2008.12.22 13:00 - Isn't Every Place a Holy Place?

The Guardian for this meeting was Stim, but he couldn't make it.  Fael dug up the chat log from the autologger, and Pema posted it and provided a title.

Sidona Donogal: Hi Scathach
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello Sidona
Sidona Donogal: I thought there was a meeting at this time, right?
Scathach Rhiadra: yes, have you been here before?
Sidona Donogal: Only once. I only discovered the place yesterday.
Scathach Rhiadra: ah, so you know a little about what we are about:)
Sidona Donogal: yes. I think it is a very good idea.
Scathach Rhiadra: :)
Scathach Rhiadra: there are usually more people here, but I suppose it is the time of the year:)
Sidona Donogal: I see.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: Hello
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello Corvi:)
Sidona Donogal: Do you have anything you would like to talk about?
Sidona Donogal: Hi Corvi
Scathach Rhiadra: no, do you?
Sidona Donogal: I wonder if there is any research done about the things people write down.
Sidona Donogal: In the 9 Sec
Scathach Rhiadra: well I think they write down things for their own benefit
Scathach Rhiadra: and also, not everyone can write things down:)
Sidona Donogal: I guess it would be great to gather all these things.
Gaya Ethaniel: _/!\_
Sidona Donogal: Hi Gaya
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello Gaya:)
Scathach Rhiadra: I find it quite difficult to write anything down, I have to admit
Sidona Donogal: I like writing, writing ideas down, dreams, intuitive messages. It is a nice way to surprise myself.:)
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^
Sidona Donogal: are there any activities in the group from time to time?
Corvuscorva Nightfire: Thanks, Gaya.
Gaya Ethaniel: Some of us met in RL last Oct Sidona
Sidona Donogal: Great.
Gaya Ethaniel: I know you know Corvi ^.-
Corvuscorva Nightfire: yes inded you do.
Gaya Ethaniel: Sometimes this kind of 'inactive' activity [companionable silence] happens too Sidona ^^
Scathach Rhiadra: :)
Sidona Donogal: really?
Gaya Ethaniel: mmhmm, quite nice no?
Corvuscorva Nightfire grins.
Sidona Donogal: well, when in Rome......
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^
Gaya Ethaniel: Nothing stops you breaking the silence Sidona :P
Sidona Donogal: What does the P stand for?
Gaya Ethaniel: :P - blowing rasberry
Corvuscorva Nightfire: funny, I can't think of a single thing to talk about today.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: And I feel like I can always think of something...
Gaya Ethaniel: This titler... what made you to get it Corvi?
Corvuscorva Nightfire: someone gave it to me at a party.
Gaya Ethaniel: ah
Gaya Ethaniel: Is it no copy?
Scathach Rhiadra: can you remove it if you really wanted to?
Corvuscorva Nightfire: of course.
Scathach Rhiadra: :)
Corvuscorva Nightfire: but I can't change the title.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: only other people can.
Gaya Ethaniel: That's not fair...
Corvuscorva Nightfire: kind of fun, though.
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^ it is
Gaya Ethaniel: What was the worse title given so far?
Corvuscorva Nightfire: this is only the second one....
Corvuscorva Nightfire: heheh
Gaya Ethaniel: ah ^^
Sidona Donogal: Has anyone of you tried PoB?
Corvuscorva Nightfire: what's that?
Gaya Ethaniel hears the bell
Scathach Rhiadra: the 9 seconds, paB?
Sidona Donogal: yes
Corvuscorva Nightfire: oh, of course.
Gaya Ethaniel nods
Scathach Rhiadra: have you tried it yet, Sidona?
Sidona Donogal: Not yet, but similar things. I like to take a different perspective.
Scathach Rhiadra: how so, if I may ask?
Sidona Donogal: Like e.g. in the position of an observer self.
Sidona Donogal: Or in asking myself wether I am dreaming, throughout the day.
Sidona Donogal: Or from taking the perspective of the inner self, other times of the higher self.
Scathach Rhiadra: do you do that through meditation?
Sidona Donogal: Only sometimes, throughout the day on many occations basicly and before going to sleep.
Gaya Ethaniel: During the day, you do when you remember to do it or you set a reminder of some sort?
Gaya Ethaniel: Hey Adele ^^
Sidona Donogal: Hey Adelene, nice to see you
Corvuscorva Nightfire: grins.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: Hi, Ade.
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello adeline
Adelene Dawner: ^.^
Sidona Donogal: For the dreaming I pick dreamsigns. Like everytime I turn on a light or see a red car or so.
Sidona Donogal: usually 5 always different signes a day
Sidona Donogal: I guess it is similar to the 9 seconds
Sidona Donogal: not to get caught up in acting so much during the day.
Gaya Ethaniel nods
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^
Adelene Dawner: What a cute toy, Corvi. ^.^
Corvuscorva Nightfire: Thanks, Adelene.

will Delvalle: can't say fairer than that
will Delvalle: you talk about reality?
Scathach Rhiadra: you can also look at he wiki http://playasbeing.wik.is/ for more information
Scathach Rhiadra: yes, when we talk, it is about reality:)
will Delvalle: is that existentialist realism?
Sidona Donogal: What were you looking for?
will Delvalle: or pure fundamentalist realsim?
Scathach Rhiadra: just exploring the nature of reality, no particular philosophy
Adelene Dawner giggles at Will, and replies cryptically, "Yes."
will Delvalle: sorry- i was taking you literally
will Delvalle: nice place
will Delvalle: have you been on here long?
Adelene Dawner: We do tend ot assume that there's one reality, for what that's worth, but as Scathach said - no particular philosophy. All are welcome here.
Adelene Dawner: The group's been around since April, but I don't think any of us have been members that long.
will Delvalle: i'm pleased you say one reality

Scathach Rhiadra: hmmm, well in SL, we don't usually mix RL & SL:)
will Delvalle: sorry
Scathach Rhiadra: np:))
will Delvalle: just wondered what you reality was
Allan Whiteberry: That is a question that I almost always ask people I speak with
Scathach Rhiadra: ah
will Delvalle: some people bite your head off i know for that question Al
Allan Whiteberry: figuratively
Adelene Dawner: I rarely ask, but don't mind sharing... and it does sem to come up. Most don't mind being asked, that I've seen.
Scathach Rhiadra: haha, well, I don't bite:)
Allan Whiteberry: Mine is in my profile
Allan Whiteberry: I don't hide it
will Delvalle: Adelene -you have a unique view of SL
Adelene Dawner shrugs. "I seem to have a unique view of most things."
will Delvalle: do you want to be flying lion?
Adelene Dawner: In what sense?
Allan Whiteberry: obviously
Adelene Dawner grins at Allan.
will Delvalle: grins/ sizes up for lunch
will Delvalle: i'd run mate
Adelene Dawner chuckles.
Scathach Rhiadra: well, unfortunately i have to leave now, its been nice meeting you all, may see you again sometime
Sidona Donogal: see you!
will Delvalle: night
Allan Whiteberry: bye
Scathach Rhiadra: Namasté
Adelene Dawner: My perspective, as far as avatars, is that the whole world here is highly metaphorical anyway, so why not use a more meaningful metaphor? ^.^
Adelene Dawner: cya, Sca.
will Delvalle: sorry sidona i did not see you behind the fountain
Sidona Donogal: Nothing wrong.
will Delvalle: and then there were 4
will Delvalle: including one female pussycat
Sidona Donogal: I found it difficult to get a body and get dressed and everything, really
Sidona Donogal: I am only in SL for four days now.
Adelene Dawner: You'll get used to it, Sid. I can answer questions if you run into trouble.
Allan Whiteberry: I saw that. I always read profiles
Sidona Donogal: Thank you Adelene!
Adelene Dawner: ^.^
Sidona Donogal: How about you Allan?
Allan Whiteberry: If you are new Didona, how did you find this place?
Allan Whiteberry: Was it randome, like me?
will Delvalle: i've loged on about a month ago- this is about my 10th time on
Allan Whiteberry: What about me?
Allan Whiteberry: I'm not sure of the question
Sidona Donogal: Are you here for long?
Allan Whiteberry: About a year
Sidona Donogal: I was looking for some spiritual meeting place.
Sidona Donogal: Then I liked the whole kira-idea.
will Delvalle: so Adelene- what brings you here?
Allan Whiteberry: May I ask where you are from, Sidona. I am guessing it is not an English speaking country, although your English is excellent.
Sidona Donogal: I do my best.
will Delvalle: not sure there Al
Adelene Dawner: I've been an active guardian for months, Will... *chuckle* believe it or not, it's mostly for the socialization at this point. ^.
Adelene Dawner: ^.^
Sidona Donogal: The most important is to be understood, not the gramma
Allan Whiteberry: of course
will Delvalle: never thought i would be chatting to a winged lion...
Adelene Dawner chuckles.
Allan Whiteberry: I take it then, you would rather not say. NP.
Sidona Donogal: It is also new for me to "chat". I am all puzzled about abbreviations and all that. But I will get used to it.
Sidona Donogal: It is fun to get into it though.
Allan Whiteberry: I only know a few of the abbreviations
will Delvalle: i think these 2 can do without us winged lion
Adelene Dawner shrugs.
Sidona Donogal: Adelene. What does a guardian do?
Allan Whiteberry: It seems to be getting dark. What time is it here?
Adelene Dawner: It's the title given to official members of the group. Every meeting also has a guardian-on-call, who takes the log of the meeting. Not every guardian has a guardian-on-call assignment, though. (Mine is Friday at 7pm)
will Delvalle: i leave you guys to it
Adelene Dawner: Allan - 2:30, but SL's 'day cycle' is every 6 hours, so four SL days per RL day.
Adelene Dawner: cya, Will.
Sidona Donogal: by will
will Delvalle: night all
Allan Whiteberry: Thanks, I never knew that.
Allan Whiteberry: night will
Sidona Donogal: Me not too
Allan Whiteberry: So SL time conicides with Pacific Standard Time?
Adelene Dawner: yup
Sidona Donogal: So the meetings here are "really "every day at the same time?
Allan Whiteberry: Interesting, but the 6 hour days confuses things
Adelene Dawner: yup, every 6 hours around the clock.
Adelene Dawner: Allan - most people don't seem to worry about it, and if the darnkness bothers you, you can change it.
Sidona Donogal: But the 9 seconds are in real-time 15-minutes, right?
Adelene Dawner: World > Environment Settings (last entry on the list) >Midday will set your view to noontie lighting.
Adelene Dawner: And yes, 15 RL minutes.
Allan Whiteberry: Yes, I know how to set the time to middday.
Adelene Dawner: ok
Sidona Donogal: How did you do that? turning on the light?
Adelene Dawner: hm?
Allan Whiteberry: World>Environmental settings
Sidona Donogal: Thank you
Adelene Dawner: [14:34] Adelene Dawner: World > Environment Settings (last entry on the list) >Midday will set your view to noontime lighting.
Allan Whiteberry: On your toolbar
Adelene Dawner: also, at the bottom, clicking 'local chat' in the 'communicate' menu will let you see the chat history - very useful.
Sidona Donogal: I got to go now. Hope to see you soon. Buy
Adelene Dawner: cya
Adelene Dawner chuckles. "No worries, I ate before I came." *toothy grin*
Adelene Dawner: most likely not... see you around. ^.^
Adelene Dawner: good :)
