Finally arrived and getting ready to party

[Hazel CloudParticipant]

Tonight is part two!

ALL WELCOME

[Hazel CloudParticipant]

SO happy that you got to experience what has got us all in a craze! It is certainly one of its kind and in its own class. We are all fortunate to be participants in our own phases on our own _paths to enlightenment and understanding. What a beast of art this work has become! All the moving parts are truly what make this project a masterpiece.

I love hearing people’s accounts!

Sunday was the finale, so if you haven’t, you should certainly check the tension Facebook page where a video is linked.

Normally I would send you over to check out the periscope, but it cut out right at the end.

You should check out both as they offer different vantages.

Hope this helps!

Glory Be

You’re a gem.

[Hazel CloudParticipant]

Where is Horace?

[Hazel CloudParticipant]

Sorry. Just read this. I’m done.

While it’s true that this is community based, we are all on our OWN individual _path with varying experience and activity.

You get what you put in. They’ve said that a million times. I am not responsible for anyone else or their experience, only for my part in it.

If I felt as though you TRULY cared about me as an individual, I would be more inclined to accept the message you are attempting to send me.

There HAVE been moments where I have experienced the TRUE community of tension. There have been those who have RESPECTFULLY come to me, in private, with their legitimate concerns. THAT is the community I belong to.

This faux community on the boards is another thing altogether. I think the problem is that a lot of you think it’s the same thing.

[Hazel CloudParticipant]

No! :/ next time!!

Just a reminder that karaoke is kickin this Friday at THE GARAGE

[Hazel CloudParticipant]

This has always been such a tricky question, it seems, for this community.

I’ve noticed that they seem to rely on implications and inferences.

During certain portions of events it is clear there is to be mutual participation. Other times it’s obvious we are just observers, being explicitly instructed to only follow NEVER to touch or manipulate our environment.

As Andrew said, this can sometimes be the most difficult part of this kind of experience. Living in the hesitation. Maybe that was the point of tension- to have us always second guessing our place in the equation.

While I don’t think you ever get used to it, there is a strange catharsis in the struggle. It’s almost paradoxical. The comfort of knowing the situation is being controlled is the very thing that might unnerve you.

I believe they will tell us what they want from us and if our _path is meant to take a different turn.

[Hazel CloudParticipant]

I don’t have to defend myself to you.

If I am to apologize to anyone, it would be to the creators (which, I believe, I already have).

YOU aren’t the ones who painstakingly arranged such a grand finale, which I (albeit, accidentally) disrupted- having been in such a frazzled state and acting absent mindedly (having NOT kept up with the perisope).

We were, the lot of us, invited to an event that I was determined not to miss. I had absolutely no idea what I was walking in to- in fact- I was SURE I had missed it completely.

But, like I said, I don’t feel the need to defend myself to other participants.

Thanks for having my back Sean.

[Hazel CloudParticipant]

It looks that way. We are completing the first phase… this forum has (almost) met it’s goal.

After we wrap up here, we SHOULD move to the next forum- so it’s easier for people to keep track of the narrative.

[Hazel CloudParticipant]

We were explicitly instructed to observe or be ejected. What would you have us do?

[Hazel CloudParticipant]

I heard it too! I felt really bad. I didn’t realize it was that close. I had been quietly knocking for like 5 min. Whoops.

[Hazel CloudParticipant]

Watch all the periscopes!! periscope.tv/the_tension_exp

[Hazel CloudParticipant]

ALL THE FEELINGS!!!

So glad we are all in this together.
