 by Flemming FunchMy good friend Max Sandor has a new weblog: The Sandorian Grove. Max and I have been talking philosophy and technology for many years, and he's a co-founder of NCN and ran this server here for years. Besides being a computer wiz and a scholar on buddhism and ancient lnguages, Max is now a babalao, an initiated priest in West African mystical traditions, specifically a teacher of IFA. Max does these group process events called skycircles. It is sort of a re-alignment of archetypes and ancestors and other forces that might bear on a situation. The focus is normally on one person, and the people present will play the part of some person or ancestor or archetype that is involved. Last saturday I was the focal point, in regards to me and my family moving to France. Which was quite remarkable. I'm not going to say all that much, but the result was me being much more in harmony with the whole thing, being more clear on who I really am, and ready to flow with the language and everything. And, well, I've been a bit out of touch with my more mystical sides the past couple of years. Just being a computer nerd. But, hey, I think that might be about to change. |
