BEING.HUMAN what does this mean? I posted this in July but the timing and format hasn't quite felt in alignment yet. Probably looking at January if there is enough interest. Please let me know if it's something you'd be interested in.
Rather than the general Cafe discussion format it will be more experiental with short meditations/energy movement and internal investigation into the nature of Reality/Consciousness/Love/Source expressing itself through our humanness.😊....probably in half day/full day format. We shall see😀V

Starting Soon....an invitation to those who have attended a Lighthearted Philosophy Cafe session. It will be a slightly different format and more in-depth self inquiry into the nature of Being.Human.
Helping to find clarity in the current sea of confusion; a signal in the noise.🙂....It will be held in Woodbridge. If interested please leave your comment below....thanks.

As some of you already know, there will soon be another thread to Lighthearted Philosophy focussing on what it means to BE. BEING.HUMAN😊

Starting off the Saturday evening kirtan at the 2018 Beltane Bhakti Gathering, Chloe included this new song "We are human beings". Featuring Tom Simenauer on...

In general, people are not drawn to perfection in others. People are drawn to shared interests, shared problems, and an individual's life energy. Humans connect with humans. Hiding one's humanity and trying to project an image of perfection makes a person vague, slippery, lifeless, and uninteresting. ~Robert Glover

An Example to Consider: Looking at a Plain “Square Wooden Table”
(Inspired by Bertrand Russell’s The Problems of Philosophy)

"What do we all know to be absolutely correct?
Do we agree that the table’s square, hard and beige?
Everyone agrees.
But is it really square? From where each of us is sitting, the table appears wider close up and narrower farther away. It isn’t square from those angles. Some of us even see a diamond shape.
Why should we claim that the only point of view where the table appears to be square—looking down at it directly from above—is the correct one out of the tens millions of angles where it doesn’t appear that way?
Now to the hardness of the table.
Is the table truly hard?
If you touch it lightly with your fingers, it doesn’t feel hard at all. If you press it a little less lightly, it still doesn’t feel hard. Obviously there will come a point where the table will feel hard, but where is that point and would we all agree on it?
Now to the beige colour.
If we turned off the lights or waited till 2am, would the table still be beige?
No, it would be a much darker shade of brown or even black.
Why should the colour of the table under « normal daytime conditions » (however defined) be defined as the correct one?
What’s less correct about the table’s colour during the tens of millions of tiny moments during the night?
These are simple philosophical questions about the nature of knowledge and truth. And all you need is an ordinary table to trigger them.
HAVE FUN!! THIS IS LIGHT HEARTED!!
