Eos Amaterasu: Hi iwandertoo
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Eos Amaterasu:

the beloved tree shines
never separated
being with this common
of playful paradise

Eos Amaterasu reads a beautful poem
iwandertoo Resident: :)
Eos Amaterasu: (left by Bruce?)
iwandertoo Resident: written for him?
Eos Amaterasu: sounds positively shakespearean

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu: Bruce's email tagline:
Eos Amaterasu:

And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.
- - - - As You Like It, II:1"

iwandertoo Resident: :)
iwandertoo Resident: "...and good in everything."
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eos Amaterasu: What do you find good about coming here, or being here, or being :-) ?
iwandertoo Resident: the quiet when it is...listening to very different perspectives than my own when present...finding people for whom questions are not perceived as challenges but seeking to understand.
iwandertoo Resident: and more
iwandertoo Resident: you?
Eos Amaterasu: :-) "the quiet when it is..." : I like that
Eos Amaterasu: all that you said
Eos Amaterasu: amazing little global moment and place, that is yet a close, intimate circle

Eos Amaterasu: Have you been here to Play as Being before?
frankblack Nirvana: life is a play and sl is a second life Eos, so yes
Eos Amaterasu: hmm
Eos Amaterasu thinks, a pretty ambiguous answer :-)
frankblack Nirvana: not the answer, the perception
frankblack Nirvana: i gave up on meaning
iwandertoo Resident: we record the sessions and post them on the net. are you okay with this?
frankblack Nirvana: lost in semantics and protocol i guess
frankblack Nirvana: sure Susan
Eos Amaterasu: http://wiki.playasbeing.org
frankblack Nirvana: im nothing but a traveller
iwandertoo Resident: a heads up...this is why Eos was asking - to make sure you're okay with it.
frankblack Nirvana: and i though it was someting inspiring, but its a protocol
frankblack Nirvana: bound by rules we are
iwandertoo Resident: an fyi
Eos Amaterasu: there's all of life, indeed :-)
Eos Amaterasu: I can give you a notecard (in parallel to other ways of being here)
frankblack Nirvana: we are here but also there, cyberception, virtual and real
frankblack Nirvana: blurred realities

iwandertoo Resident: same reality, no?
frankblack Nirvana: no, totally different
iwandertoo Resident: please?
frankblack Nirvana: roy ascott has written papers on the concept
iwandertoo Resident: i'm sorry, s/he is not familiar to me
frankblack Nirvana: your perception is in both
Eos Amaterasu: quick lookup: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Ascott
frankblack Nirvana: you perceive me in here
Eos Amaterasu: perception
frankblack Nirvana: but in rl you dont talk :)
Eos Amaterasu: the continuity of perception has, is, inherent purity
iwandertoo Resident: the principle would be communication, yes?
frankblack Nirvana: its the duality of perception, yes communication
iwandertoo Resident: duality of perception - sorry, what does this mean?
frankblack Nirvana: being here and also there
iwandertoo Resident: same mind perceiving
Eos Amaterasu: Bukeroo Banzai

Eos Amaterasu: that's why "sitting" practice is considered so wonderful: just be there
frankblack Nirvana: our quest to move our reality

--BELL--

frankblack Nirvana: but what is real anyomre ?
iwandertoo Resident: for me, what i have found, is a group of individuals who are willing to share their thoughts, how they reason and challenge themselves
