The situation is that a lesson in 101 class, symbolic science. Pick the nastiest ,wettest, coldest most inhospitable cave you can find, quicksand, puddles and mud, stalactites and stalagmites, creatures coming and going as they please, bat guano everywhere; what we in this culture we consider the ickiest place to be. You teach the basics, the sequence the flow, Fehu establishing priorities, Uruz find the strength, Thurasaz, the boundaries, Ansuz, communication, Raido the changes made from the communication, Kennaz the changes made along the path after the 1st step.

The disgustingness of the cave is designed to piss the students off. It will take them sometime to get mad but eventually they will get mad. Seating changes on a daily basis so that everyone has a chance at the worst spots and everyone gets disgustingly dirty at least once before the alpha blows. All of this is in preparation for the alpha of the group to get mad. When the alpha does get mad and blows, the kids are then shown through the act of pure observation how to work symbolic science. They will have learned where the bats do their dropping. They will have learned the path of the snakes, spiders. This science is not a science of “Wondering If?” it is based on “show me how you work”. In this science, you will learn why the snake picks the exact path that it picks; why a spider will put its web ion the exact position it puts it in. You will learn why a river picks that exact spot to alter its course, you will also learn why 2 leggers pick the choices they make. Why do the conquest tribes pick the paths they choose; there are answers. Why do the fanatical tribes choose the paths they choose; all have answers. Is your ability to pay attention high enough to pick up the smallest detail of the big picture?
