You are invited to join Collapse Dialogue #2 on Monday, June 29th from 6 ~ 9 pm
I have been collaborating with artist/activist Lydia Eccles who has introduced me to thinking about climate disruption in a new way.
Thought is never just thought, It’s also the bodily state, the feeling, the nerves. It connects with everything else.
It’s not merely intellectual activity. And it passes between people. It’s all one process all over the world.
David Bohm ~ Thought As A System
COLLAPSE DIALOGUE is an embodied, face-to-face experiment in conscious observation of our collective
system of thought as it relates to social-environmental collapse. Investigative principles of insight meditation
are applied to our collective expression to allow us to perceive incoherance caused by individual and cultural
conditioning, and other inherent flaws in thought itself. The Dialogue is free of any agenda; we are not trying to
reach conclusions, find concensus, plan action or learn the latest figures about climate disruption. Everything is
allowed. Habits of persuasion, debate and self-censorship are to be abandoned. We aim to develop the ability
to suspend our beliefs and judgments to listen with full ‘selfless’ attention to others, and more especially, to
our own reactivity as it arises: thoughts, emotions, feelings, body sensations... Hidden assumptions emerge
through friction between us, producing discomfort that we affirmatively choose to sustain rather than escape,
so we can see into presuppositions, ideas and beliefs that subtly control our interactions and reveal puzzling
patterns of fragmentation, repression, avoidance, denial, conflict. Our agreement to carefully lower instinctive
ego defenses, to speak truly and spontaneously, opens a free flow of meaning between us.
Physicist David Bohm and philospher Krishnamurti addressed systematic faults in thought, and saw
them as the root cause of global incoherence. Bohm conceived of Dialogue as a way to ‘see through’ thought,
yet he never specifically defined a process.
We will create a template based on our 5-session experiment.

These "toys" (see photos below) were seen recently at Target!
Some are for six year olds.
Do children know we are at war?

"Combat to Campus" video on Youtube : Margaret Bellafiore
Wed Dec 08, 2010
Two Bridgewater State University students created this short video documenting the recent sound installation at BSU, Combat to Campus, Voices of Veterans.:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbTyuBQfvPE
I am pleased that the students made the video and posted it on Youtube and the Bridgewater BTV9 access sites. Of course, they expressed their own views of my piece and their own final statements at their "anchor desk."
I found it difficult and frankly personally conflicting to somehow (not sure how!) to express both honor and respect for the student veterans I interviewed and at the same time express my feelings against war and all its horror.
Peace,
Margaret Bellafiore
