Colliding or overlapping worlds I want to explore.
1. Premature babies: get in touch with the local hospital, figure out how to get on the list of people who hold premature babies. Who can I talk to about the research behind this.
2. Training service animals: talk to the people on campus who train security dogs. What is the process like for people with new issues of blindness... learning to trust what pulls you.
3. Discussion with people who are into deep meditation. What’s that experience like? What is the muscle memory like? How do they manage pain? What is the general experience of the body.
4. Self-identified heavy drinkers that I know: what do you like about the feeling of being drinking? How can you describe your body in terms of lightness and heaviness?
5. Talk to the Smoke Jumping wilderness firefighting crew at the national base in Idaho. Talk to them about the experience of jumping out of the plane. The push and pull of the experience of flying out of the plane.
For point three and four... add additional experiments in MEDIATION... how is writing about different than talking about different than experiencing? What are effective ways of mediating these experiences? Is anything to be gained by mediating some of these experiences? Or is it all about direct individual experience?
