I’ll be around today if we going ahead … Laura’s article would be my pick.. but happy to to do Harrison’s

I’ve already started making some notes on Harrison’s article, so let’s go with that. I’ll post a reminder before we’re due to start as usual.

Hi everyone,

Here are the links for the recent Aus-Asia-Am group discussions on Harrison's Substack article, "Instincted" to death: When Forgiveness Fails

Here's the video of the last meeting
The audio
And the folder

We will start Laura's Substack articles, starting from the most recent and working our way back for our next workshop on Saturday at 7pm Sydney ADEST time (GMT+11). I will let you know if I will be attending the Lord of the Rings extended cut showing at the movies for the 25th anniversary.

See you all then!

Session 3 May 1997, on pity

Q: One of the things I have learned is that these individuals seem to attach via some sort of psychic hook that enters through our reactions of pity. Can you comment on the nature of pity?

A: Pity those who pity.

Q: But, the ones who are being pitied, who generate sensations of pity, do not really pity anybody but themselves.

A: Yes...?

Q: Then, is it true as my son said, when you give pity, when you send love and light to those in darkness, or those who complain and want to be "saved" without effort on their own part, when you are kind in the face of abuse and manipulation, that you essentially are giving power to their further disintegration, or contraction into self-ishness? That you are powering their descent into STS?

A: You know the answer!

Q: Yes. I have seen it over and over again. Were the individuals in our lives selected for the extremely subtle nature of their abilities to evoke pity, or were we programmed to respond to pity so that we were blind to something that was obvious to other people?

A: Neither. You were selected to interact with those who would trigger a hypnotic response that would ultimately lead to a drain of energy.

Cs mentions of 'forgiveness'

How language changes the way we think- here is an example of Gen Alpha lingo:
