Red Egg—the Idea

We believe there's a depth dimension—an inherent goodness and creativity and desire to connect within each of us.

We say it one way in the mantra on the portal to our website. And the tag-line above says it another way...contemplation through art into action. This doesn't mean that the movement is one-directional, but rather that each of these elements—contemplation, creativity, and action on behalf of others—is in a dynamic relationship with the others.

Each of us has integrated one or two of the dimensions more completely than the other(s). We are living, evolving organisms after all—individually and as a whole. And it isn't that each dimension deserves exactly one-third of our attention at any given moment anyway.

But still we believe that our natural movement, as we become more and more free, is towards this dynamic wholeness in which each of these dimensions spontaneously interacts.

That's who we think we are.

Nietzche reduced the play Hamlet to three words, "thought kills action." It's easier for me to act without contemplation because my mind tends to screw up my intention. So, one way I silence the beast to to attend Red Egg Events and get immersed in true action, unfathomable beauty and communion of spirit.

If it wasn't for the idea of training your mind like a puppy dog to go over in the corner and stay (thank you Pema Chodrin), life would be harder. Red Egg makes it simple to give thanks, help and enjoy the beauty around us. That's what Red Egg means to me :)Schweetie Cakes

"Contemplate" suggests several things, doesn't it? I was thinking "contemplative" in the sense of how we meditate and/or read a good novel or listen to music. But, yes, it can also suggest just "mulling things over," Hamlet-esque.
