2009.07.30 07:00 - We Are Both Mary and Martha, Smiling

The Guardian for this meeting was Eliza Madrigal. The comments are by Eliza Madrigal.

This session is like a reverse mosaic. At first, there seem to be several different topics going, but looking closer perhaps just a few.

Yakuzza Lethecus: oh, who is now on this slot ?
Eliza Madrigal: We'll see. I'll post the log :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: ur still on the guardian timetable
Eliza Madrigal: I was frustrated trying to build stairs anyway
Eliza Madrigal: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: stairs eliza??
Eliza Madrigal: yes.... my house is on a hill, so I need steps. Everything looks too boxy to me
SophiaSharon Larnia: oh in sl :) haha
Eliza Madrigal: so i've been working to make things more elegant
Eliza Madrigal: yes! :) In RL I might paint steps, but not build them
Eliza Madrigal: hahah
SophiaSharon Larnia: HI Adams
Eliza Madrigal: Or, well, you never know!
Ninja Easterman: i need to start to build.....
Yakuzza Lethecus: lol
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Adams! :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey adams
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes was seeing you witha saw *giggles*
Yakuzza Lethecus: you got a premium account then eliza :)
Eliza Madrigal: hahha
--BELL--
Eliza Madrigal: yes you are giggly lately SophiaSharon
SophiaSharon Larnia: a bit maybe :) I just can't worry about things anymore. It doesn't change much
Adams Rubble: hello everyone :)
Ninja Easterman: high...
Eliza Madrigal smiles
SophiaSharon Larnia: brb
Eliza Madrigal: So what are we thinking about today?
Adams Rubble hopes I did not interrupt
Eliza Madrigal: Not at all. I had just gotten here and was talking about trying to build elegant steps to my house
Adams Rubble: :)
Eliza Madrigal: for the angels to get around more easily on
Eliza Madrigal: hahahha
Eliza Madrigal: (not that last part)
Adams Rubble: Angels fly :)
Eliza Madrigal isn't sleeping
Adams Rubble: Maybe you could borrow a ladder from John Climacus
SophiaSharon Larnia: sorry phone :)
Eliza Madrigal laughs at Adams, thank goodness for wikipedia
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes :) a reference to a ladder of spiritual discovery
Ninja Easterman: ah
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Sweet Sabra: hey
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Sweet
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Sweet
Adams Rubble: hello Sweet
Ninja Easterman: my friend......
Eliza Madrigal: Welcome to Play as Being Sweet, feel free to join us if you like :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: ive thought of it as a series of steps, with platforms for resting built in
Eliza Madrigal: Ah :)
Ninja Easterman: get off my head ......lol
SophiaSharon Larnia: lol
Adams Rubble: :)
Sweet Sabra: oops
Adams Rubble: that's using Ninja's head :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: the hard part is knowing these platforms are there
Eliza Madrigal: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: hahah
Eliza Madrigal: Sweet, I need to let you know that we record our discussions and place them on a wiki ( http://playasbeing.wik.is/ ). Do you mind being included in that? If not I can edit, no problem :)
Sweet Sabra: yes I know
Eliza Madrigal: Wonderful :)
Eliza Madrigal: I like the metaphor of stairs and ladders... and Chutes and Teleports!
SophiaSharon Larnia: wow teleports yes
Eliza Madrigal: Sophia, it seems like you've had a bit of a breakthrough
Adams Rubble: PaB is a bit like a teleport :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: I feel uncomfortable with that terminology :)
Eliza Madrigal: Adams, yes! I am seeing that more clearly lately
Ninja Easterman: bap?
Eliza Madrigal: with breakthrough, Sophia?
Eliza Madrigal: Being as Play, Ninja?
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes like not wanting to be noticed
SophiaSharon Larnia: kpo
Adams Rubble: kpo?
SophiaSharon Larnia: oops sorry that was from my cat
SophiaSharon Larnia: on the keyboard
Adams Rubble: Hi Cat :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: giggles
Eliza Madrigal: Oh goodness...cats
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Adams Rubble: (me sings)Memories...
SophiaSharon Larnia: hahaha
Yakuzza Lethecus: and ur keyboard survived a caterpiller running over it ? :P
SophiaSharon Larnia: they are attached to me, I am the only show going on in the house
Yakuzza Lethecus: sry bad joke
SophiaSharon Larnia: :))
--BELL--
SophiaSharon Larnia: so yes feel fulled with something and laugh at the perceived randomness of it all, but know that maybe it is not so random at all...
Eliza Madrigal: :) I've a cat also SophiaSharon. Two nights ago I wanted to throw him out of the house. In the middle of the night, cold nose on mine "Mom, Mom". He was relentless. Kept me up all night, then slept all day himself. Stinker.
SophiaSharon Larnia: haha he was bored and wanted to play
Adams Rubble thinking about Yakuzza's caterpillar and Sophia's platforms
SophiaSharon Larnia: or eat, or maybe a door was closed somewhere in the house
Eliza Madrigal: My daughter was away. He is attached to her. :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: ahh
Eliza Madrigal: On the other subject though, sometimes we feel relief and don't know why yet?
SophiaSharon Larnia: sometimes catapillar sometimes other, faster things
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: My practice has been a caterpuillar mostly lately
Adams Rubble: seems to be a cat today :)
Eliza Madrigal: How so Adams?
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Adams Rubble: Things seem to be a bit clearer for me today
Adams Rubble: I feel I am inwardly smiling
Adams Rubble: off Sophia's platform and starting up the next flight
SophiaSharon Larnia: haha
Yakuzza Lethecus: i got to go, bye everyone
Eliza Madrigal: How wonderful
Eliza Madrigal: Bye Yakuzza, good to see you
Adams Rubble: bye Yakuzza :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: bye Yakuzza :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: can you say more Adama??
SophiaSharon Larnia: Adams* even
Adams Rubble: hehe
Sweet Sabra: bye

Comfort and Lovely Insight

Adams Rubble: A week or so ago we talked about the Story fo Christ visiting the house of Mary and Martha
SophiaSharon Larnia: bye Sweet
Eliza Madrigal: Bye Sweet, nice to meet you
Adams Rubble: and I have been mostly Martha lately
Adams Rubble: and I have been a bit envious of those who are Mary knowing that i was Mary not so long ago
Adams Rubble: and pema wrote me a message this morning in which he reminded me that we are all both Mary and martha
Adams Rubble: and included an image of mary sitting there smiling
Adams Rubble: and the thought of being Martha and seeing Mary there smiling and knowing we are both Mary and Martha has made me feel smiley
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
Eliza Madrigal: That's beautiful, yes both
Adams Rubble: if we can always remember Mary smiling we will be OK
Adams Rubble: and that we are mary too
SophiaSharon Larnia: at the same time
Adams Rubble: yes
Eliza Madrigal: I first image was of martha with mary emerging and martha emerging from mary, etc. but now what I see is a smile emerging from a smile
SophiaSharon Larnia: smiles
Adams Rubble: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: i feel like Mary and no Martha, and then Martha with no trace of Mary at all
Eliza Madrigal: unfolding at the heart
SophiaSharon Larnia: (compartmentalized)
Adams Rubble: yes Sophia, that is the wy we usually feel
Eliza Madrigal: Yes, how the topic arose. It is easy to feel that way. We are working OR we are meditating, etc.
Eliza Madrigal: The pauses at 15 minutes are a way to bring out that pause in the work the rest of the time?
SophiaSharon Larnia: but seeing 'fullness' in the appearance of this illusion, well..... I can feel this blend here and it makes me giggle
Adams Rubble: hehe
Adams Rubble: yes Eliza :)
Adams Rubble giggles with Sophia
SophiaSharon Larnia wants to dance
Adams Rubble: :)
Eliza Madrigal: Being dancing
SophiaSharon Larnia: brb sorry :)
--BELL--
Adams Rubble: The dance of creation and the dance of death - aren't they Hindu concepts too? Shiva?
SophiaSharon Larnia: dance of shiva, yes, i always liked the connection to the way it connects to the dance of matter
SophiaSharon Larnia: illusion
Eliza Madrigal: I'm not sure of the details. I wonder if that is 'lila' also
Adams Rubble: There is passage in one of the apocraphal gospels where Christ dances with the Apostles
Adams Rubble: Hello fael :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Fael
SophiaSharon Larnia: HI Fael :)
Fael Illyar: Hi Ninja, Sweet,Eliza,Adams, Sophia :)
Eliza Madrigal: A lovely image Adams! I didn't know that
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes! the round dance!
SophiaSharon Larnia: oh yes I love that so, it started me on this present path of exploration Adams
Adams Rubble: :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Adams Rubble: what a wonderful place to start :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: The Round Dance of the Cross
SophiaSharon Larnia: actualy
SophiaSharon Larnia: well, i rewrote it
SophiaSharon Larnia: have you ever heard of the jesus seminary? I have been following them for a long time
Eliza Madrigal listens
Adams Rubble: not heard of that
SophiaSharon Larnia: it seeks to find the historical jesus, the human being
SophiaSharon Larnia: the original translations of biblical texts
Eliza Madrigal: Interesting
SophiaSharon Larnia: I was very fascinated on what the 'human being' really ids
SophiaSharon Larnia: is*
Eliza Madrigal: Can you say more about that Sophia?
SophiaSharon Larnia: i can try but am drifting into village territory
SophiaSharon Larnia: idiot*
SophiaSharon Larnia: ok, the human being as what jesus exemplified
SophiaSharon Larnia: as to what we are to become
SophiaSharon Larnia: what we are
SophiaSharon Larnia: erase the mythology and what the church has said about the original sayings, through the centuries
SophiaSharon Larnia: as i think jesus was an avatar
SophiaSharon Larnia: oops that is jesus seminar, Adams, sorry
Adams Rubble: thank you
Eliza Madrigal: there is something wonderful about the fact that people of all faiths have an instinctive draw to the essence of things....
SophiaSharon Larnia: the commonality, different words to say the same things
SophiaSharon Larnia: i was on a 'find the source' kick
Eliza Madrigal: yes, and also to 'know' when one is reading something that has been modified, in a way
SophiaSharon Larnia: it all has
Adams Rubble: It is a path of sorts
Adams Rubble: seeking to find the meaning that eludes us
Eliza Madrigal: yes, but as though essence of 'you' digs out essence there...regardless
SophiaSharon Larnia: essence of self digs out self?
SophiaSharon Larnia: excavating self :))
Adams Rubble laughs at the thought we are off our ladders and now dgging
SophiaSharon Larnia: giggles
Adams Rubble: (not in amean way but a loving way)
--BELL--
Eliza Madrigal laughs because she is sleepwriting obviously
SophiaSharon Larnia: excavating implies removing layers and climbing, leaving something behind
Adams Rubble: It shows the nature of our path that we can mix metaphors so freely :)
Adams Rubble: climbing for part of it
Adams Rubble: digging for other part
Adams Rubble: always seeking :)
Adams Rubble: and there it is over there...Mary is smiling :)
Eliza Madrigal: Being discovered
Adams Rubble: yes!
Adams Rubble: our own Mary :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: i have to go, talk you later :))
SophiaSharon Larnia: b4n :
Eliza Madrigal: Bye SophiaSharon :) Happy escavating
Adams Rubble: bye Sophia. thank you for the chat. Go with Giggles!
Fael Illyar: see you later SophiaSharon :)
Eliza Madrigal: excavating. Sheesh
Adams Rubble: Oh my, look at the time. I must be off 2
Adams Rubble: should one of us send the log to gen?
Fael Illyar: See you later Adams :)
Eliza Madrigal: Glad you came Adams :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts this morning
Eliza Madrigal: I claimed it Adams :)
Adams Rubble: Great, thanks Eliza :)
Adams Rubble: bye for now :)
Eliza Madrigal: Bye for now :)
Ninja Easterman: bye sorry i just listen.......friend im me to much
Fael Illyar: See you later Ninja :)
Eliza Madrigal: No worries Ninja, nice to see you anyway!
Eliza Madrigal: Bye for now

Fael and I have a little pattern of settling in more seriously after the official hour is over. :)

Eliza Madrigal: Hi Fael :)
Fael Illyar: Hello Eliza :)
Fael Illyar: oh, have you changed your avatar. You look different :)
Eliza Madrigal: Someone else said this to me the other day. I haven't really.
Eliza Madrigal: People seem to like this hair a lot :)
Fael Illyar smiles.
Fael Illyar: I'm not surprised :)
Eliza Madrigal: It may frame the face differently :) It is my dancing hair. hah
Eliza Madrigal: I was about to say that I was noticing how large your eyes are...taking everything in
Eliza Madrigal: a kind intensity
Fael Illyar: Ah, I haven't thought of it that way :)
Fael Illyar: but closing them any more than this feels just off :)
Eliza Madrigal: :) Just noticing that way this morning ... very nice
Eliza Madrigal: How've you been?
Fael Illyar: it's been a rough couple of weeks
Eliza Madrigal: Oh
Eliza Madrigal: Getting smoother now?
Fael Illyar: Yes, I'm very hopeful after yesterday.
Fael Illyar: but the details are a bit private.
Eliza Madrigal smiles, no need for details. Glad that you are hopeful!!
Fael Illyar: not just mine to share.
Eliza Madrigal: yes, that is a boundary we constantly define :)
Fael Illyar: Although there is a sense of being overloaded with something today :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hmm
Fael Illyar: but can't really tell what.
Fael Illyar: it'll come but... well preferably sooner :)
Eliza Madrigal: I'm a little similar, except that I can tell what... just that if I begin it may all flood out
Fael Illyar: I don't mind listening :)
--BELL--
Fael Illyar: feel free to shut off the recorder, though, if you wish.
Eliza Madrigal: It might be better to keep working with it, carving it down to be translatable maybe. I'm not sure
Fael Illyar: talking of something is working with it :)
Fael Illyar: question is, is it the way of working with it right now :)

Nothing too private here so I left it in. In a way it concerns Mary and Martha too, now that I look at it that way. 

Eliza Madrigal: The funny thing is, it concerns PaB as a whole... my expressing here, etc
Eliza Madrigal: So what I need to be able to do is stop editing so much
Fael Illyar: why?
Eliza Madrigal: When I do, I stay in a kind of shallows
Eliza Madrigal: or at least I feel that way
Fael Illyar: editing ... the log?
Eliza Madrigal: editing like right now...if I were to turn off the log
Fael Illyar: Oh, that.
Fael Illyar: If you feel like doing that, there's a reason behind it :)
Eliza Madrigal: I can always go back and take things out I think, but here is where I've been the last few days re: PaB and my more specifically 'buddhist' practice
Eliza Madrigal: I can see that I don't 'need' to be more involved in temples and teachers than comes naturally...ie the structure
Eliza Madrigal: there are aspects of that which I deeply enjoy
Eliza Madrigal: but I don't think I realized until a few days ago that this way of PaB cuts through a lot... to the essence I was alluding to earlier
Eliza Madrigal: BUT, this is online
Eliza Madrigal: Much of me is not online... physical life aspects which have yet to be broken open in the way that so many other aspects have
Eliza Madrigal: So people tell me I need 'a teacher' who will bring all that out
Eliza Madrigal: and I respond to that idea
Fael Illyar: anyone can be a teacher. Even when they don't know of it.
Eliza Madrigal: but..sigh... maybe I am feeling that this window of blissful learning here is something I don't want to hold too tightly to
Eliza Madrigal: and can't tell if I am. Normally I wouldn't get turned around by it!
Eliza Madrigal: I'd think "drink it all in" "ride the wave"
Fael Illyar: so... you're afraid of holding on too tightly but also doubting if you are?
Eliza Madrigal: And yes, everyone/everything can be a teacher.... a spiritual friend
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Fael Illyar smiles.
Eliza Madrigal: I'm not sure. Hahha
Fael Illyar: sure sounds like it :)
Eliza Madrigal: I may just be asking something I can't frame yet
Fael Illyar: being afraid of something, means believing it.
Eliza Madrigal: asking to see what is already there
Fael Illyar: believing is assuming you know.
Fael Illyar: doubting is assuming you know you don't.
Fael Illyar: if you do these both at once :)
Eliza Madrigal: There are times when it seems one 'knows' but doesn't believe it enough to jump
Fael Illyar: it's no wonder that you'd get confused.
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eliza Madrigal: We hold many states at once
Eliza Madrigal: I've come to think of some of these perspectives and paradigms as yogas
Eliza Madrigal: You get completely into the position and stick with it until what is very uncomfortable seems normal
Fael Illyar: I see...
Eliza Madrigal shakes head. I'm laughing because it is nearly like having the conversation we had before
Fael Illyar: then back to normal and getting used to that :)
Eliza Madrigal: :) yes maybe I feel I should 'always' be stretching...like it there
Fael Illyar: getting used to getting used :)
Eliza Madrigal: Thanks for listening :)
Fael Illyar: You're welcome :)
Fael Illyar: compared to yesterday, it's like a huge tension is gone. Kind of similar to how it feels lighter after a lightning storm.
Eliza Madrigal: Wow
Fael Illyar: a "battery" has been emptied.
Eliza Madrigal: a restfullness?
Fael Illyar: sort of :)
Eliza Madrigal: So nice
Eliza Madrigal: My shoulders softened when you said that
Fael Illyar smiles.
--BELL--
Fael Illyar: then you got the message :)
Eliza Madrigal smiles widely
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Fael Illyar smiles back.
Eliza Madrigal: hah

What is Red? Anger? Passion? Caution?

Also, yogic mind. 

Fael Illyar: I've had a red season for a while now :)
Fael Illyar: wearing just red.
Fael Illyar: or black
Eliza Madrigal: I was thinking that... that we're both in red today. It jumps out strongly!
Fael Illyar: many others have too
Eliza Madrigal: An intense color
Eliza Madrigal: yes?
Fael Illyar: it's been very common lately.
Eliza Madrigal: Funny those little waves
Fael Illyar: at least with people I've met
Eliza Madrigal: Once I painted a small wall in my house a dominant sort of red
Eliza Madrigal: Even looking the other way I could feel it
Fael Illyar smiles.
Fael Illyar: yep, it's not just the color somehow :)
Eliza Madrigal: It is also something we don't think about until we do... how the interplay of colors and light are 'tangible' in a sense?
Fael Illyar: red's like a warning flag. Warning! Active! Be careful!
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eliza Madrigal: or anger
Fael Illyar: that's one aspect, yes :)
Fael Illyar: but also sexual attraction
Eliza Madrigal: Once, after a kind of upheaval, I had been painting a lot. I looked around and noticed that all my paintings had red red red :)
Fael Illyar: those two are strangely related
Eliza Madrigal: anger and sexual attraction? Hm
Eliza Madrigal: Well, both can be intense :)
Fael Illyar: yes, if you refuse to be angry, you tend to reuse sexual arousement too.
Fael Illyar: refuse
Eliza Madrigal: you become a kind of flatline, in a sense?
Fael Illyar: yep
Eliza Madrigal: the subject of anger has come up a few times here recently... what to 'do' with it
Eliza Madrigal: I like the idea of creatively using it, but not dwelling on it
Eliza Madrigal: not keeping it
Eliza Madrigal: not generating it
Fael Illyar: anger's purpose is to enable you to do things, despite being afraid.
Eliza Madrigal: to jump? :)
Eliza Madrigal: one can jump from sheer joy too?
Fael Illyar: not generating it as such is not answer to anything. But not generating it when you're not going to want to use it would be.
Eliza Madrigal: yes, there is the thing. So often people make decisons in anger (really in this sense 'impatience')
Fael Illyar: yes, sheer joy... :)
Eliza Madrigal: and then they find they've not made one decision but millions
Eliza Madrigal: heheh
Eliza Madrigal: So can one see the anger and learn from it without doing that?
Eliza Madrigal: Seems a subtle skill
Fael Illyar: perhaps impatience is being angry with being angry...
Eliza Madrigal: yes, exhausted
Eliza Madrigal: :) And not in that delightfully empty and restful way
Fael Illyar: anger isn't very helpful against itself :)
Fael Illyar: just makes a bigger blast :)
Eliza Madrigal thinks you have a very playful mind...always flipping things around
Fael Illyar smiles.
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Fael Illyar: how do you mean flipping?
Eliza Madrigal: yogic-ly I think
Eliza Madrigal: flexibly
Fael Illyar: Aah :)
Fael Illyar: I do my best to unpack things :)
--BELL--
Eliza Madrigal: yes, it is helpful...maybe that's the way not to stay tangled
Eliza Madrigal: not that you never 'get' tangled, but it doesn't stick
Fael Illyar: there are many things for which we use a single word but that really kind of need to be said with several to easily know what else to associate it with.
Eliza Madrigal nods, true
Fael Illyar: I do like to avoid being tangled :)
Fael Illyar: it's not fun :)
Eliza Madrigal: No...fun feeling the relief afterward
Eliza Madrigal: but good not to go after that too :))))
Eliza Madrigal: I knew a lady, very smart, who made this wonderful game. She took popcicle sticks and wrote things on each side.. as unrelated as possible
Eliza Madrigal: the idea was to grab two and connect the ideas
Eliza Madrigal: from various angles
Eliza Madrigal: Easy car game with kids :)
Fael Illyar: heh, yes :)
Eliza Madrigal: wow, raining again here
Fael Illyar: cloudy and sunny here :)
Eliza Madrigal: It is that perfect kind of rain...falling forcefully and steadily like it may go on for hours
Eliza Madrigal: but it won't. haha. It is florida :)
Eliza Madrigal: It will get sunny then Boom, lightning!
Fael Illyar smiles.
Fael Illyar: That's how things go :)
Eliza Madrigal puts a flower in her hair
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Fael Illyar smiles 'I've had one almost all the time since I found the first one I liked.'
Eliza Madrigal: this one positions strangely
Eliza Madrigal: but yes, a lovely thing :)
Fael Illyar: worth the effort to get in place :)
Eliza Madrigal: yes I may play with it. I can be clumsy about things like this though, so I hesitate. I have hair that will never seem to sit correctly on my head again. hahah
Fael Illyar: just, with every hair, it needs a small bit of adjustment ... perhaps I'll link the flower with some of my hair :)
Fael Illyar: that sounds like an idea :P
Eliza Madrigal: Good idea!!
Eliza Madrigal: haha
Eliza Madrigal marvels as Fael immediately implements her plan. hah
Eliza Madrigal: think I'll turn off the log now if you have no objections?
Fael Illyar: no objection :)
