Wol Euler: I've been reading the revolution in Egypt instead, on Twitter mostly.
Zon Kwan: i saw the film but didnt get enlightened :(

Wol Euler: the army seemed to be wavering on disobeying orders
Archmage Atlantis: It is a clash
Archmage Atlantis: A moment in history
Archmage Atlantis: Like the wall
Archmage Atlantis: Like the shuttle
Pema Pera: yes, seems that way, a sudden change
Zon Kwan: pluto in capricorn...
Archmage Atlantis: Like the parting of the sea
Zon Kwan: breaking opressed structures
Archmage Atlantis: not opptessed, only no longer useful

Pema Pera: I wonder whether Jordan will be next . . .
Archmage Atlantis: The French or the American
Wol Euler: I fear that we have interesting times ahead of us.
buxar Shamen: revolution in the direction of liberty is all good in my opinion
Zon Kwan: i fear too
SophiaSharon Larnia: nods
Pema Pera: in principle, yes, but many dictatorial regimes where voted in democratically -- and then changed the rules . . . .
Archmage Atlantis: looking on wike to find the spelling of guilitine
Wol Euler nods
oO0Oo Resident: sounds like my dalliances with free will

Sunshine Vayandar: yes pls cyber ;)
Wol Euler: please do, cyber
buxar Shamen: i would
buxar Shamen: :)
Calvino Rabeni tunes his ear
Wol Euler: ((poetry mostly, cal, we started with Rumi))
Chi Aho likes poetry
cybersufi Resident: This is Called "The Moon Borrows the Sun's Light"
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
cybersufi Resident: The Moon is originally pure yin, without yang - it only gives off light after borrowing the sun's rays.
cybersufi Resident: The waxing and waning of the moonlight depends on the position and proportion of the sunlight.
cybersufi Resident: What I realize as I observe this is the Tao of borrowing yang to transmute yin.
cybersufi Resident: the Human body is originally pure yin without yang - it must borrow the yang of others to become yang.
cybersufi Resident: "Other" means everything other than oneself - sky and earth, sun and moon, myriad beings, myriad things.
cybersufi Resident: The so-called "yang of other" is the primordial open unified energy,
cybersufi Resident: which is the undying human being.
cybersufi Resident: The energy is inate, but as it mixes with acquired conditions it gradually gets scattered among the sky and the earth, sun and the moon
cybersufi Resident: myriad things and myriad beings
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
cybersufi Resident: and is not one's own anymore, belonging to other.

--BELL--

cybersufi Resident: If you know this energy is in other, and gradually steal it back to return it to self, restoring the existence of the nonexistent, regaining what had been lost,
cybersufi Resident: that is like the moon shinning and borrowing the light of the sun.
cybersufi Resident: This is the celestial mechinism of taking over Creation and reversing yin and yang...
cybersufi Resident: the end
Chi Aho: Hmmmmm
Sunshine Vayandar: hmm hmmmm
Wol Euler: thank you, cyber
cybersufi Resident: hm hm hm hmmmmmmmmmm
