tasp has been an experience that remains in crystal clarity even to this day. thanks to you all for being part of it.

maintenance issue:
blogspot has "upgraded" to a platform that requires a google id to get in. apparently, i'm the one who has the final word on whether or not to switch, and i'd like input / suggestions from all of you. do you think such an upgrade (that requires an extra sign-up for those of you who don't already have google accouts) will even further deter taspers from posting?

I might be in Paris for a 3-4 day stint at the end of January. Are any of you going to be over there, somewhere?

1. I don't know what I'm doing in Beijing.
2. If you gave your hand a name, I mean really gave it a name, you'd be giving it a little bit of a soul. Not to the degree that you give a discrete entity a soul by naming it, but I think to a lesser degree. It's like when a person names his or her sex organs. On the one hand the name respects the organs abilities to interfere with, influence, or even contradict the thoughts of the greater self, but I think on the other hand, the name creates the second entity. Before naming, an organ or an animal, it is simply an organ or an animal; afterwards it has a name, it is itself. I think this is one that you definitely have to try for it to make sense, but if you want to see it in practice, think about the dog's people keep in their houses versus the dogs people eat. Where is the difference? The animals are clearly 'the same' but somehow not. A species has a soul different than that of the animals that comprise it, and that a tool can have a soul if used correctly and with the right investment of self.
3. I'm not talking about some objective soul. There clearly, empirically, isn't an objective soul. If there were one that we could cut out and measure, than it wouldn't be a soul, it would have a name and would become something else. The soul, I suppose, is the part that we behave-as-if exists, but categorically can't isolate or remove. If you mention that one study about the 2 or so grams that one exhales on death, I'd like to point to the sample size, which was too small and makes the data meaningless… also, the results haven't been repeatd.
4. Yes, Beijing has a soul, wrought from ancient times upon this patch of dry and defeated dirt; a black monster sinister yet full of potential. Many love the place, but at the end of summer I can feel the earth beneath the city, and she isn't terribly happy about this sprawling growth above her.
Like so many termites.

Congrats Matt. Excited? I am. Remember us all to them, will you? Have a blast-

So, is anyone else excited about the Olympics?

love.
