Korel Laloix: Think I need to go buy a lottery ticket.
Agatha Macbeth: Or something
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe
Korel Laloix: And we have the same shirt on..... just different color..... smiles
Agatha Macbeth: Have you been here before?
Korel Laloix: Big fasion issue there.
Korel Laloix: Yes, quite a few times.. thanks.

Sunshine Vayandar: or honesty
Agatha Macbeth: I guess you need to be able to trust people to feel that
Sunshine Vayandar: yes it takes a lot of waka waka ;p
Sunshine Vayandar: lol
Agatha Macbeth: As long as you don't use a vuvuzela!
Sunshine Vayandar: hehe no that would not be apropriate
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Agatha Macbeth tries to visualise a vuvuzela meditation
Sunshine Vayandar: if I understand it right it might become a once-a-month event
Sunshine Vayandar: hehe ;)
Agatha Macbeth: All good stuff
Sunshine Vayandar: may be if you use it to put your candles in
Sunshine Vayandar: and incense
Sunshine Vayandar: ;))
Agatha Macbeth: Nothing like a good joss stick

Agatha Macbeth nods
arabella Ella: some ppl are asking for the air space to be closed
arabella Ella: so they dont fly any more merceneries into libya
arabella Ella: but if they close air space
arabella Ella: then no one can get out
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, true
arabella Ella: it is a double edged sword
Agatha Macbeth: Devil and deep blue sea
arabella Ella: oh and besides the loss of life which is priceless

Chi Aho: CHI AHO, author and lecturer, will voice Part II of "Emotional, Moral and Spiritual Development" at the large outdoor classroom at OSHO Meditation Island, 1:00 p.m. SLT, Wednesday, February 23. This is part of a three part series in voice with discussion in Text Chat only. All tips and contributions go to support OSHO which needs your help now.
Agatha Macbeth: Ok, thx
arabella Ella: cool thanks!
Agatha Macbeth: Either Wol's crashed or she's typing War and Peace
Lugh Fehr: what did you write?
Wol Euler: .
Wol Euler: :)

(I never saw anyone take so long to write a full stop before!!)
Mickorod Renard: are you chinese chi,,hope you dont mind me asking?
Chi Aho: Unfortunately there is a time conflict with PaB which I would recommend over what i have to say about moral development
arabella Ella: wow air space over tripoli closed according to Al Jazz
Chi Aho: no, Mickorod; see my profile
Mickorod Renard: thanks,
Agatha Macbeth: That's something I never do for some reason
Mickorod Renard: I always feel rude to look without permission
Lugh Fehr: men long live the revolution but this gives me a wierd feeling they have to fight a bloody war and thats tuogh way their god help them....hmmmm
Chi Aho: Lugh, I gave Part I last Wednesday with an encore yesterday; then there will be this Wednesday and the Wednesday after this. All of this is from a chapter out of a book that I self-published - a lot to be said for that vs. regular publishers. So called "vanity presses"
Agatha Macbeth nods

Lugh goes temporarily insane...
Lugh Fehr: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! :D :p :D :p :D
Lugh Fehr: can i get it from?
Wol Euler: did you print-on-demand it?
Lugh Fehr: uooops
Wol Euler: :)
arabella Ella: did i see someone drown right now?
Lugh Fehr: where can i get it from
arabella Ella: in the pond?
Lugh Fehr: *
arabella Ella: or am i going crazy?
Agatha Macbeth looks in the pond
Wol Euler: that was lugh flipping out
arabella Ella: LOL
Agatha Macbeth throws a life belt
Chi Aho: With a regular publisher you have to pay a publicist to get them to look at anything. On the other hand, with an on-demand (yes), an on-demand publisher you can save all of that money and spend it in getting the book out there, advertising
Lugh Fehr: no i thinck im going crazy
Chi Aho: But....
Wol Euler nods.
    --BELL--
Lugh Fehr: i like the path you choose to hell whit main stream
arabella Ella: join the club Lugh
Chi Aho: I am not doing this to advertise my on-demand published book, not at all; not even mentioning it in my talks
Wol Euler: but you could add the URL to your profile ...
Lugh Fehr: but where can i get it from?
Chi Aho: Lugh, I just don't think it would be right for me to do this series as a benefit for a needy sim and then turn around and try to sell books out of that.
arabella Ella: would it not be easier to add your link to your profile Chi?
Chi Aho: so no, you can't get the book
Chi Aho: If I added a link arabella, it would be the same thing; just don't want to do it
Lugh Fehr: :( heheh i m halfconfused and a bit scared to push foward
arabella Ella: ok it's a free world :)
Agatha Macbeth: It is?
arabella Ella: not really but in this scenario it is likely to be so
Agatha Macbeth grins
Lugh Fehr: well you should share not being greedy is a thing of the heart not the thing of the world
Lugh Fehr: that soundd a bit odd meaning you wouldnt be greedy you would be sharing well any way ...hehe :P
Agatha Macbeth: If Chi isn't easy with it, we should respect that
Lugh Fehr: yes sory for pushing
Wol Euler: on the other hand, chi, you could make a special page: all profit from orders placed there is donated to osho.
Agatha Macbeth: I don't think you did anything to be sorry for Lugh :)
Wol Euler: let people donatethrough you
Chi Aho: ho, ho
Chi Aho: They are already getting my 50% of the tip jar as well as their own 50% and also 100% of the donation jar
Wol Euler: seriously
Wol Euler: what you do with your income is your business. Donate the proceeds from the book
Agatha Macbeth: Then they should be grateful :)
Wol Euler: anyway. if this makes you uncomfortable, we should drop it.
Agatha Macbeth nods
arabella Ella agrees
Agatha Macbeth: Your heart's in the right place Chi, that's what matters
Lugh Fehr: hihi
Lugh Fehr: :)
arabella Ella giggles
Lugh Fehr: ever heard good yogi gurus speak on youtube or somewhere els for that matter?
arabella Ella: i think Zen gave us some good links once but i dont know what it was called
arabella Ella: it was a meditation site with audio
Lugh Fehr: nono the indian ones dough they got a dff style to it...its in moor hinduistic terms ,in west its moor buddhist generly
arabella Ella: ah ok i see
Chi Aho: We must, each one, become our own guru. (That sounds good, doesn't it? I'll have to remember that! :-)
arabella Ella: i can get you to meet some of my students if you like Lugh
Lugh Fehr: they quite cool if your open to their way of speaking
Wol Euler smiles.
    --BELL--
Lugh Fehr: tnx but i wouldnt have anything to say and if i did they wouldnt hear it from me they would hear someother odd thing
Chi Aho: Hey guys, just got some good feedback on my talk from a friend: She said half of what i had to say was obvious, and the other half she couldn't understand what I was talking about at all! :P
arabella Ella: i guarantee they would enjoy that Lugh
