Document Summary
Class 1 - the riddle of the sphinx. Only when you know the question will you know what the answer is. Taking another point of view, seeing with fresh eyes. What happens when you hang out with people that hang out with other kind of beings. Challenges of communicating with other kinds of beings. How to interpret the dreams of dogs: amazonian sphynx (jaguar): ritel of the jaguar = if you sleep face down, i will eat you. If you sleep face up, i will recognize you are a human. Sees the world in two ways: someone like me i am not gonna mess with or meat. Four legs in the morning: in what ways are we like animals (what goes on four). We are more than just beings enjoying sunset, we are living and dying beings. Two legs at noon: this is what makes us distinctively humans. Only we speak language, have a culture, only we have society.
