I can't produce "proof" that is meaningful and accessible to "others", especially if they expertly maintain skeptical views witin the subjective infinities of their awareness -- but I can conduct live, real-time exploratory dialogues on the phone or in person that can lead many people within half an hour into novel epanded states of awareness -- free, and if you record the audio or video, it belongs totally to you only. Lively Communion -- invoking mutual meditative exploration 2001.06.22 2009.12.27: Rich Murray http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rmforall/messages/1 Rich Murray Room For All rmforall at comcast.net 1943 Otowi Road, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87505 505-501-2298 1. INTRODUCTION: We now join in exploring the co-creation of an open ended process of mutual meditative exploration. We call this Lively Communion. God. That word. May it refer to something real, to our actual experience. As fabled lovers leap from terra firma into abyss, we hold mental hands and fall together into openness, into space, into the intimate unknown, into peace, bliss, and power. Naturally, it is effortless, spontaneous, yet surprising and vigorous, a white water rafting of two souls. We journey, mostly, with open eyes, and open "I's". And, most humanly, we talk and talk -- but mainly about what is happening right now. .. This is Lively Communion. Let us agree to cooperate in allowing it to happen now, in this very writing and reading. 2. FRAMING: "Let's sit together for a while, and join in a mutual process of meditative exploration. We call it Lively Communion. "The idea is to look into each other's eyes or into a mirror together in a relaxed, informal way, while allowing our situation to evolve in its own best way. We just describe to each other, back and forth, some of the things we start to see and experience. "So, let's agree to just relax together and let anything emerge. When something changes in our situation, just let go into it and let it evolve naturally in its own way. We tell each other some of what we experience and see, as it happens. "Have you ever done anything like this before, looking into someone's eyes or into a mirror, and having new and surprising kinds of experiences?" "It's OK to blink, glance away, laugh, react,and have all kinds of feelings and thoughts. This isn't anything rigid, heavy, tight, or serious. The idea is to maintain comfortable visual contact while appreciating the experiences we share. It's fun. It's easy and natural. What you feel and how you happen to be each moment are fine with me." The guide uses these initial suggestions, proposals, agreements, invocations, and reassurances to gently and agreeably frame a new kind of meditative exploration with the partner. The strategy is to invoke, without being very specific, the expectation that somehow something new, pleasant, and interesting will transpire. In fact, LC can within minutes become surprising, exciting, and profound. It is better to let the partner discover this in their actual process, rather than proclaim it at the get-go. The guide adapts to the very unique traits and needs of the partner, as the situation develops from moment to moment. The guide expects the unexpected, always, always, always..... _______________________________________________ Rich Murray, MA Boston University Graduate School 1967 psychology, BS MIT 1964, history and physics, 1943 Otowi Road, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87505 505-501-2298 rmforall at comcast.net http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AstroDeep/messages http://RMForAll.blogspot.com new primary archive http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aspartameNM/messages group with 148 members, 1,613 posts in a public archive http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aspartame/messages group with 1215 members, 24,105 posts in a public archive http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rmforall/messages participant, Santa Fe Complex www.sfcomplex.org _______________________________________________ Received on Sun 17 Oct 2010 10:15:19 PM PDT |
