2010.04.27 07:00 - Prayer Focus

The Guardian for this meeting was Riddle Sideways. The comments are by Riddle Sideways.

Amid the flitting and bouncing about in this session there are some gems.  This least obivious is about the need, desire and lost of foc-us.  Another is the "what" is a prayer icon, object, target, medium, power source and/or scared image.

Riddle Sideways: good morning, listener master

Riddle Sideways: Hi Yaku
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey riddle

Riddle Sideways: what is that effect?
Yakuzza Lethecus: sry ?
Yakuzza Lethecus: the green is from the emerald viewer
Yakuzza Lethecus: but i have no clue why there were boxes in the air
Riddle Sideways: ah
Yakuzza Lethecus: but they belonged to me

Riddle Sideways: morning, storm
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey storm
Storm Nordwind: Good morning

Riddle Sideways: yes, was just looking at those boxes
Riddle Sideways: were they from your happy hour Friday?
Yakuzza Lethecus: have those boxes been created when i tped here ?
Yakuzza Lethecus: i hope not
Storm Nordwind sees no boxes - other than the one of Yak's he returned from his plot
Yakuzza Lethecus: i wonder why i was the creator
Yakuzza Lethecus: i took em
Yakuzza Lethecus: but there were 2 boxes in the air when i arrived
Riddle Sideways: before you got here
Storm Nordwind: Maybe you have the SL box-virus
Riddle Sideways: just the normal "boxes in the air" that you find everywhere
Storm Nordwind: It can only be cured by dropping ;)
Riddle Sideways: :)

--BELL--

Riddle Sideways: SL probably has the biggest lost-n-found dept

Riddle Sideways: well, I for one am having focus problems today :)
Storm Nordwind: easily distracted?
Riddle Sideways: seems so
Riddle Sideways: ADD, Adult Distraction Disease ... again
Darren Islar: :-)
Yakuzza Lethecus: hehe, if you get enough ppl together you might get it into DSM :P
Storm Nordwind: FAD, Focused Attention Disorder
Yakuzza Lethecus: i wonder if some deaseases actually really exist or are somehow made up
Yakuzza Lethecus: all these attention disorders
Riddle Sideways: sometimes I even get mad at the 15 minute timer on puter the interrupts my interruptions of interruptions
Riddle Sideways: and that "don't have time to claim down" attitude sucks
Riddle Sideways: don't you find being the center of the universe and all it's blame very tiring?
Storm Nordwind chuckles
Storm Nordwind: There's blame in the universe?!
Riddle Sideways: :)
Lucinda Lavender: the mental universe...
Storm Nordwind: I gues there is if you want there to be ;)
Lucinda Lavender: more to drop...
Darren Islar: A lot of diseases exist because they have know idea how to treat it
Darren Islar: *no
Riddle Sideways: I am not an astrophysician, but when 2+ universes collide
Riddle Sideways: they blame the other one
Darren Islar: heheh
Lucinda Lavender: chuckling...
Lucinda Lavender: boundary issue...
Storm Nordwind: What happens happens :)
Riddle Sideways: and the wheel turns

--BELL--

Riddle Sideways: Lucinda, not sure if we have met before
Riddle Sideways: have you been coming to these session without me
Lucinda Lavender: ah! Greeting...
Lucinda Lavender: I guess...
Lucinda Lavender: are you wondering something about me?
Riddle Sideways: no more then I wonder about all others
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Riddle Sideways: am having trouble getting focus on this session
Riddle Sideways: have that calm before storm (sry 4 pun) feeling
Darren Islar: what have you been doing last night :-)

Storm Nordwind: Do you have techniques to hand to regain focus?
Storm Nordwind: Or sufficient coffee perhaps? ;)
Riddle Sideways: 1. coffee just kicking in
Riddle Sideways: 2. I often breathe
Riddle Sideways: 3. a solid 'clap' helps wonders
Storm Nordwind: I've found that life without breathing is often rather short
Riddle Sideways: and blue
Darren Islar: :-)

Lucinda Lavender: when the list of the day seems daunting I am ore inclined to jump from one thought to the next...o
Riddle Sideways: one problem is that one of my fav devices got taken away
Darren Islar: I'm afraid I'm looking a bit blue today :-)
Storm Nordwind speculates what device Riddle has lost
Riddle Sideways: use to imagine on the word "Focus"
Riddle Sideways: but, in working with some ppl from an unnamed country
Riddle Sideways: their pronounciation makes me laugh instead
Riddle Sideways: Fuc-us
Storm Nordwind chuckles
Riddle Sideways: now I can't "Focus" without laughing

Yakuzza Lethecus: hey arch
Darren Islar: hi Arch
Riddle Sideways: Hi arch
Lucinda Lavender: HI Archmage! what are you carrying today?

Storm Nordwind: A carpet beater perhaps?
Yakuzza Lethecus: the holy carpet beater
Archmage Atlantis: The prayer staff I was given by Moon an Star
Storm Nordwind: What does it do?
Riddle Sideways: I often pray that the rug beatings will stop
Archmage Atlantis: yep, a carpet beater
Riddle Sideways: does one pray through it, with it, be reminded by it, empowered pray, or other
Archmage Atlantis: I think it is only to remind me
Riddle Sideways: yes, most of our pray objects/icons do that
Storm Nordwind has, in the last week, just installed prayer wheels on his guardian plot
Lucinda Lavender: it reminds me of a magnifying glass

--BELL--

Darren Islar is going to check out Storm's plot soon
Riddle Sideways: many think prayer items are used like magnifying lens
Riddle Sideways: clearer look into details
Lucinda Lavender: increasing focus?
Riddle Sideways: maybe
Storm Nordwind: That might be your answer this morning then! ;)
Riddle Sideways: :)
Darren Islar: hmmmm, is a great translation of the use

Archmage Atlantis: What iss that dance done hee at times?
Darren Islar: oni gokko you mean?
Storm Nordwind: You mean the onigokko dance Arch?
Archmage Atlantis: I think so
Storm Nordwind: You have to be wearing an attachment for it to work
Archmage Atlantis: once upon a time, I was given one

Riddle Sideways: oh Darren, I visited your lab... and got a dance animate stuck for the longest time
Darren Islar: huh?
Riddle Sideways: the roof-top next to your lab
Riddle Sideways: has a dance floor
Riddle Sideways: and the dance ball got stuck
Darren Islar: ah, yes
Riddle Sideways: was looking thru your bookshief
Riddle Sideways: doing the macarana
Darren Islar: I had some problems on the night of the party too
Darren Islar: couldn't stop dancing, whatever I did
Archmage Atlantis: It shall be unstuck
Darren Islar: i needed to log off :-)
Darren Islar: but nice to hear you visited the place Riddle :-)
Storm Nordwind: Not even "World > Stop animating my avatar" worked?
Riddle Sideways: could not make your party
Darren Islar: no, only worked for a few secons
Darren Islar: *seconds
Darren Islar: got a rose from someone that needs to stop all animations too
Riddle Sideways: actually glad nobody else was around

Darren Islar: somebody need to have a look at that
Darren Islar: heheh Riddle

Storm Nordwind: Perhaps you were wearing something somewhere that getting reanimating you
Storm Nordwind: *kept
Darren Islar: don't know, but now I understand I wasn't the only one
Darren Islar: can't remember having something like that on me

Storm Nordwind: Perhaps your dance floor is haunted?
Darren Islar: could be :-)

Lucinda Lavender: must go focus....
Lucinda Lavender: farewell all
Storm Nordwind smiles and waves

Riddle Sideways: a previous second life?
Darren Islar: there are things around there.......well, people don't like to talk about it :-)

Riddle Sideways: bye Lucinda
Darren Islar: by Luci
Lucinda Lavender: bye

Storm Nordwind: Actually there ARE ghosts on Second Life
Riddle Sideways: of course ghosts in the machine
Darren Islar: tell Storm
Riddle Sideways: do
Archmage Atlantis: Yes we are here
Darren Islar: still haven't found what was going on with my windows :-)
Storm Nordwind: I know of two types. There are avatars that appear to be there but you can walk right through them, and the person is not logged on. And there are pieces of invisible land too that do not appear to be there but that you can collide with
Darren Islar: oh, never met
Archmage Atlantis: A mage can do magic
Darren Islar: I know bots, but you can't walk through that
Darren Islar: *them
Riddle Sideways: and those things just seen out of the corner of your video card
Storm Nordwind chuckles
Riddle Sideways: there is a grey/mute Storm up by the village square
Darren Islar: hmmm, would like to meet an avatar like that
Riddle Sideways: do you need special permission to run those bots?
Darren Islar: ah :-)

--BELL--

Darren Islar: bots aren't allowed, they are used to put green dots on the map
Darren Islar: looking at Yaku we appear to have a dynamic discussion going on :-)
Archmage Atlantis: Bots, to me, they are life
Storm Nordwind: Riveting
Riddle Sideways: sorry, did not mean to make light of ghosts here
Darren Islar: he seems to forget his avatar regularly
Darren Islar: wb Yaku :-)
Yakuzza Lethecus: :)
Archmage Atlantis: I forget nothing
Riddle Sideways: I have forgotten what I forgot
Riddle Sideways: so nice that it works that way
Darren Islar: it is :-)
Riddle Sideways: then there are those things wished to be forgotten
Riddle Sideways: some of those are ghosts too
Darren Islar: hmmmm, but can still be pretty scary sometimes

Archmage Atlantis: I do like that name, riddle sidewats
Darren Islar: I like the first name
Archmage Atlantis: c
Archmage Atlantis: clever
Storm Nordwind notices that "sidewats" could be a Thai Ping mistake
Riddle Sideways: just a name..
Riddle Sideways: picked the lastname when I was just born into SL
Riddle Sideways: did not know of better names
Darren Islar: it is not about the letters you put in a certain order
Darren Islar: sometimes they do have a meaning
Riddle Sideways: yesterday, I had to go through far toooo much ado about my name
Riddle Sideways: Corp. world can't deal with it
Riddle Sideways: email accounts at corporations can't deal
Darren Islar: it's a riddle to them :-)
Riddle Sideways: seems easy, I am the only Riddle at the company
Riddle Sideways: just make my account speeled that way
Riddle Sideways: my full legal lastname has a character in it that stumps computers/databases

Darren Islar: I need to go fellows, got some shopping to do
Darren Islar: see you

Riddle Sideways: they always try to go into subtraction

Storm Nordwind waves
Riddle Sideways: ok, bye
