LA TENSEGRITY WORKSHOP AUGUST 23-27

Bobby and Seymour
In this workshop, the Flyers were simply referred to as the predators, or as Bobby. The latter was a more psychological designation. They described Bobby as simply being like we are: chubby, lazy, a little dumb. We are Bobby. But they also claimed that one never rids themselves of predators completely. There is a predator for every man, woman, child, and sorcerer. For example, although Bobby no longer bothers the witches, they now have Seymour with whom to contend. Bobby likes the awareness covering the lower half of our luminous eggs, but Seymour (see-more ?) feasts on the upper half of the cocoon. Seymour is lean, mean, clever, and evil.
The witches were philosophical about the ubiquitous predatorial nature of the universe. Predators force us to perform at our very best, to evolve, to mutate. Without predators, the universe stagnates. The universe itself endows entities with awareness and sends them out as probes. The probes are what permit the universe to become conscious of itself.
Bobby's Ownership Paradigm
Florinda said that the benevolent interpretation of the way sorcerers handle the world is through elegant acquiescence. We must acquiesce to forces greater than ourselves, but we have the choice sometimes to do so with elegance and beauty, and this is the predilection of the warrior. One big issue that needs to be handled with elegance, according to Taisha, is how we ultimately deal with our owners. The sorcerers choose their words very carefully, and they selected the word *owner* to refer to our parents. Our parents *own* us, because they forever try to bring us back into the fold by stressing our obligations to marry, raise a family, go to church, be a responsible member of the extended family and community, etc. They often compare us unfavorably with one of our siblings if we attempt to stray. It doesn't matter that the sibling is an alcoholic, depressed, wife-beater. At least he's married.
Bobby's ownership paradigm is indeed a paradox for sorcerers, for it seems there is no satisfactory solution. Taisha dealt with her owners by standing on a chair and battering her extra-sized father. After that humiliation, her father forbade the family from having any more to do with her. Taisha stressed that this was a totally unsorceric way of coming up with an elegant solution.
