Dear NtFs, Dear no-more-monotheism-or-polytheism f/Friends, and Dear atheist Quakers,
Am seeing / exploring the idea of online Meeting House's as places for NtF meditation as well.
'Silent Meeting in the Manner of Friends / Quakers' is what I recall on the sign in front of the Pittsburgh Friends' Meeting house in the mid-1970s. I'm wishing Google Streetview with time slider - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pittsburgh+Friends+Meeting+House/@40.4491804,-79.9458531,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipOJseRoFIKS1wIq0yDX2dQ21wUJLjeFmoPIuKZB!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipOJseRoFIKS1wIq0yDX2dQ21wUJLjeFmoPIuKZB%3Dw152-h86-k-no!7i2560!8i1440!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xa5b9300d754b86da!8m2!3d40.4491804!4d-79.9458531 - was a little further along so we could check the history of this with ever increasing accuracy ... (Emailed about this in these 2 NtF threads as well - "[NTF-talk] New and Interested" ... and ... "Nontheist Friendly 'NtF Conversation about Meditation'")
You can see the Pittsburgh Friends' Meeting Google Streetview TIME SLIDER function here 10 different years between 2007 and 2017 ~ https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pittsburgh+Friends+Meeting+House/@40.4493857,-79.9461755,3a,75y,129.24h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sEn5CXeuhYMvLFYk6pmd_pg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xa5b9300d754b86da!8m2!3d40.4491804!4d-79.9458531 ~ and this is the Meeting House from in front of which I used to head to Peace Marches and Anti-War rallies in Washington DC in the 1970s as a teen (before registering as a CO when Selective Service / pre-draft was instituted in around 1979; the American War in Vietnam's draft still fresh in people's mind, - and with all those American lives lost so tragically, by an out of control war machine, for a craziness). Am an appreciator re Quakers and now NtFs in questioning the law by protesting it when it's wrong, but am also a Friendly appreciator of both laws, as well as psychiatry (for Quakers / Friends), when the laws are just and protect victims, and are broken by Friends creating victims.
Possible names for un-programmed NtF Quaker Meeting meditation, besides 'Silent Meeting in the Manner of Friends
And both "Silent Communion / Communitas in the manner of Friends" and "Friends' Meeting" work for me too. Appreciating as an anthropologist the "communitas' word ... and a heightened experience of liminality (Victor Turner). (Am curious in an ongoing way (as I've written before) about how to elicit 'loving bliss neurophysiology' in Friends' Meeting as well).
For me, language matters (as someone who is Jacque Lacan MD inclined as well), and building on Quaker / Friends' language has much merit re NtFS, but Google Time Slider, for example, doesn't go back to the 1700, 1800s and 1900s that I've seen either yet. (Am hoping World Univ & Sch can facilitate this for Meeting House places, STEM field sites, and classrooms + ).
Friendly regards, Scott
