Tess Aristocrat: Hi :)
--BELL--
Lucinda Lavender: hi sam
Pema Pera: hi everybody!
Lucinda Lavender: HI Pema
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Lucinda Lavender: HI San
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Lucinda Lavender: brb...
Santoshima Resident: Hi Luci,Tess, Pema, Sam
Pema Pera: I've been wondering whether it would be fun to write children's stories about "Playing as Being" . . . .
Pema Pera: also aimed at adults, like Alice in Wonderland, etc
Pema Pera: or the little prince
oO0Oo Resident: That sounds both playful and fun
Pema Pera: the main character falling through trapdoors into other ways of experiencing the reality around her
oO0Oo Resident: :)
Pema Pera: like 9-sec escape mechanisms in space and time
Lucinda Lavender: nods
Pema Pera: perhaps we can come up with a sketch right here?
Pema Pera: "dream one up"?
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Pema Pera said, inspired by Luci's presence
Lucinda Lavender: :)
oO0Oo Resident: at first she thought it might be a cult, but then ended up seeing her own mind
Pema Pera: hahaha
Lucinda Lavender: thinkling about the trip I was just on in Tess's landscape...a canoe trip though mountains and such
Pema Pera: and then she realized that the grownup society is one big cult . . . .
Pema Pera: a magic canoe . . .
oO0Oo Resident: :)
Lucinda Lavender: :))
Pema Pera: running the rapids of space and time
Lucinda Lavender: going under over around and through
Pema Pera: from the canoe you can see the same situation simultaneously from many angles
Lucinda Lavender: breathing as she goes
Tess Aristocrat: :)
Lucinda Lavender: looking both out to sea and inland
Pema Pera: most stories involve a spell started by clicking your heals or clapping your hands -- here it starts by just being still for nine seconds . . . .
Tess Aristocrat: steering into a cool cave
Pema Pera: and finding that it opens up into another world
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Pema Pera: and finding oneself transformed, too, in the other world
Pema Pera: traveling in selves as well as worlds
Tess Aristocrat: yes
Pema Pera: making friends with one's selves
Lucinda Lavender: floating lightly along
Pema Pera: like with avatars in SL
oO0Oo Resident:

     Come ride with us in the magic canoe,
     eventually we will drop that too

     But, for now different angles to see.
     Breathing and letting things be.

     Watching our paddle, and choosing a shore.
     Oh my, Dorothy. We're not in Kansas.. anymore.

Pema Pera: clap clap clap !!!!
Lucinda Lavender: :))
Lucinda Lavender: hooray!
oO0Oo Resident: :)
Tess Aristocrat: :D
Pema Pera looking for flying monkeys
Lucinda Lavender: and the guy behind the curtian
Pema Pera: oh yes, a central character
Lucinda Lavender: fools us all
Pema Pera: including himself
Lucinda Lavender: but not in the end
oO0Oo Resident: central.. but multiple
Pema Pera: yes
Lucinda Lavender: so fun to explor together
Pema Pera nods!
Lucinda Lavender: build our landscapes
Pema Pera: the character behind curtains made of space and time . . . .
Lucinda Lavender: ah...
Pema Pera: each curtain opens on a new space
Pema Pera: with a new rhythm of time
Pema Pera: as an invitation to get familiar with a larger Space allowing all particular spaces
Pema Pera: the way each space allows the presence of its objects
Tess Aristocrat: yes, so crack the coconut and slice the lime :)
Pema Pera: :-)
Pema Pera: finer and finer and finer
Pema Pera: until a diamantine time dust is all that is left
Tess Aristocrat: Closer to fine :)
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Pema Pera: refining time . . . .
--BELL--
Pema Pera: and so the main character discovered that space is full of holes . . . . letting time shine through in various ways
Pema Pera: but when she came back to Kansas, she had a tough time explaining what she had experienced
Pema Pera: because people kept asking about "things"
Pema Pera: and she only could talk about space and time . . . .
Lucinda Lavender: Luci is wondering what we find dropping down the first hole....an experience...rather than things
Pema Pera: yes, dropping things is what the first dropping may be all about . . . .
Pema Pera: including that odd thing called self/ego
Lucinda Lavender: being together with space and time
Pema Pera: and then beginning to see in startling glimpses that this may even imply . . .
Pema Pera: being space and time
Lucinda Lavender: perhaps there could be something about placement as she lands at a first place...
Pema Pera: yes, placement and presence
oO0Oo Resident: a mirror?
Pema Pera: nice!
oO0Oo Resident:

     space time
     sdɐɔǝ ʇıɯǝ

Pema Pera: hahaha
Pema Pera: Sam the magician
oO0Oo Resident: ǝɔıdıɔǝɹd ˙˙sbuıɥʇ ˙˙spɹoʍ
Pema Pera: tumbling down those precipes in time . . . .
--BELL--
Pema Pera like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland is looking at his watch . . . and realizing that once again he has to catch a train (from Kyoto to Tokyo this time) . . . . reluctantly gets up and out . . . .
Lucinda Lavender: happy travels Pema:)
oO0Oo Resident: bullet canoe :)
Multiverse1 Resident: watch the clock, Pema
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Tess Aristocrat: bye Pema
Pema Pera: thank you, all
Pema Pera: hahaha
oO0Oo Resident: :) be well
Pema Pera: through many tunnels of time . . . .
Pema Pera: bfn
Lucinda Lavender: bfn
Tess Aristocrat: like sands in the hourglass..
Multiverse1 Resident: each a small pebble
Multiverse1 Resident: only to turn it over and begin again
Tess Aristocrat: beginning anew
oO0Oo Resident: funny thought of us as grains in an hourglass, and mingling and flowing.. settling.. then when the glass is turned.. that is reincarnation ;)
Lucinda Lavender: ah ha
Multiverse1 Resident: an endless cycle
Tess Aristocrat: and what are your thoughts on reincarnation?
oO0Oo Resident: not something i have thought too much about, and can't remember having alot of experience with it... [personally]
Multiverse1 Resident: why do you call this reincarnation, is this not carnation.
Multiverse1 Resident: or incarnation
oO0Oo Resident: that smells nice
Tess Aristocrat: well, tarnation..
Multiverse1 Resident: one life has many cycles
oO0Oo Resident: lots of cycles
Tess Aristocrat: and epiphanys
oO0Oo Resident: colours and dreams
Multiverse1 Resident: do we then break it down into years, or lives?
Lucinda Lavender: Luci thinks of timelines...that kind ov overlap
Multiverse1 Resident: white and black
Tess Aristocrat: years..
Multiverse1 Resident: all and no colors
Tess Aristocrat: lots of color
Lucinda Lavender: one for the body...
Multiverse1 Resident: yes, everything inbetween
Multiverse1 Resident: and lavender is but many of one
Tess Aristocrat: lots of knowing and lots more unknowing
Multiverse1 Resident: This day for me, I have pondered "unenlightenment"
Tess Aristocrat: lots of wonderment
oO0Oo Resident: analog waterfall of uniqueness
Lucinda Lavender: can you say more multi
Multiverse1 Resident: and once enlightenment were achieved, what would be next
Multiverse1 Resident: just like turning the hourglass
oO0Oo Resident: wait for the gods to ask you to turn the wheel?
oO0Oo Resident: deliberate a while
oO0Oo Resident: decide if you will teach?
Tess Aristocrat: perhaps there wouldn't be a need to wonder what would be next
Multiverse1 Resident: to live your tyme in reverse, or as Samuo wrote, uopside down
Tess Aristocrat: only what is now
Multiverse1 Resident: no, we would wonder
oO0Oo Resident: interesting Tess
Multiverse1 Resident: what would be the next now
Lucinda Lavender: must move to the next activity in rl:)

Tess Aristocrat: Sam, I wanted to give you a notecard about the Winter Feast
Multiverse1 Resident: Multi is contemplating the substance of his pillow
oO0Oo Resident: Multi, would you like a note card with the beginning part of the session?
oO0Oo Resident: OK thanks Tess
Multiverse1 Resident: why not
oO0Oo Resident: k.. sec..
Multiverse1 Resident: sounds like it was about alice or dorothy
