Distributed States of Consciousness
So, how does trance relate to dance? You have felt more than you have stressed. You feel more than you enact or dramatize. You are conscious of feeling only what you resist in your thinking. Most people feel by contrast to thought, not because of thought. The trance can bring down your resistance to the…

The Primordial Dance
So free will, how you might actually be a conscious and actively participant in the dance… If you look for free will in thought, you will fail to find it.

Tribal Understanding: Capacity for Language

Even things like sea slugs seem able to perform cognitive functions that would seem impossible, even microscopic worms, and some of these organisms don’t even…
