"The Altered Space" (c)
Crafty Dog
==============================
Woof All:
A Dog Brothers Gathering is an experience that takes us into an "altered space" where deep lessons are absorbed and consciousness is moved forward.
How long we choose to remain in this space is up to us and what an interesting choice that is-- for it is clear from the effort we invest to get to this space that this space is deeply important to us.
This is where we learn just which self it is we truly wish to defend-- whether what is learned can be articulated or not.
As we sometimes riff, "Intelligence is the amount of time it takes to forget a lesson." To forget a lesson is for Life to teach it to you again--as many times as necessary for you to get it. Learning takes but an instant, it is the NOT learning and the NOT remembering the learning that consumes so much of our time!
For Life to give you new lessons, you must remember the previous ones.
So instead returning to our lives outside of this space as before with the time inside this space but a fleeting memory we choose to remember that which we have learned of the higher consciousness that can come from harder contact.
