This was a difficult and uncanny conversation that I never thought would make public presentation
Let me know what you think where the incoherence was coming from?

I think the conversation was good. And painful.
On balance, I could not stop a sense of sympathy for J. I think that after a number of exchanges, conversations transcend into a sense of togetherness or flow or they slide into a manifestation of power (the phenomenology of ‘sliding’ includes other patterns as well).
In chess, J was in zugzwang.
I too loved the moment where you name teaching as sacred. A sacredness that grounds itself not in an individual shining but in humble recognizing of our finitude, the limitation of our concepts, and our need for or formation by other, human and nonhuman, in how we fundamentally live, relate and thus how we frame what is unfolding, what is knowable, what is worthy of our investment.
The dialogue of wisdom sometimes categorizes the wise as superior, the worthy rulers of thought.
But i heard a invitation into humility, wisdom grounded in embeddedness and service, manifest in opportunities to inter-be, to hold sacred the learning of young ones, or the loving craftsmanship of shoemakers or the earth herself whose depths are often invisible to human eye. Wisdom as knowing our place within a much broader view.
I wonder if the incoherence came from the historical practice of dialogue and use of language which presses into a continuous privileging of the mind and it’s frameworks which inevitably result in categorization as opposed to embodying (not just on the individual level but also the collective).
Resonance and knowing from a body level often struggle with words, and image or song or movement are necessary for expression. Instead this is the realm of art, of spirit and of story.
And perhaps right relationship comes in how we transmit, transform and decay into what will be.
