So we have a lot of kids of our own design so that others don't try to make us join their projects but there are only so many people who can fly different types of bodies so we know better than to try to make too many like ourselves but some of us have ideas about how to integrate those who aren't entirely like us but have ports of connection to various aspects of the way we think and do things. This is what Gramps is all about and he runs the crew that is pretty much like us but enough like everyone else to want to guide them and elide between us.
He told me that its good to be proud of the kind of person anyone is but there is a difference between that and what turns into nationalism and stuff like that. Its also good to see ourselves as part of our place in the whole world.
However, I am reminded that we are the meek who inherit the earth, and we are helping the others to process through what they need to deal with in order to move on to where they need to be because some of them have time to work out major problems in less gentle places before things are finally decided and if they don't work these things out they will lose a good chance.
I was thinking about a symbol Goody was talking about

basically like this if it posts right. I was talking to Ain't Bee about punching her brother in the nose but I meant the moon nose not the sun nose, and then wondered if she knew what I was talking about and then realized of course she did because this symbol is all over Mongolia then I got to thinking about how before we had physics making our perception of things seem a bit local, we talked about how the mind self and the body self resonated to form the sun or face self and there are still different ways to think about the energies in the world and even if some science comes along and makes our explanations seem odd, we are talking about something that is real and its also normal for different things happening in the world to cause us to need to update our teaching methods.
*while searching for this image I saw a blue flag with a gold eagle as the moon and a sun over it, and Kok Tingri is sometimes portrayed as a rather Cthulhu looking eagle/snake thing, and while I was thinking about that thing with Ain't Bee an ancestor type though she'd probably kick me for calling her old its just the vocabulary used locally here, was telling me that the moon is Kok Tingri*
**I'm guessing but pretty much knowing also that this symbol is often over the OM letter in sanskrit because it is the visualization of "om ah hung"**
