"Equilibrium Void" (theirs) vs "Second Sky" (ours): please stop treating them as the same word

tbh This thread is for careful reading, not quote-mining. Meridian language gives us vocabulary, but it does not endorse our movement-side interpretations.

Members cite Meridian for language, not permission. The good threads here are about the boundary between source material and wishful reading.

Useful thread. I would keep the language descriptive: what happened, when it happened, what ordinary explanation might account for it, and what remains. That sequence protects the practice from becoming theatre.

I appreciate the restraint here. The more specific the notes are, the less I feel the need to inflate them. ;)

This matches something from my own log, but not exactly. I am trying to resist the urge to merge the two experiences just because the language overlaps.

Small reminder: if this material makes practice feel urgent, step back. Urgency is usually not the field. It is usually the nervous system.

I would love to see people include dates, duration, whether they were alone or in circle, and what they expected beforehand. Expectation is data too.
