well... as for me
first session (not that there has been a second) with iON
i said "wooow iON, it's really YOU hey!" (or something like that)
and he said "in the FLESH"
took my breath away and set the precedent for me
so Bart, stop being so jealous
it's pure physical
makes my legs weak
my heart skip a beat
and leaves me breathless
the most profound encounter
he's like a goddam tuning fork!
Yes, in the flesh. From the very beginning, iON was
speaking in carnal terms with Bob.
Quote:
Carnal
car·nal Show Spelled[kahr-nl]
adjective
1. pertaining to or characterized by the flesh or the body, its passions and appetites; sensual: carnal pleasures.
2. not spiritual; merely human; temporal; worldly: a man of secular, rather carnal, leanings.
I think we're seeing a pattern here...
It's flesh. It's physical. It's carnal.
Becuase iON only shares what he knows is (somewhat)
OK for public consumption (at least here, perhaps) - iON
knows what will be shared before he speaks - I don't
mind sharing here that in at least one session, iON's advice
was to "Stick it in. Get it hard and stick it in."
So, I was just nodding and saying, "OK. Sure...",thinking
absently to myself, "What does it
mean...?" ahahaha
"Is there a metaphor there? What's a meta for?" ahah
iON said my relationship to this process was carnal. I like
the word. I like the physicality, and I love the literal approach
to all of this.
Metaphor takes the limitless qualities out of our hands and
experience. Literalness puts it right there.
I want to fucking be able to eat Jupiter! I want to be able to
fly! I want to create worlds - universes! And so I shall.

Edit to add: I re-listened to my session where iON
mentioned the word "carnal". iON actually said my experience
was "not carnal", but then proceeded to speak about enjoying
pleasure, passion and the appetites, so either he misspoke, or
he's effected a mind fuck on me.]
