That afternoon, I was asleep in RL in Tokyo. Stim was the guardian for that slot, but couldn’t get in in time, so instead Fael later sent me the chat log. The comments are mine.
When Fael entered, Adams, Delani and Sky were already there.
Sky Szimmer: ok. haven’t been here in a while. have both of you been coming to this long
Delani Gabardini: here comes fael
Fael Illyar: Hello :)
Sky Szimmer: wonderful entrance!
Faenik: could be
Adams Rubble: This is my fourth time
Delani Gabardini: fael - u look like a mermaid
Delani Gabardini: I have been here before
Adams Rubble: Hello Fael
Delani Gabardini: u look lovely fael
Fael Illyar: thank you :)
Sky Szimmer: How are the 9 sec been for you all?
Adams Rubble: I started making a little progress today
Delani Gabardini: going well
Fael Illyar: I’ve been coming here for a little over a week
Delani Gabardini: i think isen and moon are coming
Sky Szimmer: great.
Delani Gabardini: Moon is on the phone right now
I was glad to see Sky playing the role of guardian, effectively, that session.
Sky Szimmer: so what do you think so far, Adams
Adams Rubble: These sessions have been helpful
Adams Rubble: Yesterday Fael remarked about how when she started she was focused on the body
Adams Rubble: That suggestion got me started to today
Adams Rubble: Instead of just hearing sounds I became aware of myself
Adams Rubble: I started a blog too
Sky Szimmer: Oh? what do you mean? physically?
Delani Gabardini: good for u adams
Faenik: ah :)
Adams Rubble: It showed I had some continuity between the 9 second intervals
Sky Szimmer: wow!
Adams Rubble: Somewhere in my brain the thoughts lingered
Fael Illyar: Nice to hear you’re getting started :)
Adams Rubble: Thanks
Sky Szimmer: can you say more Adams about becoming aware of yourself and not the sounds
Adams Rubble: Originally I was focused on the environmental noise
Adams Rubble: At one point today I could feel the inside of my skull
Adams Rubble: I was aware of the air rushing through my nose like a wind tunnel
Delani Gabardini: awareness - good
Adams Rubble: It made me think how glad I was to be alive
How wonderful to hear these reports of things happening and stirring in so many different ways, soon after starting the PaB explorations!
Sky Szimmer: that’s wonderful
Sky Szimmer: there are so many new faces here. this has grown so much since Pema started a month of so ago
Fael Illyar: seems to be growing quite fast :)
Sky Szimmer: has it been hard to keep up with everyone?
Adams Rubble: ?
Delani Gabardini: what does that mean, sky
Sky Szimmer: well, at the beginning, I got to know some of the people just through regular visits, but then it has been awhile,
Sky Szimmer: then there are many new players joining, and was just wondering if you all have gotten to know each other over your visits
Adams Rubble: Do you mean being aware of other people’s progress or just the people?
Delani Gabardini: I knew most of these before PaB
Sky Szimmer: both
Delani Gabardini: that is why i am here
Faenik: ah :)
Delani Gabardini: except for u and adams
Adams Rubble: I am getting to know people but I have not been regular in my attendance
Adams Rubble: I have gotten encouragement from hearing other people talk about their experiences
Adams Rubble: received
Delani Gabardini: hey Moon
Fael Illyar: There are a few people I see on the blogs in sessions I haven’t been a part of that I don’t know
Adams Rubble: Hello Moon
Moon Fargis: hello everyone
Fael Illyar: Hi Moon
Delani Gabardini: why is isen over there?
Moon arrived, followed by Isen.
Fael Illyar: Hi Isen
Delani Gabardini: hi isen
Adams Rubble: Hello Isen
Isen Enzo: Greetings all.
Moon Fargis: ok phonecall over.. lets pab :)
Delani Gabardini: go for it
Adams Rubble: :)
Isen Enzo: We are it!
Delani Gabardini: is that what I think it is
Moon Fargis: so what did you talked about already?
Delani Gabardini: we r a quiet group today
Moon Fargis: ohh
Isen Enzo: We could meditate…
Delani Gabardini: but we won’t be for long I suspect
Moon Fargis: :)
Moon Fargis: adams: did we met before?
Adams Rubble: Yes
Adams Rubble: I am dressed quite differently
Moon Fargis: hmm i really cant remember names:)
Fael Illyar: I’m dressed rather differently too :)
Adams Rubble: :)
Sky Szimmer: Wanted to talk about being relaxed as part of dropping
Moon Fargis: yes ariel..ehhm i mean fael
Faenik is a hairy black ball with eyes and ears.
Sky focused on the notion of stopping and dropping. I had mentioned those a few times before, and in turn much of what I know about them I have learned from Stim. Sky in RL has attended many of the teaching sessions of Stim, Steven Tainer in RL, so she has heard them before as well. Of course, in PaB we will have to find our own way of making these ideas come to life.
Sky Szimmer: What have your experiences with dropping?
Sky Szimmer: or stopping?
Moon Fargis: what do you drop ?
Sky Szimmer: self, ego whatever delusions there are
Fael Illyar: :)
Isen Enzo: The BIG drop!
Delani Gabardini: ego is like velcro
Isen Enzo: sticky?
Sky Szimmer: the Big drop. i like that
Delani Gabardini: yes hard to remove
Isen Enzo: feathers are natures velcro…
Moon Fargis: do you think the ego is dropable? wouldnt that mean you have to pick it up again ?
The topic of dropping was dropped quite quickly.
Isen Enzo: yes- and what about “relax”- does that imply that we need to “lax again”?
Isen Enzo: lax on…
Isen Enzo: lax off..
Delani Gabardini: deep thinking isen
Isen Enzo: i worry about these things…
Isen Enzo: am i too lax?
Delani Gabardini: that is just your ego
Sky Szimmer: it is a good point Isen
Isen Enzo: relax about the laxity?
Delani Gabardini: I don’t think u have too much lax, IMAO
Isen Enzo: like “recreate”…. I like that idea…
Delani Gabardini: brb
Isen Enzo: re-create…
Isen Enzo: nice idea..
Isen Enzo: play as recreation…
Isen Enzo: play as re-creation…
Isen Enzo: PaBing?
Sky Szimmer: that is an interesting thought about play as recreation
Faenik: ah :)
Adams Rubble: and re-creation
Isen Enzo: mostly we think, I think, of play as a recreational activity..
Sky Szimmer: sorry folks, but I got to run. nice meeting you all.
After this re-creative session, Sky had to leave, and so had Adams.
Adams Rubble: Sorry, I must slip away. bye everyone
Moon Fargis: ok bye sky
Moon Fargis: uhm bye adams
Isen Enzo: my deep thoughts run the avs away…
Sky Szimmer: BTW who is the guardian for this session?
Isen Enzo: maybe not so deep…
Moon Fargis: no they just re-create theirself
Sky Szimmer: it was deep Isen. I appreciated it. kid needs attention
Sky was refering to her infant in RL who she needed to look after.
Moon Fargis: hm well i guess fael
Isen Enzo: over and over again..
Isen Enzo: ok
Isen Enzo: np
