Agatha Macbeth: Ah - the four worlds
Eliza Madrigal: let's give just a few minutes and then am excited from Bruce and Blake
--BELL--
Bruce Mowbray: kk.
Aphrodite Macbain: Bruce and Blake!
Agatha Macbeth: Very archetypal
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: Aggers you're too far
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bruce Mowbray: Indeed it is, aggers!
Agatha Macbeth: Too far gone?
Eliza Madrigal smiles

Being a creature of habit, I stayed where I was :p

Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: aww
Eliza Madrigal: sounds lovely Mick
Eliza Madrigal: Okay Bruce, whenever you feel ready ^.^
Mickorod Renard: it is, i sneaked away to a spare bedroom but they found me
Agatha Macbeth: I really like that picture
Eliza Madrigal: :))

Milton and Blake (and some confusion on my part)

Bruce Mowbray: ok. Here goes:
Bruce Mowbray: Gettin much lag today . . . heavy rains right now.
Bruce Mowbray: Maxine refers to Wm. Blake’s two-book poem “Milton” in this section of her book.
Bruce Mowbray: More specifically, she writes of “Milton’s Track” – which is a path of mental and spiritual awakening and cleansing.
Bruce Mowbray: In Blake’s illustration of “Milton’s Track,” Milton enters the picture at the bottom right, through the sphere of “Urizen” (the big poster I built just for this session):
Bruce Mowbray: http://bq.blakearchive.org/img/illus...detail.300.jpg
Bruce Mowbray: Urizen is the false priest of Natural Religion who baptizes Milton with the icy waters of rationality.
Aphrodite Macbain: Your reson
Bruce Mowbray: Milton’s path takes him “sleep-walking” upwardly through the spheres of INSTINCT (“Tharmas”) and PASSION (“Luvah”) and into the top-most sphere IMAGINATION (“Urthona”).
Bruce Mowbray: Finally, his perception is “cleansed” through imagination’s reconciliation of the “struggling contraries” within himself.
Bruce Mowbray: “Milton’s Track” depicts the progress of the “archetypal man” (“Albion”) toward imagination’s creative vision of harmony among the mental spheres of reason, instinct, and passion.
Bruce Mowbray: Blake’s vision is one imagination’s harmonious reconciliation among opposites – not one of its victory over opposites.
Bruce Mowbray: That would have been the end of my report,
Bruce Mowbray: but first I'd like to quote someone:
Bruce Mowbray: This vision seems remarkably compatible with the centering thought that Eliza used in her meditation that preceded this session: Gone, and a million things leave no trace Loosed, and it flows through the galaxies A fountain of light, into the very mind-- Not a thing, and yet it appears before me: Now I know the pearl of the Buddha-nature Know its use: a boundless perfect sphere. - Han-Shan, circa 63
Bruce Mowbray: [done]

Eliza Madrigal: wow nice, Bruce.... quite an elevation and really helpful
Mickorod Renard: how beautiful..all of it Bruce ty
Bruce Mowbray: ty.
Aphrodite Macbain: thanks Bruce- it helps understand Maxine's text
Agatha Macbeth: So Milton was doing Jung before Jung was
Bruce Mowbray: Sounds like it, aggers.
Eliza Madrigal: we've come back to fragmentation and illumination a lot in PaB
Eliza Madrigal: but more so in trying to articulate our personal heroes journeys or what have you
Aphrodite Macbain: I wonder whether Blake considers imagination and instinct as opposites (the way reason and passion are)
Agatha Macbeth: Blake I meant...where did I get Milton from?
Aphrodite Macbain: MIlton's path
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: or track
Agatha Macbeth is confused
Bruce Mowbray: I felt that Milton considered imagination to be opposite to reason -- but more a reconciliation than a conflicting force.
Eliza Madrigal: seems imagination is on a bit of a pedestal ... even if the picture has it in an equal plane of contrast?
Aphrodite Macbain: Interesting-and I wonder where instinct fits
Bruce Mowbray: Blake is the illustrator of "Milton's Track," aggers.
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Bruce Mowbray: I hope that Maxine will talk more about instinct and passion.
Agatha Macbeth: So who did the picture?
Aphrodite Macbain: Blake
Agatha Macbeth: Right
Agatha Macbeth: Ty

Takes time, but I got there in the end...

Aphrodite Macbain: William Blake
Eliza Madrigal: well, when we create, are we coming from instinct or passion? the passion must start somewhere... some urge or instinct toward something
Agatha Macbeth: Hey it moved
Bruce Mowbray: [yeah, I passionately moved it]
Aphrodite Macbain: Imagination seems to me to be the result of a creative action whereas instinct requires no thought or action. So In some ways they are opposite.
--BELL--
Agatha Macbeth: Not the squirrels then
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Bruce Mowbray: Maxine talks about "sleepwalking" through reason, instinct, and passion....
Eliza Madrigal: I somehow feel it has the same base instinct of survival/freedom
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: sleepwalking seems to imply no real intention
Agatha Macbeth: Somnambulism
Eliza Madrigal: :) there's a scrabble word
Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
Bruce Mowbray: Well, since the whole poem is a "vision," I felt that sleepwalk meant walking blindly... or with only a blurry sight of things....
Bruce Mowbray: I also felt drawn to the image of the egg.
Aphrodite Macbain: It also implies action
Eliza Madrigal nods
Mickorod Renard: or a rebirth?
Eliza Madrigal: and the intense fire
Bruce Mowbray: yes, a re-birth...
Mickorod Renard: hatching out
Aphrodite Macbain: interesting Mick- the egg gets cracked!
Aphrodite Macbain: Interesting also that we contain both adam and satan
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, Aph.
Agatha Macbeth: Why Adam and not God?
Bruce Mowbray: Reminescent of Maxine's book, no?
Aphrodite Macbain: that's what I was wondering
Mickorod Renard: maybe more sybolic than religious?
Bruce Mowbray: Albion is archetypal man.
Agatha Macbeth: Why Satan then?
Aphrodite Macbain: In Milton's paradise lost, I think the main actors are Adam and Satan
Bruce Mowbray: DEFINITELY, Mick.
Agatha Macbeth: Oh I see
Agatha Macbeth: Thanks Aph (again)
Bruce Mowbray: In fact, Blake was criticizing the "Puritanism" religions of his day.
Aphrodite Macbain: It's been 40 yeares since I read it.....
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: also years
Bruce Mowbray remembers the "slouigh of despond..."
Eliza Madrigal is thinking when she read it before she must not have read it but skimmed (many years too)
Bruce Mowbray: slough*
Bruce Mowbray: (which is just about where i stopped reading it)
Tura Brezoianu: In the picture, Adam seems to be an egg within the egg. The yolk?
Aphrodite Macbain: I remember having to memorize it
Aphrodite Macbain: bits of it
Bruce Mowbray: Definitely eggs within eggs!
Aphrodite Macbain: hadn't noticed that before
Aphrodite Macbain: he's in a circle within an egg
Tura Brezoianu: I've never read Blake, I think maybe I should.
Aphrodite Macbain: Read Milton too
Aphrodite Macbain: Blake is also a poet: Tiger tiger burning bright... etc
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Eliza Madrigal: I keep thinking about the sentence "you can't get there from here" which, in the context of dreaming means something like, no matter how much you accomplish in the dream or no matter where you get in the dream, you can't get )outside of the dream( ...something like that. You must wake up.
Xirana Oximoxi: The wikipedia says Milton is a poem writen by Blake.... not sure if it's the same :)
Aphrodite Macbain: what immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symetry
Agatha Macbeth: Bouncy pouncy flouncy
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, "Milton" is a poem by Blake.
Xirana Oximoxi: ok, thank you :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Blakes poem (and image) about Milton's poem
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Aphrodite Macbain: track
Mickorod Renard: its odd you can get miltons sterilizing tablets for baby bottles
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
Mickorod Renard: just thinking of the cleansing
Aphrodite Macbain: must be his brother
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe he had a maternal side too
Eliza Madrigal laughs
Eliza Madrigal: Mick you mentioned Paradise Lost earlier?
Agatha Macbeth: Here comes Bleuji
Bruce Mowbray: afk for just a sec.....
Mickorod Renard: yes, just that it made me think how I read some wierd stuff as a kid..but in some strange way maybe they were planted
Bleu Oleander: 's current display-name is "Bleu".
Agatha Macbeth: And here she is! :)
Aphrodite Macbain: planted in your garden?
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Bleu, let me give you an IM....
Bleu Oleander: slips in qietly ... sorry to be late
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Bleu
Mickorod Renard: Hi bleu
Mickorod Renard: ah yes, the garden of the mind
Aphrodite Macbain: smiles
Aphrodite Macbain: very fertile
Mickorod Renard: i think it took a while to bloom
Eliza Madrigal: (Bruce's report, goes with the image) :D
Bruce Mowbray: Hi, Bleu.
Xirana Oximoxi: hi Bleu :)
Mickorod Renard: its funny to watch these kids doing their own thing without me yawping at them..should have been asleep a while ago
Mickorod Renard: sorry bell
Eliza Madrigal: I'd imagine that kind of poem seemed overwhelming for a child. Did it, Mick?
--BELL--
Eliza Madrigal: (sorry a bit laggy)
Mickorod Renard: as i recall i was ashamed to admit i liked it
Aphrodite Macbain: the devil's descent into hell
Aphrodite Macbain: poor guy
Eliza Madrigal: did you already have ideas about hell/heaven/etc?
Aphrodite Macbain: and angels
Aphrodite Macbain: - the devil is/was a fallen angel
Aphrodite Macbain: hence paradise lost
Tura Brezoianu: I remember Blake said Milton "was a true Poet and of the Devil's party without knowing it"
Mickorod Renard: I can't even recall its content now..but I do remember enjoying reading it but as much for its artistic use of english
Bruce Mowbray: Freud described the child's psyche as "polygmous perversity."
Bruce Mowbray: polygamous *
Aphrodite Macbain: I wonder why "perversity"
Bruce Mowbray: me too, Aph.
Eliza Madrigal: speaking of wonderful, evocative language
Bruce Mowbray: A LOT of ID, probably.
Aphrodite Macbain: grins
Bruce Mowbray: polymorphous -- NOT polygamous!
Bruce Mowbray: sorry.

(A Freudian slip if ever there was one)

Bleu Oleander: :)
Xirana Oximoxi: :)
Eliza Madrigal grins
Aphrodite Macbain: ah that makes even more sense
Mickorod Renard: to Eliza..yes i would have been familiar with religious teachings as all in uk at that time had some re in school
Bruce Mowbray: That was me -- not Freud -- who's thinking about polygamy.
Aphrodite Macbain: I was never taught about angels
Eliza Madrigal: ha ha
Aphrodite Macbain: or devils for that matter
Eliza Madrigal: I was taught all kinds of things as though they were in the bible but only later did I learn that they'd been gleaned from all over the place
Bruce Mowbray: Really, Aph?
Aphrodite Macbain: I cant imagine you having more than one wife Bruce!
Bruce Mowbray: me NEITHER!!!! One was more than enough.
Aphrodite Macbain: yes-really. We focused on the New Testament
Bruce Mowbray: would rather have squirrels than wives, frankly.
Bruce Mowbray: (or husbands).
Eliza Madrigal: well, nodding to both bruce and freud, I first read polyamourous
Aphrodite Macbain: I thought so
Eliza Madrigal laughs
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Bruce Mowbray loves "polyamorous"
Aphrodite Macbain: I'd like to be polyamourous
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Polly who?
Aphrodite Macbain: I'd love everyone and everyone would love me. :D
Eliza Madrigal: I think it takes a lot of imagination to integrate the fragmentation...
Agatha Macbeth: We do love you
Aphrodite Macbain: <3 <3 <3
Bruce Mowbray: "polyamorous" is preferable to "bi-sexual" or any of the other LGBTQ terms, IMHO.
Xirana Oximoxi: yes! I like it too :)
Bruce Mowbray: Excellent, Eliza! "A lot of imagination to integrate the fragmentation."
Aphrodite Macbain: yes!
Mickorod Renard: during my rebelious years I had a distinct enthusiasm to do as much anti Christ activities as I could..but one had to make an effort suggesting it wasn't natural
Aphrodite Macbain: but also relying on instinct?
Aphrodite Macbain: @Bruce
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Bruce Mowbray: or passion?
Agatha Macbeth: Mick the Great Beast
Aphrodite Macbain: we'd need a bit of all of them
Eliza Madrigal: probably rebellion comes from strict ideas of conformity in the first place?
Bruce Mowbray: I doubt that folks without a bit of devil in them would be very interesting.
Mickorod Renard: very much,,in fact my dad was called God by most people
Bruce Mowbray: Saints may be pure --- but OHHHH, so boring!
Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
Eliza Madrigal: all these mythical creatures :)
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Agatha Macbeth looks round
Mickorod Renard: I was reffered to as rasputin..he he
Bruce Mowbray ponders "virtual reality" as an oxymoron.
Agatha Macbeth: My moron needs more oxy
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Mickorod Renard: he he
Eliza Madrigal: to be pure?
Tura Brezoianu: It's all real, just a different medium
Bleu Oleander: :)
Bruce Mowbray nods @ Tura.
Eliza Madrigal agrees too
Agatha Macbeth: Medium rare
Tura Brezoianu: a rare medium
Eliza Madrigal is really a mermaid but you just can't see that in the regular ol world, lol
Aphrodite Macbain: and a Japanese mermaid as well
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Mermaidu
Eliza Madrigal: he he

Mickorod Renard: I have a mini report,,more to do with a private event i had this week..my dog dying
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, sorry to hear, Mick :(
Xirana Oximoxi: oh, sorry Mick
Bruce Mowbray: Oh my, so sorry, Mick.
Bruce Mowbray listens....
Mickorod Renard: no worries
Eliza Madrigal: I know you mentioned... listens
Mickorod Renard: something i was reflecting on tho: My old dog 17+ years died Tuesday night. i had called the vet earlier to have him put down but my son refused so we waited. I struggled with which part of the brains hemis was in play..I felt he needed an end to his suffering and felt driven by compassion..but I needed the strength and determination to push the choice to its end. An interesting period in life to reflect on this subject Done

(Here I was busy googling and initially missed what Mick said til I read back)

Agatha Macbeth: Apparently it's actually マーメイド (Māmeido)
--BELL--
Aphrodite Macbain: you speak Japanese Aggers?
Agatha Macbeth: Google does
Aphrodite Macbain: :_)

Bruce Mowbray: No matter how old, or how long suffering, losing one's companion is a sort of shock....
Eliza Madrigal: that's such a hard position to be put in :(
Bleu Oleander: sorry to hear Mick ... tough time!
Aphrodite Macbain: I'm sorry you had to go through that Mick
Mickorod Renard: I am ok with it,,in fact I am ok with most things like that
Bruce Mowbray: Thank you for sharing that with us, Mick.
Agatha Macbeth: Aww Mick
Mickorod Renard: but i was able to look at it mentally
Bruce Mowbray: and with compassion for the animal, it seems.
Xirana Oximoxi: I had the same doubts with my first dog...it was a kind of resistence to lose her...but she was suffereng, so I took the decision, I felt like not dooing was egoistic
Aphrodite Macbain: Interesting that you were struggling with brain hemispheres
Eliza Madrigal: if you have little to no doubt about whether you're doing the best thing, then easier to move on
Bruce Mowbray: a mindful struggle, too.
Aphrodite Macbain: indeed
Mickorod Renard: I dont know I was struggling with hemispheres, maybe concience and trying to evaluate my thinking
Mickorod Renard: some in the family have lost it,,i find that hard to comprehend
Bruce Mowbray: yes, but at the same time mindfu of your son's wishes and of the dog's suffering.
Bruce Mowbray: mindful*
Bleu Oleander: why do we feel differently with people ... or do we?
Mickorod Renard: yes, that was the balancing issue Bruce
Aphrodite Macbain: So... it seems to me that the thread that is running through all of Maxine's text is the importance if integrating differences. Each section seems to come back to this. Do others get this too?
Bruce Mowbray: Oh yes, Aph.
Eliza Madrigal: definitely
Bruce Mowbray: and the importance of not getting stuck in rigidity.
Aphrodite Macbain: either/or..and...
Eliza Madrigal: but also integration feels more violent than I'd thought of before reading this
Mickorod Renard: I lost my sis recently, I had to just let it be..its natural and inevitab;le..but I fear i am becoming too,,,,,,unimotional
Aphrodite Macbain: but so does splitting
Eliza Madrigal: then seeing this image... maxine's in good company
Eliza Madrigal nods Aph
Mickorod Renard: yes, thats a good point eliza,,maxine is becoming company
Bruce Mowbray: Blake and Milton also see integration as a sort of maturing through and out of violent (inward) conflict.
Mickorod Renard: through her book
Eliza Madrigal: ((mick)))
Eliza Madrigal: I don't think you can be too emotional with things like that...
Eliza Madrigal: just have to find channels for expression maybe

The Inner Civil War

Bruce Mowbray: Do others feel that unless we confront the inner violences in ourselves, we might be fated to have the violences be outer -- in the so-called "real world"?
Mickorod Renard: I think I am becoming non emotional..perhaps equanamic?
Aphrodite Macbain: sounds promising Mick
Bleu Oleander: I haven't experienced "inner violences" @Bruce
Eliza Madrigal: that seems what projection is, Bruce? I was looking at this image too, and the way the fire is in but also (perceived?) all around
Bruce Mowbray: I surely have.
Bleu Oleander: what do you mean by that?
Aphrodite Macbain: We should all be better off if we can resolve our inner conflicts. We would be stronger to face the outer ones Bruce.
Bruce Mowbray: Indeed, projection is moving the inner stuff (unconsciously) to the outer world.
Eliza Madrigal nods
Bruce Mowbray: Like a civil war inside myself, Bleu.
Eliza Madrigal: so one senses powerless and projects onto 'others' as taking power away
Aphrodite Macbain: and giving the other more power
Bleu Oleander: a violent civil war? seems a violent way to talk about the mind to me
Bruce Mowbray: My mind has been VERY violent...
Bruce Mowbray: although outwardly, no one would suspect that.
Aphrodite Macbain: I would call mine minor skirmishes...
Bruce Mowbray: I would call mine mass genocides.
Bleu Oleander: why are we using all these war metaphors?
Bruce Mowbray: (I'm not kidding.)
Aphrodite Macbain: They dramatize the experience?
Mickorod Renard: he he , grin..I think I can relate there too Bruce
Bruce Mowbray: My fantasies would curdle homogenized milk.
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Mickorod Renard: but for me it helps purge it
Aphrodite Macbain: acidic?
Bruce Mowbray: I'm almost sure you can, Mick.
Eliza Madrigal: remember the Pinker book several years ago, that posited that our societies were becoming less violent even though it doesn't feel like it? It felt like, the more privilege to think out things, space, etc. then we call that civilized... civilizing forces being allowed to work
Bruce Mowbray: Lonely, isn't it?
Eliza Madrigal: but it doesn't necessarily mean we lost all those tendencies, and people in the midst of warzones wouldn't think that way probably
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, statistically, Pinker is right.
Aphrodite Macbain: What did Pinker consider "civilizing forces"?
Bruce Mowbray: (so far)
Bleu Oleander: statistics are showing us as less violent, but media makes us think we're more violent
Bruce Mowbray: Right, Bleu.
Aphrodite Macbain: we are brainwashed by the media
Mickorod Renard: when I do feel like that Bruce i am just me ..as a raging super ego..no companions
Bruce Mowbray: The colors in Blake's illustration seem quite violent to me.
Aphrodite Macbain: lots of fire around it all
Eliza Madrigal: intense
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, that's what I meant by "lonely," Mick.
Aphrodite Macbain: (I think those are flames)
Agatha Macbeth: What's that thing in the middle of the egg that looks like a radio mast?
--BELL--
Aphrodite Macbain: I was wondering too
Bruce Mowbray: That is Albion's head....
Bruce Mowbray: or actually, his eye.
Agatha Macbeth: Wow
Aphrodite Macbain: It is?
Bruce Mowbray: Looks like an insect, doesn't it?
Bruce Mowbray: like a moth about to burn up in a flame?
Agatha Macbeth: Mantis?
Eliza Madrigal: (I shouldn't say I read Pinker's book btw, since I only watched an interview, but in general the more sophisticated we become, but then are we thinking of the difference between distant drone strikes vs. hand to hand)
Bruce Mowbray: yeah, or a mantis.

Aphrodite Macbain: Sorry- I gotta go
Bruce Mowbray: me too.
Aphrodite Macbain: waves
Bruce Mowbray: THANKS everyone!
Eliza Madrigal: bye Aph, thanks :)
