Wol Euler recovered this session from the autologging database. Dakini appears to have been GoC.
Dakini Rhode: hi Eos
Eos Amaterasu: Hi Dakini
Dakini Rhode: please pardon my lateness
Eos Amaterasu: That's fine! NP... I was feeling kind of tired, but thought I'd sit in for a while
Eos Amaterasu: How are you doing?
Dakini Rhode: very well! Today I retired from my former career and shared a delicious dinner with a good friend
Eos Amaterasu: Oh - congratulations!
Dakini Rhode: just as I was saying I want to do something of importance with the rest of my life, a perfect rainbow appeared over his head
Eos Amaterasu: The elements conspire with you
Dakini Rhode: smiling
Eos Amaterasu: Are you shifting careers/work/play, or retiring in a more general sense?
--BELL--
Dakini Rhode: well i did just retire, and I'm sure a shift is happening, but unsure of the direction as of now
Eos Amaterasu: state of suspension
Dakini Rhode: haha a bardo
Eos Amaterasu: we're in it right now
Dakini Rhode: useful to recognize it, i think
Eos Amaterasu sees Dakini emanating some purple objects
Dakini Rhode: o i was "looking" at the picture frame embedded in the pavilion ceiling
Dakini Rhode: anyway, how are things with you?
Eos Amaterasu: O
Eos Amaterasu: I'm totally lost in camera viewpoints... :-)
Eos Amaterasu: another bardo :-)
Dakini Rhode: :-)
Eos Amaterasu: I was out of my body :-)
Eos Amaterasu: Would you say the 9secs is a little bardo?
Dakini Rhode: o that happens once you start camming around
Dakini Rhode: if i understand the word correctly, yes! the little bit between one 15 minute chat and the next one
Eos Amaterasu: yes.... between one pre-occupation and the next
Dakini Rhode: but hmmm if you don't actually pause but try to keep in mind what you wanted to say before, maybe it's not a bardo
Dakini Rhode: haha
Eos Amaterasu: or, if you're int the little bardo, and things are coming out of that, they can stay coming out of the bardo as they come out, so to speak
Dakini Rhode: so even when things are coming and going it's still a little bardo
Eos Amaterasu: Actually things never really leave the big bardo anyway
Dakini Rhode: what is the big bardo?
Eos Amaterasu: Being with a big B :-)
Eos Amaterasu: there's the bardo of before you were born
Eos Amaterasu: and after you die
Eos Amaterasu: and you haven't really left that even now
--BELL--
Eos Amaterasu: I was thinking about "dakini", "sky dancer" - could also be "bardo dancer" or "Being dancer"
Dakini Rhode: wondering if we don't really leave that bardo, what would it be "between"?
Eos Amaterasu: I think we experience it through "between-ness", like a 9-sec gap between aactivities, but actually it's pervasive
Eos Amaterasu: and activity comes from that, and doesn't really leave it
Eos Amaterasu: and isn't even separate from it
Eos Amaterasu: bardo as cornucopia :-)
Eos Amaterasu: I think that's also dakini aspect: fertile chaos, playfulness, also scary messaging
Dakini Rhode: :-) what i'm getting is that the experience of a bardo is a matter of where we place our attention
Eos Amaterasu: Yeah, we tend to place our attention on seemingly solid things
Dakini Rhode: interesting to look at it from that perspective
Dakini Rhode: amused by the scary messaging bit, but uncertain what it means
Eos Amaterasu: dakinis have fangs :-)
Eos Amaterasu: and sharp implements
Dakini Rhode: o that might seem scary
Eos Amaterasu: I think the idea being that they keep you in reality when you try to avoid that
Eos Amaterasu: the phenomenal world is communicating with you
Dakini Rhode: after i chose the name dakini for my avatar i realized i didn't know nearly enough about the topic
Dakini Rhode: good thing though about the phenomenal world, and rainbows, and dakinis fangs
Eos Amaterasu: yes, who's zoomin' who? :-)
Eos Amaterasu: I have done study/practice of Vajrayogini, seeing myself as her
Eos Amaterasu: or is it her seeing me?
Dakini Rhode: just when you think you're separate... where is the separation?
Eos Amaterasu: that's the nice thing about SL, we can do such things as well...
--BELL--
Eos Amaterasu: yes, playing with that
Eos Amaterasu: Dakini, I must leave, enjoy your tiny and big bardos, retirement and re-engagement, whatver that may be
Dakini Rhode: thank you Eos, enjoy your evening and be well
Eos Amaterasu: Caio!
Dakini Rhode: nite :-)
