2011.02.11 13:00 - Waka Waka !

The Guardian for this meeting was Bruce Mowbray, subbing for Yaku. The comments are by Bruce Mowbray. About four hours before this session, the president of Egypt [finally] resigned - - prompting our celebratory mood and best wishes to the Egyptian people.

Bruce Mowbray: Welcome, Samuo - and congratulations!
Bruce Mowbray: Welcome, Sun!
Sunshine Vayandar: rezrez
Sunshine Vayandar: how are you Bruce & Sam ;)
Bruce Mowbray: I'm just fine, thanks.
Bruce Mowbray: Happy for the Egyptians -- so far.
Sunshine Vayandar: hmm it's a long process hmm
oO0Oo Resident: Good ty, Sunshine
Sunshine Vayandar: happy to hear Sam ;)
Sunshine Vayandar: in Africa things are never really stable - one has the feeling something can happen anytime
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, I've been apprehensive all day. . .
Sunshine Vayandar: so one has to be alert
Sunshine Vayandar: wishing all the best for them
oO0Oo Resident waves at Blub
Bruce Mowbray: Oh yes.
Blub waves a fin at Samuo.
oO0Oo Resident: :)
Sunshine Vayandar: hi Blub ;))
Bruce Mowbray: Would you mind if Blub came over where you are, to visit, Samuo?
Bruce Mowbray: just for a couple of minutes, of course.
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
oO0Oo Resident smiles delightedly
Bruce Mowbray: He is a very curious fish.
oO0Oo Resident: come on Blub!
Bruce Mowbray: and a friendly one, too.
Bruce Mowbray: ok.....

oO0Oo Resident: In da house!
Wol Euler: evening all!
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Wol!
Sunshine Vayandar: hi there, Wolly ;)
oO0Oo Resident: hey Wol
Wol Euler: "chomskyite"?
Wol Euler: hehehe
oO0Oo Resident feels all apprehension slip away, as Blub's circlings draw near
oO0Oo Resident: listening to Noam Chomsky speak is like watching a waterfall, unimpeded and without interjections
Bruce Mowbray: Are you referring to my groups, Wol?
Wol Euler: yep, your title
oO0Oo Resident: clear and direct
Bruce Mowbray: Oh -- forgot to change it... sry.
Wol Euler: np
Bruce Mowbray: I don't have my labels showing - so I didn't realize.
Bruce now wonders in how many other places he's announced that he's a Chomskyite.
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Bruce Mowbray: Yaku asked me to sub for him today -- Apparently he cannot get on the internet this afternoon.
--BELL--
Wol Euler: ah, yes, Friday again.
Wol Euler: oops
Bruce Mowbray: np.

oO0Oo Resident thanks Blub for visiting
Bruce Mowbray: It was Blub's joy -- thanks for letting him visit.
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Wol Euler notices that the other fish have gone again.
Wol Euler: perhaps they're migratory?
Bruce Mowbray is now wearing FOUR onigokko's
Bruce Mowbray: onigokko
Wol Euler: better :)
Wol Euler: 100% improvement
Bruce Mowbray: stop
Bruce Mowbray: I don't know which one of the four that was, but it worked!
Bruce Mowbray: So, we'll be having an in-world retreat, starting tomorrow morning. . .
Sunshine Vayandar: really?
Wol Euler: oh cool
Wol Euler: right.
Sunshine Vayandar: wakaon
Bruce Mowbray: I'm feeling a need for another one. . .
Bruce Mowbray: Oh my!

Bruce Mowbray: It helps if one stands up before playing that one!
oO0Oo Resident: dancing helps
Wol Euler: all true statements :)
Sunshine Vayandar: yes ;) life is a dance
Wol Euler hums "god is a DJ"
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
oO0Oo Resident feels refreshed
Bruce Mowbray: Have you been working hard, Wol --- so that you need sleep, I mean?
Wol Euler: yeah, finishing a competition. it finished a week ago but we are all still drained
Bruce Mowbray: wow.
Wol Euler: boss and family were sick all week
Bruce Mowbray: oh dear. sorry. . .

Sunshine Vayandar: hmm and during these sessions what happens?
Calvino Rabeni actually smells popcorn
Bruce Mowbray: What happens will emerge from the group itself. . .
oO0Oo Resident: hehe ... given to me a nice dance performance
oO0Oo Resident listens
Bruce Mowbray: We will probably have broad group-purposes as well as individual purposes for being there.
Sunshine Vayandar: U missed waka waka Cal ;p
Sunshine Vayandar: so a bit like the RL retreat?
Sunshine Vayandar: ty Bruce ;)
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, I think so -- although I've never been to one of those.
Sunshine Vayandar: it's a bit confusing where these events are - and who can attend
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, I understand that. . .
Sunshine Vayandar: I would love to hear when voice sessions are - or art sessions
oO0Oo Resident: the wiki has lots of info on them
Bruce Mowbray: There is a Ways of Knowing voice session on Wednesdays --
oO0Oo Resident: hehe
Bruce Mowbray: and Yaku normally has a voice session here (at the fountain) every Friday at 12:00 slt.

Zen Arado: what on earth :)
--BELL--
Eliza Madrigal: Hey Zen!
Bruce Mowbray: Ha!
Bruce Mowbray: (bell?)
Wol Euler: brute-force changes you to a guy, which brute-forces a new rendering
Sunshine Vayandar: wakaoff
oO0Oo Resident: hi zen
Sunshine Vayandar: wakaon
Wol Euler: but also spoils your shape :) hence the need to copy
Eliza Madrigal: okay... let me see... a bit hesitant to do that here because it may do strange things with clothes and I wouldn't know :)
Wol Euler: yep :)
Sunshine Vayandar: wakaoff
Sunshine Vayandar: Zen seems calm and collected
Wol Euler: IM me when you get to somewhere private to do it :)

Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Wol Euler smiles
Bruce Mowbray: Blub is powerfully confused . . .
Eliza Madrigal: haha
Wol Euler: this is like this dreadful moment near the end of the party
Wol Euler: when the music stops and nobody knows what to do
Sunshine Vayandar: Chi are you a teacher at Osho island?
oO0Oo Resident: wakaon
oO0Oo Resident: hehehehe
Chi Aho: Yes, Sun
Eliza Madrigal: I feel like a character in a book when wearing this avatar.... very wide eyed... looking for toto
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Sunshine Vayandar: can I come to learn?
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Sunshine Vayandar: ty Chi ;)
Sunshine Vayandar: wakaoff
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Chi Aho: Chi Aho, author and lecturer, will speak at OSHO Meditation Island Tree House Classroom at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, February 16th on "Emotional, Moral and Spiritual Development." This will be the first of a planned three part series on this subject with all contributions going to support OSHO.
Eliza Madrigal: Ah, thanks Chi
oO0Oo Resident: sounds good Chi
Zen Arado: ty Chi
Chi Aho: I have a short story, just a few lines
oO0Oo Resident listens
Chi Aho: There were two Buddhist monks, members of a sect that practiced archery
Chi Aho: I don't know whether their archery was to remind them that "sin" means just missing the mark,....
Chi Aho: or just why they practiced
Chi Aho: One day, one monk said to another,...
Chi Aho: "Your arrow always seems to hit right in the middle of the bull's eye.
Chi Aho: He stressed, "I mean, every time. How do you do this?"
Chi Aho: The other monk replied, "Oh, that's easy.....
Chi Aho: First you shoot the arrow......
Chi Aho: and then you go over and paint in the target"
Chi Aho: ~!!!!
Wol Euler: :)
Zen Arado: :)
Calvino Rabeni: Ah yes
--BELL--
Calvino Rabeni: many are masters of this art without giving themselves credit
Wol Euler: :)
Bruce Mowbray ponders painting the target as one version of "Starting at the end."
Calvino Rabeni: There are three levels of skill: 1. Tōteki, the arrow hits the target. 2. Kanteki, the arrow pierces the target. 3. Zaiteki, the arrow exists in the target.
Calvino Rabeni: That is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%ABd%C5%8D
Chi Aho: Hi, zen
Calvino Rabeni: So I think you're onto it, Bruce :)
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Zen Arado: clicking on links crashes me atm
oO0Oo Resident: "spot on", as is said
Zen Arado: is latest version of Phoenix
Zen Arado: missed what you said Bruce
Zen Arado: Hi Chi
Eliza Madrigal: on the spot :D
Wol Euler: out damned spot, the dogowner cried
Wol Euler: sorry.
oO0Oo Resident: sit spot, sit!
Zen Arado: :)
Eliza Madrigal thinks of the carol burnett shout it out skit for some reason
oO0Oo Resident: lol
Eliza Madrigal: sit sit sit
Bruce Mowbray: @ Zen - I just said that painting the target after shooting the arrow seems like one version of "Starting at the end."
oO0Oo Resident: sit com
Zen Arado: ah yes
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Eliza Madrigal: YES Bruce
Eliza Madrigal: arrow and target at once... something like that?
Bruce Mowbray: Actually, that practice has been very useful for me -- especially when I think there is no way from here to there.
Eliza Madrigal nods
Zen Arado: we reduce our goals to what we can easily achieve?
Bruce Mowbray: especially with emotionally-charged issues.
oO0Oo Resident nods
Bruce Mowbray: Good point, Zen. . .
Bruce Mowbray: and thereby limit ourselves severely.
Eliza Madrigal: emotions are a rich rich topic
Chi Aho: emotional development even richer
Bruce Mowbray: yes, a topic that Chi will be discussing next Wednesday.
Eliza Madrigal: I was watching TV a lot in the last two days and thinking that the Egyptians have been doing 'remain like a log' practice...
Wol Euler: heh, yes
Chi Aho: with your help..... tell me about emotional development - what do you think is behind it?
Bruce Mowbray would really appreciate an LM to the Tree House at Osho.
Zen Arado: not even sure I know what an emotion is any more after last night
Zen Arado: me too Chi
Eliza Madrigal: emotions seem to require spaciousness to be healthy?
Bruce Mowbray listens carefully . . .
Chi Aho: I don't want to draw people away from this sim, Bruce
Zen Arado: feelings/emotions distinction?
Eliza Madrigal: there is no 'space' in reactivity
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, Chi, people here go to all sorts of places...
Calvino Rabeni: "remain like a log" .. a little easier than "rope-a-dope" ?
Eliza Madrigal: only enriches us
Bruce Mowbray: OK. ---- but the LM can be slid easily - without leaving.
Bruce Mowbray: But no, Cha.
Bruce Mowbray: np.
Bruce Mowbray: Chi. sry.
Bruce Mowbray: (oh dear....)
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Zen Arado empathizes with Bruce
Eliza Madrigal doesn't understand what rope a dope means, but recently learned what the 'brass ring' is all about
oO0Oo Resident: lol cal, Zen: NVC describes feelings/emotions distinctions well
Bruce Mowbray appreciates all the empathy he can GET!
Bruce Mowbray: THANKS, Chi!
Sunshine Vayandar empathizes with Bruce as well
Wol Euler: rope-a-dope was a boxing move invented by Mohammad Ali
Zen Arado: ty Chi
Eliza Madrigal: Oh? listens...
Wol Euler: if I remember rightly, it was an application of wu wei!
Wol Euler: heheh!
Wol Euler: doing without doing
Eliza Madrigal: !>!
Eliza Madrigal: How so...
Zen Arado: stings like a butterfly?
Eliza Madrigal leans in
Calvino Rabeni: Rope-a-dope is a famous strategy used by boxer Muhammad Ali to defeat a stronger opponent
Wol Euler: he'd lean back against the ropes and let the other guy futilely punch himself tired against Ali's arms
Calvino Rabeni: George Foreman
Wol Euler: then just flatten him
Calvino Rabeni:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope-a-dope
Wol Euler: yep
Eliza Madrigal: Ahhh.... yes very daoist
Eliza Madrigal: well or I was thinking of some tai chi anyway...
oO0Oo Resident: dance like a bee
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Eliza Madrigal: 'be water'
Wol Euler: btw on this subject let me recommend the film "When we were kings" to all non-boxing fans :)
Calvino Rabeni: Yes it's a good film
Zen Arado: dance like a butterfly :)
Zen Arado: sting like a bee
Wol Euler: whatever you might think of boxing, it's a wonderful film
oO0Oo Resident: ty Wol
Bruce Mowbray will check it out on Netflix.
Eliza Madrigal makes note
Sunshine Vayandar: I think I saw it hmm
Wol Euler: because it isn't really about boxing, it's about character and ... for want of a word ... rightness
--BELL--
Sunshine Vayandar: Miriam Makeba is in it?
Wol Euler: yes, it was about the foreman/ali fight in Africa
Zen Arado: the rumble in the jungle?
Wol Euler: except that it isn't about that at all really.
Wol Euler: like saying that Hamlet isn't about Denmark
Wol Euler: it just happens to be there
oO0Oo Resident Draws readers attention to Georgina's comment on this page (scroll down to 10th comment) http://is.gd/XIqLRg
Eliza Madrigal: yay... you know what that means don't you...
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)

Eliza Madrigal: wakaoff
Calvino Rabeni: Today a friend and I were talking about Sun Tzu's the Art of War... which is a catalog of strategies (an old Chinese / Taoist classic) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War - but no entry in the catalog for "victory by entertainment" as far as I know. :)
Wol Euler: :)
Eliza Madrigal: active meditation
Wol Euler smiles.
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Eliza Madrigal: a sort of wu wei topic... today I noticed "Inter Resting"
oO0Oo Resident infected by laughter, laughs also
Eliza Madrigal: dancing together, resting together... actively
Wol Euler: :)
Bruce Mowbray is curious about Inter-resting...
Eliza Madrigal: yes, that's it :)
Eliza Madrigal giggles
Sunshine Vayandar: inter-resting ;))
oO0Oo Resident: Now we all pile on the bed with soft pillows
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Wol Euler: yes please

Bruce Mowbray: Brian! Welcome!
Brian Roop: hi everyone
Brian Roop: slow slow rezzing
Alessa Tzal: No Yaku this evening?
Bruce Mowbray: Nope, Yaku asked me to claim this session for him today.
Alessa Tzal: He's probably asleep again :p
Wol Euler: :)
Bruce Mowbray: He told me that he'd be unable to get on the Internet today.
Bruce Mowbray: Don't actually know why, though -- none of my business.
Alessa Tzal: Shame
Bruce Mowbray: How are you today, Robin?
Bruce Mowbray: I mean BRIAN!
Bruce Mowbray: sry. . . I've done that before, I know.

Alessa Tzal: onigokko
Bruce Mowbray: Good to hear that, Brian.
Bruce Mowbray: OH GOSH!
Alessa Tzal: What frivolity?
Brian Roop: um, what brought that on?
Chi Aho: New kind of Buddhist meditation?
Alessa Tzal: Moi :)
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Alessa Tzal: stop
Wol Euler: it's a kind of tradition here
Wol Euler: on Fridays in particular
Alessa Tzal: On a Friday
Bruce Mowbray suspects that Friday automatically brings that on. . .
Brian Roop: TGIF
Alessa Tzal nods
Wol Euler: we celebrate the essential meaninglessness of it all
Chi Aho: now it has only the meaning that you give to it
Wol Euler: exactly :)
Bruce Mowbray: Instead of pursuing frivolity - we 'start at the end' and find it AT ONCE!
Zen Arado: yes
Alessa Tzal: Maybe that is meaning enough...
Brian Roop: dessert first!
Alessa Tzal: The dessert song
Bruce Mowbray: Yayyyyy!
Zen Arado: :)

Alessa Tzal groans

Sunshine Vayandar: hmm I wonder what all that means about knives ;p
Alessa Tzal: Bowie knife?
Wol Euler: a big thick serrated-edged hunting knife
Alessa Tzal: Invented by Jim of that name
Sunshine Vayandar: hmm you mean the song - still loading for me hmm ;)
Alessa Tzal: Not sure if Jim Bowie was a singer
Wol Euler: should have been, what a great rock'n'roll name like that
--BELL--
