Authentic Living - Episode 14

This is a location in which well-being is beautifully yet frugally supported, suitably philanthropically and respectfully realistically.

Do you consider authentic living to be a premium experience? 

You may associate premium experiences with premium pricing.

How much have you paid for this premium experience here today?

If you do not consider being here to be a premium experience, why not?

Perhaps you do not associate authentic living with the purchase, or sale, of anything.

How do you compare premium pricing with value-based pricing in relation to authentic living?

Perhaps you are not yet adequately familiar with the location of Frugality Cottage.

How much time do you usually spend in ethereal clouds?

When have you regarded your mind as being similar to such a cloud?

What do you know about quaternary education and training?

You may be aware that the provision of such education and training can only be authentically described in terms of premium products and services.  

There is therefore no tacky merchandise authentically associated with quaternary education and training. 

Should you wish to purchase a promotional product associated with this digital arts quarter, please expect to pay for the associated authenticity and authentication quite handsomely.

What do you know about the etymology of the word 'handsome'?

Perhaps you have often paid handsomely for something of inadequate value.

The assessment of value is a highly skilled occupation in itself.  In some situations, it is even highly deserving of handsome recompense.

But how do you know which situations deserve that response?

How do you usually show appreciation and respect when gaining access to a special place, a valuable resource and/or a wonderful opportunity?

Most people do not have the financial resources with which to be officially regarded as financial patrons here in Frugality Cottage, or anywhere else in this digital arts quarter for that matter.

That is why most people are expected to pay for their patronage mainly through the expression of wisdom instead.

As you will be well aware by now, unless you are appropriately registered as a patron of the work within Frugality Cottage, you will not currently have access to the sitting room here, or the attic, or the kitchens, or to the wider Adelaidezone, within and beyond its digital arts quarter.

You may also be aware that certainty in this vicinity is mainly associated with the work conducted from the nearby Hall of Appropriate Patronage. 
 
Unless you are already appropriately registered as one of the patrons here, you will not have access to that magnificent hall.

You may be aware that reasonableness is the only basis of certainty.  

It is reasonable for the volunteers here to assume you have already attended all the relevant prior workshops, courses and information sessions here.

Have you ever experienced impostor syndrome in relation to your desire for authentic living?

If you are considered by the volunteers here to be only an ordinary member of the global public, you will still have access to this noticeboard for a little while longer.  

You will also still have access to the library, at least for the next few moments.

The digital entranceway you are currently experiencing is not a public space.  It is a privately-owned, communally-managed location, as is Frugality Cottage more generally.  

What have you discovered in the sitting room, and when, and why, and with whom?
