Episode 22: A Meditation for Thinking with Others

The following is an extract taken from a meditative play manual. In the complete manuscript, this manual describes meditations for various forms of play: musical, imagistic, felt, embodied. This particular meditation is devised for the play of thought with a group, perhaps with about 3-10 people. It seems as though the meditation could be performed in as little as 30 minutes, or in as much as 1-2 hours. The main pedagogical content of the meditation resides in the first half of the text. The second half of the text is an expanded metaphysical outline of the possible unfoldings of the conversation. It is recommended to read the entire meditation through before undergoing its directions.
