A new comer to our group showed up, and stayed :-) We talked about PaB and in between I kept crashing.

    Fael Illyar: Hello Pharan :)

    Tarmel Udimo: hi pharan

    Pharan Ketsugo: may I join?

    Fael Illyar: Sure :)

    Fael Illyar: (but do note that this meeting is logged, do you mind if we place your lines and name on our       website in the log?)

    Moon Fargis: We get together a few times a day to chat about the nature of reality, and everything else, and we have a wiki

    Moon Fargis: our wiki gives all the background, Snap, and feel free to IM any of us if you have questions!

    Moon Fargis: - we record our conversations there. Do you mind being included in our blogs?

    Moon Fargis: ahh there it is the pab gesture

    Pharan Ketsugo: sfine

    Pharan Ketsugo: pab?

    Tarmel Udimo: play as being

    Pharan Ketsugo: ahhh...

    Fael Illyar: our website is at http://playasbeing.wik.is/

    Moon Fargis: yes we practise a new kind of hmm self awareness exercise

    Moon Fargis: some might call it meditation

    Moon Fargis: its about a mini meditation we do every 15 mins for 9 secods

    Fael Illyar tickles Moon's belly.

    Tarmel Udimo: are you interested in meditation?

    Pharan Ketsugo: mmmm

    Pharan Ketsugo: yes

    Tarmel Udimo: we are being a bit silly tonight because it is christmas eve

    Fael Illyar: We've got meetings here 4 times a day, every day at 1,7,1,7 am and pm, Second Life Time.

    Pharan Ketsugo: does it have to do with the idea that this, SL, is really third life?

    Fael Illyar: If you want it to :)

    Tarmel Udimo: third life?

    Pharan Ketsugo: the game within the game... within the...

    Moon Fargis: no game :)

    Pharan Ketsugo: exactly

    Moon Fargis: imo no 1st life either

    Fael Illyar: that's one perspective to look at things :)

    Pharan Ketsugo: only life

    Moon Fargis: but sure, mind needs something to differ things, from others

    Pharan Ketsugo: no pun intended?

    Fael Illyar: Yes, thinking is difficult without differentiating :)

    Moon Fargis: well thinking without differentiating is already difficult

    Pharan Ketsugo: hmmm

    Pharan Ketsugo: what is the practice you do every 15 min?

    Fael Illyar: pause or drop everything for 9 seconds (no need to be sticky about that either, it's just conveniently 1% of 15 minutes)

    Fael Illyar: another way of expressing it would be to take a pause from everything.

    Pharan Ketsugo: kind of like Buddhist 6 time book, but more often?

    Moon Fargis: well it has buddhist influences

    Moon Fargis: thats for sure

    Moon Fargis: but hmm no praying or chanting

    Moon Fargis: or thinking on special things during it

    Fael Illyar: meditation like activity adapted to suit modern life.

    Fael Illyar: It's kind of like something you can't quite say you don't have time to do :)

    Pharan Ketsugo: I try to do that. Not every 15 min, but often, throughout the day

    Pharan Ketsugo: stop, be still, remember what is real. what is...

    Fael Illyar: what is that Buddhist 6 tie book?

    Pharan Ketsugo: its a Tibetan monastic practice

    Pharan Ketsugo: keep a book and six times throughout the day they check in on how they're doing relative to a portion of their vows

    Pharan Ketsugo: divide the vows (266 I think?) into groups and cycle through them

    Pharan Ketsugo: constant self reflection

    Fael Illyar: wow, many :)

    Pharan Ketsugo: well... Tibetans... little process obsession maybe...

    Moon Fargis knows why he is in zen :)

    Pharan Ketsugo: but the idea is dont go too long without stopping. and looking

    Pharan Ketsugo: and being

    Fael Illyar prefers small amount of rules.

    Fael Illyar: but yes, kind of similar idea. a pause that allows for self reflection every 15 minutes.

    Pharan Ketsugo: a person left alone between their era for too long is in bad neighborhood, no?

    Pharan Ketsugo: between their ears that is

    Fael Illyar: Yes, that's true :)

    Fael Illyar: wb Tarmel :)

    Pharan Ketsugo: BTW - I really like the wings :>

    Moon Fargis: wb^^

    Pharan Ketsugo: cool

    Fael Illyar smiles 'Thank you.'

    Tarmel Udimo: sorry folks crashed

    Pharan Ketsugo: thought maybe so

    Fael Illyar: That's just business as usual in SL :)

    Pharan Ketsugo: how many time does that happen in 1st life?

    Pharan Ketsugo: someone disappears from your world, you have no idea why, you try not to personalize it...

    Fael Illyar: 1st life has had rather longer time for all the "kinks" to be ironed out :P

    Pharan Ketsugo: but its just that their 'avatar,' their client, crashed..

    Fael Illyar: customizing the way you look can also be fun :)

    Tarmel Udimo: yes

    Tarmel Udimo: we don't see that many 'suits'

    Pharan Ketsugo: :>

    Pharan Ketsugo: takes all kinds

    Tarmel Udimo: smiles

    Fael Illyar: it's relatively rare to see two people looking similar here :)

    Pharan Ketsugo: indeed

    Tarmel Udimo: espacially winded ones

    Pharan Ketsugo: we are all Artists

    Tarmel Udimo: *winged

    Fael Illyar smiles.

    Pharan Ketsugo: Moon? I like your radiance... :->

    Moon Fargis: my?

    Pharan Ketsugo: your cool little yellow floaty dotty thingys I mean...

    Moon Fargis: ahhh

    Moon Fargis: hehe yes dont worry not radio active

    Moon Fargis: candy active!

    Tarmel Udimo: hehehe

    Pharan Ketsugo: :>

    Fael Illyar smiles.

    Pharan Ketsugo: Artists... creating our own reality, our own experiences, our own... Avatars. No?

    Fael Illyar: Yes, we're all creators.

    Fael Illyar: We create our own world.

    Tarmel Udimo: yes agreed  ;-)

    Fael Illyar: Even if it is based on our perceptions.

    Pharan Ketsugo: karma... I'm a believer.

    Tarmel Udimo: we've had a few very good pab sessions around that

    Tarmel Udimo: check out the website...
    Pharan Ketsugo: will do, offline

    Fael Illyar: the autologger link I gave you will have it

    Pharan Ketsugo: indeed. and I'm off to go buy something more comfortable to wear while sitting for long periods

    Tarmel Udimo: okay maybe catch up later 

    Fael Illyar: I'll be offline for most of today I think.

    Pharan Ketsugo: see you here again sometime.... :>>
