everything that a player does is always correct, with two significant exceptions:

- they did something that was not true to themselves
   because they did not know or trust themselves well enough.

- they did something that was not true to themselves
   because their medium* did not properly equip them to do so.


* that is, they were forced to act wrongly by a material lack of affordances

[ A. what is a game?
  B. a series of validating, validated, decisions. ]


invite the player to show you who they are. then,
accept them and give them what they love:
   i see and love you. here is what you asked for, here is the best gift i can think of,
   here is what you would have asked for, if you could.
or reject them knowing that you are passing judgement:
   this is the wrong person to be. i give you nothing. learn to become someone else.

Active Projects / TAROT - BOUNDARIES
Last post by droqen - November 14, 2024, 01:38:50 PM
[AB]

in thinking about printing my tarot cards, i have realized that they absolutely need BOUNDARIES.

boundaries

todo:
[ ] read the nature of order book two's chapter on the process of creating boundaries.
[ ] run experiments on boundarymaking -- note i have already done this somewhat, but i can see that much more work must be done. this is so exciting to me.

... i learned today that psychology and therapy are relatively new fields. but, something a hundred years old might be tradition enough for me to feel comforted by its hierophant-like stability. this card describes one of the motivations behind EXAT for me -- and part of it is education. this is one of those dead-obvious cards that tells me what i already know.

i don't mind. i like that stuff in readings. :)

DAY 47 - NOV 11 - 11 PM

seeking understanding. respect for creative process / results.
wanting to help others? to do something, to do something...
(i haven't sought earth-shattering change for a while have i?)
EXAT represents the entire field! i love that


q - my EXAT journey is sort of on hold... i'd like to focus more on it? but maybe i can't do it right now? i'm going to let it sit idle, a slow process. is there anything i'm forgetting to think about, or avoiding thinking about?
