Taught to delight
“You’ve got to be taught” goes the song from South Pacific. You’ve got to be taught to separate yourself from Mamma, from Poppa, and from the world out there. So our efforts to self transcendence are in the nature of reminding that we are part of the whole, can live in delight, don’t need an egotistic ego. We can remember the things our English language is designed to keep out of our mouths.

Halt lead blind
If we are going beyond ourselves it is well we go with another. The halt can lead the blind!

“It’s too hard”
“It’s too hard” is not a valid reason to not try and see. We may get part way there, which could surprise those people!
:- Doug.
Mind map together
Construct a mind map together. What subject? Community? A joint philosophy, say each writes one true statement about life, spirituality, the body-mind problem/interface? What we together believe is true and startling to put into words? What we should do together?
:- Doug.
