The Guardian for this meeting was Calvino Rabeni. The comments are by Calvino Rabeni.

Calvino Rabeni:  thinks - No one is here except me
And some IM-ers :) You don't get too disconnected in SL I suppose
So it's"all drop no stop"
No chat, just a mini retreat hour of - hmm, couldn't call it "silence" given all that's going on
--BELL--

Calvino Rabeni: Lots of drops, one after another - it's hard to remember and report them all.
Starting with some attutudes - like - my time would be better spent elsewhere
I thought I heard a poiice siren behind the noise of the computer fan, then kind of filled it in by imagination for a while, then dropped it
...
Interesting... I focused on the sequel - "...and see what you are" (after "drop what you have")
Dropped the idea that it should be some profound metaphysical "I AM"
An emergent quality I-amness that is expanded in some ways, is the result I notice
expanded in the sense of time, in the feeling of relating to people in the realm of me-ness in the minds's eye
I notice some recent memories coming back, taking a bit of a fuller significance - as if I hadn't quite had the awareness the first time 'round, and second time round they're more celebratory in some way...
If I could bottle and sell this I'd be rolling in cashola :)
But I'm really curious if the experiment could be "replicated" with other people!

Calvino Rabeni: And that was the session that was.
