I've seen the term "grok" on your blogs a few times but I've never seen it used anywhere else. That Heinlein novel sounds fascinating, I might check it out sometime.
Diane, do you receive the monthly Advaita Fellowship Newsletter? June's 'Message from Wayne' is short and very sweet, and points to what he calls apperceiving/grokking.
If you don't get it, I could send it to you somehow.
Although the Heinlein book was 'big' when it came out, more recently I just looked for the passages about 'grokking.'
I also love this quote and I'd like to receive the Advaita Newsletter. Maybe you could send me the link at my email colleen.loehr@gmail.com. Thanks Tom.
And life goes on whether "we" even "get it" (understand it) or not.
ReplyDeleteNeat pointer and title. :)
Thanks Diane, are you familiar with the term 'grok' from the sci-fi novel 'Stranger in a Strange Land' by Robert Heinlein?

ReplyDeleteHi Tom, I just subscribed to the newsletter, although the note said it could take a few weeks to receive the first one.
ReplyDeleteMy email is moocowbell@aol.com if you could send the June issue. Thanks.
