You can surf or search or use the labels to follow a thread of ideas. Imagine in some crazy way you are watching my thoughts evolve, seeing ideas become connected , or observing an amorphous cloud giving birth to sources of light and matter. Treat this place metaphorically as a place of unformed galaxies and planetary systems rather than merely as a diary.

Kino's Journey episode 10

Some more reflection questions -

How does the old lady/nanny fit in this country, what is her role?
What is her role in this world? How do we determine roles?

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel proposed two primeval self-consciousnesses the master and the slave, which in relationship initially demand recognition from the other, and later dependency on them, for their identity.

How do we determine who is master and who is slave/servant in this episode? How do we determine this in our world?

Being able to see the country at the bottom of lake requires a willingness to travel and to be shown and the requirement of the right light source.

Often our Bible translations translate doulos which means literally slave, with servant as if to cushion the blow about what it means to follow Christ. However you cannot do this in Mark 10: 35-45 where Jesus makes a radical statement about the difference. How comfortable are you with this.

Where is your meaning? In what you do or could do? Where is your identity founded? How do you describe yourself to others?
