Thanks for the word. We should start a lexicon of words that surprise and delight!

The m has a little dot under it so you pronounce it with an ‘ng’ sound. The a’s are pronounced like the sound ah. I don’t know how to spell phonetically, so here is an attempt: a-HAHNG-kara. Reassuring that even bacteria do it!

Autopoiesis and anosognosia… look what you learn hanging out with ME!

Seriously, I am fascinated by this book and how the stages of Dependent Co-arising are embedded in the “I-making” of an organism. As well, your comment that it’s all “me” on stage, performing, flowing is consistent with the idea that we create each other in relationship – in the sense that the “you” on the stage is really “my” experience of you.

More tomorrow… ;-)

It’s interesting to think of the “self” as a performance – a new idea to me. What’s the scenario? What’s the script? Who else is onstage?

It’s all me, isn’t it? And “me” is . . .
