In my conversation at BATGP, I found very clearly that what mattered was how I was listening -- I am the definer of my experiences, and lo and behold, I moved towards less defining -- mostly because I see now that it takes a deep intent and a ton of creativity to grasp another's POV without judg

I think an appropriate "deeper, probing question" might be along the lines of "What has being 'the center of the universe' ever done for anyone except yourself?" There *might* be some interesting answers to this. If there are, *that* might interest those who care about other human beings in the

Dude, you've got more big words here than we've heard in a long time. I pretty much bailed after the first sentence. But based on what seems to be your very dry and academic assessment, I can see where these accounts would have been right up your alley.. -- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "m

I guess you've got something about Saturday nights, Richard. I am guessing that you must have sensitive about it in junior high school, and not having "plans" on that night. Fortunately, Richard we are at least, chrnologically past that point in our lives, and we may, or may not have plans on

[FairfieldLife] Re: Gas Pump Blues

What I can't figure out is, who would really want to talk about themselves like this? It's kind of like talking about your sex life. It's sort of personal thing. Sometimes these types of experiences come up in conversations here, but usually as side bar, not the main dish. --- In Fairfield

I had (and may continue, but I'm on pause right now) a very very long conversation with one of the BATGP folks, Dan, over months of time, and I took the tact that I would assume he was enlightened and just, you know, sincerely ask questions as if he were sorta a personal guru with whom I might hav

[FairfieldLife] Re: Gas Pump Blues

I think all of that is good. However, as stated, I have not found it very interesting, yet. I have not listened as extensively as you, and there may be great gems that I missed. However, others seem to be having the same problem as I -- in maintaining interest. Perhaps these may be raw feeds tha

Gotta agree. I love the concept of the project, but I've been bored senseless by the people themselves, for almost exactly the reasons tartbrain puts into words so well below. As for the Yahoo discussion group, "way into their heads" is too kind. One visit was enough. I can't see most "people on t

The center of the universe thing -- the experience several mentioned -- sort of casually, is interesting. Do they mean that poetically like someone might say their heart felt like the ocean? I sense they mean I more literally. If that is the case, i think some respectful, considerate probing mi
