The first gets you in the mood. The second does the deal. Any other
questions?

[OSLIST] 2 martinis

 


 

 




Hello!

The topic of principles, law and origins of OST comes up quite 
frequently on this LIST. Sometimes the conversations head up high into 
the sky. As my butterfly wings can't carry my bumblebee body that high, 
tried to find the answers a bit lower. Most times during these 
conversations "two martinis" are mentioned. So I was wondering may be 
there is the key to be found. Jeremy Narby has an idea, that lot of 
native people medicine  formulas are given to them by the plants. It 
needs some special state of mind of course to be able to receive them.
So I opened Wikipedia to find out what the martini is about. And of 
course as an European I have been totally blind about the meaning of the 
"martini".
At first it is a totally American invention. "H.L Mencken once called 
the martini "the only American invention as perfect as the sonnet"."^ 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martini_%28cocktail%29#cite_note-1>
So what kind of formula is offered to us by martini?
It starts with the 4/1: "a standard modern martini is an approximate 
four to one ratio". So here is the origin of 4 principles and 1 law.
"It is served in glass" - here comes the circle (when one looks at the 
glass from upside down). And "it is garnished with a green olive" (the 
facilitator). This is probably the essence. The rest comes almost by 
itself - "it is a cocktail - mix of different ingredients" (participants).
I wouldn't believe it is that simple.

With best,

Arno Baltin
