2008.12.29 07:00 - We Going to Get Cleaned

 This was a short session, because the sim of our Play as Being gatherings was going for a restart in the middle of the meeting, prompting the participants to seek shelter elsewhere.  Gaya put up the log, I, Pema, cleaned it and provided a title.

Becka Finesmith: hello Gaya :)
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^ hello
Becka Finesmith: So what have you been up to fr Christmas?
Gaya Ethaniel: fr?
Becka Finesmith: For - Sorry
Gaya Ethaniel: ah... ^^ nice and quiet one at home
Gaya Ethaniel: Yours?
Gaya Ethaniel: Hey Adams ^^
Becka Finesmith: it's been a mix between visiting family and friends and being at home for them to visit me :)
Becka Finesmith: Hi Adams
Adams Rubble: Hello Gaya and Becka :)
Gaya Ethaniel smiles
Adams Rubble: Hope I am not interrupting
Gaya Ethaniel: We just exchanged greetings ^^
Adams Rubble: ah :)
Gaya Ethaniel: How are you Adams?
Adams Rubble: On the whole I am very good...getting back into the swing od things
Adams Rubble: of things
Becka Finesmith: Already ? ;P
Adams Rubble: odd things too
Gaya Ethaniel nods. Same here slowly yet finally
Gaya Ethaniel giggles
Gaya Ethaniel: odd things?
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: I am learning new things about myself
Adams Rubble: I just got done bloggingone that still amy be i n prgress
Becka Finesmith: Can you tell us about it here?
Adams Rubble: Pema is having me look beyond appearances at the different levels
Gaya Ethaniel nods... sounds like an idea
Adams Rubble: I have been a bit slow in learning to do it
Adams Rubble: yes the example I best understood was about love
Adams Rubble: on a surface level it is just beautiful
Adams Rubble: on a deeper level there is jealousy, distrust, etc.
Adams Rubble: on a still deeper level is something more neutral
Adams Rubble: It also is more permanent
Adams Rubble: It is what keeps relationships together
Becka Finesmith: it takes a while I guess
Adams Rubble: The trick is extending this to other appearances
Gaya Ethaniel: Sounds like you are getting the hang of it ^^
Adams Rubble: Hello Doug :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Hey doug ^^
Adams Rubble: Yes, I am making a bit of slow progress :)
doug Sosa: hi,nowto avtually arrive.
Becka Finesmith: Hi Doug
Adams Rubble looks for Doug
Gaya Ethaniel: Perhaps similar realisation I had
doug Sosa: looksoknow.
Gaya Ethaniel: That happiness and unhappines are same in their nature
Adams Rubble: Both part of the appearance
Gaya Ethaniel: What you said about 'neutral' rings a bell to me
Adams Rubble: With love it is fairly easy to see it
Adams Rubble: Harder with other things
Adams Rubble: Doug, I was talking about something Pema said to me
doug Sosa: i am reluctant to avoid feelings that have to do with survival
doug Sosa: the dao says,to see the manifesation,have desire,to see the essence,be without desire.
Gaya Ethaniel: mmhmm
Gaya Ethaniel: What are the other things Adams?
Adams Rubble: Ooooh
Adams Rubble: I am feeling a little hesitant to talk about the one yet
Gaya Ethaniel: No problem ^^
Adams Rubble: It is still playing out
Adams Rubble: The other two are more mundane
Adams Rubble: There is an air cleaner in my bedroom
Adams Rubble: and I began to look at that at different levels
Adams Rubble: Mostly the sounds of it but the fact it has a function
Adams Rubble: I began to picture the sound waves going through the air
Adams Rubble: Then the second was the golden light coming through the blinds this morning
Adams Rubble: The light was coming into my space from beyond...the sun coming up (second level)
Adams Rubble: But the earth actually is revolving an there is a third level
Adams Rubble: Nothing profound there...just getting into the exercise
doug Sosa: with things like that air cleaner i try to see,can't helpbut see,the many peoplewho touched it and its parts and materials to get it here.thousands.
Becka Finesmith: Are these things that you have never noticed before ir is it just different now?
Adams Rubble: Interesting question Becka
Adams Rubble: and yes Doug
Second Life: Your region will restart in 5 minutes and 0 seconds for maintenance.
Adams Rubble: I am going to Kira
Adams Rubble: This is a bit forced on the main issues. we are being shut down
Gaya Ethaniel: Let's do that
doug Sosa: speaking of air cleaners,looks like we going to get cleaned :)
