14:32.820 --> 00:14:36.180 start and we're compo okay and the way 00:14:36.180 --> 00:14:40.380 you want to do that is you want to agree 00:14:40.380 --> 00:14:43.139 it's a contract amongst us is as soon as 00:14:43.139 --> 00:14:44.399 a word 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:46.980 starts to presence itself in your head 00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:49.320 you're gonna say it 00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:51.660 don't get so far that it's a whole 00:14:51.660 --> 00:14:53.220 sentence if you're saying whole 00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:55.620 sentences you're not paying attention 00:14:55.620 --> 00:14:56.639 enough 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.959 you want to speak the very first word 00:14:59.959 --> 00:15:03.240 because the vigilance in letting the 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.279 first word go 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.639 create a stop if you speak the first 00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:11.220 word the net many of the next ones won't 00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:12.720 come 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.339 so 00:15:14.339 --> 00:15:17.579 if you're speaking whole sentences then 00:15:17.579 --> 00:15:21.660 that means the whole thing has 00:15:21.660 --> 00:15:23.279 come 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:25.560 got it gotten ahead of you so you want 00:15:25.560 --> 00:15:27.420 to be very vigilant 00:15:27.420 --> 00:15:31.680 as soon as a word a thought thing in 00:15:31.680 --> 00:15:34.980 your head comes you want to speak it 00:15:34.980 --> 00:15:37.560 so some people were a little confused 00:15:37.560 --> 00:15:39.600 last time and so I'm sitting here 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.380 talking about Origins and I hear my head 00:15:43.380 --> 00:15:45.120 say 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:46.680 this 00:15:46.680 --> 00:15:49.620 okay that if if I did it right that's 00:15:49.620 --> 00:15:51.959 all I would have to do I just did it 00:15:51.959 --> 00:15:53.279 right I couldn't remember what I was 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.139 going to say but if I let it come be 00:15:55.139 --> 00:15:57.600 like this can't be the right thing I can 00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:01.500 I'm supposed to say it doesn't matter if 00:16:01.500 --> 00:16:04.680 it's if you it doesn't matter the form 00:16:04.680 --> 00:16:07.380 of what's coming out if you caught it at 00:16:07.380 --> 00:16:08.279 this 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.160 then it's perfect so you want to make 00:16:11.160 --> 00:16:14.040 sure you speak every word that is 00:16:14.040 --> 00:16:15.839 composed in your head 00:16:15.839 --> 00:16:18.480 if it comes out as a word as a thought 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:19.440 thing 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.680 as an inner talk you want to speak it 00:16:22.680 --> 00:16:24.779 but you don't want to speak it and then 00:16:24.779 --> 00:16:26.459 let it continue you know what I'm saying 00:16:26.459 --> 00:16:28.920 you want to get it right as it presents 00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:31.279 itself 00:16:32.459 --> 00:16:34.920 first maybe three words will come or 00:16:34.920 --> 00:16:37.500 whole sentences then one word and then 00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:39.300 you can catch the words before they 00:16:39.300 --> 00:16:41.639 actually come 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.399 now as you do this process what you're 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.399 doing is you're training your body to 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:50.339 say no it's not the usual thing like 00:16:50.339 --> 00:16:52.320 when I ask a question and then I want 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.300 you to pour all these thought things in 00:16:54.300 --> 00:16:57.779 my head I want to be patient and have 00:16:57.779 --> 00:17:01.860 you think through this for me 00:17:01.860 --> 00:17:03.959 um and so that builds up energy in the 00:17:03.959 --> 00:17:08.400 body and for novices that energy usually 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.819 takes a habituated form 00:17:11.819 --> 00:17:15.419 so what might happen is 00:17:15.419 --> 00:17:18.720 it's that you might feel frustrated or 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.079 you might feel this is stupid or you 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.540 might feel 00:17:24.540 --> 00:17:28.079 um angry or you might feel combative or 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:29.280 whatever 00:17:29.280 --> 00:17:33.120 and those might turn into little thought 00:17:33.120 --> 00:17:35.220 things in your head which you would have 00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:36.960 to speak 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:41.220 um but do not be surprised if your body 00:17:41.220 --> 00:17:45.480 starts taking on a habit uh because if 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:47.520 you're a novice that's what it does so 00:17:47.520 --> 00:17:50.160 we're we're not letting it release this 00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:52.980 energy into like blah blah blah so 00:17:52.980 --> 00:17:55.679 what's cultivating energy in the body 00:17:55.679 --> 00:17:59.100 and if you're a novice it it only knows 00:17:59.100 --> 00:18:00.500 you know is it 00:18:00.500 --> 00:18:02.580 it'll follow a bunch of things it's 00:18:02.580 --> 00:18:06.360 always done and then that's okay we 00:18:06.360 --> 00:18:08.820 that's that's just your body being 00:18:08.820 --> 00:18:12.020 trained eventually none of those work 00:18:12.020 --> 00:18:14.400 you didn't talk about them you didn't 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:17.580 care about them none of those work and 00:18:17.580 --> 00:18:20.340 then the body remembers that it has a 00:18:20.340 --> 00:18:23.480 natural intelligence 00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:26.760 so that's their that's the basic 00:18:26.760 --> 00:18:28.100 methodology 00:18:28.100 --> 00:18:31.320 and the we're going to ask the body to 00:18:31.320 --> 00:18:33.900 be in service of 00:18:33.900 --> 00:18:34.679 um 00:18:34.679 --> 00:18:38.480 helping us out like 00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:41.160 where did we come from where did this 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:43.559 reality come from what is the essence 00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:46.260 when I say 00:18:46.260 --> 00:18:48.600 um speak from source which a lot of 00:18:48.600 --> 00:18:50.280 people in this community what what is 00:18:50.280 --> 00:18:53.100 Source what is the source what is like 00:18:53.100 --> 00:18:55.080 what is that we want to have a very 00:18:55.080 --> 00:18:58.380 strong Insight around these things 00:18:58.380 --> 00:19:00.960 and were were 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.919 you know uh Ian mcgilchrist says uh the 00:19:04.919 --> 00:19:07.980 mind is a great servant 00:19:07.980 --> 00:19:10.679 but the body is the master is its master 00:19:10.679 --> 00:19:15.419 so we want them body uh the mind to be 00:19:15.419 --> 00:19:17.760 in service to the body 00:19:17.760 --> 00:19:19.799 um by waiting and being patient and 00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.919 understanding acknowledging uh its 00:19:22.919 --> 00:19:25.940 epistemic limitations 00:19:27.059 --> 00:19:30.380 does that make sense 00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:33.299 are there any questions about the 00:19:33.299 --> 00:19:35.039 methodology 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:37.740 first or comments if somebody did it 00:19:37.740 --> 00:19:39.660 last time and 00:19:39.660 --> 00:19:43.580 can shed some light 00:19:43.620 --> 00:19:47.100 no no light here but 00:19:47.100 --> 00:19:48.740 um 00:19:48.740 --> 00:19:52.740 uh I I it did happen the last time 00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:54.900 and I wasn't sure what to do in that 00:19:54.900 --> 00:19:58.100 kind of interrupted things 00:19:58.100 --> 00:20:00.660 that sometimes 00:20:00.660 --> 00:20:05.419 the words came in another language 00:20:05.580 --> 00:20:08.360 you just speaking 00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:13.020 I translate I translate it 00:20:13.020 --> 00:20:15.480 oh I would just speak them as they come 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.640 out in in the language it is because 00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:19.919 you're not you're you're we're training 00:20:19.919 --> 00:20:22.700 our bodies and also 00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:25.260 it's not probably not coincidence that 00:20:25.260 --> 00:20:27.240 the body wants to morph into a different 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:29.880 language the body is it's kind of like 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.419 when you're getting a massage and you go 00:20:33.419 --> 00:20:36.000 like you go with it you you because your 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.620 shoulder hurts they work on that and 00:20:37.620 --> 00:20:39.780 then it's your hip and then it said this 00:20:39.780 --> 00:20:42.120 and then it said that and this is the 00:20:42.120 --> 00:20:44.280 same kind of thing your body's doing as 00:20:44.280 --> 00:20:48.059 it's trying to work work out of these 00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:52.620 habits and it knows it knows 00:20:52.620 --> 00:20:55.440 what's a what's a it knows what's a good 00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:56.760 sequence 00:20:56.760 --> 00:21:00.059 so when you switch language 00:21:00.059 --> 00:21:02.580 you know just if you can just as it 00:21:02.580 --> 00:21:04.080 comes in a different language sometimes 00:21:04.080 --> 00:21:06.299 it's just baby talk some you some people 00:21:06.299 --> 00:21:08.760 have baby talk you know 00:21:08.760 --> 00:21:10.640 um as as the whole 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:15.960 body to body to language 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:19.700 thing starts to decouple 00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:22.860 we're not after you know we have this 00:21:22.860 --> 00:21:25.919 question we're not after an answer like 00:21:25.919 --> 00:21:28.919 one and done or more at the phase of 00:21:28.919 --> 00:21:32.159 practicing the methodology 00:21:32.159 --> 00:21:34.620 um what you can 00:21:34.620 --> 00:21:38.400 um so what I want you to start first is 00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:42.120 um just presence this question like 00:21:42.120 --> 00:21:48.320 how the heck did we get here or what is 00:21:49.020 --> 00:21:51.419 where did we come from or how did the 00:21:51.419 --> 00:21:53.419 world come from or 00:21:53.419 --> 00:21:58.280 any any anything that 00:22:00.840 --> 00:22:04.799 is your particular perspective into this 00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:07.220 question 00:22:09.179 --> 00:22:11.400 so Bonnie last time I noticed 00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:13.500 um you know this word insight and I was 00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:15.419 noticing a lot of people had their eyes 00:22:15.419 --> 00:22:17.520 closed but my body was preferring to 00:22:17.520 --> 00:22:20.520 kind of keep the eyes open and I imagine 00:22:20.520 --> 00:22:23.039 that there's probably maybe even a 00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:25.500 different response like the body 00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:26.940 I'm wondering if you've noticed 00:22:26.940 --> 00:22:29.159 differences in maybe what comes alive 00:22:29.159 --> 00:22:31.919 with eyes open versus eyes closed it's a 00:22:31.919 --> 00:22:33.980 good 00:22:34.080 --> 00:22:36.900 uh a lot of people 00:22:36.900 --> 00:22:37.740 um 00:22:37.740 --> 00:22:41.520 if if it's difficult them to be vigilant 00:22:41.520 --> 00:22:44.159 about the words they they keep their 00:22:44.159 --> 00:22:46.140 eyes closed because they're actually 00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:48.480 watching really carefully 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:51.360 if the words are coming 00:22:51.360 --> 00:22:55.620 um if if that's 00:22:55.620 --> 00:22:57.740 um 00:22:58.620 --> 00:23:01.140 but we also talked about I think Marie 00:23:01.140 --> 00:23:03.240 was outside when she did it last time 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.140 and she noticed that she could 00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:10.260 interested in a bird let's say again 00:23:10.260 --> 00:23:13.080 this is the this is not 00:23:13.080 --> 00:23:14.159 um 00:23:14.159 --> 00:23:16.559 necessarily just random 00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:19.380 the body will look at different things 00:23:19.380 --> 00:23:22.440 and it's part of it 00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:25.500 red it's looking at Red I don't have any 00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:29.100 words but it's settled there around this 00:23:29.100 --> 00:23:32.760 question and then it'll move on and so 00:23:32.760 --> 00:23:36.120 there is a certain way of keeping your 00:23:36.120 --> 00:23:39.480 eyes open and noticing 00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:42.600 it may be a sound all of a sudden that 00:23:42.600 --> 00:23:45.179 your folk that the body focuses on and 00:23:45.179 --> 00:23:50.120 then it might move to the breeze 00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:53.940 these are 00:23:53.940 --> 00:23:56.700 the way the these are not we can talk 00:23:56.700 --> 00:23:58.500 about it later about 00:23:58.500 --> 00:24:00.600 how I learned this in shinsen Young's 00:24:00.600 --> 00:24:02.820 retreat but these are not 00:24:02.820 --> 00:24:06.140 uh random 00:24:06.600 --> 00:24:10.400 the body is is 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:14.659 taking things from the world 00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:20.960 it's it's like when we saw 00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:25.500 um Cheryl gets got completely absorbed 00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:27.179 in the Taurus 00:24:27.179 --> 00:24:33.679 why why why and so you get these little 00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:38.460 things that are in the world that are 00:24:38.460 --> 00:24:40.559 part of the answer the truth is 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:42.960 everything in the world is part of the 00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:46.820 answer because the question is so big 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.860 and so when your eyes are open you might 00:24:49.860 --> 00:24:52.700 find yourself 00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:55.860 moving from different mode of perception 00:24:55.860 --> 00:24:58.200 to other modes of perception 00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:01.080 and if you're an advanced practitioner 00:25:01.080 --> 00:25:03.480 you find that that has a pattern it's 00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:09.600 not random it's an Insight pattern uh so 00:25:09.600 --> 00:25:10.679 um 00:25:10.679 --> 00:25:12.840 yeah did that answer your question 00:25:12.840 --> 00:25:16.500 but a lot of times if you're doing that 00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:19.679 you'll find oh I've been making a whole 00:25:19.679 --> 00:25:22.860 sentence in my head uh so maybe I need 00:25:22.860 --> 00:25:26.179 to be more Vigilant about uh 00:25:26.179 --> 00:25:31.020 watching watching my my thought stream 00:25:31.020 --> 00:25:33.059 start 00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:35.400 um so it goes back and forth there's no 00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:37.799 right or wrong we're all practicing at 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:40.799 this at this point okay so what we do is 00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:45.260 we unmute and I'm going to mute 00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:46.880 um 00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:48.779 and 00:25:48.779 --> 00:25:52.500 um you don't have to speak your words 00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:54.900 loudly but you have to speak them or 00:25:54.900 --> 00:25:58.740 else they just say words in your head 00:25:58.740 --> 00:26:00.600 um and 00:26:00.600 --> 00:26:04.380 um we're going to do this for 00:26:04.380 --> 00:26:05.640 um 00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.580 we did it for 45 minutes last time and 00:26:08.580 --> 00:26:10.740 let's do it for 45 minutes this time 00:26:10.740 --> 00:26:13.260 some people thought it was too short 00:26:13.260 --> 00:26:18.779 um it does get can be can be hard uh for 00:26:18.779 --> 00:26:20.400 for new people we'll do it for 45 00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:22.740 minutes and let me say this there is 00:26:22.740 --> 00:26:25.260 times when people laugh things get funny 00:26:25.260 --> 00:26:27.600 the energy shifts a little 00:26:27.600 --> 00:26:30.960 um and we just try try to 00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:33.600 um reconnect with the question when that 00:26:33.600 --> 00:26:35.940 happens because the collective itself 00:26:35.940 --> 00:26:38.940 sometimes needs like 00:26:38.940 --> 00:26:41.279 to take take a little break 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:46.520 um so all of these things are fine 00:26:47.100 --> 00:26:50.039 okay just do the instruction you don't 00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:52.260 have to then go meta and try to figure 00:26:52.260 --> 00:26:53.880 out what's happening in the collective 00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:55.799 yet I will 00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:58.860 um reflect some of that back to you 00:26:58.860 --> 00:26:59.700 um 00:26:59.700 --> 00:27:04.020 I'll be the I'll be

01:15:27.060 --> 01:15:28.980 and then 01:15:28.980 --> 01:15:32.780 and then weep 01:15:33.780 --> 01:15:37.739 and yawn and weep 01:15:37.739 --> 01:15:41.600 but it wasn't like I wanted to leave 01:15:41.600 --> 01:15:43.560 somehow 01:15:43.560 --> 01:15:45.480 just 01:15:45.480 --> 01:15:47.219 hearing 01:15:47.219 --> 01:15:50.300 your voices 01:15:52.440 --> 01:15:56.420 like all I needed 01:15:56.699 --> 01:15:59.159 and somehow 01:15:59.159 --> 01:16:01.440 at the same time the 01:16:01.440 --> 01:16:05.040 the pain of that 01:16:05.040 --> 01:16:08.000 that it's 01:16:15.500 --> 01:16:18.179 that it could happen 01:16:18.179 --> 01:16:20.520 you know 01:16:20.520 --> 01:16:24.080 and yet we're so 01:16:27.719 --> 01:16:29.159 so 01:16:29.159 --> 01:16:31.080 exiled 01:16:31.080 --> 01:16:34.560 from this capacity 01:16:34.560 --> 01:16:36.800 foreign 01:16:41.360 --> 01:16:44.780 massive Greek 01:16:45.980 --> 01:16:52.040 and yet I I didn't feel alone with it 01:16:52.920 --> 01:16:56.900 that even made me cry more 01:16:58.320 --> 01:17:00.120 there it is 01:17:00.120 --> 01:17:02.040 wow 01:17:02.040 --> 01:17:05.340 the non-duality of the tears of joy and 01:17:05.340 --> 01:17:07.199 the tears of grief 01:17:07.199 --> 01:17:12.420 yeah they both are salt water and 01:17:12.780 --> 01:17:14.760 I guess this is 01:17:14.760 --> 01:17:19.340 you know statistically but 01:17:20.520 --> 01:17:21.360 um 01:17:21.360 --> 01:17:24.540 I can I can see the faces when I hear 01:17:24.540 --> 01:17:26.219 the voices 01:17:26.219 --> 01:17:28.020 of most of you 01:17:28.020 --> 01:17:31.699 I won't say everyone but 01:17:33.480 --> 01:17:36.320 and uh 01:17:39.000 --> 01:17:40.980 this 01:17:40.980 --> 01:17:43.320 is thinking 01:17:43.320 --> 01:17:45.060 you know 01:17:45.060 --> 01:17:48.060 if 01:17:49.320 --> 01:17:52.080 one of you died 01:17:52.080 --> 01:17:55.140 you know what could I do 01:17:55.140 --> 01:17:56.400 you know 01:17:56.400 --> 01:17:59.780 in the this distance 01:18:01.739 --> 01:18:04.800 and yet I wouldn't want that 01:18:04.800 --> 01:18:07.880 to keep me from 01:18:09.360 --> 01:18:15.199 not having met you or worked with you 01:18:16.620 --> 01:18:19.460 okay 01:18:19.500 --> 01:18:21.600 now I'm probably gonna start laughing 01:18:21.600 --> 01:18:26.159 because this is outrageous 01:18:27.780 --> 01:18:30.120 inside you know 01:18:30.120 --> 01:18:32.719 you know what 01:18:32.940 --> 01:18:35.100 look right then 01:18:35.100 --> 01:18:37.219 um 01:18:37.380 --> 01:18:40.460 what do they do 01:18:42.600 --> 01:18:44.100 oh 01:18:44.100 --> 01:18:46.739 seriously Bonita 01:18:46.739 --> 01:18:48.860 um 01:18:50.699 --> 01:18:53.400 all this work you've been doing all 01:18:53.400 --> 01:18:55.679 these years 01:18:55.679 --> 01:18:58.199 and you know I'm on this other parallel 01:18:58.199 --> 01:19:00.600 thing with the conviviality and all the 01:19:00.600 --> 01:19:01.860 reading 01:19:01.860 --> 01:19:08.219 that you've put on our convivial table 01:19:08.219 --> 01:19:11.820 so this is all intense okay 01:19:11.820 --> 01:19:13.320 but 01:19:13.320 --> 01:19:17.460 I wouldn't trade it for nothing so thank 01:19:17.460 --> 01:19:19.020 you 01:19:19.020 --> 01:19:24.500 for all this preparation that you do 01:19:27.360 --> 01:19:30.490 [Music] 01:19:32.159 --> 01:19:34.820 enough 01:19:37.980 --> 01:19:40.800 let me share us about the experience it 01:19:40.800 --> 01:19:44.120 was a little different this time 01:19:47.880 --> 01:19:50.580 I want to say better but 01:19:50.580 --> 01:19:53.179 uh 01:20:12.360 --> 01:20:14.699 my body feels like it's a fuse or a 01:20:14.699 --> 01:20:16.980 circuit right now that was just uh 01:20:16.980 --> 01:20:18.840 getting a lot of current for a while 01:20:18.840 --> 01:20:22.440 it's like needing to cool down 01:20:22.440 --> 01:20:23.460 um 01:20:23.460 --> 01:20:25.380 the one thing if I were to try to 01:20:25.380 --> 01:20:27.420 describe that it was it felt like being 01:20:27.420 --> 01:20:29.760 on a spiral current that was cycling 01:20:29.760 --> 01:20:33.300 around common phonemes and there would 01:20:33.300 --> 01:20:36.659 be these phonic Roots uh that would 01:20:36.659 --> 01:20:39.900 recur almost it almost felt cyclical and 01:20:39.900 --> 01:20:41.640 I could feel the way that the words that 01:20:41.640 --> 01:20:43.040 were coming through were like 01:20:43.040 --> 01:20:46.260 modulations of these seed syllables 01:20:46.260 --> 01:20:49.800 almost but then certain forms would take 01:20:49.800 --> 01:20:51.239 whole like certain particular words 01:20:51.239 --> 01:20:53.040 would take hold multiple times for me 01:20:53.040 --> 01:20:55.140 and I noticed they'd come out multiple 01:20:55.140 --> 01:20:56.159 times 01:20:56.159 --> 01:20:57.900 I could also notice where the where the 01:20:57.900 --> 01:20:58.800 mines 01:20:58.800 --> 01:21:00.480 the mind is kind of registering what's 01:21:00.480 --> 01:21:01.920 being said and even the part that's like 01:21:01.920 --> 01:21:03.540 oh like maybe I'll say that or I could 01:21:03.540 --> 01:21:05.280 Riff on that you know and just kind of 01:21:05.280 --> 01:21:08.100 letting that be there but really trying 01:21:08.100 --> 01:21:09.620 to like 01:21:09.620 --> 01:21:12.659 feel the where the body's speaking in a 01:21:12.659 --> 01:21:14.520 kind of un unprethought 01:21:14.520 --> 01:21:15.360 um 01:21:15.360 --> 01:21:17.640 way yeah 01:21:17.640 --> 01:21:19.679 so if you see the difference when you're 01:21:19.679 --> 01:21:22.080 caught up in the trigger of conversation 01:21:22.080 --> 01:21:24.600 or proto-conversation 01:21:24.600 --> 01:21:27.179 so you're trying to riff off of what 01:21:27.179 --> 01:21:28.800 just happened there's a different 01:21:28.800 --> 01:21:32.699 biomarker between that and when actually 01:21:32.699 --> 01:21:35.520 for some reason the body serves up 01:21:35.520 --> 01:21:37.560 something 01:21:37.560 --> 01:21:40.980 um yeah so noticing 01:21:40.980 --> 01:21:44.100 the veil to detect the differences isn't 01:21:44.100 --> 01:21:46.199 is important 01:21:46.199 --> 01:21:50.840 um it was much more less 01:21:52.380 --> 01:21:54.440 um 01:21:54.780 --> 01:21:57.719 what there was a lot less pinging today 01:21:57.719 --> 01:22:00.300 than there was the first time there was 01:22:00.300 --> 01:22:01.980 more you could tell people were just 01:22:01.980 --> 01:22:05.400 releasing what they had versus ah I hear 01:22:05.400 --> 01:22:08.640 that and then and that happens sometimes 01:22:08.640 --> 01:22:12.179 um and that was something that I noticed 01:22:12.179 --> 01:22:14.400 as a collective and you can also notice 01:22:14.400 --> 01:22:18.300 in yourself whether you're pinging or 01:22:18.300 --> 01:22:21.600 what whatever's coming up is whatever is 01:22:21.600 --> 01:22:24.800 coming up for whatever reason 01:22:26.940 --> 01:22:30.360 yeah I noticed that as well the 01:22:30.360 --> 01:22:33.420 yeah it was like less of the bouncing 01:22:33.420 --> 01:22:37.880 off of us but there was a point when um 01:22:38.219 --> 01:22:40.260 yeah that was kind of just like a few 01:22:40.260 --> 01:22:42.000 moments where 01:22:42.000 --> 01:22:44.280 because I I was about to say something 01:22:44.280 --> 01:22:47.400 and then it got said and that happened a 01:22:47.400 --> 01:22:48.900 few times and then I started thinking 01:22:48.900 --> 01:22:50.340 about it too much and they kind of fell 01:22:50.340 --> 01:22:52.739 out of it 01:22:52.739 --> 01:22:53.880 um 01:22:53.880 --> 01:22:55.560 yeah and then there was a point actually 01:22:55.560 --> 01:22:58.140 I just I yeah I just felt like actually 01:22:58.140 --> 01:23:00.239 I needed to leave her a bit and so I did 01:23:00.239 --> 01:23:02.219 and then I wasn't sure if I was going to 01:23:02.219 --> 01:23:04.260 come back in 01:23:04.260 --> 01:23:07.560 and kind of just sat for a while 01:23:07.560 --> 01:23:11.000 um but then yeah okay all right 01:23:11.000 --> 01:23:13.920 so that's a problem sometimes you end up 01:23:13.920 --> 01:23:17.159 getting sucked into an Insight that is 01:23:17.159 --> 01:23:20.100 yours and you can't play this game 01:23:20.100 --> 01:23:22.620 anymore and you just whether you're 01:23:22.620 --> 01:23:25.560 it's got you right it's because at first 01:23:25.560 --> 01:23:27.659 all the insights are not just Collective 01:23:27.659 --> 01:23:31.219 at first they're actually 01:23:32.460 --> 01:23:34.440 they they unfold from the collective 01:23:34.440 --> 01:23:36.060 experience but sometimes you just get 01:23:36.060 --> 01:23:38.280 gra you get grabbed by an Insight like 01:23:38.280 --> 01:23:39.719 you're like 01:23:39.719 --> 01:23:42.480 um so that's I I would say 01:23:42.480 --> 01:23:44.540 um 01:23:44.640 --> 01:23:46.800 is the right the right quote-unquote 01:23:46.800 --> 01:23:49.140 thing to do when you just have to like 01:23:49.140 --> 01:23:52.380 stare at your own insight for a while 01:23:52.380 --> 01:23:55.500 um uh 01:23:57.179 --> 01:23:59.040 I was gonna say something else but I 01:23:59.040 --> 01:24:02.400 don't remember so 01:24:03.300 --> 01:24:07.340 I can share Bonnie um 01:24:08.159 --> 01:24:10.620 I noticed a difference personally 01:24:10.620 --> 01:24:12.840 between the first time I did it in this 01:24:12.840 --> 01:24:15.420 large group and this time 01:24:15.420 --> 01:24:19.500 first time I was really rebellious about 01:24:19.500 --> 01:24:22.560 the notion that words didn't matter 01:24:22.560 --> 01:24:25.440 I had a lot of 01:24:25.440 --> 01:24:27.179 um 01:24:27.179 --> 01:24:31.739 fight going on with that instruction 01:24:31.739 --> 01:24:34.620 and this time 01:24:34.620 --> 01:24:38.460 there was an equal amount of energetic 01:24:38.460 --> 01:24:40.320 tension I had 01:24:40.320 --> 01:24:43.860 and it was different in that I was 01:24:43.860 --> 01:24:46.679 tense about finding something that's 01:24:46.679 --> 01:24:49.739 abstract that's not there 01:24:49.739 --> 01:24:53.280 so I kept it was this visit I mean my 01:24:53.280 --> 01:24:56.400 shoulders my neck 01:24:56.400 --> 01:24:59.600 in that search 01:25:01.020 --> 01:25:03.300 yeah so that yeah that was your portal 01:25:03.300 --> 01:25:05.820 today I mean 01:25:05.820 --> 01:25:08.100 um let me say this I 01:25:08.100 --> 01:25:10.260 and later phases the words will matter 01:25:10.260 --> 01:25:13.140 because we'll get very precise at this 01:25:13.140 --> 01:25:13.920 phase 01:25:13.920 --> 01:25:15.960 because we don't want to clamp down so 01:25:15.960 --> 01:25:19.320 fast right but actually you know the 01:25:19.320 --> 01:25:22.440 energy for that frustration is also some 01:25:22.440 --> 01:25:25.679 of the energy the body uses so so that's 01:25:25.679 --> 01:25:28.679 okay too did anyone like what was 01:25:28.679 --> 01:25:32.400 happening to me I I also had like some 01:25:32.400 --> 01:25:34.620 insights but like there's a point at 01:25:34.620 --> 01:25:36.600 which in some of you may have been doing 01:25:36.600 --> 01:25:39.440 this um 01:25:39.440 --> 01:25:43.800 where you're relaxed and these words are 01:25:43.800 --> 01:25:46.520 coming in and you're actually 01:25:46.520 --> 01:25:50.040 experiencing them as 01:25:50.040 --> 01:25:52.320 that words are come your words are 01:25:52.320 --> 01:25:54.120 coming into your head but they're not 01:25:54.120 --> 01:25:55.739 your words they're what everybody else 01:25:55.739 --> 01:25:59.340 is saying like you can receive them just 01:25:59.340 --> 01:26:02.340 like you're receiving your own words all 01:26:02.340 --> 01:26:04.139 right here comes a word 01:26:04.139 --> 01:26:06.960 uh you can completely relax your mind 01:26:06.960 --> 01:26:09.900 and then these words come into your head 01:26:09.900 --> 01:26:12.960 but the interesting thing is is it's not 01:26:12.960 --> 01:26:14.699 your pattern 01:26:14.699 --> 01:26:16.980 because they're coming in from all 01:26:16.980 --> 01:26:20.219 disparate the collective pattern and as 01:26:20.219 --> 01:26:22.199 they come in and 01:26:22.199 --> 01:26:24.120 it's like you think that's your head 01:26:24.120 --> 01:26:27.120 doing that then it's changing it's 01:26:27.120 --> 01:26:29.820 rearranging your yourself in a certain 01:26:29.820 --> 01:26:32.040 way 01:26:32.040 --> 01:26:34.679 um and so you you can go in and out of 01:26:34.679 --> 01:26:38.219 like realizing you've just been 01:26:38.219 --> 01:26:40.860 witnessing these words in your head as 01:26:40.860 --> 01:26:42.659 if there were words that were coming 01:26:42.659 --> 01:26:46.880 into your head from your experience 01:26:48.120 --> 01:26:50.520 did anyone have that feeling like in 01:26:50.520 --> 01:26:53.300 certain phases 01:26:55.440 --> 01:26:58.739 I most certainly did 01:26:58.739 --> 01:27:01.380 yeah because it happens when your words 01:27:01.380 --> 01:27:04.020 stop and then you realize 01:27:04.020 --> 01:27:06.420 why should I generate words here's a 01:27:06.420 --> 01:27:08.520 whole group doing 01:27:08.520 --> 01:27:10.460 a multiple 01:27:10.460 --> 01:27:12.780 diversity of 01:27:12.780 --> 01:27:15.120 word generation what's that all about 01:27:15.120 --> 01:27:18.139 that's interesting 01:27:20.159 --> 01:27:24.620 yeah but it was painful too 01:27:25.199 --> 01:27:27.800 and 01:27:28.020 --> 01:27:31.739 I don't ascribe any negativity to that 01:27:31.739 --> 01:27:33.980 pain 01:27:38.159 --> 01:27:39.719 or 01:27:39.719 --> 01:27:43.080 maybe what occurs to me to say is almost 01:27:43.080 --> 01:27:45.000 like 01:27:45.000 --> 01:27:46.880 you know 01:27:46.880 --> 01:27:50.159 listening to the dark matter you know 01:27:50.159 --> 01:27:53.159 somehow 01:27:57.300 --> 01:28:00.179 Susan did you want to say something at 01:28:00.179 --> 01:28:03.659 one point it was too many words coming 01:28:03.659 --> 01:28:04.860 in 01:28:04.860 --> 01:28:07.020 I just was 01:28:07.020 --> 01:28:10.739 I I don't know what I did or but it just 01:28:10.739 --> 01:28:13.620 felt so many words coming in 01:28:13.620 --> 01:28:16.739 and I probably I wasn't speaking 01:28:16.739 --> 01:28:17.940 then 01:28:17.940 --> 01:28:21.000 no I wasn't like I didn't have words 01:28:21.000 --> 01:28:23.219 coming but words coming in from 01:28:23.219 --> 01:28:24.780 everywhere 01:28:24.780 --> 01:28:27.780 and it felt yeah it did it felt too much 01:28:27.780 --> 01:28:30.420 I mean from what other people were 01:28:30.420 --> 01:28:33.540 speaking or inside your oh yeah no no no 01:28:33.540 --> 01:28:36.900 no no inside me from All Wood I was 01:28:36.900 --> 01:28:40.739 hearing like too much coming in and yeah 01:28:40.739 --> 01:28:42.540 you should yeah you should have tried to 01:28:42.540 --> 01:28:44.460 speak them 01:28:44.460 --> 01:28:46.620 speak the words that were coming in from 01:28:46.620 --> 01:28:49.620 others oh no no no okay so they were 01:28:49.620 --> 01:28:53.040 coming from others and it was too much 01:28:53.040 --> 01:28:56.760 yeah yeah okay yeah because you get 01:28:56.760 --> 01:28:58.560 trained in your mind 01:28:58.560 --> 01:29:00.239 it was 01:29:00.239 --> 01:29:03.360 yeah I I understand why yeah okay 01:29:03.360 --> 01:29:05.400 no you don't have you don't speak the 01:29:05.400 --> 01:29:08.580 words that come in from others but yeah 01:29:08.580 --> 01:29:09.260 yeah 01:29:09.260 --> 01:29:12.540 the other thing as well that is 01:29:12.540 --> 01:29:14.820 happening still happening 01:29:14.820 --> 01:29:16.679 is 01:29:16.679 --> 01:29:19.620 I'm not quite sure where I am I I don't 01:29:19.620 --> 01:29:21.840 mean that in a silly way like of course 01:29:21.840 --> 01:29:24.480 I know where I am but I don't 01:29:24.480 --> 01:29:27.719 really know where I am 01:29:27.719 --> 01:29:30.659 okay so two two big things here one is 01:29:30.659 --> 01:29:32.460 when the words were too much it's 01:29:32.460 --> 01:29:34.739 probably the same reason why JJ had to 01:29:34.739 --> 01:29:36.900 leave like you're you're caught in your 01:29:36.900 --> 01:29:37.980 own 01:29:37.980 --> 01:29:40.980 vortex 01:29:41.760 --> 01:29:45.000 and the words are distracting I mean so 01:29:45.000 --> 01:29:47.159 so that 01:29:47.159 --> 01:29:48.540 is 01:29:48.540 --> 01:29:52.920 often you know you have permission 01:29:52.920 --> 01:29:54.800 to to to 01:29:54.800 --> 01:29:57.659 the vortex is coming up and it's not 01:29:57.659 --> 01:29:58.739 words 01:29:58.739 --> 01:30:00.840 and the words are taken away from the 01:30:00.840 --> 01:30:04.920 vortex then oftentimes we we get up and 01:30:04.920 --> 01:30:07.560 we we sit with that ourselves 01:30:07.560 --> 01:30:09.719 because it's still the experience came 01:30:09.719 --> 01:30:12.300 from the collective but you found your 01:30:12.300 --> 01:30:14.460 right now this is your role to do or 01:30:14.460 --> 01:30:15.780 something 01:30:15.780 --> 01:30:18.420 the the worm is in you or something like 01:30:18.420 --> 01:30:20.280 that I say 01:30:20.280 --> 01:30:24.120 um and I had this very big insight 01:30:24.120 --> 01:30:27.719 that I don't and maybe this is what was 01:30:27.719 --> 01:30:29.940 it was and it was 01:30:29.940 --> 01:30:32.460 it's like a worm in you 01:30:32.460 --> 01:30:35.159 um I was thinking about the you know I 01:30:35.159 --> 01:30:37.679 was listening to words and just letting 01:30:37.679 --> 01:30:40.560 them populate my head without 01:30:40.560 --> 01:30:43.860 thinking about them or even relating to 01:30:43.860 --> 01:30:46.560 them as words and thinking about the 01:30:46.560 --> 01:30:49.940 problem and then I thought 01:30:50.280 --> 01:30:52.080 at first I just got locked into 01:30:52.080 --> 01:30:54.900 something and I wrote don't even know 01:30:54.900 --> 01:30:56.340 where we are 01:30:56.340 --> 01:30:58.320 and all of a sudden it occurred to me 01:30:58.320 --> 01:31:02.340 like how could you tell an origin story 01:31:02.340 --> 01:31:04.320 because we don't even know where we are 01:31:04.320 --> 01:31:07.219 in the first place 01:31:07.739 --> 01:31:11.659 ah and that was like 01:31:19.320 --> 01:31:22.940 yeah it was a big insight 01:31:26.100 --> 01:31:28.320 so this is part of the you know we're 01:31:28.320 --> 01:31:30.960 looking for epistemic constraints and 01:31:30.960 --> 01:31:33.600 one of the epistemic constraints is that 01:31:33.600 --> 01:31:36.360 we think we know where we are 01:31:36.360 --> 01:31:38.600 foreign 01:31:41.600 --> 01:31:45.380 which is just ridiculous 01:31:51.020 --> 01:31:54.440 write the book 01:31:55.080 --> 01:31:58.440 again Shaggy you have to what 01:31:58.440 --> 01:32:00.239 yeah one of the chapters is the 01:32:00.239 --> 01:32:04.199 origins stories 01:32:04.320 --> 01:32:06.120 what 01:32:06.120 --> 01:32:07.980 my book's gonna have these like really 01:32:07.980 --> 01:32:10.560 big titles and then just these down 01:32:10.560 --> 01:32:12.840 Debbie downers well we can't tell the 01:32:12.840 --> 01:32:14.520 origin story because we don't even know 01:32:14.520 --> 01:32:15.900 where we are 01:32:15.900 --> 01:32:19.880 then let's go into the next chapter 01:32:21.659 --> 01:32:24.659 but it's true it's it's a completely 01:32:24.659 --> 01:32:27.179 valid perspective 01:32:27.179 --> 01:32:31.020 100 dollars 01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:35.880 how does that make you feel 01:32:35.880 --> 01:32:37.020 well 01:32:37.020 --> 01:32:41.040 I'm still feeling like it's quite 01:32:41.040 --> 01:32:44.340 a new thing like it's like I don't 01:32:44.340 --> 01:32:47.460 like as soon as we've gone that was like 01:32:47.460 --> 01:32:50.820 where am I I don't know where I am I it 01:32:50.820 --> 01:32:52.199 was very interesting it's very 01:32:52.199 --> 01:32:54.420 interesting it's a great Freedom there's 01:32:54.420 --> 01:32:56.940 a freedom with that 01:32:56.940 --> 01:33:01.320 um yeah and this it's it's also oh I 01:33:01.320 --> 01:33:02.820 don't know 01:33:02.820 --> 01:33:04.980 when you first asked that question we 01:33:04.980 --> 01:33:08.340 were talking before we got we went into 01:33:08.340 --> 01:33:09.659 this 01:33:09.659 --> 01:33:12.420 um the question how did you get here 01:33:12.420 --> 01:33:14.540 my immediate 01:33:14.540 --> 01:33:17.460 concern and my immediate thinking was 01:33:17.460 --> 01:33:20.580 well I already have sort of an answer to 01:33:20.580 --> 01:33:23.219 that I already can if I was in a 01:33:23.219 --> 01:33:25.199 conversation with someone and they'd 01:33:25.199 --> 01:33:27.780 asked me that not here but I could say 01:33:27.780 --> 01:33:28.739 something 01:33:28.739 --> 01:33:31.860 that um I would be comfortable with and 01:33:31.860 --> 01:33:34.560 then I'll then I thought well I hope I'm 01:33:34.560 --> 01:33:36.239 not going to do that when I'm doing this 01:33:36.239 --> 01:33:38.520 I want something else I'm this isn't 01:33:38.520 --> 01:33:41.820 enough but and that was also 01:33:41.820 --> 01:33:44.639 um sort of like an intent going in is 01:33:44.639 --> 01:33:48.360 not to totally allow what I would say in 01:33:48.360 --> 01:33:50.400 a conversation about that 01:33:50.400 --> 01:33:52.739 and that was really interesting because 01:33:52.739 --> 01:33:55.520 sometimes 01:33:56.040 --> 01:33:58.679 what would a words 01:33:58.679 --> 01:34:01.500 I would see that they belong to how I 01:34:01.500 --> 01:34:03.780 would talk with someone if they ask the 01:34:03.780 --> 01:34:05.880 question then I would see beyond that 01:34:05.880 --> 01:34:07.260 and 01:34:07.260 --> 01:34:09.540 there was more there that 01:34:09.540 --> 01:34:12.840 really it was still okay it was good it 01:34:12.840 --> 01:34:14.100 was like yeah 01:34:14.100 --> 01:34:17.340 I get that that's not just what I would 01:34:17.340 --> 01:34:18.679 say 01:34:18.679 --> 01:34:20.880 I don't know what I'm talking about 01:34:20.880 --> 01:34:24.679 really I don't know what I'm saying 01:34:31.260 --> 01:34:33.480 yeah I can share 01:34:33.480 --> 01:34:35.040 um 01:34:35.040 --> 01:34:36.900 I think you said something Bonnie about 01:34:36.900 --> 01:34:39.480 like an unfamiliar pattern and that that 01:34:39.480 --> 01:34:40.380 was 01:34:40.380 --> 01:34:43.199 um or that's what I'm remembering now 01:34:43.199 --> 01:34:45.060 um and that was my experience it felt 01:34:45.060 --> 01:34:46.920 deeply unfamiliar the things I was 01:34:46.920 --> 01:34:48.719 saying 01:34:48.719 --> 01:34:50.699 um it just felt extremely unfamiliar 01:34:50.699 --> 01:34:54.480 very novel so that's just interesting 01:34:54.480 --> 01:34:56.280 um 01:34:56.280 --> 01:34:57.900 [Music] 01:34:57.900 --> 01:35:00.960 and I had the sense while doing it of of 01:35:00.960 --> 01:35:03.179 it being like a very kind of rigorous 01:35:03.179 --> 01:35:04.739 discipline 01:35:04.739 --> 01:35:07.679 it felt very rigorous sort of like every 01:35:07.679 --> 01:35:10.500 you know okay you know like back to the 01:35:10.500 --> 01:35:12.000 instruction you know just kind of like 01:35:12.000 --> 01:35:14.280 pulled to that sort of like rigorous and 01:35:14.280 --> 01:35:17.400 like formless at the same time and one 01:35:17.400 --> 01:35:19.320 perception that I had that was kind of 01:35:19.320 --> 01:35:21.000 interesting was like a couple of times 01:35:21.000 --> 01:35:23.840 like it's like feeling the 01:35:23.840 --> 01:35:27.300 texture or the spatial dimensions of the 01:35:27.300 --> 01:35:30.360 group or of the space really shift like 01:35:30.360 --> 01:35:33.060 a new color or a new scent or a new 01:35:33.060 --> 01:35:34.440 Breeze or something that's like almost 01:35:34.440 --> 01:35:37.260 like a big ship turning or something 01:35:37.260 --> 01:35:39.300 um yeah like the texture and dimensions 01:35:39.300 --> 01:35:40.980 of what was happening my perception of 01:35:40.980 --> 01:35:43.500 it changed changed quite a bit and it 01:35:43.500 --> 01:35:45.120 felt like something different was 01:35:45.120 --> 01:35:46.800 opening up a different Rhythm or a 01:35:46.800 --> 01:35:48.719 different texture was opening up 01:35:48.719 --> 01:35:54.060 so that was yeah my senses of it yeah it 01:35:54.060 --> 01:35:56.460 feels bad yeah at this stage it's highly 01:35:56.460 --> 01:35:58.800 stylized right we call these are highly 01:35:58.800 --> 01:36:00.780 stylized practices because we're trying 01:36:00.780 --> 01:36:05.820 to uh change our habits really fast 01:36:05.820 --> 01:36:09.360 um and then later on it's you know 01:36:09.360 --> 01:36:10.320 um 01:36:10.320 --> 01:36:11.520 as 01:36:11.520 --> 01:36:13.139 some people have already done they've 01:36:13.139 --> 01:36:15.420 had to go and think of their own you 01:36:15.420 --> 01:36:16.860 know these things 01:36:16.860 --> 01:36:18.540 are 01:36:18.540 --> 01:36:23.760 much more flexible than than yeah but 01:36:23.760 --> 01:36:27.360 you know if you if you start with the 01:36:27.360 --> 01:36:29.580 highly stylized version you you make 01:36:29.580 --> 01:36:32.900 more progress faster 01:36:40.580 --> 01:36:44.480 uh I can share something 01:36:45.060 --> 01:36:47.880 um so a few things 01:36:47.880 --> 01:36:51.179 I would I would notice I would get like 01:36:51.179 --> 01:36:54.120 like a scene or something or just like 01:36:54.120 --> 01:36:57.179 like a cluster of words 01:36:57.179 --> 01:36:59.340 and 01:36:59.340 --> 01:37:01.080 and it it felt like they were coming up 01:37:01.080 --> 01:37:02.760 too quickly to like you know name them 01:37:02.760 --> 01:37:04.560 all at once 01:37:04.560 --> 01:37:05.940 um but like when I would I would go in 01:37:05.940 --> 01:37:08.100 and then I'd kind of you know have these 01:37:08.100 --> 01:37:10.440 either emotions or memories or some 01:37:10.440 --> 01:37:13.260 Sensations coming up 01:37:13.260 --> 01:37:14.820 and then sometimes you know there'd be 01:37:14.820 --> 01:37:15.900 like a scene and it'd have like a 01:37:15.900 --> 01:37:17.219 cluster of three or four words or 01:37:17.219 --> 01:37:18.540 something or someone would say something 01:37:18.540 --> 01:37:20.639 and there'd be like a kind of you know 01:37:20.639 --> 01:37:24.179 like a cluster or like a compression of 01:37:24.179 --> 01:37:27.840 uh words or concepts or something 01:37:27.840 --> 01:37:29.100 um 01:37:29.100 --> 01:37:31.440 and one thing I noticed was I was trying 01:37:31.440 --> 01:37:34.380 to like okay 01:37:34.380 --> 01:37:36.120 like what is 01:37:36.120 --> 01:37:38.940 what is this threshold where it's enough 01:37:38.940 --> 01:37:40.800 for me to want to say it and part of it 01:37:40.800 --> 01:37:43.620 is like having to make my mouth move 01:37:43.620 --> 01:37:45.840 um so I noticed I would like sometimes I 01:37:45.840 --> 01:37:47.760 just said like orange a few times 01:37:47.760 --> 01:37:48.960 because it feels like it's really easy 01:37:48.960 --> 01:37:50.639 to say oh just like 01:37:50.639 --> 01:37:52.260 versus like 01:37:52.260 --> 01:37:54.300 subliminal like where you have to 01:37:54.300 --> 01:37:56.040 because if you're just like if I'm just 01:37:56.040 --> 01:37:57.420 resting 01:37:57.420 --> 01:38:02.100 it's like to get my mouth to like 01:38:02.100 --> 01:38:05.460 you know do um or uh like I have to put 01:38:05.460 --> 01:38:07.199 my lips together versus if I'm just like 01:38:07.199 --> 01:38:10.500 orange it just kind of comes out 01:38:10.500 --> 01:38:11.699 um 01:38:11.699 --> 01:38:14.100 so I felt like there was 01:38:14.100 --> 01:38:16.139 when I was in the resting state you know 01:38:16.139 --> 01:38:18.120 some words would have would be easier to 01:38:18.120 --> 01:38:20.699 come out than others 01:38:20.699 --> 01:38:22.380 um 01:38:22.380 --> 01:38:24.780 and then also regarding the the 01:38:24.780 --> 01:38:28.560 ping-ponging I noticed sometimes I would 01:38:28.560 --> 01:38:30.600 like like I said I you know I was kind 01:38:30.600 --> 01:38:33.300 of trying to feel into my body my source 01:38:33.300 --> 01:38:35.100 or whatever and it's almost like there 01:38:35.100 --> 01:38:37.380 was like a substrate of 01:38:37.380 --> 01:38:39.600 things or experiences or feelings that 01:38:39.600 --> 01:38:42.179 would like be ready for me to say and 01:38:42.179 --> 01:38:44.040 then someone would say something 01:38:44.040 --> 01:38:45.120 like 01:38:45.120 --> 01:38:46.560 you know someone said Rocky and I said 01:38:46.560 --> 01:38:50.100 Balboa which sounds kind of stupid 01:38:50.100 --> 01:38:50.820 um 01:38:50.820 --> 01:38:52.500 but it wasn't just like a pop culture of 01:38:52.500 --> 01:38:54.300 reference so like reminded me of someone 01:38:54.300 --> 01:38:56.699 and like but I couldn't like make those 01:38:56.699 --> 01:38:59.040 associations until after the fact 01:38:59.040 --> 01:39:00.900 like it's like there's an association 01:39:00.900 --> 01:39:03.120 made and then I realize it's like 01:39:03.120 --> 01:39:04.739 connected to something 01:39:04.739 --> 01:39:07.020 deeper so it's almost like by going into 01:39:07.020 --> 01:39:09.179 the source there's like a you know 01:39:09.179 --> 01:39:10.620 something that's there's almost like a 01:39:10.620 --> 01:39:12.900 subconscious layer of 01:39:12.900 --> 01:39:15.360 things I'm thinking about that like 01:39:15.360 --> 01:39:17.820 other people might trigger so it's like 01:39:17.820 --> 01:39:19.560 kind of a dance between what people are 01:39:19.560 --> 01:39:21.600 saying and what I'm I'm feeling 01:39:21.600 --> 01:39:23.760 yeah these are all very good uh 01:39:23.760 --> 01:39:26.699 noticings and they're also very common 01:39:26.699 --> 01:39:31.080 and and good strategies for 01:39:31.080 --> 01:39:34.199 not like this notion of threshold I see 01:39:34.199 --> 01:39:36.900 I notice I can feel there's a lot of 01:39:36.900 --> 01:39:39.120 words in my head let me just say orange 01:39:39.120 --> 01:39:42.120 and then I don't have to say all those 01:39:42.120 --> 01:39:44.580 words they didn't go away they're 01:39:44.580 --> 01:39:46.739 somehow still in me 01:39:46.739 --> 01:39:49.860 um and and good for you that you said 01:39:49.860 --> 01:39:52.440 something you know so trying to let 01:39:52.440 --> 01:39:56.340 everything keep sub threshold to Strings 01:39:56.340 --> 01:39:59.100 and strings and strings of words 01:39:59.100 --> 01:40:01.159 um and also exactly what you said about 01:40:01.159 --> 01:40:03.840 Rocky Balboa 01:40:03.840 --> 01:40:06.600 um a lot of people say things but when 01:40:06.600 --> 01:40:09.000 something's brewing in you that's close 01:40:09.000 --> 01:40:11.460 to the taste of a certain word when you 01:40:11.460 --> 01:40:14.699 hear it it that's when you jump and so 01:40:14.699 --> 01:40:17.639 that's what the the jumping 01:40:17.639 --> 01:40:20.520 um is also not random as you're saying 01:40:20.520 --> 01:40:22.920 it it's at it's actually had something 01:40:22.920 --> 01:40:25.800 not like pop culture for you and then 01:40:25.800 --> 01:40:29.239 sometimes we fall into 01:40:29.239 --> 01:40:32.580 more just blah blah blah at the surface 01:40:32.580 --> 01:40:34.739 level so these are really good noticings 01:40:34.739 --> 01:40:36.060 and you're starting to understand 01:40:36.060 --> 01:40:38.219 something about the relationship between 01:40:38.219 --> 01:40:40.800 the body ruminating 01:40:40.800 --> 01:40:43.080 putting up gestalts 01:40:43.080 --> 01:40:47.100 then it becomes threshold to wanting to 01:40:47.100 --> 01:40:49.440 have linguistic signifiers 01:40:49.440 --> 01:40:51.659 and all this whole process is starting 01:40:51.659 --> 01:40:54.480 to slow down and open up space so you 01:40:54.480 --> 01:40:57.540 actually can see them and you can you 01:40:57.540 --> 01:41:00.300 can identify the biomarker of where 01:41:00.300 --> 01:41:03.540 you're at in the process so 01:41:03.540 --> 01:41:06.540 so this is all very good 01:41:06.540 --> 01:41:09.420 um and natural strategies that you're 01:41:09.420 --> 01:41:11.940 thinking of which are also 01:41:11.940 --> 01:41:15.199 um very very good 01:41:16.980 --> 01:41:19.800 you know and you didn't say this but 01:41:19.800 --> 01:41:22.080 something in your body language is a lot 01:41:22.080 --> 01:41:25.260 of times whether it's a word cluster 01:41:25.260 --> 01:41:27.900 or an image and a lot of times at this 01:41:27.900 --> 01:41:30.060 stage not really an image as it's like 01:41:30.060 --> 01:41:32.159 you have this feeling as if there's an 01:41:32.159 --> 01:41:34.860 image but it is not there and if you pay 01:41:34.860 --> 01:41:37.920 attention you can feel that the image is 01:41:37.920 --> 01:41:39.600 in here 01:41:39.600 --> 01:41:42.960 your body's doing something 01:41:42.960 --> 01:41:45.719 thinking down there 01:41:45.719 --> 01:41:50.540 um and your image space 01:41:51.719 --> 01:41:54.239 knows that that usually means you see 01:41:54.239 --> 01:41:56.880 something and then you go off and see 01:41:56.880 --> 01:41:58.860 the table and who's going to be sitting 01:41:58.860 --> 01:42:01.440 there but because we've kept 01:42:01.440 --> 01:42:03.060 all the 01:42:03.060 --> 01:42:05.100 thinking down there 01:42:05.100 --> 01:42:06.540 there's a little bit of a disconnect 01:42:06.540 --> 01:42:09.480 it's like I I feel like that's what it 01:42:09.480 --> 01:42:11.159 feels like when I see an image but 01:42:11.159 --> 01:42:13.679 there's it's not there yet and but if 01:42:13.679 --> 01:42:15.619 you pay attention you can feel it 01:42:15.619 --> 01:42:18.840 usually right like down in here 01:42:18.840 --> 01:42:21.840 uh where your body's thinking so all 01:42:21.840 --> 01:42:24.380 these things are like 01:42:24.380 --> 01:42:27.600 very good signs you know that that you 01:42:27.600 --> 01:42:30.000 didn't just get pop you know a movie 01:42:30.000 --> 01:42:32.040 because that's sometimes what happens 01:42:32.040 --> 01:42:34.560 you silence the words and then you get 01:42:34.560 --> 01:42:37.320 the movie instead this is just another 01:42:37.320 --> 01:42:39.739 version of 01:42:39.739 --> 01:42:42.659 you know not letting the 01:42:42.659 --> 01:42:44.880 not waiting for the body to think it 01:42:44.880 --> 01:42:47.520 through some people get lots of popcorn 01:42:47.520 --> 01:42:49.500 movies 01:42:49.500 --> 01:42:52.460 um but I just want you to notice that 01:42:52.460 --> 01:42:56.159 these kinds of challenges happen a lot 01:42:56.159 --> 01:42:59.219 in meditation but this simple Act of 01:42:59.219 --> 01:43:04.380 agreeing to say uh really helps us uh 01:43:04.380 --> 01:43:07.739 get much further faster 01:43:07.739 --> 01:43:09.300 um 01:43:09.300 --> 01:43:10.560 do you know what I'm saying that 01:43:10.560 --> 01:43:12.000 instruction of yeah 01:43:12.000 --> 01:43:13.139 [Music] 01:43:13.139 --> 01:43:15.360 um it takes advantage of how the the 01:43:15.360 --> 01:43:18.000 system works 01:43:18.000 --> 01:43:20.219 um yeah so good noticing is good 01:43:20.219 --> 01:43:22.320 strategy I mean there's many 01:43:22.320 --> 01:43:25.760 yeah good strategizing 01:43:25.760 --> 01:43:28.260 there are a couple other things that 01:43:28.260 --> 01:43:30.420 kind of nice things that came 01:43:30.420 --> 01:43:33.060 back around as you were speaking uh 01:43:33.060 --> 01:43:34.980 funny 01:43:34.980 --> 01:43:35.880 um 01:43:35.880 --> 01:43:37.500 almost like I don't know it's a few 01:43:37.500 --> 01:43:39.600 times it's like the 01:43:39.600 --> 01:43:42.000 it's like I'd begin with 01:43:42.000 --> 01:43:43.560 one word 01:43:43.560 --> 01:43:45.360 but by the time 01:43:45.360 --> 01:43:48.780 it kind of came around to like I'd kind 01:43:48.780 --> 01:43:50.340 of end with another word like the end of 01:43:50.340 --> 01:43:52.380 another word 01:43:52.380 --> 01:43:53.639 um 01:43:53.639 --> 01:43:55.800 it's like kind of yeah again it just and 01:43:55.800 --> 01:43:57.719 becoming just less yeah less focused on 01:43:57.719 --> 01:43:59.880 the actual kind of yeah what what the 01:43:59.880 --> 01:44:01.860 word is and just like yeah 01:44:01.860 --> 01:44:04.440 and that happened a few times and then 01:44:04.440 --> 01:44:08.280 also sometimes this um yeah they're sort 01:44:08.280 --> 01:44:09.300 of like 01:44:09.300 --> 01:44:11.280 I had my eyes closed for a lot of it too 01:44:11.280 --> 01:44:14.280 I found it a lot uh something about it 01:44:14.280 --> 01:44:15.659 was easier for me 01:44:15.659 --> 01:44:17.460 it's kind of quite distracting 01:44:17.460 --> 01:44:19.739 um some people's faces and things I 01:44:19.739 --> 01:44:21.420 noticed when I when I tried to a few 01:44:21.420 --> 01:44:24.780 times some NZ beat just more noting 01:44:24.780 --> 01:44:25.739 um 01:44:25.739 --> 01:44:28.500 and 01:44:28.500 --> 01:44:31.560 but then like kind of yeah the There Was 01:44:31.560 --> 01:44:33.179 You said let's talk about image space 01:44:33.179 --> 01:44:34.739 there was like something visual 01:44:34.739 --> 01:44:37.139 happening but it wasn't kind of yeah 01:44:37.139 --> 01:44:39.239 pictures or things and like I didn't 01:44:39.239 --> 01:44:41.040 have words of them sometimes I would 01:44:41.040 --> 01:44:44.880 like go to it was like no word for that 01:44:44.880 --> 01:44:47.420 uh yeah notice that a few times yeah 01:44:47.420 --> 01:44:50.820 yeah so we're noticing that all these 01:44:50.820 --> 01:44:53.100 building blocks are in your body 01:44:53.100 --> 01:44:57.600 and then the and the mind is like the 01:44:57.600 --> 01:45:01.139 jamboard that when it's ready uh 01:45:01.139 --> 01:45:04.500 it can project what the work it's done 01:45:04.500 --> 01:45:07.260 for you for you the compound Angel 01:45:07.260 --> 01:45:11.219 individual JJ to see but you don't have 01:45:11.219 --> 01:45:14.880 access to the process I mean there's 01:45:14.880 --> 01:45:16.679 biomarkers 01:45:16.679 --> 01:45:18.739 um but when we think of being 01:45:18.739 --> 01:45:21.659 self-consciously aware 01:45:21.659 --> 01:45:23.760 um 01:45:23.760 --> 01:45:26.420 because it's not of thinking with words 01:45:26.420 --> 01:45:29.400 uh this is where I really 01:45:29.400 --> 01:45:33.300 have a strong disagreement with verveiki 01:45:33.300 --> 01:45:35.600 I don't think thinking is dialogic 01:45:35.600 --> 01:45:38.400 neither between people or inside your 01:45:38.400 --> 01:45:41.280 own individual 01:45:41.280 --> 01:45:43.860 um it's this other thing this other 01:45:43.860 --> 01:45:48.540 natural intelligence now working out 01:45:48.540 --> 01:45:52.500 things together is can be dialogical but 01:45:52.500 --> 01:45:53.580 I don't think 01:45:53.580 --> 01:45:54.300 um 01:45:54.300 --> 01:45:57.480 the inside the image of the the novel 01:45:57.480 --> 01:46:02.880 Insight process is biologic 01:46:08.880 --> 01:46:11.580 it's time for me it was so different 01:46:11.580 --> 01:46:14.880 because I had my eyes closed 01:46:14.880 --> 01:46:17.699 and it made it like JJ you were saying 01:46:17.699 --> 01:46:19.380 it it just 01:46:19.380 --> 01:46:22.619 made it easier to stay 01:46:22.619 --> 01:46:26.280 in the rigor of the process 01:46:26.280 --> 01:46:28.080 and 01:46:28.080 --> 01:46:29.940 a lot of it 01:46:29.940 --> 01:46:33.060 felt like stuttering almost like the the 01:46:33.060 --> 01:46:35.340 beginning of something would form and 01:46:35.340 --> 01:46:37.260 it'd be like 01:46:37.260 --> 01:46:40.139 but there was nothing 01:46:40.139 --> 01:46:41.520 but a 01:46:41.520 --> 01:46:45.139 like a sensation and 01:46:45.139 --> 01:46:47.940 nothing else right 01:46:47.940 --> 01:46:51.060 because because there's a release valve 01:46:51.060 --> 01:46:53.699 when you start to say it 01:46:53.699 --> 01:46:59.040 the energy releases and and 01:46:59.040 --> 01:47:01.040 um 01:47:01.619 --> 01:47:03.840 you know this was I used to call it 01:47:03.840 --> 01:47:06.360 swallowing the words right like when I 01:47:06.360 --> 01:47:08.580 was a kid I would do that 01:47:08.580 --> 01:47:12.480 um so it it gets you if you're you see 01:47:12.480 --> 01:47:14.100 what happens is 01:47:14.100 --> 01:47:17.400 your vigilance your attention is in the 01:47:17.400 --> 01:47:18.360 moment 01:47:18.360 --> 01:47:22.020 whereas when the whole sentence comes is 01:47:22.020 --> 01:47:23.699 because your attention's behind the 01:47:23.699 --> 01:47:25.980 scene the whole body's form this thing 01:47:25.980 --> 01:47:27.780 and then of course it gets really bad 01:47:27.780 --> 01:47:29.699 when you're strategizing and like what 01:47:29.699 --> 01:47:31.080 should I tell them and stuff like that 01:47:31.080 --> 01:47:34.080 and sometimes we want to practice 01:47:34.080 --> 01:47:36.900 the speech we're gonna give or something 01:47:36.900 --> 01:47:38.520 um but eventually you realize even 01:47:38.520 --> 01:47:41.100 that's not as good as 01:47:41.100 --> 01:47:43.619 um letting the words come out of your 01:47:43.619 --> 01:47:45.239 mouth 01:47:45.239 --> 01:47:47.520 totally entirely 01:47:47.520 --> 01:47:50.699 um independent of your mind 01:47:50.699 --> 01:47:52.320 um so 01:47:52.320 --> 01:47:55.940 um yeah so these are all 01:47:55.940 --> 01:47:59.159 progress uh 01:47:59.159 --> 01:48:01.980 and the other thing that I noticed was 01:48:01.980 --> 01:48:04.219 that at the beginning there was a lot of 01:48:04.219 --> 01:48:07.980 sensation behind my eyes like just this 01:48:07.980 --> 01:48:10.739 yeah in a very 01:48:10.739 --> 01:48:11.400 um 01:48:11.400 --> 01:48:13.619 I felt like my eyes must be must have 01:48:13.619 --> 01:48:16.940 been moving all over the place and then 01:48:16.940 --> 01:48:21.360 that sort of dropped into a different 01:48:21.360 --> 01:48:23.460 um I think it was Kevin and other people 01:48:23.460 --> 01:48:26.400 have said you know there's sir there was 01:48:26.400 --> 01:48:31.219 this moment of kind of a shift of 01:48:31.500 --> 01:48:34.100 coherence or something different 01:48:34.100 --> 01:48:36.300 happening yeah 01:48:36.300 --> 01:48:38.820 and all of that fell away that just 01:48:38.820 --> 01:48:40.199 happened to me a lot like I have like 01:48:40.199 --> 01:48:43.619 rem or something like and I think for me 01:48:43.619 --> 01:48:46.920 my I experienced it as like there's all 01:48:46.920 --> 01:48:51.119 this energy in my My Language Center and 01:48:51.119 --> 01:48:54.560 and there's some kind of uh 01:48:54.560 --> 01:48:57.360 prohibition and it's it just has like a 01:48:57.360 --> 01:48:59.159 little seizure because you know you 01:48:59.159 --> 01:49:01.800 can't talk if your eyes don't move and 01:49:01.800 --> 01:49:03.600 so you've prepared yourself not to do 01:49:03.600 --> 01:49:05.580 that but there's some like 01:49:05.580 --> 01:49:08.040 a little energy left and so your eyes 01:49:08.040 --> 01:49:10.500 just just go crazy and I also want to 01:49:10.500 --> 01:49:12.600 say I don't close my eyes but I cannot 01:49:12.600 --> 01:49:16.020 unless every once in a while I'll like I 01:49:16.020 --> 01:49:18.900 was trying to make sure Madeline was 01:49:18.900 --> 01:49:21.540 okay and here and there look and then 01:49:21.540 --> 01:49:23.580 I'm not in the practice anymore I'm kind 01:49:23.580 --> 01:49:27.719 of looking but I can't look at you uh 01:49:27.719 --> 01:49:31.739 and hear I I stare at my painting behind 01:49:31.739 --> 01:49:33.119 me 01:49:33.119 --> 01:49:34.860 um uh 01:49:34.860 --> 01:49:37.380 because it's too social once you start 01:49:37.380 --> 01:49:39.360 looking and who said that and who said 01:49:39.360 --> 01:49:41.520 that it brings you into a very social 01:49:41.520 --> 01:49:43.440 kind of 01:49:43.440 --> 01:49:45.659 um engagement which is just we're not 01:49:45.659 --> 01:49:48.480 we're not doing that so 01:49:48.480 --> 01:49:51.480 um well we you know all these things we 01:49:51.480 --> 01:49:53.820 do these highly stylized things and then 01:49:53.820 --> 01:49:56.400 we reclaim the social but it has more of 01:49:56.400 --> 01:49:58.080 this kind of 01:49:58.080 --> 01:50:01.199 quality of what I what are you 01:50:01.199 --> 01:50:03.600 exchanging in Social space would have 01:50:03.600 --> 01:50:06.840 it'll have a different quality 01:50:06.840 --> 01:50:08.100 um 01:50:08.100 --> 01:50:10.260 but again you know these are highly This 01:50:10.260 --> 01:50:13.199 is highly stylized practice 01:50:13.199 --> 01:50:15.420 was also very 01:50:15.420 --> 01:50:16.320 um 01:50:16.320 --> 01:50:20.179 to do the current of 01:50:20.179 --> 01:50:24.860 the emotion from madalena 01:50:25.040 --> 01:50:31.020 was somehow very both moving and 01:50:31.020 --> 01:50:34.980 soothing and 01:50:35.699 --> 01:50:37.800 um 01:50:37.800 --> 01:50:39.739 I don't know what the word would be but 01:50:39.739 --> 01:50:43.020 distilling it was helping us all distill 01:50:43.020 --> 01:50:47.960 in essence really really precious 01:50:54.179 --> 01:50:57.000 I want you all to know that I decided to 01:50:57.000 --> 01:51:00.139 have dinner with you 01:51:00.600 --> 01:51:01.920 oh 01:51:01.920 --> 01:51:04.920 salud 01:51:06.719 --> 01:51:09.659 why should I wait meet by myself when I 01:51:09.659 --> 01:51:11.780 can eat with all of you 01:51:11.780 --> 01:51:15.490 [Laughter] 01:51:17.900 --> 01:51:20.639 Zoe you look like you were enjoying 01:51:20.639 --> 01:51:23.520 yourself at a certain point in there 01:51:23.520 --> 01:51:27.780 uh yeah it was my first time I 01:51:27.780 --> 01:51:29.960 foreign 01:51:32.480 --> 01:51:35.420 lots of things were happening 01:51:35.420 --> 01:51:38.780 in my body 01:51:39.719 --> 01:51:42.000 so I felt like 01:51:42.000 --> 01:51:46.080 yeah my body was very stimulated 01:51:46.080 --> 01:51:48.739 by 01:51:48.840 --> 01:51:51.800 all the words 01:51:51.840 --> 01:51:53.520 happening 01:51:53.520 --> 01:51:55.619 and it felt like sometimes they were 01:51:55.619 --> 01:51:57.179 kind of 01:51:57.179 --> 01:52:01.139 percolating yeah 01:52:01.500 --> 01:52:03.840 through me like 01:52:03.840 --> 01:52:05.940 and that was 01:52:05.940 --> 01:52:12.139 yeah both uh an image and a sensation 01:52:12.619 --> 01:52:17.300 and uh bon appetit 01:52:27.659 --> 01:52:30.719 I have an Impulse Bonnie you just 01:52:30.719 --> 01:52:34.340 dropped something I think is 01:52:39.239 --> 01:52:44.340 well for sure it's a life inquiry for me 01:52:44.340 --> 01:52:47.840 and that's this 01:52:47.840 --> 01:52:52.280 dance this play between 01:52:52.500 --> 01:52:55.320 the social energy 01:52:55.320 --> 01:52:59.000 and being creative 01:53:01.080 --> 01:53:04.139 and what's beneath that that will allow 01:53:04.139 --> 01:53:07.440 us to find this deep level of meaning 01:53:07.440 --> 01:53:10.619 that's not available to me once I get 01:53:10.619 --> 01:53:14.540 off the screen and I'm in my house alone 01:53:15.300 --> 01:53:18.000 so it is social and it ain't social 01:53:18.000 --> 01:53:21.900 doing Collective Insight practice to me 01:53:21.900 --> 01:53:25.320 yes I mean phase one this highly 01:53:25.320 --> 01:53:30.560 stylized we want to calm down 01:53:31.020 --> 01:53:32.940 you know the other side of social 01:53:32.940 --> 01:53:35.520 anxiety is social enthusiasm you know 01:53:35.520 --> 01:53:38.520 come come that down 01:53:38.520 --> 01:53:40.320 um but you just said something very 01:53:40.320 --> 01:53:43.679 beautiful that that 01:53:43.679 --> 01:53:47.280 so okay so this is this is 01:53:47.280 --> 01:53:50.520 potential Insight so yes there is this 01:53:50.520 --> 01:53:53.639 one way in which 01:53:53.639 --> 01:53:56.940 we seem to be tapped into the same thing 01:53:56.940 --> 01:54:00.440 and it's not across each other socially 01:54:00.440 --> 01:54:03.420 it's something else that's like the 01:54:03.420 --> 01:54:04.980 compound individual 01:54:04.980 --> 01:54:07.679 I know you already as soon as I started 01:54:07.679 --> 01:54:12.480 to say it hit Sam Sam got the diagram so 01:54:12.480 --> 01:54:15.840 you see it's all fractal so David said 01:54:15.840 --> 01:54:17.820 this kind of personal thing that was 01:54:17.820 --> 01:54:20.040 just kind of be a parenthetical through 01:54:20.040 --> 01:54:22.739 our thing but it happens to be in the 01:54:22.739 --> 01:54:25.860 form of the question like that there's 01:54:25.860 --> 01:54:28.860 two things and they feel differently so 01:54:28.860 --> 01:54:30.960 we have compound individuals from here 01:54:30.960 --> 01:54:33.960 down into the Earth or wherever what is 01:54:33.960 --> 01:54:36.480 that direction and then we have the 01:54:36.480 --> 01:54:39.440 social level uh there's different 01:54:39.440 --> 01:54:42.060 mechanisms or different biomarkers so 01:54:42.060 --> 01:54:45.000 what David said is what we call this is 01:54:45.000 --> 01:54:48.360 a big thing an instance of itself it 01:54:48.360 --> 01:54:50.280 sounded like he was just talking now 01:54:50.280 --> 01:54:52.679 parenthetically to the experience but it 01:54:52.679 --> 01:54:55.920 happened to be in the form of the 01:54:55.920 --> 01:54:58.520 original question at this larger scale 01:54:58.520 --> 01:55:01.380 this is also something that happens all 01:55:01.380 --> 01:55:03.000 the time in Collective Insight it was 01:55:03.000 --> 01:55:06.480 like me worrying about my cat and then 01:55:06.480 --> 01:55:10.260 it becoming the focus of what we were 01:55:10.260 --> 01:55:13.860 talking about in terms of origin so 01:55:13.860 --> 01:55:16.619 um so that's that's very common like 01:55:16.619 --> 01:55:20.639 that's why the the arrangement 01:55:20.639 --> 01:55:23.100 lives in the world that somebody kept on 01:55:23.100 --> 01:55:25.619 saying here now Marie like it's got to 01:55:25.619 --> 01:55:28.139 be just here now 01:55:28.139 --> 01:55:32.400 um yeah so the local incident that makes 01:55:32.400 --> 01:55:35.100 its that arises 01:55:35.100 --> 01:55:37.320 like as a facilitator I hear that and 01:55:37.320 --> 01:55:40.679 I'm like oh my God that's exactly that 01:55:40.679 --> 01:55:42.840 is exactly that 01:55:42.840 --> 01:55:44.760 so this is another thing you learn in 01:55:44.760 --> 01:55:46.560 Collective Insight practice to notice 01:55:46.560 --> 01:55:48.119 these things because at first we think 01:55:48.119 --> 01:55:49.800 we would get them as they're just 01:55:49.800 --> 01:55:51.480 parenthetical 01:55:51.480 --> 01:55:55.139 and some of them are they're local but 01:55:55.139 --> 01:55:57.500 then some of them are like in 01:55:57.500 --> 01:56:00.900 microcosm they're showing is the the 01:56:00.900 --> 01:56:04.199 whole statement which is a microcosm is 01:56:04.199 --> 01:56:05.400 showing us 01:56:05.400 --> 01:56:09.719 something about the macro question 01:56:09.719 --> 01:56:13.199 and these are really cool ways of being 01:56:13.199 --> 01:56:16.219 humans together 01:56:17.940 --> 01:56:19.679 does that make sense David I mean 01:56:19.679 --> 01:56:22.860 because it was your your comment 01:56:22.860 --> 01:56:25.679 well for me it's an inquiry and it's 01:56:25.679 --> 01:56:27.600 going to stay in inquiry and it feels 01:56:27.600 --> 01:56:31.380 good that I was heard but for me it 01:56:31.380 --> 01:56:33.119 really comes down to having dinner 01:56:33.119 --> 01:56:35.880 together with Magdalena right now 01:56:35.880 --> 01:56:38.719 it's like the connection 01:56:38.719 --> 01:56:42.960 yeah yeah you know and you know I know 01:56:42.960 --> 01:56:45.000 we're at the dinner table with you and 01:56:45.000 --> 01:56:45.940 Yvonne 01:56:45.940 --> 01:56:49.580 [Laughter] 01:56:49.580 --> 01:56:53.659 I'm so hungry now 01:56:54.719 --> 01:56:58.440 you sure are I mean you know and it's 01:56:58.440 --> 01:57:00.060 like 01:57:00.060 --> 01:57:00.840 um 01:57:00.840 --> 01:57:05.600 I think you know if we are to 01:57:06.000 --> 01:57:07.020 um because 01:57:07.020 --> 01:57:09.659 there was one question I didn't say that 01:57:09.659 --> 01:57:12.320 before but when the words went away 01:57:12.320 --> 01:57:17.219 there was one question that kept looping 01:57:17.219 --> 01:57:20.900 what the hell is a body 01:57:22.679 --> 01:57:25.500 I mean like where's the edge yeah so 01:57:25.500 --> 01:57:27.540 that's your problem people have these 01:57:27.540 --> 01:57:31.260 problems that will grasp them 01:57:31.260 --> 01:57:33.480 and sometimes they'll stay 01:57:33.480 --> 01:57:35.520 sometimes you'll come back and they're 01:57:35.520 --> 01:57:38.099 just not there Sometimes they come back 01:57:38.099 --> 01:57:41.099 around again but 01:57:41.099 --> 01:57:44.280 we let them presence in an absence 01:57:44.280 --> 01:57:46.380 themselves 01:57:46.380 --> 01:57:52.099 um for us not by command and control 01:57:52.099 --> 01:57:55.380 as you said you know we don't even know 01:57:55.380 --> 01:57:59.580 where we are I mean you know I I keep 01:57:59.580 --> 01:58:02.360 looking at 01:58:02.460 --> 01:58:03.179 um 01:58:03.179 --> 01:58:06.659 Rey and Marie and 01:58:06.659 --> 01:58:09.480 you know and I've just been wondering 01:58:09.480 --> 01:58:12.540 are they both in Italy 01:58:12.540 --> 01:58:15.960 yes in fact this is how cool if you look 01:58:15.960 --> 01:58:17.940 at Ray there's Marie in the background 01:58:17.940 --> 01:58:19.860 and if you look at Marie 01:58:19.860 --> 01:58:22.380 you can see right in the background yeah 01:58:22.380 --> 01:58:25.199 I thought I was they can both be in the 01:58:25.199 --> 01:58:27.360 foreground and the background at the 01:58:27.360 --> 01:58:28.860 same time 01:58:28.860 --> 01:58:32.820 yeah and it's just so beautiful but I 01:58:32.820 --> 01:58:35.639 mean beautiful oh my God this is these 01:58:35.639 --> 01:58:41.159 words they're so up no but I mean 01:58:41.159 --> 01:58:44.099 that that that they're now involved in 01:58:44.099 --> 01:58:46.860 Italy you know and I'm just so 01:58:46.860 --> 01:58:51.300 there's something so Alegria you know 01:58:51.300 --> 01:58:52.679 um there 01:58:52.679 --> 01:58:55.340 you know 01:58:56.300 --> 01:59:00.719 and and and you know I mean Susan's in 01:59:00.719 --> 01:59:03.060 Australia what the hell 01:59:03.060 --> 01:59:05.760 you know I mean 01:59:05.760 --> 01:59:08.639 New Zealand sorry yeah 01:59:08.639 --> 01:59:10.980 um but I mean like if we ask the 01:59:10.980 --> 01:59:13.560 question you know what's a body a 01:59:13.560 --> 01:59:16.760 compound body I mean my body's 01:59:16.760 --> 01:59:20.580 stretching in to all these different 01:59:20.580 --> 01:59:21.920 sort of 01:59:21.920 --> 01:59:24.020 the 01:59:24.020 --> 01:59:26.960 geographies from you know 01:59:26.960 --> 01:59:30.000 having dinner with you I mean I imposed 01:59:30.000 --> 01:59:32.900 that in a sense you know 01:59:32.900 --> 01:59:36.780 but you know it is my body that's 01:59:36.780 --> 01:59:39.960 getting fed but you know as I drink the 01:59:39.960 --> 01:59:43.199 wine I'm I'm I'm toasting to you guys 01:59:43.199 --> 01:59:46.500 and you know it's like it you know 01:59:46.500 --> 01:59:50.520 it's like now it's now you know it's not 01:59:50.520 --> 01:59:53.400 like in five minutes or 01:59:53.400 --> 01:59:56.639 or the next session you know and and 01:59:56.639 --> 01:59:59.340 there's a kind of 01:59:59.340 --> 02:00:01.580 um I don't know what the word is says 02:00:01.580 --> 02:00:05.719 something comes out in Portuguese 02:00:05.719 --> 02:00:08.460 and you know it's like that was the 02:00:08.460 --> 02:00:10.980 other thing you gave me permission 02:00:10.980 --> 02:00:13.619 for the other languages that was it they 02:00:13.619 --> 02:00:16.619 like the words all went away I think I 02:00:16.619 --> 02:00:18.900 think there's some connection between 02:00:18.900 --> 02:00:21.659 that I don't know I was like okay none 02:00:21.659 --> 02:00:26.099 of them you know like I just yeah none 02:00:26.099 --> 02:00:27.420 of them 02:00:27.420 --> 02:00:31.260 um but it wasn't like a rejection or 02:00:31.260 --> 02:00:33.360 anything they're just 02:00:33.360 --> 02:00:35.580 you know just went for a walk or 02:00:35.580 --> 02:00:38.040 something you know 02:00:38.040 --> 02:00:39.739 um 02:00:39.739 --> 02:00:43.440 okay with that I have to get going but 02:00:43.440 --> 02:00:46.080 yeah so good job 02:00:46.080 --> 02:00:46.800 um 02:00:46.800 --> 02:00:49.860 and hopefully you your portals will 02:00:49.860 --> 02:00:54.619 absorb you into deeper 02:00:54.619 --> 02:00:56.540 contemplation 02:00:56.540 --> 02:01:00.659 and yeah until next time catch your mind 02:01:00.659 --> 02:01:03.920 enjoy your dinners ## Cohort 3 00:00:02.159 --> 00:00:04.340 thank you 00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:12.059 I think we should start today in 00:00:12.059 --> 00:00:14.040 breakout groups 00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:17.580 and I'll arrange the groups a little bit 00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:20.760 so that people who haven't participated 00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.180 in the first two kind of 00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:27.740 uh methodological 00:00:27.740 --> 00:00:29.699 experiments 00:00:29.699 --> 00:00:32.120 um Can Explain 00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:35.460 from like trying to give a sense of what 00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:38.399 we've been trying to do but also then 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.579 just be frank about like 00:00:41.579 --> 00:00:43.620 what's interesting or challenging about 00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:46.860 it a couple people did reach out to me 00:00:46.860 --> 00:00:49.680 after the last session this work can be 00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:51.840 challenging 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:52.500 um 00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:53.960 in 00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.300 unsuspecting ways 00:00:57.300 --> 00:00:59.420 um 00:00:59.940 --> 00:01:02.760 and uh we don't have to go meta on it 00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:05.060 we're just gonna try to 00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:08.880 survive through it we're halfway through 00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:12.840 um and then maybe we can discuss it 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:13.860 um 00:01:13.860 --> 00:01:17.040 discuss you know we want to do our our 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.860 deep breaths but we don't you know I 00:01:19.860 --> 00:01:21.840 don't want to just go like all 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.520 meta on 00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:25.560 on it so just from first personal 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.920 experience what you think is happening 00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.380 here basically we're addressing the 00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:34.140 topic of Origins 00:01:34.140 --> 00:01:34.680 um 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.380 I'll just give the Thematic 00:01:37.380 --> 00:01:40.200 um and 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.840 um noticing that when we do this 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.880 as modern displaced uh somewhat 00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:52.860 intellectuals of the Greek philosophical 00:01:52.860 --> 00:01:55.860 tradition because we don't just believe 00:01:55.860 --> 00:01:58.680 in the myths and even if we are like 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:02.159 Catholic and we can understand that the 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.979 mythology is very helpful because it 00:02:04.979 --> 00:02:06.420 congregates 00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:09.179 a community of practice 00:02:09.179 --> 00:02:10.640 um 00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:13.379 we are we are a little bit homeless 00:02:13.379 --> 00:02:17.060 because we don't have a 00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:20.099 shared origin story that we truly 00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:21.599 believe in and with the one being 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.660 believed in believe in in such a way 00:02:24.660 --> 00:02:26.640 that 00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:31.260 it Glides it irrevocably guides the 00:02:31.260 --> 00:02:34.040 choices we make 00:02:39.780 --> 00:02:42.239 like I kind of believe that if my heart 00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:44.640 wasn't beating I would die hence I do 00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:47.040 not take a knife and stab it into my 00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:52.280 chest so this is an irrevocable belief 00:02:52.379 --> 00:02:54.780 um but 00:02:54.780 --> 00:02:59.959 we very not very few people 00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:02.280 you know people will say they believe 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:03.959 that they sin they have to go to 00:03:03.959 --> 00:03:06.180 Purgatory which is just as bad as hell 00:03:06.180 --> 00:03:07.620 except you get out but you don't know 00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:09.300 you know if you really believe these 00:03:09.300 --> 00:03:11.220 things it would irrevocably change your 00:03:11.220 --> 00:03:12.599 behavior 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.599 so it can we 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.480 um and if you look at the way most 00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:21.060 modern people are based on their 00:03:21.060 --> 00:03:22.319 behavior 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.739 what they espouse you would you would 00:03:25.739 --> 00:03:27.920 you would infer that what they 00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:30.780 espouses a Newtonian dead Universe 00:03:30.780 --> 00:03:36.239 because that's how collectively we uh we 00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:37.860 behave in the world 00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:40.739 so Katie and Schulte do not currently 00:03:40.739 --> 00:03:42.959 look like they believe in an atonian 00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:44.879 dead Universe 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:45.599 um 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.299 and 00:03:48.299 --> 00:03:52.920 so one could infer that we most as a 00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:55.799 collective and chorus I'm talking about 00:03:55.799 --> 00:03:58.019 the virus that has infected most of the 00:03:58.019 --> 00:04:00.680 globe and that's this Western humanism 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.120 uh we believe 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.000 uh we act as if we irrevocably believe 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.080 in a Newtonian universe 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.780 um with these these kind of strange 00:04:12.780 --> 00:04:14.540 emergent 00:04:14.540 --> 00:04:16.979 capacities that we don't we don't 00:04:16.979 --> 00:04:19.139 understand okay so we're trying to tell 00:04:19.139 --> 00:04:21.540 different origin stories and what we 00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:23.880 find when we first do that 00:04:23.880 --> 00:04:26.340 um is that we come up with epistemic 00:04:26.340 --> 00:04:28.860 uh constraints 00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:30.479 and in the first 00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:33.660 uh session we noticed a lot of those 00:04:33.660 --> 00:04:36.960 like maybe the universe wasn't living 00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:40.080 from the beginning maybe it's it's we 00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:42.360 know life has to come from Death so 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.120 maybe we don't ascribe enough 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.699 properties of death and I'm not talking 00:04:47.699 --> 00:04:50.699 about dead matter but the way death is 00:04:50.699 --> 00:04:53.660 alive or gives rise to life 00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:57.780 and what if you know what if the origin 00:04:57.780 --> 00:04:59.820 of the universe is something more like a 00:04:59.820 --> 00:05:03.000 compost heat or 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.580 um something along those natures and 00:05:05.580 --> 00:05:09.720 other epistemic constraints are 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.000 um temporal ones the origin happened in 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.699 the past maybe time is part of the 00:05:14.699 --> 00:05:17.460 origin story of maybe it's not 00:05:17.460 --> 00:05:19.560 um we have constraints such as inside 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.560 and outside and then we have this other 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.840 this big constraint 00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:27.419 um that is 00:05:27.419 --> 00:05:29.280 um the the constraint between the 00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:30.259 compound 00:05:30.259 --> 00:05:33.360 individual Samuel keeps bouncing in and 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.300 out here the compound individual and the 00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:38.639 collective right so it's easy for me to 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.400 say I'm a compound individual 00:05:41.400 --> 00:05:42.419 it 00:05:42.419 --> 00:05:45.240 at many different kinds of compounding 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.180 because like my cells are compounded in 00:05:48.180 --> 00:05:50.699 me in in a little bit different way than 00:05:50.699 --> 00:05:54.479 the bacteria that live in my gut are in 00:05:54.479 --> 00:05:57.900 me but I'm more like a habitat but they 00:05:57.900 --> 00:06:01.080 communicate with me and 00:06:01.080 --> 00:06:02.699 um 00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:05.759 do the bacteria in my gut are they a 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:07.800 collective like a social collective in 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.320 there are they like where do these 00:06:10.320 --> 00:06:13.460 things work and then at a society level 00:06:13.460 --> 00:06:17.280 is society a compound individual and a 00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:20.340 compound individual means that there's a 00:06:20.340 --> 00:06:23.340 it compounds up to a single kind of 00:06:23.340 --> 00:06:26.520 agency or a single kind of intention or 00:06:26.520 --> 00:06:29.160 a single kind of choice 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.520 um is the earth a compound individual 00:06:32.520 --> 00:06:34.860 made up of all its living members the 00:06:34.860 --> 00:06:37.620 way my body is a compound individual 00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:39.720 or is the Earth 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.300 and the solar system a compound 00:06:42.300 --> 00:06:45.600 individual or are they a collective so 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.660 these are 00:06:47.660 --> 00:06:51.780 current constraints on 00:06:51.780 --> 00:06:54.780 um how we 00:06:54.780 --> 00:06:55.620 um 00:06:55.620 --> 00:06:57.360 tell our 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.360 tell our origin story and one way to sum 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.600 up it is that you could think of God as 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:05.000 the 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.360 largest compound individual that's one 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.340 way to think of it would be a modern way 00:07:11.340 --> 00:07:14.039 as opposed to 00:07:14.039 --> 00:07:16.680 an external force and then here's the 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:18.539 creation 00:07:18.539 --> 00:07:22.080 um and which would mean that creation is 00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:25.560 Ingress or inside god 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.259 um the way my cells are inside me so all 00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:33.240 these questions are up for contemplation 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.460 um we understand 00:07:35.460 --> 00:07:36.960 um 00:07:36.960 --> 00:07:39.960 this is not a linear exercise and so 00:07:39.960 --> 00:07:41.940 that when at the end of the day we have 00:07:41.940 --> 00:07:44.039 an answer and we fight about it blah 00:07:44.039 --> 00:07:46.919 blah blah this is actual exercise and 00:07:46.919 --> 00:07:49.520 what Jan silica would call lyric 00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:52.520 philosophy 00:07:52.520 --> 00:07:56.340 where we feel into the question and 00:07:56.340 --> 00:07:58.380 whatever we come up with we try to 00:07:58.380 --> 00:08:01.800 notice families that hang together 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:02.599 um 00:08:02.599 --> 00:08:07.020 at this phase of the process so 00:08:07.020 --> 00:08:09.360 we're doing that and we're also 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.539 practicing a strange methodology in a 00:08:12.539 --> 00:08:15.000 very kind of brutal way in the sense 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.099 that we just jumped into it and it's on 00:08:17.099 --> 00:08:19.500 the internet which is always harder and 00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:21.539 the methodology is called Collective 00:08:21.539 --> 00:08:23.639 Insight practice 00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:26.520 and this is where I'm going to leave 00:08:26.520 --> 00:08:31.219 it's for your fellow fellow 00:08:31.219 --> 00:08:36.240 sojourners uh to explain 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:37.860 um what they think Collective Insight 00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:40.440 practices or 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.979 um what what you know it can be a very 00:08:43.979 --> 00:08:47.519 odd strange explanation it's it 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.080 it's just 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:50.220 um 00:08:50.220 --> 00:08:53.300 let's process process some of this 00:08:53.300 --> 00:08:56.820 experience in smaller groups so I'm 00:08:56.820 --> 00:08:58.320 going to do breakout groups so go for 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.839 half an hour and 00:09:00.839 --> 00:09:01.500 um 00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:03.899 I'm gonna fiddle it with it a little so 00:09:03.899 --> 00:09:06.000 that some people have been here doing 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.339 the practice will be with people who 00:09:08.339 --> 00:09:10.800 haven't been doing the practice 00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:12.360 um 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:14.940 so I just need a little time to do that 00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:16.380 I find this 00:09:16.380 --> 00:09:19.980 quite confusing actually 00:09:19.980 --> 00:09:22.380 uh 00:09:22.380 --> 00:09:25.500 something is really weird 00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:28.380 let's stop they want to put it wants to 00:09:28.380 --> 00:09:30.660 put you all in one room it says room one 00:09:30.660 --> 00:09:33.480 15 people 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.459 at our own 00:09:35.459 --> 00:09:38.760 a lot of room out of room oh it's it's 00:09:38.760 --> 00:09:41.040 okay I know it I know there's something 00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:42.480 wrong 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.660 there's something wrong here 00:09:45.660 --> 00:09:48.380 um okay 00:09:48.740 --> 00:09:51.240 this is really 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:55.560 it doesn't give me the same things 00:09:55.560 --> 00:09:58.459 uh 00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:01.260 all right it's gonna make me do this the 00:10:01.260 --> 00:10:05.519 long way around I might have uh 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:06.720 um 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:10.800 I might have changed it so let's see we 00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:13.080 can we'll have her 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:14.640 her 00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:17.580 move to two 00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:21.779 and we don't want we can move him to two 00:10:21.779 --> 00:10:24.360 uh 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:27.060 we can move 00:10:27.060 --> 00:10:30.779 into one oh he's in one sorry if I'm 00:10:30.779 --> 00:10:33.420 talking about you this way but it's a 00:10:33.420 --> 00:10:34.980 little 00:10:34.980 --> 00:10:37.260 confusing 00:10:37.260 --> 00:10:40.980 uh we'll move her to three 00:10:40.980 --> 00:10:44.700 and we'll move her to three 00:10:44.700 --> 00:10:47.660 and 00:10:48.079 --> 00:10:51.060 four four to three okay there's three 00:10:51.060 --> 00:10:52.680 girls in there we don't care about that 00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:58.920 okay that's good and now we have to have 00:10:58.920 --> 00:11:03.019 uh let's see we'll remove 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.120 four two four and him 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:14.160 whoops M two four and 00:11:17.640 --> 00:11:21.800 for her two four 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:25.980 oh I should have played more video games 00:11:25.980 --> 00:11:29.459 and this is let's see okay and then I 00:11:29.459 --> 00:11:31.740 just have to split up one more uh this 00:11:31.740 --> 00:11:36.300 is good I just have to split up one more 00:11:36.300 --> 00:11:40.260 room and I think I'm done 00:11:40.260 --> 00:11:43.500 yeah that's good 00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:45.000 that's good 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.899 that's good 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.740 that might be tough 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.779 if I'm gonna change her then what's this 00:11:54.779 --> 00:11:57.079 one 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.360 okay I'm going to move 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.779 her to hear and 00:12:05.779 --> 00:12:08.880 into here 00:12:08.880 --> 00:12:10.980 okay 00:12:10.980 --> 00:12:12.540 enjoy your company enjoy your 00:12:12.540 --> 00:12:15.540 conversation uh we'll see you in a half 00:12:15.540 --> 00:12:17.839 an hour 00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:44.000 good David's smiling this kid this kid 00:12:46.560 --> 00:12:49.200 all right what do we got for our viewing 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.860 audience 00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:00.360 uh a question that came up in our group 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.279 or the question I'm wondering about is 00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.579 like how do you hold or not hold the 00:13:05.579 --> 00:13:08.100 intention of the themes that we're 00:13:08.100 --> 00:13:09.959 exploring 00:13:09.959 --> 00:13:11.760 um when you're just kind of saying 00:13:11.760 --> 00:13:13.860 what's coming to mind directly and then 00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:15.480 there's kind of like ping-ponging off 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:16.680 the group and maybe going in different 00:13:16.680 --> 00:13:18.360 directions like 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.160 are you 00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:22.560 like maintaining some kind of internal 00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:23.579 tether 00:13:23.579 --> 00:13:25.680 to the intention or yeah if you just 00:13:25.680 --> 00:13:28.160 speak to that 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.139 yeah it's a great question and it it is 00:13:31.139 --> 00:13:33.300 a big part of defining Collective 00:13:33.300 --> 00:13:36.540 Insight practice so if we had a stronger 00:13:36.540 --> 00:13:40.620 common context like our neighborhood was 00:13:40.620 --> 00:13:43.500 on fire uh six months out of the year 00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:45.240 and we want to do something about it 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:49.440 that holds the common intention 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.860 um so our common intention is to come up 00:13:52.860 --> 00:13:55.079 with an origin story it probably lives 00:13:55.079 --> 00:13:57.300 in me more of a burning thing right now 00:13:57.300 --> 00:13:58.920 than everybody else 00:13:58.920 --> 00:14:01.320 um and so that's why I think I said that 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.180 it not that you know I said a lot of 00:14:03.180 --> 00:14:05.279 things the very first time 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.579 um but but this is why I say Collective 00:14:08.579 --> 00:14:10.500 Insight practice is a three-legged stool 00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:11.760 you need the individual you need the 00:14:11.760 --> 00:14:14.459 collective and you need a strong common 00:14:14.459 --> 00:14:18.600 context that's in the world that's real 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:21.360 that allows you then to go all over the 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:22.860 place and stuff you don't have to worry 00:14:22.860 --> 00:14:24.600 because you're sitting here trying to 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.760 solve something 00:14:26.760 --> 00:14:28.500 um whereas when the problem itself is 00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:31.500 sort of meta then it then it gets into a 00:14:31.500 --> 00:14:34.380 very generative liminal spaces 00:14:34.380 --> 00:14:38.459 um but it it's then it it would by kind 00:14:38.459 --> 00:14:40.320 of just by definition not be Collective 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:42.899 Insight practice so 00:14:42.899 --> 00:14:44.160 um 00:14:44.160 --> 00:14:47.760 um so having this shared context is is 00:14:47.760 --> 00:14:49.680 and especially if it's more the more 00:14:49.680 --> 00:14:54.060 concrete it is the more uh fruitful 00:14:54.060 --> 00:14:55.139 um 00:14:55.139 --> 00:14:59.480 the methodology can can seem 00:15:01.740 --> 00:15:04.620 so what you notice is we were basically 00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:06.360 practicing the methodology more than 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:07.980 trying to solve the problem which is 00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:11.100 okay uh because that's kind of where 00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:13.320 we're at and we in that shared context 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:17.160 isn't as as strong 00:15:17.160 --> 00:15:19.160 um 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.639 that's an excellent question 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:35.399 so it's still like a collective insect 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:36.899 practice if it's just like for the 00:15:36.899 --> 00:15:40.740 experience of flux that we experience 00:15:40.740 --> 00:15:42.540 without like necessarily having this 00:15:42.540 --> 00:15:45.000 shared context or 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.000 yeah and the whole thing is here's the 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.459 funny thing 00:15:50.459 --> 00:15:52.680 a lot of the things you guys have said 00:15:52.680 --> 00:15:56.220 have been ruminating in me because I 00:15:56.220 --> 00:15:58.380 have this intention and so then I 00:15:58.380 --> 00:16:00.540 participate actually I've made a lot of 00:16:00.540 --> 00:16:02.519 progress just now just by sending you 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:04.500 guys into the breakout room and worrying 00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:07.320 about what you would say created a 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.019 different kind of process in my mind 00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:13.260 and that I have read this thing I said I 00:16:13.260 --> 00:16:16.199 I was trying to solve something and I 00:16:16.199 --> 00:16:19.320 sent it to the notes and 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.079 yes all these things are still 00:16:22.079 --> 00:16:25.980 Collective Eve and so in many cases when 00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:27.660 there's not a strong shared context 00:16:27.660 --> 00:16:29.820 you'll see that 00:16:29.820 --> 00:16:31.820 um 00:16:32.760 --> 00:16:36.660 that something will present itself to an 00:16:36.660 --> 00:16:38.519 individual and it's their thing to solve 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:40.920 uh but the funny thing is that the 00:16:40.920 --> 00:16:43.380 process somehow 00:16:43.380 --> 00:16:45.839 is relevant anyways 00:16:45.839 --> 00:16:48.000 I mean it can't be so diametrically 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:50.160 opposed that you know but like you saw 00:16:50.160 --> 00:16:53.160 JJ he started getting like oh I I need 00:16:53.160 --> 00:16:55.620 to go away and think about this and 00:16:55.620 --> 00:16:57.060 so 00:16:57.060 --> 00:16:58.740 so 00:16:58.740 --> 00:17:00.959 um yeah so it's always it's always 00:17:00.959 --> 00:17:03.779 valuable at some level 00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:05.339 um and 00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:07.079 um and 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.660 it produces 00:17:09.660 --> 00:17:11.459 you know for some people it's it's it's 00:17:11.459 --> 00:17:15.299 been energetically uh challenging that's 00:17:15.299 --> 00:17:17.699 kind of interesting right because what 00:17:17.699 --> 00:17:19.559 are we doing nothing we're trying not to 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:22.919 talk so much I mean really this is this 00:17:22.919 --> 00:17:25.439 is and and so 00:17:25.439 --> 00:17:29.040 um yeah but if you had a shared context 00:17:29.040 --> 00:17:29.840 um 00:17:29.840 --> 00:17:33.780 then these little things that seem 00:17:33.780 --> 00:17:36.900 synchronous and special become much more 00:17:36.900 --> 00:17:41.720 obviously uh synchronous and special 00:17:48.600 --> 00:17:50.460 a joke 00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:54.059 yeah hi Bonnie it's good 00:17:54.059 --> 00:17:57.000 uh you said you were worried about what 00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:58.440 we would say 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:00.900 what were you worried about 00:18:00.900 --> 00:18:05.280 did I say the word worry uh-huh I did oh 00:18:05.280 --> 00:18:07.260 uh 00:18:07.260 --> 00:18:09.960 um well it's been challenging for people 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:13.440 and kind of disorienting and 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.500 um and on a certain level of analysis 00:18:16.500 --> 00:18:18.179 it's like 00:18:18.179 --> 00:18:20.039 what we had an Insight the other day 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:21.539 that how could you tell a story of the 00:18:21.539 --> 00:18:23.039 origin if we don't even know where we 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.820 are and if I had reported that to a task 00:18:26.820 --> 00:18:28.440 force I think that'd be kind of funny 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:30.059 you know I mean I wasn't worried like 00:18:30.059 --> 00:18:32.580 really worried but like 00:18:32.580 --> 00:18:34.740 certain it's a it's a strange 00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:37.919 methodology at first you know 00:18:37.919 --> 00:18:38.820 um 00:18:38.820 --> 00:18:42.260 um but I also did a trick 00:18:44.820 --> 00:18:47.580 because because when I invited people to 00:18:47.580 --> 00:18:49.200 tell new people what they've been doing 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.660 then then usually 00:18:51.660 --> 00:18:53.520 um a lot of that this is stupid energy 00:18:53.520 --> 00:18:55.559 goes away because there is something 00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:57.660 that they might share that it's been 00:18:57.660 --> 00:18:59.460 beneficial too so that's all that was 00:18:59.460 --> 00:19:03.000 also part of knowing that like 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:04.919 to get both sides out would be very 00:19:04.919 --> 00:19:06.660 important but I I wanted to give people 00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:11.700 permission to to also say that it that 00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:14.400 it's not like we did these two two days 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:17.400 of this exercise and it's like a godsend 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:19.080 or something like that because that's 00:19:19.080 --> 00:19:22.679 that's not what if that's like 00:19:22.679 --> 00:19:27.260 so uh you're not on commission 00:19:27.360 --> 00:19:30.559 I was tricked 00:19:30.660 --> 00:19:36.059 yeah you accomplished it and sitting 00:19:36.059 --> 00:19:37.380 here 00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:41.120 I feel like 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.240 I would be running away as a thief 00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:54.780 not sharing what we 00:19:54.780 --> 00:19:56.940 process together 00:19:56.940 --> 00:20:02.160 we is Raj Ray 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:05.059 and myself 00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:13.860 rather than my take on it I would love 00:20:13.860 --> 00:20:18.720 to hear either Raj or Rey share the 00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.160 process we went through 00:20:22.679 --> 00:20:24.900 you also had the Dream Team and actually 00:20:24.900 --> 00:20:27.660 I now that you've said it I realized I 00:20:27.660 --> 00:20:30.299 put the dream team together and I was 00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:32.760 being intentional but not quite that 00:20:32.760 --> 00:20:35.100 intentional but I do want to to notice 00:20:35.100 --> 00:20:38.460 that also oh 00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:41.100 because of your prior experiences with 00:20:41.100 --> 00:20:42.419 death 00:20:42.419 --> 00:20:45.240 with that duo there 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:47.280 well I'll just say being in the 00:20:47.280 --> 00:20:50.700 conversation with Ray and and uh having 00:20:50.700 --> 00:20:52.799 um Murray in the room it's like being an 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:54.480 Escher painting the hand drawing the 00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:57.059 hand it's like well there's a back and a 00:20:57.059 --> 00:20:59.400 who's back in whose front it was this 00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:02.160 this sort of moment of reflection uh and 00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:05.720 Paradox we had to deal with 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.100 but Ray you can jump in 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:15.120 thanks 00:21:15.120 --> 00:21:16.799 so 00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:20.600 well I I mean 00:21:21.780 --> 00:21:24.419 what makes what makes sense to me in 00:21:24.419 --> 00:21:26.039 terms of what we were 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.580 kind of trying to point that 00:21:29.580 --> 00:21:32.240 was 00:21:32.700 --> 00:21:36.059 what happens with this sense of 00:21:36.059 --> 00:21:38.159 I call it oscillation because that's 00:21:38.159 --> 00:21:40.020 just what it feels like 00:21:40.020 --> 00:21:43.380 but this sense of 00:21:43.380 --> 00:21:48.360 um self and other or or I in that 00:21:48.360 --> 00:21:51.020 or this and that 00:21:51.020 --> 00:21:54.539 during the exercises where there's 00:21:54.539 --> 00:21:58.320 there's a sense of self that's 00:21:58.320 --> 00:22:01.500 um realizing something 00:22:01.500 --> 00:22:04.080 and then the kind of energy that it that 00:22:04.080 --> 00:22:07.200 that it takes anyway for me 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:10.140 to to digest that 00:22:10.140 --> 00:22:12.659 the something and the eye are no 00:22:12.659 --> 00:22:14.960 different 00:22:15.659 --> 00:22:18.419 and then the kind of the resultant 00:22:18.419 --> 00:22:20.480 kind of um 00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:23.940 space or moment that that allows or 00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:25.380 affords 00:22:25.380 --> 00:22:27.419 and then the three of us were talking 00:22:27.419 --> 00:22:30.720 about in an experience with this Gap 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.419 with this sense of Gap with a sense of 00:22:33.419 --> 00:22:38.400 of of this or that and I I offered 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:39.480 um 00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.600 uh I read that that quote from 00:22:42.600 --> 00:22:44.520 um Christopher Alexander that talks 00:22:44.520 --> 00:22:45.299 about 00:22:45.299 --> 00:22:49.200 that the sense of of I is is present in 00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:51.539 the universe 00:22:51.539 --> 00:22:53.700 and so that and then 00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:56.580 um David talked really beautifully about 00:22:56.580 --> 00:22:59.580 this sense of this Gap that actually is 00:22:59.580 --> 00:23:02.700 feels necessary and and it feels I'm not 00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:04.500 going to use the words you use David or 00:23:04.500 --> 00:23:07.380 perhaps you both can help me but the 00:23:07.380 --> 00:23:10.740 sense that that space needs to be 00:23:10.740 --> 00:23:12.179 included 00:23:12.179 --> 00:23:13.860 but also 00:23:13.860 --> 00:23:17.100 in it in a gentle way 00:23:17.100 --> 00:23:19.020 and it in a 00:23:19.020 --> 00:23:23.520 in a way where it it that Gap or that 00:23:23.520 --> 00:23:25.500 what seems to be this Gap or this kind 00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:27.600 of oscillation or a membrane 00:23:27.600 --> 00:23:29.820 or the sense of self and other can be 00:23:29.820 --> 00:23:31.100 actually 00:23:31.100 --> 00:23:36.059 contained within that Gap so that 00:23:36.059 --> 00:23:39.059 in a sense that starts to feel necessary 00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:41.520 that space feels necessary 00:23:41.520 --> 00:23:44.580 but it but it's less about feeling 00:23:44.580 --> 00:23:46.799 separate and more about feeling this 00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:47.940 kind of 00:23:47.940 --> 00:23:52.940 this this impulse of our or this pulse 00:23:55.620 --> 00:23:58.940 uh yeah um 00:24:01.020 --> 00:24:03.620 so 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:09.179 we were engaging in sharing with Raj our 00:24:09.179 --> 00:24:11.340 experience of this practice this muscle 00:24:11.340 --> 00:24:13.140 building we're doing 00:24:13.140 --> 00:24:15.539 and 00:24:15.539 --> 00:24:18.780 I had two filters going on looking at 00:24:18.780 --> 00:24:21.000 that question that how I wanted to share 00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.900 one is the Rick Rubin interview 00:24:23.900 --> 00:24:29.159 meditating to feel the music to feel the 00:24:29.159 --> 00:24:32.460 search for the origin just coming from 00:24:32.460 --> 00:24:35.039 the feeling and getting rid of all the 00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:37.919 distractions that are in the way so the 00:24:37.919 --> 00:24:40.620 exercise is a meditative process of 00:24:40.620 --> 00:24:42.299 feeling 00:24:42.299 --> 00:24:45.840 and then the other filter was your 00:24:45.840 --> 00:24:48.000 it was too many words for me to read 00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:50.580 quickly this morning but this 00:24:50.580 --> 00:24:53.340 language model the universal language 00:24:53.340 --> 00:24:56.580 model that you talked about and this 00:24:56.580 --> 00:25:01.200 this sense that the native language had 00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:05.640 no one two three four they had more or 00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:08.940 less and you said in your words two 00:25:08.940 --> 00:25:11.840 words at the end of a paragraph 00:25:11.840 --> 00:25:14.700 pardon yourself 00:25:14.700 --> 00:25:18.840 to that vastness of more and less not 00:25:18.840 --> 00:25:22.260 the focus of one two three four how the 00:25:22.260 --> 00:25:25.080 heck do I Harden myself to fasten this 00:25:25.080 --> 00:25:27.260 money 00:25:27.419 --> 00:25:29.580 yeah I didn't say that that was that 00:25:29.580 --> 00:25:31.740 direct quote and I put it up because 00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:35.460 madalina went on that riff right the end 00:25:35.460 --> 00:25:37.080 of the last thing and she didn't have 00:25:37.080 --> 00:25:39.240 time to she was more like channeling 00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:41.279 these these guys 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:42.840 um but it's very interesting because 00:25:42.840 --> 00:25:44.640 this is kind of like what would happen 00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:46.559 in Collective Insight you know then 00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:49.380 someone goes and she started saying this 00:25:49.380 --> 00:25:51.900 you know the snakes beware this and then 00:25:51.900 --> 00:25:55.799 I and I then I read the award-winning 00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:59.820 the thing on astral codex and then there 00:25:59.820 --> 00:26:02.279 was an article on the snake she was 00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:05.039 talking about yesterday like in this 00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:07.500 these so this is like the whole universe 00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:09.240 is doing like Collective Insight 00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:10.980 practice and we talked about paying 00:26:10.980 --> 00:26:13.380 attention to 00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:15.960 um the period in between is 00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:18.960 participating too and and 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.380 um yeah that's us that that that so my 00:26:22.380 --> 00:26:24.419 point is Harden 00:26:24.419 --> 00:26:25.980 um 00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:29.820 I would not want to 00:26:29.820 --> 00:26:32.159 I noticed myself when I read that 00:26:32.159 --> 00:26:33.720 article 00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:34.559 um 00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:36.779 you know they would never tell an origin 00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:39.240 story no one was there right like why 00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:41.039 you ask that question it's silly no one 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:43.380 was there at the origin but the thing 00:26:43.380 --> 00:26:45.120 that I thought was interesting in that 00:26:45.120 --> 00:26:46.740 article it may have been in a side 00:26:46.740 --> 00:26:48.480 article that I found the article from 00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:49.440 but 00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.260 it was like it said that they don't have 00:26:52.260 --> 00:26:54.179 to ask us questions because they know 00:26:54.179 --> 00:26:57.360 where they oh it said something like 00:26:57.360 --> 00:27:00.659 the religious person can't 00:27:00.659 --> 00:27:04.140 uh Everett I guess said he was trying to 00:27:04.140 --> 00:27:06.059 convert them he says you can't convert 00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:08.039 them because they're not lost 00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:10.679 they know where the river is I thought 00:27:10.679 --> 00:27:13.440 that for me you know so on the one hand 00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:14.700 I didn't want to be a person that 00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:17.940 couldn't count and and and 00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:18.960 um 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:21.960 uh but that the the quote that lived for 00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:24.600 me in that was you can't convert these 00:27:24.600 --> 00:27:26.220 people because they're not lost they 00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:28.740 know where the river is and this lived 00:27:28.740 --> 00:27:31.320 in me because I was like it's but it's 00:27:31.320 --> 00:27:34.679 the same question for us you know for 00:27:34.679 --> 00:27:37.020 them their their life is very concrete 00:27:37.020 --> 00:27:39.779 and they know where the river is and for 00:27:39.779 --> 00:27:42.779 us our life is very abstract we don't 00:27:42.779 --> 00:27:45.240 know what what our river is 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.600 never mind where the river is like we 00:27:48.600 --> 00:27:51.120 don't know we don't and and then so then 00:27:51.120 --> 00:27:53.400 I reclaimed the origin story like for us 00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:56.400 the origin story is the river 00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:58.559 um so 00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:00.600 um 00:28:00.600 --> 00:28:03.659 yeah I'm just yeah somehow Dead all that 00:28:03.659 --> 00:28:05.700 all fits in there yeah and then they had 00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:08.039 you know from our perspective they had a 00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:09.840 lot hard lives but it was also careful 00:28:09.840 --> 00:28:11.620 to say like 00:28:11.620 --> 00:28:13.980 [Music] 00:28:13.980 --> 00:28:16.919 you know they're not necessarily less 00:28:16.919 --> 00:28:19.380 happy than we are or whatever 00:28:19.380 --> 00:28:20.820 um 00:28:20.820 --> 00:28:24.539 um well they did they I I totally forgot 00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:27.360 that I brought that up in my room when I 00:28:27.360 --> 00:28:29.340 saw your practically unconscious you 00:28:29.340 --> 00:28:31.400 were just your subconscious was just 00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:33.539 coming out 00:28:33.539 --> 00:28:36.779 I I totally forgot and so when I saw 00:28:36.779 --> 00:28:39.120 your post I'm like oh I'm so glad she's 00:28:39.120 --> 00:28:42.260 connecting this because you know like 00:28:42.260 --> 00:28:45.779 wonderfully surprised you know it's like 00:28:45.779 --> 00:28:49.200 oh something's working you know because 00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.200 um it's something that that is there you 00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:56.240 know mostly I mean I I I I I I I 00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:58.320 commented I don't know if you've seen 00:28:58.320 --> 00:29:02.220 but yeah well I just love the the story 00:29:02.220 --> 00:29:04.200 when you know they're having a 00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:06.120 conversation about Jesus and they're 00:29:06.120 --> 00:29:08.340 asking me Everett 00:29:08.340 --> 00:29:09.600 you know 00:29:09.600 --> 00:29:12.960 um so is he tall like you are he said 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:15.720 well I don't really know 00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:18.480 um does does he have red hair because he 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:20.880 had red hair did you have red hair like 00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:23.700 you oh no no no then what color is it 00:29:23.700 --> 00:29:26.279 well you know it must have been like 00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:27.960 dark 00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:31.620 must have been and do you have blue eyes 00:29:31.620 --> 00:29:34.559 like you oh no definitely not so what 00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:37.679 color oh you know probably Brown and 00:29:37.679 --> 00:29:39.960 then he thinks for he thinks about it 00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:43.260 for a minute and he says Everett we like 00:29:43.260 --> 00:29:44.520 you 00:29:44.520 --> 00:29:46.620 but can you stop talking about this 00:29:46.620 --> 00:29:48.899 Jesus because you obviously don't know 00:29:48.899 --> 00:29:53.059 him you don't know you've never met him 00:29:54.179 --> 00:29:55.740 now that I'm 00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:59.340 going to be here uh this also moved in 00:29:59.340 --> 00:30:02.460 my imagination because this notion of 00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:05.100 well why talk about origin stories you 00:30:05.100 --> 00:30:07.380 weren't there right maybe this is the 00:30:07.380 --> 00:30:10.260 hardened thing David so the origin story 00:30:10.260 --> 00:30:12.059 okay I wasn't there and but then I 00:30:12.059 --> 00:30:15.659 thought but Mata was there 00:30:15.659 --> 00:30:18.299 and the photons were there and then I 00:30:18.299 --> 00:30:20.520 started channeling Rich Blundell like 00:30:20.520 --> 00:30:24.059 like and and I think this is what the 00:30:24.059 --> 00:30:26.039 chapter will be like like it's The 00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:29.460 Greatest Story Ever Told except at first 00:30:29.460 --> 00:30:33.059 it only could be told like like 00:30:33.059 --> 00:30:36.419 the energy can only speak one way and 00:30:36.419 --> 00:30:39.179 that's through movement and change 00:30:39.179 --> 00:30:41.820 and so because like I don't get I can 00:30:41.820 --> 00:30:43.559 never understand what Rich was saying 00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:45.120 really because I know he doesn't mean it 00:30:45.120 --> 00:30:48.120 as a metaphor that you know the universe 00:30:48.120 --> 00:30:50.940 is telling its own story but it's so 00:30:50.940 --> 00:30:54.779 then I was thinking of like and then so 00:30:54.779 --> 00:30:57.480 so 00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:00.360 it's not like the story of the origins 00:31:00.360 --> 00:31:02.700 is like something we tell in past time 00:31:02.700 --> 00:31:05.700 this epistemic constraint is that back 00:31:05.700 --> 00:31:08.220 then the only way it could tell its 00:31:08.220 --> 00:31:10.140 story was through patterns of energy 00:31:10.140 --> 00:31:13.320 patterns of movement movement and change 00:31:13.320 --> 00:31:16.679 because it right and then and then but I 00:31:16.679 --> 00:31:18.419 also got this from reading the astral 00:31:18.419 --> 00:31:20.520 codex 10 and you'll see why I mean 00:31:20.520 --> 00:31:22.919 everything started to like populate so 00:31:22.919 --> 00:31:25.320 then what's the next way the universe 00:31:25.320 --> 00:31:27.720 can tell a story through pattern and 00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:30.120 repetition so now you get things that 00:31:30.120 --> 00:31:32.700 are starting to hang out a while and 00:31:32.700 --> 00:31:34.440 have patterns so this is like matter 00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:35.760 right 00:31:35.760 --> 00:31:38.940 and then the next thing is through 00:31:38.940 --> 00:31:40.080 relation 00:31:40.080 --> 00:31:42.720 and so the internal external relation so 00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:44.820 now you start to see compound 00:31:44.820 --> 00:31:48.299 individuals and collectives 00:31:48.299 --> 00:31:50.340 then the next thing and this is kind of 00:31:50.340 --> 00:31:53.640 a big jump but is it starts now to be 00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:55.919 part of the astral codex 10 where he 00:31:55.919 --> 00:31:58.620 talks about children 00:31:58.620 --> 00:32:00.960 should learn 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:02.880 when they're young they should learn 00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:07.020 like like uh 00:32:07.020 --> 00:32:08.820 like when they're really young it's very 00:32:08.820 --> 00:32:11.039 similar to public school when they're 00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:13.200 very young they're like primitive people 00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:16.020 they should learn in somatic and mimetic 00:32:16.020 --> 00:32:18.059 ways so we should we should talk to the 00:32:18.059 --> 00:32:21.120 core self basically and then at the next 00:32:21.120 --> 00:32:24.000 level they should learn in memetic and 00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:26.520 gestural ways right so they learn how to 00:32:26.520 --> 00:32:28.679 cook by watches something Sandra talked 00:32:28.679 --> 00:32:30.140 we spent a lot of time in the kitchen 00:32:30.140 --> 00:32:35.100 and then evolutionary in our history we 00:32:35.100 --> 00:32:37.559 um became oral and he talks about like 00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:39.840 kids in in 00:32:39.840 --> 00:32:42.539 um Middle School are bored under their 00:32:42.539 --> 00:32:44.520 gourds because they're at the stage 00:32:44.520 --> 00:32:46.440 where they want to gossip and they want 00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:48.179 to tell Mythic stories and they want to 00:32:48.179 --> 00:32:51.419 tell look at Heroes and they do this ad 00:32:51.419 --> 00:32:54.059 nauseam and in their own time and he's 00:32:54.059 --> 00:32:57.059 saying school at this age should take 00:32:57.059 --> 00:32:59.580 advantage this is the cognitive strength 00:32:59.580 --> 00:33:02.580 at that age and so tell history of like 00:33:02.580 --> 00:33:05.159 and he constantly like tell that story 00:33:05.159 --> 00:33:07.860 of Isis and Osiris but tell Benjamin 00:33:07.860 --> 00:33:10.260 Franklin and tell this and and when you 00:33:10.260 --> 00:33:12.179 tell science tell the story of the man 00:33:12.179 --> 00:33:13.860 who invented science and those of you 00:33:13.860 --> 00:33:15.440 who see the 00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:18.360 YouTube State Channel I often share 00:33:18.360 --> 00:33:20.340 moracetam yeah that's he always tells 00:33:20.340 --> 00:33:22.559 science by these great like what his guy 00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.019 was doing and and that's how you would 00:33:25.019 --> 00:33:27.120 tell science during that and then the 00:33:27.120 --> 00:33:30.179 philosophic and theoretic stage and then 00:33:30.179 --> 00:33:34.620 he says we're in is closely uh parallels 00:33:34.620 --> 00:33:37.200 made of modernism where they in the 00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:39.600 ironic or reflexive stage 00:33:39.600 --> 00:33:41.700 and then build another stage so 00:33:41.700 --> 00:33:44.519 basically what we see is not that we are 00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:46.320 here privileged to tell the story the 00:33:46.320 --> 00:33:49.260 origins the origin story and it's 00:33:49.260 --> 00:33:50.340 telling 00:33:50.340 --> 00:33:52.440 is the same thing 00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:57.179 and and so at each level at each at each 00:33:57.179 --> 00:34:01.019 new departure the same story is being 00:34:01.019 --> 00:34:04.080 told we're actually not telling any 00:34:04.080 --> 00:34:06.059 different story than the first story of 00:34:06.059 --> 00:34:08.339 movement and change 00:34:08.339 --> 00:34:09.119 um 00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:11.940 but as each of these new ways of telling 00:34:11.940 --> 00:34:14.099 the stories 00:34:14.099 --> 00:34:16.080 come through 00:34:16.080 --> 00:34:18.359 each other 00:34:18.359 --> 00:34:21.419 um then it just adds to the story 00:34:21.419 --> 00:34:25.440 and so never in history will you be at a 00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:26.879 point where you can tell the origin 00:34:26.879 --> 00:34:29.040 story 00:34:29.040 --> 00:34:31.619 the the origin story so this is the 00:34:31.619 --> 00:34:33.899 temporal thing we talked about right so 00:34:33.899 --> 00:34:34.679 like 00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:37.159 like 00:34:41.339 --> 00:34:43.619 yeah so 00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:46.200 my point is is that 00:34:46.200 --> 00:34:48.260 um 00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:52.619 it's not it's not trivial insignificant 00:34:52.619 --> 00:34:56.399 that these threads are coming together 00:34:56.399 --> 00:34:57.839 because 00:34:57.839 --> 00:35:00.119 that we've spent four hours I mean when 00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:02.099 madalina whatever she was channeling and 00:35:02.099 --> 00:35:04.020 then it became that thing and then I saw 00:35:04.020 --> 00:35:06.060 that thing and then you guys said this 00:35:06.060 --> 00:35:08.700 thing I mean there's something in 00:35:08.700 --> 00:35:12.060 this kind of practice that that 00:35:12.060 --> 00:35:15.740 works like that Raj 00:35:17.579 --> 00:35:20.220 thank you Bonnie I wonder then 00:35:20.220 --> 00:35:21.300 um 00:35:21.300 --> 00:35:23.820 but there's a couple of things are very 00:35:23.820 --> 00:35:26.460 powerful in this bit of the inquiry 00:35:26.460 --> 00:35:29.040 particularly you can't convert those 00:35:29.040 --> 00:35:31.980 people because they're not lost 00:35:31.980 --> 00:35:35.520 and so then I wonder if part of our 00:35:35.520 --> 00:35:36.720 um 00:35:36.720 --> 00:35:39.180 our confusion is actually believing that 00:35:39.180 --> 00:35:41.040 we are lost 00:35:41.040 --> 00:35:43.859 when in actuality we're not right but 00:35:43.859 --> 00:35:45.780 there's some confusion there 00:35:45.780 --> 00:35:48.900 and when I was in the practice with 00:35:48.900 --> 00:35:51.900 David and with Ray what occurred to me 00:35:51.900 --> 00:35:55.280 was that this is actually evoking 00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:57.200 multiple 00:35:57.200 --> 00:36:00.859 ways of knowing it's not just a rational 00:36:00.859 --> 00:36:02.420 language 00:36:02.420 --> 00:36:04.560 dichotomy but it's calling forth 00:36:04.560 --> 00:36:07.920 intuition it's calling forth somatic 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.020 it's calling forth emotions calling 00:36:10.020 --> 00:36:12.480 forth senses which is something that 00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:15.720 maybe we've forgotten 00:36:15.720 --> 00:36:17.579 um but anyway that's what occurs to me 00:36:17.579 --> 00:36:20.339 is I'm listening to you yeah and I think 00:36:20.339 --> 00:36:22.320 in the way you just put it you're right 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:25.619 in line with what the article said and 00:36:25.619 --> 00:36:29.880 that is he says but remember this is not 00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:32.220 a stage Theory it's not you're never 00:36:32.220 --> 00:36:34.680 done with the somatic you're never done 00:36:34.680 --> 00:36:36.540 and and 00:36:36.540 --> 00:36:39.119 um so he so he says so by the time 00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:40.619 you're in high school the high school 00:36:40.619 --> 00:36:44.520 teacher has to tell the story 00:36:44.520 --> 00:36:47.700 with a lot of somatic and to tell a hero 00:36:47.700 --> 00:36:50.160 story and then cap it off with the big 00:36:50.160 --> 00:36:52.440 picture story and then saying like the 00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:55.619 electron you know this is what it does 00:36:55.619 --> 00:36:58.619 um so it's actually the also the 00:36:58.619 --> 00:37:01.079 capacity the instructor 00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:03.540 is really important in this that they 00:37:03.540 --> 00:37:05.339 can Encompass 00:37:05.339 --> 00:37:06.900 um but then on the other hand he said 00:37:06.900 --> 00:37:09.480 but it sounds like the instructor has a 00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:13.079 lot to do but you're basically just 00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.020 triggering 00:37:16.020 --> 00:37:19.260 the cognitive tools of the of the of the 00:37:19.260 --> 00:37:21.780 person anyways you know and I love this 00:37:21.780 --> 00:37:24.960 because this is one of those like 00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:27.660 um a hidden in plain sight you know we 00:37:27.660 --> 00:37:29.280 go on and We complain that high school 00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:31.140 kids all they're interested in is like 00:37:31.140 --> 00:37:32.700 like 00:37:32.700 --> 00:37:33.960 um 00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:36.599 um oh like at one point he says in the 00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:38.579 Mythic the kids are interested in 00:37:38.579 --> 00:37:41.579 binaries right good they want good 00:37:41.579 --> 00:37:44.280 Heroes fighting with villains and they 00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:45.960 want you know 00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:49.820 um and then and so so then 00:37:49.820 --> 00:37:52.579 he says but doesn't this make them 00:37:52.579 --> 00:37:54.599 polarized and they're going to come you 00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:56.520 know become a polarized nation and he 00:37:56.520 --> 00:37:58.500 goes no because all the great binary 00:37:58.500 --> 00:37:59.640 stories 00:37:59.640 --> 00:38:02.099 they resolved attention at a higher 00:38:02.099 --> 00:38:06.300 level right so like the person 00:38:06.300 --> 00:38:07.920 who 00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:09.000 um 00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:11.700 he under there's always some kind of 00:38:11.700 --> 00:38:15.720 release like like Luke Skywalker's worst 00:38:15.720 --> 00:38:17.339 enemy is his father 00:38:17.339 --> 00:38:20.300 so now there's this this 00:38:20.300 --> 00:38:22.920 these stories they start with binaries 00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:24.720 because then in the head of the child 00:38:24.720 --> 00:38:27.359 they problematize the binary and so the 00:38:27.359 --> 00:38:29.180 head has to go 00:38:29.180 --> 00:38:32.520 what do I do with that you know and so 00:38:32.520 --> 00:38:36.960 he talks about you know uh when and he's 00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:40.680 like you know every great scientist was 00:38:40.680 --> 00:38:43.380 in philosopher they were scandalous like 00:38:43.380 --> 00:38:45.300 they had too many wives and this and 00:38:45.300 --> 00:38:47.220 that and he's like so if you told the 00:38:47.220 --> 00:38:49.800 story this way like kids the kids know 00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:52.560 when they're in the gossip stage there's 00:38:52.560 --> 00:38:54.420 something alive for them and then 00:38:54.420 --> 00:38:56.520 science becomes alive because they know 00:38:56.520 --> 00:38:58.740 that their parents lives are scandalous 00:38:58.740 --> 00:39:00.540 and their families lies are scandalous 00:39:00.540 --> 00:39:03.359 and they'll say well I'll never be a 00:39:03.359 --> 00:39:05.700 philosopher because they're not 00:39:05.700 --> 00:39:08.099 scandalous you know and I love this way 00:39:08.099 --> 00:39:10.380 of saying what's hidden in plain sight 00:39:10.380 --> 00:39:12.619 is 00:39:12.619 --> 00:39:16.680 the you know the the power and the 00:39:16.680 --> 00:39:18.839 potential that we have 00:39:18.839 --> 00:39:21.060 um so this was a review of the book I 00:39:21.060 --> 00:39:23.760 did buy the book so um 00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:27.359 um it's uh uh 00:39:27.359 --> 00:39:28.320 um 00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:31.440 the book is called 00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:34.020 um if you look in the notes I think I 00:39:34.020 --> 00:39:38.940 wrote uh it's like a 100 page review uh 00:39:38.940 --> 00:39:42.660 um the book itself I I think the pop-up 00:39:42.660 --> 00:39:45.359 school notes and it's it says astral 00:39:45.359 --> 00:39:47.220 code codex 00:39:47.220 --> 00:39:50.520 10 has this book review 00:39:50.520 --> 00:39:53.160 competition in a book this one the book 00:39:53.160 --> 00:39:55.380 review competition but the actual book 00:39:55.380 --> 00:39:58.640 is by 00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:04.560 yeah so Magdalena put this the the 00:40:04.560 --> 00:40:05.760 um 00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:08.820 link to the book review 00:40:08.820 --> 00:40:12.300 and the book is called the educated mind 00:40:12.300 --> 00:40:13.800 Eagan 00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:17.640 uh last name Egan first name Karen Irish 00:40:17.640 --> 00:40:20.640 k-i-e-r-a-n 00:40:21.180 --> 00:40:23.180 um 00:40:24.900 --> 00:40:26.760 you know and none of these people are 00:40:26.760 --> 00:40:29.520 talking about origin stories but yeah 00:40:29.520 --> 00:40:31.680 this way of 00:40:31.680 --> 00:40:34.320 this way of sourcing a question and 00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:39.240 being obsessed with it and and then like 00:40:39.240 --> 00:40:43.200 whatever's coming at you in uh Insight 00:40:43.200 --> 00:40:45.359 practice or in the world it just keeps 00:40:45.359 --> 00:40:49.040 building these questions 00:40:49.380 --> 00:40:52.400 something like that Holly 00:40:54.540 --> 00:40:56.700 yeah so I was in a breakout room with 00:40:56.700 --> 00:40:58.980 eche and mad 00:40:58.980 --> 00:41:01.619 and mad was talking about 00:41:01.619 --> 00:41:03.780 um her experience of having just sort of 00:41:03.780 --> 00:41:05.460 tears come from the last Insight 00:41:05.460 --> 00:41:07.980 practice and I had a similar experience 00:41:07.980 --> 00:41:09.960 as well 00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:11.520 um and I find that happens actually a 00:41:11.520 --> 00:41:14.220 lot like the sort of wave of of grief 00:41:14.220 --> 00:41:17.160 will just sort of hit with no no story 00:41:17.160 --> 00:41:18.300 to it 00:41:18.300 --> 00:41:19.859 um just the body sort of working 00:41:19.859 --> 00:41:22.680 something out and then as David was 00:41:22.680 --> 00:41:26.040 talking and Ray about sort of the Gap 00:41:26.040 --> 00:41:27.599 um I was just thinking about all of our 00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:29.040 organ stories 00:41:29.040 --> 00:41:31.800 um of coming into this world 00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:33.060 um that we all come into this world 00:41:33.060 --> 00:41:35.160 crying that we all come in Born 00:41:35.160 --> 00:41:38.339 screaming our heads off 00:41:38.339 --> 00:41:39.900 um and that there's maybe something 00:41:39.900 --> 00:41:41.280 there 00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:43.800 um about lament or grief 00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:47.160 um as our roles as human beings 00:41:47.160 --> 00:41:48.000 um 00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:52.099 yeah that's all I want to share 00:41:59.220 --> 00:42:02.400 yeah and and like I said I 00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:04.320 I've kind of thrown you into a brutal 00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:06.599 version of it but we did and it's 00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:08.520 important if you're doing this to let 00:42:08.520 --> 00:42:10.619 people know that 00:42:10.619 --> 00:42:13.280 you see 00:42:14.540 --> 00:42:17.160 conversation is our way of releasing 00:42:17.160 --> 00:42:19.680 social anxiety and social enthusi 00:42:19.680 --> 00:42:22.079 enthusiasm but also personal anxiety 00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:25.140 it's very hard for us to 00:42:25.140 --> 00:42:29.160 ask the body to cultivate the question 00:42:29.160 --> 00:42:32.099 um and and 00:42:32.099 --> 00:42:34.800 um what happens in people's bodies are 00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:37.740 different permutations 00:42:37.740 --> 00:42:38.339 um 00:42:38.339 --> 00:42:42.599 um and they all are all the permutations 00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:45.420 are relevant to the question 00:42:45.420 --> 00:42:48.240 um it's just the 00:42:48.240 --> 00:42:51.119 path the the body and then the 00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:52.619 collective body is going to take to 00:42:52.619 --> 00:42:54.599 something that feels like a resolution 00:42:54.599 --> 00:42:57.599 which then would feel very liberating 00:42:57.599 --> 00:42:59.160 yeah 00:42:59.160 --> 00:43:01.160 um 00:43:10.560 --> 00:43:14.060 but that's that's 00:43:18.420 --> 00:43:21.180 uh something that 00:43:21.180 --> 00:43:23.040 um took us when we were doing the first 00:43:23.040 --> 00:43:25.680 experience experiments a long time to 00:43:25.680 --> 00:43:27.920 understand 00:43:28.020 --> 00:43:30.079 um 00:43:30.900 --> 00:43:33.720 so this group is more sophisticated uh 00:43:33.720 --> 00:43:36.000 if you do it in other groups people 00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:37.619 start 00:43:37.619 --> 00:43:39.619 um 00:43:40.020 --> 00:43:41.819 someone says something and then they 00:43:41.819 --> 00:43:43.619 take it the wrong way because they're 00:43:43.619 --> 00:43:45.900 already frustrated so that they pinged 00:43:45.900 --> 00:43:47.520 off of instead of us 00:43:47.520 --> 00:43:50.160 slightly pinging off of things 00:43:50.160 --> 00:43:52.440 there are there are bodies already in a 00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:55.339 habit of being frustrated or 00:43:55.339 --> 00:43:57.540 anticipatory sometimes too and then it 00:43:57.540 --> 00:44:01.560 pings off of that it and so so 00:44:01.560 --> 00:44:03.660 um uh 00:44:03.660 --> 00:44:06.960 people get confused because they kind of 00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:09.020 um 00:44:10.859 --> 00:44:12.960 then they they then you understand the 00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:14.520 difference between when you get pinged 00:44:14.520 --> 00:44:16.859 like that versus what JJ said like 00:44:16.859 --> 00:44:19.020 something opened up for him and it was 00:44:19.020 --> 00:44:21.599 like he could it was like an Insight 00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:25.319 that wasn't presencing itself yet 00:44:25.319 --> 00:44:27.720 um and sometimes it happens on an 00:44:27.720 --> 00:44:29.880 individual basis and 00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:31.700 um yeah so 00:44:31.700 --> 00:44:35.099 these are these are just oh man they're 00:44:35.099 --> 00:44:38.760 in Italy they're drinking wine it's 00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:40.200 probably like 00:44:40.200 --> 00:44:42.660 real Italian wine 00:44:42.660 --> 00:44:44.640 and 00:44:44.640 --> 00:44:47.359 you know 00:44:47.579 --> 00:44:50.280 salute 00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:53.060 Sandra 00:44:55.500 --> 00:45:00.920 Ray where are you when I need you 00:45:01.319 --> 00:45:06.000 so this is a kind of a messy 00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:09.359 uh a lot of different things 00:45:09.359 --> 00:45:10.560 um 00:45:10.560 --> 00:45:14.160 in a in our conversation actually Holly 00:45:14.160 --> 00:45:15.300 we 00:45:15.300 --> 00:45:17.220 were 00:45:17.220 --> 00:45:21.060 talking about birth and 00:45:21.060 --> 00:45:22.200 um 00:45:22.200 --> 00:45:25.020 and Trauma and 00:45:25.020 --> 00:45:27.180 what 00:45:27.180 --> 00:45:29.760 what that moment 00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:33.420 of birthing is about as 00:45:33.420 --> 00:45:36.000 you know obviously it's not the origin 00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.940 at one level but it's 00:45:38.940 --> 00:45:40.730 An Origin in a way 00:45:40.730 --> 00:45:41.339 [Music] 00:45:41.339 --> 00:45:42.839 um 00:45:42.839 --> 00:45:44.220 and 00:45:44.220 --> 00:45:46.619 just anecdotally 00:45:46.619 --> 00:45:49.740 my babies didn't cry when they came in 00:45:49.740 --> 00:45:52.640 they looked around 00:45:53.040 --> 00:45:56.099 they took a breath and just 00:45:56.099 --> 00:45:58.940 looked around 00:45:59.099 --> 00:46:01.200 but they were home so I don't know if 00:46:01.200 --> 00:46:02.760 that made a difference and I think 00:46:02.760 --> 00:46:04.680 that's you know that whole like hold 00:46:04.680 --> 00:46:07.260 them upside down and like whack them on 00:46:07.260 --> 00:46:08.760 the butt 00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:13.319 not necessary at all 00:46:13.319 --> 00:46:15.180 um 00:46:15.180 --> 00:46:18.420 and going back to Rey and the 00:46:18.420 --> 00:46:21.060 oscillation and 00:46:21.060 --> 00:46:22.800 um 00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:26.040 the Gap and sort of this 00:46:26.040 --> 00:46:29.760 question of what is this process doing 00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:32.839 in US 00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:37.920 yesterday I did my usual practice and my 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:39.780 breathing practice and then I was just 00:46:39.780 --> 00:46:41.460 kind of 00:46:41.460 --> 00:46:45.260 lying on the Earth and 00:46:45.260 --> 00:46:49.700 having this experience of 00:46:49.700 --> 00:46:52.980 prefrontal cortex activity behind my 00:46:52.980 --> 00:46:55.380 eyes like I did in our 00:46:55.380 --> 00:46:58.319 presencing on Thursday and then this 00:46:58.319 --> 00:46:59.540 other 00:46:59.540 --> 00:47:03.180 deeper kind of 00:47:03.180 --> 00:47:05.520 movement 00:47:05.520 --> 00:47:07.980 around my navel and 00:47:07.980 --> 00:47:10.980 um belly 00:47:10.980 --> 00:47:15.660 and the familiarity of all of the 00:47:15.660 --> 00:47:18.960 narrative that is assembled seemingly 00:47:18.960 --> 00:47:21.060 right here 00:47:21.060 --> 00:47:25.260 almost so predictable every storyline 00:47:25.260 --> 00:47:27.960 has been told a thousand times to either 00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:30.619 defend or explain or 00:47:30.619 --> 00:47:32.660 blame or 00:47:32.660 --> 00:47:36.240 uh you know reduce my own agency 00:47:36.240 --> 00:47:38.880 whatever whatever it is they're all 00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:42.180 almost pre-fabricated like chat GPT 00:47:42.180 --> 00:47:44.220 would be 00:47:44.220 --> 00:47:46.920 typing away 00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:50.579 and it was a very pronounced like 00:47:50.579 --> 00:47:56.240 physical experience and then this deep 00:47:59.720 --> 00:48:03.180 fluid liquid silence that had a whole 00:48:03.180 --> 00:48:04.980 other 00:48:04.980 --> 00:48:08.880 nameless quality to it 00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:12.000 and there's there's the this and the 00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:16.339 that just inside my own body 00:48:17.640 --> 00:48:19.440 you were up 00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:22.099 Socrates 00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:27.240 I told that story about wanting to get 00:48:27.240 --> 00:48:29.099 rid of The Ledger 00:48:29.099 --> 00:48:30.599 what's up 00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:32.760 when I was that was what was happening 00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:35.880 to me like my head would just want to 00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:39.119 explode because I would not let it take 00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:41.880 that habit like it was just and this is 00:48:41.880 --> 00:48:42.900 very 00:48:42.900 --> 00:48:45.839 it's kind of like in the movies where 00:48:45.839 --> 00:48:47.579 you can't do this and you can you see 00:48:47.579 --> 00:48:51.660 like this this shock wave it's very 00:48:51.660 --> 00:48:54.119 physical because basically 00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:57.060 we know that mental phenomenon are 00:48:57.060 --> 00:49:02.220 movements and you're starting to 00:49:02.220 --> 00:49:04.440 um at first you just breathe and release 00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:06.359 it but you're starting to be serious 00:49:06.359 --> 00:49:11.099 about no you're not doing that and and 00:49:11.099 --> 00:49:13.339 and and and 00:49:13.339 --> 00:49:16.339 it it's it's 00:49:16.339 --> 00:49:18.859 doing it like 00:49:18.859 --> 00:49:23.819 this because you're a squeaky and and 00:49:23.819 --> 00:49:28.020 um so I find that to be similar to uh my 00:49:28.020 --> 00:49:29.400 own experience in other people's 00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:31.380 experiences 00:49:31.380 --> 00:49:33.900 um so 00:49:33.900 --> 00:49:35.880 um 00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:39.599 yeah I mean it's it's it's 00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:42.000 interesting because it doesn't have a 00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:45.020 lot it's not like a 00:49:46.220 --> 00:49:48.720 just explain to people what she's not 00:49:48.720 --> 00:49:51.000 talking about is like a disorienting 00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:53.339 psychological psychedelic phenomenon 00:49:53.339 --> 00:49:56.880 it's it's actually extremely physical 00:49:56.880 --> 00:49:58.500 um kind of like when if you take 00:49:58.500 --> 00:49:59.640 Ayahuasca and they tell you you're gonna 00:49:59.640 --> 00:50:02.160 vomit and then you vomit it's just 00:50:02.160 --> 00:50:03.599 vomiting 00:50:03.599 --> 00:50:04.200 um 00:50:04.200 --> 00:50:10.260 um but it's it's a very uh it's a you 00:50:10.260 --> 00:50:13.619 know it's a very good marker of 00:50:13.619 --> 00:50:15.680 um 00:50:17.339 --> 00:50:19.680 yeah that you're letting your body think 00:50:19.680 --> 00:50:21.660 and then your mind is the canvas on 00:50:21.660 --> 00:50:24.140 which it allows you as 00:50:24.140 --> 00:50:30.120 Sandra to read out the output 00:50:30.120 --> 00:50:30.720 [Music] 00:50:30.720 --> 00:50:31.380 um 00:50:31.380 --> 00:50:32.880 yeah 00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:37.380 I used to get REM like like crazy and 00:50:37.380 --> 00:50:39.839 and you could tell it comes from the the 00:50:39.839 --> 00:50:43.020 this part of the brain that but your 00:50:43.020 --> 00:50:45.720 brain isn't thinking it's just it's yeah 00:50:45.720 --> 00:50:48.599 you're not allowing it to to make the 00:50:48.599 --> 00:50:51.300 sentences but it's still it's still 00:50:51.300 --> 00:50:54.059 trying to run the show until that's 00:50:54.059 --> 00:50:56.220 that's the end of it this is actually 00:50:56.220 --> 00:50:59.099 why we 00:50:59.099 --> 00:51:01.380 have this methodology for Collective 00:51:01.380 --> 00:51:03.480 Insight practice 00:51:03.480 --> 00:51:04.619 um 00:51:04.619 --> 00:51:07.880 cool AJ 00:51:10.140 --> 00:51:13.020 um my brain is doing that I think right 00:51:13.020 --> 00:51:14.720 now and 00:51:14.720 --> 00:51:17.520 so uh 00:51:17.520 --> 00:51:19.140 so then 00:51:19.140 --> 00:51:21.359 I'm just describing the process I'm 00:51:21.359 --> 00:51:24.059 allowing myself then to speak it because 00:51:24.059 --> 00:51:28.079 maybe it is wanting to be spoken and 00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:29.400 it's Collective 00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:31.020 maybe that's not the right 00:51:31.020 --> 00:51:33.780 interpretation but 00:51:33.780 --> 00:51:37.079 I'm gonna go for it 00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:38.579 um 00:51:38.579 --> 00:51:41.400 what's going on in me is since the very 00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:44.000 beginning I'm like collecting the words 00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:46.800 I just can't help do this all the time 00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:51.359 I'm like I know the topic I I'm like oh 00:51:51.359 --> 00:51:54.000 okay I'm putting original uh the body 00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:57.000 together I know dance I found the answer 00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:00.619 already I like I know yes 00:52:02.520 --> 00:52:06.540 um between Holly and I we have it uh 00:52:06.540 --> 00:52:09.420 but I said what she said 00:52:09.420 --> 00:52:10.280 um 00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:14.099 and uh then what I'm noticing is what 00:52:14.099 --> 00:52:16.319 you're doing here Barney 00:52:16.319 --> 00:52:19.319 is not even about 00:52:19.319 --> 00:52:22.099 the answer to the origin of the bunny 00:52:22.099 --> 00:52:26.099 it's it's uh you did say this to me back 00:52:26.099 --> 00:52:28.079 in the day that 00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:28.859 um 00:52:28.859 --> 00:52:32.339 you said something to the effect of you 00:52:32.339 --> 00:52:35.099 actually use these words you said saying 00:52:35.099 --> 00:52:38.220 something without saying it and 00:52:38.220 --> 00:52:40.079 so you're you're just dropping 00:52:40.079 --> 00:52:43.319 breadcrumbs it feels like that we're 00:52:43.319 --> 00:52:45.960 like percolating in and then this 00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:47.400 Collective insight 00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:50.960 process is really 00:52:52.500 --> 00:52:55.140 it's just it is an exercise in another 00:52:55.140 --> 00:52:56.700 way of being 00:52:56.700 --> 00:52:59.700 foreign 00:53:03.319 --> 00:53:06.720 this releases something in me while it 00:53:06.720 --> 00:53:08.099 also frustrates 00:53:08.099 --> 00:53:10.859 because my orientation is to solve the 00:53:10.859 --> 00:53:13.920 problem and and to find the answer and 00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:16.500 to speak and to say come on like don't 00:53:16.500 --> 00:53:19.260 you don't you get it 00:53:19.260 --> 00:53:22.380 we're not lost like Raj was saying you 00:53:22.380 --> 00:53:24.480 know we're not lost like we know 00:53:24.480 --> 00:53:29.700 actually what's going on uh versus uh a 00:53:29.700 --> 00:53:31.380 process of 00:53:31.380 --> 00:53:32.960 uh 00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:36.780 exercising a whole other way of being 00:53:36.780 --> 00:53:40.740 in the gaps that we have between each 00:53:40.740 --> 00:53:41.540 other 00:53:41.540 --> 00:53:46.140 the the gaps that allow life the gaps 00:53:46.140 --> 00:53:47.339 that allow 00:53:47.339 --> 00:53:51.240 this kind of relationality 00:53:51.240 --> 00:53:53.359 um 00:53:53.400 --> 00:53:56.540 yeah I just 00:53:59.040 --> 00:54:02.160 um yeah and it's disorienting so I 00:54:02.160 --> 00:54:06.000 wanted to speak it because it's going in 00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:07.980 yeah 00:54:07.980 --> 00:54:10.520 okay 00:54:40.680 --> 00:54:42.660 if only you had once said that you know 00:54:42.660 --> 00:54:44.280 we're swimming in language like fish are 00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:46.680 swimming in in an ocean and I'm 00:54:46.680 --> 00:54:48.599 wondering if you think it's possible to 00:54:48.599 --> 00:54:51.500 swim in something else 00:54:55.200 --> 00:54:56.579 yeah so 00:54:56.579 --> 00:54:59.000 so um 00:55:13.020 --> 00:55:15.780 I mean I it's definitely possible 00:55:15.780 --> 00:55:19.559 whether it is the 00:55:19.559 --> 00:55:23.160 all the actual trajectory of humanity 00:55:23.160 --> 00:55:26.339 that as a whole 00:55:26.339 --> 00:55:28.460 um 00:55:29.040 --> 00:55:31.619 is 00:55:31.619 --> 00:55:33.740 um 00:55:33.900 --> 00:55:36.619 probably 00:55:37.140 --> 00:55:39.720 I don't know not the case I mean every 00:55:39.720 --> 00:55:42.540 time I think like so we have like chat 00:55:42.540 --> 00:55:44.819 GPT and 00:55:44.819 --> 00:55:47.040 um you would imagine that this would 00:55:47.040 --> 00:55:49.260 exhaust 00:55:49.260 --> 00:55:51.660 you see part of part of these kinds of 00:55:51.660 --> 00:55:54.240 practices is try to exhaust 00:55:54.240 --> 00:55:57.960 the the monkey mind let's say or the 00:55:57.960 --> 00:55:59.940 discursive mind or the dialogical mind 00:55:59.940 --> 00:56:02.339 or whatever 00:56:02.339 --> 00:56:06.420 um and you and so what Sandra was was 00:56:06.420 --> 00:56:09.780 describing was that you know some some 00:56:09.780 --> 00:56:13.220 of the physical 00:56:13.619 --> 00:56:17.579 experience of of finally decoupling from 00:56:17.579 --> 00:56:19.680 this this 00:56:19.680 --> 00:56:22.440 organ this organ in the way it works 00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:25.559 today so you never lose your mind it 00:56:25.559 --> 00:56:27.839 actually does cool cool things for you 00:56:27.839 --> 00:56:31.200 it can it just doesn't do these scripts 00:56:31.200 --> 00:56:33.900 and this stuff 00:56:33.900 --> 00:56:36.180 um so 00:56:36.180 --> 00:56:38.540 um but 00:56:38.540 --> 00:56:42.300 there's always I always wonder like how 00:56:42.300 --> 00:56:47.099 much can humanity take like like we are 00:56:47.099 --> 00:56:49.680 uh so we're swimming in language and now 00:56:49.680 --> 00:56:51.720 we have GPT and then that's going to be 00:56:51.720 --> 00:56:53.760 language and then 00:56:53.760 --> 00:56:55.800 um there's a chance that like this whole 00:56:55.800 --> 00:56:58.319 trajectory will exhaust that human mind 00:56:58.319 --> 00:57:00.540 at a certain point anyways you know what 00:57:00.540 --> 00:57:02.940 I mean I it's just it's just amazing to 00:57:02.940 --> 00:57:04.500 me how much 00:57:04.500 --> 00:57:07.260 the human system can endure it's just 00:57:07.260 --> 00:57:09.300 it's just 00:57:09.300 --> 00:57:11.400 um yeah 00:57:11.400 --> 00:57:13.500 um and so in that case 00:57:13.500 --> 00:57:15.900 um instead of this trajectory if you 00:57:15.900 --> 00:57:18.480 watched my conversation with Soria that 00:57:18.480 --> 00:57:20.579 was the one of the first points I made 00:57:20.579 --> 00:57:25.760 it's like we we go from you know 00:57:26.099 --> 00:57:30.300 oral to text to technology these all 00:57:30.300 --> 00:57:32.339 have been they're on the same trajectory 00:57:32.339 --> 00:57:35.720 they all seem to have the same 00:57:35.720 --> 00:57:38.760 bad code in them 00:57:38.760 --> 00:57:41.579 um so how can we get off that trajectory 00:57:41.579 --> 00:57:44.940 and move orthogonal to something new 00:57:44.940 --> 00:57:48.839 um what would be we be swimming in then 00:57:48.839 --> 00:57:52.380 um I suppose it would be something new 00:57:52.380 --> 00:57:53.640 um 00:57:53.640 --> 00:57:57.119 I don't know but it it also could be you 00:57:57.119 --> 00:57:59.160 know if we if we think about the whole 00:57:59.160 --> 00:58:01.140 Human Experience a psychedelic you know 00:58:01.140 --> 00:58:03.660 the Psychedelic self it might not be 00:58:03.660 --> 00:58:06.480 something entirely new it might be how 00:58:06.480 --> 00:58:08.880 the Psychedelic self just takes what you 00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:11.460 have self-otherm world and rearranges it 00:58:11.460 --> 00:58:14.579 right so it could be something like that 00:58:14.579 --> 00:58:16.859 that it's not entirely new but the the 00:58:16.859 --> 00:58:19.440 whole structure gets recomposed 00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:21.599 differently 00:58:21.599 --> 00:58:23.720 um 00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:25.380 um so that 00:58:25.380 --> 00:58:27.540 language is 00:58:27.540 --> 00:58:29.900 uh 00:58:29.900 --> 00:58:33.440 transparent to 00:58:34.380 --> 00:58:37.980 to the question not seen as the solution 00:58:37.980 --> 00:58:39.900 to the question I mean this is kind of 00:58:39.900 --> 00:58:43.079 what we've been doing that we 00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:45.359 when we talk about epistemic complex 00:58:45.359 --> 00:58:48.599 constraints to the question we're making 00:58:48.599 --> 00:58:49.880 language 00:58:49.880 --> 00:58:52.740 transparent to the question we're not 00:58:52.740 --> 00:58:54.960 just diving in 00:58:54.960 --> 00:58:57.599 to our ideas and working double down 00:58:57.599 --> 00:59:00.240 let's just double down on our Concepts 00:59:00.240 --> 00:59:01.740 and work harder 00:59:01.740 --> 00:59:04.440 okay and that that would be like a meta 00:59:04.440 --> 00:59:06.900 systemic complexity until you get these 00:59:06.900 --> 00:59:11.160 very big large sophisticated 00:59:11.160 --> 00:59:13.799 um conceptual structures we're we're not 00:59:13.799 --> 00:59:16.200 doing that 00:59:16.200 --> 00:59:18.299 um interestingly I mean 00:59:18.299 --> 00:59:23.819 it's also true for other very abstract 00:59:23.819 --> 00:59:26.099 um Pursuits like 00:59:26.099 --> 00:59:28.500 um I spend a lot of time watching and 00:59:28.500 --> 00:59:31.799 thinking about Chess and you know the 00:59:31.799 --> 00:59:33.839 top chess players yeah they're great 00:59:33.839 --> 00:59:35.700 calculators and they have great memories 00:59:35.700 --> 00:59:39.240 but at a certain point 00:59:39.240 --> 00:59:41.299 um 00:59:41.339 --> 00:59:43.760 they just they just are pattern 00:59:43.760 --> 00:59:46.079 recognizers and they just it's just a 00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:48.299 feeling they get this feels better than 00:59:48.299 --> 00:59:49.200 that 00:59:49.200 --> 00:59:52.880 and blah blah blah blah and and so 00:59:52.880 --> 00:59:56.099 there's there's a lot of Science in the 00:59:56.099 --> 00:59:57.960 fact that 00:59:57.960 --> 01:00:01.319 um the feeling body the body that thinks 01:00:01.319 --> 01:00:04.740 through things thinks as the body is a 01:00:04.740 --> 01:00:07.619 much more powerful engine uh than we can 01:00:07.619 --> 01:00:10.319 imagine and 01:00:10.319 --> 01:00:12.440 um 01:00:13.980 --> 01:00:16.859 and could the human identity let's say 01:00:16.859 --> 01:00:18.299 swim in that 01:00:18.299 --> 01:00:20.960 and then have language be 01:00:20.960 --> 01:00:24.299 kind of accidental to that experience 01:00:24.299 --> 01:00:27.480 rather than language constraining the 01:00:27.480 --> 01:00:30.000 experience of your body I mean think 01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:33.180 about gender dysmorphia is language a 01:00:33.180 --> 01:00:35.220 social construction constraining your 01:00:35.220 --> 01:00:37.920 relationship to your own body it's so 01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:40.760 upside down 01:00:41.040 --> 01:00:44.180 so upside down 01:00:46.020 --> 01:00:47.900 Kevin 01:00:47.900 --> 01:00:50.220 that's how you finished did you have a 01:00:50.220 --> 01:00:53.700 follow-up Holly no Kevin 01:00:53.700 --> 01:00:56.700 yeah I'm wondering what you think about 01:00:56.700 --> 01:00:58.680 um 01:00:58.680 --> 01:01:02.099 like maybe bilingual children or just 01:01:02.099 --> 01:01:02.819 like 01:01:02.819 --> 01:01:04.859 you know because I think it's easy you 01:01:04.859 --> 01:01:06.599 know children at a certain age it's 01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:07.799 easier for them to learn multiple 01:01:07.799 --> 01:01:09.299 languages because of that 01:01:09.299 --> 01:01:12.240 neuroplasticity and I'm wondering 01:01:12.240 --> 01:01:13.799 um 01:01:13.799 --> 01:01:15.660 if like you know they kind of so they 01:01:15.660 --> 01:01:17.520 kind of exist in this pre-language state 01:01:17.520 --> 01:01:19.260 and I wonder if like 01:01:19.260 --> 01:01:21.660 you know having two different sort of 01:01:21.660 --> 01:01:23.819 language reality filters 01:01:23.819 --> 01:01:25.859 that they grow up in 01:01:25.859 --> 01:01:28.680 like possibly provides them with like 01:01:28.680 --> 01:01:32.400 more access to that like pre-language 01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:34.559 Consciousness just because I would 01:01:34.559 --> 01:01:37.200 imagine like if yeah you know 01:01:37.200 --> 01:01:39.180 hypothetically like a child raised on 01:01:39.180 --> 01:01:42.359 one language they kind of get more like 01:01:42.359 --> 01:01:43.980 stuck in that kind of language as 01:01:43.980 --> 01:01:45.780 reality 01:01:45.780 --> 01:01:47.400 um versus like a bilingual child child 01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:49.920 they kind of see how like oh yeah 01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:52.559 Spanish is different than English in 01:01:52.559 --> 01:01:54.119 this way or German is whatever different 01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:55.020 than 01:01:55.020 --> 01:01:56.700 and then I wonder if that provides more 01:01:56.700 --> 01:01:58.380 possibilities in the future to like kind 01:01:58.380 --> 01:02:00.660 of access this like oh language or 01:02:00.660 --> 01:02:04.319 narrative business big universal truth 01:02:04.319 --> 01:02:06.420 um and then even like that could be 01:02:06.420 --> 01:02:08.819 applied to other abstract ways of 01:02:08.819 --> 01:02:12.059 thinking that are not just language like 01:02:12.059 --> 01:02:12.720 um 01:02:12.720 --> 01:02:15.180 like you know mathematics alongside 01:02:15.180 --> 01:02:16.920 language 01:02:16.920 --> 01:02:19.799 like when I was in a breakout room with 01:02:19.799 --> 01:02:21.720 um Katie and jolt and well Samuel too 01:02:21.720 --> 01:02:24.180 but when Joe was speaking he kind of I I 01:02:24.180 --> 01:02:26.220 noticed like 01:02:26.220 --> 01:02:28.079 the he kind of speaks in like a 01:02:28.079 --> 01:02:30.240 mathematical structure 01:02:30.240 --> 01:02:32.700 or not another way he speaks like the 01:02:32.700 --> 01:02:34.980 way he used like the analogy is like 01:02:34.980 --> 01:02:36.900 in the kind of same way that I did when 01:02:36.900 --> 01:02:38.760 I talked about when I brought up my 01:02:38.760 --> 01:02:41.400 experience of like having a cluster 01:02:41.400 --> 01:02:43.500 like a constellation of verbs and then 01:02:43.500 --> 01:02:46.260 he said like oh I'm like making a cue to 01:02:46.260 --> 01:02:47.280 like 01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:49.680 it I don't know but like it feels like 01:02:49.680 --> 01:02:51.900 you know mathematics can kind of it's a 01:02:51.900 --> 01:02:53.940 different it organizes a reality in kind 01:02:53.940 --> 01:02:56.280 of a different structured abstract way 01:02:56.280 --> 01:02:58.319 than a language does so I'm wondering 01:02:58.319 --> 01:03:00.960 like if this and I think so that that 01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:03.359 Eagan book you reviewed I I happen to 01:03:03.359 --> 01:03:06.000 read it like last year and it kind of 01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:08.339 yeah it kind of I think that's kind of 01:03:08.339 --> 01:03:09.599 what he's getting at with his like 01:03:09.599 --> 01:03:11.880 ironic understanding it's like you kind 01:03:11.880 --> 01:03:15.020 of get these more philosophies this 01:03:15.020 --> 01:03:17.579 philosophical understandings and then 01:03:17.579 --> 01:03:19.380 the ironic you know you kind of like 01:03:19.380 --> 01:03:21.180 play these philosophical systems against 01:03:21.180 --> 01:03:23.460 each other and 01:03:23.460 --> 01:03:24.900 um I'm wondering if that kind of 01:03:24.900 --> 01:03:27.180 different different modes of abstract 01:03:27.180 --> 01:03:29.160 thinking can kind of help you 01:03:29.160 --> 01:03:31.559 achieve that yeah everything you're 01:03:31.559 --> 01:03:35.280 saying is definitely what up the upshot 01:03:35.280 --> 01:03:38.819 of what Ivan is is saying and 01:03:38.819 --> 01:03:41.040 um just to expand a little more in your 01:03:41.040 --> 01:03:43.980 question so what he's saying is yes does 01:03:43.980 --> 01:03:45.900 a certain phase when children learn 01:03:45.900 --> 01:03:49.920 language uh really well he says there's 01:03:49.920 --> 01:03:53.160 the the the fallacy in education today 01:03:53.160 --> 01:03:56.640 is we think children are like adults 01:03:56.640 --> 01:03:59.099 it's just everything all the skill sets 01:03:59.099 --> 01:04:02.579 are diminished right so so EV here's an 01:04:02.579 --> 01:04:04.380 adult and here's a child it's the same 01:04:04.380 --> 01:04:07.380 template but less less inclined for all 01:04:07.380 --> 01:04:08.960 of these things and he's saying no 01:04:08.960 --> 01:04:12.900 there's times in childhood when these 01:04:12.900 --> 01:04:17.280 skills come online and they outperform 01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:20.400 I think I I put it in the notes as a as 01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:23.160 a reply like the 01:04:23.160 --> 01:04:26.400 the amount of uh loss of capacity 01:04:26.400 --> 01:04:27.960 between a three-year-old the 01:04:27.960 --> 01:04:29.940 six-year-old an 11 year old under with 01:04:29.940 --> 01:04:32.579 certain skills is dramatic in a very 01:04:32.579 --> 01:04:34.680 short time they completely lose these 01:04:34.680 --> 01:04:37.079 skills and this comes from the fact that 01:04:37.079 --> 01:04:38.880 people don't understand that this is 01:04:38.880 --> 01:04:41.700 like a superpower in a very narrow 01:04:41.700 --> 01:04:44.520 window of time and so instead of trying 01:04:44.520 --> 01:04:45.720 to teach 01:04:45.720 --> 01:04:48.839 everything an adult knows but like at a 01:04:48.839 --> 01:04:52.680 lesser kind of level of reality we 01:04:52.680 --> 01:04:56.000 should augment this 01:04:56.000 --> 01:04:59.819 god-given stage where 01:04:59.819 --> 01:05:02.520 um you can make the most of this that's 01:05:02.520 --> 01:05:05.940 also the naturally arising interest of 01:05:05.940 --> 01:05:08.819 the child okay so they're making up 01:05:08.819 --> 01:05:11.400 they're learning to speak so all these 01:05:11.400 --> 01:05:14.880 mechanisms because all these mechanisms 01:05:14.880 --> 01:05:17.220 are like really 01:05:17.220 --> 01:05:19.319 firing right now 01:05:19.319 --> 01:05:23.579 and so what happens when you instead of 01:05:23.579 --> 01:05:25.500 saying okay here's a child he's an 01:05:25.500 --> 01:05:27.540 English-speaking child let's just have 01:05:27.540 --> 01:05:29.760 them learn to speak but it won't be as 01:05:29.760 --> 01:05:33.680 complex as a what what if we gave him 01:05:33.680 --> 01:05:35.819 the same book in three different 01:05:35.819 --> 01:05:38.160 languages with the same pictures 01:05:38.160 --> 01:05:41.040 now this would be hard for an adult to 01:05:41.040 --> 01:05:42.960 do so you wouldn't think of doing that 01:05:42.960 --> 01:05:44.640 but actually 01:05:44.640 --> 01:05:46.859 they just assume you know I mean they 01:05:46.859 --> 01:05:49.380 don't live in maybe a Sanskrit speaking 01:05:49.380 --> 01:05:51.599 but what if it was like a Sanskrit text 01:05:51.599 --> 01:05:54.119 a different culture translated and wrote 01:05:54.119 --> 01:05:58.799 they could easily start to see the the 01:05:58.799 --> 01:06:00.000 different 01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:02.460 um words and semantics and stuff like 01:06:02.460 --> 01:06:04.500 that it'd be easier for them because 01:06:04.500 --> 01:06:06.720 that's what they can do at that stage 01:06:06.720 --> 01:06:09.000 and if we imagine if I imagine myself 01:06:09.000 --> 01:06:11.940 doing it they like you know 01:06:11.940 --> 01:06:15.359 look forget that it's because I would be 01:06:15.359 --> 01:06:17.339 trying to transliterate everything you 01:06:17.339 --> 01:06:19.319 know there's certain capacities we have 01:06:19.319 --> 01:06:23.180 that get cold so then 01:06:24.240 --> 01:06:26.819 um it's not only obviously they might 01:06:26.819 --> 01:06:29.579 just eventually being be fluent only in 01:06:29.579 --> 01:06:32.579 one language but something has some 01:06:32.579 --> 01:06:35.400 template of the human capacity has 01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:37.859 really been augmented 01:06:37.859 --> 01:06:40.500 um in ways that then 01:06:40.500 --> 01:06:44.640 um will be helpful helpful later so yeah 01:06:44.640 --> 01:06:46.680 you're absolutely right in what you're 01:06:46.680 --> 01:06:48.599 saying and 01:06:48.599 --> 01:06:50.880 um uh 01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:53.940 this is easier to do in bilingual or 01:06:53.940 --> 01:06:56.400 trilingual households obviously because 01:06:56.400 --> 01:06:59.579 because now you have that cognitive 01:06:59.579 --> 01:07:01.920 capacity embedded in something so 01:07:01.920 --> 01:07:04.380 natural family life that you have a 01:07:04.380 --> 01:07:05.220 double 01:07:05.220 --> 01:07:06.960 positive 01:07:06.960 --> 01:07:08.960 um but it certainly could be done more 01:07:08.960 --> 01:07:13.440 augmented more in school so 01:07:13.440 --> 01:07:15.900 um you know so you know the point is we 01:07:15.900 --> 01:07:18.599 try to get kids to read 01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:19.380 um 01:07:19.380 --> 01:07:21.380 um 01:07:21.420 --> 01:07:24.960 yeah the whole thing is it's because we 01:07:24.960 --> 01:07:27.480 don't understand the miracle reading so 01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:30.839 every every generation we turn it into a 01:07:30.839 --> 01:07:33.299 formula we make the book simpler you 01:07:33.299 --> 01:07:34.980 know if you look at what 11 year olds 01:07:34.980 --> 01:07:37.859 were reading in England you know in the 01:07:37.859 --> 01:07:42.299 1500s it's like most American adults uh 01:07:42.299 --> 01:07:44.819 can't read those books they don't have 01:07:44.819 --> 01:07:47.039 the linguistic of a cognitive capacity 01:07:47.039 --> 01:07:50.460 to understand the sentence structure 01:07:50.460 --> 01:07:52.740 um so 01:07:52.740 --> 01:07:53.520 um 01:07:53.520 --> 01:07:55.619 yeah 01:07:55.619 --> 01:07:58.680 something like something like 01:07:58.680 --> 01:08:00.839 uh 01:08:00.839 --> 01:08:04.680 59 of only of the adult population in 01:08:04.680 --> 01:08:06.240 the United States 01:08:06.240 --> 01:08:09.000 uh knows that the earth goes around the 01:08:09.000 --> 01:08:10.260 Sun 01:08:10.260 --> 01:08:13.380 and only 29 of 01:08:13.380 --> 01:08:14.160 um 01:08:14.160 --> 01:08:16.920 of people in the United States think 01:08:16.920 --> 01:08:19.799 genes exist in vegetables that are not 01:08:19.799 --> 01:08:21.000 GMO 01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:23.759 they think only GMO vegetables have 01:08:23.759 --> 01:08:25.319 genes 01:08:25.319 --> 01:08:29.100 school does not even even if you only 01:08:29.100 --> 01:08:33.060 wanted it to do like download facts 01:08:33.060 --> 01:08:36.719 for people it does not do what uh it 01:08:36.719 --> 01:08:39.839 purports to do this was if you those of 01:08:39.839 --> 01:08:42.480 you in The Parallax course this was the 01:08:42.480 --> 01:08:45.179 consumer Ed Guy Brian Kaplan he's like 01:08:45.179 --> 01:08:47.640 why would a commentary spend 4.2 01:08:47.640 --> 01:08:50.880 trillion dollars in education and its 01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:54.839 own researchers have these facts 01:08:54.839 --> 01:08:57.480 that that kids don't people don't know 01:08:57.480 --> 01:08:59.000 these facts 01:08:59.000 --> 01:09:01.500 it doesn't he's an economist and he's 01:09:01.500 --> 01:09:04.339 like it doesn't make economic sense no 01:09:04.339 --> 01:09:06.660 any other industry would have gone out 01:09:06.660 --> 01:09:07.620 of business 01:09:07.620 --> 01:09:10.020 if that was you know the more more and 01:09:10.020 --> 01:09:12.179 more money you make the stupider and 01:09:12.179 --> 01:09:13.920 stupid results you would get you know 01:09:13.920 --> 01:09:16.020 evidence-based education doesn't exist 01:09:16.020 --> 01:09:18.719 so he's and then his point is is 01:09:18.719 --> 01:09:21.779 the U.S pays Four Points two trillion 01:09:21.779 --> 01:09:23.640 dollars on education for different 01:09:23.640 --> 01:09:25.859 purposes and they're getting their 01:09:25.859 --> 01:09:27.839 money's worth for those purposes that's 01:09:27.839 --> 01:09:30.480 his hypothesis 01:09:30.480 --> 01:09:31.140 um 01:09:31.140 --> 01:09:33.799 but 01:09:38.160 --> 01:09:39.660 that's weird that you read that book 01:09:39.660 --> 01:09:40.920 it's not a very well-known book 01:09:40.920 --> 01:09:42.179 apparently 01:09:42.179 --> 01:09:44.219 yeah 01:09:44.219 --> 01:09:47.040 I just wanted to share with the like the 01:09:47.040 --> 01:09:48.900 discussion on language 01:09:48.900 --> 01:09:50.100 um 01:09:50.100 --> 01:09:53.040 I've gotten to learn languages one when 01:09:53.040 --> 01:09:54.780 I was like a teenager and then another 01:09:54.780 --> 01:09:57.900 in my like throughout my 20s and 01:09:57.900 --> 01:09:59.280 something that's been really cool about 01:09:59.280 --> 01:10:01.620 it or like a like a big Insight that 01:10:01.620 --> 01:10:03.000 kind of came from it kind of like Kevin 01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:04.679 was talking about 01:10:04.679 --> 01:10:07.260 like breaking down 01:10:07.260 --> 01:10:09.420 the the frames through which the world 01:10:09.420 --> 01:10:11.760 is organized and bringing you back to 01:10:11.760 --> 01:10:14.280 some kind of direct perception or like 01:10:14.280 --> 01:10:16.440 memory or other 01:10:16.440 --> 01:10:19.080 there's a there's a couple ways that it 01:10:19.080 --> 01:10:20.340 does this one the entire language 01:10:20.340 --> 01:10:22.500 learning process 01:10:22.500 --> 01:10:23.960 um 01:10:23.960 --> 01:10:26.520 is one of communicating people when you 01:10:26.520 --> 01:10:28.500 don't share a verbal language 01:10:28.500 --> 01:10:30.239 um I'm like trying to figure out all 01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:31.860 kinds of symbols and like pointing and 01:10:31.860 --> 01:10:33.840 like making sure that you're seeing eye 01:10:33.840 --> 01:10:37.500 to eye in ways that have nothing to do 01:10:37.500 --> 01:10:40.140 with the words that are being spoken 01:10:40.140 --> 01:10:42.719 um and then the word becomes a symbol 01:10:42.719 --> 01:10:44.460 that you learn and point to once you've 01:10:44.460 --> 01:10:45.739 already 01:10:45.739 --> 01:10:47.640 recognized that you have a shared 01:10:47.640 --> 01:10:49.739 communication and that's the only like 01:10:49.739 --> 01:10:51.780 that's how that happens so it completely 01:10:51.780 --> 01:10:53.580 changes your orientation 01:10:53.580 --> 01:10:57.239 to communication or for me anyway it did 01:10:57.239 --> 01:10:57.840 um 01:10:57.840 --> 01:11:00.540 and then the second thing too is 01:11:00.540 --> 01:11:03.120 realizing that um as you try to 01:11:03.120 --> 01:11:05.219 translate for other people between 01:11:05.219 --> 01:11:06.900 languages who maybe speak one or the 01:11:06.900 --> 01:11:08.400 other 01:11:08.400 --> 01:11:10.440 um 01:11:10.440 --> 01:11:12.540 that 01:11:12.540 --> 01:11:15.719 translation is not a direct process 01:11:15.719 --> 01:11:16.860 um because even if you're talking about 01:11:16.860 --> 01:11:19.739 simple nouns the connotations in one 01:11:19.739 --> 01:11:21.179 language or another or the connections 01:11:21.179 --> 01:11:23.940 that are made in like the network of 01:11:23.940 --> 01:11:28.199 of of words are are interrelated with 01:11:28.199 --> 01:11:29.880 completely different things so like a 01:11:29.880 --> 01:11:34.800 example like kind of funny is um 01:11:34.800 --> 01:11:37.320 like I had a a Spanish-speaking friend 01:11:37.320 --> 01:11:39.060 asked me like how do you say umbiligo 01:11:39.060 --> 01:11:42.320 which means belly button not really 01:11:42.320 --> 01:11:44.640 Naval but it has this connotation of 01:11:44.640 --> 01:11:46.739 like depth and like connection to Source 01:11:46.739 --> 01:11:47.960 it's like 01:11:47.960 --> 01:11:51.360 and I was like looking for I was like 01:11:51.360 --> 01:11:52.860 belly button and we were just laughing 01:11:52.860 --> 01:11:54.480 our asses off because this is absolutely 01:11:54.480 --> 01:11:56.760 not the thing and like that's a really 01:11:56.760 --> 01:12:00.600 extreme example but even like even the 01:12:00.600 --> 01:12:01.980 subtlest 01:12:01.980 --> 01:12:05.900 yeah anyway yeah you know 01:12:05.900 --> 01:12:09.480 this there's languages we swim in 01:12:09.480 --> 01:12:11.400 language but this is you're saying a lot 01:12:11.400 --> 01:12:14.040 of things that are very important and 01:12:14.040 --> 01:12:15.659 that is 01:12:15.659 --> 01:12:16.340 um 01:12:16.340 --> 01:12:19.860 uh once once you start to investigate 01:12:19.860 --> 01:12:21.300 language either through something like 01:12:21.300 --> 01:12:24.300 that if motion were here he he talks 01:12:24.300 --> 01:12:25.620 about how 01:12:25.620 --> 01:12:27.719 if you're really fluent in two languages 01:12:27.719 --> 01:12:29.460 you don't translate you live in this 01:12:29.460 --> 01:12:30.900 language or you live in that language 01:12:30.900 --> 01:12:33.120 and you're a different person and then 01:12:33.120 --> 01:12:35.159 when you're translating you have to you 01:12:35.159 --> 01:12:38.400 have to make choices so if like in the 01:12:38.400 --> 01:12:40.980 story they all celebrated and went out 01:12:40.980 --> 01:12:44.219 and ate termite larvas and you were 01:12:44.219 --> 01:12:45.900 you're Translating that into a 01:12:45.900 --> 01:12:47.460 children's book you'd have to say they 01:12:47.460 --> 01:12:49.620 went to Carvel's or something which is 01:12:49.620 --> 01:12:52.560 not at all a translation right 01:12:52.560 --> 01:12:57.120 so then you start to think and I mean 01:12:57.120 --> 01:12:59.880 all psycho Technologies all this 01:12:59.880 --> 01:13:05.340 Awakening 99 of it is you know getting 01:13:05.340 --> 01:13:08.000 through the mental 01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:10.560 content but the mental content is 01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:12.900 linguistically constructed so between 01:13:12.900 --> 01:13:14.280 people then you have this language 01:13:14.280 --> 01:13:15.960 problem 01:13:15.960 --> 01:13:19.320 or or potential but the other thing is 01:13:19.320 --> 01:13:22.560 what you're saying is in order to use 01:13:22.560 --> 01:13:25.320 language between two people and 01:13:25.320 --> 01:13:29.040 communicate you already have to have 01:13:29.040 --> 01:13:32.520 already know the context 01:13:32.520 --> 01:13:34.739 ninety percent of what you're going to 01:13:34.739 --> 01:13:36.840 communicate already has to be shared 01:13:36.840 --> 01:13:40.080 before you can use the language for it 01:13:40.080 --> 01:13:43.199 so then where does the understanding 01:13:43.199 --> 01:13:45.120 come from the meaning is not in the 01:13:45.120 --> 01:13:47.100 words I know David you're going to 01:13:47.100 --> 01:13:49.080 cringe but I'm telling you 01:13:49.080 --> 01:13:51.440 there the meaning is not in the words 01:13:51.440 --> 01:13:55.500 the words are like if I point to this 01:13:55.500 --> 01:13:57.800 book 01:13:57.900 --> 01:14:01.980 right the the the finger is not the book 01:14:01.980 --> 01:14:04.380 and then if I say book 01:14:04.380 --> 01:14:07.440 the word book is not the book all 01:14:07.440 --> 01:14:11.040 language is are pointing out things so 01:14:11.040 --> 01:14:12.620 if I say 01:14:12.620 --> 01:14:16.260 LGBT I pointed out a whole big thing 01:14:16.260 --> 01:14:17.580 already 01:14:17.580 --> 01:14:21.000 the whole social thing and the social 01:14:21.000 --> 01:14:23.820 media and and you know what I'm saying 01:14:23.820 --> 01:14:27.420 I've just said one word it's a trigger 01:14:27.420 --> 01:14:29.880 for all these meaning making systems in 01:14:29.880 --> 01:14:33.420 you that I shared but it's not in the 01:14:33.420 --> 01:14:35.640 word the word is a trigger like the 01:14:35.640 --> 01:14:38.760 point two things so 01:14:38.760 --> 01:14:41.520 um now there are some abstractions that 01:14:41.520 --> 01:14:43.260 start to become not at all like that 01:14:43.260 --> 01:14:45.000 they just point to other abstractions 01:14:45.000 --> 01:14:48.000 and other abstractions so so 01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:50.040 um in order to have a shared context you 01:14:50.040 --> 01:14:52.500 bet you need to run a very complex 01:14:52.500 --> 01:14:55.620 simulation with another person so if I'm 01:14:55.620 --> 01:14:58.020 doing really high math with someone and 01:14:58.020 --> 01:14:59.820 they're they're just saying all these 01:14:59.820 --> 01:15:04.199 words these these these these uh symbols 01:15:04.199 --> 01:15:06.840 the symbols are compressions that 01:15:06.840 --> 01:15:09.600 trigger all this stuff that you don't 01:15:09.600 --> 01:15:12.480 have to say one plus one plus one one 01:15:12.480 --> 01:15:14.640 plus one plus one plus one plus one one 01:15:14.640 --> 01:15:18.480 I can say five okay I compress that we 01:15:18.480 --> 01:15:21.540 can move on so 01:15:21.540 --> 01:15:24.440 um they're actually action protocols 01:15:24.440 --> 01:15:28.380 words produce actions that then run 01:15:28.380 --> 01:15:30.420 Downstream 01:15:30.420 --> 01:15:33.840 um and the actions 01:15:33.840 --> 01:15:35.640 um so 01:15:35.640 --> 01:15:36.480 um 01:15:36.480 --> 01:15:39.780 one of the things about 01:15:39.780 --> 01:15:42.179 so this is going meta on the question 01:15:42.179 --> 01:15:46.140 right of of what language is but 01:15:46.140 --> 01:15:48.719 then it becomes fascinating if meaning's 01:15:48.719 --> 01:15:53.159 not in the word then where is it 01:15:53.159 --> 01:15:55.739 um or where does it come from 01:15:55.739 --> 01:15:59.280 um and like you said there it comes from 01:15:59.280 --> 01:16:02.340 uh a couple of things we have a basic 01:16:02.340 --> 01:16:05.040 human template so there's a lot that's 01:16:05.040 --> 01:16:07.800 already shared right I mean there's we 01:16:07.800 --> 01:16:11.520 have to breathe we have to eat we see 01:16:11.520 --> 01:16:13.500 life and death you know so something 01:16:13.500 --> 01:16:17.760 even if you go into that 01:16:17.760 --> 01:16:20.580 tribe where they that was in that book 01:16:20.580 --> 01:16:23.480 you know those snake's bite or something 01:16:23.480 --> 01:16:27.900 there's some fundamentals shared 01:16:27.900 --> 01:16:30.659 um syntax of just being a human in front 01:16:30.659 --> 01:16:32.760 of a human it's also why you can talk to 01:16:32.760 --> 01:16:35.400 animals there's a shared syntax and then 01:16:35.400 --> 01:16:37.020 you build up more and more and more 01:16:37.020 --> 01:16:39.900 shared sin tax 01:16:39.900 --> 01:16:41.760 um until the possibility of 01:16:41.760 --> 01:16:43.560 communication 01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:47.940 um is seamless and easy and 01:16:47.940 --> 01:16:49.260 um 01:16:49.260 --> 01:16:52.760 seems to be in the words 01:17:04.860 --> 01:17:08.340 um I would love to understand what uh 01:17:08.340 --> 01:17:11.179 shared syntax 01:17:11.179 --> 01:17:15.300 actually means so that's one question I 01:17:15.300 --> 01:17:18.659 post but I also want to go back to this 01:17:18.659 --> 01:17:20.940 is why I raised my hand to what Holly 01:17:20.940 --> 01:17:22.400 was asking 01:17:22.400 --> 01:17:25.620 what I heard in her question was we went 01:17:25.620 --> 01:17:28.440 the language way which probably was 01:17:28.440 --> 01:17:31.620 necessary she was asking 01:17:31.620 --> 01:17:34.320 are we swimming in something else as we 01:17:34.320 --> 01:17:38.719 swim in language that's what I heard 01:17:38.820 --> 01:17:43.199 uh and that is a very interesting 01:17:43.199 --> 01:17:45.480 question to me because you know I am one 01:17:45.480 --> 01:17:47.520 of those I grew up in Turkey learned 01:17:47.520 --> 01:17:50.100 French when I was little was sent to a 01:17:50.100 --> 01:17:51.540 boarding school in England learned 01:17:51.540 --> 01:17:53.780 English 01:17:54.300 --> 01:17:54.960 etc 01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:55.920 etc 01:17:55.920 --> 01:18:00.500 living in multiple contexts I had 01:18:00.719 --> 01:18:02.940 um the opportunity to develop different 01:18:02.940 --> 01:18:04.800 perspectives 01:18:04.800 --> 01:18:07.199 because of the exposure I got language 01:18:07.199 --> 01:18:08.640 and context 01:18:08.640 --> 01:18:11.400 at the same time I was the kind of child 01:18:11.400 --> 01:18:14.100 who was already wondering about 01:18:14.100 --> 01:18:16.500 what's the reason of existence in the 01:18:16.500 --> 01:18:18.600 universe you know age 01:18:18.600 --> 01:18:21.300 eight solenoids 01:18:21.300 --> 01:18:22.440 um 01:18:22.440 --> 01:18:25.580 so then was I 01:18:25.580 --> 01:18:28.380 blessed with the life I was which was 01:18:28.380 --> 01:18:30.540 not easy I told it was not life or 01:18:30.540 --> 01:18:33.140 blessing but 01:18:34.320 --> 01:18:39.540 um but was I you know then equipped with 01:18:39.540 --> 01:18:43.100 these tools uh because of what I already 01:18:43.100 --> 01:18:46.020 was the energy or the 01:18:46.020 --> 01:18:48.060 the the 01:18:48.060 --> 01:18:50.760 what I don't know that is the that is 01:18:50.760 --> 01:18:54.000 the question I'm most interested in 01:18:54.000 --> 01:18:55.080 um 01:18:55.080 --> 01:18:59.159 or did I then develop you know larger 01:18:59.159 --> 01:19:03.780 capacity uh cognitive capacity or larger 01:19:03.780 --> 01:19:07.199 capacity to take more perspectives 01:19:07.199 --> 01:19:10.739 because of the these exterior things 01:19:10.739 --> 01:19:13.560 like I learned languages I I had 01:19:13.560 --> 01:19:15.540 exposure 01:19:15.540 --> 01:19:17.659 um 01:19:18.120 --> 01:19:22.260 yeah my sense is that 01:19:22.260 --> 01:19:23.699 or 01:19:23.699 --> 01:19:26.880 it is it's it's a confusing place for me 01:19:26.880 --> 01:19:28.920 because 01:19:28.920 --> 01:19:30.980 um 01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:36.600 um I find myself getting frustrated 01:19:36.600 --> 01:19:38.820 giving the credit to these external 01:19:38.820 --> 01:19:41.159 things like oh I learned the language 01:19:41.159 --> 01:19:44.580 and that's why I I cannot take more 01:19:44.580 --> 01:19:47.040 perspectives like that's as if we can 01:19:47.040 --> 01:19:49.800 these do these mechanical things to 01:19:49.800 --> 01:19:53.340 human beings and then these things can 01:19:53.340 --> 01:19:56.179 then happen 01:19:56.880 --> 01:19:58.739 um 01:19:58.739 --> 01:20:01.140 feels like 01:20:01.140 --> 01:20:03.260 um 01:20:04.199 --> 01:20:06.840 it gets me stuck when I go in that 01:20:06.840 --> 01:20:09.920 direction of thinking 01:20:10.260 --> 01:20:12.480 um all right so there's a lot here I'm 01:20:12.480 --> 01:20:14.040 just gonna make a couple of them easy 01:20:14.040 --> 01:20:17.340 when I say syntax just think of the word 01:20:17.340 --> 01:20:19.500 context 01:20:19.500 --> 01:20:22.739 syntax is the language what context is 01:20:22.739 --> 01:20:25.159 to 01:20:25.280 --> 01:20:28.199 just regular life 01:20:28.199 --> 01:20:31.620 right so I might have the same word as 01:20:31.620 --> 01:20:33.860 you do for 01:20:33.860 --> 01:20:39.480 uh termite larva but in one context in 01:20:39.480 --> 01:20:41.400 the sentence in one syntax in the 01:20:41.400 --> 01:20:43.080 sentence it's a happy thing and another 01:20:43.080 --> 01:20:46.260 syntax it's it's like a bummer I had to 01:20:46.260 --> 01:20:49.199 eat termite larva so syntax to languages 01:20:49.199 --> 01:20:52.080 like the context 01:20:52.080 --> 01:20:54.780 to just ordinary life or something 01:20:54.780 --> 01:20:57.420 that's that that's easy way so what are 01:20:57.420 --> 01:20:59.520 we swimming in I'm going to think of um 01:20:59.520 --> 01:21:04.500 uh Jill's Henry uh he says you know 01:21:04.500 --> 01:21:07.860 again we we go to the child because when 01:21:07.860 --> 01:21:10.199 we think of the typical adult most 01:21:10.199 --> 01:21:14.100 adults unlike people on this uh group 01:21:14.100 --> 01:21:15.719 um they get pretty situated and don't 01:21:15.719 --> 01:21:18.540 learn anymore I mean in general 01:21:18.540 --> 01:21:20.820 um but 01:21:20.820 --> 01:21:21.860 um 01:21:21.860 --> 01:21:25.020 humans are polyphasic Learners and this 01:21:25.020 --> 01:21:27.600 is both a blessing and a problem so what 01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:29.940 do we mean by that 01:21:29.940 --> 01:21:32.040 if you're the teacher is telling me 01:21:32.040 --> 01:21:34.400 something 01:21:34.560 --> 01:21:37.020 um and okay I'll give you the example he 01:21:37.020 --> 01:21:38.940 gives Johnny's asked to go to the board 01:21:38.940 --> 01:21:42.480 and write out a mathematical formula 01:21:42.480 --> 01:21:45.120 that he's supposed to learn and as he's 01:21:45.120 --> 01:21:49.080 doing it he's learning he's on the face 01:21:49.080 --> 01:21:51.900 of it he's learning this algebra but 01:21:51.900 --> 01:21:54.719 he's also learning that you know the 01:21:54.719 --> 01:21:56.520 teacher picked on him and he might be 01:21:56.520 --> 01:21:58.800 laughed at if the kids are there and he 01:21:58.800 --> 01:22:02.100 stumbles so he's learning the context we 01:22:02.100 --> 01:22:05.699 can say and and and the important thing 01:22:05.699 --> 01:22:10.340 is that that's actually what children 01:22:10.340 --> 01:22:13.260 remember more from school than the 01:22:13.260 --> 01:22:14.880 content 01:22:14.880 --> 01:22:17.820 um and and what we do is we diminish the 01:22:17.820 --> 01:22:19.800 context so it's an unlearning situation 01:22:19.800 --> 01:22:22.260 and what people learn Johnny's learning 01:22:22.260 --> 01:22:24.659 is a competition that there's only one 01:22:24.659 --> 01:22:26.940 right answer and if the kids in the 01:22:26.940 --> 01:22:29.460 class help him when he when he makes a 01:22:29.460 --> 01:22:31.140 mistake that's called chill cheating 01:22:31.140 --> 01:22:34.199 this is this because it has so much more 01:22:34.199 --> 01:22:36.780 it's more relevant to him at his life 01:22:36.780 --> 01:22:40.020 stage than abstract math this is what he 01:22:40.020 --> 01:22:41.219 will learn 01:22:41.219 --> 01:22:44.640 so we're always swimming in more than 01:22:44.640 --> 01:22:46.500 this language 01:22:46.500 --> 01:22:48.179 but 01:22:48.179 --> 01:22:50.719 it has to do with 01:22:50.719 --> 01:22:54.780 what our conscious identity is so most 01:22:54.780 --> 01:22:56.460 people's Consciousness conscious 01:22:56.460 --> 01:23:00.239 identity is swimming in language so they 01:23:00.239 --> 01:23:03.300 don't actually consciously experience 01:23:03.300 --> 01:23:05.820 the disconnect between what they're 01:23:05.820 --> 01:23:08.280 learning at the polyphasic level and the 01:23:08.280 --> 01:23:09.960 language 01:23:09.960 --> 01:23:13.500 so their bodies will know there's a 01:23:13.500 --> 01:23:15.840 disconnect and they have stress and they 01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:18.179 get addicted and they have ulcers and 01:23:18.179 --> 01:23:19.800 they're angry and their emotional system 01:23:19.800 --> 01:23:21.480 is a mess 01:23:21.480 --> 01:23:23.760 because there's a disconnect the forces 01:23:23.760 --> 01:23:27.120 are at odds with each other so the fact 01:23:27.120 --> 01:23:29.159 that the polyphasic learning is always 01:23:29.159 --> 01:23:30.120 there 01:23:30.120 --> 01:23:34.320 is one thing but what happens when we're 01:23:34.320 --> 01:23:36.900 swimming in language it produces a 01:23:36.900 --> 01:23:39.600 certain type of subjectivity that is 01:23:39.600 --> 01:23:41.580 linguistically 01:23:41.580 --> 01:23:44.940 focused and the language aspect is 01:23:44.940 --> 01:23:47.940 hypertrophic 01:23:48.179 --> 01:23:49.860 so 01:23:49.860 --> 01:23:52.860 um so uh 01:23:52.860 --> 01:23:55.920 certain Society the language might be so 01:23:55.920 --> 01:23:57.780 disconnected it does no longer 01:23:57.780 --> 01:23:59.840 represents the actual positive 01:23:59.840 --> 01:24:03.480 polyphasic reality and so now you have 01:24:03.480 --> 01:24:07.679 this this kind of disease or mental 01:24:07.679 --> 01:24:09.480 Madness 01:24:09.480 --> 01:24:14.179 um so most people are 01:24:14.640 --> 01:24:17.100 you know they even think subjectivity is 01:24:17.100 --> 01:24:20.219 dialogical and they think uh awareness 01:24:20.219 --> 01:24:22.739 is dialogical and that thinking is 01:24:22.739 --> 01:24:24.480 thoughts in your head is linguistically 01:24:24.480 --> 01:24:26.580 they think gender is socially 01:24:26.580 --> 01:24:29.219 constructed and they you know there's 01:24:29.219 --> 01:24:30.600 there's 01:24:30.600 --> 01:24:33.060 so even people that would never say that 01:24:33.060 --> 01:24:35.880 they go around their identity is a 01:24:35.880 --> 01:24:37.860 narrative that they've constructed 01:24:37.860 --> 01:24:39.420 there's a linguistically constructed 01:24:39.420 --> 01:24:41.520 identity at a certain phase that's 01:24:41.520 --> 01:24:47.420 appropriate but there this is this is 01:24:47.659 --> 01:24:50.460 gets us further and further or what we 01:24:50.460 --> 01:24:53.820 we have the multiple dimensions of what 01:24:53.820 --> 01:24:56.699 reality is saying to us is getting so 01:24:56.699 --> 01:24:59.520 that that it's not coherent it's not 01:24:59.520 --> 01:25:01.800 it's not coherent 01:25:01.800 --> 01:25:04.460 um and so 01:25:05.040 --> 01:25:07.980 um so to that extent most of society 01:25:07.980 --> 01:25:11.040 swimming in language and the problem is 01:25:11.040 --> 01:25:13.260 they could never say something like what 01:25:13.260 --> 01:25:16.260 Katie said that language is kind of 01:25:16.260 --> 01:25:18.840 weird actually it's not 01:25:18.840 --> 01:25:21.360 yes it has the power that you're saying 01:25:21.360 --> 01:25:22.800 it has because everyone's swimming in 01:25:22.800 --> 01:25:24.239 language and nobody can see what 01:25:24.239 --> 01:25:25.500 language is 01:25:25.500 --> 01:25:27.780 uh I haven't already talked about this 01:25:27.780 --> 01:25:30.060 you know language is a powerful tool and 01:25:30.060 --> 01:25:32.760 like other tools it can be uh you know 01:25:32.760 --> 01:25:36.239 it can enhance our experience it can 01:25:36.239 --> 01:25:38.340 um it can 01:25:38.340 --> 01:25:41.699 um uh take over our experience it can 01:25:41.699 --> 01:25:43.199 control our experience and it can 01:25:43.199 --> 01:25:45.360 destroy our experience 01:25:45.360 --> 01:25:47.040 so 01:25:47.040 --> 01:25:48.420 um now 01:25:48.420 --> 01:25:51.120 the problem and and I always say this 01:25:51.120 --> 01:25:55.260 the it it's it's the problem in our 01:25:55.260 --> 01:25:57.060 society 01:25:57.060 --> 01:26:01.739 the late stage capitalism is that uh 01:26:01.739 --> 01:26:05.280 most of the opportunities to contribute 01:26:05.280 --> 01:26:07.860 to society make a living 01:26:07.860 --> 01:26:10.800 um even this class is 01:26:10.800 --> 01:26:13.320 um to compound linguistic structures 01:26:13.320 --> 01:26:15.780 right I mean hopefully what I do is I 01:26:15.780 --> 01:26:17.580 destroy them 01:26:17.580 --> 01:26:19.320 I mean 01:26:19.320 --> 01:26:21.540 um but but 01:26:21.540 --> 01:26:25.080 um and so so the material conditions of 01:26:25.080 --> 01:26:27.179 your life also 01:26:27.179 --> 01:26:27.960 um 01:26:27.960 --> 01:26:30.480 contribute to thinking that language is 01:26:30.480 --> 01:26:33.060 special because because it actually 01:26:33.060 --> 01:26:35.580 you know puts fear puts food on your 01:26:35.580 --> 01:26:37.320 table let's say 01:26:37.320 --> 01:26:39.179 um so 01:26:39.179 --> 01:26:40.920 uh 01:26:40.920 --> 01:26:44.100 this is this is a problem 01:26:44.100 --> 01:26:46.219 um 01:26:47.400 --> 01:26:49.620 it's why there's a lot of pressure when 01:26:49.620 --> 01:26:50.940 I first told people we're doing 01:26:50.940 --> 01:26:52.739 Collective Insight practice it's not 01:26:52.739 --> 01:26:55.679 conversational not talking to each other 01:26:55.679 --> 01:26:58.580 full stop makes you nervous 01:26:58.580 --> 01:27:02.520 uh and like I said you know I took a 01:27:02.520 --> 01:27:05.639 chance it's kind of rude but but we can 01:27:05.639 --> 01:27:08.159 reclaim languages but it's no longer our 01:27:08.159 --> 01:27:10.460 master 01:27:11.760 --> 01:27:14.900 um it's it's it's 01:27:30.719 --> 01:27:33.659 and you know there's different 01:27:33.659 --> 01:27:36.000 insights into it I don't know if 01:27:36.000 --> 01:27:38.960 madalina this was part this is what I 01:27:38.960 --> 01:27:42.000 either projected or inflected or 01:27:42.000 --> 01:27:44.100 inferred him what what you were talking 01:27:44.100 --> 01:27:46.820 about but 01:27:46.920 --> 01:27:48.980 um 01:27:50.940 --> 01:27:55.400 but it it's something that I I 01:27:55.500 --> 01:27:58.080 encountered so some kind of mashup 01:27:58.080 --> 01:27:59.000 between 01:27:59.000 --> 01:28:01.139 madalina's experience in my own 01:28:01.139 --> 01:28:03.120 experience like it's taken on its own 01:28:03.120 --> 01:28:08.460 kind of mixed story here but 01:28:08.460 --> 01:28:09.420 um 01:28:09.420 --> 01:28:12.239 so when I was working in landscape 01:28:12.239 --> 01:28:14.460 architecture there was this woman who 01:28:14.460 --> 01:28:16.860 was a designer and she was a really hard 01:28:16.860 --> 01:28:18.540 worker but she wasn't that like 01:28:18.540 --> 01:28:21.920 conceptually smart I mean she 01:28:21.920 --> 01:28:25.020 like really was into space and 01:28:25.020 --> 01:28:27.300 Aesthetics and movement and machines and 01:28:27.300 --> 01:28:29.520 stuff and she'd come in and she's like I 01:28:29.520 --> 01:28:31.800 have an idea and I was the operations 01:28:31.800 --> 01:28:33.719 manager so you're not at these big like 01:28:33.719 --> 01:28:35.460 schedules and you had to move this and 01:28:35.460 --> 01:28:37.080 all this stuff 01:28:37.080 --> 01:28:39.659 and quite often she'd come in and her 01:28:39.659 --> 01:28:43.440 idea was very good but it was always 01:28:43.440 --> 01:28:45.659 single perspective her and her client 01:28:45.659 --> 01:28:48.420 and the way her work her and she didn't 01:28:48.420 --> 01:28:50.100 understand how there's a whole lot more 01:28:50.100 --> 01:28:52.440 because those contractors can't come in 01:28:52.440 --> 01:28:54.179 until after this and then the permanent 01:28:54.179 --> 01:28:55.739 and these guys got to be you know all 01:28:55.739 --> 01:28:57.239 this stuff I was looking at this 01:28:57.239 --> 01:28:59.400 multiple grid 01:28:59.400 --> 01:29:02.040 and so she was very feisty and we would 01:29:02.040 --> 01:29:04.500 have a fight and she would say something 01:29:04.500 --> 01:29:06.120 and I would say and then she'd get 01:29:06.120 --> 01:29:07.920 louder and it would sound like a fight 01:29:07.920 --> 01:29:12.360 and I learned that then she would like 01:29:12.360 --> 01:29:15.780 just and then walk out but 01:29:15.780 --> 01:29:18.060 if I never said oh I told you so and I 01:29:18.060 --> 01:29:20.580 which I never did you I noticed she 01:29:20.580 --> 01:29:23.940 would then do what I said and one day I 01:29:23.940 --> 01:29:25.860 was in the middle of this typical scene 01:29:25.860 --> 01:29:30.120 with her it was just a pattern 01:29:30.120 --> 01:29:32.400 and right in the middle just before like 01:29:32.400 --> 01:29:34.320 it was already coming out of my mouth 01:29:34.320 --> 01:29:36.420 and I was when you know it would be the 01:29:36.420 --> 01:29:38.340 end of that and she'd walk out 01:29:38.340 --> 01:29:42.380 I realized I was wrong 01:29:42.659 --> 01:29:46.199 because I was multi-perspectival and she 01:29:46.199 --> 01:29:48.659 had this other perspective 01:29:48.659 --> 01:29:51.480 that was maybe single perspective but it 01:29:51.480 --> 01:29:54.540 had information in it that I didn't see 01:29:54.540 --> 01:29:58.199 and so what I realized right then and 01:29:58.199 --> 01:30:01.500 there is just because you're smarter 01:30:01.500 --> 01:30:03.840 doesn't mean you're right 01:30:03.840 --> 01:30:05.699 number one 01:30:05.699 --> 01:30:08.280 and number two if you've spent your 01:30:08.280 --> 01:30:09.620 whole life 01:30:09.620 --> 01:30:12.060 defending yourself because you're 01:30:12.060 --> 01:30:13.560 smarter 01:30:13.560 --> 01:30:16.620 from various insults 01:30:16.620 --> 01:30:19.800 that come at you in the world and then 01:30:19.800 --> 01:30:23.340 you realize that words don't matter you 01:30:23.340 --> 01:30:25.620 have to break down and cry when you're 01:30:25.620 --> 01:30:29.179 asked not to use words 01:30:29.520 --> 01:30:33.860 because then what matters 01:30:33.900 --> 01:30:36.300 if they don't really 01:30:36.300 --> 01:30:41.040 this is my my superpower 01:30:41.940 --> 01:30:46.159 than what matters and then you can 01:30:46.159 --> 01:30:51.440 encounter or touch base with the energy 01:30:51.600 --> 01:30:53.580 that's actually 01:30:53.580 --> 01:30:56.400 you've been surviving by the words don't 01:30:56.400 --> 01:30:58.500 really matter 01:30:58.500 --> 01:31:01.100 for energy 01:31:02.880 --> 01:31:06.000 so uh 01:31:06.000 --> 01:31:10.739 so this is the this is many levels of uh 01:31:10.739 --> 01:31:14.159 meta around language but then also this 01:31:14.159 --> 01:31:16.260 very 01:31:16.260 --> 01:31:19.679 way that 01:31:19.679 --> 01:31:21.780 even when you 01:31:21.780 --> 01:31:23.820 the pressure that something like 01:31:23.820 --> 01:31:25.739 Collective Insight practice can put on 01:31:25.739 --> 01:31:28.320 people because we've actually used 01:31:28.320 --> 01:31:32.219 language as a tool 01:31:32.219 --> 01:31:35.280 um and 01:31:36.060 --> 01:31:39.300 become a little deluded about where the 01:31:39.300 --> 01:31:42.120 actual source of the power 01:31:42.120 --> 01:31:45.960 or the intimacy comes from 01:31:45.960 --> 01:31:48.060 either the defensive power or the 01:31:48.060 --> 01:31:52.280 intimacy where where it comes from 01:31:52.440 --> 01:31:54.440 um 01:31:54.900 --> 01:31:57.540 so the only thing that happens then is 01:31:57.540 --> 01:32:00.060 you touch base where where the power and 01:32:00.060 --> 01:32:02.179 the intimacy comes from 01:32:02.179 --> 01:32:06.780 and uh you know that that 01:32:06.780 --> 01:32:08.639 then it just makes 01:32:08.639 --> 01:32:10.980 your superpower you can still be very 01:32:10.980 --> 01:32:13.080 intellectual you can still be very 01:32:13.080 --> 01:32:15.360 social but it doesn't cost you as much 01:32:15.360 --> 01:32:18.480 effort because now you're congruent now 01:32:18.480 --> 01:32:21.480 your body now you really know your 01:32:21.480 --> 01:32:23.760 body's not saying but it's not that but 01:32:23.760 --> 01:32:25.139 it's not that 01:32:25.139 --> 01:32:27.360 you know it's the flow through the whole 01:32:27.360 --> 01:32:28.860 system 01:32:28.860 --> 01:32:31.260 what comes out of your mouth hardly 01:32:31.260 --> 01:32:33.480 matters 01:32:33.480 --> 01:32:36.300 it's as long as it's shaped by the 01:32:36.300 --> 01:32:38.040 intention and so this is actually what 01:32:38.040 --> 01:32:40.020 Collective Insight practices except it's 01:32:40.020 --> 01:32:43.440 hard for us to all be absorbed by the 01:32:43.440 --> 01:32:45.320 intention of having to write a chapter 01:32:45.320 --> 01:32:49.020 on the origins right but 01:32:49.020 --> 01:32:49.739 um 01:32:49.739 --> 01:32:53.400 um yeah so all of this is in play all of 01:32:53.400 --> 01:32:55.260 this is in play 01:32:55.260 --> 01:32:55.980 um 01:32:55.980 --> 01:32:59.760 it it looks like you know if I had to 01:32:59.760 --> 01:33:02.699 create a Taoist short story and you saw 01:33:02.699 --> 01:33:04.440 like 01:33:04.440 --> 01:33:06.179 um 01:33:06.179 --> 01:33:09.120 this huge guy you know two two samurais 01:33:09.120 --> 01:33:11.159 meet themselves on the bridge 01:33:11.159 --> 01:33:13.280 in this huge God 01:33:13.280 --> 01:33:17.159 one's a huge guy one's a little guy 01:33:17.159 --> 01:33:19.560 and the little guys you know 01:33:19.560 --> 01:33:22.139 he has to show up and he's nervous so 01:33:22.139 --> 01:33:24.239 the little guy 01:33:24.239 --> 01:33:28.380 decides he's going to bring a huge 01:33:28.380 --> 01:33:30.360 samurai sword 01:33:30.360 --> 01:33:33.300 right and the big guy brings a regular 01:33:33.300 --> 01:33:36.600 samurai sword and and and because the 01:33:36.600 --> 01:33:40.260 little guy thinks that the sword you 01:33:40.260 --> 01:33:43.800 know that the sword is the weapon 01:33:43.800 --> 01:33:44.719 um 01:33:44.719 --> 01:33:48.179 and you know so the big guys there with 01:33:48.179 --> 01:33:51.960 his sword and the little guy's jerk 01:33:51.960 --> 01:33:55.199 jacking his sword on 01:33:55.199 --> 01:33:58.219 on the bridge 01:33:58.260 --> 01:34:02.100 and he turns around and 01:34:02.100 --> 01:34:07.320 he's holding the sword and he's and 01:34:07.320 --> 01:34:10.260 he confronts the big guy and the big guy 01:34:10.260 --> 01:34:12.179 gets scared and runs away and then the 01:34:12.179 --> 01:34:14.100 master says no it wasn't the sword it 01:34:14.100 --> 01:34:16.620 was the belief in the sword 01:34:16.620 --> 01:34:19.020 um that scared with the master right and 01:34:19.020 --> 01:34:21.600 so that's that's like 01:34:21.600 --> 01:34:25.560 um yeah there's there's the power is 01:34:25.560 --> 01:34:27.900 there the intimacy is there or the will 01:34:27.900 --> 01:34:31.860 to survive or some kind of power is 01:34:31.860 --> 01:34:34.020 there and 01:34:34.020 --> 01:34:37.800 um that's the shared syntax or context 01:34:37.800 --> 01:34:40.560 that's communicated polyphasic to the 01:34:40.560 --> 01:34:40.840 other 01:34:40.840 --> 01:34:42.360 [Music] 01:34:42.360 --> 01:34:46.460 um and the rest is Tai Chi with words 01:34:46.800 --> 01:34:48.420 so 01:34:48.420 --> 01:34:49.440 um 01:34:49.440 --> 01:34:50.760 yeah 01:34:50.760 --> 01:34:54.139 so uh 01:34:55.440 --> 01:34:59.219 it's something that that okay here's the 01:34:59.219 --> 01:35:01.139 perfect example it's something that 01:35:01.139 --> 01:35:03.120 Donald Trump knows 01:35:03.120 --> 01:35:04.920 doesn't care what the he says 01:35:04.920 --> 01:35:07.139 that's not where the communication is 01:35:07.139 --> 01:35:09.679 coming from 01:35:20.219 --> 01:35:22.800 so that is what we swim in the other 01:35:22.800 --> 01:35:27.000 thing other than the language yes 01:35:27.060 --> 01:35:31.639 but where is your identity is is 01:35:36.320 --> 01:35:39.960 I heard you say to the degree that we 01:35:39.960 --> 01:35:41.760 are identifying 01:35:41.760 --> 01:35:43.280 with this 01:35:43.280 --> 01:35:46.620 two-dimensional surface 01:35:46.620 --> 01:35:49.620 existence 01:35:49.820 --> 01:35:53.520 or three-dimensional surface 01:35:53.520 --> 01:35:56.040 uh I don't even know what the weather 01:35:56.040 --> 01:35:57.360 spread 01:35:57.360 --> 01:36:00.719 um that language creates this language 01:36:00.719 --> 01:36:04.560 is it's not it's like the belly button 01:36:04.560 --> 01:36:08.400 is the language and the other word that 01:36:08.400 --> 01:36:11.159 that suggests the 01:36:11.159 --> 01:36:13.739 the subtle depth 01:36:13.739 --> 01:36:17.340 reaction to thesaurus is this field that 01:36:17.340 --> 01:36:19.560 you're talking about 01:36:19.560 --> 01:36:22.560 okay 01:36:23.820 --> 01:36:26.520 or I know I called it feels like I don't 01:36:26.520 --> 01:36:27.380 know 01:36:27.380 --> 01:36:30.420 it's it's the other ways in which we 01:36:30.420 --> 01:36:32.580 learn we learn 01:36:32.580 --> 01:36:34.500 um 01:36:34.500 --> 01:36:36.120 here's a great one of the great 01:36:36.120 --> 01:36:39.840 questions is is what would a I put it in 01:36:39.840 --> 01:36:41.100 there no I can't I probably won't be 01:36:41.100 --> 01:36:43.139 able to remember in the article he says 01:36:43.139 --> 01:36:46.219 what would a 01:36:46.219 --> 01:36:49.520 deaf mute 01:36:52.400 --> 01:36:57.320 three-year-old a deaf mute human 01:37:02.040 --> 01:37:05.400 who hasn't learned to sign what could a 01:37:05.400 --> 01:37:08.159 deaf human who hasn't learned to sign or 01:37:08.159 --> 01:37:09.179 read 01:37:09.179 --> 01:37:12.060 uh illness okay what would an illiterate 01:37:12.060 --> 01:37:14.580 deaf mute human 01:37:14.580 --> 01:37:17.460 who hasn't learned to sign be able to do 01:37:17.460 --> 01:37:20.719 more than a chimpanzee 01:37:23.280 --> 01:37:26.960 and it turns out to be a lot 01:37:27.120 --> 01:37:30.480 a lot because of this polyphasic because 01:37:30.480 --> 01:37:33.480 of these CR so we're mimetic we're 01:37:33.480 --> 01:37:35.280 curious about other people we're 01:37:35.280 --> 01:37:37.739 embedded in culture in a way all these 01:37:37.739 --> 01:37:41.460 ways and the child does a whole lot more 01:37:41.460 --> 01:37:44.460 the illiterate deaf mute 01:37:44.460 --> 01:37:46.860 human who can't sign does a lot more 01:37:46.860 --> 01:37:48.659 than a chimpanzee 01:37:48.659 --> 01:37:53.219 so uh this is the the somatic 01:37:53.219 --> 01:37:55.739 um even at the level of the somatic and 01:37:55.739 --> 01:37:59.699 mimetic uh there's a lot there's a can 01:37:59.699 --> 01:38:01.860 be a lot more going on if we don't 01:38:01.860 --> 01:38:03.659 diminish it 01:38:03.659 --> 01:38:05.940 the problem is we educated out of 01:38:05.940 --> 01:38:08.300 children 01:38:17.880 --> 01:38:19.920 and the interesting thing is the 01:38:19.920 --> 01:38:22.860 opposite that you can Google there is a 01:38:22.860 --> 01:38:24.480 case of a woman 01:38:24.480 --> 01:38:26.820 who was born 01:38:26.820 --> 01:38:28.980 um and her parents put her in a closet 01:38:28.980 --> 01:38:33.000 for something like 17 years 01:38:33.000 --> 01:38:33.960 um 01:38:33.960 --> 01:38:38.100 so she was you know she she 01:38:38.100 --> 01:38:39.719 um and then they rescued her and they 01:38:39.719 --> 01:38:42.840 would could not rehabilitate her 01:38:42.840 --> 01:38:45.960 um not because she like couldn't make 01:38:45.960 --> 01:38:48.480 sounds or had these birth defects but 01:38:48.480 --> 01:38:49.980 she didn't have any 01:38:49.980 --> 01:38:51.480 she didn't learn any of this other 01:38:51.480 --> 01:38:54.620 polyphasic stuff 01:38:56.340 --> 01:38:59.520 she was a diminished person not only a 01:38:59.520 --> 01:39:01.920 diminished person but she could not even 01:39:01.920 --> 01:39:04.620 she wasn't even a healthy animal you 01:39:04.620 --> 01:39:06.060 know what I'm saying and she wasn't like 01:39:06.060 --> 01:39:08.400 a happy pet or something like that she 01:39:08.400 --> 01:39:10.199 was 01:39:10.199 --> 01:39:11.580 yeah 01:39:11.580 --> 01:39:14.179 uh 01:39:16.739 --> 01:39:20.400 oh God it's 12 it's 2 15 already my bars 01:39:20.400 --> 01:39:25.739 my barn

fast it 01:39:34.139 --> 01:39:36.239 was a great debrief on the work we did 01:39:36.239 --> 01:39:40.080 earlier and uh yeah this is a funny 01:39:40.080 --> 01:39:41.940 schedule because the Thursday Saturday 01:39:41.940 --> 01:39:44.100 with this long break in between there's 01:39:44.100 --> 01:39:46.020 some exciting things coming around the 01:39:46.020 --> 01:39:47.820 Horizon

like a cold 00:00:33.879 --> 00:00:37.160 except that uh my brain my brain is not 00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:39.760 my brain no work too 00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:41.920 good 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.640 so gota help me have to help me out 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.199 isn't that what Collective Insight is 00:00:48.199 --> 00:00:51.480 for yes when someone's brain no 00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:55.640 work uh let's see gotta change 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:57.879 this see that 00:00:57.879 --> 00:01:00.960 okay um 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.320 so let's just open it up with uh what's 00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:05.960 been going on what have you been 00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:10.119 thinking about this this 00:01:10.119 --> 00:01:12.759 question uh do you find it curious that 00:01:12.759 --> 00:01:14.799 we don't have an origin 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.240 story 00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:21.720 um yeah what's what's been going 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.040 on and I do have some things to say but 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.280 I just want to piggy back 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.439 afterwards I guess I'll go I did the I 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.360 think the second one or the third one or 00:01:34.360 --> 00:01:37.600 maybe the first one where we we did it 00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:40.040 um the collective Insight I think it was 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:41.479 my first 00:01:41.479 --> 00:01:43.960 time I remember just feeling frustrated 00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:45.640 and 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.759 like 00:01:47.759 --> 00:01:49.479 um 00:01:49.479 --> 00:01:53.320 but I remember it kind of made me 00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:55.119 because I think what was the question it 00:01:55.119 --> 00:01:58.360 was like what is reality or something of 00:01:58.360 --> 00:02:00.880 the sort 00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:03.039 what was the origin maybe that was it 00:02:03.039 --> 00:02:05.039 but I remember having a period in my 00:02:05.039 --> 00:02:06.399 like early 00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:10.520 20s of feeling that a feeling that a 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.200 question of like where do I come from 00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:14.920 and that for me I remember was being it 00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:16.120 was a big 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.160 question like where do I come from like 00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:21.840 is it my Heritage like you know like 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.920 Irish polish that kind of thing or is it 00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:25.840 something 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:27.360 else 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.800 um yeah I don't know 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.840 yeah I don't know what that was but that 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.239 felt I don't know relevant I gu or 00:02:35.239 --> 00:02:38.160 similar in the similar 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.920 vein yeah Collective Insight practice is 00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:55.879 trying to kind of recapture like when 00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:57.840 you're younger you just kind of feel the 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.760 question and you can feel your 00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:06.200 idea is moving around a little but it's 00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:08.120 more like you just keep feeling the 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:09.760 Contours of the question you know 00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:12.040 because little kids they're not they 00:03:12.040 --> 00:03:14.879 don't have a lot of answers to like to 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.560 suck into the question um they just have 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:22.080 this this the questions move like if you 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.280 ever talk to a little kid then they'll 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.080 say why this or why you know the 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.879 questions move just like when you have a 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:33.239 sore back and M is working on it um and 00:03:33.239 --> 00:03:36.319 so that's a little bit 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.680 of um very similar 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.319 to um yeah I love that I didn't never 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:44.879 thought of it before but it is similar 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.200 to the kind of feeling space that 00:03:48.200 --> 00:03:50.519 Collective Insight practice could and 00:03:50.519 --> 00:03:52.439 should put you 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.959 in yeah I know I actually remember one 00:03:55.959 --> 00:03:58.720 more thing after I think maybe a week 00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:01.159 after I did that practice with 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:05.000 you I remember like for 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.560 me the tendency has been like whenever I 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.760 think of the question what is reality it 00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:11.560 feels very 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.479 meaningful um so I remember asking that 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.560 question afterwards but 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:23.160 then also what came up was what is 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.840 connection and that almost 00:04:26.840 --> 00:04:29.240 seemed like the first step for me 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.639 because I know for me like connect 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.520 feeling connection with other people the 00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:35.800 the world around me just feeling 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.520 connected almost felt like more of 00:04:38.520 --> 00:04:42.759 a like a base a baser thing I need to do 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.080 first or something it just feels and 00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:48.080 then reality would come that bigger 00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:50.560 question that's I don't know that seems 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.680 to be what is 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.560 happening 00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:05.560 yeah I made it for one of them as well 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.360 it might have been the second I think 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.199 um also my first time I was excited to 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.280 get to try out uh Collective Insight 00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:15.840 practice my first time doing it you know 00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:17.960 I mean the question was there but I just 00:05:17.960 --> 00:05:19.639 totally dropped it and I was I was 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.600 really just trying to get out of the way 00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:26.280 and uh you know let my my body 00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:28.199 spontaneously Express whatever it wanted 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.680 to express which was it's always intense 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.560 there was a lot of energy um but it it 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.560 was a little confusing it was 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.759 interesting so you know I don't feel 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.160 like I really came close to the question 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:42.600 again throughout that first session at 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.120 least I want to practice this more I'm 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:49.199 eager to but one of the things that um 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:50.800 was sort of with me after the discussion 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.440 we had uh afterwards and thinking about 00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:55.440 the model and I remember there was a 00:05:55.440 --> 00:05:57.759 moment when Bonnie mentioned um the 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.360 non-duality of the tears of joy and and 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.440 sadness joy and grief it's the same 00:06:02.440 --> 00:06:04.960 water it's the same salt 00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:09.280 but when the notion of something like a 00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:11.840 compound individual came up or that 00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:13.520 there's there's a kind of collective 00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:15.240 Insight that's happening now whether we 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.440 fuse into some like meta modad I mean 00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:19.240 I've been the thing about Seaman Don 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:20.360 quite a bit and if there's something 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.479 kind of like transductive that's 00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:24.759 happening in the space when we're 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.840 leaping into this but the nonduality of 00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:30.360 going deep and going high seem to come 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.720 to me like if if Collective Insight is 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:35.800 like if if it's a higher intelligence 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:36.960 that's emerging we get there because 00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:38.919 we're just trying to touch bottom 00:06:38.919 --> 00:06:40.400 together that's what it feels like to me 00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:44.639 so it it's in some ways I don't is there 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.639 a difference between going up and going 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.880 down or is it really just the same thing 00:06:49.880 --> 00:06:53.160 um so this is what is very productive 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.360 about Collective Insight practice it 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:56.599 should 00:06:56.599 --> 00:07:00.120 reveal the framework Within which you're 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.319 operating right and so so then you 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:08.160 you're yeah so that's that's why is I'm 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:09.919 and when I worked with the first frame 00:07:09.919 --> 00:07:11.800 for example I'm like well what is going 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.759 up if going deeper is there what is 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.879 going up and then I hear Veri and Greg 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.479 Enriquez and they're like well it's it's 00:07:20.479 --> 00:07:23.639 chat gp4 and more and more sharing of 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.080 information and I'm saying that's not a 00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:27.800 compound individual that's something 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.440 else and and yet sometimes when they say 00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:34.759 higher they are talking about something 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:36.520 like God which could be the Ultimate 00:07:36.520 --> 00:07:38.840 Compound individual so I'm trying to 00:07:38.840 --> 00:07:41.000 separate like make this discussion like 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.479 what's arising of these multiple 00:07:43.479 --> 00:07:45.440 frames 00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:49.159 that like exactly what you say like um 00:07:49.159 --> 00:07:51.680 they seem to make sense in casual 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:53.720 conversation but when they start to 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.800 render themselves transparent you kind 00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.560 of want to figure out what works work 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:00.879 they're doing right they're doing a 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.560 certain kind of work 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:08.000 um and um so that's why I started this 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.039 with like when you think of something 00:08:10.039 --> 00:08:13.000 like origins or reality you quickly 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:17.479 start to first uh expose epistemic 00:08:17.479 --> 00:08:22.599 constraints or this this framing 00:08:23.479 --> 00:08:26.360 problem yeah this map that 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.319 we that we no longer actually understand 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.879 and and we see that it's made ad hoc 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.399 it's very ad 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.800 hoc he doesn't have the problem he just 00:08:37.800 --> 00:08:42.360 bark not a frame of reference 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.000 unfortunately stop um 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.240 so does that make 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:51.360 sense to your experience a 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.200 little 00:09:11.560 --> 00:09:15.000 so when the child is thinking about 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.880 it they are developing frames right self 00:09:18.880 --> 00:09:21.040 the or they're developing the frame self 00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:22.720 othera and world they're de developing 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.959 the frame of before and after the 00:09:24.959 --> 00:09:27.200 developing the frame of what came 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.959 first um 00:09:29.959 --> 00:09:33.440 and so um but they 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.440 they they grow at in an ad hoc manner in 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.800 and depending upon what you know your 00:09:39.800 --> 00:09:41.480 influences are 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.360 and um you know like you end up thinking 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.240 higher is better and lower is worse 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.240 because of North America South you know 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.920 all these things are um or that left to 00:09:53.920 --> 00:09:55.320 right is a 00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:59.399 progression um so yeah we try trying to 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:02.200 expose some of the 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.839 frames yeah that's coming up for me is 00:10:11.839 --> 00:10:14.920 um how the title is like origin story 00:10:14.920 --> 00:10:16.600 but like from the collective Insight 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.880 practice if that's a story then it's not 00:10:18.880 --> 00:10:20.279 particularly 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.440 linear 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.200 um 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.760 and yeah yeah there's this other 00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:28.959 question that's coming up I I don't know 00:10:28.959 --> 00:10:30.360 if it's at all Associated maybe it's 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.680 really tangental but recently watched 00:10:32.680 --> 00:10:35.279 your Hollows again the hollows a couple 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.720 years ago yeah and you said something 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.959 like what if we are living a past that 00:10:40.959 --> 00:10:42.279 never 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:44.279 existed and I'm just like what the 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:45.360 does that 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:50.240 mean like that's sort of been on my mind 00:10:58.040 --> 00:11:01.040 too 00:11:08.880 --> 00:11:10.480 it's good to see 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.800 everyone Hi um I just wanted to comment 00:11:13.800 --> 00:11:16.399 on this why question of children a young 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:18.959 lady I know William he's into the why 00:11:18.959 --> 00:11:21.680 he's always why why why but what I 00:11:21.680 --> 00:11:24.519 notice is he doesn't actually want me to 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.920 answer the question he just wants me to 00:11:26.920 --> 00:11:29.600 hear him ask the why question and then 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.920 he asks another one and then another one 00:11:31.920 --> 00:11:35.000 and then another one so I find that 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.959 quite quite interesting um and yet in 00:11:39.959 --> 00:11:43.000 the classroom he's just started school 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:44.959 in his class he's paying a lot of 00:11:44.959 --> 00:11:49.040 attention he's very real sponge in a way 00:11:49.040 --> 00:11:50.600 at the moment but he's paying a lot of 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:53.680 attention for some reason to his teacher 00:11:53.680 --> 00:11:56.079 who's teach so really they're doing 00:11:56.079 --> 00:11:59.079 reading not how we used to do reading 00:11:59.079 --> 00:12:00.839 they've changed it back to the phonics 00:12:00.839 --> 00:12:02.600 or the phonetics whatever you want to 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.839 call it um and he is just absorbing all 00:12:05.839 --> 00:12:08.519 this and it amazes me what he can tell 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:11.639 me and how quickly he's reading um we've 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:13.880 not you we've used that system on on and 00:12:13.880 --> 00:12:16.120 off in New Zealand but not much we've 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:17.800 tended to go for what in the old days 00:12:17.800 --> 00:12:19.519 was whole 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:21.839 language so I'm just watching with 00:12:21.839 --> 00:12:25.440 absolute curiosity to see how it all 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.440 works for him and what happens for him 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.399 his EXP experience is a limited in his 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.040 culture CU he's in Myanmar his parents 00:12:34.040 --> 00:12:36.920 are from Myanmar so it's 00:12:36.920 --> 00:12:38.839 fascinating um there's not English 00:12:38.839 --> 00:12:41.639 spoken in the home much but nevertheless 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.600 he's reading really well so I find that 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:47.880 interesting um I'm not sure that 00:12:47.880 --> 00:12:52.360 I fully feel just switching changing the 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.560 subject um I'm 00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:59.040 not I don't know if I am getting for me 00:12:59.040 --> 00:13:02.320 the significance of the origin story two 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.000 things I was watching some more Michael 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.279 LaVine and I'm not sure that is he even 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.480 bothering with an origin story I don't 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.519 know that's one question that I'm 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.240 sitting with the other thing I'm 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.720 wondering is it's interesting that Holly 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.600 mentioned about the 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.959 hollow if I put 00:13:22.959 --> 00:13:27.079 down the linear and I put down the 00:13:27.079 --> 00:13:29.320 bilard balls causality how that 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.120 interacts with 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.519 change what am I able to be with with 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:36.760 some of the 00:13:36.760 --> 00:13:38.680 more 00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:42.000 ancient explanations ancient origin 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:45.240 stories like for myself it's with um the 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:48.680 cabala what what am I with if I'm not 00:13:48.680 --> 00:13:52.120 doing any of that at all what am I 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.920 picking up what am I I don't know and it 00:13:54.920 --> 00:13:59.199 it feels very much to me and I'm only 00:13:59.199 --> 00:14:01.880 just started this inquiry but it does 00:14:01.880 --> 00:14:05.959 feel very like um when I read the Dow J 00:14:05.959 --> 00:14:08.480 Zing it's just similar to the Dow it's 00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:09.360 the 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.120 same what they're saying it's just yeah 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.000 anyway these are just inquiries and 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.079 questions and I have no answers and I'm 00:14:17.079 --> 00:14:18.480 not sure I think I'm like William I'm 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.759 not sure I even want any at the moment 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:22.680 I'm just curious about being the 00:14:22.680 --> 00:14:26.680 questions so yeah thank 00:14:27.680 --> 00:14:30.680 you 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:39.959 one of the things I was playing with 00:14:39.959 --> 00:14:43.959 today just to give you an example 00:14:43.959 --> 00:14:50.240 of this whatever is um so we have this 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.079 so one of the 00:14:52.079 --> 00:14:54.279 assumptions is 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:57.560 that um if I can say something 00:14:57.560 --> 00:15:00.000 fundamental about the Human Experience 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.519 then I'm I'm going to assume or I'm 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:05.720 going to wonder if that's fundamental 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.800 all the way down the stack okay so 00:15:07.800 --> 00:15:09.600 Matthew said this you know like to me 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.959 what's fundamental is relationship 00:15:11.959 --> 00:15:14.240 Whitehead said the same thing 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:18.560 that you know particles are reaching out 00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:21.600 feeling for each other that that that 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.199 feeling and relationship are fundamental 00:15:24.199 --> 00:15:26.000 all the way down the staff right so this 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.120 is how he came up with his theory on 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.199 process in reality it's the same kind of 00:15:31.199 --> 00:15:32.440 assumption 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:35.199 that what is there in front of us is 00:15:35.199 --> 00:15:39.519 like a fractal template for origin or 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.560 for how everything um exists and so I 00:15:43.560 --> 00:15:46.600 was so then I was thinking like 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.240 okay we have this basic 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:52.240 formula um you know there's an arousal 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:55.319 there's arousal and then there's actions 00:15:55.319 --> 00:15:58.160 that satisfy right and it goes through 00:15:58.160 --> 00:15:59.800 perception 00:15:59.800 --> 00:16:03.639 but if we think of something very 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.560 early what does the what does the word 00:16:06.560 --> 00:16:08.720 actions what does the phrase actions 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.120 that satisfy mean because we're we're 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:16.160 thinking of something very fundamental 00:16:16.160 --> 00:16:19.160 like 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.560 um and maybe it means something very 00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:24.120 similar to what it 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:27.800 means uh you know I don't mean like I'm 00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:30.519 aroused I'm coffee I I get coffee that's 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:32.319 an action that satisfied but what is 00:16:32.319 --> 00:16:36.079 that fundamental Loop and can I apply it 00:16:36.079 --> 00:16:39.120 to the 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:41.480 origins 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:43.639 story 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:46.720 um but again that's just me thinking 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.000 around it's not 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:50.800 like 00:16:50.800 --> 00:16:53.160 um but that's why I played that song it 00:16:53.160 --> 00:16:55.600 all started with a feeling it all 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.680 started with some kind of an arousal 00:16:57.680 --> 00:17:00.480 state 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:07.360 since we did that practice the second 00:17:07.360 --> 00:17:12.319 time I've been noticing that 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.760 there's or I'm 00:17:14.760 --> 00:17:19.120 I'm trying to stay with what's the 00:17:19.120 --> 00:17:21.360 biomarker of 00:17:21.360 --> 00:17:23.160 arousal 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:27.079 that is different from the 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.600 mechanical um 00:17:29.600 --> 00:17:32.760 blah blah blah that goes 00:17:32.760 --> 00:17:35.960 on explaining things or anticipating 00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.160 things or 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:39.280 strategizing 00:17:39.280 --> 00:17:42.349 [Music] 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:48.000 um and there's some I I I have a little 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.039 bit of a sense that there's some kind 00:17:52.360 --> 00:17:54.880 of way that 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:56.880 if I 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.120 can make space for 00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:03.320 that that kind of arousal like it's a 00:18:03.320 --> 00:18:05.559 very 00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:08.159 different sensation of 00:18:08.159 --> 00:18:10.400 arousal that something will come that I 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.480 don't know what it is it's like knowing 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.000 there's something over there but I don't 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.280 see it 00:18:21.360 --> 00:18:27.320 um and the it it the contrast of 00:18:27.320 --> 00:18:28.960 the 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:30.520 just the 00:18:30.520 --> 00:18:33.559 mechanical blah blah blah blah blah is 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.880 so marked right now it's I can feel it 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:39.919 as activity it's all here and then but 00:18:39.919 --> 00:18:42.720 there's something else that happens here 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:45.400 that's different and here that's 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:47.039 different 00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:49.880 um and I'm also noticing Sam looks very 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:54.360 different because he got a haircut or 00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:57.320 something so you look like a different 00:18:57.320 --> 00:19:00.320 Sam 00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.080 it that makes me think of you know the 00:19:07.080 --> 00:19:10.240 story I talk about these young men that 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.360 I've worked with 00:19:12.360 --> 00:19:14.640 and they come to me because they can't 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:16.200 feel their feelings and then they're 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.039 surprised because they've been looking 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:19.919 for them in their 00:19:19.919 --> 00:19:23.240 heads um so this might be a part of what 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:25.280 you're saying you know like when the 00:19:25.280 --> 00:19:28.760 understanding comes it might be 00:19:28.760 --> 00:19:30.919 like it might surprise you what you're 00:19:30.919 --> 00:19:34.039 actually looking for what form what form 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:36.360 it's going to come in and if you assume 00:19:36.360 --> 00:19:38.039 is going to come if the word Insight 00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:40.159 makes you think it's going to come in 00:19:40.159 --> 00:19:44.840 a kind of propositional form um 00:19:44.840 --> 00:19:51.440 maybe yeah maybe uh maybe that's that's 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:54.159 um less probable than 00:19:54.159 --> 00:19:57.440 otherwise so where where are you yeah so 00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:00.480 there's a certain bi marker of where you 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:04.000 are expecting the insight to show 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.679 up yeah and now I have no clue I mean I 00:20:07.679 --> 00:20:09.400 just it's so clear to me that it's not 00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:12.799 where I thought it used to be or where I 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:17.400 would I don't know it's 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:21.720 just there's something 00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:26.760 about patience and 00:20:27.159 --> 00:20:31.400 um just go for a walk outside you 00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:33.720 know and I think there's this question 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:36.880 about the indigenous people I mean um do 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:38.840 they feel they have a sense of belonging 00:20:38.840 --> 00:20:40.679 because of their origin stories or are 00:20:40.679 --> 00:20:43.320 their origin 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.600 stories somewhat simple because they 00:20:48.600 --> 00:20:50.480 already have a sense of belonging you 00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:53.480 know I remember wilver saying before you 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:55.799 get it you struggle and struggle and 00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:57.440 struggle for the right words and then 00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:59.760 after you get it any old word word will 00:20:59.760 --> 00:21:02.559 do you know and 00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.559 so so I think that's like for me with it 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.240 why does it matter to 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:12.840 tell an origin story or at least to 00:21:12.840 --> 00:21:15.279 present the modern equivalent of an 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.480 origin story which is to lay it 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:22.240 out um 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:25.480 because many people 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:30.840 are feel displaced right because of 00:21:30.840 --> 00:21:33.640 of and so that's what I'm saying like it 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:35.520 does the origin story really make 00:21:35.520 --> 00:21:38.720 indigenous people feel like they belong 00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:40.559 to the universe or do they feel like 00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:42.000 they belong to the universe and then 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.200 they sing a story like turtles all the 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:47.000 way up and all the way down and I think 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.440 it's more like the second you know and 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.440 um 00:21:55.440 --> 00:22:01.159 yeah although metaphorically it it makes 00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:09.760 sense and I'm just partway through that 00:22:09.760 --> 00:22:13.039 article by Charles eisenstein or that 00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:15.600 interview with Benjamin life and Charles 00:22:15.600 --> 00:22:18.880 eisenstein that I think speaks to this a 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:24.400 little bit the most recent um substack 00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:26.360 post by 00:22:26.360 --> 00:22:30.400 him and that question question 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.240 of do 00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.080 we do we need a story to get out of the 00:22:37.080 --> 00:22:39.039 sort of out of the 00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:41.200 story that we're 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:43.200 in 00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:46.720 um and how do 00:22:46.760 --> 00:22:49.159 we invite that 00:22:49.159 --> 00:22:54.279 or not overly ritualize 00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.960 that 00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:39.360 so maybe we can go back 00:24:39.360 --> 00:24:42.120 to this question of internal and 00:24:42.120 --> 00:24:43.399 external 00:24:43.399 --> 00:24:46.399 relations 00:24:48.919 --> 00:24:53.320 um and the compound individuals so it's 00:24:53.320 --> 00:24:56.320 like 00:24:56.760 --> 00:24:58.279 um 00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:00.799 when we are in 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.159 conversation then some something of the 00:25:03.159 --> 00:25:05.600 other person's subjectivity the word is 00:25:05.600 --> 00:25:07.880 ingresses into me I become internally 00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:12.799 related to them um so I could have be 00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:14.640 having an argue with them and and 00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.279 punching them and yet it's shaping my 00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:19.399 internal subjectivity so when I get up 00:25:19.399 --> 00:25:20.799 and walk 00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:24.559 away there's part of that event that 00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:28.039 interaction has modified me that that's 00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:32.679 what internal relationship is and with 00:25:32.679 --> 00:25:37.360 certain um with certain experiences like 00:25:37.360 --> 00:25:39.159 you know the first time you have like 00:25:39.159 --> 00:25:42.520 amazing sex and you lose the sense of 00:25:42.520 --> 00:25:46.679 whose body is doing who that's kind of 00:25:46.679 --> 00:25:49.000 like the Gap Junctions opening up you 00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:51.120 you become a single identity and that 00:25:51.120 --> 00:25:55.559 would be uh in all internal 00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:58.600 relationships um 00:25:58.600 --> 00:26:02.000 and so in general we have both internal 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:05.960 and external relationships with each 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.799 other they can be 00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:12.880 asymmetric um you could I could 00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.240 be really preoccupied with you really my 00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:19.399 interior life really shaped by you and 00:26:19.399 --> 00:26:21.640 you can't the other person can't escape 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:23.600 some shaping 00:26:23.600 --> 00:26:26.159 but maybe they're your boss and they 00:26:26.159 --> 00:26:28.480 just care that you walk you know that 00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:30.520 you're at your desk on time or something 00:26:30.520 --> 00:26:33.880 like that would be an external 00:26:35.360 --> 00:26:37.840 relationship 00:26:37.840 --> 00:26:41.200 so if you think you could imagine this 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:43.279 is all imagination work right you can 00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:47.399 imagine the very origin is just 00:26:47.399 --> 00:26:49.840 completely into it can't relate to 00:26:49.840 --> 00:26:51.120 anything 00:26:51.120 --> 00:26:53.919 else because it's it's the only thing 00:26:53.919 --> 00:26:56.039 that exists and it's pure potential 00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:58.919 right or whatever it's it's it's pure 00:26:58.919 --> 00:27:01.520 internal 00:27:01.840 --> 00:27:04.200 relations um does that make sense it 00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:06.440 can't can't be externally related to 00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:09.559 anything else and somehow this gives 00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:12.159 rise 00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:16.039 to the condition of external 00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:18.360 relationships you can't start with 00:27:18.360 --> 00:27:21.200 external it it doesn't work because then 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:25.039 you have two things that you have to say 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:27.640 how they exist so if you imagine 00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:29.440 something that's completely internally 00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:33.120 related to itself we could call that God 00:27:33.120 --> 00:27:36.120 um 00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:51.120 um and then you can I feel this kind 00:27:51.120 --> 00:27:56.519 of possibility for people to 00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:58.840 keep 00:27:58.840 --> 00:28:01.080 allowing the world to constantly enter 00:28:01.080 --> 00:28:03.279 you it's kind of 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:06.360 like the the the universe is trying to 00:28:06.360 --> 00:28:09.200 crawl back 00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:11.919 to being internally related to 00:28:11.919 --> 00:28:14.279 everything 00:28:23.120 --> 00:28:25.880 else so that's one thing and then here's 00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:27.679 the question it's always like this 00:28:27.679 --> 00:28:32.000 stupid mental model we have once we get 00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:35.000 to 00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:38.679 like are 00:28:38.679 --> 00:28:42.000 are are atoms I mean I think there's 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:44.600 internal relations in 00:28:44.600 --> 00:28:46.880 atoms okay so one of the ways you can 00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:48.760 think about internal and external 00:28:48.760 --> 00:28:50.720 relationships are 00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:53.880 also this word decomposability 00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:57.880 so if we sit here we're a collective we 00:28:57.880 --> 00:28:59.519 have we know there's some internal 00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:01.960 relationships being built and there's 00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:05.720 external signifiers being exchanged it's 00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:08.679 not all of it makes it you know it's not 00:29:08.679 --> 00:29:10.799 all clear when we talk to each other not 00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:13.799 all of it gets immediately 00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:17.799 absorbed um but this group is quite 00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:20.159 decomposable when we 00:29:20.159 --> 00:29:22.559 leave all the individuals don't 00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:25.720 deteriorate right we can get up and go 00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:29.760 away so this is one definition of why 00:29:29.760 --> 00:29:32.679 it's not a compound 00:29:32.679 --> 00:29:37.159 individual whereas if on myself in my 00:29:37.159 --> 00:29:40.559 body got up and left there would be 00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:42.720 nothing left to me I'm minimally 00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:44.320 decomposable what is a person 00:29:44.320 --> 00:29:48.679 decomposable to well once you're mature 00:29:48.679 --> 00:29:51.039 you can take out organs and put machines 00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:55.080 in there or other organs 00:29:55.080 --> 00:29:59.240 um there's some um and this is this is 00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:02.080 where Levan's work is you know he he's 00:30:02.080 --> 00:30:03.880 going to show us 00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:06.919 that living things are more decomposable 00:30:06.919 --> 00:30:08.000 than you think because you can 00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:11.720 bioengineer them and this is weird stuff 00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:15.120 but um people in general are are 00:30:15.120 --> 00:30:16.519 minimally 00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:19.240 decomposable whereas um JJ always uses 00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.440 the example of a magnet every time you 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:25.240 know has a it has two poles we cut it in 00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:28.279 half each half has two poles so this is 00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:31.000 maximally 00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:35.840 decomposable so these are ideas 00:30:37.360 --> 00:30:40.600 that are just other frames that come in 00:30:40.600 --> 00:30:44.000 when I and other people have done this 00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:46.640 before like these are 00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:49.760 the Simone Den's working with his own 00:30:49.760 --> 00:30:52.200 like these are 00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:56.240 the yeah these are some of 00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:00.880 the pegs to hang your hat 00:31:24.399 --> 00:31:29.039 on let's um make this zoom out now and 00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:31.720 ask this question 00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:34.679 should should a spirituality have an 00:31:34.679 --> 00:31:38.919 origin story and if or why does it 00:31:38.919 --> 00:31:40.480 matter 00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:45.399 um um and this is interesting to me 00:31:45.399 --> 00:31:50.200 because you know in my community RIT 00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:55.000 large there's a lot of people trying to 00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:56.760 you know Charles eisenstein tell a new 00:31:56.760 --> 00:32:00.799 story or um cosmotic humanism is a whole 00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:02.559 metaphysics 00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:08.039 of reality and the nature of you know 00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:09.799 reality 00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:12.919 um and there's this resurgent in the 00:32:12.919 --> 00:32:14.120 religious 00:32:14.120 --> 00:32:19.600 impulse and um yeah my question 00:32:19.600 --> 00:32:22.679 is there's a spirituality need a origin 00:32:22.679 --> 00:32:24.440 story 00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:26.080 or 00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:28.440 um 00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.120 or does it matter is it 00:32:31.120 --> 00:32:34.120 helpful 00:32:38.080 --> 00:32:41.799 yeah one sort of question that I was 00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:44.240 thinking of just a few minutes ago when 00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:46.720 you were talking about all these 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:48.559 different pegs we could hang our hat on 00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:49.639 for 00:32:49.639 --> 00:32:53.799 this um 00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:59.039 was um 00:32:59.679 --> 00:33:02.480 how much of this is metaphor and how 00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:03.960 much of this is 00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:06.480 real and in terms of what we're talking 00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:09.559 about here and I don't know why I was 00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:12.639 kind of smiling because it all 00:33:12.639 --> 00:33:15.320 seemed silly I don't know maybe not 00:33:15.320 --> 00:33:17.120 silly 00:33:17.120 --> 00:33:20.120 but the one thought that occurred to me 00:33:20.120 --> 00:33:25.000 was maybe we don't need like a story 00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:27.600 that says this is how it is but more 00:33:27.600 --> 00:33:30.320 something along the lines of 00:33:30.320 --> 00:33:34.440 poetry like when I think of like roomies 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:38.240 like or reading like Walden or something 00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:42.519 it it it it it does something and I 00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:46.080 don't necessarily take it as maybe I'm 00:33:46.080 --> 00:33:49.559 less inclined to take it as oh this is 00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:53.880 how things are and get all you 00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:58.159 know chunky with it it 00:33:58.159 --> 00:34:00.639 like sits it has a feeling that sits and 00:34:00.639 --> 00:34:02.120 it I don't know it does something 00:34:02.120 --> 00:34:05.200 different it seems I don't 00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:08.200 know 00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:12.480 feeling I think we're trying to what 00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:15.720 we're trying to express as an origin 00:34:15.720 --> 00:34:18.320 story is imaginal or speculative 00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:21.480 philosophy but I think it what matters 00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:24.200 is real and so for example and 00:34:24.200 --> 00:34:25.879 contemporary 00:34:25.879 --> 00:34:27.919 so 00:34:27.919 --> 00:34:31.800 and in some there's some 00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:36.000 indication that 00:34:36.200 --> 00:34:39.839 um you see if if we're members of this a 00:34:39.839 --> 00:34:43.720 society the way my CS are part of me 00:34:43.720 --> 00:34:45.200 then I have 00:34:45.200 --> 00:34:48.399 no i h i don't I I lack a certain kind 00:34:48.399 --> 00:34:50.359 of 00:34:50.359 --> 00:34:54.520 agency so is is is the collective is is 00:34:54.520 --> 00:34:58.200 society a compound individual 00:34:58.200 --> 00:35:01.000 um or is it something 00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:04.920 else um so that's 00:35:05.200 --> 00:35:10.680 that's one thing why it matters 00:35:17.240 --> 00:35:20.359 um yeah and it's a cyborg a compound 00:35:20.359 --> 00:35:23.760 individual or is it a collection of 00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:27.880 parts I don't know these are questions 00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:32.760 um is a body a big ritual is it just a 00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:35.760 habit these are questions that I think 00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:37.800 are populate 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:41.280 our contemporary imagination and have 00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:42.920 real 00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:45.440 world 00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:49.440 uh consequences 00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:55.000 Anna hi everyone thanks Matt for that 00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:57.520 last thing because something arose for 00:35:57.520 --> 00:36:00.640 me around the origins and the word 00:36:00.640 --> 00:36:03.560 signal and Remembrance because I had a 00:36:03.560 --> 00:36:05.560 walk this morning 00:36:05.560 --> 00:36:09.280 and the dog was just beside me and and 00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:11.319 it's spring with it's the second day 00:36:11.319 --> 00:36:13.440 just had full moon and then all of a 00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:16.160 sudden this huge wind blowing in from 00:36:16.160 --> 00:36:19.480 the Cliffs of the ocean and I was like 00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:22.520 literally blown away and then there is a 00:36:22.520 --> 00:36:25.680 blue feather right right in front of me 00:36:25.680 --> 00:36:28.040 and I'm I'm thinking what the am I 00:36:28.040 --> 00:36:29.680 going to start making meaning here of 00:36:29.680 --> 00:36:31.400 things or am I just going to stay in 00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:32.319 this 00:36:32.319 --> 00:36:34.960 experience and the moment I allowed 00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:38.880 myself to stay there it went from from 00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:41.040 to the heart and all of a sudden I felt 00:36:41.040 --> 00:36:43.800 this Radiance of love like pouring out 00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:46.520 and it poured in it's like I allowed it 00:36:46.520 --> 00:36:49.200 in I let the world 00:36:49.200 --> 00:36:51.640 in and that 00:36:51.640 --> 00:36:54.319 was and then all of a sudden I felt my 00:36:54.319 --> 00:36:56.839 grandfather beside me and I I all his 00:36:56.839 --> 00:36:58.920 work that he's been writing and about 00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:00.960 telepathy and about all of that stuff 00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:03.960 like boom hit me and I was what the 00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:07.160 is this H what's happening here and it 00:37:07.160 --> 00:37:09.880 made me feel alive and I let it all go 00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:12.680 and I thought Yep this is my pilgrimage 00:37:12.680 --> 00:37:15.000 and I don't have one place I don't have 00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:17.640 to go to Santiago de compostella or 00:37:17.640 --> 00:37:21.200 wherever I am and that's the signal that 00:37:21.200 --> 00:37:24.960 I'm feeling and this I amness is growing 00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:27.400 but this I amness is also so a 00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:29.240 remembrance and almost like a 00:37:29.240 --> 00:37:33.280 responsibility I feel when I am with 00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:36.880 others and it's almost like the seeing 00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:39.960 when there is an I am and an I am and 00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:42.359 they meet the 00:37:42.359 --> 00:37:48.040 it and the it is it that's it it's like 00:37:48.040 --> 00:37:49.960 I am it and you are it and we are it and 00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.119 he is it and she is it and that's that 00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:54.359 it's very simple but it is not at the 00:37:54.359 --> 00:37:57.560 same time and 00:37:57.560 --> 00:37:59.119 because my mind is in the way because 00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.760 I'm making meaning of stuff because 00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:03.760 that's how what I've been taught in in 00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:05.920 school to make meaning of stuff what 00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:07.880 does the color blue mean or what does 00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:11.400 the tree mean no can I feel the tree can 00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:14.599 I feel the signal of the aliveness the 00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:16.920 Vitality of what's around me and in me 00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:19.760 and can I relate with that and there's 00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:22.319 this I'll get goosebumps when I just I 00:38:22.319 --> 00:38:24.720 don't know I'll probably leave it here 00:38:24.720 --> 00:38:28.520 because this is it 00:38:37.359 --> 00:38:40.480 that was great thanks Anna um yeah to 00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:41.960 that question of you know do we need an 00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:43.640 origin story and I've 00:38:43.640 --> 00:38:46.839 been thinking you know being in this new 00:38:46.839 --> 00:38:49.760 I'm in a new landscape here in in uh New 00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:51.280 England 00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:54.079 and um I don't I don't need to know it's 00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:55.760 origin story it's kind of what I'm 00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:57.960 realizing it's it's so much more about 00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.720 tending to so I don't know the origin 00:39:00.720 --> 00:39:02.680 story of the lake or the 00:39:02.680 --> 00:39:05.119 trees um but what's more important is 00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:07.280 for me at least is this sort of aspect 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:10.920 of cording and cording for me is tending 00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:13.240 to it's paying attention what makes what 00:39:13.240 --> 00:39:15.240 makes this what's the essence of this 00:39:15.240 --> 00:39:18.800 place what makes it um original you know 00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:20.280 so maybe it's not so much an origin 00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:22.119 story but it's tending to what makes 00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:24.760 something kind of original what makes it 00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:27.000 unique and differentiated 00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:29.480 um and and that's from there then that 00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:31.880 leads that moves me or or leads to 00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:33.520 different actions and behaviors is just 00:39:33.520 --> 00:39:37.319 tending to the area and what it's 00:39:37.319 --> 00:39:40.280 calling paying attention to it and then 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:42.800 it shows me how to respond to it kind of 00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:44.000 um just like when you're courting 00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:45.319 somebody you know you kind of look at 00:39:45.319 --> 00:39:47.000 their particulars and what makes them 00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:50.000 unique and interesting and then you you 00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:53.480 serve that you honor that you um you 00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:56.680 give yourself to them in that way so um 00:39:56.680 --> 00:39:58.280 yeah maybe we don't need an origin story 00:39:58.280 --> 00:39:59.960 but maybe more tending to what makes 00:39:59.960 --> 00:40:03.079 something original and in that way of 00:40:03.079 --> 00:40:04.560 falling in love with with the world 00:40:04.560 --> 00:40:06.440 around 00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:10.839 us I love that now origin original I 00:40:10.839 --> 00:40:15.560 love that that's very rich 00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:20.240 Sam yeah that was that was great um I 00:40:20.240 --> 00:40:23.400 think about run rasmason we encountered 00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:25.599 R rasm Mason's work he's like the Nordic 00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:27.480 animism guy 00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:31.079 I encountered him through bioa and he 00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:33.760 has this uh I don't remember what it's 00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:37.839 called but he has this video on Nordic 00:40:37.839 --> 00:40:40.359 animist mythology and essentially one 00:40:40.359 --> 00:40:43.440 one of the things he's saying is 00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:45.960 that we can think like the post axial 00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:47.760 age like he calls it a discontinuous 00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:49.599 cosmology you know you have like the 00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:53.520 sense of a realm that's Transcendent to 00:40:53.520 --> 00:40:55.240 where we are right now and that actually 00:40:55.240 --> 00:40:56.720 that's actually the basis for having an 00:40:56.720 --> 00:40:59.200 origin story that just stays the same 00:40:59.200 --> 00:41:01.440 and is consistent and like Remains the 00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:03.880 Same story that we always refer back to 00:41:03.880 --> 00:41:05.240 and he's he's almost saying that like 00:41:05.240 --> 00:41:08.040 for like like genuine animism and he's 00:41:08.040 --> 00:41:09.800 talking about syntic animism it's really 00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:12.480 syncretic it's always kind of 00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:15.720 improvising and it's its function is not 00:41:15.720 --> 00:41:18.000 so much to give an account that is 00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:22.440 static uh but more to um like facilitate 00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:25.000 the ongoing Act of creating linkages and 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:26.839 and ritual relating he says it so it's 00:41:26.839 --> 00:41:28.839 like it's actually like it's the it's 00:41:28.839 --> 00:41:31.880 like a senu or it's like fascia almost 00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:34.480 that sort of bind together the ways that 00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:36.880 we relating to intending 00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:38.880 relationships um which is kind of 00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:40.359 interesting so this question like I mean 00:41:40.359 --> 00:41:42.000 do we need an origin story but I guess 00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:43.880 do we need something like story do we 00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:47.240 need something um 00:41:47.240 --> 00:41:51.359 that that creates some kind of 00:41:51.359 --> 00:41:53.760 um I mean this this idea of whether we 00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:55.599 need meaning or not you know can we just 00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:57.160 dispense with that all together and just 00:41:57.160 --> 00:41:59.440 kind of operate from something much more 00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:01.720 uh immediate like a feeling and kind of 00:42:01.720 --> 00:42:05.040 let let that be primordial right and 00:42:05.040 --> 00:42:06.800 it's interesting in in the kind of 00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:08.920 communal revery practice further on 00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:11.040 we've only done this on Zoom but it's 00:42:11.040 --> 00:42:14.160 like eventually like we you know it' be 00:42:14.160 --> 00:42:15.960 like groups rather than doing kind of 00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:17.800 collective Insight we just sense in and 00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:20.240 then just let images come and sometimes 00:42:20.240 --> 00:42:22.559 they'd have like these really like 00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:25.359 incredibly beautiful Legend like or 00:42:25.359 --> 00:42:27.480 myth-like stor would just come out of 00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:30.480 nowhere and the relationships between 00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:33.880 these figures would have this really 00:42:33.880 --> 00:42:36.000 these beautiful qualities and it it had 00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:38.079 this feeling of being deeply mysterious 00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:39.920 and symbolic but they they just come out 00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:41.240 of nowhere and then we kind of put them 00:42:41.240 --> 00:42:43.119 down and we don't like hang on to them 00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:44.920 and take them with us and like make them 00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:47.920 into this story but there is this um 00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:51.720 capacity for I guess why have there been 00:42:51.720 --> 00:42:54.160 origin stories at all you know what 00:42:54.160 --> 00:42:57.119 function in in like Nordic animist 00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:00.000 cosmology would even a syncretic kind of 00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:04.240 ongoing improvising kind of story that 00:43:04.240 --> 00:43:06.440 can how does that how does that 00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:08.200 facilitate relating I guess that's what 00:43:08.200 --> 00:43:10.240 I'm wondering you know is story 00:43:10.240 --> 00:43:12.800 unnecessary or does it can it be 00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:15.880 something that doesn't need to be static 00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:16.720 like an 00:43:16.720 --> 00:43:19.359 unchanging uh story or myth mytho but 00:43:19.359 --> 00:43:21.839 something that 00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:25.359 can just change change and develop as 00:43:25.359 --> 00:43:27.079 things are are changing and developing 00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:29.079 all the time anyway you know I I don't 00:43:29.079 --> 00:43:30.240 know I don't know what the role of all 00:43:30.240 --> 00:43:34.079 that stuff is but it's coming 00:43:41.839 --> 00:43:45.319 UPA hi I think uh I just want to say I 00:43:45.319 --> 00:43:48.559 think I think we need a story oh I I 00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:50.640 think I need a story that's it I think 00:43:50.640 --> 00:43:54.839 so but I don't have uh reason to tell 00:43:54.839 --> 00:43:58.559 you yeah we don't we we don't have to 00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:01.359 justify here um because these are just 00:44:01.359 --> 00:44:04.720 these are feeling truth s you know we 00:44:04.720 --> 00:44:07.440 just we just we just feel that that's 00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:10.079 the case these these can't be resolved 00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:14.559 these question isn't resolvable it's 00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:17.559 whether 00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.680 yeah you know it's funny 00:44:22.680 --> 00:44:24.359 because 00:44:24.359 --> 00:44:28.359 um depending upon your 00:44:29.200 --> 00:44:32.640 upbringing you get 00:44:33.400 --> 00:44:37.640 told um you know there's a lot of myths 00:44:37.640 --> 00:44:39.400 that you're told like Santa Claus and 00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:40.599 the Tooth 00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:44.240 Fairy and the origins maybe the origin 00:44:44.240 --> 00:44:47.240 story um maybe that's what you're saying 00:44:47.240 --> 00:44:50.480 Sam so then the the thing about growing 00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:53.240 up Catholic when I grew up was like the 00:44:53.240 --> 00:44:55.359 origin stories that you're told when 00:44:55.359 --> 00:44:56.640 you're a kid 00:44:56.640 --> 00:45:01.400 is like a Santa Claus story and then um 00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:04.200 but then it it doesn't really like 00:45:04.200 --> 00:45:05.800 you're surrounded by adults that just 00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:08.200 believe the very simple literal story 00:45:08.200 --> 00:45:11.520 you know that it hasn't it 00:45:11.520 --> 00:45:15.760 hasn't lived 00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:18.920 in hasn't morphed or lived through 00:45:18.920 --> 00:45:20.839 people's experience it's just a 00:45:20.839 --> 00:45:23.640 placeholder or 00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:27.880 something 00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:36.359 yeah I'm thinking about the origin 00:45:36.359 --> 00:45:40.920 stories and so yeah many people you 00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:43.520 know well or at least 00:45:43.520 --> 00:45:45.480 personally when you're young and then 00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:47.319 you all of a sudden you realize everyone 00:45:47.319 --> 00:45:50.400 else is kind of buying the simple story 00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:53.119 and you know you kind of get that period 00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:54.880 of disillusionment and I'm 00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:57.440 wondering earlier someone here I think 00:45:57.440 --> 00:45:59.240 it was iani said something 00:45:59.240 --> 00:46:03.359 about the the causality of the 00:46:03.359 --> 00:46:05.680 indigenous right do they do they sing 00:46:05.680 --> 00:46:07.319 these myths because they feel belonging 00:46:07.319 --> 00:46:09.520 or do they feel belonging because they 00:46:09.520 --> 00:46:11.559 or you know what happened 00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:14.240 first and I'm wondering you know like if 00:46:14.240 --> 00:46:16.960 if we all came from indigenous peoples 00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:18.440 at one point 00:46:18.440 --> 00:46:20.800 supposedly right it's like okay then why 00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:23.800 did we stop well how come some cultures 00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:24.599 became 00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:26.800 different um 00:46:26.800 --> 00:46:28.119 and I wondering if it has to do with 00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:31.599 something with like that 00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:34.280 same disconnection from belonging that 00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:36.319 we just kind of that you talked about 00:46:36.319 --> 00:46:37.359 right there where you realize all the 00:46:37.359 --> 00:46:39.920 adults are buying the simple 00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:43.680 story like you know imagine 00:46:43.680 --> 00:46:46.559 you're 100 thousand years ago whatever I 00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:49.119 I don't know the timeline but you're in 00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:50.880 this indigenous community and then you 00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:54.440 kind of have this like wait this is 00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:57.640 like or like or may do or maybe you 00:46:57.640 --> 00:46:59.480 you're for some reason you feel a 00:46:59.480 --> 00:47:02.400 connection a disconnection you feel like 00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:03.960 a separation so you don't feel that 00:47:03.960 --> 00:47:06.760 belonging with the tribe and 00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:08.400 then 00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:11.200 you feel compelled 00:47:11.200 --> 00:47:16.079 to seek truth elsewhere so I'm wondering 00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:18.839 if there's something 00:47:18.839 --> 00:47:21.480 about you know maybe it's your someone 00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:25.839 was bored or maybe they just had a an in 00:47:25.839 --> 00:47:28.920 think that the world was more beautiful 00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:31.200 than the their Community they are part 00:47:31.200 --> 00:47:34.119 of portrayed it 00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.160 as and I'm wondering if that sort of 00:47:37.160 --> 00:47:40.000 impulse is what 00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:41.960 drives 00:47:41.960 --> 00:47:44.880 um cultures to change and new cultures 00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:47.920 to come about in some 00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:51.839 way well you know it's interesting 00:47:51.839 --> 00:47:55.240 because I mean it can't speak for all 00:47:55.240 --> 00:47:57.839 indigenous people so just kind of 00:47:57.839 --> 00:48:01.760 categorize here um but well let's just 00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:04.520 look at Genesis the Old Testament I mean 00:48:04.520 --> 00:48:07.359 Genesis is not really interested in why 00:48:07.359 --> 00:48:09.200 did the how the stars and the Sun and 00:48:09.200 --> 00:48:11.520 the Moon and the planets came into 00:48:11.520 --> 00:48:13.760 existence they're really interested in 00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:16.880 telling the story of the Hebrew people 00:48:16.880 --> 00:48:19.119 right so they go like this happened this 00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:21.160 happened then it starts and it gets very 00:48:21.160 --> 00:48:24.640 juicy and all this stuff and and I think 00:48:24.640 --> 00:48:26.200 that 00:48:26.200 --> 00:48:30.040 um I think a lot of TR indigenous origin 00:48:30.040 --> 00:48:34.160 stories are more like that like 00:48:34.160 --> 00:48:37.079 they they feel deeply belonging to the 00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:39.440 earth and the animals and stuff but what 00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:41.760 all that stuff up 00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:45.559 there is allowed to be somewhat 00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:48.119 mysterious and then you get the then you 00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:50.839 get you know mo modernity and we're like 00:48:50.839 --> 00:48:54.119 oh we we can trace this back to the 00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:57.359 beginning of time right so this OB this 00:48:57.359 --> 00:49:00.480 Frame itself is an obsession that 00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:05.480 emerges only in a certain a certain 00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:08.839 uh so this the story that 00:49:08.839 --> 00:49:12.240 just um situates you in your tribe and 00:49:12.240 --> 00:49:15.240 maybe down to your totem that had some 00:49:15.240 --> 00:49:17.720 animals in in your 00:49:17.720 --> 00:49:21.960 landscape that ceases to be satisfying 00:49:21.960 --> 00:49:25.319 anymore and we start asking questions at 00:49:25.319 --> 00:49:26.680 this 00:49:26.680 --> 00:49:32.319 Monumental scale and time frame 00:49:33.680 --> 00:49:37.119 um which is 00:49:48.559 --> 00:49:51.640 interesting the question I have is 00:49:51.640 --> 00:49:53.520 what what 00:49:53.520 --> 00:49:58.760 purpose does an origin story serve or 00:49:58.760 --> 00:50:00.359 you know when you raised the question 00:50:00.359 --> 00:50:03.799 Bonnie about should should 00:50:03.799 --> 00:50:07.599 spirituality have an origin story or 00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:10.839 should and 00:50:12.359 --> 00:50:15.760 I it it seems 00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:19.160 like there's 00:50:21.640 --> 00:50:24.240 a there's a way that 00:50:24.240 --> 00:50:30.040 it's it's generative of some kind of 00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:33.559 belonging 00:50:34.799 --> 00:50:37.319 and does that 00:50:37.319 --> 00:50:41.640 then move into exclusion of those who 00:50:41.640 --> 00:50:46.200 don't belong or you know I I start to 00:50:46.200 --> 00:50:49.000 wonder 00:50:51.599 --> 00:50:55.079 about why we want to explain things in 00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:56.839 that way 00:50:56.839 --> 00:50:59.480 way and then 00:50:59.480 --> 00:51:01.400 further 00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:03.559 having 00:51:03.559 --> 00:51:07.520 um Revisited the trust 00:51:07.520 --> 00:51:11.119 material wondering do we just 00:51:11.119 --> 00:51:14.119 need 00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:20.799 a a deeper sense 00:51:21.480 --> 00:51:26.640 of how do we trust how do we 00:51:26.640 --> 00:51:31.440 operate inside of our trust 00:51:32.200 --> 00:51:34.880 networks and the last question that has 00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:38.960 been percolating is I I don't I'm really 00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:45.200 fuzzy on my biology but is 00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:49.079 this what about the first amoeba like is 00:51:49.079 --> 00:51:53.359 it just is our origin story something 00:51:53.359 --> 00:51:54.359 like 00:51:54.359 --> 00:51:57.040 that 00:51:57.040 --> 00:51:58.200 this is the 00:51:58.200 --> 00:52:02.359 overarching metaphor that 00:52:02.359 --> 00:52:06.240 I keep coming back to that I think the 00:52:06.240 --> 00:52:10.280 or an origin story that 00:52:11.240 --> 00:52:15.200 is um inspiring and TR and truthful 00:52:15.200 --> 00:52:17.760 enough you know it's not like okay there 00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:20.319 was a first turtle and then they had b a 00:52:20.319 --> 00:52:22.760 turtle you know truthful enough still 00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:26.440 imaginary and speculative is that that 00:52:26.440 --> 00:52:28.400 go you know God or origin is like the 00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:30.720 first 00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:32.480 amiea 00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:37.240 and so when Anna describes what she was 00:52:37.240 --> 00:52:40.160 saying and she didn't think about what 00:52:40.160 --> 00:52:42.559 was going on she didn't turned the 00:52:42.559 --> 00:52:45.359 experience into being externally related 00:52:45.359 --> 00:52:47.960 to the Ling lingu it was and then she 00:52:47.960 --> 00:52:50.520 just look at she said I am like what is 00:52:50.520 --> 00:52:52.920 that very Christopher Alexander he sees 00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:53.839 his 00:52:53.839 --> 00:52:57.480 self that he sees in this this 00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:00.119 extraordinary experience the same Living 00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:04.280 Center that's in him and this is 00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:08.799 like the amoeba realizing that you know 00:53:08.799 --> 00:53:10.280 the amoeba maybe I just read a 00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:11.880 children's story for that chapter the 00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:15.160 amoeba is sad because it can't find its 00:53:15.160 --> 00:53:18.599 parent and then it realizes 00:53:18.599 --> 00:53:21.359 that you know the first in the same way 00:53:21.359 --> 00:53:23.440 that the first amoeba is there and not 00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:25.839 there at the same time 00:53:25.839 --> 00:53:28.359 this compound individual that's only 00:53:28.359 --> 00:53:30.680 internally 00:53:30.680 --> 00:53:33.799 related establishes the internal 00:53:33.799 --> 00:53:36.520 relationships of everything 00:53:36.520 --> 00:53:39.799 else um so we're and then this 00:53:39.799 --> 00:53:42.920 extraordinary thing happens where um 00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:46.359 like the mutation then in this origin 00:53:46.359 --> 00:53:49.079 Stories 00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:53.280 the the ability to have external 00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:56.599 relations the ability to to be 00:53:56.599 --> 00:54:00.760 externally related to each other um and 00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:02.720 not just one a 00:54:02.720 --> 00:54:06.000 glutenous amoeba right which means that 00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:08.000 amoeba have to eat each other and all 00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:09.680 this other stuff there's a lot of 00:54:09.680 --> 00:54:15.160 consequences from it but 00:54:15.160 --> 00:54:18.760 um yeah I just keep coming back to that 00:54:18.760 --> 00:54:21.000 is the first am but still around and I 00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:24.799 think this is what people say when they 00:54:24.799 --> 00:54:28.799 say you know speak from Source it's that 00:54:28.799 --> 00:54:32.440 part of you that's the 00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:35.640 originary internal 00:54:35.640 --> 00:54:37.640 relationship it's the part of you that's 00:54:37.640 --> 00:54:41.640 still the amoeba still the first amoeba 00:54:41.640 --> 00:54:43.319 but it's not like it gets distributed 00:54:43.319 --> 00:54:45.319 and watered down right 00:54:45.319 --> 00:54:49.280 because every amoeba is not just it's 00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:51.799 not like the amoeba cuts into two and 00:54:51.799 --> 00:54:54.760 cuts into two so now the existing amibas 00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:56.880 at tiny tiny little things after being 00:54:56.880 --> 00:54:59.880 cut into two it's not you know what I'm 00:54:59.880 --> 00:55:01.720 saying it's 00:55:01.720 --> 00:55:04.920 it's it's not reduction 00:55:04.920 --> 00:55:08.440 over over time over 00:55:08.440 --> 00:55:10.359 propagation uh which that's another 00:55:10.359 --> 00:55:14.040 interesting thing to to think 00:55:14.720 --> 00:55:17.319 about 00:55:17.319 --> 00:55:20.520 that uh because it could have been 00:55:20.520 --> 00:55:21.720 otherwise right it could have been 00:55:21.720 --> 00:55:23.039 something that 00:55:23.039 --> 00:55:27.000 just continually 00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:29.480 divides and reduces itself but that's 00:55:29.480 --> 00:55:31.920 also part of the metaphor is that that 00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:37.000 doesn't happen it's not reduced as it 00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:40.000 divides 00:55:41.039 --> 00:55:44.599 um and of course the first if you want 00:55:44.599 --> 00:55:46.839 to give a DA spare to it the first 00:55:46.839 --> 00:55:49.599 division is yin and yang but the yin is 00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:51.440 internally related to the Yang and the 00:55:51.440 --> 00:55:53.359 Yang is internally related to the yin 00:55:53.359 --> 00:55:55.200 that's why the white one has a little 00:55:55.200 --> 00:55:57.200 dark circle and the dark one has a 00:55:57.200 --> 00:56:00.839 little light circle because the internal 00:56:00.839 --> 00:56:04.760 relations reconstitute the 00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:09.480 whole say it's a way to say the same 00:56:09.480 --> 00:56:13.160 thing it's not like the yin is part Yang 00:56:13.160 --> 00:56:16.400 Yang is the in internal scepter of the 00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:18.319 yin and Yin is the 00:56:18.319 --> 00:56:21.240 internal scepter and then yin and yang 00:56:21.240 --> 00:56:25.440 are are externally related to each other 00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:27.960 in their 00:56:30.250 --> 00:56:33.380 [Music] 00:56:40.480 --> 00:56:42.559 interactions I just had a fun moment 00:56:42.559 --> 00:56:44.680 where I wanted to look up the emology of 00:56:44.680 --> 00:56:47.200 the word origin and usually when I do 00:56:47.200 --> 00:56:48.920 that I just type like emology and then 00:56:48.920 --> 00:56:51.960 the word so I typed emology origin and 00:56:51.960 --> 00:56:53.520 then it gave me like the origin of 00:56:53.520 --> 00:56:55.960 atmology instead of like 00:56:55.960 --> 00:56:58.559 the etymology of 00:56:58.559 --> 00:57:01.920 origin well atmology means origin right 00:57:01.920 --> 00:57:06.000 yeah in a way in a way 00:57:23.799 --> 00:57:26.799 yeah 00:57:47.400 --> 00:57:49.559 I don't think I understand a lot of what 00:57:49.559 --> 00:57:52.079 we're talking 00:57:53.680 --> 00:57:56.680 about well well do do you understand 00:57:56.680 --> 00:58:00.839 that phrase is the first amiea still 00:58:04.680 --> 00:58:07.839 around I 00:58:10.200 --> 00:58:15.760 can I mean you understand yeah like yeah 00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:20.280 theia to works on down the line to you 00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:21.599 and everything 00:58:21.599 --> 00:58:23.720 else 00:58:23.720 --> 00:58:26.720 right 00:58:27.280 --> 00:58:29.000 is that the right I don't know I don't 00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:32.000 know is that the right I don't know way 00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:35.599 to think about it I don't know like I 00:58:35.599 --> 00:58:37.839 don't 00:58:38.079 --> 00:58:40.480 know sorry I have a lot of fire trucks 00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:42.640 here 00:58:43.119 --> 00:58:46.319 right is it the same question as uh if 00:58:46.319 --> 00:58:48.240 we ask ourselves are we drinking Dino 00:58:48.240 --> 00:58:51.119 pee in the 00:58:53.720 --> 00:58:56.720 water 00:58:59.839 --> 00:59:02.880 well is the first dinosaur still around 00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:05.039 are the dinosaurs still 00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:07.359 here right well 00:59:07.359 --> 00:59:11.880 that's supposedly they evolved into 00:59:18.520 --> 00:59:23.240 Birds they also became gasoline or 00:59:23.400 --> 00:59:26.640 oil yes 00:59:32.240 --> 00:59:35.720 interesting it comes I don't know for Me 00:59:35.720 --> 00:59:38.280 Maybe it comes back to like because 00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:40.680 we're still when we say it's this first 00:59:40.680 --> 00:59:43.119 to me around that kind of 00:59:43.119 --> 00:59:45.799 thing to me it brings me back to the 00:59:45.799 --> 00:59:49.400 question of do we need a story because 00:59:49.400 --> 00:59:51.280 because even that seems like a story to 00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:53.640 me you 00:59:53.640 --> 00:59:56.920 know that's kind of where I 00:59:56.920 --> 01:00:02.960 go well I would argue that you operate 01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:07.039 within different stories all the time 01:00:07.039 --> 01:00:11.200 like for the most part we tend to assume 01:00:11.200 --> 01:00:12.760 that there was a big bang and then 01:00:12.760 --> 01:00:14.200 something happened that we don't 01:00:14.200 --> 01:00:15.920 understand because we're not physicists 01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:18.799 and then these things happen in gravity 01:00:18.799 --> 01:00:21.319 and P and blah blah blah and 01:00:21.319 --> 01:00:26.760 then otions and soup and then proteins 01:00:26.760 --> 01:00:29.480 and then lipids and then cellular life I 01:00:29.480 --> 01:00:32.359 mean it's it's a story filled with holes 01:00:32.359 --> 01:00:34.400 but in 01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:38.960 general many of us even if we sit here 01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:41.319 and examine it and say no I don't really 01:00:41.319 --> 01:00:46.000 believe that this is how we tend to our 01:00:46.000 --> 01:00:48.640 basis of 01:00:49.119 --> 01:00:52.319 operation so that may be a good thing it 01:00:52.319 --> 01:00:56.960 may be a bad thing maybe a new neutral 01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:01.680 thing yeah I mean I think stories have 01:01:01.680 --> 01:01:03.359 definitely the power to move 01:01:03.359 --> 01:01:06.520 us the story I grew up with original sin 01:01:06.520 --> 01:01:08.160 you know that was a big big story for me 01:01:08.160 --> 01:01:10.160 growing up and the story we're telling 01:01:10.160 --> 01:01:13.079 now was really different from that story 01:01:13.079 --> 01:01:15.599 but how that story moved me and you know 01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:17.039 affected my behavior in a lot of 01:01:17.039 --> 01:01:18.280 different ways 01:01:18.280 --> 01:01:21.640 so it's important yeah that's a big one 01:01:21.640 --> 01:01:23.079 for me 01:01:23.079 --> 01:01:26.160 too people gr up and they they even if 01:01:26.160 --> 01:01:28.400 you sit there it catches you you know 01:01:28.400 --> 01:01:30.799 like as a grown woman I remember I would 01:01:30.799 --> 01:01:32.680 never say I believed it but then I was 01:01:32.680 --> 01:01:34.880 in 01:01:35.119 --> 01:01:37.760 this difficult situation and I couldn't 01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:40.720 fig and and underneath that was 01:01:40.720 --> 01:01:43.920 like that I 01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:46.799 owed that you owe a debt just by your 01:01:46.799 --> 01:01:49.640 very existence you know a Graber talks 01:01:49.640 --> 01:01:51.520 about 01:01:51.520 --> 01:01:53.440 this 01:01:53.440 --> 01:01:56.440 um 01:02:02.680 --> 01:02:04.520 that the cause a loop in the Catholic 01:02:04.520 --> 01:02:08.359 story is that you're a 01:02:10.119 --> 01:02:16.039 sinner because of your lineage as a 01:02:17.200 --> 01:02:20.200 human 01:02:23.039 --> 01:02:26.599 yeah do think it's 01:02:26.599 --> 01:02:30.039 possible to operate without stories and 01:02:30.039 --> 01:02:32.079 what would that be 01:02:32.079 --> 01:02:35.440 like like what's that 01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:38.480 um it's not possible to be a human and 01:02:38.480 --> 01:02:40.880 to operate without at least 01:02:40.880 --> 01:02:43.960 frames you know so like you might not 01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:46.400 think 01:02:46.400 --> 01:02:50.039 um like you think most people think that 01:02:50.039 --> 01:02:52.640 the past goes time goes from the past to 01:02:52.640 --> 01:02:54.839 the Future so you could call that a 01:02:54.839 --> 01:02:57.000 story a very very very foundational 01:02:57.000 --> 01:02:59.520 story or you could call it a frame so 01:02:59.520 --> 01:03:02.000 maybe you could get rid of all stories 01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:04.240 you can certainly get rid of 01:03:04.240 --> 01:03:06.680 autobiographical narratives about 01:03:06.680 --> 01:03:09.079 yourself 01:03:09.079 --> 01:03:12.760 um it's pretty easy 01:03:12.760 --> 01:03:15.480 to avoid most of the conditioning of 01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:18.240 cultural 01:03:18.240 --> 01:03:20.680 narratives 01:03:20.680 --> 01:03:24.599 um but if you if you allow the word 01:03:24.599 --> 01:03:26.680 story to get deeper and deeper into 01:03:26.680 --> 01:03:30.799 these frames it's very difficult 01:03:30.799 --> 01:03:34.279 to to 01:03:36.039 --> 01:03:41.079 uh for a human being not to operate with 01:03:42.119 --> 01:03:46.520 frames it's part of our intelligence 01:03:46.520 --> 01:03:49.799 right and part 01:03:49.799 --> 01:03:53.279 of our problem at the same time 01:03:53.279 --> 01:03:54.880 Kevin 01:03:54.880 --> 01:03:57.440 yeah what's interesting about say like 01:03:57.440 --> 01:03:59.520 the big bang is a 01:03:59.520 --> 01:04:02.640 story right is 01:04:02.640 --> 01:04:04.960 like you know we say the word story and 01:04:04.960 --> 01:04:06.359 it kind of already or narrative and it 01:04:06.359 --> 01:04:08.200 kind of has this assumption that it's 01:04:08.200 --> 01:04:11.559 words and it's like a word narrative 01:04:11.559 --> 01:04:14.359 like we can tell orally but then if you 01:04:14.359 --> 01:04:15.400 look at you know think about the Big 01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:18.480 Bang it's like I'm sure you know there 01:04:18.480 --> 01:04:21.400 are scientists who ex understand it in 01:04:21.400 --> 01:04:24.319 such detail that's not just like words 01:04:24.319 --> 01:04:26.640 it's like mathematical and like the 01:04:26.640 --> 01:04:28.279 physics of it and they understand how we 01:04:28.279 --> 01:04:29.799 know that by 01:04:29.799 --> 01:04:33.000 like um you know like using our 01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:35.240 telescopes or whatever to view how far 01:04:35.240 --> 01:04:36.920 away the stars are and the composition 01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:39.440 of gases and all that kind of stuff so 01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:40.920 it's 01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:45.160 like but then eventually it kind of you 01:04:45.160 --> 01:04:49.799 know gets compressed or simplified 01:04:49.799 --> 01:04:51.799 into 01:04:51.799 --> 01:04:54.319 a narrative story or you know maybe 01:04:54.319 --> 01:04:55.720 you're in science class or something or 01:04:55.720 --> 01:04:57.160 you're watching Bill eye and there's 01:04:57.160 --> 01:04:59.839 like an illustration and animation or 01:04:59.839 --> 01:05:01.039 whatever 01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:05.039 but I think yeah 01:05:05.039 --> 01:05:08.079 calling talking about origin and stories 01:05:08.079 --> 01:05:09.440 you know you kind of have to yeah kind 01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:12.599 of have to consider the the medium of 01:05:12.599 --> 01:05:15.520 How It's communicated but also like 01:05:15.520 --> 01:05:17.799 what's not being said what's compressed 01:05:17.799 --> 01:05:21.440 by like the the like what complexities 01:05:21.440 --> 01:05:26.000 the story is the story is covering up 01:05:26.000 --> 01:05:29.160 yeah I mean when you get 01:05:29.160 --> 01:05:33.680 to so most physicists know a lot about a 01:05:33.680 --> 01:05:34.680 certain 01:05:34.680 --> 01:05:37.119 local like they can look at the universe 01:05:37.119 --> 01:05:40.799 and say this is locally what happens and 01:05:40.799 --> 01:05:43.920 then they infer from that um that it's 01:05:43.920 --> 01:05:46.079 consistent with their story but most 01:05:46.079 --> 01:05:47.920 physicists know there's a problem at the 01:05:47.920 --> 01:05:51.079 big bang you know they don't know if the 01:05:51.079 --> 01:05:53.359 Universe goes out and then comes back 01:05:53.359 --> 01:05:55.920 and contract they don't know if there's 01:05:55.920 --> 01:05:58.520 multiverses they just have to it's an 01:05:58.520 --> 01:06:00.440 epistemic constraint you have to start 01:06:00.440 --> 01:06:02.279 with something that is okay let's what's 01:06:02.279 --> 01:06:05.520 called it started but even then Lee 01:06:05.520 --> 01:06:08.359 Mullen says our whole conception of 01:06:08.359 --> 01:06:12.760 saying something started at some time is 01:06:12.760 --> 01:06:15.079 has to do with maybe there was no time 01:06:15.079 --> 01:06:18.039 if there was no time before six seconds 01:06:18.039 --> 01:06:20.680 or the plank scale after the big bang 01:06:20.680 --> 01:06:25.039 then it's hard to use that language to 01:06:25.039 --> 01:06:27.760 say anything about it so physicists talk 01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:30.039 like crazy people like us when they're 01:06:30.039 --> 01:06:33.160 doing pH uh theoretical physics at that 01:06:33.160 --> 01:06:36.240 boundary um and what they usually do 01:06:36.240 --> 01:06:38.839 like Sabina hoffen Felder she's like 01:06:38.839 --> 01:06:40.720 well we can be really really sh when we 01:06:40.720 --> 01:06:44.319 take this Frame and we look at this 01:06:44.319 --> 01:06:48.200 phenomenon and uh we like it when that 01:06:48.200 --> 01:06:52.680 can fit into this narrative Arc um but 01:06:52.680 --> 01:06:54.880 you can't actually obs 01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:57.359 observe the whole universe doing its 01:06:57.359 --> 01:06:59.599 thing right so you have to have these 01:06:59.599 --> 01:07:02.359 inferences and the inferences like this 01:07:02.359 --> 01:07:04.799 is why physics is so hard 01:07:04.799 --> 01:07:08.799 they all them it's kind of like what Sam 01:07:08.799 --> 01:07:10.400 was saying 01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:12.880 like it's exactly like that like the 01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:15.680 origin stories it has to keep 01:07:15.680 --> 01:07:17.520 accommodating more and more and more and 01:07:17.520 --> 01:07:19.119 more and more and more you know like 01:07:19.119 --> 01:07:22.640 Galactic lensing and all this stuff and 01:07:22.640 --> 01:07:25.920 so uh 01:07:28.079 --> 01:07:30.880 they're kind of probably in the same 01:07:30.880 --> 01:07:32.680 boat that we are at a certain point at a 01:07:32.680 --> 01:07:36.240 certain point they there's there's no 01:07:36.240 --> 01:07:41.039 knowledge the knowledge building thing 01:07:44.599 --> 01:07:48.599 stops so Bonnie if 01:07:48.599 --> 01:07:51.680 we did Collective 01:07:51.680 --> 01:07:55.599 Insight um 01:07:55.599 --> 01:08:00.559 and somehow would you imagine that a 01:08:00.559 --> 01:08:04.200 sense of an origin story would 01:08:04.200 --> 01:08:08.400 emerge if we kept at it yeah but you 01:08:08.400 --> 01:08:11.200 have to be you have to 01:08:11.200 --> 01:08:15.679 be swallowed by the impulse this is this 01:08:15.679 --> 01:08:20.719 is you know it had like 01:08:20.719 --> 01:08:22.839 like 01:08:22.839 --> 01:08:25.839 um 01:08:25.920 --> 01:08:28.400 you have need enough interest to 01:08:28.400 --> 01:08:30.960 sustain stain sustain that and then it 01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:32.600 takes you into reading all kinds of 01:08:32.600 --> 01:08:34.239 other stuff and blah blah blah blah blah 01:08:34.239 --> 01:08:36.920 blah so that's what it would be nice is 01:08:36.920 --> 01:08:37.759 to 01:08:37.759 --> 01:08:41.759 find if we do a live session to find 01:08:41.759 --> 01:08:44.080 something that people really want 01:08:44.080 --> 01:08:46.159 to 01:08:46.159 --> 01:08:50.120 um like I I wrote a few everybody in the 01:08:50.120 --> 01:08:52.400 group has to 01:08:52.400 --> 01:08:55.159 be really want 01:08:55.159 --> 01:08:57.799 to so you know I have to write this book 01:08:57.799 --> 01:09:01.040 so I really want some nice new ideas on 01:09:01.040 --> 01:09:07.400 Origins so um but the this is I 01:09:07.400 --> 01:09:10.640 proposed for 01:09:10.759 --> 01:09:13.239 example you could do Collective Insight 01:09:13.239 --> 01:09:16.000 in catalyze a shift in view about humans 01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:17.640 how humans live in the world and how we 01:09:17.640 --> 01:09:20.440 can conduct our lives in order to so you 01:09:20.440 --> 01:09:22.600 can do number one stop destruction at 01:09:22.600 --> 01:09:24.640 massive scale inter up downstreet 01:09:24.640 --> 01:09:27.679 exponential risk so that sounds very 01:09:27.679 --> 01:09:29.040 complicated but it 01:09:29.040 --> 01:09:32.679 means can I as a human I can't go and 01:09:32.679 --> 01:09:36.199 and eliminate existential risk but how 01:09:36.199 --> 01:09:37.600 can I as a 01:09:37.600 --> 01:09:40.799 person interrupt existential risk 01:09:40.799 --> 01:09:44.040 Downstream from me so this is a doable 01:09:44.040 --> 01:09:46.799 thing so what you would do is you you 01:09:46.799 --> 01:09:49.120 could have still big question because 01:09:49.120 --> 01:09:50.799 then you go out and you come back in and 01:09:50.799 --> 01:09:54.920 you go out and you come back in but then 01:09:54.920 --> 01:09:58.239 um yeah you'd have to be so do you see 01:09:58.239 --> 01:10:01.239 what I mean like this is how you could 01:10:01.239 --> 01:10:04.600 compress a very broad philosophical 01:10:04.600 --> 01:10:05.760 question 01:10:05.760 --> 01:10:09.760 into a community of practice for example 01:10:09.760 --> 01:10:12.520 so 01:10:13.480 --> 01:10:19.880 um so if we collectively incited in An 01:10:19.880 --> 01:10:21.560 Origin 01:10:21.560 --> 01:10:25.640 story what would we do with it 01:10:26.560 --> 01:10:30.679 well we we would have reasons why 01:10:30.679 --> 01:10:34.560 we think there's a need for a new origin 01:10:34.560 --> 01:10:39.239 story incited or incited both both yeah 01:10:39.239 --> 01:10:42.000 I was thinking about it with the yeah 01:10:42.000 --> 01:10:44.560 yeah 01:10:44.560 --> 01:10:47.080 um we 01:10:47.080 --> 01:10:51.120 would the the the Assumption and at some 01:10:51.120 --> 01:10:52.640 point you just do things because it's 01:10:52.640 --> 01:10:55.440 axiomatic is is that there's a problem 01:10:55.440 --> 01:10:58.679 that we don't have origin stories and 01:10:58.679 --> 01:11:00.600 even if people don't believe that God 01:11:00.600 --> 01:11:03.320 made the world in six days they act as 01:11:03.320 --> 01:11:06.840 if the physicist story is 01:11:06.840 --> 01:11:09.000 right and that 01:11:09.000 --> 01:11:13.400 has consequences on um a lot of things 01:11:13.400 --> 01:11:17.280 let's just say that okay so um now it 01:11:17.280 --> 01:11:19.480 may not be that may not be your 01:11:19.480 --> 01:11:25.360 assumption um and uh 01:11:25.360 --> 01:11:28.719 for example Alexander Bard in processing 01:11:28.719 --> 01:11:34.080 event um is arguing that in Christian 01:11:34.080 --> 01:11:36.679 eschatology is all event what's the 01:11:36.679 --> 01:11:39.880 origin the event of the Resurrection the 01:11:39.880 --> 01:11:43.639 event of the Virgin Mary the event and 01:11:43.639 --> 01:11:49.719 he's saying that um adventism is 01:11:49.719 --> 01:11:52.800 over in this case you wouldn't even want 01:11:52.800 --> 01:11:54.960 to Pro origin story because it's very 01:11:54.960 --> 01:11:56.159 much 01:11:56.159 --> 01:11:58.600 adventism from that 01:11:58.600 --> 01:12:04.520 perspective um but if you feel 01:12:04.840 --> 01:12:07.520 like 01:12:07.520 --> 01:12:10.280 um if you're gripped with 01:12:10.280 --> 01:12:13.239 something that's very intriguing to you 01:12:13.239 --> 01:12:16.679 and it feels like an origin story is in 01:12:16.679 --> 01:12:18.719 there somewhere that could be 01:12:18.719 --> 01:12:22.480 helpful um I don't know you know I 01:12:22.480 --> 01:12:25.480 don't 01:12:27.320 --> 01:12:29.679 or like I said it could it could even be 01:12:29.679 --> 01:12:32.400 you're not telling an origin story 01:12:32.400 --> 01:12:36.920 you're situating the role of origin in 01:12:36.920 --> 01:12:40.080 The Human Condition today and as a 01:12:40.080 --> 01:12:43.960 reflection or something like that 01:12:43.960 --> 01:12:48.040 um but my experience Collective Insight 01:12:48.040 --> 01:12:50.960 practice is it can be some something 01:12:50.960 --> 01:12:55.440 like Anna just said it can be 01:12:55.679 --> 01:12:59.440 um very powerful where like you might 01:12:59.440 --> 01:13:01.239 not have an origin story at the end of 01:13:01.239 --> 01:13:02.360 the end of 01:13:02.360 --> 01:13:04.920 it but you might have 01:13:04.920 --> 01:13:07.800 like an obsession like it's the first am 01:13:07.800 --> 01:13:09.719 but still around and why does why is 01:13:09.719 --> 01:13:13.800 that so interesting and then then you 01:13:13.800 --> 01:13:17.760 know we had our workshop last weekend 01:13:17.760 --> 01:13:20.280 and Layman Pascal and Tom Murray were 01:13:20.280 --> 01:13:25.239 here the ones who got me sick those 01:13:25.239 --> 01:13:29.239 bastards the the virus ingressed into my 01:13:29.239 --> 01:13:33.000 body and um we were talking about this 01:13:33.000 --> 01:13:35.800 and then I I was running out for my 01:13:35.800 --> 01:13:39.000 Parallax course and I was running 01:13:39.000 --> 01:13:41.239 out there was a chance that I wouldn't 01:13:41.239 --> 01:13:42.960 see them again because they were leaving 01:13:42.960 --> 01:13:45.320 I did see them after for a little bit 01:13:45.320 --> 01:13:47.199 and then I was halfway down the stairs 01:13:47.199 --> 01:13:49.040 and I 01:13:49.040 --> 01:13:52.040 thought it's late and I thought like as 01:13:52.040 --> 01:13:54.000 long as I'm sitting here and thinking 01:13:54.000 --> 01:13:56.960 that they're there they're here and and 01:13:56.960 --> 01:13:58.639 all of this thing happened and then I'm 01:13:58.639 --> 01:14:00.760 like when when I'm in the room with them 01:14:00.760 --> 01:14:02.440 they're actually kind of here and and 01:14:02.440 --> 01:14:04.600 not here at the same time like I was 01:14:04.600 --> 01:14:06.120 having this kind of 01:14:06.120 --> 01:14:09.760 like psychedelic kind 01:14:09.760 --> 01:14:13.280 of spiritual Insight just around this 01:14:13.280 --> 01:14:16.040 thing and I ran back up and I said I get 01:14:16.040 --> 01:14:18.400 it like when I leave you're here and 01:14:18.400 --> 01:14:20.199 you're not here at the same time in the 01:14:20.199 --> 01:14:22.080 same way as if you're here if you're 01:14:22.080 --> 01:14:24.080 here or not 01:14:24.080 --> 01:14:25.639 you're here and not here at the same 01:14:25.639 --> 01:14:28.159 time when I'm over there but that wasn't 01:14:28.159 --> 01:14:29.760 the Insight the Insight was when I was 01:14:29.760 --> 01:14:31.800 physically in the room with them they're 01:14:31.800 --> 01:14:34.360 also here and not there here at the same 01:14:34.360 --> 01:14:36.760 time because if you 01:14:36.760 --> 01:14:39.800 only concentrate on internal relations 01:14:39.800 --> 01:14:43.080 see we only whad complained we only look 01:14:43.080 --> 01:14:45.520 at actuals and external relations but if 01:14:45.520 --> 01:14:47.080 you live in this world of internal 01:14:47.080 --> 01:14:49.520 relations which is something like 01:14:49.520 --> 01:14:52.000 similar to what Anna described then 01:14:52.000 --> 01:14:54.280 there's something else kind of happening 01:14:54.280 --> 01:14:57.280 that's psychoactive right 01:14:57.280 --> 01:15:01.440 so so you might say the reason why we 01:15:01.440 --> 01:15:04.600 can have this conversation over Zoom is 01:15:04.600 --> 01:15:08.239 because it's very little 01:15:08.239 --> 01:15:11.159 external relations their external 01:15:11.159 --> 01:15:14.880 relations are are 01:15:14.880 --> 01:15:17.840 Illusions but it works because of the 01:15:17.840 --> 01:15:19.480 internal relations or work in the 01:15:19.480 --> 01:15:21.960 internal relations now you get really 01:15:21.960 --> 01:15:24.760 you get really sit down in Collective 01:15:24.760 --> 01:15:26.320 presencing or Collective Insight 01:15:26.320 --> 01:15:31.080 practice and think about that 01:15:31.080 --> 01:15:36.320 and so that's kind of what what what can 01:15:37.800 --> 01:15:40.040 happen Bonnie what what what I'm 01:15:40.040 --> 01:15:42.080 wondering while you were speaking is 01:15:42.080 --> 01:15:44.199 about I'm not sure if you're familiar 01:15:44.199 --> 01:15:46.520 with David R Hawkins work what's the 01:15:46.520 --> 01:15:51.040 last name HK David R Hawkins about his 01:15:51.040 --> 01:15:54.199 one of his books is power versus Force 01:15:54.199 --> 01:15:58.600 and um about what frequency or what 01:15:58.600 --> 01:16:00.800 place are you coming from and it's just 01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:02.480 like the same question you ask what 01:16:02.480 --> 01:16:05.840 reality are we choosing and I wonder is 01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:09.440 if you're in the I am in that spot what 01:16:09.440 --> 01:16:12.000 reality can we choose it's almost like 01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:14.920 multi-dimensional it's like the thing 01:16:14.920 --> 01:16:18.320 this way it's horizontal and vertical 01:16:18.320 --> 01:16:21.199 both at the same time yeah and it's ATT 01:16:21.199 --> 01:16:25.159 tuning with with this tool the 01:16:25.159 --> 01:16:27.360 instrument that we are is almost like 01:16:27.360 --> 01:16:29.800 ATT tuning to what is needed here 01:16:29.800 --> 01:16:31.679 because you know it's this innate 01:16:31.679 --> 01:16:35.520 knowing without without any doubt like 01:16:35.520 --> 01:16:37.480 this is it and this is it oh I don't 01:16:37.480 --> 01:16:42.159 have to do anything or it's like this 01:16:42.159 --> 01:16:45.159 yeah so we just had this horse workshop 01:16:45.159 --> 01:16:47.679 and for some people they wanted to do 01:16:47.679 --> 01:16:49.639 active stuff and learn about horses very 01:16:49.639 --> 01:16:51.320 externally related they needed their 01:16:51.320 --> 01:16:54.000 gestures right some people you just sit 01:16:54.000 --> 01:16:56.159 there and then you can 01:16:56.159 --> 01:16:58.719 feel the relationship moving and 01:16:58.719 --> 01:17:00.400 changing and that the horse is 01:17:00.400 --> 01:17:03.120 interested in you this all internal 01:17:03.120 --> 01:17:06.639 relation call subtle energy or whatever 01:17:06.639 --> 01:17:10.280 but but did you Sandra to answer your 01:17:10.280 --> 01:17:12.560 question did you watch the last video 01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:14.840 for The Parallax course 01:17:14.840 --> 01:17:20.280 okay so this is that last 01:17:20.280 --> 01:17:23.080 piece what he's talking about in Holly 01:17:23.080 --> 01:17:25.800 gave me that excerpt actually U from 01:17:25.800 --> 01:17:30.800 that human movie um is that woman looked 01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:34.280 at where he and she were internally 01:17:34.280 --> 01:17:36.639 related despite the fact that he had 01:17:36.639 --> 01:17:40.920 killed her daughter and her 01:17:40.920 --> 01:17:43.159 granddaughter she's like where's the 01:17:43.159 --> 01:17:47.159 point of contact and and where does that 01:17:47.159 --> 01:17:48.920 come from well it comes from origin I 01:17:48.920 --> 01:17:51.520 would say I mean this is an origin story 01:17:51.520 --> 01:17:53.679 and so like 01:17:53.679 --> 01:17:57.199 like what if 01:17:57.199 --> 01:18:00.520 I'm able to do both really you know to 01:18:00.520 --> 01:18:07.639 to engage in cool external things that 01:18:07.639 --> 01:18:11.679 and the point of contact is actually uh 01:18:11.679 --> 01:18:14.360 there I would say there as a DST some 01:18:14.360 --> 01:18:18.360 people more up here but um and with 01:18:18.360 --> 01:18:21.040 nature also you know what's the point of 01:18:21.040 --> 01:18:23.880 contact it's like 01:18:23.880 --> 01:18:25.120 this 01:18:25.120 --> 01:18:29.520 storm externally I related to it I'm in 01:18:29.520 --> 01:18:33.400 danger but if I go in an is using the I 01:18:33.400 --> 01:18:36.480 am which is the in and this gets loot 01:18:36.480 --> 01:18:39.080 into that the self is a p obstruction is 01:18:39.080 --> 01:18:42.320 like then what happens like well you 01:18:42.320 --> 01:18:44.080 could die if you don't get out of the 01:18:44.080 --> 01:18:46.320 way because those are real external 01:18:46.320 --> 01:18:49.520 relations you know and that so 01:18:49.520 --> 01:18:52.080 anyways uh I guess I'm talking to this 01:18:52.080 --> 01:18:53.520 to death 01:18:53.520 --> 01:18:55.840 um because my mind can't think of 01:18:55.840 --> 01:18:57.320 anything 01:18:57.320 --> 01:19:01.840 interesting uh because my I'm 01:19:04.080 --> 01:19:06.920 foggy but like Sandra was talking thanks 01:19:06.920 --> 01:19:11.440 Bonnie Sandra was talking about um the 01:19:11.440 --> 01:19:14.600 how do you call them the points 01:19:14.600 --> 01:19:19.280 the um I think I've already done the 01:19:19.280 --> 01:19:22.560 biomarkers yeah thanks the biomarkers 01:19:22.560 --> 01:19:26.520 and and during our Collective inside 01:19:26.520 --> 01:19:30.000 practice I felt like 01:19:30.000 --> 01:19:32.040 this Vision 01:19:32.040 --> 01:19:35.040 arose here in the solar plexus and then 01:19:35.040 --> 01:19:37.199 it moved to the heart and then you it's 01:19:37.199 --> 01:19:39.960 almost like you can feel 01:19:39.960 --> 01:19:43.400 how the movement in the body or how the 01:19:43.400 --> 01:19:45.560 biomarkers are and then you spoke to it 01:19:45.560 --> 01:19:48.639 afterwards as well you said I I believe 01:19:48.639 --> 01:19:52.360 the vision starts here just in the the 01:19:52.360 --> 01:19:53.360 belly area 01:19:53.360 --> 01:19:55.679 higher belly and I thought yeah that's 01:19:55.679 --> 01:19:58.840 where I felt it but there's there 01:19:58.840 --> 01:20:00.480 there's this point of 01:20:00.480 --> 01:20:03.280 relationship from Singularity to 01:20:03.280 --> 01:20:07.239 Singularity with Singularity and it's 01:20:07.239 --> 01:20:10.199 like and that's and that's not noise 01:20:10.199 --> 01:20:12.560 that's the signal and and if if I look 01:20:12.560 --> 01:20:14.440 at the scale of stochastic resonance 01:20:14.440 --> 01:20:16.920 it's very very gentle and you almost 01:20:16.920 --> 01:20:20.520 can't hear it it's so subtle that it's I 01:20:20.520 --> 01:20:22.440 don't know what I'm saying but I I want 01:20:22.440 --> 01:20:24.040 to speak to it but I don't I don't have 01:20:24.040 --> 01:20:27.760 words for it but it's this is the this 01:20:27.760 --> 01:20:31.000 knowing of yep we've landed here in 01:20:31.000 --> 01:20:32.800 connection and I'm I'm not in connection 01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:35.639 now I'm just speaking from but I'm going 01:20:35.639 --> 01:20:37.840 back 01:20:37.840 --> 01:20:40.760 um so yeah coming from this place of 01:20:40.760 --> 01:20:43.520 connecting and then speaking from that 01:20:43.520 --> 01:20:45.639 place it's almost like a signal it's 01:20:45.639 --> 01:20:48.360 signaling out instead of noising or 01:20:48.360 --> 01:20:51.719 creating noise and that's a 01:20:51.719 --> 01:20:53.400 big 01:20:53.400 --> 01:20:56.080 distinction to make because who am I 01:20:56.080 --> 01:20:58.719 talking to like now who am I am I 01:20:58.719 --> 01:21:00.400 talking to myself because I want to make 01:21:00.400 --> 01:21:04.199 sense to myself or you know it's it's 01:21:04.199 --> 01:21:07.760 it's like it's like this 380 01:21:07.760 --> 01:21:09.760 thing I don't know what I'm saying I'll 01:21:09.760 --> 01:21:12.440 leave it I'll leave it for 01:21:12.440 --> 01:21:17.080 now no this is very rich and so this is 01:21:17.080 --> 01:21:18.520 kind of very similar to Collective 01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:20.719 Insight practice because you're 01:21:20.719 --> 01:21:23.760 just it's like a little pop corny right 01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:25.320 we're not trying to 01:21:25.320 --> 01:21:29.280 like um but it reminds me of this 01:21:29.280 --> 01:21:31.120 exercise you do with the horses like 01:21:31.120 --> 01:21:35.520 first they bond with you and then 01:21:35.520 --> 01:21:40.159 um I have people walk a few steps ahead 01:21:40.159 --> 01:21:44.880 and kind of waver like this whether 01:21:44.880 --> 01:21:46.159 whether or not the horse is going to 01:21:46.159 --> 01:21:48.960 come with them or not and the 01:21:48.960 --> 01:21:51.960 horse this happened many times this 01:21:51.960 --> 01:21:53.199 weekend 01:21:53.199 --> 01:21:56.520 um so the horse is obviously bonded with 01:21:56.520 --> 01:21:58.639 them and they're standing completely 01:21:58.639 --> 01:22:02.320 still and I'll say oh do you have your 01:22:02.320 --> 01:22:04.760 attention on the horse back there and 01:22:04.760 --> 01:22:06.880 they'll say yes I'm like well you've 01:22:06.880 --> 01:22:10.280 pinned yourself there so he won't 01:22:10.280 --> 01:22:12.600 move well then how do I know if the 01:22:12.600 --> 01:22:14.480 horse is with me I said you don't it's 01:22:14.480 --> 01:22:17.719 not an external relation you feel it in 01:22:17.719 --> 01:22:21.520 here now how is that possible how is it 01:22:21.520 --> 01:22:23.679 possible well I think what some some of 01:22:23.679 --> 01:22:25.560 the thing you're saying is I feel it 01:22:25.560 --> 01:22:26.840 here but it's 01:22:26.840 --> 01:22:29.679 not it's not like there's subtle energy 01:22:29.679 --> 01:22:31.360 that's coming from me and being shared 01:22:31.360 --> 01:22:32.600 with the horse because that's an 01:22:32.600 --> 01:22:34.719 external relation it's like there's a 01:22:34.719 --> 01:22:37.159 signal that is 01:22:37.159 --> 01:22:39.719 triangulated like that and I would say 01:22:39.719 --> 01:22:42.199 that signal is the first amoeba or 01:22:42.199 --> 01:22:47.719 whatever you know so uh so you're this a 01:22:47.719 --> 01:22:50.440 very you see this is what we're doing is 01:22:50.440 --> 01:22:53.600 we're creating whole do 01:22:53.600 --> 01:22:56.199 we still have frames and directions and 01:22:56.199 --> 01:22:57.840 stuff but it's getting it's getting 01:22:57.840 --> 01:23:00.639 interesting and 01:23:02.639 --> 01:23:06.920 Rich when you said earlier Bonnie about 01:23:06.920 --> 01:23:11.400 um Wilbur saying kind of after you this 01:23:11.400 --> 01:23:14.440 Awakening the words don't matter or you 01:23:14.440 --> 01:23:16.560 any word will 01:23:16.560 --> 01:23:20.280 do and 01:23:20.280 --> 01:23:23.280 that that's 01:23:23.280 --> 01:23:25.400 feels like that's the 01:23:25.400 --> 01:23:28.920 experience now in a way that the words 01:23:28.920 --> 01:23:32.080 are just this but there's 01:23:32.080 --> 01:23:34.400 something 01:23:34.400 --> 01:23:41.320 else and I'm reminded of using um chat 01:23:41.320 --> 01:23:45.199 GPT yesterday for the first time and 01:23:45.199 --> 01:23:49.120 reading what it put out and went oh God 01:23:49.120 --> 01:23:51.080 it's so 01:23:51.080 --> 01:23:54.440 like every other word was a buzzword 01:23:54.440 --> 01:23:57.520 that made the whole thing make no sense 01:23:57.520 --> 01:24:01.520 at at some level made the whole thing 01:24:01.520 --> 01:24:06.120 nonsensical and yet it was organized 01:24:06.120 --> 01:24:08.880 and sentence by 01:24:08.880 --> 01:24:11.600 sentence was like it was a McKenzie 01:24:11.600 --> 01:24:16.040 report yeah it was crazy I've just never 01:24:16.040 --> 01:24:17.920 you know I never spent any time with it 01:24:17.920 --> 01:24:20.040 I won't spend any time with it in the 01:24:20.040 --> 01:24:23.920 near future but just the difference 01:24:23.920 --> 01:24:27.480 between something 01:24:28.080 --> 01:24:31.920 that comes from the struggle of finding 01:24:31.920 --> 01:24:38.719 a word that's just a word but maybe 01:24:38.719 --> 01:24:42.400 gets resonance or connection I don't 01:24:42.400 --> 01:24:46.360 know it's it's not about the 01:24:46.360 --> 01:24:50.000 words there's something 01:24:51.360 --> 01:24:54.360 else 01:24:54.360 --> 01:24:57.320 with this this origin 01:24:57.320 --> 01:25:00.320 story are we looking for something maybe 01:25:00.320 --> 01:25:03.760 closer to like a pure abstraction as 01:25:03.760 --> 01:25:06.760 opposed to just like an 01:25:07.480 --> 01:25:09.960 imaginary like I don't know if I'm using 01:25:09.960 --> 01:25:13.040 those words right probably yes you are 01:25:13.040 --> 01:25:16.760 using that right 01:25:21.280 --> 01:25:23.159 um 01:25:23.159 --> 01:25:26.600 you you you end Story the pure 01:25:26.600 --> 01:25:28.520 abstraction 01:25:28.520 --> 01:25:31.719 um and to get to the pure 01:25:31.719 --> 01:25:37.800 abstraction you make metaphors I mean so 01:25:37.800 --> 01:25:42.320 um so one of one thing we might say is 01:25:42.320 --> 01:25:45.840 what Anna just 01:25:46.679 --> 01:25:49.280 described so the the story is really 01:25:49.280 --> 01:25:54.080 origins of the body and instead of a big 01:25:54.080 --> 01:25:56.360 bang which is an 01:25:56.360 --> 01:25:59.880 event maybe there was something like a 01:25:59.880 --> 01:26:03.560 body in the same way we experience what 01:26:03.560 --> 01:26:07.360 she just described is what happened at 01:26:07.360 --> 01:26:09.440 the beginning of time because that's 01:26:09.440 --> 01:26:11.800 what bodies 01:26:11.800 --> 01:26:15.000 do except in this case there's no 01:26:15.000 --> 01:26:18.520 external signal right that it is the 01:26:18.520 --> 01:26:21.280 signal and its internal relationship at 01:26:21.280 --> 01:26:23.280 the same time because this is just the 01:26:23.280 --> 01:26:25.119 way our 01:26:25.119 --> 01:26:30.280 epistemic works but 01:26:38.840 --> 01:26:43.000 um yeah I could inore 01:26:51.199 --> 01:26:54.199 that 01:26:55.880 --> 01:26:57.920 I wonder how much 01:26:57.920 --> 01:27:00.600 of discovering new origin stories comes 01:27:00.600 --> 01:27:03.760 with new ways of looking at old ones so 01:27:03.760 --> 01:27:06.960 like the big bang you know we we have a 01:27:06.960 --> 01:27:08.360 bunch of presumably we have a bunch of 01:27:08.360 --> 01:27:10.040 telescopes everywhere and the 01:27:10.040 --> 01:27:13.280 telescopes are pointed at the universe 01:27:13.280 --> 01:27:15.159 and different parts of it looking at 01:27:15.159 --> 01:27:17.719 very far away places but you can think 01:27:17.719 --> 01:27:18.880 about it 01:27:18.880 --> 01:27:22.280 like you know you know how in uh Road 01:27:22.280 --> 01:27:23.480 Runner 01:27:23.480 --> 01:27:27.000 and the Wy coyote how the Road Runner 01:27:27.000 --> 01:27:30.159 sometimes just like paints a fake tunnel 01:27:30.159 --> 01:27:32.159 a fake tunnel on the on the Rock and 01:27:32.159 --> 01:27:33.600 then he goes through and then the coyote 01:27:33.600 --> 01:27:36.040 just runs into it like what if there's 01:27:36.040 --> 01:27:37.760 just like some trickster God that just 01:27:37.760 --> 01:27:40.080 knows where all of our telescopes are 01:27:40.080 --> 01:27:41.520 and then every time we buil a new one he 01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:43.480 just puts like this little this little 01:27:43.480 --> 01:27:44.600 fake 01:27:44.600 --> 01:27:47.159 tunnel with a painted thing on it so 01:27:47.159 --> 01:27:48.560 then every time we look at it you know 01:27:48.560 --> 01:27:49.840 it's like we're back in Plato's Cave 01:27:49.840 --> 01:27:51.880 we're just like oh he's playing a trick 01:27:51.880 --> 01:27:55.000 on us it's like oh the telescopes aren't 01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:56.440 actually showing us the truth but it's 01:27:56.440 --> 01:28:00.960 some like weird mathematical physics 01:28:00.960 --> 01:28:02.960 Contraption that's there to trick us to 01:28:02.960 --> 01:28:04.840 thinking that the Big Bang has happened 01:28:04.840 --> 01:28:06.880 I think this is actually true except we 01:28:06.880 --> 01:28:09.920 don't know what what the Distortion is 01:28:09.920 --> 01:28:12.199 um so for example you've seen that 01:28:12.199 --> 01:28:15.400 picture it's like a big eye and it's 01:28:15.400 --> 01:28:18.440 it's it shows you and as you go toward 01:28:18.440 --> 01:28:21.280 the circumference it's it's it's farther 01:28:21.280 --> 01:28:23.800 and farther 01:28:23.800 --> 01:28:27.320 time so the thing about that is that 01:28:27.320 --> 01:28:29.800 from every single position you see the 01:28:29.800 --> 01:28:31.920 same thing like it's not a sphere 01:28:31.920 --> 01:28:33.440 because in a sphere if you were inside a 01:28:33.440 --> 01:28:35.760 sphere if you were over here you would 01:28:35.760 --> 01:28:38.239 be closer to here and for it's not like 01:28:38.239 --> 01:28:41.880 that it's like every single person is in 01:28:41.880 --> 01:28:45.639 the center of that and and any every 01:28:45.639 --> 01:28:49.960 single perspective sees the same 01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:53.080 thing in in this picture and then so 01:28:53.080 --> 01:28:55.760 then I'll ask so every single 01:28:55.760 --> 01:28:59.840 perspective sees the same 01:29:01.960 --> 01:29:04.360 thing well let me say this some 01:29:04.360 --> 01:29:07.119 perspectives seem more because well I 01:29:07.119 --> 01:29:08.480 don't know it doesn't matter every 01:29:08.480 --> 01:29:11.239 single perspective sees the same thing 01:29:11.239 --> 01:29:14.520 and what you're seeing 01:29:14.520 --> 01:29:16.400 is 01:29:16.400 --> 01:29:19.470 time so then I ask well where's 01:29:19.470 --> 01:29:20.920 [Music] 01:29:20.920 --> 01:29:23.920 tomorrow 01:29:27.119 --> 01:29:29.159 in that 01:29:29.159 --> 01:29:31.320 perspective right 01:29:31.320 --> 01:29:35.840 there not there yet it's like you're 01:29:35.840 --> 01:29:39.080 constantly backing up somehow but what 01:29:39.080 --> 01:29:42.480 does that even mean so this is f you 01:29:42.480 --> 01:29:45.719 know this is the reality that physicists 01:29:45.719 --> 01:29:49.840 are painting it's not any less more 01:29:49.840 --> 01:29:52.639 weird it's not any less weird than some 01:29:52.639 --> 01:29:56.600 of these Explorations we're we're 01:29:56.600 --> 01:29:59.639 having um it's not a question you can 01:29:59.639 --> 01:30:04.320 ask but it's an interesting question to 01:30:10.040 --> 01:30:15.040 ask that which would mean that time is 01:30:15.040 --> 01:30:18.040 emanating from every perspective in all 01:30:18.040 --> 01:30:20.840 directions at the same 01:30:20.840 --> 01:30:23.840 time 01:30:26.600 --> 01:30:29.360 I'm thinking about my grandson when he 01:30:29.360 --> 01:30:33.360 was like he wasn't even two and he was 01:30:33.360 --> 01:30:36.719 trying to understand the word 01:30:36.719 --> 01:30:40.360 yesterday and he would say Nester day 01:30:40.360 --> 01:30:43.000 the day before the day before the day 01:30:43.000 --> 01:30:46.520 before but he just could was like what 01:30:46.520 --> 01:30:48.320 is 01:30:48.320 --> 01:30:51.119 yesterday that same sense of what's 01:30:51.119 --> 01:30:55.040 tomorrow right what's 01:31:04.480 --> 01:31:07.080 tomorrow this is a bit off topic but 01:31:07.080 --> 01:31:09.480 that story just reminded me of I 01:31:09.480 --> 01:31:11.040 remember having a memory when I was 01:31:11.040 --> 01:31:14.080 really young my mom wanted to make a 01:31:14.080 --> 01:31:16.199 leftand turn in the car so she had to 01:31:16.199 --> 01:31:18.800 cross one lane to get to the other but 01:31:18.800 --> 01:31:21.320 there was cars coming both ways and then 01:31:21.320 --> 01:31:23.800 there was a in the in the lane that we 01:31:23.800 --> 01:31:25.800 wanted to get into but the left hand 01:31:25.800 --> 01:31:28.960 lane was still going and I just could 01:31:28.960 --> 01:31:32.320 not understand why we couldn't go I 01:31:32.320 --> 01:31:35.199 didn't understand why the left one we're 01:31:35.199 --> 01:31:38.800 going in is free but there was cars 01:31:38.800 --> 01:31:40.400 coming the other way I could not 01:31:40.400 --> 01:31:41.760 understand it for the life of me I don't 01:31:41.760 --> 01:31:43.320 know 01:31:43.320 --> 01:31:46.800 why it's kind of 01:31:50.760 --> 01:31:53.760 funny 01:31:59.320 --> 01:32:02.800 maybe it's something to do with 01:32:03.320 --> 01:32:05.320 like I don't know I feel like that kind 01:32:05.320 --> 01:32:07.560 of shows 01:32:07.560 --> 01:32:09.920 how I don't know maybe something to do 01:32:09.920 --> 01:32:13.119 with like how understanding works or 01:32:13.119 --> 01:32:15.440 how how 01:32:15.440 --> 01:32:19.040 many assumptions and things we have to 01:32:19.040 --> 01:32:20.080 actually 01:32:20.080 --> 01:32:24.800 train our minds to do that now maybe we 01:32:24.800 --> 01:32:28.040 just think it's so obvious in reality 01:32:28.040 --> 01:32:30.639 where no we actually had to learn that 01:32:30.639 --> 01:32:35.880 and like do something to figure that 01:32:38.639 --> 01:32:42.600 out but you didn't learn it 01:32:44.199 --> 01:32:46.880 dialogically one day you just 01:32:46.880 --> 01:32:50.280 knew yeah yeah exactly and so this is 01:32:50.280 --> 01:32:52.119 what I'm saying this is how trying to 01:32:52.119 --> 01:32:54.880 learn to address these questions not you 01:32:54.880 --> 01:32:58.080 know more from like can I change my 01:32:58.080 --> 01:33:00.239 perspect where shift this is really good 01:33:00.239 --> 01:33:01.880 because we're shifting like I loved 01:33:01.880 --> 01:33:04.840 Kevin's story it sounds 01:33:04.840 --> 01:33:07.360 like it sounds like it's parenthetical 01:33:07.360 --> 01:33:09.719 but it's very interesting story as we're 01:33:09.719 --> 01:33:14.560 shifting like like what's what's going 01:33:20.560 --> 01:33:23.280 on 01:33:23.280 --> 01:33:25.239 the question always comes up in my mind 01:33:25.239 --> 01:33:27.239 though is 01:33:27.239 --> 01:33:30.280 like it it comes up 01:33:30.280 --> 01:33:32.280 like there's always this division 01:33:32.280 --> 01:33:35.119 between okay we're making this story and 01:33:35.119 --> 01:33:38.840 about reality or 01:33:38.960 --> 01:33:41.360 whatever um and that could have very 01:33:41.360 --> 01:33:42.920 profound implications like we just 01:33:42.920 --> 01:33:45.040 talked about on behavior and how we see 01:33:45.040 --> 01:33:47.960 the world and interact and stuff but 01:33:47.960 --> 01:33:50.560 then what's actually going on in 01:33:50.560 --> 01:33:53.560 reality to me that those two seem to 01:33:53.560 --> 01:33:59.199 come up always in kind of different 01:34:20.480 --> 01:34:23.480 spots 01:35:18.280 --> 01:35:21.040 I think that raises a question for me 01:35:21.040 --> 01:35:23.400 Matt 01:35:25.960 --> 01:35:29.159 about how does 01:35:29.159 --> 01:35:33.320 our assuming that we find create 01:35:33.320 --> 01:35:36.840 something is emerging called an origin 01:35:36.840 --> 01:35:40.040 story how does 01:35:40.040 --> 01:35:46.119 that situate Us in reality or 01:35:46.119 --> 01:35:50.360 what what role does that play in our 01:35:50.360 --> 01:35:53.400 relationship with 01:36:02.159 --> 01:36:04.920 reality coming up for me is um that 01:36:04.920 --> 01:36:06.400 conversation I think Bonnie had with 01:36:06.400 --> 01:36:10.119 like Veri and she talked about the it 01:36:10.119 --> 01:36:11.480 you know you can't actually be in 01:36:11.480 --> 01:36:13.880 relationship with the it but that it 01:36:13.880 --> 01:36:16.199 loves us you know that it loves us so 01:36:16.199 --> 01:36:17.320 much 01:36:17.320 --> 01:36:20.360 and um that can completely change a 01:36:20.360 --> 01:36:22.880 narrative for me you know like going 01:36:22.880 --> 01:36:25.840 from having certain constraints come 01:36:25.840 --> 01:36:28.840 into life and feeling like a victim but 01:36:28.840 --> 01:36:30.880 if I return to that kind of origin story 01:36:30.880 --> 01:36:34.000 that it loves me it I become less of a 01:36:34.000 --> 01:36:37.760 victim and more um becomes more of 01:36:37.760 --> 01:36:40.800 this I don't know trust trust becomes 01:36:40.800 --> 01:36:45.639 alive and um trust and 01:36:50.280 --> 01:36:53.280 surrender 01:37:01.280 --> 01:37:03.320 yeah I think it's it's one thing and 01:37:03.320 --> 01:37:06.000 it's very very good to do gratitude 01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:08.600 practices but if it's paired with an 01:37:08.600 --> 01:37:14.119 origin story like that then wow you know 01:37:14.119 --> 01:37:17.440 like I don't have to be grateful to see 01:37:17.440 --> 01:37:22.159 again I'm grateful to it versus the 01:37:22.159 --> 01:37:24.600 incredible 01:37:24.600 --> 01:37:27.320 gratitude as it expresses 01:37:27.320 --> 01:37:31.040 itself and hly arises or something you 01:37:31.040 --> 01:37:33.760 know is 01:37:35.080 --> 01:37:39.320 is it predisposes a person in a 01:37:39.320 --> 01:37:43.000 different way to act more like this and 01:37:43.000 --> 01:37:44.440 less like 01:37:44.440 --> 01:37:47.599 that um and it's very subtle right it's 01:37:47.599 --> 01:37:49.800 very beautiful to do gratitude 01:37:49.800 --> 01:37:51.760 practices but 01:37:51.760 --> 01:37:54.840 [Music] 01:37:54.840 --> 01:37:57.920 to have this other Insight that you 01:37:57.920 --> 01:37:59.960 you're not externally related to it so 01:37:59.960 --> 01:38:02.440 it's there's something much more intense 01:38:02.440 --> 01:38:06.719 and rich in 01:38:14.719 --> 01:38:17.800 that yeah that you're just swimming in 01:38:17.800 --> 01:38:20.119 it or swaddle 01:38:20.119 --> 01:38:23.000 SWAT yeah something like that I think 01:38:23.000 --> 01:38:25.320 we're saying the same thing but why does 01:38:25.320 --> 01:38:28.800 it matter because it slightly changes 01:38:28.800 --> 01:38:32.199 your one is really good the other 01:38:32.199 --> 01:38:35.199 one 01:38:36.280 --> 01:38:39.440 uh predisposes a different it changes 01:38:39.440 --> 01:38:40.280 the 01:38:40.280 --> 01:38:42.719 story I don't have to be grateful for it 01:38:42.719 --> 01:38:45.080 grateful for it grateful for it you know 01:38:45.080 --> 01:38:48.159 then little by little I owe it something 01:38:48.159 --> 01:38:50.119 but it's really hard to 01:38:50.119 --> 01:38:53.520 just come to terms with the 01:38:53.520 --> 01:38:56.080 Incredible Gift of being a living human 01:38:56.080 --> 01:38:58.840 being none of 01:38:59.159 --> 01:39:02.480 which you deserved or had to do anything 01:39:02.480 --> 01:39:04.440 for or 01:39:04.440 --> 01:39:07.560 [Music] 01:39:12.480 --> 01:39:17.480 um it's the one hand clapping right it's 01:39:17.880 --> 01:39:20.280 only you can't be in a DI what would 01:39:20.280 --> 01:39:22.360 they would say Di itical relationship 01:39:22.360 --> 01:39:24.040 with it your mind will do that and then 01:39:24.040 --> 01:39:25.679 it'll go back and forth and we'll talk 01:39:25.679 --> 01:39:30.040 about it and talk about it yeah 01:39:33.880 --> 01:39:38.239 k um I so I I grew up religious too but 01:39:38.239 --> 01:39:41.040 Buddhist um and in 01:39:41.040 --> 01:39:43.639 Buddhism because like but my dad's Irish 01:39:43.639 --> 01:39:46.840 Catholic but I didn't I don't really so 01:39:46.840 --> 01:39:48.280 I don't know much about that but I grew 01:39:48.280 --> 01:39:49.400 up mainly Buddhist because that's where 01:39:49.400 --> 01:39:51.960 I was born um 01:39:51.960 --> 01:39:55.080 so I do that's like really unusual for 01:39:55.080 --> 01:39:58.520 me to be like oh I owe because like in 01:39:58.520 --> 01:40:01.280 the Buddhist origin story it's like if 01:40:01.280 --> 01:40:04.320 you're alive the world wanted you to be 01:40:04.320 --> 01:40:06.639 alive because it allowed you to be 01:40:06.639 --> 01:40:10.040 alive um so something to do with like 01:40:10.040 --> 01:40:14.280 aliveness like yeah 01:40:14.280 --> 01:40:17.080 like I think but the but the 01:40:17.080 --> 01:40:18.520 gratefulness to me just mean because I 01:40:18.520 --> 01:40:20.040 love being alive because I want to be 01:40:20.040 --> 01:40:23.360 alive so it's just like natural when I 01:40:23.360 --> 01:40:24.800 think about it like I'm grateful because 01:40:24.800 --> 01:40:26.719 I'm like yeah and because I'm natur 01:40:26.719 --> 01:40:30.000 seeing nature I feel like everything 01:40:30.000 --> 01:40:32.560 wants to be alive because I'm also we're 01:40:32.560 --> 01:40:36.239 all nature or something yeah so like if 01:40:36.239 --> 01:40:39.480 you're alive that's just like 01:40:39.480 --> 01:40:42.199 what it wanted to 01:40:42.199 --> 01:40:44.080 happen like so you don't you don't 01:40:44.080 --> 01:40:47.480 really owe anything yeah unless 01:40:47.480 --> 01:40:49.920 Christians 01:40:49.920 --> 01:40:54.880 oh we owe um yeah and even some Western 01:40:54.880 --> 01:40:57.880 Buddhists they appropriate this notion 01:40:57.880 --> 01:41:01.239 of you have to justify yourself you know 01:41:01.239 --> 01:41:03.920 because the culture is so heavily 01:41:03.920 --> 01:41:06.080 inundated with that I love what you what 01:41:06.080 --> 01:41:08.920 you said to to really we're just 01:41:08.920 --> 01:41:12.560 thriving as it it is a weird word but 01:41:12.560 --> 01:41:15.119 we're just we're it 01:41:15.119 --> 01:41:18.639 thriving um 01:41:19.840 --> 01:41:22.840 yeah 01:41:27.400 --> 01:41:29.719 and of course one might argue that the 01:41:29.719 --> 01:41:32.140 impulse to return the 01:41:32.140 --> 01:41:33.480 [Music] 01:41:33.480 --> 01:41:36.719 debt drives a lot of the horrible things 01:41:36.719 --> 01:41:41.639 we do like to like 01:41:41.639 --> 01:41:45.040 because any attempt to improve on a 01:41:45.040 --> 01:41:49.480 fundamental L level layer is a 01:41:49.840 --> 01:41:52.280 distortion on a fundamental level I 01:41:52.280 --> 01:41:57.040 can't improve the lifegiving 01:42:00.840 --> 01:42:04.159 source I can't do better than nature at 01:42:04.159 --> 01:42:07.560 make at creating life um but 01:42:07.560 --> 01:42:10.719 then yeah there's something that drives 01:42:10.719 --> 01:42:13.719 westerners to pay back the debt or 01:42:13.719 --> 01:42:15.119 eliminate the 01:42:15.119 --> 01:42:18.119 debt 01:42:19.760 --> 01:42:21.840 um 01:42:21.840 --> 01:42:24.080 it's deep deep in our upbringing even if 01:42:24.080 --> 01:42:25.679 we don't believe the story when we're 01:42:25.679 --> 01:42:28.320 adults 01:42:32.480 --> 01:42:35.360 yeah um I I don't know like when because 01:42:35.360 --> 01:42:38.119 when I read like stuff in Tha like 01:42:38.119 --> 01:42:40.599 that's like spiritual I don't know is it 01:42:40.599 --> 01:42:42.320 like also like Western but I'm Western 01:42:42.320 --> 01:42:43.920 too but it's just like I don't know like 01:42:43.920 --> 01:42:45.320 we don't believe we're animals as well 01:42:45.320 --> 01:42:47.000 or something as well that's a big part 01:42:47.000 --> 01:42:49.800 of it so it's weird like it's like weird 01:42:49.800 --> 01:42:52.360 decision making yeah weird we wear an 01:42:52.360 --> 01:42:55.560 animal as well like that's really like 01:42:55.560 --> 01:42:57.920 pushed in like Buddhist text that I read 01:42:57.920 --> 01:42:59.400 in Tai like it's just like we're also 01:42:59.400 --> 01:43:02.880 like another animal I don't know no I 01:43:02.880 --> 01:43:04.159 mean that's what we do here you know 01:43:04.159 --> 01:43:06.040 putting the Mind back into the body and 01:43:06.040 --> 01:43:07.960 the body back into nature we talk a lot 01:43:07.960 --> 01:43:10.760 about our animal nature and then in the 01:43:10.760 --> 01:43:12.719 west we have all these cut 01:43:12.719 --> 01:43:17.239 offs okay so it's hard to describe the 01:43:17.239 --> 01:43:18.760 kind like some like if you look at a 01:43:18.760 --> 01:43:23.159 virus is it alive or is it said well the 01:43:23.159 --> 01:43:26.599 words are too coarse but I do believe 01:43:26.599 --> 01:43:28.920 that it's continuous all the way down if 01:43:28.920 --> 01:43:30.880 my words could describe every little 01:43:30.880 --> 01:43:32.639 refinement and this is more of a 01:43:32.639 --> 01:43:35.119 Buddhist sensibility and it's just I 01:43:35.119 --> 01:43:36.400 mean you don't sit around and talk about 01:43:36.400 --> 01:43:39.119 it because it's just obvious and in the 01:43:39.119 --> 01:43:42.800 west we want to believe that because we 01:43:42.800 --> 01:43:45.440 believe that this fragmented self we 01:43:45.440 --> 01:43:47.599 have is why we're destroying the earth 01:43:47.599 --> 01:43:50.719 and the animals um but it's different 01:43:50.719 --> 01:43:53.199 from wanting to believe it to just it's 01:43:53.199 --> 01:43:56.960 obvious to you you know um and 01:43:56.960 --> 01:44:02.840 so yeah I love that and 01:44:05.280 --> 01:44:09.040 um we talked about in the popup school 01:44:09.040 --> 01:44:12.520 like people can can create simulations 01:44:12.520 --> 01:44:14.920 in their mind but so can 01:44:14.920 --> 01:44:19.159 animals the bee can do the dance to tell 01:44:19.159 --> 01:44:20.920 the other bees where the food is and 01:44:20.920 --> 01:44:23.000 that's an abstraction you know anything 01:44:23.000 --> 01:44:26.800 that now I'm not saying humans aren as 01:44:26.800 --> 01:44:28.719 far as we know one of the things humans 01:44:28.719 --> 01:44:31.119 can do that animals don't do is simulate 01:44:31.119 --> 01:44:34.080 the self and in Buddhism this is the 01:44:34.080 --> 01:44:36.520 problem like I can simulate the 01:44:36.520 --> 01:44:39.159 environment and we can talk about oh you 01:44:39.159 --> 01:44:41.560 know when we go there let's have Nancy 01:44:41.560 --> 01:44:44.280 sit with John so we're Sim but when you 01:44:44.280 --> 01:44:47.520 simulate the self this is a big problem 01:44:47.520 --> 01:44:50.599 because then the self starts to run dis 01:44:50.599 --> 01:44:52.800 other thing and as far as I know animals 01:44:52.800 --> 01:44:55.280 don't do that that's what I would say 01:44:55.280 --> 01:44:59.119 is the lovely prerogative of people and 01:44:59.119 --> 01:45:02.199 it's certainly a the point of which the 01:45:02.199 --> 01:45:03.639 Buddhists try 01:45:03.639 --> 01:45:07.280 to um yeah eliminate 01:45:07.280 --> 01:45:11.000 or dampen at 01:45:15.880 --> 01:45:19.480 least a lot of a lot of you know Western 01:45:19.480 --> 01:45:22.239 Buddhists they simulate the self and 01:45:22.239 --> 01:45:24.320 that's the self they want to awaken you 01:45:24.320 --> 01:45:25.960 know that's the self that goes to the 01:45:25.960 --> 01:45:29.320 meditation cushion and tries to 01:45:29.320 --> 01:45:35.599 improve uh that's very hard hard 01:45:35.599 --> 01:45:39.199 um it's very hard for westerners to 01:45:39.199 --> 01:45:42.199 see 01:45:42.960 --> 01:45:46.440 because when you believe that yourself 01:45:46.440 --> 01:45:48.639 is part and continuous animals and 01:45:48.639 --> 01:45:50.760 nature then the grounding goes goes 01:45:50.760 --> 01:45:52.960 right down there something 01:45:52.960 --> 01:45:56.040 concrete without that you have this 01:45:56.040 --> 01:45:57.880 other problem where you're going to 01:45:57.880 --> 01:46:00.719 situate yourself in some kind of like 01:46:00.719 --> 01:46:02.520 imaginary 01:46:02.520 --> 01:46:07.040 context yeah thank you for that I 01:46:14.040 --> 01:46:16.639 mean 01:46:16.639 --> 01:46:19.679 stop she says you're an animal and I'm a 01:46:19.679 --> 01:46:22.400 person too 01:46:23.080 --> 01:46:26.520 she wants it to work both 01:46:31.800 --> 01:46:35.360 ways okay I'm thinking that with that we 01:46:35.360 --> 01:46:37.840 should um I love that with that 01:46:37.840 --> 01:46:41.639 inspiration that yes it is possible it's 01:46:41.639 --> 01:46:43.880 the rest of the world many people in the 01:46:43.880 --> 01:46:47.880 rest of the world um it's it's a a 01:46:47.880 --> 01:46:50.960 fundamental truth um and hopefully we 01:46:50.960 --> 01:46:56.239 can move ourselves to that here um and 01:46:56.239 --> 01:46:58.119 thank you for uh putting up with me I'm 01:46:58.119 --> 01:47:01.440 just kind of sluggish and um but I feel 01:47:01.440 --> 01:47:04.119 that healing energy and um I'll see you 01:47:04.119 --> 01:47:07.000 on Saturday thank you C for showing up 01:47:07.000 --> 01:47:09.599

01:47:21.400 --> 01:47:24.920 you internally change or internally 01:47:24.920 --> 01:47:28.360 inside me or something yeah yeah yeah 01:47:28.360 --> 01:47:30.159 hopefully I just give you confidence

been sleeping for 18 00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:19.240 hours a day and uh having no problem 00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:22.359 doing that and now I understand what 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.199 it's like to be a 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.960 cat um that this is a possible way to 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.320 live 00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:35.200 um okay so hi 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.160 everybody 00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:42.039 um this is the last session on the 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:47.879 origins story uh or the origins of the 00:00:47.879 --> 00:00:51.320 body and 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.520 um you know one of the things we haven't 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:55.920 talked a lot about is we want to tell an 00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.920 origin story in 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.920 which 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.360 we stretch we stretch 00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:05.000 [Music] 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.040 the definition of a body so whatever it 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.280 is that's there at the beginning is also 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:15.880 a body um so 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:18.640 um um we haven't talked a lot about that 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.479 but I was just going over the uh 00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:28.680 beginning post again um yeah so 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:33.399 um May maybe I'll just open it up um for 00:01:33.399 --> 00:01:37.439 where um I don't know any comments or or 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.720 discussions on um this notion of Origins 00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:43.479 and then I'll say a little bit about a 00:01:43.479 --> 00:01:46.960 segue between this one and the next one 00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:48.719 and anything we want to talk about if 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.520 you've been listening to videos anything 00:01:50.520 --> 00:01:53.960 that popped up for you 00:01:53.960 --> 00:01:57.560 um um you could do that in breakouts do 00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:58.799 you want to go into breakouts you want 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:00.439 to do it in this large 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.360 group 61 half dozen other let's just 00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:05.560 stay here for now and then 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.119 uh yeah um because we don't have 00:02:08.119 --> 00:02:11.120 anything particularly particular topic 00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:15.519 to uh Orient ourselves so let the games 00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:17.800 begin my brain is working a little 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.879 better today so uh that's good 00:02:28.760 --> 00:02:31.760 news 00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:34.200 one of the things that's interesting to 00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:38.040 me is that there are origin stories that 00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:41.360 I used to find 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.319 unsatisfying because like they don't 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:45.480 explain how matter arose or something 00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:48.080 like that right 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.400 but they do explain or they they they 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.920 talk about the origin of something like 00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:55.959 the origin of how things are now versus 00:02:55.959 --> 00:03:00.280 the origin of how it all came to be 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.239 so I'm just imp playing with this idea 00:03:03.239 --> 00:03:06.360 of the difference between looking for a 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.040 origin story or gathering a collection 00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:13.319 of origin stories so in the beginning 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.640 versus in the beginnings like in one of 00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:19.920 the beginnings some this is what 00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:21.640 happened 00:03:21.640 --> 00:03:24.000 um yeah I'm thinking a lot of about 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.040 these like old origin stories like 00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:30.200 um like 00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:32.840 in the beginning the Earth was 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.760 flat and coyote was roaming around and a 00:03:36.760 --> 00:03:39.239 plant said if you eat me you're going to 00:03:39.239 --> 00:03:41.720 yourself and Coyote's like no I 00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:44.480 won't myself and I'll eat the plant 00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:46.439 and he started and that's how 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:48.640 the Earth kind of gains form right like 00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:52.040 it's there's there's all these 00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:54.640 like I don't know there's I have a 00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:56.239 desire for a new origin story I also 00:03:56.239 --> 00:03:57.959 have a desire to look at all these old 00:03:57.959 --> 00:04:00.760 origin stories and see 00:04:00.760 --> 00:04:04.400 what they were actually pointing 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.959 at that's all I 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.799 got well that's really interesting 00:04:15.799 --> 00:04:17.040 because it made me I'm just going to 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.600 write it down is we're going to go into 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.680 the origins of 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.680 culture and 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:27.040 they they're embedded right 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.240 so it's easier to tell the origins of 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.000 culture because we can trace it's traced 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:34.960 back through different 00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:38.600 mechanisms um in the historical record 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.039 but in from one 00:04:42.039 --> 00:04:44.080 view you know first you have the origin 00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:45.600 of the universe which gives rise to 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.639 culture but from another view you have 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.120 to have 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.880 culture to tell an origin 00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:56.720 story so it's kind of 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.759 like a lot of what the origins of 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.840 culture R is a common origin story 00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:07.199 of yeah this interesting entanglement 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.479 upside down inside out kind of thing 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.840 there want maybe add to that because I 00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:24.560 think with a lot of the older 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.840 mythologies one of the things I find 00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:27.319 always a little bit difficult or 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:29.039 frustrating is that the way they 00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:31.039 describe the characters or the 00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:33.759 figures that are at work in the kind of 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.039 early causation they have these 00:05:36.039 --> 00:05:37.759 properties which already suggest a very 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.560 rich and complex context and so it's 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:41.880 like it doesn't answer the how do you 00:05:41.880 --> 00:05:43.840 get context from from nothing question 00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:45.600 there's already a kind of implicit prior 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.680 context and I always find that quite 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.039 frustrating so it's like or or it's like 00:05:50.039 --> 00:05:51.759 well what is it what is this you know 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.800 it's not uh it's not really an origin 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:58.479 story it's a kind of something else it's 00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:01.479 yeah 00:06:15.479 --> 00:06:18.039 I've been listening and it's 00:06:18.039 --> 00:06:20.960 fascinating what everyone has said 00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:22.440 origin 00:06:22.440 --> 00:06:26.319 stories and I I love the simulation 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.120 Theory that's going around almost like 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.720 from one mind whether it's God or the 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.720 conscious energy field but within it I 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.120 found my own narrative that I've been 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.080 trying to understand and that's like my 00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:42.599 origin story for my continuation of my 00:06:42.599 --> 00:06:45.199 so-called Dharma which is you all know 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.720 I'm in my second generation passing 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:49.919 things on passing the torch on more or 00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:52.160 less but still maintaining activity 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.440 within it so I just have my own 00:06:54.440 --> 00:06:56.800 simulation story 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.120 narrative that carries me on I just I 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.080 just love that simulation aspect 00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:04.400 whatever wherever it came from whether 00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:07.240 it's God or and then within it are 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.960 multitudes of little creation stories 00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:12.800 that all feed the 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.680 whole John can you say more about the 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:23.360 simulation like what what what's the 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:24.720 simulation 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.039 story well I don't know it's going 00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:29.720 around in uh it's related to quantum 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.960 mechanics I suppose and Bonnie could 00:07:31.960 --> 00:07:36.879 talk about it a lot more than I but uh 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.080 it's just uh one great mind is instead 00:07:40.080 --> 00:07:42.919 of uh back to the Creator you know 00:07:42.919 --> 00:07:45.120 creating things in seven days which is 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:49.199 somewhat ridiculous um it formulated in 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.800 uh that was allowed to just manifest 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:53.360 through 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.720 time and 00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:00.599 uh whether it's uh God's creation or 00:08:00.599 --> 00:08:02.960 or or it was allowed to happen through 00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:05.000 the one mind that branched off in the 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.440 multitude of Minds I can't really talk 00:08:07.440 --> 00:08:09.479 about it very 00:08:09.479 --> 00:08:12.960 effectively but uh it it's it's out 00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:16.280 there people are talking about 00:08:21.960 --> 00:08:25.280 it I love the uh the story you told and 00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:27.639 I think that all fits in within it and 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:29.360 then tying to a multitude of different 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.759 cultures that formulated around it 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.640 around all those stories and branched 00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:37.159 out I don't 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.719 know that's just 00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:00.880 interesting Bonnie I'm curious I mean 00:09:00.880 --> 00:09:02.279 I've missed most of these sessions 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:06.440 except for the first one and I know you 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:10.959 were maybe hoping for some artifact to 00:09:10.959 --> 00:09:12.880 arise how do I mean how does one know 00:09:12.880 --> 00:09:14.880 when one's caught how do you know when 00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:18.440 you've caught An Origin 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.959 story I mean I have a lot of notes and a 00:09:20.959 --> 00:09:25.399 lot of things are working up 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:28.240 um um how do you know when one's caught 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.120 in origin 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.279 story I think it's not a matter of so 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:45.720 who said this let's see where is he 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.760 Steve I think yeah Steve said it it's 00:09:48.760 --> 00:09:50.040 kind of 00:09:50.040 --> 00:09:53.040 like 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.079 um we're in service okay it's just like 00:09:57.079 --> 00:09:59.839 imagination right imagin uh no memory 00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:01.839 memory is in service to the moment we 00:10:01.839 --> 00:10:03.160 remember we were saying how like you 00:10:03.160 --> 00:10:05.480 don't really remember anything it keeps 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.240 updated because it's in service to the 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:10.519 presence well this is sort of what our 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.560 project is here we're not we're not dumb 00:10:13.560 --> 00:10:17.279 enough to think we can find the origin 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.320 story um we're looking for an origin 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.399 story that serves um the situation we're 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:31.040 in now um that will help 00:10:32.680 --> 00:10:35.680 steer people toward preferred Futures 00:10:35.680 --> 00:10:38.680 right so An Origin story that makes it 00:10:38.680 --> 00:10:39.959 that is very 00:10:39.959 --> 00:10:43.440 plausible that 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.519 um puts the Mind back into the body and 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.800 the body back into nature okay so 00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:51.000 simulation as a origin story doesn't 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:52.680 really do that it kind of It kind of 00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:55.560 says like the body's in a simulation 00:10:55.560 --> 00:10:58.680 which is more like a information Theory 00:10:58.680 --> 00:11:02.800 s LR so that's that's an alternative but 00:11:02.800 --> 00:11:06.480 our purpose is axiomatic to we just say 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:07.880 we want to do this because we're 00:11:07.880 --> 00:11:10.200 destroying our environment and this is 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:13.160 why we're doing it now I can't 00:11:13.160 --> 00:11:16.959 then explain why or Justify my purpose 00:11:16.959 --> 00:11:19.399 right I'm just this is this is a project 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:23.600 and it's axiomatic to that 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.600 so 00:11:27.959 --> 00:11:30.920 um so in that sense it's very practical 00:11:30.920 --> 00:11:34.079 but the second part is on that's on this 00:11:34.079 --> 00:11:36.480 side this side of the creation process 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:40.600 the other side is um you're 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.600 hoping 00:11:43.839 --> 00:11:49.120 that by some Quirk of history and 00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:51.880 fate people read 00:11:51.880 --> 00:11:54.440 it 00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.600 and it lands in a way like this is what 00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:00.000 happened to Wilbur right before Wilbur 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.360 nobody knew what he said everybody that 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.040 read Wilbur is like I knew that all 00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:07.680 along it was so self-evident the way he 00:12:07.680 --> 00:12:10.480 put it together right because something 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.560 in them it was latent in them uh you 00:12:13.560 --> 00:12:14.959 know a whole generation of people this 00:12:14.959 --> 00:12:18.279 is not for everyone mostly young um men 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.680 it was a certain demographic and it 00:12:20.680 --> 00:12:22.800 became like he articulated something 00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:23.880 that was 00:12:23.880 --> 00:12:26.600 completely uh present in a in a 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.639 subconscious way to people and they had 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.440 an organized it and so that's what I 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.199 would say An Origin story that lands has 00:12:34.199 --> 00:12:37.160 those two aspects to it it it lands on 00:12:37.160 --> 00:12:38.320 this end 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.360 because there are 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:43.199 certain choices made that are axiomatic 00:12:43.199 --> 00:12:46.639 to our purpose um this is something for 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:51.600 example that I've constantly am confused 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.240 about like John Veri like obviously out 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:57.440 of all the things he could draw in to do 00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.000 a synoptic integration he chooses some 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.360 and not others same with us but why you 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.240 know you never know what like what is 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:08.160 what you 00:13:08.160 --> 00:13:10.920 know uh Jordan Peterson is a little more 00:13:10.920 --> 00:13:12.959 obvious because he's more obvious you 00:13:12.959 --> 00:13:14.639 know he's fighting woke and he's 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.639 fighting post-modernism he's fighting a 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:22.240 certain cultural kind of momentum so you 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.240 can you he he's gonna interpret 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:25.800 Pinocchio in a certain way and he's 00:13:25.800 --> 00:13:28.360 gonna inter you know Jonathan Pou he's 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:29.800 he's 00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:34.240 he you know he's so you can see that 00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:36.680 that there's these purposeful aims on 00:13:36.680 --> 00:13:39.399 you know for certain people because you 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:42.440 can't synoptically integrate everything 00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.519 um so that's on our end but the hope is 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:49.160 is that you've got some kind 00:13:51.839 --> 00:13:55.440 of sensing into what people are starving 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.880 for because if if if now you can't make 00:13:58.880 --> 00:14:00.320 that up like that's why I said some 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.680 Quirk of history and timing and stuff 00:14:03.680 --> 00:14:06.240 like that because you can't but that 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.800 somehow um you're living in the moment 00:14:08.800 --> 00:14:11.040 and you can articulate the moment in a 00:14:11.040 --> 00:14:14.240 way that coales that coales is for a lot 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:18.199 of people and and 00:14:18.199 --> 00:14:21.720 um and 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.360 um that would be the purpose of an 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.240 origin story so when Wilbur wrote up 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:30.079 from Eden so kind it's an origin story 00:14:30.079 --> 00:14:31.000 and it 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.320 just uh it just 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.720 situated what people were experiencing 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.079 again it's a very small demographic but 00:14:40.079 --> 00:14:43.279 this demographic just got SW you know 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.720 was really like you know a blueprint and 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:48.720 you know the left hand fitting the left 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.639 hand and the right hand fitting together 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:55.639 um so that's what you're trying trying I 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:56.600 would 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:58.880 say that would be did that answer your 00:14:58.880 --> 00:15:01.720 question that would be what a successful 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.839 origin story origin story is just a part 00:15:03.839 --> 00:15:06.399 of the project as I wrote um but that 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:10.160 would be um a successful origin story 00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:12.880 and then the larger project has those 00:15:12.880 --> 00:15:15.279 other aspects to it that that I wrote in 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.160 the pitch yeah it was a gorgeous 00:15:18.160 --> 00:15:20.480 response and that's exactly the 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.000 experience I had when I read up from 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.680 Eden 20 years ago yeah it's like two 00:15:24.680 --> 00:15:26.920 hands matching and and that's why 00:15:26.920 --> 00:15:28.360 everybody else you know it didn't take 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:29.920 long where people were like oh that's 00:15:29.920 --> 00:15:31.880 self-evident you know it was like it was 00:15:31.880 --> 00:15:34.319 like they made it up themselves because 00:15:34.319 --> 00:15:35.959 something in them was already 00:15:35.959 --> 00:15:39.160 self-evident to them 00:15:39.160 --> 00:15:43.079 um but that doesn't take away the 00:15:43.079 --> 00:15:46.639 extraordinary um effort that or 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:49.839 accomplishment to make it articulate it 00:15:49.839 --> 00:15:53.480 in a way that it became self-evident you 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:56.680 know so 00:15:56.680 --> 00:15:59.920 uh that's part of it that's part of it 00:15:59.920 --> 00:16:02.959 so part of it is having this purposeful 00:16:02.959 --> 00:16:05.279 thing and hoping that that is 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.160 timely um because if it's not it won't 00:16:08.160 --> 00:16:12.000 work and then having a sense 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:20.160 that yeah what 00:16:20.160 --> 00:16:23.240 what what are people like starving for 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.160 you know um that they don't even know 00:16:26.160 --> 00:16:27.639 they're starving for but as soon as they 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.519 see it then it it just lands so 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:32.639 something like 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:35.480 that yeah I can relate to that that's 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:38.560 like my narrative story is tied to 30 00:16:38.560 --> 00:16:40.959 years old of of trying to bring my 00:16:40.959 --> 00:16:43.639 purpose in life forward into helping in 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:47.000 my aspect of that which will tie into 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:50.560 more of your outer line aspect of uh 00:16:50.560 --> 00:16:53.720 developing something for the future of 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:55.720 humanity which I think part of my 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:57.720 narrative is trying to do too but but 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.440 I'm not in the bigger picture of it 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.040 that's one reason I I'm wanting to go I 00:17:03.040 --> 00:17:06.280 have signed up for your June course next 00:17:06.280 --> 00:17:09.199 year so I'm planning on that but I'm 00:17:09.199 --> 00:17:12.839 hoping I can take my therapy uh service 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.280 dog along who's very good if that would 00:17:16.280 --> 00:17:19.480 be okay because the last time I 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:23.240 believe you'll have to last year she oh 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:26.679 she ran away okay yeah when I leave her 00:17:26.679 --> 00:17:29.039 okay I think it's okay you'll have the 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.039 when it launches the public site 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.880 launches um I'm not organizing it it's 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.360 Brian and Sky Meadow um so they'll be 00:17:37.360 --> 00:17:39.160 able to answer your questions but I get 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:42.400 the impression that that's okay um okay 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.039 but she was good at she was good at a 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.160 silent Retreat and she didn't talk till 00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:48.200 it was legal to 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.320 talk yeah so but uh you know you'll be 00:17:51.320 --> 00:17:53.600 able to be in touch with them I'm not 00:17:53.600 --> 00:17:55.360 I'm not in charge of 00:17:55.360 --> 00:17:57.840 that okay good thank you I'm not even 00:17:57.840 --> 00:18:01.200 sure they let let me 00:18:01.280 --> 00:18:03.880 go they haven't haven't they haven't 00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:06.919 told me yet but part of my simulation is 00:18:06.919 --> 00:18:09.679 my narrative that I can fit into uh 00:18:09.679 --> 00:18:12.360 other narratives that keep growing and 00:18:12.360 --> 00:18:14.840 expanding and we talked about simulation 00:18:14.840 --> 00:18:17.799 once upon a time during our past year 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:20.919 yeah we talked about that um one of the 00:18:20.919 --> 00:18:23.320 things what we call mind is that it it 00:18:23.320 --> 00:18:26.400 it runs simulations and that animal 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.799 animals can run simulations too and you 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:31.960 know so that would be an example of for 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:35.600 example um telling that story which is 00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:39.880 just kind of actually true um means 00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:44.080 means a lot to people that that okay to 00:18:44.080 --> 00:18:46.600 to know that animals run simulations 00:18:46.600 --> 00:18:50.159 too means maybe that simulations didn't 00:18:50.159 --> 00:18:52.000 just like were not 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.360 just a drift in simulations and the rest 00:18:55.360 --> 00:18:59.000 of the animal kingdom is is some somehow 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:02.919 different you know so that would be uh a 00:19:02.919 --> 00:19:06.520 purposeful story 00:19:07.320 --> 00:19:09.640 Justin I'm going to ramble a little bit 00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:11.720 I think but I'm going to start I mean 00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.320 the origin of the cosmos the universe 00:19:15.320 --> 00:19:17.240 fascinates me but it's not an answerable 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:19.679 question really like what happened we 00:19:19.679 --> 00:19:21.679 don't know but it does fascinate me 00:19:21.679 --> 00:19:24.120 nevertheless more 00:19:24.120 --> 00:19:27.200 locally Cosmic dust compacted and when 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:28.960 it got hot enough and dense enough it 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:31.320 ignited we have a star and all life on 00:19:31.320 --> 00:19:33.120 this planet came from the radiation from 00:19:33.120 --> 00:19:35.280 that star that's an origin story as far 00:19:35.280 --> 00:19:38.080 as I'm concerned but it doesn't mean 00:19:38.080 --> 00:19:41.960 anything now I will say that for me 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:44.440 there has been some kind of lifelong I 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:46.720 would say gravitational pull that I am 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:50.760 tuned to that is pulling is beckoning me 00:19:50.760 --> 00:19:52.360 as a better word in a particular 00:19:52.360 --> 00:19:54.440 direction I am following that I don't 00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:56.200 assign any meaning to it I don't have a 00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:58.799 story about it I know what it feels like 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.000 and I know that 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.080 I'm sort 00:20:02.080 --> 00:20:06.000 of I'm not obliged to follow it but I 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:07.840 have chosen to 00:20:07.840 --> 00:20:10.799 somehow I don't even know that that was 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.000 a conscious choice but I'm doing that 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.440 and wherever it leads me that's I'm 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.200 going and I don't need a story I don't 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:20.919 at least that's my current 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:24.679 position yeah so underneath what you're 00:20:24.679 --> 00:20:27.360 saying you may not be excuse me saying 00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:28.760 this but 00:20:28.760 --> 00:20:31.240 part of an origin 00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:33.960 story should tap 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:36.960 into 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:41.120 um if you if you can tell the origin 00:20:41.120 --> 00:20:42.520 story right and this is what I think 00:20:42.520 --> 00:20:46.080 your experien is you may be able to pull 00:20:46.080 --> 00:20:49.520 off that something in your experience 00:20:49.520 --> 00:20:52.520 today 00:20:52.760 --> 00:20:56.320 um is the same pattern that you can be 00:20:56.320 --> 00:20:59.120 in touch with that was there since the 00:20:59.120 --> 00:21:02.760 origin right that that 00:21:02.760 --> 00:21:05.760 somehow 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.240 um like what did I say in the pitch that 00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:13.320 the the patterns of the universe can be 00:21:13.320 --> 00:21:14.799 discovered in the patterns that make us 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:16.880 feel more alive I mean you know it's a 00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:18.840 pitch statement so there's a little bit 00:21:18.840 --> 00:21:22.080 of that in it but I do believe that 00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:23.320 [Music] 00:21:23.320 --> 00:21:25.600 um 00:21:25.600 --> 00:21:28.559 that a technically correct or 00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:31.840 technically good origin story would 00:21:31.840 --> 00:21:35.320 because see the whole book 00:21:35.320 --> 00:21:39.039 um is based upon a framework where 00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:41.559 instead of having a metaphysics that 00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:43.840 stands by itself it has a what I call a 00:21:43.840 --> 00:21:46.360 metaphysics of experience that by 00:21:46.360 --> 00:21:50.080 attending to experience 00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:54.640 directly and I don't mean in the Vasa 00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:55.840 way 00:21:55.840 --> 00:21:58.880 because that's more of an anal 00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:00.799 logical 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:02.440 uh 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:06.320 uh analytic um deconstruction but more 00:22:06.320 --> 00:22:08.440 like you describe like just you're just 00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:11.320 attending to something keep attending to 00:22:11.320 --> 00:22:16.760 it and somehow there's this this sense 00:22:16.760 --> 00:22:19.799 that what you're attending to is 00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:21.360 originary 00:22:21.360 --> 00:22:24.600 and so from a metaphysics experience you 00:22:24.600 --> 00:22:27.120 should be able at different levels of 00:22:27.120 --> 00:22:28.600 depth 00:22:28.600 --> 00:22:31.360 defined in your 00:22:31.360 --> 00:22:34.720 experience the same patterns that go 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.320 back further and further versus just 00:22:37.320 --> 00:22:39.720 having an origin story that is just an 00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:44.080 imaginary that that is just a story and 00:22:44.080 --> 00:22:46.919 that would be um something that is in 00:22:46.919 --> 00:22:52.039 the frame of of the work so 00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:57.480 um you still have to end story it right 00:22:57.480 --> 00:22:59.520 you still have to say okay this feels 00:22:59.520 --> 00:23:02.440 like it's come you know this this 00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:05.559 feeling is like must be the vibration 00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:07.440 that's been here for a long time blah 00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:09.799 blah blah and then you can inore it in 00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:13.440 origin story but hopefully that that's 00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:16.840 something about your people's current 00:23:16.840 --> 00:23:20.679 experience will be directly 00:23:20.679 --> 00:23:25.600 reflected in the origin story um 00:23:25.600 --> 00:23:27.720 yeah well I think that now thinking 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:29.760 about I do have a kind of a story about 00:23:29.760 --> 00:23:32.520 it and is you know I have children and 00:23:32.520 --> 00:23:34.240 with an infant they're totally 00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:36.640 completely unfocused they're just like 00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:38.480 you know mine were both completely 00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:40.159 different from day one but they're very 00:23:40.159 --> 00:23:42.559 different but they are completely 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:46.559 unfocused um so but I do have this 00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:50.279 notion and I guess it is the story that 00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:52.240 I 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:55.080 intended to have this 00:23:55.080 --> 00:23:58.240 experience I do have that that notion 00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:02.480 and that as the tension narrowed I lost 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:05.200 track of the intention and that's what's 00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:06.880 pulling me is that 00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:09.240 intention and that's a story but it's 00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:12.400 the one I'm using currently yeah 00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.600 yeah um okay 00:24:15.600 --> 00:24:18.559 good um we'll get to some other things 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:20.840 later 00:24:22.520 --> 00:24:24.279 Marie 00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:28.799 um yeah this might be off 00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:34.360 topic um but I'm I'm I'm here 00:24:34.360 --> 00:24:38.760 in uh in Florence caly and hanging out 00:24:38.760 --> 00:24:40.919 in 00:24:40.919 --> 00:24:48.799 um a a very Catholic culture and um and 00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:50.279 just sort 00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:53.840 of observing like 00:24:53.840 --> 00:24:57.080 origin the the origin story for 00:24:57.080 --> 00:24:58.399 Catholicism 00:24:58.399 --> 00:25:02.120 is or for Christianity is that Jesus 00:25:02.120 --> 00:25:05.399 died for our sins and I've never I've 00:25:05.399 --> 00:25:07.279 never understood what that meant I'm 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:12.880 sort of an Insider Outsider to um I was 00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:14.279 raised in 00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:18.279 a a Catholic Family but I was I was I 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:20.360 wasn't fully 00:25:20.360 --> 00:25:22.559 enculturated and and so I've always felt 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.200 a bit like an Insider Outsider I mostly 00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.240 feel like a Christian or I might clim 00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:31.559 some aspect of Catholicism when I'm in a 00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:34.000 completely different culture where I 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:36.200 have that that that reference from 00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:40.720 outside but being here it's um what is 00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:43.480 poignant for me is 00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:47.600 observing the the Resonance of whatever 00:25:47.600 --> 00:25:51.919 this story is it's had staying power for 00:25:51.919 --> 00:25:55.919 over over 2,000 years and it's 00:25:55.919 --> 00:25:59.520 like how does that happen happen like 00:25:59.520 --> 00:26:02.039 how how like it's just a complete 00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:06.720 mystery to me so like wondering as being 00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:09.760 an inquiry around like okay An Origin 00:26:09.760 --> 00:26:15.000 story of the universe or of life or 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.000 like 00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.960 um H just 00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.360 how how does a story like that gain any 00:26:26.360 --> 00:26:28.520 kind of cultural resonance 00:26:28.520 --> 00:26:31.840 that has any kind of momentum attached 00:26:31.840 --> 00:26:35.440 to it is is I guess kind of 00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:38.200 the the question that I'm that I'm 00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.559 circling bless 00:26:46.520 --> 00:26:49.720 you well I think that any origin story 00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:50.679 that you can 00:26:50.679 --> 00:26:52.440 tell in 00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:54.279 a 00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:58.120 short way is going to sound equally 00:26:58.120 --> 00:27:00.360 ridiculous right like at some point in 00:27:00.360 --> 00:27:02.480 time people look at it and and say 00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:03.600 that's 00:27:03.600 --> 00:27:06.279 ridiculous um so again this notion of 00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:08.200 being at the right historical moment at 00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:12.240 the right time satisfying a need 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:14.720 for the certain thing those there's a 00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:16.159 couple of people here and they're also 00:27:16.159 --> 00:27:19.279 in my Parallax course and we were just 00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:20.919 talking about this it's fascinating 00:27:20.919 --> 00:27:22.480 because I have an ilot said you know 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:23.880 there was the Old 00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:27.120 Testament where uh even the Old 00:27:27.120 --> 00:27:29.360 Testament is weird because you know 00:27:29.360 --> 00:27:32.559 there's God one two 3 four five days 00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:34.320 then there's man and he rested but the 00:27:34.320 --> 00:27:36.440 rest of the Old Testament is primarily a 00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:40.840 story of the Hebrew people and he he 00:27:40.840 --> 00:27:44.000 talks about that um and their 00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:47.679 relationship to God and he says that um 00:27:47.679 --> 00:27:50.000 very similar to gser he said 00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:52.840 extraordinary thing happened because the 00:27:52.840 --> 00:27:55.440 Hebrew people started to they were 00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:58.360 tribal and they had a they had a 00:27:58.360 --> 00:28:00.559 trial understanding of time so things 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:02.159 just went around and around and around 00:28:02.159 --> 00:28:04.080 and then they start to 00:28:04.080 --> 00:28:07.640 see that time is historical and they 00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.440 become very fascinated in 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:14.279 projecting the pro prophesizing the 00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:16.360 future which brings in the Messianic 00:28:16.360 --> 00:28:19.600 thing and then ill said so in 00:28:19.600 --> 00:28:21.039 Catholicism 00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:24.240 Christianity um history Stops With Jesus 00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:27.000 it's finished there's nothing more you 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:29.320 can look look forward to there's nothing 00:28:29.320 --> 00:28:32.840 more Pro there's no more progress Jesus 00:28:32.840 --> 00:28:37.360 is the um has all the answers and 00:28:37.360 --> 00:28:40.640 everything else is the perversion of The 00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:44.240 Virtue which is Jesus Christ and in this 00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:46.080 sense 00:28:46.080 --> 00:28:48.480 that 00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:50.760 um and then everything else you just 00:28:50.760 --> 00:28:55.760 wait until the apocalypse right so 00:28:55.760 --> 00:28:59.480 um this is an interesting way to see 00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:01.720 circular time then there's origin and 00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:04.200 then there's the end of History uh with 00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:06.519 Christianity according to Ian ilich that 00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:08.279 there's no more prophecies there's no 00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:10.960 more prophets there's no me more 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:13.360 Messianic verver there's none of that 00:29:13.360 --> 00:29:15.440 you just you're supposed to do what 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:16.720 Jesus 00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:19.720 does that's the only you know that's 00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:23.799 it's finished it's he's he completed 00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:26.320 something 00:29:26.320 --> 00:29:28.880 um 00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:30.320 I don't know if that's why it has its 00:29:30.320 --> 00:29:32.360 staying power 00:29:32.360 --> 00:29:36.600 um elich would also argue that the the 00:29:36.600 --> 00:29:40.159 European State the European nation state 00:29:40.159 --> 00:29:44.279 and hence all of Western culture um this 00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:47.919 was because Paul there was 00:29:47.919 --> 00:29:50.880 Paul and there was the other guy can't 00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:52.240 remember his 00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:55.840 name the one that was struck down he was 00:29:55.840 --> 00:29:58.320 killing Jews but then he was struck duck 00:29:58.320 --> 00:30:04.679 down and um come on Peter uh no Peter 00:30:04.679 --> 00:30:07.039 Peter was the one that established the 00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:09.080 church right the rock Peter so there's 00:30:09.080 --> 00:30:10.679 Peter and there was Paul and Paul wanted 00:30:10.679 --> 00:30:13.880 to continue the Gnostic kind of 00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:16.880 dissemination of Christianity but Peter 00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:18.760 had stayed back in Rome and learned 00:30:18.760 --> 00:30:21.640 about the Holy Roman Empire and in the 00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:25.360 hierarchy of roles and all of this and 00:30:25.360 --> 00:30:29.200 for a long time Christianity and and the 00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:31.559 state the Roman state were this were the 00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:33.960 same thing and so it's so totally IM 00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:36.679 mesed in everything we understand about 00:30:36.679 --> 00:30:39.240 the nation state and hierarchy and roles 00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:41.480 and participation so I would say that 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:44.000 that's a big reason and of course in 00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:46.559 Italy they have still have the 00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:48.799 Roman uh you know they still have the 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:51.200 territory of Rome there so I would say 00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:53.840 that's that's a that's a big deal it's 00:30:53.840 --> 00:30:55.760 the same when you have these mon you 00:30:55.760 --> 00:30:58.399 know these Arab states where where the 00:30:58.399 --> 00:31:00.760 government and the state are so 00:31:00.760 --> 00:31:03.360 closely together there's not not a lot 00:31:03.360 --> 00:31:07.679 of deconstruction that can 00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:19.799 happen 00:31:20.679 --> 00:31:24.120 Jessica hi um I haven't been here for a 00:31:24.120 --> 00:31:26.639 while um just because of busy things in 00:31:26.639 --> 00:31:29.320 life but I am back because I was doing 00:31:29.320 --> 00:31:31.200 such a happy dance when I read your 00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:33.360 pitch and it was like I just like oh my 00:31:33.360 --> 00:31:34.840 God like when you're saying like what 00:31:34.840 --> 00:31:38.519 are people starving for um and I I I had 00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:40.240 to do my own book proposal a few months 00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:41.720 ago and you have to answer that question 00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:44.080 like why this book now and I'm like God 00:31:44.080 --> 00:31:46.120 damn I wish that Bonnie had runs before 00:31:46.120 --> 00:31:47.919 so I could have cribed all the things 00:31:47.919 --> 00:31:49.880 that you were saying about like where we 00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:55.679 are and what's needed um and and but I 00:31:55.679 --> 00:31:58.159 know that this is coming into a question 00:31:58.159 --> 00:32:01.080 like I know that naming a thing and 00:32:01.080 --> 00:32:03.440 doing a thing are sometimes like 00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:06.559 antithetical to one to the other and 00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:09.519 like when I try to share just in casual 00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:11.159 conversation with friends like some 00:32:11.159 --> 00:32:12.440 insight that we've had or something that 00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:14.519 I've learned through my time like in the 00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:18.159 popup school and with everyone here um 00:32:18.159 --> 00:32:20.159 it's hard to talk about like what popup 00:32:20.159 --> 00:32:22.679 school is or what we're doing or and yet 00:32:22.679 --> 00:32:26.399 there's this real sort of like desire to 00:32:26.399 --> 00:32:29.720 share it and credited and and so I'm 00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:33.000 just kind of wondering like what do 00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:34.840 other people do what what like what do 00:32:34.840 --> 00:32:37.000 you say are have has anyone given like 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.559 language to um like an easy way to kind 00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:43.480 of credit something back to the popup 00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:45.960 School 00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:53.799 process you know in my all those years I 00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:56.000 taught the Master's course toward the 00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:58.039 end we started ask adding a little when 00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:00.080 people were writing their thesis we 00:33:00.080 --> 00:33:01.960 started adding a 00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:05.320 little module and the module was now 00:33:05.320 --> 00:33:07.320 because we would meet for three three 00:33:07.320 --> 00:33:09.840 days 10 hours on Friday 10 hours on 00:33:09.840 --> 00:33:12.360 Saturday 10 hours on Sunday which was an 00:33:12.360 --> 00:33:15.279 intense immersive it was that and so 00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:17.519 like this stuff for 30 hours right but 00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:20.200 you're in together so there's like drama 00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.240 and there's crying 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:27.279 and so but let's say the last quarter 00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:29.120 we'd meet and then I'd say okay now 00:33:29.120 --> 00:33:32.080 spend 15 minutes talking to each other 00:33:32.080 --> 00:33:33.679 when you go home you how are you going 00:33:33.679 --> 00:33:35.159 to tell your 00:33:35.159 --> 00:33:38.600 husband what we did this weekend and it 00:33:38.600 --> 00:33:41.120 was like everyone would laugh because 00:33:41.120 --> 00:33:43.600 they didn't know how to talk about what 00:33:43.600 --> 00:33:46.600 we were doing so um I don't know if 00:33:46.600 --> 00:33:48.519 anybody else has 00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:50.320 been sort 00:33:50.320 --> 00:33:53.320 of 00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:58.799 um more successful in that um but part 00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:01.799 of the problem or part of the good thing 00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:04.840 is you know we start by being very 00:34:04.840 --> 00:34:07.919 rigorous and um that's hard to 00:34:07.919 --> 00:34:09.599 encapsulate 00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:12.000 so 00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:15.440 um so part of developing a community is 00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.720 the way language 00:34:17.720 --> 00:34:19.399 becomes 00:34:19.399 --> 00:34:21.599 um it doesn't necessarily become 00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:23.520 specialized because we have funny words 00:34:23.520 --> 00:34:25.800 that are little words but the meaning 00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:30.399 becomes specialized and precise and um 00:34:30.399 --> 00:34:33.040 that's so that's one thing and it's also 00:34:33.040 --> 00:34:35.399 a reason why you know Jonathan Ron's 00:34:35.399 --> 00:34:37.119 been good good because he's been bugging 00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:39.040 me to write a book for like five years 00:34:39.040 --> 00:34:44.560 now and he's persistent but not pushy um 00:34:44.560 --> 00:34:46.800 but 00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:50.399 um the book if it's successful should do 00:34:50.399 --> 00:34:52.240 just that and then people that really 00:34:52.240 --> 00:34:53.240 know what it 00:34:53.240 --> 00:34:55.440 means you know you have something well 00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:57.920 this is you know you have like 00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:00.200 something but obviously I'm not going to 00:35:00.200 --> 00:35:02.640 go through and start 00:35:02.640 --> 00:35:06.200 defining uh this is what uh Gaffney and 00:35:06.200 --> 00:35:08.160 Stein are doing their book starts with 00:35:08.160 --> 00:35:10.839 like definitions intimacy equals 00:35:10.839 --> 00:35:14.079 identity times I don't know times this 00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:17.200 divided by that you know and I'm not 00:35:17.200 --> 00:35:20.440 going to do that 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:25.040 so I don't know 00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:29.400 um I think it gives you skills you know 00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:31.680 that are transferable but to actually 00:35:31.680 --> 00:35:35.160 talk about what we're doing is is even 00:35:35.160 --> 00:35:37.520 when we're talking like talking about 00:35:37.520 --> 00:35:39.480 the origin story this is kind of 00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:40.760 ephemeral we don't even know what we're 00:35:40.760 --> 00:35:42.720 talking about but even the the the 00:35:42.720 --> 00:35:44.520 modules where we know exactly what we're 00:35:44.520 --> 00:35:46.880 talking about like affect versus emotion 00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:49.480 and dispositional state even those are 00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:51.040 hard 00:35:51.040 --> 00:35:54.040 to to 00:35:54.040 --> 00:35:58.160 um just just talk about but I want to I 00:35:58.160 --> 00:36:01.119 want to say something because I thought 00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:03.800 it was really nice to see and that is 00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:05.680 well I had this horse workshop and Aaron 00:36:05.680 --> 00:36:07.319 was 00:36:07.319 --> 00:36:11.960 here and uh to help me but also you know 00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:13.560 we we start I knew the group was going 00:36:13.560 --> 00:36:16.319 to be like take forever to get organized 00:36:16.319 --> 00:36:18.520 in the morning so we were down there we 00:36:18.520 --> 00:36:21.800 were doing some movement exercises and 00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:25.520 at first uh what were we doing 00:36:25.520 --> 00:36:29.079 um my brain is not so good so we were we 00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:31.200 were we 00:36:31.200 --> 00:36:34.520 were doing something but then he 00:36:34.520 --> 00:36:37.800 realized that people were doing he he he 00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:38.920 knew we were going to do the horse 00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:40.240 workshop and he knew that people were 00:36:40.240 --> 00:36:42.040 doing like these exercises to get their 00:36:42.040 --> 00:36:43.880 bodies moving but they were closing 00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:47.119 their eyes and they were going in and so 00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:50.000 he he he then he modified it I don't 00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:51.680 know if he had done this before and he 00:36:51.680 --> 00:36:54.520 modified it now point to something and 00:36:54.520 --> 00:36:57.200 go there and look at it and so basically 00:36:57.200 --> 00:37:00.040 he created the here there posture 00:37:00.040 --> 00:37:01.480 because when you work with the horses 00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:03.800 you want to be listening to your body 00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:07.119 but you want to be present and so that 00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:10.079 was great because this is the way the 00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:12.079 work gets translated you know it didn't 00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.119 say okay there are four posters and 00:37:14.119 --> 00:37:16.280 there imposture you know blah blah blah 00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:19.400 blah blah blah blah blah blah like I do 00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:22.800 um and it was very effective and he and 00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:24.839 he and we didn't even debrief afterwards 00:37:24.839 --> 00:37:27.920 you know it was just 00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:31.160 engaging in you know just implementing 00:37:31.160 --> 00:37:34.640 whatever you find useful but yeah um 00:37:34.640 --> 00:37:37.520 writing about it or rewriting about it 00:37:37.520 --> 00:37:39.040 or 00:37:39.040 --> 00:37:42.119 uh I F I understand that it's always 00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:48.160 it's always it's always been the case 00:37:48.920 --> 00:37:51.680 um then I told Katie when I saw my 00:37:51.680 --> 00:37:53.680 animism film I hate watching myself on 00:37:53.680 --> 00:37:56.240 video I'm like I talk like a child like 00:37:56.240 --> 00:37:59.040 a baby and I'm saying these like like 00:37:59.040 --> 00:38:01.119 really profound things and I why can't I 00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:03.319 just put sentences together like Zack 00:38:03.319 --> 00:38:06.200 Stein or Daniel schanberg I'm like I 00:38:06.200 --> 00:38:08.520 talk like a baby like what the I don't 00:38:08.520 --> 00:38:11.520 even it's 00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:19.680 weird oh I don't know it all makes sense 00:38:19.680 --> 00:38:24.160 uh but that was a good question and 00:38:24.160 --> 00:38:27.480 explaining what we're doing here is 00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:31.200 difficult uh but it's like my creation 00:38:31.200 --> 00:38:33.400 story or my 00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:36.560 narrative I think fits into what you're 00:38:36.560 --> 00:38:38.800 doing at that bigger outer picture and 00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:40.319 that's one reason I wanted to get into 00:38:40.319 --> 00:38:43.480 some of the physicality of it next year 00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:45.760 but and that's it's like uh Justin when 00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:48.319 he said you know came from a star well 00:38:48.319 --> 00:38:51.760 if it did happen to come from a big bang 00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:53.680 you know we were all in that big bang 00:38:53.680 --> 00:38:55.920 and then it all expanded out into all 00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:59.280 that is was or ever will be but within 00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:00.400 that big 00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:03.680 bang um we were all connected so we were 00:39:03.680 --> 00:39:05.760 all entangled at one time so that's part 00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:06.560 of 00:39:06.560 --> 00:39:09.720 the creation story let's say if that 00:39:09.720 --> 00:39:12.079 what did didn't happen but anyway you're 00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:14.200 in this Outer Circle along with the stoa 00:39:14.200 --> 00:39:17.760 and P perspectiva and rebel 00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:21.240 wisdom you know and we're down here 00:39:21.240 --> 00:39:23.599 trying to figure out how we all fit into 00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:25.440 that that bigger Circle to solve the 00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:27.520 problems of the world but that's where 00:39:27.520 --> 00:39:30.040 I'm coming from and that's why I I want 00:39:30.040 --> 00:39:32.240 to work within my narrative and 00:39:32.240 --> 00:39:36.560 then we are the big picture somehow we 00:39:36.560 --> 00:39:41.119 are the Outer Circle um yeah so so yeah 00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:43.960 we are the Outer Circle 00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:47.480 um yeah so all of that is s the same 00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:50.480 question you know we we move 00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:53.319 around it's now it's reminding me of the 00:39:53.319 --> 00:39:56.079 Big Bang like there's the stoes body and 00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:58.160 space and rebel wisdom is a body in 00:39:58.160 --> 00:40:01.240 space and the p and all these these 00:40:01.240 --> 00:40:03.920 these bodies are in orbit and the 00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:07.400 question is what are they in orbit 00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:10.119 around uh you know Cheryl Shu would say 00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:11.119 a black 00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:16.319 hole um and and that and 00:40:16.319 --> 00:40:19.920 there's yeah what do they in orbit 00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:24.200 around um so 00:40:24.200 --> 00:40:27.119 um you know there're on orbit around 00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:30.640 something exactly you see 00:40:30.640 --> 00:40:34.319 that that's not a shirt that's his 00:40:34.319 --> 00:40:36.000 body 00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:38.359 um there're they're an orbit around 00:40:38.359 --> 00:40:39.960 something that's there and not there at 00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:44.440 the same time you know um so that goes 00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.599 back to this notion of having a hit of 00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:49.280 there's something there uh but it's not 00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:51.720 there at the same time it's there 00:40:51.720 --> 00:40:54.000 because these things are 00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:56.319 orbiting around each other or wob 00:40:56.319 --> 00:40:58.520 wobbling I would say more like wobbling 00:40:58.520 --> 00:41:03.160 in orbit around each other 00:41:08.640 --> 00:41:10.960 um one of the thoughts I've been having 00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:13.480 as as this has been occurring this this 00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:15.440 conversation 00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:19.200 is about language like if I was a Bard 00:41:19.200 --> 00:41:22.359 and I was to tell an origin story how 00:41:22.359 --> 00:41:23.599 would I 00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:26.599 begin um in the beginning doesn't seem 00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:30.560 like a good beginning for some reason 00:41:30.560 --> 00:41:33.280 so the classic beginning for a good 00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:36.160 story is once upon a time once upon a 00:41:36.160 --> 00:41:38.599 time seems like a much better beginning 00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:40.599 because once upon a time has once inside 00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:42.800 of a time once outside of a time once 00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:45.240 when time was different than time is now 00:41:45.240 --> 00:41:48.800 once right now once upon a 00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:50.760 time there 00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:54.319 was a Once Upon a Time Time became aware 00:41:54.319 --> 00:41:57.200 of itself and wondered what the is 00:41:57.200 --> 00:42:00.160 this all about and that's kind of like 00:42:00.160 --> 00:42:03.240 a a thing that generates 00:42:03.240 --> 00:42:05.800 heat and that 00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:08.359 heat is like an 00:42:08.359 --> 00:42:12.000 enclosure and that 00:42:12.160 --> 00:42:15.640 enclosure met other enclosures 00:42:15.640 --> 00:42:17.800 and I don't know there there's something 00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:20.960 about um what I'm trying to get at is 00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:23.200 the Big Bang is something that happened 00:42:23.200 --> 00:42:26.640 long ago versus the felt sense of like 00:42:26.640 --> 00:42:29.000 what the is this 00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:31.640 about that's the origin of something 00:42:31.640 --> 00:42:33.680 that's the origin of like a thought 00:42:33.680 --> 00:42:35.800 something is born in me some kind 00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:39.480 of maybe that's the origin of everything 00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:42.280 this kind of 00:42:42.520 --> 00:42:44.520 huh what I'm trying to get at is like 00:42:44.520 --> 00:42:47.599 the embodied feeling of of beginning 00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:49.000 what does it actually feel like for 00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:52.000 something to begin fresh and new in me 00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:53.960 and maybe that's what it felt 00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:56.880 like in the beginning of the beginning 00:42:56.880 --> 00:42:59.559 once upon a 00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:02.800 time that was fun to say no that was 00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:05.599 great so a big part one big section is 00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:08.040 this notion of we're born in the 00:43:08.040 --> 00:43:10.400 middle we weren't born when it started 00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:12.240 we're not born when it's finished and 00:43:12.240 --> 00:43:13.839 we're born in the middle and we asked 00:43:13.839 --> 00:43:17.880 these questions right and this already 00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:19.880 conditions us plac us in contigent time 00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:23.680 and space blah blah blah blah blah and 00:43:23.680 --> 00:43:28.079 um is there a portal 00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:31.640 yeah is there a portal 00:43:31.640 --> 00:43:35.119 to um yeah is it a is yeah we're born in 00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:38.119 the middle we're just born in the middle 00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:41.359 um in we're born in the middle of our 00:43:41.359 --> 00:43:43.680 lifetime we're born in the middle of our 00:43:43.680 --> 00:43:45.520 cultural lifespan we're born in the 00:43:45.520 --> 00:43:48.720 middle of the planetary Journey we're 00:43:48.720 --> 00:43:52.440 born in the middle of the cosmog genetic 00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:57.960 uh and nobody's ever born at one end or 00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:00.400 at the other end everything when you 00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:01.520 look 00:44:01.520 --> 00:44:04.000 at when you look at 00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:07.880 the photograph of the known universe and 00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:10.000 the it looks like a big eyeball and out 00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:12.800 here is the big bang and the closer you 00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:15.520 get you start to see you know plasma and 00:44:15.520 --> 00:44:17.599 then you see electrons and galaxies and 00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:19.240 then you see heavy metals and then you 00:44:19.240 --> 00:44:21.880 see planets area and then you see and 00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:23.640 here you are in the middle everybody 00:44:23.640 --> 00:44:26.720 it's like a it's not we think of it as a 00:44:26.720 --> 00:44:29.640 sphere did I say this already here or 00:44:29.640 --> 00:44:31.760 did I say this the other cour class this 00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:33.559 is not good for my brain we think of it 00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:36.079 as a sphere and if a if you're inside of 00:44:36.079 --> 00:44:39.079 a of a balloon some people could be 00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:40.920 closer to the edge of the balloon than 00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:44.240 other people but in the universe every 00:44:44.240 --> 00:44:47.599 single perspective in the known universe 00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:49.520 is still in the middle of the universe 00:44:49.520 --> 00:44:51.760 so that's 00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:56.760 weird and um so if you you think about 00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:59.240 that that means time and space is 00:44:59.240 --> 00:45:02.599 emanating from every individual 00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:05.440 perspective which is the notion of the 00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:07.800 Big Bang the singular perspective from 00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:12.000 which everything always emanated from so 00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:13.559 that's recreated that's what I would 00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:15.079 call the pure abstraction called the 00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:18.440 self that reality eminates from a 00:45:18.440 --> 00:45:20.160 certain 00:45:20.160 --> 00:45:24.480 perspective and that perspective gets 00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:27.240 compounded of but not chopped up just 00:45:27.240 --> 00:45:28.800 the same way in 00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:31.680 amoeba the first amoeba is still here 00:45:31.680 --> 00:45:33.920 but you know there's seven billion 00:45:33.920 --> 00:45:36.040 amoeba and every amoeba is not one 00:45:36.040 --> 00:45:38.160 billionth of the size of the first 00:45:38.160 --> 00:45:40.680 amibas and get it it gets distributed 00:45:40.680 --> 00:45:43.200 but not chopped up so that's one way to 00:45:43.200 --> 00:45:49.119 think about it and um and if you again 00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:51.559 think of that picture and everything 00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:54.559 everything from this 00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:57.040 perspective from every 00:45:57.040 --> 00:45:59.280 perspective in every direction you can 00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:01.400 see 00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:04.720 is time and space emanating from the 00:46:04.720 --> 00:46:07.240 present to the Past then I can say well 00:46:07.240 --> 00:46:09.599 where's 00:46:11.200 --> 00:46:13.960 tomorrow then that has to kind 00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:17.680 of generate from its perspective A New 00:46:17.680 --> 00:46:20.000 Perspective so we're we're always kind 00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:23.200 of receding into tomorrow while more and 00:46:23.200 --> 00:46:27.319 more of this so from a perspect 00:46:27.319 --> 00:46:30.319 uh and these These are popular popular 00:46:30.319 --> 00:46:32.599 uh origin stories this notion 00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:35.760 of you know singular perspectives that 00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:39.720 are all at the center they're all 00:46:39.720 --> 00:46:41.359 centers 00:46:41.359 --> 00:46:44.240 um that's that's in line with I think 00:46:44.240 --> 00:46:46.839 some of the things Justin is saying uh 00:46:46.839 --> 00:46:50.319 or or ints it's not the same same thing 00:46:50.319 --> 00:46:55.480 but it has more of the interiority or 00:46:55.480 --> 00:46:58.000 and the metaphysics of experience is 00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:00.559 experience happens for someone that the 00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:02.920 central Nexus of 00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:05.920 experience 00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:10.839 poly yeah I'm glad you mentioned um 00:47:10.839 --> 00:47:13.680 talking like or like a baby because um 00:47:13.680 --> 00:47:15.720 this past week I've been sorry there's 00:47:15.720 --> 00:47:17.160 an echo here 00:47:17.160 --> 00:47:20.880 second that's better um so I've been 00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:24.079 around this infant and just noticing how 00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:29.280 he's um engaged with the world and 00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:33.800 um um that's great thank you 00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:37.480 um yeah and so you know he he cries and 00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:40.160 and and you know um the things that 00:47:40.160 --> 00:47:44.480 soothe him are actually this sh like 00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:46.599 this and you know I was just thinking 00:47:46.599 --> 00:47:48.359 this this little being has been so close 00:47:48.359 --> 00:47:50.240 to the source you know so what is what 00:47:50.240 --> 00:47:53.559 is he seeing what is he remembering and 00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:55.520 and it kind of you know as that sh was 00:47:55.520 --> 00:47:57.800 Happ and he was calming down and he he 00:47:57.800 --> 00:47:59.760 really loves like the white the fan on 00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:02.640 the oven um I was like oh my gosh is 00:48:02.640 --> 00:48:04.920 that the origin story you know maybe 00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:08.160 maybe the origin story isn't so much a 00:48:08.160 --> 00:48:10.680 story but maybe it's a sound or and and 00:48:10.680 --> 00:48:12.760 then I was thinking that 00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:15.920 sh like what that does to my body and 00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:18.599 then in nature that sound mimics you 00:48:18.599 --> 00:48:21.359 know wind blowing or the ocean moving 00:48:21.359 --> 00:48:23.720 and now it's really beautiful if I hear 00:48:23.720 --> 00:48:25.319 those sounds it's like that's the origin 00:48:25.319 --> 00:48:28.200 story calling calling me back so I was 00:48:28.200 --> 00:48:29.520 just thinking about the origin story 00:48:29.520 --> 00:48:33.319 being maybe a song or a sound 00:48:34.680 --> 00:48:38.960 too well that's the M right uh that the 00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:42.520 the origin is a vibration so you do 00:48:42.520 --> 00:48:44.400 these these chants where you're not 00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:46.160 actually singing You're vibrating your 00:48:46.160 --> 00:48:50.400 body uh to experience um yeah that's 00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:51.799 that's part of it Claudia you had your 00:48:51.799 --> 00:48:53.359 hand up a while ago did you want to say 00:48:53.359 --> 00:48:56.520 something uh yeah I'm not sure 00:48:56.520 --> 00:48:58.920 um you just stopped me on is there a 00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:01.799 tomorrow um you know and I don't think 00:49:01.799 --> 00:49:03.400 there is I don't think I don't think 00:49:03.400 --> 00:49:07.200 there is a future you know in in time I 00:49:07.200 --> 00:49:08.839 can never find 00:49:08.839 --> 00:49:11.319 it there's just the 00:49:11.319 --> 00:49:14.319 next breath right and the breath seems 00:49:14.319 --> 00:49:17.319 right on the edge of absolutely 00:49:17.319 --> 00:49:19.280 nothing 00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:22.079 um so edges come up for me when I think 00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:24.440 about Origins because it just seems kind 00:49:24.440 --> 00:49:26.040 of weirdly prar 00:49:26.040 --> 00:49:29.400 ious but then every time a miracle you 00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:32.760 know that that the impulse comes and we 00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:33.680 breathe 00:49:33.680 --> 00:49:36.240 again so the origin just seems so 00:49:36.240 --> 00:49:39.760 present in in you know like this this 00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:41.920 kind of idea of generative you know that 00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:45.760 we started a long time ago talking 00:49:45.839 --> 00:49:49.240 about um I feel really like right on the 00:49:49.240 --> 00:49:50.920 edge of something that's just endlessly 00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:52.680 releasing but then I'm realizing this 00:49:52.680 --> 00:49:54.760 isn't an origin story because a good 00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:56.799 story right is isn't about necessarily 00:49:56.799 --> 00:50:00.000 yourself is it really it's 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.200 about sort of something 00:50:20.040 --> 00:50:23.280 bigger that's 00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:27.440 it 00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:33.160 I love the pregnant pores but you 00:50:33.160 --> 00:50:35.640 know yeah maybe that's it it's a 00:50:35.640 --> 00:50:38.079 pregnant 00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:57.440 pause 00:51:14.160 --> 00:51:15.839 I think I brought this up oh can you 00:51:15.839 --> 00:51:18.000 hear 00:51:18.119 --> 00:51:23.599 me I think I brought this up last time 00:51:24.359 --> 00:51:26.559 um still I don't think I understand what 00:51:26.559 --> 00:51:28.680 we're going for 00:51:28.680 --> 00:51:30.640 here 00:51:30.640 --> 00:51:35.559 um but one thing that I think I think 00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:40.880 of is like reality like that question we 00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:41.799 tried to 00:51:41.799 --> 00:51:44.559 answer a few days or weeks ago or 00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:48.400 whatever was like what is reality um I 00:51:48.400 --> 00:51:51.599 don't know for me that's 00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:56.319 always something and maybe like 00:51:56.319 --> 00:51:58.480 the origin story is like sort of like 00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:02.040 almost like for like answering that 00:52:02.040 --> 00:52:04.720 question maybe it sort of 00:52:04.720 --> 00:52:09.599 pops into an answer or something like 00:52:10.079 --> 00:52:11.599 that 00:52:11.599 --> 00:52:14.599 yeah 00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:26.520 it 00:52:26.520 --> 00:52:29.240 Kevin and 00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:43.760 Steve sorry had to find my mouse on the 00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:46.280 big screen 00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:48.799 um yeah I have a bunch of notes written 00:52:48.799 --> 00:52:51.240 down this kind of like idea I've been 00:52:51.240 --> 00:52:52.359 working 00:52:52.359 --> 00:52:56.160 with um so who just just spoke with 00:52:56.160 --> 00:52:57.880 Matthew just asked about like what is 00:52:57.880 --> 00:53:00.280 reality and earlier someone was talking 00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:04.200 about um simulations so like the mind 00:53:04.200 --> 00:53:05.839 creates simulations you know that kind 00:53:05.839 --> 00:53:08.280 of evokes like computer 00:53:08.280 --> 00:53:13.240 simulations um like maybe a simulation 00:53:13.240 --> 00:53:15.200 of the Big Bang or 00:53:15.200 --> 00:53:19.079 like um but what is a simulation it's 00:53:19.079 --> 00:53:20.720 like if you think of Conway's Game of 00:53:20.720 --> 00:53:22.040 Life that's kind of a really simple 00:53:22.040 --> 00:53:25.359 simulation you have like your original 00:53:25.359 --> 00:53:28.160 like starting condition you have your 00:53:28.160 --> 00:53:30.720 origin right and then you have like the 00:53:30.720 --> 00:53:33.680 rules of evolution so like conways game 00:53:33.680 --> 00:53:36.760 of life it kind of progresses you know 00:53:36.760 --> 00:53:38.079 based on 00:53:38.079 --> 00:53:42.760 rules and um these origin stories you 00:53:42.760 --> 00:53:43.760 know they're always embedded in the 00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:45.839 context and I've been I've been flirting 00:53:45.839 --> 00:53:49.960 with this idea of like uh An Origin 00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:52.720 story that involves or maybe not it's 00:53:52.720 --> 00:53:54.200 not really an origin story but like 00:53:54.200 --> 00:53:58.480 working with real reality shows so like 00:53:58.480 --> 00:54:00.079 like you got Survivor you know the 00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:02.520 bachelor like whatever and think about 00:54:02.520 --> 00:54:06.000 it they all have like an an origin story 00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:10.960 so like when um who was it uh when I 00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:12.599 forget your name when you brought up the 00:54:12.599 --> 00:54:14.440 idea like in the beginning or once upon 00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:16.559 a time like I immediately went and I 00:54:16.559 --> 00:54:18.520 looked up like the tagline for the MTV 00:54:18.520 --> 00:54:20.960 show the real world and it's like this 00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:23.480 is the true story of seven strangers 00:54:23.480 --> 00:54:25.160 picked to live in a house and have their 00:54:25.160 --> 00:54:27.160 lives taped to find out what happens 00:54:27.160 --> 00:54:29.520 when people stop being polite and start 00:54:29.520 --> 00:54:31.720 getting real like that sounds like a 00:54:31.720 --> 00:54:35.559 Greek myth to me like and like so think 00:54:35.559 --> 00:54:37.079 about like what a reality show is it's 00:54:37.079 --> 00:54:40.319 essentially so think about like um the 00:54:40.319 --> 00:54:42.160 physics the Big Bang that's kind of like 00:54:42.160 --> 00:54:45.480 built on the discoveries of like 00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:47.160 physical science but then there's like 00:54:47.160 --> 00:54:49.240 physical science experiments physics 00:54:49.240 --> 00:54:50.680 then there's also social science and 00:54:50.680 --> 00:54:52.599 like each social science experiment is 00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:53.839 kind of like a simulation of human 00:54:53.839 --> 00:54:55.960 behavior where they're setting up like 00:54:55.960 --> 00:54:57.680 initial conditions based on some 00:54:57.680 --> 00:55:00.680 Assumption of like The Human Experience 00:55:00.680 --> 00:55:01.960 and that's what reality shows do too 00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:03.480 they're like setting up these initial 00:55:03.480 --> 00:55:05.359 constraints based on these assumptions 00:55:05.359 --> 00:55:06.720 and they all kind of tell a story it's 00:55:06.720 --> 00:55:09.839 like how do people compete 00:55:09.839 --> 00:55:14.040 survive uh find love work together you 00:55:14.040 --> 00:55:15.720 know they're kind of like working with 00:55:15.720 --> 00:55:18.160 these conditions and and I what I what I 00:55:18.160 --> 00:55:20.400 like about that um my last part of this 00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:23.359 is like it's the the phrase itself 00:55:23.359 --> 00:55:25.119 reality show is so funny because it 00:55:25.119 --> 00:55:26.920 almost contains a cont contradiction 00:55:26.920 --> 00:55:29.640 where it's like it's reality but it's a 00:55:29.640 --> 00:55:32.000 show it's reality but it's but it's a 00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:34.599 show and like that's kind of like what 00:55:34.599 --> 00:55:35.799 language feels like sometimes it's like 00:55:35.799 --> 00:55:37.079 it's pointing to reality but it's also 00:55:37.079 --> 00:55:38.400 like it's a show it's like a simulation 00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:41.240 it's not real so that's that's my take 00:55:41.240 --> 00:55:43.599 thanks for 00:55:53.359 --> 00:55:56.680 listening Steve 00:55:56.680 --> 00:55:58.880 thanks yeah I might follow on a little 00:55:58.880 --> 00:56:01.760 bit from both Claudia and Kevin there um 00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:04.079 maybe different kind of ways but I've 00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:05.440 got a kind of meta question which is I'm 00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:09.000 kind of thinking about the origins at 00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:10.280 all if you know what I mean like like 00:56:10.280 --> 00:56:11.720 why do we need Origins at all why do we 00:56:11.720 --> 00:56:14.599 need alphas and omegas um and it feels a 00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:16.559 little bit like in terms of the reality 00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:19.920 show um it's almost like you're framing 00:56:19.920 --> 00:56:22.960 almost like a a go of life rather than 00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:24.599 the life you're living it's almost like 00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:26.240 when you start talking about alphas and 00:56:26.240 --> 00:56:27.520 omegas it's almost like you're talking 00:56:27.520 --> 00:56:29.760 about this paral parallel life to the 00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:31.760 one you're actually living which is this 00:56:31.760 --> 00:56:35.400 kind of um imagined show of life if you 00:56:35.400 --> 00:56:37.359 know what I mean rather than the flow of 00:56:37.359 --> 00:56:39.240 rather than the flow of life and that 00:56:39.240 --> 00:56:41.319 the flow of life doesn't really need 00:56:41.319 --> 00:56:44.520 alphas and omegas it you know it's we've 00:56:44.520 --> 00:56:46.280 never experienced Alpha and Omega really 00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:48.079 other than you know we were not even 00:56:48.079 --> 00:56:50.160 conscious of our own birth we won't 00:56:50.160 --> 00:56:51.720 necessarily be that conscious of Our Own 00:56:51.720 --> 00:56:54.079 Death so it you know our lives aren't 00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:57.160 really made up about and omegas and so I 00:56:57.160 --> 00:56:59.440 kind of want and I also wonder why I 00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:02.200 know lots of people like I know um gram 00:57:02.200 --> 00:57:04.079 gr Brendon Dempsey is is trying to 00:57:04.079 --> 00:57:06.039 create this new Alpha Omega myth and 00:57:06.039 --> 00:57:07.119 things like that and I just feel 00:57:07.119 --> 00:57:09.520 everyone's barking up their own because 00:57:09.520 --> 00:57:11.599 I think maybe the problem is that 00:57:11.599 --> 00:57:13.839 framing I think maybe that's you know 00:57:13.839 --> 00:57:15.960 and it's like um also with the utopic 00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:18.039 thinking that then just becomes a kind 00:57:18.039 --> 00:57:21.119 of con constant deferral into the future 00:57:21.119 --> 00:57:23.200 when really you want Utopia now you know 00:57:23.200 --> 00:57:26.760 you want you want you want right now so 00:57:26.760 --> 00:57:28.640 yeah so I've got a problem at a meta 00:57:28.640 --> 00:57:30.200 level with just the overall framing of 00:57:30.200 --> 00:57:32.559 Alpha and 00:57:33.240 --> 00:57:36.359 Omega okay so this is very good because 00:57:36.359 --> 00:57:41.039 I was I was I was I 00:57:41.160 --> 00:57:44.160 was 00:57:44.640 --> 00:57:48.920 um got a problem with language 00:57:49.559 --> 00:57:52.599 BL um where'd you go where's Steve on my 00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:55.000 screen did he drop out oh there he is 00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:56.839 okay because when you raise your hand 00:57:56.839 --> 00:58:00.400 you're up there and then and okay so 00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:02.200 what's happening here like one of the 00:58:02.200 --> 00:58:05.240 things I did talk about like in the book 00:58:05.240 --> 00:58:07.760 is the origin story will frame it with 00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:09.799 like all these epistemic constraints a 00:58:09.799 --> 00:58:11.480 big one is just time why should 00:58:11.480 --> 00:58:15.680 something have a beginning like and that 00:58:15.680 --> 00:58:20.960 as modern or uh so I'm going to start 00:58:20.960 --> 00:58:23.559 with that this notion is your first uh 00:58:23.559 --> 00:58:26.000 see that we don't have origin story that 00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:29.319 seems weird blah blah blah blah um the 00:58:29.319 --> 00:58:31.359 book is called The Once and Future God 00:58:31.359 --> 00:58:33.839 so it places it in a temporal uh 00:58:33.839 --> 00:58:37.400 framework because but then the first 00:58:37.400 --> 00:58:41.480 part is just to highlight because it's a 00:58:41.480 --> 00:58:43.200 metaphysics of experience so I'm 00:58:43.200 --> 00:58:45.280 highlighting the experience of coming to 00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:48.119 terms with an origin story but I also 00:58:48.119 --> 00:58:49.839 have this list I'm not going to do it 00:58:49.839 --> 00:58:51.200 this 00:58:51.200 --> 00:58:55.640 formally but um there's this book that I 00:58:55.640 --> 00:58:58.400 wrote I that the review of which won the 00:58:58.400 --> 00:59:01.640 astral codex 10 book review award it's 00:59:01.640 --> 00:59:04.559 called the educated mind I have the book 00:59:04.559 --> 00:59:07.240 he just basically takes Merlin Donald's 00:59:07.240 --> 00:59:08.839 work which I taught for years in the 00:59:08.839 --> 00:59:10.480 Master's course and applies it to 00:59:10.480 --> 00:59:14.119 education but you could he says that uh 00:59:14.119 --> 00:59:16.839 throughout history we've developed these 00:59:16.839 --> 00:59:19.880 different skills of how we learn and 00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:22.319 that the child goes through these phases 00:59:22.319 --> 00:59:24.839 which recapitulates it so first there 00:59:24.839 --> 00:59:29.720 somatic or mimetic that we just uh um so 00:59:29.720 --> 00:59:31.720 this is kind of like if you it's like if 00:59:31.720 --> 00:59:34.160 you're telling an origin story it's kind 00:59:34.160 --> 00:59:36.960 of like why do you cook you know why do 00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:38.640 you cook hamburgers that way because my 00:59:38.640 --> 00:59:40.880 mother always did you know like it goes 00:59:40.880 --> 00:59:43.119 it's just a mimic story and then there's 00:59:43.119 --> 00:59:44.160 the 00:59:44.160 --> 00:59:47.559 Mythic story which um you have to be 00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:51.720 clever because some of these uh some of 00:59:51.720 --> 00:59:55.680 these mythic stories seem sound their 00:59:55.680 --> 00:59:58.039 signifiers sound theoretic but they're 00:59:58.039 --> 01:00:00.760 actually Mythic um and then you get the 01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:03.400 Romantic stories which are narrative and 01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:08.599 these are more like um gossip right like 01:00:08.599 --> 01:00:11.960 gossipy stories um and then you get the 01:00:11.960 --> 01:00:13.720 philosophic and theoretic and then you 01:00:13.720 --> 01:00:15.520 get the what you just proposed was the 01:00:15.520 --> 01:00:17.839 ironic or The Meta aware you go and you 01:00:17.839 --> 01:00:20.480 say wow there's epic constraints why are 01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:24.359 we doing this at all um so you can see 01:00:24.359 --> 01:00:26.319 people will track you know touching base 01:00:26.319 --> 01:00:28.680 in these different portals but then it's 01:00:28.680 --> 01:00:30.880 not in the book but I am going to 01:00:30.880 --> 01:00:34.280 propose that there's a six uh that 01:00:34.280 --> 01:00:35.599 there's a 01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:41.839 six um way that you can see uh becoming 01:00:41.839 --> 01:00:43.799 to that you can see in places which is 01:00:43.799 --> 01:00:48.720 what Jan zi calls the lyric so it's a 01:00:48.720 --> 01:00:52.200 wear it's a wear like the ironic but it 01:00:52.200 --> 01:00:55.440 overcomes the limitations of just 01:00:55.440 --> 01:00:59.039 um it's like you're aware of the magic 01:00:59.039 --> 01:01:01.240 trick but you still want to believe in 01:01:01.240 --> 01:01:03.039 the magic whereas the ironic you can't 01:01:03.039 --> 01:01:05.400 enjoy the magic trick right because it 01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:08.119 knows how it's done there's there's a 01:01:08.119 --> 01:01:13.079 move there um that is 01:01:13.079 --> 01:01:16.880 completely aware 01:01:16.880 --> 01:01:19.920 that putting things in temporal temporal 01:01:19.920 --> 01:01:23.880 framework is already a bogus thing or 01:01:23.880 --> 01:01:25.799 creating a narative Arc is already a 01:01:25.799 --> 01:01:27.960 bogus thing all these things are already 01:01:27.960 --> 01:01:32.400 bogus and yet so that that's that's 01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:35.720 uh something I that's go ahead yeah is 01:01:35.720 --> 01:01:37.720 that close to ironic sincerity because 01:01:37.720 --> 01:01:39.240 that's that's that's a thing that you 01:01:39.240 --> 01:01:41.119 coming up in the metamod which I really 01:01:41.119 --> 01:01:43.359 like it to be almost like the best idea 01:01:43.359 --> 01:01:46.039 in the whole thing really I would say 01:01:46.039 --> 01:01:48.240 it's that ironic sincerity is still a 01:01:48.240 --> 01:01:51.039 little too ironic but the sincerity 01:01:51.039 --> 01:01:53.160 obviously sounds like it's moving in the 01:01:53.160 --> 01:01:56.520 other way um one of the things that the 01:01:56.520 --> 01:02:01.880 lyric does is it it moves it says at 01:02:01.880 --> 01:02:05.760 scale these big big 01:02:05.920 --> 01:02:09.119 questions they only it only deserves 01:02:09.119 --> 01:02:12.520 irony but I can look at the particular 01:02:12.520 --> 01:02:14.200 how the tree what's the origin of the 01:02:14.200 --> 01:02:16.279 tree what's the origin of my breath 01:02:16.279 --> 01:02:19.599 what's the origin of this and somehow 01:02:19.599 --> 01:02:22.440 those hang together it's a family of 01:02:22.440 --> 01:02:24.440 things that hang together and I may 01:02:24.440 --> 01:02:26.400 never be able to articulate then what 01:02:26.400 --> 01:02:28.799 origin is but I've become closer to An 01:02:28.799 --> 01:02:32.680 Origin story inside myself so so I don't 01:02:32.680 --> 01:02:34.319 think that's the move the ironists make 01:02:34.319 --> 01:02:35.680 because they're too they're too meta 01:02:35.680 --> 01:02:37.920 aware and even if they get sincere you 01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:39.720 have someone like Brendan Graham Dempsey 01:02:39.720 --> 01:02:43.079 who just tries to think bigger um 01:02:43.079 --> 01:02:46.000 whereas the lyric move is is like the 01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:49.319 Blake the poet what's his name William 01:02:49.319 --> 01:02:52.480 Blake and if I if I look at all these 01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:54.960 particulars somehow I see there's 01:02:54.960 --> 01:02:57.839 something about them her her phrase is 01:02:57.839 --> 01:03:00.440 they're like families they hang 01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:03.720 together and I walk away feeling 01:03:03.720 --> 01:03:08.920 that I've grounded in An Origin story or 01:03:08.920 --> 01:03:11.480 An Origin understanding of origin and 01:03:11.480 --> 01:03:14.240 yet if I then go and try to articulate 01:03:14.240 --> 01:03:16.680 it I come I bump up against these 01:03:16.680 --> 01:03:19.920 epistemic constraints so I'm going to 01:03:19.920 --> 01:03:21.720 start with the epistemic constraints 01:03:21.720 --> 01:03:24.599 because because this is the audience to 01:03:24.599 --> 01:03:27.480 the metamodern you know and they're 01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:30.319 that's exactly what they're gonna like 01:03:30.319 --> 01:03:32.119 why is she even trying to tell an origin 01:03:32.119 --> 01:03:35.359 story right and and also because the 01:03:35.359 --> 01:03:36.920 book is trying to be grounded in the 01:03:36.920 --> 01:03:39.279 metaphysics of experience so while I'm 01:03:39.279 --> 01:03:40.839 doing this I'm wondering okay let me 01:03:40.839 --> 01:03:43.640 tell you my experience of doing this so 01:03:43.640 --> 01:03:48.720 uh uh yeah that that I think right now 01:03:48.720 --> 01:03:50.279 when I look at my outline that's the 01:03:50.279 --> 01:03:51.920 first that's the first thing it said 01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:55.880 epistemic constraints and 01:03:55.880 --> 01:03:58.839 um then it might follow a little bit of 01:03:58.839 --> 01:04:01.279 that somatic Mythic but I'm not going to 01:04:01.279 --> 01:04:02.680 sit there and label them because it's 01:04:02.680 --> 01:04:05.559 kind of bogus in a way but kind of weave 01:04:05.559 --> 01:04:08.359 in these different perspectives and then 01:04:08.359 --> 01:04:11.119 um yeah and then 01:04:11.119 --> 01:04:13.799 uh yeah so something so something like 01:04:13.799 --> 01:04:16.880 that will happen so so it's not like 01:04:16.880 --> 01:04:18.839 telling an origin 01:04:18.839 --> 01:04:22.559 story I'm just going to come up with one 01:04:22.559 --> 01:04:26.200 but um 01:04:26.200 --> 01:04:29.319 yeah that's exactly the territory that 01:04:29.319 --> 01:04:31.839 needs to be 01:04:31.839 --> 01:04:35.720 explicated and then 01:04:36.079 --> 01:04:37.799 um 01:04:37.799 --> 01:04:40.359 yeah because you can't even write a book 01:04:40.359 --> 01:04:42.039 like Wilbur did anymore you can't sit 01:04:42.039 --> 01:04:43.760 down and write up for even people be 01:04:43.760 --> 01:04:45.799 like that's just it's just a myth you 01:04:45.799 --> 01:04:50.000 know I mean you you those days I mean 01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:52.640 things have changed in the space really 01:04:52.640 --> 01:04:56.039 quickly um 01:04:56.039 --> 01:04:58.119 whereas when Wilbur wrote it was like Ah 01:04:58.119 --> 01:05:00.279 that's a myth I can believe you know 01:05:00.279 --> 01:05:03.319 it's like okay one quick follow on 01:05:03.319 --> 01:05:04.640 question if I may but just about on the 01:05:04.640 --> 01:05:06.960 sincerity side so because you there's a 01:05:06.960 --> 01:05:09.400 regress into Infinity on the ironic side 01:05:09.400 --> 01:05:11.279 but then I think there's an Infinity on 01:05:11.279 --> 01:05:12.960 the serious side it's kind of fractal on 01:05:12.960 --> 01:05:14.920 the serious side so infinite detail and 01:05:14.920 --> 01:05:17.520 infinite richness oh there okay yeah 01:05:17.520 --> 01:05:19.119 yeah you know what I mean so I think 01:05:19.119 --> 01:05:21.400 there's a kind of I don't know that I 01:05:21.400 --> 01:05:22.559 don't know it's a problem but it's an 01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:24.960 observation at least no no if if it's in 01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:28.319 toward the particular um then then it's 01:05:28.319 --> 01:05:30.279 similar to Lyric I haven't really 01:05:30.279 --> 01:05:33.680 noticed that um I've noticed that people 01:05:33.680 --> 01:05:36.119 are ironic but then they're like but 01:05:36.119 --> 01:05:37.760 take me seriously but I haven't seen 01:05:37.760 --> 01:05:39.680 them 01:05:39.680 --> 01:05:42.279 really um but yeah if that's what the 01:05:42.279 --> 01:05:44.640 serious on seriously ironic is it's 01:05:44.640 --> 01:05:46.880 moving it's definitely in that direction 01:05:46.880 --> 01:05:49.880 where but the lyric is not ironic at all 01:05:49.880 --> 01:05:52.520 it's the opposite it's it's if anything 01:05:52.520 --> 01:05:55.720 can come across as being like 01:05:55.720 --> 01:05:57.480 to Google eyed or 01:05:57.480 --> 01:05:59.760 something if you're ironic it'll look 01:05:59.760 --> 01:06:01.880 very Google 01:06:01.880 --> 01:06:04.720 eyed 01:06:04.720 --> 01:06:08.440 Jessica maybe this is like too basic but 01:06:08.440 --> 01:06:10.119 like to the question of like why do we 01:06:10.119 --> 01:06:13.520 need an origin story I feel like you 01:06:13.520 --> 01:06:14.880 know from maybe like a ritual 01:06:14.880 --> 01:06:16.440 perspective like when you're shifting 01:06:16.440 --> 01:06:19.240 identities and moving from one place to 01:06:19.240 --> 01:06:21.680 another it's so helpful and useful to be 01:06:21.680 --> 01:06:24.920 able to say I was here now I'm here and 01:06:24.920 --> 01:06:27.839 to like make the move and so I think 01:06:27.839 --> 01:06:30.000 that's why people write so many Memoir 01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:31.319 traumatic experiences like that that 01:06:31.319 --> 01:06:33.279 sort of thing and so I feel like the 01:06:33.279 --> 01:06:37.279 doing this you know like like I just can 01:06:37.279 --> 01:06:39.880 really see how it serves to bring people 01:06:39.880 --> 01:06:42.520 along like to just agree on you know 01:06:42.520 --> 01:06:44.680 there was we were here and now we're 01:06:44.680 --> 01:06:46.359 going somewhere else or like leaving 01:06:46.359 --> 01:06:47.839 that old way 01:06:47.839 --> 01:06:50.720 behind yeah and that that appeals to 01:06:50.720 --> 01:06:53.880 Something in the pitch it says you know 01:06:53.880 --> 01:06:56.000 uh 01:06:56.319 --> 01:06:59.359 uh that you know one must feel whole one 01:06:59.359 --> 01:07:00.920 must feel that the self is not in split 01:07:00.920 --> 01:07:03.119 into Parts one must feel you know that's 01:07:03.119 --> 01:07:05.240 part of the identity that you know 01:07:05.240 --> 01:07:08.240 people in nature are one continous whole 01:07:08.240 --> 01:07:09.720 um 01:07:09.720 --> 01:07:13.359 so you can feel that uh but then if 01:07:13.359 --> 01:07:15.640 you're kind 01:07:15.640 --> 01:07:19.559 of bopping around in origin story that 01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:21.799 what I call epistemic leakage that kind 01:07:21.799 --> 01:07:25.960 of makes you feel fragmented um I I find 01:07:25.960 --> 01:07:30.799 the Stacked levels uh uh model that in 01:07:30.799 --> 01:07:33.880 emergence you know so you have animal 01:07:33.880 --> 01:07:35.279 you know you have matter and then you 01:07:35.279 --> 01:07:39.000 have life emerges and then I I find uh I 01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:41.079 told Greg Enrique this trying to help 01:07:41.079 --> 01:07:45.520 them fix it um that on the one hand it 01:07:45.520 --> 01:07:47.359 does look like it's arguing for 01:07:47.359 --> 01:07:49.559 continuity but it leaks out that there 01:07:49.559 --> 01:07:50.680 are 01:07:50.680 --> 01:07:54.839 gaps and and and and and and reality is 01:07:54.839 --> 01:07:58.559 chopped up by these gaps and 01:07:58.559 --> 01:08:03.160 so can we get closer to An Origin story 01:08:03.160 --> 01:08:06.480 that makes us feel whole uh with 01:08:06.480 --> 01:08:09.799 ourselves with our family with the with 01:08:09.799 --> 01:08:12.880 the biosphere with the COS Cosmos you 01:08:12.880 --> 01:08:16.400 know and 01:08:19.679 --> 01:08:22.839 um that's an 01:08:22.839 --> 01:08:25.520 interesting that that's very basic and I 01:08:25.520 --> 01:08:27.600 would agree with that but I put 01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:30.040 something in the chat and I tell you 01:08:30.040 --> 01:08:32.759 this is weird so I wrote five appreciate 01:08:32.759 --> 01:08:35.000 the mysterious origins of the cosmos and 01:08:35.000 --> 01:08:37.600 the irreducibility of the other I don't 01:08:37.600 --> 01:08:41.080 know why I don't I mean I was just in 01:08:41.080 --> 01:08:44.440 this flow when I wrote the pitch deck 01:08:44.440 --> 01:08:47.319 and there's a clue in there for me this 01:08:47.319 --> 01:08:50.199 happens a lot why is the origin story 01:08:50.199 --> 01:08:51.960 what does the origin story have to do 01:08:51.960 --> 01:08:54.799 with the irreducibility of the other 01:08:54.799 --> 01:08:57.960 that to me answers the question and I 01:08:57.960 --> 01:08:59.719 don't know what I don't even know why I 01:08:59.719 --> 01:09:01.679 wrote that it doesn't even seem to fit 01:09:01.679 --> 01:09:03.440 when I read it back right when I was 01:09:03.440 --> 01:09:05.279 writing the post again I'm like what 01:09:05.279 --> 01:09:07.600 what what the does that mean what 01:09:07.600 --> 01:09:09.359 are those why are those two things on 01:09:09.359 --> 01:09:13.080 the same line and so this is like a a 01:09:13.080 --> 01:09:18.520 Coen that is in there for me um I think 01:09:18.520 --> 01:09:20.279 and 01:09:20.279 --> 01:09:23.319 um I didn't notice it until I wrote that 01:09:23.319 --> 01:09:26.040 in the post again 01:09:26.040 --> 01:09:29.239 uh what why is that why is that there 01:09:29.239 --> 01:09:31.679 it's an 01:09:32.440 --> 01:09:35.040 interesting the mysterious origins of 01:09:35.040 --> 01:09:38.000 the cosmos and the irreducibility of the 01:09:38.000 --> 01:09:40.679 other 01:09:40.679 --> 01:09:44.319 h i I loved it Bonnie because you you it 01:09:44.319 --> 01:09:47.080 sort of was posted just after I was kind 01:09:47.080 --> 01:09:49.000 of thinking about my own origin story 01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:50.480 and then trying to put it in the bigger 01:09:50.480 --> 01:09:51.600 thing which I could which was 01:09:51.600 --> 01:09:54.000 irreducible which I couldn't do so it 01:09:54.000 --> 01:09:56.239 felt it really fit with what I just said 01:09:56.239 --> 01:09:59.679 which is why I gave it the thumbs up um 01:09:59.679 --> 01:10:01.159 but there there 01:10:01.159 --> 01:10:04.679 was um the the kind of origin stories 01:10:04.679 --> 01:10:09.320 you see in communities are often 01:10:09.320 --> 01:10:12.080 um it's sort of that we're we're we're 01:10:12.080 --> 01:10:13.880 following the wrong story like you know 01:10:13.880 --> 01:10:15.679 we're the Lost Children of Gia for 01:10:15.679 --> 01:10:18.960 example you see that um as a kind of 01:10:18.960 --> 01:10:21.120 story of who we are in kind of 01:10:21.120 --> 01:10:24.520 place-based sort of Ventures because the 01:10:24.520 --> 01:10:26.199 solution is to realize we're actually 01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:29.239 not lost and you can become found or 01:10:29.239 --> 01:10:33.600 whatever um by finding your belonging in 01:10:33.600 --> 01:10:36.560 in in in in in a story of place so that 01:10:36.560 --> 01:10:39.159 kind of thing really works for the kinds 01:10:39.159 --> 01:10:42.640 of Minds who are interested in 01:10:42.640 --> 01:10:45.320 regenerative agriculture for example you 01:10:45.320 --> 01:10:48.320 know that we're we're lost but actually 01:10:48.320 --> 01:10:51.520 we're not um and if you connect with 01:10:51.520 --> 01:10:54.400 your river system or your catchment then 01:10:54.400 --> 01:10:56.120 you're you're you're found and you then 01:10:56.120 --> 01:10:57.960 have a story of belonging and your 01:10:57.960 --> 01:11:01.400 origin story is about that catchment Etc 01:11:01.400 --> 01:11:04.000 so that kind of is a story that fits for 01:11:04.000 --> 01:11:05.480 a particular audience and I think is 01:11:05.480 --> 01:11:07.159 kind of quite powerful for a lot of 01:11:07.159 --> 01:11:11.239 people trying to do that kind of work um 01:11:11.239 --> 01:11:12.440 so I just thought I'd say that and then 01:11:12.440 --> 01:11:14.080 the other thing is in terms of sort of 01:11:14.080 --> 01:11:16.840 describing the work that you do um I 01:11:16.840 --> 01:11:18.159 find 01:11:18.159 --> 01:11:20.520 that when I talk about we're trying to 01:11:20.520 --> 01:11:23.199 articulate a theory of the body and then 01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:24.159 I 01:11:24.159 --> 01:11:26.159 sort of talk about how the body is and 01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:29.159 you know we've we've opened the range of 01:11:29.159 --> 01:11:32.360 what the word body means 01:11:32.360 --> 01:11:35.600 um that sort of it's not a story right 01:11:35.600 --> 01:11:37.440 but it that communicates that 01:11:37.440 --> 01:11:40.600 communicates it maybe I don't know maybe 01:11:40.600 --> 01:11:42.920 Minds like the idea that there's a kind 01:11:42.920 --> 01:11:46.440 of rigor to it I don't know but because 01:11:46.440 --> 01:11:48.679 also for me I often sort of follow it 01:11:48.679 --> 01:11:50.760 into a conversation around education so 01:11:50.760 --> 01:11:53.320 that if we understand the human better 01:11:53.320 --> 01:11:56.800 then we can educate better you know if 01:11:56.800 --> 01:11:58.520 because 01:11:58.520 --> 01:12:00.760 um that seems to fit into a lot of 01:12:00.760 --> 01:12:03.280 conversations you know this this idea 01:12:03.280 --> 01:12:05.120 that we we don't understand who the who 01:12:05.120 --> 01:12:07.800 the human is um if we could understand 01:12:07.800 --> 01:12:09.800 who the human is or the body is if we 01:12:09.800 --> 01:12:11.239 had a better theory of that then we 01:12:11.239 --> 01:12:15.800 could do better um so 01:12:15.800 --> 01:12:19.080 yeah yeah so this touches okay Kimberly 01:12:19.080 --> 01:12:22.480 go ahead first this 01:12:22.480 --> 01:12:24.080 is 01:12:24.080 --> 01:12:27.239 thanks I I was gonna just 01:12:27.239 --> 01:12:31.480 um move along with the irreducibility of 01:12:31.480 --> 01:12:34.120 the other as 01:12:34.120 --> 01:12:36.600 um a way 01:12:36.600 --> 01:12:41.560 of relating to other 01:12:41.560 --> 01:12:46.679 bodies and um I'm by the way I'm really 01:12:46.679 --> 01:12:51.400 loving hearing the weaving process of 01:12:51.400 --> 01:12:53.960 everyone's attempts 01:12:53.960 --> 01:12:57.960 to put this in to words um and the 01:12:57.960 --> 01:13:04.520 invitations to bring it into story and 01:13:04.520 --> 01:13:08.080 song um I was really appreciative of 01:13:08.080 --> 01:13:14.040 what Holly said um in terms of looking 01:13:14.040 --> 01:13:17.639 at the development of an infant and even 01:13:17.639 --> 01:13:18.880 understanding 01:13:18.880 --> 01:13:21.560 that the 01:13:21.560 --> 01:13:24.480 infant is situated in 01:13:24.480 --> 01:13:27.719 relationship the fetus is in 01:13:27.719 --> 01:13:30.000 relationship so the 01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:31.760 sh 01:13:31.760 --> 01:13:33.719 sound 01:13:33.719 --> 01:13:37.520 is soothing because it also 01:13:37.520 --> 01:13:40.080 mirrors the digestive 01:13:40.080 --> 01:13:44.320 system and the circulatory system of the 01:13:44.320 --> 01:13:46.960 mother so the 01:13:46.960 --> 01:13:51.199 sounds are part of the environment of 01:13:51.199 --> 01:13:53.800 the fetus and when they trans transition 01:13:53.800 --> 01:13:56.400 into a different environment the cold 01:13:56.400 --> 01:14:00.840 one the one that is shocking to their 01:14:00.840 --> 01:14:06.760 system um it's an establishment of 01:14:06.760 --> 01:14:10.600 new actions and relatedness and this is 01:14:10.600 --> 01:14:11.800 what they 01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:18.520 are built what we are built for um 01:14:18.520 --> 01:14:23.400 and it's incredible the capacity to 01:14:23.400 --> 01:14:24.840 connect 01:14:24.840 --> 01:14:28.159 with a new world a new 01:14:28.159 --> 01:14:33.320 space um and so I had this image of I I 01:14:33.320 --> 01:14:37.080 think I think um Claudia said something 01:14:37.080 --> 01:14:39.440 about bringing it back just to the 01:14:39.440 --> 01:14:41.120 Simplicity of 01:14:41.120 --> 01:14:45.760 breath and um and I was reminded once 01:14:45.760 --> 01:14:48.480 again that that is also that is to a 01:14:48.480 --> 01:14:51.520 relationship the breath itself is a 01:14:51.520 --> 01:14:55.000 relationship between self an 01:14:55.000 --> 01:14:57.480 environment we're taking in the cosmos 01:14:57.480 --> 01:14:59.280 we're taking in the sky we're taking in 01:14:59.280 --> 01:15:04.360 all of the nutrients 01:15:04.679 --> 01:15:07.679 um 01:15:10.440 --> 01:15:14.159 and so self in relation to space and 01:15:14.159 --> 01:15:17.560 environment self in relation 01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:21.280 to other that 01:15:21.280 --> 01:15:24.520 is irreducibly 01:15:24.520 --> 01:15:28.159 um like that like I 01:15:28.159 --> 01:15:30.280 cannot 01:15:30.280 --> 01:15:34.440 um fully grasp the other like there's a 01:15:34.440 --> 01:15:35.440 there's a 01:15:35.440 --> 01:15:40.440 respect um for the body of other in this 01:15:40.440 --> 01:15:43.040 work that I really appreciate um and 01:15:43.040 --> 01:15:44.560 then the last thing that's coming up for 01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:46.639 me I hope this is making sense as I'm 01:15:46.639 --> 01:15:48.040 flowing with 01:15:48.040 --> 01:15:54.480 it um is the relationship between 01:15:54.480 --> 01:15:56.800 time and 01:15:56.800 --> 01:15:59.520 change and how as 01:15:59.520 --> 01:16:02.560 we are in whatever the environment is 01:16:02.560 --> 01:16:05.120 the environment itself is 01:16:05.120 --> 01:16:07.120 changing um and that is one of the 01:16:07.120 --> 01:16:09.679 tracking and we are changing within the 01:16:09.679 --> 01:16:11.560 environment and as one of the ways time 01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:13.920 is actually measured you can see it 01:16:13.920 --> 01:16:17.480 really clearly when you have like 01:16:17.480 --> 01:16:20.280 puppy it's like I can't believe it six 01:16:20.280 --> 01:16:22.120 months already 01:16:22.120 --> 01:16:23.960 um 01:16:23.960 --> 01:16:27.920 so those were those were my kind of 01:16:27.920 --> 01:16:30.280 threads that I'm bringing together um 01:16:30.280 --> 01:16:32.800 self and environment relationship with 01:16:32.800 --> 01:16:36.199 time and change and that inner being 01:16:36.199 --> 01:16:41.320 of um other 01:16:42.120 --> 01:16:44.520 bodies yeah that was perfect I'm gonna 01:16:44.520 --> 01:16:47.280 go meta on it a little because I'm gonna 01:16:47.280 --> 01:16:51.080 I'm kind of talking to Steve but um so 01:16:51.080 --> 01:16:52.760 that's what I would call metaphysics of 01:16:52.760 --> 01:16:54.199 experience exp erience like you say 01:16:54.199 --> 01:16:56.480 you're having this experience and you're 01:16:56.480 --> 01:16:58.639 you're being quite naive about it and 01:16:58.639 --> 01:17:00.360 then you realize that something in this 01:17:00.360 --> 01:17:02.040 experience right 01:17:02.040 --> 01:17:04.800 now um so the baby like sh because 01:17:04.800 --> 01:17:06.400 that's in the wound and the wound is 01:17:06.400 --> 01:17:08.679 from the other and so you can trace back 01:17:08.679 --> 01:17:09.880 to 01:17:09.880 --> 01:17:12.560 origin from the present like from the 01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:15.520 experience you're having now um instead 01:17:15.520 --> 01:17:18.679 of having a metaphysics and then trying 01:17:18.679 --> 01:17:21.719 to understand experience of it so it's 01:17:21.719 --> 01:17:24.080 it's in a different direction 01:17:24.080 --> 01:17:27.280 and um 01:17:27.280 --> 01:17:30.080 and and so that was lovely it was lovely 01:17:30.080 --> 01:17:34.199 like this is the kind of uh confidence 01:17:34.199 --> 01:17:36.840 that working from this direction is 01:17:36.840 --> 01:17:38.480 because 01:17:38.480 --> 01:17:41.320 you you know you don't have to be a 01:17:41.320 --> 01:17:43.320 Galaxy brain you know you just have to 01:17:43.320 --> 01:17:44.880 be curious like why 01:17:44.880 --> 01:17:48.639 does why does you know why why all these 01:17:48.639 --> 01:17:50.840 little like a kid like there's so much 01:17:50.840 --> 01:17:53.159 curious and mysteriousness and you you 01:17:53.159 --> 01:17:55.760 know that somehow it ties all the way 01:17:55.760 --> 01:17:58.080 back you just know now you as you're 01:17:58.080 --> 01:17:59.840 tying it all the way back you can get 01:17:59.840 --> 01:18:01.040 into 01:18:01.040 --> 01:18:04.040 like gobbledygook and whoopity woo and 01:18:04.040 --> 01:18:06.159 start telling you can feel yourself 01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:08.480 becoming too Mythic and it gets cool and 01:18:08.480 --> 01:18:11.719 stuff but you know 01:18:11.719 --> 01:18:13.760 that that there's something you can 01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:16.320 trace there's a traceability that way 01:18:16.320 --> 01:18:18.400 you know that that must be the fabric of 01:18:18.400 --> 01:18:22.280 the universe now having said that so 01:18:22.280 --> 01:18:23.760 that's exactly what I mean by 01:18:23.760 --> 01:18:27.760 metaphysics of experience um now having 01:18:27.760 --> 01:18:30.040 said that and it doesn't feel like you 01:18:30.040 --> 01:18:32.199 can tell so we this is one of the 01:18:32.199 --> 01:18:34.080 reasons why we did the work that we did 01:18:34.080 --> 01:18:36.120 you can tell when it's just more feels 01:18:36.120 --> 01:18:39.040 more like observation and what we call 01:18:39.040 --> 01:18:41.480 cross modal leaps right we're making 01:18:41.480 --> 01:18:43.480 well the breath must be like something 01:18:43.480 --> 01:18:45.520 that happened to the ear in the early 01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:48.480 Universe it's a cross modal leap versus 01:18:48.480 --> 01:18:50.600 when it gets to be extremely imaginary 01:18:50.600 --> 01:18:53.080 and projection so we're always kind of 01:18:53.080 --> 01:18:56.120 like on that edge um but we know there's 01:18:56.120 --> 01:18:58.360 different biomarkers 01:18:58.360 --> 01:19:01.440 for what you know what that that 01:19:01.440 --> 01:19:04.480 experience is we're not always able to 01:19:04.480 --> 01:19:06.400 especially if you're in some kind of 01:19:06.400 --> 01:19:08.639 limal space and stuff is downloading 01:19:08.639 --> 01:19:10.600 really fast you're not always able to 01:19:10.600 --> 01:19:15.639 know which is which but um so the 01:19:15.639 --> 01:19:19.560 alternative which um is there so then 01:19:19.560 --> 01:19:23.600 there's this another trap in uh telling 01:19:23.600 --> 01:19:28.120 origin stories and that is um this 01:19:28.120 --> 01:19:31.639 notion of whether the universe has first 01:19:31.639 --> 01:19:34.239 principles and first values right is is 01:19:34.239 --> 01:19:35.639 the 01:19:35.639 --> 01:19:39.400 universe a loving place you know this is 01:19:39.400 --> 01:19:41.880 what Einstein said you know the 01:19:41.880 --> 01:19:44.400 difference it's important the biggest 01:19:44.400 --> 01:19:46.400 thing in a person's life is whether you 01:19:46.400 --> 01:19:48.600 think the universe is a friendly place 01:19:48.600 --> 01:19:50.880 or not this very 01:19:50.880 --> 01:19:54.400 important but um one of the problems 01:19:54.400 --> 01:19:56.199 with positing 01:19:56.199 --> 01:20:00.719 metaphysical values is that if you say 01:20:00.719 --> 01:20:05.000 the universe is a loving place um if you 01:20:05.000 --> 01:20:08.360 say God is all knowing and all powerful 01:20:08.360 --> 01:20:11.679 and all loving you have to a you have to 01:20:11.679 --> 01:20:15.239 ask well why do does he let babies die 01:20:15.239 --> 01:20:19.199 in burning cars and um then you get into 01:20:19.199 --> 01:20:23.360 all these these um 01:20:23.360 --> 01:20:25.960 mental gymnastics by saying well then 01:20:25.960 --> 01:20:28.360 there's pseudo Arrow or there's pseudo 01:20:28.360 --> 01:20:31.480 love or there's pseudo this or there's 01:20:31.480 --> 01:20:33.480 and the question 01:20:33.480 --> 01:20:37.560 is one of the questions is whether or 01:20:37.560 --> 01:20:42.320 not there is a gradient so in in Brendan 01:20:42.320 --> 01:20:44.719 gr Dempsey's work and in Greg's work the 01:20:44.719 --> 01:20:48.440 gradi gradient always toward higher 01:20:48.440 --> 01:20:52.920 complexity um and this you know being me 01:20:52.920 --> 01:20:53.600 I 01:20:53.600 --> 01:20:57.040 reject but is there a gradient and and I 01:20:57.040 --> 01:20:59.199 just in my work I just call it 01:20:59.199 --> 01:21:03.639 aprension it's a gradient that things 01:21:03.639 --> 01:21:07.800 overall are more likely to do this and 01:21:07.800 --> 01:21:10.000 less likely to that do that but at a 01:21:10.000 --> 01:21:12.560 local level that array the gradient 01:21:12.560 --> 01:21:18.960 array can be different right so um um 01:21:18.960 --> 01:21:21.280 it's in the in the northern hemisphere 01:21:21.280 --> 01:21:23.880 it's more likely to rises in the East 01:21:23.880 --> 01:21:25.880 and settles in the West in the southern 01:21:25.880 --> 01:21:28.520 hemisphere it's different but behind 01:21:28.520 --> 01:21:31.000 that is still the protention for the sun 01:21:31.000 --> 01:21:32.840 to rise and fall or something like that 01:21:32.840 --> 01:21:35.320 this great so is there a 01:21:35.320 --> 01:21:38.000 gradient 01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:39.760 established at the beginning of the 01:21:39.760 --> 01:21:42.719 universe or just is there a gradient in 01:21:42.719 --> 01:21:43.520 the 01:21:43.520 --> 01:21:47.080 universe and I'm going to make a 01:21:47.080 --> 01:21:49.719 case uh or if I I'm going to try to make 01:21:49.719 --> 01:21:51.360 a case and if I can't pull it off then 01:21:51.360 --> 01:21:55.840 I'll just have to drop drop that 01:21:55.840 --> 01:21:58.600 but um my 01:21:58.600 --> 01:22:03.440 story um I'll tell after uh Justin makes 01:22:03.440 --> 01:22:05.679 a 01:22:06.199 --> 01:22:08.239 comment well it occurred to me that I 01:22:08.239 --> 01:22:09.719 have an 01:22:09.719 --> 01:22:11.920 incipient origin 01:22:11.920 --> 01:22:14.760 story you know I have this daily prama 01:22:14.760 --> 01:22:16.880 practice and I often jot down 01:22:16.880 --> 01:22:20.080 notes and another thing is that I have 01:22:20.080 --> 01:22:21.520 these little thoughts that come to me 01:22:21.520 --> 01:22:23.239 and sometimes over time they start 01:22:23.239 --> 01:22:25.679 weaving themselves together so I'm 01:22:25.679 --> 01:22:27.800 noticing a beginning of a weaving so I'm 01:22:27.800 --> 01:22:30.000 just going to whether it makes any sense 01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:31.679 or not I'm going to share it so what I 01:22:31.679 --> 01:22:33.199 wrote down I think it was the day before 01:22:33.199 --> 01:22:36.880 yesterday was the I am in each person is 01:22:36.880 --> 01:22:40.159 the eye of a black hole taking in but 01:22:40.159 --> 01:22:43.560 unperturbed by the dancing Joy outside 01:22:43.560 --> 01:22:45.320 of its 01:22:45.320 --> 01:22:49.639 interior and many times over the years 01:22:49.639 --> 01:22:51.880 Joy is in the many keeps returning to me 01:22:51.880 --> 01:22:53.679 all the time and it does match up a 01:22:53.679 --> 01:22:56.960 little bit with Ora bendo's she leapt 01:22:56.960 --> 01:22:59.320 forth from him in a burst of joy to play 01:22:59.320 --> 01:23:02.239 it finding him again in time so if you 01:23:02.239 --> 01:23:03.520 look at if the 01:23:03.520 --> 01:23:06.239 singularity is the actual I'm gonna 01:23:06.239 --> 01:23:08.159 assume it's true because I don't know 01:23:08.159 --> 01:23:10.320 big big bang There was a singularity and 01:23:10.320 --> 01:23:13.080 the joy burst forth from it then at the 01:23:13.080 --> 01:23:15.760 center of each Galaxy the the many is 01:23:15.760 --> 01:23:18.639 returning to this to a singularity and 01:23:18.639 --> 01:23:21.480 so the joy is joying in the 01:23:21.480 --> 01:23:23.679 recombination into the 01:23:23.679 --> 01:23:26.159 interior of a singularity and that 01:23:26.159 --> 01:23:28.540 there's a singularity inside of each 01:23:28.540 --> 01:23:29.719 [Music] 01:23:29.719 --> 01:23:33.199 person that's okay so this is exactly 01:23:33.199 --> 01:23:36.280 what I'm gonna argue in different 01:23:36.280 --> 01:23:41.880 terms and um so I'm going to argue that 01:23:41.880 --> 01:23:44.239 the initial 01:23:44.239 --> 01:23:47.040 whatever was The Ultimate Compound 01:23:47.040 --> 01:23:50.719 individual I'm I'm going to use um wh 01:23:50.719 --> 01:23:52.159 head terms internal and external 01:23:52.159 --> 01:23:53.320 relation 01:23:53.320 --> 01:23:56.480 the initial whatever was just internally 01:23:56.480 --> 01:23:59.159 related to itself a black hole only has 01:23:59.159 --> 01:24:02.080 internal relations it's just internally 01:24:02.080 --> 01:24:04.520 related to itself which doesn't mean 01:24:04.520 --> 01:24:06.560 there can't be some kind of 01:24:06.560 --> 01:24:11.840 differentiation but there's no exterior 01:24:11.840 --> 01:24:14.000 relationships and then 01:24:14.000 --> 01:24:15.719 somehow 01:24:15.719 --> 01:24:19.800 this opens up or or something happens uh 01:24:19.800 --> 01:24:23.000 so it itself is a singularity and now 01:24:23.000 --> 01:24:25.639 what you have is the ability to have 01:24:25.639 --> 01:24:28.920 external relations but in every external 01:24:28.920 --> 01:24:31.560 relationship there's a little bit of the 01:24:31.560 --> 01:24:34.480 person I'm relating to exteriorly that's 01:24:34.480 --> 01:24:36.080 compounded into 01:24:36.080 --> 01:24:40.639 me so so now you have two dances first 01:24:40.639 --> 01:24:43.320 you had one hand clamp and so I said 01:24:43.320 --> 01:24:45.679 this the other day it's like the typical 01:24:45.679 --> 01:24:47.639 thing is the yin and the Yang but when 01:24:47.639 --> 01:24:49.400 it comes out the white has a little 01:24:49.400 --> 01:24:52.040 black dot in it and the black has a 01:24:52.040 --> 01:24:53.360 little white like Dot and it because 01:24:53.360 --> 01:24:56.280 those are the internal relations 01:24:56.280 --> 01:25:00.679 of each others so so the black hole is 01:25:00.679 --> 01:25:03.560 just internal relations and then the The 01:25:03.560 --> 01:25:06.440 Joy or the expressive Universe the 01:25:06.440 --> 01:25:09.360 explicit universe is this ability to 01:25:09.360 --> 01:25:12.880 have external relationships and it's got 01:25:12.880 --> 01:25:15.400 you know it's it's and and so this is 01:25:15.400 --> 01:25:18.639 like uh the absence of Gap Junctions 01:25:18.639 --> 01:25:20.920 right so you have individual 01:25:20.920 --> 01:25:25.199 identities um and um all the things that 01:25:25.199 --> 01:25:30.119 happen externally and that the gradient 01:25:30.119 --> 01:25:35.159 the gradient array is toward the 01:25:35.159 --> 01:25:38.320 complexification of in external 01:25:38.320 --> 01:25:40.480 relationships and the compounding of 01:25:40.480 --> 01:25:44.239 internal relationships so that 01:25:44.239 --> 01:25:46.840 eventually so if you look at the 01:25:46.840 --> 01:25:50.560 interior of a modern high school kid 01:25:50.560 --> 01:25:52.280 there's a lot more going on in there 01:25:52.280 --> 01:25:56.199 their interior a lot more of the culture 01:25:56.199 --> 01:26:00.320 and there's they're more okay so there's 01:26:00.320 --> 01:26:02.080 two ways there's a physical way to be a 01:26:02.080 --> 01:26:05.159 compound individual so here's me I'm a 01:26:05.159 --> 01:26:06.800 compound 01:26:06.800 --> 01:26:09.400 individual um I'm made up of me many 01:26:09.400 --> 01:26:12.960 cells they share one identity and so 01:26:12.960 --> 01:26:15.239 there's that but then I'm in a 01:26:15.239 --> 01:26:17.760 collective called the culture and I'm 01:26:17.760 --> 01:26:19.080 becoming more 01:26:19.080 --> 01:26:22.719 compounded that way and I don't believe 01:26:22.719 --> 01:26:25.840 there's a compound individual yet called 01:26:25.840 --> 01:26:28.119 the social Collective but I believe 01:26:28.119 --> 01:26:29.719 these two things are happening at the 01:26:29.719 --> 01:26:32.440 same time and I think 01:26:32.440 --> 01:26:35.280 somehow there's a gradient between them 01:26:35.280 --> 01:26:37.159 like I'm not sure what it is yet but 01:26:37.159 --> 01:26:41.800 this I think is what the gradient is and 01:26:41.800 --> 01:26:44.440 um so it's the same story that you're 01:26:44.440 --> 01:26:46.600 saying but I'm using a process 01:26:46.600 --> 01:26:51.199 philosophy terms to to talk about it um 01:26:51.199 --> 01:26:54.199 and 01:26:56.119 --> 01:26:58.520 so 01:26:58.520 --> 01:27:01.400 like there's there's a bacteria that 01:27:01.400 --> 01:27:04.960 lives in a sheep's gut and it can't 01:27:04.960 --> 01:27:07.400 doesn't live anywhere 01:27:07.400 --> 01:27:11.320 else and 01:27:11.639 --> 01:27:17.880 um it and it it required the Sheep to to 01:27:17.880 --> 01:27:21.520 to grow evolve the Sheep had to evolve a 01:27:21.520 --> 01:27:23.760 a bladder lives in this bladder before 01:27:23.760 --> 01:27:26.119 this bacteria could mutate to live in it 01:27:26.119 --> 01:27:30.400 right and so um this relationship 01:27:30.400 --> 01:27:33.199 between that's a bad example but but I 01:27:33.199 --> 01:27:37.560 think that this is this is these are the 01:27:37.560 --> 01:27:41.960 epistemic tools I'm going to use to talk 01:27:41.960 --> 01:27:44.960 about um what what's going on and so why 01:27:44.960 --> 01:27:47.239 is it important 01:27:47.239 --> 01:27:50.239 because 01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:55.440 um we need on a practical level to be 01:27:55.440 --> 01:27:57.040 able 01:27:57.040 --> 01:28:01.199 to oh I figured it out now that what in 01:28:01.199 --> 01:28:03.320 in a collective there's the 01:28:03.320 --> 01:28:05.880 irreducibility of the other in a 01:28:05.880 --> 01:28:09.040 compound individual it's a singularity 01:28:09.040 --> 01:28:12.159 right and we need to know the difference 01:28:12.159 --> 01:28:15.800 between them we need a 01:28:15.800 --> 01:28:18.080 rigorous we I mean I think we have 01:28:18.080 --> 01:28:19.639 instincts but we don't know what we're 01:28:19.639 --> 01:28:20.800 talking 01:28:20.800 --> 01:28:24.040 about um 01:28:25.320 --> 01:28:26.800 something like that I mean I find it 01:28:26.800 --> 01:28:28.400 very similar to you're what you're 01:28:28.400 --> 01:28:31.159 talking about visually and in in in 01:28:31.159 --> 01:28:33.360 terms 01:28:33.360 --> 01:28:36.280 of the black hole it's this just all 01:28:36.280 --> 01:28:40.360 internal relations by definition there's 01:28:40.360 --> 01:28:42.880 no yeah let put together another piece 01:28:42.880 --> 01:28:44.760 of my own puzzle because part of where 01:28:44.760 --> 01:28:47.320 that came from is I know I think I 01:28:47.320 --> 01:28:48.800 shared here maybe I did anyway a couple 01:28:48.800 --> 01:28:51.080 of weeks ago I had a nephew who died 01:28:51.080 --> 01:28:52.800 suddenly by a stroke 01:28:52.800 --> 01:28:55.800 BR the entire family all of our 01:28:55.800 --> 01:28:57.800 differences disappeared and this just 01:28:57.800 --> 01:29:00.719 relatedness that's it there's nothing 01:29:00.719 --> 01:29:02.920 else there's just we're all tightly 01:29:02.920 --> 01:29:05.080 bound and all the extraneous stuff that 01:29:05.080 --> 01:29:07.960 we have differentiated from is like gone 01:29:07.960 --> 01:29:08.880 in a 01:29:08.880 --> 01:29:11.119 moment that's one piece the other piece 01:29:11.119 --> 01:29:12.960 is I think I shared this here a year or 01:29:12.960 --> 01:29:16.760 two ago but um I had this memory of this 01:29:16.760 --> 01:29:19.840 woman I worked with in the 70s and the 01:29:19.840 --> 01:29:21.760 thought of her brought me joy and I 01:29:21.760 --> 01:29:25.560 thought well how who else there so I 01:29:25.560 --> 01:29:27.440 ended up making a list I ended up with 01:29:27.440 --> 01:29:31.360 1160 something and again what I 01:29:31.360 --> 01:29:33.520 recognized about that is none of their 01:29:33.520 --> 01:29:35.360 idiosyncrasy stayed me something about 01:29:35.360 --> 01:29:38.239 their Essence stayed with me and is now 01:29:38.239 --> 01:29:40.360 part of me that I cannot separate myself 01:29:40.360 --> 01:29:42.960 from so how many of the many can I 01:29:42.960 --> 01:29:45.719 include in 01:29:46.360 --> 01:29:50.440 here yeah so there's something about 01:29:50.440 --> 01:29:53.960 how you want to collapse not collapse is 01:29:53.960 --> 01:29:55.199 the wrong word but I'm going to use it 01:29:55.199 --> 01:29:56.800 because I can't think of anything else 01:29:56.800 --> 01:29:58.840 like it's really sweet when the the 01:29:58.840 --> 01:30:01.800 relations collapse to this shared 01:30:01.800 --> 01:30:04.639 interiority right all the the the 01:30:04.639 --> 01:30:07.080 Resonance of the in the internal 01:30:07.080 --> 01:30:11.239 relations and yet the other is remains 01:30:11.239 --> 01:30:13.679 irreducible right you can't reduce the 01:30:13.679 --> 01:30:17.080 other to the internal relations these 01:30:17.080 --> 01:30:19.480 things have to be held at the same the 01:30:19.480 --> 01:30:22.840 same time gluons 01:30:22.840 --> 01:30:25.920 gluons is that how they work well no 01:30:25.920 --> 01:30:27.960 gluons hold the the protons and the 01:30:27.960 --> 01:30:31.440 neutrons together okay yeah they're 01:30:31.440 --> 01:30:33.040 distinct but they're bound right 01:30:33.040 --> 01:30:35.520 actually I was thinking of researching 01:30:35.520 --> 01:30:37.960 the five the fundamental forces to see 01:30:37.960 --> 01:30:39.639 if I could but I'm not gonna do that for 01:30:39.639 --> 01:30:42.920 this book anyways so yeah so that's 01:30:42.920 --> 01:30:46.080 something to to understand that 01:30:46.080 --> 01:30:48.080 everything is collapsible to internal 01:30:48.080 --> 01:30:50.920 relations because we came from this one 01:30:50.920 --> 01:30:53.920 compound individ idual but that the in 01:30:53.920 --> 01:30:55.760 the other is IR at the same time 01:30:55.760 --> 01:30:59.080 irreducible to the set of internal 01:30:59.080 --> 01:31:01.400 relations because of all this other 01:31:01.400 --> 01:31:04.360 stuff that's going on um but neither 01:31:04.360 --> 01:31:06.040 should we just look at all this other 01:31:06.040 --> 01:31:10.639 stuff that's going on and so so you 01:31:10.639 --> 01:31:12.800 could call both those moves 01:31:12.800 --> 01:31:14.800 complexification but that's 01:31:14.800 --> 01:31:17.280 not there're really two different kinds 01:31:17.280 --> 01:31:19.040 of moves one 01:31:19.040 --> 01:31:23.760 is yeah um 01:31:29.480 --> 01:31:31.400 reminding me a long time ago of this 01:31:31.400 --> 01:31:34.520 video that you put on one of the in one 01:31:34.520 --> 01:31:39.119 of the um uh meetings it was it was it 01:31:39.119 --> 01:31:43.080 was kind of this globu that was always 01:31:43.080 --> 01:31:44.800 kind of expanding from the inside and 01:31:44.800 --> 01:31:46.840 had lots of individual particular things 01:31:46.840 --> 01:31:48.400 that were kind of expanding and the 01:31:48.400 --> 01:31:52.840 whole thing was kind of expanding out um 01:31:52.840 --> 01:31:54.360 and I guess the origin story you're 01:31:54.360 --> 01:31:56.360 trying to say is to look from a to look 01:31:56.360 --> 01:31:59.920 at that thing and explain it in a way 01:31:59.920 --> 01:32:01.679 did you know the the image that I'm 01:32:01.679 --> 01:32:04.239 talking about yeah it'd be cool to keep 01:32:04.239 --> 01:32:08.159 get an image 3D mandle brute set yeah 01:32:08.159 --> 01:32:10.719 yeah because maybe we're trying to kind 01:32:10.719 --> 01:32:12.679 of say what that thing is from one of 01:32:12.679 --> 01:32:15.320 these exploding particulars in a way 01:32:15.320 --> 01:32:19.480 aren't we and um uh it'd be nice to get 01:32:19.480 --> 01:32:21.080 that kind of that really stayed with me 01:32:21.080 --> 01:32:24.199 anyway um in this multimedia book that 01:32:24.199 --> 01:32:26.360 you're going to be producing it's not 01:32:26.360 --> 01:32:31.520 gonna be multimedia but I realized 01:32:31.520 --> 01:32:34.360 something um which I don't think there 01:32:34.360 --> 01:32:36.880 was a confusion at the time but for 01:32:36.880 --> 01:32:38.320 example remember we were saying you look 01:32:38.320 --> 01:32:41.960 inside and it's my brain and it looks 01:32:41.960 --> 01:32:44.800 less like a calculator more like Pond 01:32:44.800 --> 01:32:47.119 life well it actually doesn't look like 01:32:47.119 --> 01:32:50.080 Pond life like in my gut where there's a 01:32:50.080 --> 01:32:52.080 lot of bacteria that looks like Pond 01:32:52.080 --> 01:32:54.480 life because my gut is really the 01:32:54.480 --> 01:32:57.000 habitat for the bacteria that have 01:32:57.000 --> 01:32:59.800 internal and external relationships but 01:32:59.800 --> 01:33:01.960 but they they actually have a lot more 01:33:01.960 --> 01:33:04.560 external relationships but in my brain 01:33:04.560 --> 01:33:07.360 it doesn't look like Pond life because 01:33:07.360 --> 01:33:11.320 they internal relationships are 01:33:11.320 --> 01:33:15.000 so they're so P primary that the neurons 01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:18.280 don't compete with each other for re 01:33:18.280 --> 01:33:20.119 they kind of do but it's not like Pond 01:33:20.119 --> 01:33:21.800 life where Pond life things are eating 01:33:21.800 --> 01:33:23.560 each other and this and that there's a 01:33:23.560 --> 01:33:26.639 shared identity and so when you ask 01:33:26.639 --> 01:33:31.400 yourself why are neurons unlike the eoli 01:33:31.400 --> 01:33:33.639 in my stomach they're just they're just 01:33:33.639 --> 01:33:36.159 doing what they would do in a pond right 01:33:36.159 --> 01:33:39.920 why are they contributing to this this 01:33:39.920 --> 01:33:41.320 compound 01:33:41.320 --> 01:33:42.960 individual 01:33:42.960 --> 01:33:47.719 um and so one could say because they 01:33:47.719 --> 01:33:51.760 have the same origin right the same they 01:33:51.760 --> 01:33:54.159 can trace themselves back to 01:33:54.159 --> 01:33:59.360 the fet the the the Inception okay so 01:33:59.360 --> 01:34:02.440 they trace themselves back to this event 01:34:02.440 --> 01:34:03.360 in 01:34:03.360 --> 01:34:06.119 time which of course traces back traces 01:34:06.119 --> 01:34:08.600 back traces back 01:34:08.600 --> 01:34:10.719 whereas the 01:34:10.719 --> 01:34:13.719 bacteria 01:34:14.239 --> 01:34:17.480 in yeah it gets complicated but anyways 01:34:17.480 --> 01:34:19.880 it's not like Pond life in the sense 01:34:19.880 --> 01:34:23.199 that pond life is a itive with of 01:34:23.199 --> 01:34:25.440 external mostly external but also some 01:34:25.440 --> 01:34:30.000 Ingress relationships whereas your brain 01:34:30.000 --> 01:34:32.520 is in a sense more like Pond life but 01:34:32.520 --> 01:34:36.199 it's it's more of a part of a compound 01:34:36.199 --> 01:34:38.840 individual it's very confusing when you 01:34:38.840 --> 01:34:42.199 talk about it but that's the territory 01:34:42.199 --> 01:34:46.080 so Phoebe help us out she she's weaving 01:34:46.080 --> 01:34:47.440 she's knitting something and I'm 01:34:47.440 --> 01:34:49.000 beginning to think this has got to be 01:34:49.000 --> 01:34:50.480 knitted 01:34:50.480 --> 01:34:53.159 together the babies 01:34:53.159 --> 01:34:55.600 do 01:34:55.600 --> 01:34:58.320 shortly okay so it's a good thing that I 01:34:58.320 --> 01:35:01.000 like myself in general because when I'm 01:35:01.000 --> 01:35:02.679 in this 01:35:02.679 --> 01:35:04.600 class 01:35:04.600 --> 01:35:08.199 uh I don't know who the I am and I 01:35:08.199 --> 01:35:10.320 don't know I don't get any of the stuff 01:35:10.320 --> 01:35:16.000 you guys are talking about any of it 01:35:16.119 --> 01:35:20.400 so I'll take this candy out of my mouth 01:35:20.400 --> 01:35:23.639 so I want to see if I can articulate an 01:35:23.639 --> 01:35:28.600 experience of a sense of 01:35:28.600 --> 01:35:32.280 something new and 01:35:34.520 --> 01:35:36.800 real uh and I don't know if I can 01:35:36.800 --> 01:35:39.719 because this is so like in a way it's a 01:35:39.719 --> 01:35:44.280 cold space it's so intellectual I cannot 01:35:44.280 --> 01:35:46.440 with my 01:35:46.440 --> 01:35:48.000 mind 01:35:48.000 --> 01:35:49.920 reconstitute 01:35:49.920 --> 01:35:52.880 or refer from one thing to another 01:35:52.880 --> 01:35:55.920 experiences which are in their in the 01:35:55.920 --> 01:35:58.000 direct experience which brings me 01:35:58.000 --> 01:36:01.480 something new expands me I have it a new 01:36:01.480 --> 01:36:04.360 experience of myself kind of in living 01:36:04.360 --> 01:36:06.560 truth there's a there's a there's a 01:36:06.560 --> 01:36:10.320 sense of 01:36:14.480 --> 01:36:19.639 um like so just recently 01:36:20.320 --> 01:36:22.719 um oh God I don't know if I can 01:36:22.719 --> 01:36:26.000 reproduce it but 01:36:28.400 --> 01:36:31.280 um a sense of 01:36:31.280 --> 01:36:35.920 becoming more and as I'm tuning into my 01:36:35.920 --> 01:36:38.239 experience and tuning into relationship 01:36:38.239 --> 01:36:39.199 more and 01:36:39.199 --> 01:36:41.880 more weightless more 01:36:41.880 --> 01:36:45.880 light not so much light filled with the 01:36:45.880 --> 01:36:48.000 physical light although that may also be 01:36:48.000 --> 01:36:51.600 the case but but more uh but less and 01:36:51.600 --> 01:36:53.239 less 01:36:53.239 --> 01:36:55.040 weighted 01:36:55.040 --> 01:36:59.239 by something that maybe is prior to who 01:36:59.239 --> 01:37:01.080 I am now 01:37:01.080 --> 01:37:04.800 becoming and in that state there's a 01:37:04.800 --> 01:37:06.239 sense 01:37:06.239 --> 01:37:08.760 of 01:37:08.760 --> 01:37:11.040 following 01:37:11.040 --> 01:37:13.600 um of of being 01:37:13.600 --> 01:37:17.080 joined and in being in the flow and of 01:37:17.080 --> 01:37:21.840 being um and and being able to trust and 01:37:21.840 --> 01:37:24.600 this is just the trust is uh almost 01:37:24.600 --> 01:37:28.360 experimental it's like who knows 01:37:28.360 --> 01:37:31.400 but but being light enough that I can 01:37:31.400 --> 01:37:34.960 sense a flow that feels good if I join 01:37:34.960 --> 01:37:38.480 it let's put it that way okay so that's 01:37:38.480 --> 01:37:39.960 that's an experience that I've been 01:37:39.960 --> 01:37:42.119 having something like 01:37:42.119 --> 01:37:44.880 that but I 01:37:44.880 --> 01:37:48.400 don't and so there's a knowing you could 01:37:48.400 --> 01:37:50.199 say in that 01:37:50.199 --> 01:37:52.199 experience 01:37:52.199 --> 01:37:55.480 um it's not 01:37:55.560 --> 01:38:00.560 cognitive but there's the experience 01:38:04.199 --> 01:38:06.159 itself 01:38:06.159 --> 01:38:08.000 feels 01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:11.000 good 01:38:12.239 --> 01:38:15.719 and feels more real than what I was 01:38:15.719 --> 01:38:19.199 experiencing before who I was before so 01:38:19.199 --> 01:38:22.360 there's a sense of a becoming 01:38:22.360 --> 01:38:24.880 happening so when you said you know 01:38:24.880 --> 01:38:26.599 we're all in the middle everything's in 01:38:26.599 --> 01:38:27.480 the middle that's the only thing that 01:38:27.480 --> 01:38:30.400 makes sense to me and then how would I 01:38:30.400 --> 01:38:34.119 relate that to An Origin story if I I 01:38:34.119 --> 01:38:36.480 just I don't even know if I should 01:38:36.480 --> 01:38:38.679 continue to try to do this work Bonnie 01:38:38.679 --> 01:38:41.880 because I can't my mind can't do any I 01:38:41.880 --> 01:38:43.840 can't I can't F I don't know all these 01:38:43.840 --> 01:38:46.280 theories you're referring to and they 01:38:46.280 --> 01:38:50.080 don't um they don't live they don't 01:38:50.080 --> 01:38:52.440 resonate in me they don't find lodging 01:38:52.440 --> 01:38:54.760 anywhere inside of me maybe that's just 01:38:54.760 --> 01:38:57.920 the way I'm made up and and even if they 01:38:57.920 --> 01:38:59.440 did find lodging I wouldn't be able to 01:38:59.440 --> 01:39:01.920 find him the next time because I can't 01:39:01.920 --> 01:39:05.719 hold on to him 01:39:05.840 --> 01:39:09.400 so so I don't know on the one hand I'm 01:39:09.400 --> 01:39:12.599 saying I'm not sure if I should be here 01:39:12.599 --> 01:39:14.960 literally and 01:39:14.960 --> 01:39:17.280 on and on the other hand I thought well 01:39:17.280 --> 01:39:19.639 let me just say something that feels 01:39:19.639 --> 01:39:23.040 real for me 01:39:23.960 --> 01:39:25.679 to see if 01:39:25.679 --> 01:39:28.880 there's any way that that 01:39:28.880 --> 01:39:33.599 uh belongs in this 01:39:33.599 --> 01:39:35.920 discussion and then if I were to try to 01:39:35.920 --> 01:39:39.080 talk about an origin 01:39:39.080 --> 01:39:42.679 story the only thing I would say is 01:39:42.679 --> 01:39:44.239 whatever I'm 01:39:44.239 --> 01:39:49.159 experiencing that that that's part of 01:39:49.159 --> 01:39:52.000 it and I don't want to try to think it 01:39:52.000 --> 01:39:55.960 because if I think it I'm not in it I'm 01:39:55.960 --> 01:39:58.760 not parti I'm not participating so 01:39:58.760 --> 01:40:00.159 ultimately I guess it would be 01:40:00.159 --> 01:40:02.760 participatory it's just this the feeling 01:40:02.760 --> 01:40:05.040 of being in 01:40:05.040 --> 01:40:07.119 participation that's all I can say I 01:40:07.119 --> 01:40:09.480 can't say 01:40:11.880 --> 01:40:14.199 anymore 01:40:14.199 --> 01:40:16.760 Justin yeah I just want to respond to my 01:40:16.760 --> 01:40:17.719 friend 01:40:17.719 --> 01:40:20.679 Phoebe um because I don't understand a 01:40:20.679 --> 01:40:22.800 fraction I mean small pieces of what 01:40:22.800 --> 01:40:25.639 goes on here and it doesn't matter to me 01:40:25.639 --> 01:40:27.159 um there are certain things that 01:40:27.159 --> 01:40:28.719 resonate with me that I will carry with 01:40:28.719 --> 01:40:30.480 me forever and the rest of it's out in 01:40:30.480 --> 01:40:33.320 space of mine and that's fine because 01:40:33.320 --> 01:40:35.520 whatever it is that calls to me wants me 01:40:35.520 --> 01:40:38.440 here and that I am clear about so you 01:40:38.440 --> 01:40:40.400 know take the energy in and grab what 01:40:40.400 --> 01:40:42.480 you can at least from my perspective and 01:40:42.480 --> 01:40:44.480 let the rest of it go it doesn't matter 01:40:44.480 --> 01:40:47.840 at least from one 01:40:49.920 --> 01:40:52.920 perspective 01:40:54.320 --> 01:40:57.320 I'm getting knitting 01:41:05.719 --> 01:41:09.800 done I think I get what you mean 01:41:19.840 --> 01:41:22.840 Phoebe 01:41:34.960 --> 01:41:37.080 I'll also say it's not just ideas the 01:41:37.080 --> 01:41:38.920 feel of the space will stick with me 01:41:38.920 --> 01:41:40.560 forever too it's like collecting an 01:41:40.560 --> 01:41:44.199 individual except it's collecting and 01:41:46.480 --> 01:41:49.360 Collective well maybe if I could be as 01:41:49.360 --> 01:41:51.800 lighthearted as you are about Justin I 01:41:51.800 --> 01:41:55.800 could uh have more availability to the 01:41:55.800 --> 01:42:01.000 feeling of the space and um but I'm I'm 01:42:01.000 --> 01:42:03.480 I'm not number crunching I'm thought 01:42:03.480 --> 01:42:05.920 crunching or I'm not doing that but I'm 01:42:05.920 --> 01:42:07.400 thinking oh my God there's a lot of 01:42:07.400 --> 01:42:08.960 thought crunching going on and I don't 01:42:08.960 --> 01:42:11.719 know how to do 01:42:15.320 --> 01:42:19.320 it that sounds like what uh Bonnie is 01:42:19.320 --> 01:42:22.040 doing with this present 01:42:22.040 --> 01:42:25.360 elaboration of all that you said 01:42:25.360 --> 01:42:29.199 recently so you're riding in the 01:42:41.080 --> 01:42:44.400 ballpark I'm going into h a Catholic 01:42:44.400 --> 01:42:47.760 mass in a few hours and I don't follow 01:42:47.760 --> 01:42:49.719 the politics of the Catholic church I do 01:42:49.719 --> 01:42:51.679 follow some of its 01:42:51.679 --> 01:42:55.199 principles uh but I love the recreation 01:42:55.199 --> 01:42:57.760 of the last supper and to me Christ is 01:42:57.760 --> 01:42:59.199 the same as 01:42:59.199 --> 01:43:02.639 Shiva perennial wisdom and 01:43:02.639 --> 01:43:06.320 whatnot but uh I was raised Catholic uh 01:43:06.320 --> 01:43:09.199 12 years an altar boy I was raised by my 01:43:09.199 --> 01:43:11.040 mother I was running around the house of 01:43:11.040 --> 01:43:12.440 the priest as she was taking care of the 01:43:12.440 --> 01:43:14.400 priest and the whole church I could have 01:43:14.400 --> 01:43:17.679 been a priest but she um but uh that 01:43:17.679 --> 01:43:20.199 wasn't my path but I go in and I 01:43:20.199 --> 01:43:22.560 meditate during the mass you know I I 01:43:22.560 --> 01:43:25.360 call it my Transcendent practice to 01:43:25.360 --> 01:43:27.080 participate uh from a different 01:43:27.080 --> 01:43:30.119 perspective and and so that's uh Marie 01:43:30.119 --> 01:43:31.520 was talking about that and everyone's 01:43:31.520 --> 01:43:34.440 talked about some of the Catholicism not 01:43:34.440 --> 01:43:38.679 everyone but uh uh so I practice it to a 01:43:38.679 --> 01:43:42.360 certain degree but as a a creation 01:43:42.360 --> 01:43:44.920 aspect of part of the greater whole of 01:43:44.920 --> 01:43:47.760 which went in that came from wherever it 01:43:47.760 --> 01:43:50.280 all came from uh the Big Bang or 01:43:50.280 --> 01:43:51.800 whatever 01:43:51.800 --> 01:43:54.360 and um to me it's part of the whole 01:43:54.360 --> 01:43:55.800 simulation of it 01:43:55.800 --> 01:43:58.800 all and we're all part of it from the 01:43:58.800 --> 01:44:00.960 big banger from whatever so it's not 01:44:00.960 --> 01:44:03.080 just we're absent little particles in it 01:44:03.080 --> 01:44:05.800 we're we're creating as we go along and 01:44:05.800 --> 01:44:08.599 yeah I agree there's no future tomorrow 01:44:08.599 --> 01:44:10.239 but we are creating that future with our 01:44:10.239 --> 01:44:12.760 own intentions and following the paths 01:44:12.760 --> 01:44:16.400 of the meaningful ques or the 01:44:16.400 --> 01:44:18.440 synchronicities that take us along 01:44:18.440 --> 01:44:21.000 according to my personal attention 01:44:21.000 --> 01:44:24.119 intentions anyway and or all all of our 01:44:24.119 --> 01:44:26.119 intentions whether or not they're 01:44:26.119 --> 01:44:30.159 concrete or not but anyway say Bonnie on 01:44:30.159 --> 01:44:32.480 on that next course is happening in the 01:44:32.480 --> 01:44:35.560 year uh are you participating in that 01:44:35.560 --> 01:44:39.000 too you said you not even sure you're 01:44:39.000 --> 01:44:41.159 invited what in the 01:44:41.159 --> 01:44:44.440 Retreats uh yeah those physical Retreats 01:44:44.440 --> 01:44:46.440 yeah but they're not courses I mean they 01:44:46.440 --> 01:44:48.880 look like courses well yeah 01:44:48.880 --> 01:44:51.719 because for people who who don't already 01:44:51.719 --> 01:44:54.480 know each other in the popup school like 01:44:54.480 --> 01:44:57.239 a lot of people okay so the big a big 01:44:57.239 --> 01:44:59.040 reason why it's there so everybody can 01:44:59.040 --> 01:45:00.840 go to Sky meow which is beautiful and 01:45:00.840 --> 01:45:03.159 hang out together but that's the draw 01:45:03.159 --> 01:45:05.239 because you are all already know each 01:45:05.239 --> 01:45:09.080 other to get people outside of the popup 01:45:09.080 --> 01:45:10.840 school to try to grow the community it 01:45:10.840 --> 01:45:12.960 has to sound a little bit more like 01:45:12.960 --> 01:45:15.080 there's some you know there's there is I 01:45:15.080 --> 01:45:16.840 mean we'll be doing what I said but it's 01:45:16.840 --> 01:45:18.920 not going to be more you know it's not 01:45:18.920 --> 01:45:21.360 going to be more like a it'll be much 01:45:21.360 --> 01:45:25.719 less like a course right um so 01:45:25.719 --> 01:45:28.599 um yeah no that's perfect yeah no that's 01:45:28.599 --> 01:45:31.040 perfect we'll form form our own creation 01:45:31.040 --> 01:45:33.280 story from it and that's helping me go 01:45:33.280 --> 01:45:34.920 into the bigger Circle which is where I 01:45:34.920 --> 01:45:37.280 want to go yeah we're not going into 01:45:37.280 --> 01:45:40.520 those retreats to continue this year's 01:45:40.520 --> 01:45:43.880 work we're going to look at whatever the 01:45:43.880 --> 01:45:47.599 natural state is um so just kind of 01:45:47.599 --> 01:45:49.800 learn you know gently attending to 01:45:49.800 --> 01:45:52.480 experience 01:45:52.920 --> 01:45:56.960 um yeah and doing some chanting and some 01:45:56.960 --> 01:46:00.520 movement work with Aaron and preparing 01:46:00.520 --> 01:46:02.760 food together breakfast and lunch will 01:46:02.760 --> 01:46:04.239 be preparing as a 01:46:04.239 --> 01:46:07.960 community um hanging out by the fire 01:46:07.960 --> 01:46:09.599 pit 01:46:09.599 --> 01:46:13.760 um and um we'll be doing some uh 01:46:13.760 --> 01:46:17.040 community-led practices in the afternoon 01:46:17.040 --> 01:46:20.080 session so if anybody has a practice 01:46:20.080 --> 01:46:24.040 that they want to um lead for the group 01:46:24.040 --> 01:46:26.000 they'll be able to do that things like 01:46:26.000 --> 01:46:30.239 that um much more open space than than 01:46:30.239 --> 01:46:31.080 uh 01:46:31.080 --> 01:46:32.719 actually 01:46:32.719 --> 01:46:36.119 um it's not it's definitely not a course 01:46:36.119 --> 01:46:37.880 um it's laid out as a course because if 01:46:37.880 --> 01:46:39.239 you're G to put up a website you want 01:46:39.239 --> 01:46:41.639 people to register for something it it 01:46:41.639 --> 01:46:43.320 it definitely needs to look like they're 01:46:43.320 --> 01:46:44.880 registering for something and it is 01:46:44.880 --> 01:46:47.080 something but yeah it's not more 01:46:47.080 --> 01:46:49.520 rigorous than this and certainly this 01:46:49.520 --> 01:46:51.520 year we you know you know the background 01:46:51.520 --> 01:46:54.679 materials were all experiential getting 01:46:54.679 --> 01:46:55.960 understanding what was happening in our 01:46:55.960 --> 01:46:59.840 body and this is the 01:46:59.840 --> 01:47:02.800 um this is 01:47:02.800 --> 01:47:04.560 the kind 01:47:04.560 --> 01:47:07.639 of artifact of creating trying to create 01:47:07.639 --> 01:47:09.599 new expressions of 01:47:09.599 --> 01:47:14.080 something um portions of 01:47:16.220 --> 01:47:17.440 [Music] 01:47:17.440 --> 01:47:21.000 it but yeah it's that of course it's say 01:47:21.000 --> 01:47:22.840 it's a it's a retreat for 01:47:22.840 --> 01:47:27.719 us perfect perfect thank 01:47:48.480 --> 01:47:52.840 you I may be off TB um who you were 01:47:52.840 --> 01:47:56.679 before you were becoming what you're 01:48:16.480 --> 01:48:21.480 becoming Phoebe did you hear hear that 01:48:21.480 --> 01:48:24.239 St I think Steve asked your 01:48:24.239 --> 01:48:27.239 question 01:48:46.599 --> 01:48:50.239 oh bunny I hope that what I said what 01:48:50.239 --> 01:48:52.560 wasn't 01:48:53.520 --> 01:48:55.719 insulting no I 01:48:55.719 --> 01:48:59.639 mean I get it like a lot of what goes on 01:48:59.639 --> 01:49:03.280 in this kind of conversation is we've 01:49:03.280 --> 01:49:05.639 all read the same thing so when we say 01:49:05.639 --> 01:49:08.360 this is like that it's a it's a quick 01:49:08.360 --> 01:49:11.000 metaphor you know like somebody can say 01:49:11.000 --> 01:49:14.520 oh that's like the statue at in the per 01:49:14.520 --> 01:49:17.080 in you know the square in Paris and it 01:49:17.080 --> 01:49:18.880 it wouldn't mean anything to me if it 01:49:18.880 --> 01:49:21.520 wasn't unpacked so there's a lot of that 01:49:21.520 --> 01:49:27.320 going on um but uh so it's obvious to me 01:49:27.320 --> 01:49:31.400 why these things don't land and it could 01:49:31.400 --> 01:49:35.639 be boring uh even worse than boring but 01:49:35.639 --> 01:49:37.880 I think that 01:49:37.880 --> 01:49:42.199 um hopefully the end product won't feel 01:49:42.199 --> 01:49:44.760 won't feel so when I what I'm going to 01:49:44.760 --> 01:49:49.119 try to do is is you know there will be 01:49:49.119 --> 01:49:51.400 some 01:49:51.400 --> 01:49:52.800 I don't know how I'm going to write it 01:49:52.800 --> 01:49:55.199 but I'm going to try to write it in such 01:49:55.199 --> 01:49:58.880 a way there will be some 01:49:58.880 --> 01:50:02.080 um signifiers like this but that it also 01:50:02.080 --> 01:50:04.599 has a message that might land in other 01:50:04.599 --> 01:50:07.719 ways I don't know it's it's not it's not 01:50:07.719 --> 01:50:11.320 easy to uh I don't I can't imagine the 01:50:11.320 --> 01:50:13.480 book I can just write it and then see 01:50:13.480 --> 01:50:14.440 what 01:50:14.440 --> 01:50:17.440 happens 01:50:17.560 --> 01:50:20.239 um the thing is there's a lot of people 01:50:20.239 --> 01:50:22.199 that have been writing origin stories 01:50:22.199 --> 01:50:24.199 especially 01:50:24.199 --> 01:50:27.440 recently and it's interesting 01:50:27.440 --> 01:50:31.119 phenomenon uh like Marie said the people 01:50:31.119 --> 01:50:33.400 in Italy have an origin story it's very 01:50:33.400 --> 01:50:36.280 simple it gets paired down over time you 01:50:36.280 --> 01:50:38.280 know it's actually gets simpler over 01:50:38.280 --> 01:50:39.920 time 01:50:39.920 --> 01:50:44.239 um and and it works 01:50:44.639 --> 01:50:48.719 and yeah it's interesting to me about 01:50:48.719 --> 01:50:51.400 origin stories 01:50:51.400 --> 01:50:53.440 or Charles eisenstein you know we need a 01:50:53.440 --> 01:50:54.599 new 01:50:54.599 --> 01:50:57.599 story 01:51:15.880 --> 01:51:19.280 um I don't know if the story here 01:51:19.280 --> 01:51:22.239 actually works s but it has currency and 01:51:22.239 --> 01:51:28.040 that's what is kind of the thing that is 01:51:28.040 --> 01:51:32.400 um curious for me like walking into 01:51:32.400 --> 01:51:36.360 churches and that were not easy to 01:51:36.360 --> 01:51:41.159 build um and and people there enacting 01:51:41.159 --> 01:51:45.320 ritual in a way that feels as though it 01:51:45.320 --> 01:51:48.000 has strong 01:51:48.040 --> 01:51:50.560 meaning um 01:51:50.560 --> 01:51:54.360 still today you know 01:51:56.360 --> 01:51:59.440 after after so much time has passed so 01:51:59.440 --> 01:52:02.119 how H how that kind of resonance gets 01:52:02.119 --> 01:52:06.679 passed on is I'm really curious about 01:52:06.960 --> 01:52:11.520 it and and I think also what Phoebe said 01:52:11.520 --> 01:52:13.920 I mean it's totally resonant for me in 01:52:13.920 --> 01:52:16.440 the sense 01:52:16.440 --> 01:52:18.880 that I 01:52:18.880 --> 01:52:20.719 mean 01:52:20.719 --> 01:52:26.599 I used to feel like I had a coherent 01:52:26.599 --> 01:52:31.280 worldview um or a sense 01:52:31.280 --> 01:52:35.320 of um you know the way what I knew and 01:52:35.320 --> 01:52:38.159 how I knew it sort of fit together in a 01:52:38.159 --> 01:52:40.440 in a coherent way 01:52:40.440 --> 01:52:43.440 and 01:52:47.280 --> 01:52:51.040 um and I I I think think what goes on 01:52:51.040 --> 01:52:54.960 for me and here I know 01:52:54.960 --> 01:52:58.760 for Ry and I both oftentimes the 01:52:58.760 --> 01:53:03.880 conversation post popup school class is 01:53:03.880 --> 01:53:06.360 like did you 01:53:06.360 --> 01:53:10.560 understand what people were on about 01:53:10.560 --> 01:53:16.520 there and and oftentimes it's the answer 01:53:16.679 --> 01:53:20.840 is um not so much 01:53:20.840 --> 01:53:23.400 or a little bit here I got this thread 01:53:23.400 --> 01:53:26.000 or I didn't get that thread or this 01:53:26.000 --> 01:53:28.880 resonated for me or that 01:53:28.880 --> 01:53:33.000 didn't and and and yet I think this has 01:53:33.000 --> 01:53:36.880 been said by others around how there's 01:53:36.880 --> 01:53:38.679 there's something 01:53:38.679 --> 01:53:43.440 underlying that is 01:53:44.360 --> 01:53:49.199 um more more significant that is you 01:53:49.199 --> 01:53:51.880 know that I think we we 01:53:51.880 --> 01:53:57.079 tap and um and and that sense of things 01:53:57.079 --> 01:54:00.159 coming in and out of 01:54:00.159 --> 01:54:03.520 focus or in and out of coherence feels 01:54:03.520 --> 01:54:07.599 like a part of the experience of having 01:54:07.599 --> 01:54:10.599 let go of I don't know if you will an 01:54:10.599 --> 01:54:14.440 old story or an old sense of I got this 01:54:14.440 --> 01:54:17.719 I know I know something and letting go 01:54:17.719 --> 01:54:22.560 of that and and and then kind of in that 01:54:22.560 --> 01:54:26.480 unraveling sort of trying to 01:54:26.480 --> 01:54:28.119 know 01:54:28.119 --> 01:54:31.000 differently and and I I always come back 01:54:31.000 --> 01:54:32.800 to how 01:54:32.800 --> 01:54:36.920 here the the invitation ultimately is 01:54:36.920 --> 01:54:40.079 to um know ourselves and know our 01:54:40.079 --> 01:54:42.880 experience know self other 01:54:42.880 --> 01:54:44.639 world 01:54:44.639 --> 01:54:48.199 differently um than we're used to like 01:54:48.199 --> 01:54:51.239 and sometimes it's a 01:54:51.239 --> 01:54:52.350 weird 01:54:52.350 --> 01:54:53.599 [Music] 01:54:53.599 --> 01:54:57.679 um uh I can't say the word right now 01:54:57.679 --> 01:55:00.920 aoral experience of 01:55:00.920 --> 01:55:05.040 like where it 01:55:05.159 --> 01:55:07.560 comes because there are things that I 01:55:07.560 --> 01:55:10.400 know that still I still can know them 01:55:10.400 --> 01:55:12.520 like it's not like you throw the baby 01:55:12.520 --> 01:55:14.960 out with the bath water it's like but it 01:55:14.960 --> 01:55:17.040 it's sort of like their are currents of 01:55:17.040 --> 01:55:19.400 things that come through and it's like 01:55:19.400 --> 01:55:21.320 oh yeah that's really familiar I know 01:55:21.320 --> 01:55:23.639 that and I can trust 01:55:23.639 --> 01:55:26.520 it and then and then it slips to 01:55:26.520 --> 01:55:30.000 something I don't know so well and or 01:55:30.000 --> 01:55:37.800 new language or I don't know um that's 01:55:37.800 --> 01:55:40.400 just 01:55:40.400 --> 01:55:43.440 um that's just kind of my dance with it 01:55:43.440 --> 01:55:44.480 with it 01:55:44.480 --> 01:55:46.960 all I just before we go to Matt I just 01:55:46.960 --> 01:55:51.599 want to say also like part of it is 01:55:51.840 --> 01:55:54.679 the you know things that we've read but 01:55:54.679 --> 01:55:57.280 also part of it is like we'll be in the 01:55:57.280 --> 01:55:59.520 middle of this thing we were last time 01:55:59.520 --> 01:56:00.880 and we're all talking about this and 01:56:00.880 --> 01:56:04.520 then and then uh because I just want to 01:56:04.520 --> 01:56:06.360 I want just want to separate the fact 01:56:06.360 --> 01:56:08.440 that there's some cognitive signifiers 01:56:08.440 --> 01:56:10.760 that are very intellectual versus what's 01:56:10.760 --> 01:56:13.119 actually going on here also and that is 01:56:13.119 --> 01:56:15.000 we'll be in the middle of something and 01:56:15.000 --> 01:56:17.040 then Kevin will say you know that's like 01:56:17.040 --> 01:56:19.199 when Wy coyote is chasing the Road 01:56:19.199 --> 01:56:20.719 Runner and he takes the paint and he 01:56:20.719 --> 01:56:22.960 paints a c he paints a cave and he runs 01:56:22.960 --> 01:56:25.560 through it and Riley cut okay that's not 01:56:25.560 --> 01:56:28.400 very sophisticated language but you're 01:56:28.400 --> 01:56:32.719 trying to like follow these leaps so so 01:56:32.719 --> 01:56:34.639 I mean part of the problem is following 01:56:34.639 --> 01:56:37.280 these leaps and then the secondary 01:56:37.280 --> 01:56:39.320 problem with what we just T what we just 01:56:39.320 --> 01:56:41.960 got into was more of using these 01:56:41.960 --> 01:56:44.400 intellectual signifiers I get that but 01:56:44.400 --> 01:56:48.079 it's also difficult to follow like why 01:56:48.079 --> 01:56:50.719 is that relevant like like if I was just 01:56:50.719 --> 01:56:54.079 an intellectual pundit I'd be like why 01:56:54.079 --> 01:56:56.560 is that even relevant like but I like 01:56:56.560 --> 01:56:59.599 it's it's it's being trying to be able 01:56:59.599 --> 01:57:03.480 to this is a collective mind and this 01:57:03.480 --> 01:57:04.880 would never that would have never 01:57:04.880 --> 01:57:07.760 happened in my mind and maybe in phoe's 01:57:07.760 --> 01:57:09.760 mind what Justin said would never have 01:57:09.760 --> 01:57:13.360 happened or like and the whole point is 01:57:13.360 --> 01:57:17.679 is to imagine that this is being popped 01:57:17.679 --> 01:57:20.679 this stuff is popping up into your mind 01:57:20.679 --> 01:57:23.679 your mind not from other people and that 01:57:23.679 --> 01:57:25.960 will rewire your mind whether you 01:57:25.960 --> 01:57:28.560 understand it or not I mean like what 01:57:28.560 --> 01:57:30.599 like so 01:57:30.599 --> 01:57:34.760 so um that's part that's that's part of 01:57:34.760 --> 01:57:38.280 the the process is all this all this 01:57:38.280 --> 01:57:43.000 stuff is is in our Collective mind so um 01:57:43.000 --> 01:57:46.000 some people might not have understood 01:57:46.000 --> 01:57:49.960 why Kevin Kevin said what he did 01:57:49.960 --> 01:57:51.679 why does that make a connection I don't 01:57:51.679 --> 01:57:56.000 know um but again there's two levels 01:57:56.000 --> 01:57:58.239 then 01:57:58.480 --> 01:58:00.920 there's if if you had never seen the 01:58:00.920 --> 01:58:03.199 Road Runner and he said it really fast 01:58:03.199 --> 01:58:05.000 you would have never even have a chance 01:58:05.000 --> 01:58:07.480 of understanding why what he said may 01:58:07.480 --> 01:58:08.800 fit into the 01:58:08.800 --> 01:58:12.360 conversation um but um if you've never 01:58:12.360 --> 01:58:15.840 read like when I say Brendan gmy and his 01:58:15.840 --> 01:58:18.440 emergences there's a lot already packed 01:58:18.440 --> 01:58:20.040 into that that is part of the 01:58:20.040 --> 01:58:23.320 conversation that just it doesn't it's 01:58:23.320 --> 01:58:26.159 like never having seen the Road Runner I 01:58:26.159 --> 01:58:27.679 I spent a lot of time thinking about 01:58:27.679 --> 01:58:30.000 that by the way in one of my 18-hour 01:58:30.000 --> 01:58:32.639 naps I was thinking about the role of 01:58:32.639 --> 01:58:35.800 the an animator of course that's how the 01:58:35.800 --> 01:58:37.920 animator would think about creativity 01:58:37.920 --> 01:58:40.719 because he's he's drawing something and 01:58:40.719 --> 01:58:42.719 it it's creating a reality so why can't 01:58:42.719 --> 01:58:44.199 the thing he's drawing and create a 01:58:44.199 --> 01:58:46.560 reality that's part of reality that's I 01:58:46.560 --> 01:58:51.320 mean it was great Matthew 01:58:52.400 --> 01:58:55.920 did you get the Road Runner thing 01:58:56.639 --> 01:58:59.440 Matthew yeah 01:58:59.440 --> 01:59:01.719 yeah 01:59:01.719 --> 01:59:05.480 uh but 01:59:05.480 --> 01:59:09.679 like like I I don't know I don't know I 01:59:09.679 --> 01:59:12.520 think so like I get I get it but also I 01:59:12.520 --> 01:59:15.239 can see how it could be a different way 01:59:15.239 --> 01:59:18.000 than I the way I get it so I don't know 01:59:18.000 --> 01:59:21.239 but um 01:59:23.840 --> 01:59:26.880 uh yeah I I thought of two things I 01:59:26.880 --> 01:59:29.360 think the first thing 01:59:29.360 --> 01:59:32.719 was yeah like like phebe I definitely 01:59:32.719 --> 01:59:34.679 recently for sure have been feeling I I 01:59:34.679 --> 01:59:37.119 think similar 01:59:37.119 --> 01:59:40.440 um uh but today this morning when we 01:59:40.440 --> 01:59:42.199 just started I think I 01:59:42.199 --> 01:59:44.560 realized you know people were talking 01:59:44.560 --> 01:59:48.599 and I was kind of like not understanding 01:59:48.599 --> 01:59:51.040 and I just kind of had a little mini 01:59:51.040 --> 01:59:54.040 Insight of like it really occurred to 01:59:54.040 --> 01:59:56.440 me more than I've like I've 01:59:56.440 --> 01:59:58.280 intellectually thought this before but I 01:59:58.280 --> 02:00:00.679 kind of am starting to realize it 02:00:00.679 --> 02:00:03.320 now that how 02:00:03.320 --> 02:00:06.840 different other people's experiences and 02:00:06.840 --> 02:00:09.679 ways they think can 02:00:09.679 --> 02:00:12.719 be like that I don't know that just 02:00:12.719 --> 02:00:15.400 really occurred to me was like oh like 02:00:15.400 --> 02:00:20.760 other people really do see think 02:00:20.760 --> 02:00:25.960 feel differently or they can so that was 02:00:25.960 --> 02:00:28.960 interesting 02:00:29.199 --> 02:00:34.119 um and then I guess the other thought I 02:00:34.119 --> 02:00:36.800 had was like oh yeah like I think 02:00:36.800 --> 02:00:39.320 JJ I remember he came on once and I 02:00:39.320 --> 02:00:42.000 think he'd be he'd been gone for a while 02:00:42.000 --> 02:00:43.480 and I think he said like oh yeah you 02:00:43.480 --> 02:00:44.920 just took a little break and that was 02:00:44.920 --> 02:00:48.760 really nice and I know for me like just 02:00:48.760 --> 02:00:51.520 yeah taking breaks from things help just 02:00:51.520 --> 02:00:54.400 kind of reorient you don't feel it you 02:00:54.400 --> 02:00:57.800 don't feel it I 02:01:03.719 --> 02:01:06.800 know I wonder when you say that we're 02:01:06.800 --> 02:01:09.480 all part of a collective mind I mean 02:01:09.480 --> 02:01:11.560 maybe there's a larger human Collective 02:01:11.560 --> 02:01:14.159 mind and there's a collective 02:01:14.159 --> 02:01:17.480 here and I wonder whether the Road 02:01:17.480 --> 02:01:22.560 Runner jumping into to Kevin's 02:01:22.560 --> 02:01:26.920 mind you know it's a it's part 02:01:26.920 --> 02:01:29.480 of what's sort 02:01:29.480 --> 02:01:32.800 of streaming through the collective here 02:01:32.800 --> 02:01:34.480 it's showing up for some people in terms 02:01:34.480 --> 02:01:37.320 of their associations with intellectual 02:01:37.320 --> 02:01:41.719 material that they've are familiar with 02:01:41.719 --> 02:01:45.199 um and 02:01:45.639 --> 02:01:49.119 uh and I like the idea that if there is 02:01:49.119 --> 02:01:51.320 if we're all together participating in 02:01:51.320 --> 02:01:54.520 something that I mean I like Justin's 02:01:54.520 --> 02:01:56.920 idea that you know just you just hang in 02:01:56.920 --> 02:01:58.520 there and see what 02:01:58.520 --> 02:02:01.599 resonates um I had a I was trying to 02:02:01.599 --> 02:02:04.679 figure out make a decision this morning 02:02:04.679 --> 02:02:09.159 about um which stove to buy from my 02:02:09.159 --> 02:02:11.320 house that I'm used to live in and I'm 02:02:11.320 --> 02:02:15.599 now renting and so I decided to use 02:02:15.599 --> 02:02:18.320 drawing because I couldn't figure it out 02:02:18.320 --> 02:02:19.719 in my mind 02:02:19.719 --> 02:02:23.760 so I I went to the paper and I 02:02:23.760 --> 02:02:25.520 immediately started to 02:02:25.520 --> 02:02:29.400 cry because what there was before I even 02:02:29.400 --> 02:02:30.400 drew 02:02:30.400 --> 02:02:34.719 the p uh the stove was my relationship 02:02:34.719 --> 02:02:36.040 with the 02:02:36.040 --> 02:02:40.920 house and um if ID stayed in my 02:02:40.920 --> 02:02:42.920 thinking I wouldn't 02:02:42.920 --> 02:02:45.880 have realized that that there's this 02:02:45.880 --> 02:02:50.119 huge current underneath this indecision 02:02:50.119 --> 02:02:52.599 of I have to let this house 02:02:52.599 --> 02:02:56.119 go and the feeling of of of the house 02:02:56.119 --> 02:02:58.440 because I was going to do something with 02:02:58.440 --> 02:03:01.400 a crayon and a piece of paper I was 02:03:01.400 --> 02:03:03.360 coming physical then I got the the 02:03:03.360 --> 02:03:06.520 physical experience of my my 02:03:06.520 --> 02:03:08.159 relationship to the 02:03:08.159 --> 02:03:14.320 house and um so I bring that in 02:03:14.880 --> 02:03:17.000 because you know that's another way of 02:03:17.000 --> 02:03:20.880 knowing that is 02:03:20.880 --> 02:03:27.119 operative um I mostly find that's where 02:03:27.119 --> 02:03:29.760 things that's a very active way for me 02:03:29.760 --> 02:03:32.079 to to know what I 02:03:32.079 --> 02:03:34.719 know and then I decided you know what I 02:03:34.719 --> 02:03:36.079 don't want to make this decision about 02:03:36.079 --> 02:03:39.880 the Stu I'm gonna let the house make the 02:03:39.880 --> 02:03:45.000 decision so it did I do both stoves and 02:03:45.000 --> 02:03:47.199 I said okay house which one do you want 02:03:47.199 --> 02:03:50.760 this one 02:03:50.760 --> 02:03:53.880 so anyways I I I like the idea that 02:03:53.880 --> 02:03:57.079 we're participating together and that 02:03:57.079 --> 02:03:58.360 we're all 02:03:58.360 --> 02:04:01.360 bringing 02:04:01.440 --> 02:04:05.159 different sensitivity sensibilities and 02:04:05.159 --> 02:04:08.119 that things are moving through us and 02:04:08.119 --> 02:04:10.880 that I don't have 02:04:10.880 --> 02:04:15.159 to try to make my mind bend the way it 02:04:15.159 --> 02:04:16.760 doesn't want to 02:04:16.760 --> 02:04:19.320 bend and uh 02:04:19.320 --> 02:04:21.920 when I was I was I actually took one 02:04:21.920 --> 02:04:24.960 semester of a PhD course and then was 02:04:24.960 --> 02:04:26.960 online and I I didn't want to do it and 02:04:26.960 --> 02:04:28.599 it was at California Institute of 02:04:28.599 --> 02:04:30.800 integral studies in transformation and 02:04:30.800 --> 02:04:32.960 change or something like that and we 02:04:32.960 --> 02:04:35.000 were asked to compare these different 02:04:35.000 --> 02:04:39.079 articles and I couldn't do it I couldn't 02:04:39.079 --> 02:04:43.079 read different articles and then on the 02:04:43.079 --> 02:04:46.000 surface interrelate 02:04:46.000 --> 02:04:49.559 them I I couldn't my mind couldn't 02:04:49.559 --> 02:04:52.400 hold them in this sort of generalized 02:04:52.400 --> 02:04:55.960 way or or so I would dive into an 02:04:55.960 --> 02:04:59.239 article and then be in relationship with 02:04:59.239 --> 02:05:01.559 what was there and then dive into 02:05:01.559 --> 02:05:03.360 another article and so it's from the 02:05:03.360 --> 02:05:05.880 inter relationship that things started 02:05:05.880 --> 02:05:08.320 to weave and and meaning was made but I 02:05:08.320 --> 02:05:11.360 couldn't just do it on the surface so 02:05:11.360 --> 02:05:13.000 now that I'm getting older I'm like oh 02:05:13.000 --> 02:05:14.719 good I'll let that one 02:05:14.719 --> 02:05:18.040 go I'm probably getting lazy too but 02:05:18.040 --> 02:05:20.079 anyways that's a about 02:05:20.079 --> 02:05:23.360 me I also want to say another thing I 02:05:23.360 --> 02:05:25.880 mean I think one of the 02:05:25.880 --> 02:05:29.400 things that we are actually practicing 02:05:29.400 --> 02:05:34.159 here um us intellectuals those who 02:05:34.159 --> 02:05:37.000 who shot off a lot of intellectual 02:05:37.000 --> 02:05:39.760 pieces what might consider intellectual 02:05:39.760 --> 02:05:43.400 is in no sense does anyone I don't sense 02:05:43.400 --> 02:05:46.159 it and I'm sure pretty sure I would say 02:05:46.159 --> 02:05:49.400 sure that there was no usure for this 02:05:49.400 --> 02:05:52.159 thing to line up perfectly like whatever 02:05:52.159 --> 02:05:54.119 Steve said and then Kimberly said and 02:05:54.119 --> 02:05:56.239 then Jessica said about we weren't 02:05:56.239 --> 02:05:59.559 trying to line them up we weren't being 02:05:59.559 --> 02:06:01.760 theoretic about our intellectual 02:06:01.760 --> 02:06:04.040 statements we were being lyric it was 02:06:04.040 --> 02:06:06.159 just like oh that's just we our 02:06:06.159 --> 02:06:08.440 relationship was that they hung in the 02:06:08.440 --> 02:06:12.639 space just like just like uh 02:06:12.639 --> 02:06:15.559 Kevin's uh uh Road Runner thing hung in 02:06:15.559 --> 02:06:19.199 the space and that's different than an a 02:06:19.199 --> 02:06:21.639 traditional philosophic theoretic where 02:06:21.639 --> 02:06:23.960 he says something and then we're driving 02:06:23.960 --> 02:06:26.000 it home and I'm comparing to what he 02:06:26.000 --> 02:06:29.040 said we're just we're just allowing 02:06:29.040 --> 02:06:32.480 these to be creative in this space so 02:06:32.480 --> 02:06:36.920 and there's not a uh 02:06:36.920 --> 02:06:41.360 um there's no none of that what that we 02:06:41.360 --> 02:06:45.400 aren't holding the intellectual 02:06:45.400 --> 02:06:49.639 artifacts in a kind of Newtonian linear 02:06:49.639 --> 02:06:54.159 narrative um if I we couldn't even go 02:06:54.159 --> 02:06:56.320 and say well this is what we said we're 02:06:56.320 --> 02:06:58.960 not build so so that's what I think 02:06:58.960 --> 02:07:01.159 we're all doing 02:07:01.159 --> 02:07:05.000 um which is different than um if you've 02:07:05.000 --> 02:07:07.719 been to you know the Symposium I've been 02:07:07.719 --> 02:07:10.400 to where 02:07:11.079 --> 02:07:13.800 like they're actually theore 02:07:13.800 --> 02:07:16.079 philosophical theoretical Pursuits where 02:07:16.079 --> 02:07:19.400 you're trying to 02:07:19.400 --> 02:07:22.079 I don't know what you're trying to do 02:07:22.079 --> 02:07:24.159 trying to put constructs together in a 02:07:24.159 --> 02:07:27.079 nice linear fashion and build something 02:07:27.079 --> 02:07:28.320 very 02:07:28.320 --> 02:07:32.400 tidy um yeah so in that sense we're 02:07:32.400 --> 02:07:34.360 doing the same same thing Matthew do you 02:07:34.360 --> 02:07:36.599 have a hands up or was that an artifact 02:07:36.599 --> 02:07:39.119 from the past it's an artifact from the 02:07:39.119 --> 02:07:41.480 past see 02:07:41.480 --> 02:07:43.840 that okay my friends thanks for bringing 02:07:43.840 --> 02:07:49.079 it up Phoebe it's it's another wrap for 02:07:49.079 --> 02:07:50.360 this 02:07:50.360 --> 02:07:53.320 um this this module I think you'll find 02:07:53.320 --> 02:07:56.280 the next module uh 02:07:56.280 --> 02:07:59.920 more uh kind of understandable the third 02:07:59.920 --> 02:08:03.360 one on the moral animal is going to be 02:08:03.360 --> 02:08:06.360 uh a big one but it's more 02:08:06.360 --> 02:08:10.119 about um 02:08:10.119 --> 02:08:13.199 sharing you know what are Moral Moral 02:08:13.199 --> 02:08:16.400 Junctions that we've had in our lives um 02:08:16.400 --> 02:08:18.520 do we have a moral code is do we really 02:08:18.520 --> 02:08:20.960 have a moral code do I really like chws 02:08:20.960 --> 02:08:23.079 based on a certain morality I don't know 02:08:23.079 --> 02:08:24.400 we're going to examine our own 02:08:24.400 --> 02:08:26.840 relationship to to 02:08:26.840 --> 02:08:29.800 morality um the next two are I mean 02:08:29.800 --> 02:08:33.760 Origins is a very yeah we've discovered 02:08:33.760 --> 02:08:36.559 it's a very FAL or 02:08:36.559 --> 02:08:41.559 elusive uh topic so um if nothing else 02:08:41.559 --> 02:08:44.159 it's very curious because we all been 02:08:44.159 --> 02:08:46.960 told origin stories there's all cultures 02:08:46.960 --> 02:08:50.760 built on them and uh there s kinds of 02:08:50.760 --> 02:08:53.400 things so I thank you for sticking with 02:08:53.400 --> 02:08:57.800 us and um see you I guess we start again 02:08:57.800 --> 02:09:00.840 on Saturday because we we have this late 02:09:00.840 --> 02:09:05.320 class okay thank you very much it's so 02:09:05.440 --> 02:09:08.440 wrap
