Our virtual Rabbit Room- This site is a meeting room for the Original Participants to discuss the philosophy of Owen Barfield, as well as share and mutually critique our own literary endeavors.
Why Original Participants?
Original Participants comes from the term "Original Participation" coined by Owen Barfield. I was introduced to the philosophy of Barfield in a class taught by Jefferey Taylor at Metropolitan State College of Denver and was immediately hooked. I am a graduate student now at the Medieval Institute at WMU and still find myself analyzing much of what I learn through Barfield's paradigm of evolution of consciousness. The blog is a space for me to write out thoughts and papers, which all have the common thread of dealing with that topic. I also post some of my poetry because poetry is always about evolution of consciousness. Please feel free to comment.

Blood from our Soul
That which animates our earthen bodies is unique to the universe and can only manifest itself upon this earth through our material bodies. We can let that unique intelligence which was made with the same material as God retain itself and not flavor the earth with its precious ingredient, or we can let our soul bleed out over the earth and leave behind our scent for others to sense as they too pass through in their earthen vessles. Slash your soul to pieces! Grind it, mutilate it, and let its essence run, glowing, upon the dust to bring it out all the more green and alive for others. Bleed out thee, thy soul, upon the earth! Bleed out, and touch the fate of the material universe!
