The Meditating Philosopher | After Socrates' Ecology of Practices : Being with You I Notice | Episode 10 @TheMeditatingPhilosopher | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
In Episode 10 John shares many insights into the imaginal as a part of the psyche/soul that can help us move towards our aspirational selves as well as open up aspects of the world to us in profound and real ways.

_______

Noticing Practice (normally in 2, can be done in 4)
The thing we are noticing, generally, is what’s here right now for us.
This can be a feeling, a thought, a sensation, emotion, or objective observation (something a camera can catch)

“Being with you, I notice … "

"Hearing that … I notice …"

When you’re doing this, it doesn’t have to be a direct response to what the person said:
“ex: being with you, I notice I’m curious ..”
"hearing that, I’m wondering what we’re having for lunch.”

It doesn’t have to be a race. If you want a challenge, wonder about the thing I notice underneath the thing being said.

It is spending time enacting, educing, and enhancing philia; the horizontal dimension.
