I wrote a short piece reflecting on the first two Trash Community meetings:
thefailedbuddhist.wordpress.com/2019/07/22/a-desperate-call-to-immanence/
As I say in the piece, I have found these conversations extremely useful, while at the same time they have raised certain questions which I believe should be made explicit. For example, what are the intentions which motivate our participation in this experiment? Is there any shared understanding from which we can agree to begin (for instance with the shared understanding of the necessity of an immanent approach)? If this is not the case, is the aim of Trash Community less about moving in any particular direction with respect to an intention on how to act in the world, or is it a loosely defined opportunity to engage in vehement and passionate debates about the place of transcendence and immanence?
Any thoughts?
