Sometimes clicking on a heart doesnât convey enough. Doug, thank you for making me, and I think and know and see many others as well, feel seen and heard. God bless you!
I love your video summaries, Doug, giving a kind of capsule understanding of the site and our diverse contributions. Awesome synthesis in an integral spirit!
~02:50 How does one spell symmathesy?
Did I nail it? That sounds lovely interesting!
I feel so bad/sad/mad that I wasnât able to be a part of the Bateson reading group at this time. It is really so salient to my ongoing theme/work. Iâm hoping to find a way to plug in as a latecomer and mine all your (groupâs) brilliant commentary⊠@Douggins if you have any thoughts on highlights for me (or for a newbie to those meetups in general), where would you point us to? Which posts & videos?
I really like how these videos of yours, Doug, seem to help braid our different threads together⊠it really does, as @Gennifrey_Edwards says, give us a kind of âconception capsuleâ of Cosmos as a whole at this time. Thanks Doug for looking to Cosmosâ whole and how its whole mind may be evolving! Love the theme of our braiding â Andrewâs ideas, my ideas, Bateson, etc. â that you express so poetically in this video. Thank you for another great episode
âWeâre writers and we write each otherâŠâ beautiful imaginalings
Yes, indeed, « symmathesy », @care_save ! (Although at first I read, « how does one smell symmathesy? » which I thought to be also an eminently reasonable question!)
Wow, can scarcely believe I had such good luck with that first crack spelling! Very neat word! At least I can spell it, if not smell it, for the momentâŠ
Thanks for doing this, Doug! I appreciate your observation about people being here because they want something âmoreâ to happen. I am really curious about this âmore.â I know I have my own âmoreâ, but I wonder about the collective âmoreâ.
How can I mesh with us mesh with all-of-us in ways the enhance each fractal expression along with the whole? I do feel this community at its best is a learning communityâsymmathesy in action. What can we envision (and actually create) together based on our processes of learning?
I still have a lot of catching up do with the threads, but this was a helpful encapsulation of recent discussions. Thanks again!
