Hi, Vashik and Lisa: I don’t know if anyone else is having difficulty with this, but I am finding it increasingly hard to participate comfortably because the chats are starting to lag significantly behind the move to new cantos. Part of the enjoyment of this for me is to be engaged with each canto all of a piece through your superb essays and then by sharing observations in chat discussion on the given canto assignment while it is “live.” If you are finding that your own time constraints make it difficult to keep up with preparing each canto’s essay and prompts for the chat “in sync,” one possibility could be to open the chat without a specific set of prompts at the same time as you put up the essay for each canto. Now, perhaps I am an outlier with this concern, and if so, of course go with the sense of the group.
Hello Susan! All fixed now and big apologies for this! We’re all caught up now, and I’ll be starting the discussions as soon as these posts land in your inbox. :)
Thank you so much, Vashik! You two have taken on a huge project here, with tremendous thought and care. I cannot imagine trying to lead this effort—following along is plenty challenging enough.
My personal constraint with this read-along is intelligence. Like a Golden Retriever, I am just grateful to be along for the ride with not much in the way to contribute besides the odd encouragement.
Having ventured through Christian subconscious myself too, you can expect this sort of hell of passions. But it’s quite natural, it is calling it sinning that anatagonizes their vital role in existence - the energy. That created all sorts of blasphemous conceptions of life even portraying reproduction and enjoyment as sins that affected mass psychology so deeply that it actually created Hell that doesn’t exist for not aware of it minds. Superstitions we call it, but it’s very real when it roots in subconscious mind working on other, more grim frequencies stimulating muscles and strength. Of course a beast is dangerous when hunting but it doesn’t hunt its family. It’s feeding them, which actually starts to lead towards conception of morality even in lower animals (at this point). It starts as instinct, then becomes habit and ends with desire asking where is it after it disappears. Then comes desperation, withdrawal. Either finding new source or changing themselves to fit new circumstances. Down numberless generations, this becomes fundamental of specie on which it builds and also niches out mingling with different plateaus around the feeding grounds.
