Memory presentations start Friday
Have one liners from Ong for next class
Final project: Musey Room (museum)--room filled with actual presence of muses and her mother, Mnemosyne. Poster presentations are a simple labyrinth, but rather a cabinet of curiosities with secret doors leading to other rooms--not only unleashing the memory stored in the musey room, but the brave reckless gods--same goal.
Imaginal: imaginary friends as children were not imaginary. We retained awareness that they were not a part of the real world, but that they were real because they occupied real space.

psychosomatic--a condition caused or aggravated by a mental factor such as internal conflict or stress.

Be a curator for you musey room. Care for the items in order to cure the terrible situation of being an ant.
Alchemy--the purification of the soul of its impure elements so as to become perfect
Writing restructures consciousness--Ong takes something of the noble savage in his attitudes toward primary oral culture
