[2008/11/03 16:03] Geni Figaro: kk - this is just the starting poin t- based on teh first afternoon dicussion I had
[2008/11/03 16:03] Geni Figaro: the idea is based on the wheel
[2008/11/03 16:03] Geni Figaro: the journey we take through life in each phase
[2008/11/03 16:04] Geni Figaro: and there are types of role we are most comfortable in as we progress
[2008/11/03 16:04] Baji Bourjade: interesting
[2008/11/03 16:04] Geni Figaro: this model uses archetypes that are familiar to us
[2008/11/03 16:04] Elborath Gelfand: nods
[2008/11/03 16:04] Geni Figaro: from universal myths nd legends
[2008/11/03 16:04] Geni Figaro: so they help us undertand where we are on the path
[2008/11/03 16:05] Geni Figaro: and how we might interact with others at a different point
[2008/11/03 16:05] Baji Bourjade represses the urge to call I GET GALADRIEL!!!
[2008/11/03 16:05] Geni Figaro: all characters can be good or bad
[2008/11/03 16:05] Geni Figaro: we start life, or a new phase of life, as an innocent
[2008/11/03 16:05] Geni Figaro: teh "everyman" setting out
[2008/11/03 16:06] Geni Figaro: optimistic, trusting, expecting the best
[2008/11/03 16:06] Arawn Spitteler: Nurture v Nature?
[2008/11/03 16:06] Geni Figaro: then we may be hit by reality, betrayed, "wise up in experience
[2008/11/03 16:06] Elborath Gelfand: the age old question Arawn
[2008/11/03 16:06] Baji Bourjade: it's always a tie, arawan
[2008/11/03 16:06] Geni Figaro: that is our orphan
[2008/11/03 16:06] Geni Figaro: we need both
[2008/11/03 16:06] Elborath Gelfand: of course
[2008/11/03 16:07] Geni Figaro: then we start to work hard, fight for our quest
[2008/11/03 16:07] Geni Figaro: the warrior
[2008/11/03 16:07] Geni Figaro: a grat achiever
[2008/11/03 16:07] Geni Figaro: but its not enough
[2008/11/03 16:07] Geni Figaro: we must learn to care for others, not just do
[2008/11/03 16:07] Geni Figaro: so that is another pair
[2008/11/03 16:07] Geni Figaro: warrior and caregiver
[2008/11/03 16:08] Geni Figaro: then we need to destroy, get rid of things that build up
[2008/11/03 16:08] Elborath Gelfand: the warrior as defender
[2008/11/03 16:08] Geni Figaro: yes can be
[2008/11/03 16:08] Geni Figaro: we need to let go or we are weighed down
[2008/11/03 16:08] Geni Figaro: so we all need some destroyer

[2008/11/03 16:09] Geni Figaro: new solutions
[2008/11/03 16:09] Elborath Gelfand: cut away the dead wood
[2008/11/03 16:09] Elborath Gelfand: to allow new growth
[2008/11/03 16:09] Geni Figaro: these are all the real "working, journeying" archetypes
[2008/11/03 16:09] Geni Figaro: but soon we come into our "kingdom"
[2008/11/03 16:09] Geni Figaro: the ruler, just and caring or dictatorial
[2008/11/03 16:10] Geni Figaro: and at their side the magician, making new thoughts that shape the cosmos
[2008/11/03 16:10] Baji Bourjade: galadriel
[2008/11/03 16:10] Geni Figaro: that has to be at the side of the jester, lightening the mood

[2008/11/03 16:11] Geni Figaro: but I know once you are in the kingsom you have to listen out
[2008/11/03 16:12] Elborath Gelfand: and this is a progression that we all work through?
[2008/11/03 16:12] Geni Figaro: teh call comes to let you know you must put your house in order and set off again on the journey
[2008/11/03 16:12] Arawn Spitteler wonders if Geni is familiar with Ludo Merit's Prism Game: Kingsom?
[2008/11/03 16:12] Dragon Shichiroji: can u tell us the n ame of this wheel geni
[2008/11/03 16:12] Geni Figaro: and you grow in power each time you move round the cycle - in self realisation
[2008/11/03 16:13] Dragon Shichiroji: i am sure for us it can form the subject of some content to talk about
[2008/11/03 16:13] Elborath Gelfand: presumably ppl can get stuck
[2008/11/03 16:13] Elborath Gelfand: in one archtype
[2008/11/03 16:13] Baji Bourjade: in samskaric grooves
[2008/11/03 16:13] Elborath Gelfand: and cease spiritual growth
[2008/11/03 16:13] Geni Figaro: hmm - II havent read the book yet :) but one is called "awakening the hero inside"
[2008/11/03 16:13] Baji Bourjade: but jung said we do not solve our problems so often as we outgrow them
[2008/11/03 16:13] Dragon Shichiroji: Sounds like the hero's journey - but juts wondering if the wheel has a specific name
[2008/11/03 16:13] Geni Figaro: I dont know the Prism game
[2008/11/03 16:14] Geni Figaro: these are ways for us to think about the journey of life I think
[2008/11/03 16:14] Manon Clary: sorry i have to go again, have all a good night and peaceful dreams, till soon tc!
[2008/11/03 16:14] Baji Bourjade: ooooh what if we made a Game of Life, liek the board game in the US, where instead of ending up a millionaire u end up getting stoned to death or starved....
[2008/11/03 16:14] Geni Figaro: NN
[2008/11/03 16:14] Jophiella Willis: nite Manon
[2008/11/03 16:15] Geni Figaro: well we have to be careful what thoughts we put out into the world
[2008/11/03 16:15] Elborath Gelfand: when I send out the minutes Geni - may I put all that you have said in a seperate section
[2008/11/03 16:15] Geni Figaro: they are so powerful
[2008/11/03 16:15] Dragon Shichiroji: Thats great Geni- I am glad we got some time to talk about that here. do let us know how that team training comes along - would be interesting to know
