The Guardian for this meeting was Agatha Macbeth. The comments are by Agatha Macbeth. For the second week running I had issues at the beginning of my session: this time my screen froze and took ten minutes to get back in. Then I found my boots wouldn't rez properly and had to go into appearance mode. Meanwhile, the crowd was assembling and wondering what the hell I was up to.

Wol Euler smiles.
--BELL--
Agatha Macbeth: Haven't seen him for ages
oO0Oo Resident: Observertoo
Mickorod Renard: have you ever noticed that the more you know the more you realise there is even more to know ?
Wol Euler: heheh, true
Agatha Macbeth: Yes Mick, absolutely
Calvino Rabeni: Yes even true about just one thing
Calvino Rabeni: not about "it all"
oO0Oo Resident: how do you know that?
oO0Oo Resident: ;)
Mickorod Renard: :))
Agatha Macbeth: Send for the philosophers
Mickorod Renard: I was thinking about it in relation to play as being..in a literal sort of way
Agatha Macbeth: There are more questions than answers?
Zon Kwan: more please
oO0Oo Resident listens
Mickorod Renard: well..f one wishes say to get to act like being,,or a God,,i think it would always elude you
Zon Kwan: there is an answer to any question
Mickorod Renard: not quite act..but you know what I mean,,or dont know
Zon Kwan: how so ?
Mickorod Renard: I think its like a cone
Zon Kwan: what eludes you ?
Agatha Macbeth: Ice cream?
Mickorod Renard: ever increasing
Agatha Macbeth: Inverted cone then
Wol Euler: or the event horizon concept in Steven Hawking's description of time and space?
Mickorod Renard: yes perhaps
Agatha Macbeth: Black holes
Mickorod Renard: I like to see them as black balls now
Agatha Macbeth ponders black balls
Wol Euler: perhaps one might behave in a godlike way, without needing or even wanting to become godlike?
Wol Euler: "fake it until you make it" :)
Zon Kwan: does god ask questions ?
Agatha Macbeth: If s/he does, nobody seems to answer them
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Boxy
Alfred Kelberry: hi :)
Alfred Kelberry: mick! long time no see :)
FcSeeker Resident: hi alf
Mickorod Renard: I was thinking in a more like,,if one was to try and be as perfect as posible,,then also that becomes elusive
Alfred Kelberry: wb :)
Agatha Macbeth: Return of the Mick
Mickorod Renard: Hi Alfie
Mickorod Renard: :)))
Wol Euler: god's questions might be posed in a form taht we misunderstand: a stroke of good fortune, a piece of bad news, a rainbow on a thursday
Calvino Rabeni: there's this word I've been hearing ... "simplexity" ... maybe it refers to the sense that complexity eventually circles around into a greater unity?
Mickorod Renard: I dont know if he would ask questions,,I mean whats the point
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: to make us think, mick :)
Wol Euler: perhaps god's questions are a chisel to break a crack into our stony skulls "to let the light in"
Mickorod Renard: thats u asking i think Wol
Zon Kwan: trying to be perfect must be elusive
Alfred Kelberry: mick, agreed :)
Mickorod Renard: Cal,,whats this simplexity again?
Mickorod Renard: not U but us sorry
Wol Euler smiles.
Mickorod Renard: I seem to have a sticky keyboard
Agatha Macbeth: !!!
Wol Euler chuckles.
Mickorod Renard: he he
Zon Kwan: why try to be perfect. is that the way we should play
Agatha Macbeth: What were you up to while you were away?
Mickorod Renard: I think I am talking myself into a corner
Zon Kwan: lol
Agatha Macbeth: Sure thing Mr Sticky :p
Wol Euler: :)
Alfred Kelberry: *pats mick's bald head* :)
Agatha Macbeth shines and polishes it
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Wol Euler laughs.
Wol Euler: for the record: boxy's nose: Wol Euler licks boxy's nose
Agatha Macbeth: Nose licker!
Mickorod Renard: I dont think there is a need to be perfect,,but understanding either God or maybe even other spiritual routes ultimately leads us to a disirefor some more perfect behavior
Wol Euler: well we all have our little hobbies
Agatha Macbeth: True
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Zon Kwan: desire to undrestand ..yes
Zon Kwan: or undress
Mickorod Renard: and yet, when one looks and discovers things then ones own ignorance is more apparent,,
Alfred Kelberry: yes, i think virtually any religion has a game built-in and you gain or lose points as you go on
Mickorod Renard: maybe ignorance is too strong
--BELL--
Zon Kwan: i heard someone said that enlightened being is one who knows he/she cannot ever know
Alfred Kelberry: hmm
Mickorod Renard: I ponder over words like omnipotent (or spelt similar) and was thinking,,even the worlds greatest spiritual scholar must never understand completely as this is the way it is,,thus omnipotent
Agatha Macbeth: That's a smart being certainly
Mickorod Renard: although I havnt looked up in the dictionary what that word means...yet
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe omnipotence is in the eye of the beholder?
Alfred Kelberry: understand what? the scriptures?
Zon Kwan: so why not just enjoy our beingness
Mickorod Renard: that sound a lil ,,erm,,,paradoxical
Zon Kwan: life is...
Agatha Macbeth: Eek a paradox!
Alfred Kelberry: wuff!
Wol Euler: is a paradox a second opinion?
Agatha Macbeth: 'May I have a paradox doctor?'
Calvino Rabeni: Life is like a bowl of spaghetti .. oh no actually that's my lunch!
Wol Euler giggles.
Mickorod Renard: he he
oO0Oo Resident: lol
Calvino Rabeni: And it seems to need my full attention, else it misbehaves
Zon Kwan: lise is paradox..it would be logical to have only day..but look..night and day...thats paradoxical
Zon Kwan: life
Mickorod Renard: so Cal,,what is that simplexity?
Calvino Rabeni: Take care everyone
Calvino Rabeni: Dunno Mick, it's complcated at first, gets simpler later
Mickorod Renard: ahh,,he doesnt have an answer..:))
Agatha Macbeth: Bye Cal, be careful out there
Wol Euler: hello santo
Calvino Rabeni: Bye for now, thanks

FcSeeker Resident: waves to Cal
oO0Oo Resident: Bye Cal
FcSeeker Resident: Hello san
Santoshima Resident: hello Fc
Santoshima Resident: and everyone
Mickorod Renard: Hi san..
Santoshima Resident: :)
Alfred Kelberry: it is rather a paradox to me how we came about from the dust of stars
Alfred Kelberry: san :)
Agatha Macbeth: Ashes to ashes dust to dust
FcSeeker Resident: did we ?
Mickorod Renard: well,,I like the idea that that must make us all related,,like bro's and sis's
Agatha Macbeth: Fun to funky
Zon Kwan: but in the middle..
Zon Kwan: is the fun part
Wol Euler: thank you, aggers, I was trying to remember taht :)

Blissful Badger: Thanks Wol :-)
Agatha Macbeth: Hello again Bliss
Agatha Macbeth: LTNS
Alfred Kelberry: um, question... do you agree with thomas hobbes claim that humans are naturally evil and require strong authority in order to stay civil?
Mickorod Renard: any clues?
Wol Euler: connection speed matters more than the speed of the computer itself, mick :)
Blissful Badger: hiya
Wol Euler: grey means that the laptop isn't connecting well
Alfred Kelberry: bliss :)
Blissful Badger: Boxy - I'm going to check out my note card.
Mickorod Renard: ohh,,thanks Wol
Agatha Macbeth: I agree with Calvin and Hobbes
Wol Euler raises an eyebrow.
Blissful Badger: I mean aph's notecard

Agatha Macbeth sticks a bone in Boxy's mouth
Alfred Kelberry: luci :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hi Luci

Alfred Kelberry: um, i think susan is trapped in sl
Lucinda Lavender: :)luci watches out for dolphins and orca whales,etc:)
Mickorod Renard: I often go and have cup of tea and piece of cake at Badger hall
Korel Laloix: Evil is the lack of chocolate.
Agatha Macbeth: Poor dear
Zon Kwan: is it evil to brake rules
Mickorod Renard: what are rules?
Alfred Kelberry: zon's question is a paradox :)
Korel Laloix: Only if you break them in an unchocolatly way.
Zon Kwan: ah..but not if on purpose
Agatha Macbeth ponders unchocolatly
Alfred Kelberry: kori :)
Mickorod Renard: When I often mull over spirit and soul,,,I think of the element of evil
Mickorod Renard: but maybe evil is a strong word
Zon Kwan: mm
Zon Kwan: evil is relative
Alfred Kelberry: in other words, evil is the lack of goodness (e.g. chocolate) :)
Agatha Macbeth: It's a very strong word as far as I'm concerned :p
Zon Kwan: evil is goodness in wrong place or time
Alfred Kelberry: heh
Mickorod Renard: is the soul the altered spirit after its tainted by evil?
Lucinda Lavender: Luci sends best wishes to all...and returns to retreat for the moment. All is well here, rainy, and peaceful.bye for now all...:)
Mickorod Renard: Hi Luci

Alfred Kelberry: so, let's go have a visit?
Korel Laloix: Sure.
Agatha Macbeth: Could do
Alfred Kelberry: ok, off we go!
Agatha Macbeth: Bye Susan :)
As it turned out, Susan's presence meant the recorder didn't stop when we all left, I therefore had to return later and push her out of range of the Listener!
