2009.03.01 13:00 - Nearly completing the outer circle...

The Guardian for this meeting was Maxine Walden . The comments are by her .

As I came to the Pavilion I saw several folks there already.  Trying to hurry to a seat and claim the recording I stopped the recording by mistake rather than claiming it.  Just the beginning of an interesting discussion.  By the end of the session we had 18 or so participants, a few coming and going during the session.  This may have been one of the best attended guardian sessions, perhaps any PaB session we have held.

Fael Illyar blinks 'Why restart the recording?'
Fael Illyar: oh, wild hair Wol :)
Maxine Walden: sorry, I was trying to claim it! did the wrong thing!
Arisia Vita: and how did I get the Listener?
Maxine Walden: Wol, what do I do to claim the log, as I am the guardian?
Wol Euler: they are distributed automagically
Wol Euler: maxine, select "claim" from the dialog wehn you click on the base.
Fael Illyar: Well, click on it and select claim, not the stop button.
Fael Illyar: Hi Pila :)
Arisia Vita: Welcome Pila
Susi Alcott: hi Pila
Maxine Walden: ah, thanks.
Pila Mulligan: greetings
Adelene Dawner: It's tagged with your name to make it easier for the script, Ari - I got this message, for example: [13:00] Adelene Dawner's PaB Listener: No longer recording. Have a nice day. :)
Maxine Walden: hi, Pila
Wol Euler: stopping the recording if nobody has yet claimed it will also make it yours.
Wol Euler: hello steve, pila
stevenaia Michinaga: hello
Fael Illyar: well, the stopper always gets the link. If someone has claimed it before that, they also get it.
Fael Illyar: Hi Steve :)
Adelene Dawner: hi, Steve - oh, and Pila snuck in, too. Hi. ^.^
Maxine Walden: ah, so much I don't know about this. Thanks for updating me
stevenaia Michinaga: no sneaking
Pila Mulligan: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: hello Maxine, so nice to see you
Maxine Walden: hi, Steve, so good to see you as well
Arisia Vita: Welcome Pema
Fael Illyar: Hi Pema :)
Wol Euler: and pema, a rare treat.
Adelene Dawner: Hi Max, Hi Pema ^.^ Sca.... good grief, big group today.
Maxine Walden: ah, yes, Pema hi
Pema Pera: Hi everybody!
Wol Euler: hello scath
Maxine Walden: hi, Scath
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello all:)
Fael Illyar: Hi Tarmel :)
Pema Pera: not that rare, I hope, Wol; this is my 8th session in three days :-)
Wol Euler: :)
Wol Euler: rare only in the enormous gap your absences have left in my memory and imagination :)
Adelene Dawner .... does not think she's up for a crowd, today. Catch y'all later.
Arisia Vita: welcome Tarmel
Susi Alcott: hi Tarmel
Wol Euler: hello tarmel, and bye ade. take care
Maxine Walden: see you, Ade
stevenaia Michinaga: Bye Ade
Scathach Rhiadra: Hey Tarmel:)
Maxine Walden: hi Tarmel
Pema Pera: will we fill up the circle?
Maxine Walden: might do
Tarmel Udimo: hi all!
Wol Euler: only two short ...
Fael Illyar: Hi Scath :)
Scathach Rhiadra: Hi Fael:)
Susi Alcott: hi Scath
Maxine Walden: restful silence it seems...
Pila Mulligan: hi everyone -- was busy
Pema Pera: unlike the rest of us . . :)
Tarmel Udimo: Glad Pema and Stim will resume talks:-)
Susi Alcott: hi Pema
Maxine Walden: yes, that is nice, Tarmel
Pema Pera: Hi Susi!
Susi Alcott: (I'm connected and disconnected 'all the time')
Pema Pera: We won't make it into a strict dialogue though, more like a theme session
stevenaia Michinaga: can you give us any insight on how the Kira birthday celebration turned out Pema?
Pema Pera: oh, it was fun!
Pema Pera: Talks, tours, dancing even at the end
Wol Euler grins and nods. Though I missed the dancing.
Maxine Walden: what kind of turnout or is that hard to say?
Pema Pera: oh, I think in total some 80 or so avatars
Maxine Walden: wonderful
Pema Pera: but hard to say; people came and went

Feeling that we were not focussed as a group I decided to ask about topics for discussion; as the reader will note this met with some mixed reviews and several strands of conversation continued.

Maxine Walden: any PaB topics we would like to discuss?
Wol Euler: hello adams
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello Adams:)
Pema Pera: Hi Adams!
Maxine Walden: hi, Adams, good to see you
Pila Mulligan: hi Adams
stevenaia Michinaga: great turn out Pema
Pema Pera: almost a full circle . . . .
Adams Rubble: Hello everyone (and I mean almost everyone )
Susi Alcott: hi Adams
Fael Illyar: If I may, I'd like to ask for people to not specifically request PaB topics. Instead ask if there's something anyone wants to talk about. I've got a feeling that asking for PaB topics might get some people with an actual topic to think it's not worthy.
Susi Alcott: hi steve
Fael Illyar: Hi Adams :)
Maxine Walden: OK, Fael, thanks for your comment
stevenaia Michinaga: hello Susi
Pema Pera: Hi Moon!
Fael Illyar: Hi Moon :)
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello Moon:)
Adams Rubble: Hello Moon :)
Tarmel Udimo: ahhhhh moon
Wol Euler: moon!
Wol Euler: a full circle
Susi Alcott: hi Moon
Pema Pera: full Moon :)
Moon Fargis: yaay
Wol Euler: we all get bonus karma points for this :)
Susi Alcott: _/!\_
Pila Mulligan: :)
Fael Illyar: Hi Zen :)
Moon Fargis: greetings zen ^^
Tarmel Udimo: don't get me started I may have to start baying
Wol Euler: hello zen
Adams Rubble: Hello Zen
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello Zen
Pema Pera: Hi Zen!
Susi Alcott: hi Zen
Maxine Walden: hi, Moon and Zen
Zen Arado: Hi folks
Tarmel Udimo: I was thinking this morning which time slot was the one that most of us seem to make it to, and here we are:-)
Moon Fargis: ^^

Moon has some ideas about what to focus on:

Moon Fargis whispers to tarmel "press my nose press my nose!"
Tarmel Udimo: would this be a good time to hold Stim/Pema sessions?
Wol Euler: I think so.
Wol Euler: if it works for you both...
Pema Pera: well, it is one of the four designated weekly guardian sessions, and we don't want to dominate that much . . .
stevenaia Michinaga: 
Wol Euler: heheh
Pema Pera: who is that nosey?

The issue of a focussed conversation during this timeslot with themes by Stem and Pema seemed worth discussing a bit further. The group signals its approval for such a focus.

Maxine Walden: but the guardians might feel nourished by Stem and Pema sessions during these times
Moon Fargis: *giggles*
Pema Pera: well, it is up to you, really
Tarmel Udimo: agree in fact I think its been the missing ingredient
Scathach Rhiadra: mmm, maybe a lot of the guardians would appreciate a session with a 'theme'...
Adams Rubble: seems to me to be a good use of us all being ogether
Pema Pera: well, let's hold a vote then
Adams Rubble: ay
Wol Euler raises her hand
Tarmel Udimo: me too yes
Pila Mulligan: what is the vote question?
Pema Pera: we can all vote pro, con, or neutral :)
Scathach Rhiadra: me yes
Maxine Walden: yes, for Stim and Pema meeting during this time
Pila Mulligan: Sunday at 1?
Fael Illyar neutral.
Susi Alcott: _/!\_
Pila Mulligan: sure -- yes
stevenaia Michinaga: yes
Moon Fargis: hmhm ok
Tarmel Udimo: hey can Stim?
Maxine Walden: yes
Pema Pera: interesting question :)
Pema Pera: we will have to check -- at least one time out of four he is conducting a chan (zen) weekend
stevenaia Michinaga: like nominating the member who does not attend...grins

Discussion about having more than one avatar during a meeting picks up.

Wol Euler: :)
Moon Fargis: meep ?
Pema Pera: yup
Tarmel Udimo: or you may have to clone yourself
Tarmel Udimo: we were talking about having more than one AV a few sessions ago and what that was like:-)
Zen Arado: I was wondering about that
Pema Pera: having an alt here at the same time you mean?
Arisia Vita: does two keyboards really save that much?
Zen Arado: why do you need one ?
Arisia Vita: one brain?
Zen Arado: need 2 computers ?
Adams Rubble: Two computers works best
Pema Pera: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Help...nd_Life_client
Wol Euler: there are practical reasons, Zen. Some businesspeople use an alt instead of a partner (because you need 2 people to found a group)
Zen Arado: same broadband connection would be slow?
Arisia Vita: still one brain though?
Wol Euler: (sorry, misread. Ignore that)
Arisia Vita: don't see how it will save...
Tarmel Udimo: it was the implications of it that was interesting rather than the technical details:-)
Zen Arado: other reasons?
Adams Rubble: Passing things between inventories
Tarmel Udimo: it allows an individual to express more than oneside
Zen Arado: you could have sex with youself ?:)
Wol Euler: hello myna
Adams Rubble: hello Mayna :)
Moon Fargis: hmm
Pema Pera: Mi Myna!
Moon Fargis: could we ?
Zen Arado: sorry
Moon Fargis: ?:)
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello Myna
Maxine Walden: hi, Myna
Susi Alcott: hi Myna
Fael Illyar: Hi Myna :)
Zen Arado: hi Myna
Tarmel Udimo: hi myna
Myna Maven: Hi all.
Wol Euler smiles at Fael.
Moon Fargis: greetings myna
Fael Illyar smiles back to Wol.
Zen Arado: tyr being opposite gender ?
Wol Euler: to get back to Zen's question: alts are different, an alt develops a personality of its own
Zen Arado: see what they have to put up with?
Wol Euler: it does things that sometimes surprise you.
Pema Pera: Hi Stargate!
Moon Fargis: ahh not just alts do that
Zen Arado: would increase understanding?
Wol Euler: hello star
Adams Rubble: Hello Stargate
Fael Illyar: Hi Star :)
Moon Fargis: changing the avatar completley also does this in a away
Maxine Walden: Jeckle and Hyde perhaps?
Wol Euler: definitely :)
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello Stargate
Myna Maven: You're talking about alt SL personnas?
Zen Arado: Hi Star
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Moon Fargis: hi star
Tarmel Udimo: hi star
Maxine Walden: hi Star
Wol Euler looks at the wiki. Maxine, do you happen to have the name of that session at hand?
Myna Maven: Hi Star.
Zen Arado: if you can change the alt you have doesnt seem to be much point?
Maxine Walden: which session, Wol? the one with the discussion of the several alt?
stevenaia Michinaga: hello Stargate
Zen Arado: except for reason Wo gave
Maxine Walden: alts?
Wol Euler: yes, that one
Scathach Rhiadra: is that yesterday's 01:00 session?
Maxine Walden: no, I don't, does anyone else have that log? Ah, Sat 1am SL log, thanks Scath
Zen Arado: except for identity tag
Zen Arado: gives you away
Wol Euler: ah, right, the griefing incident session.
Scathach Rhiadra: :)
Tarmel Udimo: the interest is also does your alt affect your RL life? has one noticed changes in oneself because of one's alt?
Wol Euler: was that only yesterday?
Zen Arado: oh yes
Zen Arado: big changes
Susi Alcott: hi star :)
Scathach Rhiadra: yes seems like ages ago:)
Maxine Walden: interesting question, Tarmel
Adams Rubble: yes
Wol Euler: welcome back, medium.
Stargate Tone: strokes Moon's ears :)****
Mediumflow Difference: Thank you, Wol.
Moon Fargis purrrrrrsssssssss
Wol Euler: http://playasbeing.wik.is/index.php?..._and_twisty%22
Tarmel Udimo: has anyone noticed any effects apart form lack of sleep?
Adams Rubble: :)
Myna Maven: I've experienced no changes in RL connected with the SL avatar.
Zen Arado: learning about the lives of people in other countries
Wol Euler: (I met Mediumflow earlier, I've given him the notecard and an intro)

A couple of more Kira attendees arrive, new to these PaB sessions.

Pema Pera: Hi Arabella!
Fael Illyar: Hello arabella :)
Maxine Walden: hi, Ara, nice of you to drop in
Myna Maven: Hi Arabella.
Adams Rubble: Hello arabella :)
Pema Pera: Let me introduce Arabella, this is her first time here
Zen Arado: increased tolerance and understanding
arabella Ella: hiya Pema
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello Arabella
Wol Euler: hello arabella
Pema Pera: But she often comes to Kira sessions
Zen Arado: hi Arabella
Moon Fargis: ohh this round would mostly need a ..onigoko ritual.. hmhm
Tarmel Udimo: hi arabella
Pila Mulligan: hi Arabella
Pema Pera: Hi Mickorod!
arabella Ella: Hiya Scath everyone else
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello Mickorod
Maxine Walden: yes, Ara, welcome and Mick
Pema Pera: Mick, like Arabella, is a Kira regular
Adams Rubble: Hello Mickorod
Fael Illyar: Hello Mickorod :)
Zen Arado: a philosopher !
arabella Ella: hey Maxine
Susi Alcott: hi Micko
Pema Pera: do you think we can fill the second circle now as well :?
Maxine Walden: might do so, Pema
Wol Euler: we'd already fill the innner one
Stargate Tone: hi Mickorod
Mickorod Renard: hi
Zen Arado: Hi Mick
Maxine Walden: Pema, while it is on mind, do you feel comfortable checking with Stim to see if he can make this time occasionally for those theme sessions?
Pema Pera: Just to let you know, Arabella and Mick, we record our sessions on our wiki, http://playasbeing.wik.is/ , hope that's okay with you both
Pema Pera: sure, I will, Maxine
arabella Ella: yes no worries
Mickorod Renard: fine Pema
Pema Pera: seems we voted in favor
Maxine Walden: great!
Pema Pera: let's see whether he has time then
Maxine Walden: Yes, that would nice to see what Stim's availability is. This does seem to be a popluar time for many of us
Pema Pera: but we can start with a theme now, if we like
Susi Alcott: ty Moon
Zen Arado: ty
Pema Pera: for example, what does "play as Being" actually mean
Mickorod Renard: ty moon
Moon Fargis: (plese everyone equit this)
Maxine Walden: thanks, Moon
Stargate Tone: ty Teddy :)****
Moon Fargis: (equip)
Pema Pera: Does anyone like to summarize it for Arabella and Mick, for example?
arabella Ella: that would be great
Tarmel Udimo: pema you took the words right out of my mouth:-)
Mickorod Renard: please
Pema Pera: hahaha
Tarmel Udimo: :P >pema
Pema Pera: well, the basic idea is to try to figure out what it would be like to just be
Pema Pera: without identifying with what you have
Tarmel Udimo: deeper, closer almost there....
Pema Pera: but that may be hard to work with when put that way
Tarmel Udimo: well a couple more lifetimes but almost...
Pema Pera: to really *see* what Being is may take some time . . . but there is no reason to "play as if" right now!
Zen Arado: but you cant do that by talking ?
Pema Pera: no, you do that by practicing
Moon Fargis: hmhm yes
Pema Pera: and there are two aspects of practice
Pema Pera: one is duration and the other is frequency
Zen Arado: so why do we talk jsut wondering ?
Pema Pera: so we all do it in RL (and SL too) and then talk about it here
Zen Arado: ok
Pema Pera: ideally all of us do it many times a day
Pema Pera: for longer or shorter periods
Pema Pera: half an hour or a few seconds, but many times
Mediumflow Difference: just being - wouldn't that mean something like: follow what is there & then get your own reactions and actions out of that?
Pema Pera: that may be a good start Medium
Pema Pera: the point is to explore
Pema Pera: and then to compare notes here about what you find
Zen Arado: but we need both being and doing modes ?
Zen Arado: alternately
Susi Alcott: hi Electra
Pema Pera: well, doing we are already doing a lot . . .
Pema Pera: being is what we are less familiar with
Pema Pera: Hi Electra!
Zen Arado: yes
Moon Fargis: greetings electra
Fael Illyar: Hi Electra :)
Mickorod Renard: so, does that mean we start by doing nothing?
Adams Rubble: Hello Electrra
Zen Arado: Hi Electra
Mediumflow Difference: hi electra!
Pema Pera: Hi Electra and Medium; We get together a few times a day to chat about the nature of reality, and everything else, and we have a wiki http://playasbeing.wik.is/ -- We record our conversations there. Do you mind being included in our blogs?
Zen Arado: just being is a good way to get out of depression
Mediumflow Difference: No!
stevenaia Michinaga: http://playasbeing.wik.is/Informatio..._in_a_Nutshell
Pema Pera: thanks, Steve!
Mickorod Renard: thankyou

After some introduction to the PaB, another aspect is mentioned by Moon, who soon bursts into song and then gets us all dancing.

Moon Fargis: well we also should think that play as being always includes PLAY
Mediumflow Difference: just being seems for me a good way of not being chased by strange and unfruitful goals.
Moon Fargis: and play also means joy for me
Zen Arado: what is play ?:)
Pema Pera: doing nothing can mean many things, Mick -- doing by not-doing, doing without effort, wu-wei in Chinese
Moon Fargis: ahh what is play perfect answer shall i show you ?
Pema Pera: yes, play is essential in Play as Being
Zen Arado: sure
Moon Fargis: ok i better show
Moon Fargis: s i gave you all this circle
Moon Fargis: ccs circle
stevenaia Michinaga: can someone change the location of the meeting location on the "Nutshell" wiki page?
Wol Euler: yes, I'll do that.
stevenaia Michinaga: thx
Moon Fargis: so please attach that circle now and then stand up
Mickorod Renard: attach to what?
Moon Fargis: just wear
Pema Pera: you see, Mick and Arabella, topics change here rather frequently . . . :)
Mickorod Renard: ok
Pila Mulligan: I need to watch, Moon -- due to weak system resourcesand SL connection
Moon Fargis: ok^^
Pila Mulligan: :)
Moon Fargis: ok fael to my back then :)
Moon Fargis: scat , tarmel ?
Pema Pera: what should I attach? Are you still handing something out, Moon?
Moon Fargis: this one
Mickorod Renard: cool..whats happening?
Tarmel Udimo: sorry RL
Moon Fargis: one sec
Moon Fargis: ok then

Moon then goes to the middle of the fountain and bursts into a beautiful song which we can all hear clearly.  Much applause follows 

Moon Fargis: ^^
Maxine Walden: applause!!!
Pema Pera: clap clap clap
Pila Mulligan: nice Moon
Zen Arado: nice
Moon Fargis: did everyone heard the song ?
Scathach Rhiadra: :)
Mickorod Renard: amazing
arabella Ella: wow cool

Wol Euler: oh, let me give you one then,

Moon Fargis: ok i also hand out
Mickorod Renard: I love it
Pila Mulligan: pictures maybe Maxine

I do try at this point to take a snapshot of the group in dance, and will try to attach it to this log.

Wol Euler: just wear it
Myna Maven: It's on my left eyeball, it says. :)
Wol Euler: it'S invisible and has no other side affects than this mad dance :)
Mediumflow Difference: :)
Myna Maven: What's the difference between onigokko and onigooko shippo?
Wol Euler: everyone goes crazy as soon as somebody says teh magic word
Wol Euler: onigokko
Moon Fargis: its the same just othern ame
Zen Arado: ha ha
Mickorod Renard: fantastic
Wol Euler: if you're getting dizzy, hold the alt key and click on the ground
Wol Euler: that will detach the camera from your running body
Moon Fargis: stop

Moon Fargis: whoohoow

Wol Euler: Steve is the oldest here now, I am second afte rhim
Mickorod Renard: ok ty
Wol Euler: stop
stevenaia Michinaga: :), only because of addition, certainly not my mental age
Scathach Rhiadra: i think everyone has to remove the tails to stop it

Wol Euler: maybe if we all take ours off...
Mickorod Renard: ok,,mines off
Tarmel Udimo: sorry folks, RL again, might as well log of and maybe see yu later:-)

Wol Euler: there.
arabella Ella: oh ty that's a relief
Wol Euler: bye tarmel, take care
arabella Ella smiles
Wol Euler: I've been in the group about a half year.
Mediumflow Difference: and guests and participants are changing a lot?
Wol Euler: it started on April 1, 2008 - am I right?
Wol Euler: or was it already 2007?
stevenaia Michinaga: I was here in May-June, yes, Wol
stevenaia Michinaga: 2008, not quite a year yet
Wol Euler: mmhmm
stevenaia Michinaga: hello Riddle
Wol Euler: the group is growing slowly but steadily, few drop out.
Pila Mulligan: hi Riddle
Wol Euler: hello riddle
Mediumflow Difference: great!
Mickorod Renard: wow,,ok thanks
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello Riddle
Wol Euler: and there are many people who come by regularly but never actually become members :)
Mickorod Renard: what time do you start?
Riddle Sideways: Hi everybody, sorry I am late
Mediumflow Difference: and you, wol, have the role of something like the caretaker of it - in the best sense?
Mickorod Renard: hi riddle
Wol Euler: four times a day, 1am 7am 1pm 7pm
Mickorod Renard: each day?
Wol Euler: Medium, not at all. I am just the most loudmouthed person present :)
stevenaia Michinaga: every meeting has a "Guardian" present
Scathach Rhiadra: :)
Wol Euler: I have done some scripting here on the recording system. Storm is the builder who made this pagoda
Mediumflow Difference: who was the guardian today?
stevenaia Michinaga: to publish the log on the wiki
Wol Euler: every day, mik.
stevenaia Michinaga: wiki
Mickorod Renard: wow
Wol Euler: right now it was Max

Riddle Sideways: what did I miss :)
Wol Euler: lots of onigokko, and some singing :)
Pila Mulligan: a crowd, a song, a dance ...
Mickorod Renard: it seems good fun and as much as anything else its nice to feel part of a comunity
Mickorod Renard: community
Wol Euler: a new record, I believe: 18 people at a session
arabella Ella: today you mean?
Wol Euler: this session, yes.
Riddle Sideways: might need bleacher seats soon
Wol Euler grins
arabella Ella: cool
Wol Euler: actually we might need a better recorder soon. I don't know how well it will deal with that number of avs. that's never happened before.
stevenaia Michinaga: I've sat on the roofs when needed
Riddle Sideways: recorder looks like it is acting ok now
Riddle Sideways: after reading storms scribing, I look up each time here
Wol Euler: I won't be certain until the session ends, whether it actually grabbed everyone.
stevenaia Michinaga: the top roof is to far to record, however... but I only checked once
Mickorod Renard: ok folks,,i have to go now,,but maybe I will come at the proper time next
Riddle Sideways: please do
Scathach Rhiadra: bye Mickorod
Wol Euler: bye mick, take care.
Pila Mulligan: bye Mick
