Simon says san francisco




















Other commands are pass, shoot, dribble in front, around your back, between your legs, with your left hand, spin on your finger, dunk, etc. Students should mirror the action and touch their nose. Continue the game, saying touch your ears, touch your knees, etc. His letter says the album cover is a little battered after traveling with him from University Heights to San Francisco with various stops in between.

It was not immediately clear if the library had known the record was missing. As long as we get the item back, we see no need to penalize people. Next came a sitdown with Michael Pilawski, the director of athletics. Simon requested an opportunity to become the PA announcer for the freshman football team, and that same night Pilawski called him back with one stipulation: Simon also had to fill the PA announcing role for the JV football team.

Over time, Simon has developed his own style. He handles himself professionally, but is not afraid to drop a funny line. They are trying to get ready for their game. He will act as the ambassador of ceremonies, announcing sponsorships and between-inning activities. And in the fall, during his senior year at St. But I am having my own experience as well, which is having to do with what is the nature of consciousness.

How am I here? How am I me? I made a piece some years ago called Mnemonic which was about memory. It fascinated me in the terms of the fact of the biochemistry of memory tells you memory does not exist anywhere very specific in the brain. Now there are specific places it passes through - the Hippocampus, for example, at the base of the brain.

But, by and large, the whole brain is involved in memory. Because it is a set of electrical impulses. When you remember something you are remaking that electrical pattern. But that is the same process as when you imagine.

No two memories are the same - even when you have what is called a photographic memory and the things appear to be the same again and again and again.

That is because every time you remember it - even though you think it is absolutely specific - it changes fractionally all-the-time-all-the-time-all-the-time-all-the-time. Memory and imagination are the same thing. In other words, memory is a creative act. You have to make a memory. The mind is not a computer. It is much messier.

And it is fundamentally a continuously creative thing. It is alive. I am aware of guiding it but I feel more like a kind of musician than I do necessarily just an actor performing the role. The truth is that you create together. The whole planet is alive and we are just an extension of that life on earth. We are a part of it. KS: You say that you are very connected to place and flora and fauna.

Do you think that the earth itself in all its extensions has consciousness? SM: Consciousness is a very, very tricky and contentious issue. If you read someone such as Daniel Dennett who wrote a book called Consciousness Explained - which has also got the joke title amongst a lot of neuroscientists as Consciousness Explained Away - you will imagine that consciousness is just what might be called epiphenomenon, a product of evolution, and a kind of illusion.

The definition of consciousness is very difficult because we all feel conscious and yet we know that our consciousness is just a tiny part of the way we live in the world. The majority of our lives are unconscious. We seem to be able only to study consciousness when something happens to the brain.

That is only one aspect of consciousness. The living entity is part of the process of life. And so if consciousness is part of life then it is a part of the life that exists outside of us as well as our interior world.

When I was in the Amazon and I talked the Mayoruna tribe about where their consciousness is - in the west we say that our consciousness is somewhere behind our frontal lobe - but as far as they were concerned when I asked where theirs was they pointed to the forest.

I thought they misunderstood, so I kept on asking the question in many different ways and having it translated in many different ways. What I came to understand is that for them their inner world is inseparable from their outer world. So that if you do something outside of yourself you are affecting your interior world So it is much more fluid. The idea of the frontier of what is inside and out is not determined by the edge of your skin or the limits of your neurological makeup but is continuous and is contiguous with what is outside.

If you destroy the world outside, you destroy your inner world. Or if you start to fuck around with inner world, it has consequences with your outer world and hence in this piece, if you will, the question of the way we think about our world is at the heart of the play. KS: My own theory of consciousness - my spiritual belief - is that consciousness exists by itself separate from us.

It is free. It is floating. It has to come into the human experience to know about suffering. It itself is born into the human experience as we are born. Consciousness is learning about suffering by residing in the human form. So that, in learning about that, it knows more. Educates itself in a way, I guess.

And then the minute we die, we heal.
