[FairfieldLife] Re: Studying the numinous
I was with some children last
night. I have no children myself, so it was rather
intriguing watching what interests them. One was about one
year old, and the other about three. The one year old seemed
totally fascinated with an empty aseptic package (Rice milk
or something like that). Its
whole world was wrapped up in this empty package. It made
me wonder how its mind was beginning to fashion the world it
experiences. The other child was much more interactive with
me because she could speak, but I could rarely understand
what she was talking about. The ego was forming in this one,
but mostly she was interacting with me with a beach ball and
some other small spherical toys. I have vague memories of my
childhood playing and making up stuff, trying to figure out
how things works. Somewhere along the line all this make
believe solidifies into something more sinister - what I
think is real. The pretend becomes
fossilised.
I
won't comment on the deeper aspects of your post, just
pass along a wonderful moment having to do with children. Or
one child, at least. Here's Maya yesterday, revealing
her aspect as the Buddha of Compassion, meditating on the
infinite wonder of bunnies. :-)
