RE: TYMPAN/CALYPSO

gary,

I haven't read that but it sounds really interesting. Local know-how, 
storytelling, motivating support are the kinds of things I'm thinking about. 
There is the story of the birth of an artistic sensibility from a sense of 
uprootedness that in way itself operates as a kind of rooting, cthonic 
perhaps, that is a collective recognition of a  local know-how or a custom, 
ethos, habitus, and so on and so forth... Peep once again directs me in the 
right direction (thanks, but leaves me with all the theoretico-practico 
work) when he vaguely refers to Wittengstein. There is an ethnological 
reading of W that I just want to fix a little for future reference. 
'Understanding' a custom is like "obeying a rule". You don't think about it 
you just do it more or less consciously once you know how it goes and you 
kind of go "aha..." that's how it goes and there is sense of relief that's 
also a sense of confidence or the certainty of a clear way of proceeding 
that may get bogged down again and tangled up in difficulties but for the 
moment in which one finds a smooth flow you are in the zone as we say in 
sports and in a way very present hic et nunc, attentive... and that's what 
it takes to 'obey' what the next move is going to be that comes out of the 
context or immediate environment in which we live.  This is how we 
participate in the production of local knowledge that through agreement 
leads to the formation of a "rule", a "mathematical formula", a "a musical 
score", a "manual of clinical pratice", "the custom of a city-state", and so 
on... these are all "nesting spaces". To work at these kinds of things is to 
bind together an originary society and therefore heal the failure of 
empathetic connections to our ethos, our ethnicity. I don't know if 
transpersonal psychology (from California also) interest you Gary but I am 
throwing it into my strange brew, -- specifically _The Primal Wound_ by John 
Firman and Ann Gila.


sincere regards,
