pretty sure that this trick of revealing the plans is the key to<br>
starting things in a big way. I recall telling Christian last year<br>
that if we found the right start practice, then it would be a<br>
sure-fire thing; probably just one person could walk in and start it<br>
single-handedly. So when I realized (just now) how easy this plan-<br>
revealing start would be (even if nobody else understood or helped or<br>
cared at first) then I figured it was probably *the* start key.<br>
<br>
But the neatest thing is how it's like a keystone between practice and<br>
theory, as though the two joined here in an arch. To explain, see the<br>
material end (M0, "forever retelling the myth") in this table:<br>
<a href="http://zelea.com/project/votorola/home.html#moral" target="_blank">http://zelea.com/project/votorola/home.html#moral</a><br>
<br>
Well, never mind *end*, it's clear that we can't even *start* without<br>
telling a myth. Myth is what each of these plans (e.g. your own)<br>
aspires to be, because its steps tell the story of where we're all<br>
going, which makes it a myth by definition. And clearly we can't move<br>
a finger, or bat an eye without it. So all our practical frustrations<br>
in this little group (field, society, etc) are tied to what theory<br>
here reveals as the ultimate and eternal solution. We can apply that<br>
solution now (i.e. tell our plans), or stay frozen and frustrated<br>
until we do. Those are the alternatives. I think it's neat how<br>
something so eye-poppingly big (in theory) meets us here in a small<br>
practice. It's this meeting I call the "keystone".<br>
<br>
I'm happy too, because this brings the design I've been working on<br>
with others (notably Thomas and Christian) to a kind of completion.<br>
You might not see it, but (for whatever it's worth) it hangs together.<br>
I worked almost 7 years on it. Parts of the theory are older, dating<br>
back to 1988. So it's been a long haul for me.<br>
