In Case You're Asked
DeepFUN arises out of two important philosophical texts: The Well-Played Game and the Purported Utterances of the Oaqui. Both of these texts stress what is commonly called “fun.” Fun is an ancient Oaqui notion designating a form of energy. According to the philosophy of DeepFUN, this energy, fun, flows throughout the body and the community and the world, but can become blocked. According to the Oaqui, one becomes ill when the flow of the fun between body, community and world becomes blocked. The Oaqui recognize/s several means for freeing up the flow of fun. One such is DeepFUN.
In addition to its physical benefits, DeepFUN is said to have certain psychological effects as well. DeepFUN, as a form of meditation, is intended to help one enjoy oneself and to enable one to enjoy others and the world more thoroughly. This latter function is rooted in one's understanding of fun. This comes about through two principal notions: “me” and “we.” Though these two principles are seen as opposites, the one necessarily merges into the other, creating the natural balance of self, community and world, hence:
the classic symbol of DeepFUN. The ME\WE is a roadsign on the Playful Path, where self and community are back to their fundamental, natural harmony.
The ultimate effect of this harmony, according to the Oaqui and DeepFUN, is one's physical, social, ecological, and spiritual well-being.
