#further learning

[feathersforclones]

„You know, I don’t normally mind this. Further training I mean.” Fives’ head had landed on the wooden table a long time ago, approximately 5 minutes after the lecture started, a soft monotone voice wafting through the room like the most tantalizing sleep agent he had ever heard. Echo was on the edge of his chair, pinching his own thigh every few minutes to not fall asleep, because even if he normally loved regulations and the rule book, this session was just torture.

He was also the one mumbling to his unfortunate Brothers. “I love regs…” he whines softly, free hand reaching over to inconspicuously slap away the hand Hardcase had his own head rest on, eyelids heavy and closing every few seconds. It seemed to be a fight the Trooper would not be able to win anytime soon. “I like reading the books.” Jesse had given up only a few minutes after Fives, leaning with his full weight on Kix, who was silently suffering through it all, typing on a medical Datapad or trying to break the scrambler their Captain had set outside the door, who would know?

“But this is torture.” Echo’s head felt so heavy, the voice of the grey blob way down the rows of seats and tables only coaxing him further into the state of a resting soldier. Not quite awake but not quite asleep either.

He didn’t even know what the whole lecture was about! Only that it was held by Master Rancisis and should be about Communication, or.. something else starting with a C, of that he was quite sure. Could be anything at this point in time though. But he knew that he couldn’t succumb or else his Tortu- his Captain would just send them again!

“This is all Fives’ fault!” he hissed to the others, a chorus of soft whines and grunts answering him in the same tone of voice. And one soft snore. “If he hadn’t double-dog-dared all of us, none of this would have happened!”

Every Brothers pair of eyes squinted over at the snoring form of the One they had followed into the dare. The growling sound was enough to make their chairs and desks vibrate from their shared fury. And now that Brother dared to be asleep while they all had to suffer???

With a loud slapping sound, multiplied by many hands and fists finding a soft body clad out in only his blacks the Brothers released their anger. Fives yelped loudly, springing up and over the desk, crashing to the floor in an undignified heap while screeching. “REALLY CAPTAIN! IT WAS ECHO! ECHO PUT HIS RED SHIRT INTO YOUR WHITE UNDERWEAR LAUNDRY!”

#152 - Lesson Plan Sharing

The 2021 Oscars are near! (I’m actually keen to find out how they are going to handle the red carpets...handing out the awards...and the actual seating in the auditorium.)

The upside that the time of nominations is the ability to be able to view the scripts (I actually should be searching earlier as FYC links probably would be up earlier). So when I looked up ‘Soul’....I ended up discovering a lesson plan sharing site. It’s not exactly like the Khan Academy where the actual lessons are being replayed.

Even if I’m resistant in getting structured education (I’m more: I’ll sort it out when I need it), it’ll be interesting to look through what’s available.

——————————————————————————————

Note 1: If I had a chance to stick a sticky note, that had ‘awesome’ written on it, on something or someone  (There’s an ad that had people walking around with sticky notes one them that said ‘like’ —- was it from Canon?).

I do know that because this would be a long list (10,000 WHAT!?), there is a chance that I may double up (or triple? I hope not!)…so I give you my blessing to give me a ‘stern talking to’ if you do spot duplicates.

To get all the other entries: just click here.

Note 2: At times I get asked about all sorts of connection about the project — I’m going to say that the biggest connection would have been me listening to Neil Pasricha’s TED talk. Since I was doing the 10,000 Notes (the goal is now 50,000) of Encouragement at that time — I thought I’d mirror that same number

PS: Somehow #58 & #93 doesn’t show up even with the tag. :(

What this is not

While this is a journal of my experience establishing a daily practice, it is not a place to learn established Tantra techniques. I will not be fully describing or instructing the Cobra Breath in particular. The reasons here are many: primarily I am not qualified to share it effectively and would not do so online. Additionally, as part of the training I agreed not to disseminate the knowledge. None of this is intended to tantalize. In fact, I would seriously encourage anyone reading this with an interest in internal development to seek out more knowledge and training than I can give here. I will be speaking of certain aspects of the practice of course and am happy to share what I am able. The training goes much deeper than I can express though. That type of learning is often best done in person or with a professional guide.
