Wow, you packed a lot into that talk! It’s such a pity that you were given such a short amount of time to talk about such broad topics. What struck me was you telling a group of law students to put logic on the back burner or at least to not use solely logic, probably went right through one of their ears and out the other. You could’ve spent the entire 18 minutes on this point alone and still not gotten it across due to the way they are trained to think and act. Bravo to you for trying!

Interesting, in the context of "Perspectiva will be in touch again soon with an update on our community offering," and my comment below about inner moves that check-mate our so-called rationality and the *make-believe* aspect of our conscious awareness of reality. I received an email from the Realisation Festival event organizers cancelling my ticket and promising a full refund, of course.

And in the interests of transparency, a principle, which I'm sure the fine upstanding members of the community agree with, the reason for the cancellation is, "We have read the comments by you on the social media of several people connected to the Festival, and feel that your approach is not compatible with what we offer at Realisation."

Seriously! Are people more concerned with themselves than the *metacrisis* and the fact that thousands of children will die during the event in June, as members have a *nice* time? Why not let me attend & have the pleasure of watching highly educated people punch holes in anything I have to say, or wonder about the non-conscious impulse to ignore what I say?

Especially when it comes of showing people the reification-fallacy of their conditioned rationality & how to experience the psychological death & resurrection that enables an embodied grasp the reality of being-in-time, alluded to in the *appearances* structure of the Christ narrative. Is there a *fear* of embarrassment, should I expose the lack of self-knowledge & awareness of *venerated* essay writers?
