How do we Deepen our Experience?

Skating over a large territory….

In the growth movement, we’d call what I’m about to do next a “share.”

More specifically, in an encounter group, we’d call it “calling myself on my own number.” Doing it saves everyone a lot of time and suffering.

The alternative is to deny, justify, and excuse how we’re being rather than just fess up.

This is my share then. My ethnographic account of a way of being:

I keep noticeing something about myself in what Werner Erhard would call the “background of obviousness.”

I keep noticeing a lack of depth in what I feel and can reach. And this is especially true socially (well, I’m a hermit! Duhhhh.).

If the Tin Man lacked a heart and the Cowardly Lion lacked courage, I lack depth. I hasten to add: Right now.

I skate over a large territory but know little in depth.

We’ve heard our sources say that life the way it used to be will prove uninteresting to us. Make this a case in point: I’m no longer satisfied with a lack of depth in my life.....+@
