"What Do We Do?" You think that you do things on your own volition... but do you? TC and Jason discuss the Gurdjieff concept of happenstance, the idea that despite our supposed "free will", we are actually limited to a very strict set of parameters, and our lack of awareness of those parameters only helps to re-enforce them. TONIGHT at 11pm EST on The Ooze. www.blogtalkradio.com/theooze

Pretty sweet. I have found that through intentional suffering one can at least see the things that govern his decisions, & the freedom or lack there of in those decisions.
Awake!

Listening to it right now. Your description of the toy you identify with is genius. All people are inherit to this on some level I think. Good self reflection.
It was cool hearing Zach's story. Good example.
Competition from childhood to adulthood was a good part. The play ground was a good analogy.
The 7th rule is because members Weren't sure if it was bogging down the action & boring others you could say. Perhaps a few fights were broken up because it was taking to long. This rule was made to show that Fight Club has a deeper meaning that just to entertain it's members. It's about what the to fighters are experiencing. Let them do it to what ever end. That is the point, they must be given the chance to see where they'll take it.
The 9th rule is well explained. It ends talking, it ends discussion. Why are you here & you will experience what we experience? This is not something to be intellectualized.
Fight Club was a huge wake up call to the world & it has already made it's mark.
Nice work between you & Xeno Jason. You broke it all down mostly & it was pretty well explained. I think many lessons can be learned from the film in relation to the Fourth way. Lots of intentional suffering & also the self observation that takes place during a fight. You really learn a lot about your self & your fears of confrontation. Awake!
