Monday morning orientation.

Important public safety notes:

1. It seems I am the Anti-Seducer. Expect no fun at all from this bunny.

2. There aren't enough check-boxes on my PTO sheet. How does one document calling in "mean"? I really wanted to do that today...

3. Although I'm a long-time member of the This Shit is Real Club, learning how to be a magician after all these years of being a priest is giving me shit up to my eyeballs. Naturally, I was not expecting this. My only joy at this point is the thought that featherynscale may also be suffering -- because that is what love is all about.

And a positive note to balance it out: The three young people I worked with in KidSpace yesterday blew my mind. We do not give them enough credit. I owe my daughter some serious magical/ritual time.

Saff out.

I agree that it's a brainblower. But I don't know that I'd classify either as "low" or "high," really. There's a much wider range of power and conscience than either side gives the other credit for, methinks.

They're wildly different paradigms in practice and theory, but -- I think -- essentially flawed in isolation. That's part of the point of year two in this experiment. In year one, we played "to type." Now, we're going against it. Next year is when we try to integrate them. That'll be something to see.

the problem is, and you seem to have fallen for it, is the "high" and "low" aren't value judgements. They are catagories for techniques and nothing more. Also, labeling things is good. Labels are what keep you from drinking poison. ;)

You misjudge me. I'm too much of a language geek to let the everyday connotations of "high" and "low" bother me. It's just that I find binary thinking too limiting, so I try to avoid binary labels. Life is infinitely more complicated than that, you know?

I require at least three options, laid out over more than two dimensions.
