Seed Questions
-
Can We learn to walk through the Terror of the Threshold between Many & One?
-
What is the difference and/or similarity between Organic repetition (Seasonal, Biorhythms, Planting, etc), Mechanized repetition (Clocks, Wheels, Calendars,etc.) & Where is the Feeling in our Lived Experience?
-
Doesn’t it seem We’ve been Dropped/Fallen into the Middle of a Soap Opera & the Feeling of Being in the Middle is the Beginning/End of Lived Experience? So Why Not Relax Into Playing with the Music?
Agenda
From Greg Thomas’s insight from Jazz on Conflict: “Play Behind the Beat”(Lester Young).
Instead of anticipating,
playing ahead of the beat …
take
a
pause…
play behind the beat
before you react
from the reptilian limbic system
Give a more Soulful response as opposed to
An Ego reaction.
