Bleu Oleander: on compassion
Bleu Oleander: it will be a conversation with him
Bleu Oleander: he researches neuropsychology and psycholology of emotion
Eliza Madrigal: seeing subject of empathy... considered an emotional response?
Bleu Oleander: we have discussed compassion here often and I think it will be a good discussion
Eos Amaterasu: are you asking if empathy is an emotional response, Eliza?
Eliza Madrigal: yes, asking if that is the view of the author.
Bleu Oleander: is Empathy an emotion?
Eliza Madrigal: one wonders
Eliza Madrigal: <-- one
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eos Amaterasu: seems like it could be present through any emotion
Bleu Oleander: say more Eos?
Eliza Madrigal: that's interesting
Eos Amaterasu: it's somewhat more where you're coming from - not just the usual "me" - and that can be colored in all kinds of ways
Eliza Madrigal: gets through or doesn't, in spite of the emotional colorings?
oO0Oo Resident: abides with.. resonates
Eos Amaterasu: also the other's living gets through the source of my living

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu: has anyone here done 10,000 9-seconds? :-)
stevenaia Michinaga: (no) My Tai Chi teacher says after you practice 10,ooo times you are no longer a beginner
Eos Amaterasu: there's always 10,001
Eliza Madrigal: :) working on 10,000 - 55 breaths practice... wonder how it all weaves together... think of all the times I start over
Eliza Madrigal: or maybe at that point 'ready to begin' stevie :)
Bleu Oleander imagines a 9-second pedometer-type devise?
Eliza Madrigal: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: what is "55 breaths practice"
Eliza Madrigal: could be built into watch
Bleu Oleander: :)
Eliza Madrigal: a kind of invention of my own I think, influenced by other practices but lighter
Eos Amaterasu: hi storm
Eliza Madrigal: am into second year and don't really have to think about it anymore... just at some point it comes up... 9 seconds like that at times as well
Bleu Oleander: hi Storm
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Storm :)
stevenaia Michinaga: am happy to fit 25 breaths into my meditation, to extend I breathe shower
Storm Nordwind: Hello all. Sorry late. Busy.
stevenaia Michinaga: waveas to Storm
Eliza Madrigal: :)
oO0Oo Resident: Hi Storm

The seeds of a little group riff start emerging here...

Eos Amaterasu: we're always occupying 9 seconds, but sometimes we make it special
Eos Amaterasu: like waving the two fingers on each hand to indicate quotes
Eliza Madrigal: haha
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Bleu Oleander: singling them out as special when in reality all the 9 seconds are special and not special at the same time
Eos Amaterasu: extra-ordinary
Bleu Oleander: :)
Eos Amaterasu: (like Olive Oil)
Bleu Oleander remembers a delishous olive oil gelato :)
stevenaia Michinaga: extra virgin PaB, I think we can market that
Eos Amaterasu: !
Bleu Oleander: delicious :)
Storm Nordwind thinks of something rude to say and doesn't say it ;)
Bleu Oleander: rude?
Eliza Madrigal: ah the teacher on the site you gave teaches a class called Delicious Movement
Storm Nordwind: UK English rude = smutty :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bleu Oleander: oh :)
Eos Amaterasu: that's like plus que parfait
Eliza Madrigal: such restraint we learn here :)
Bleu Oleander: :)
Eos Amaterasu: 9 seconds as extra virgin reality
Eos Amaterasu: (marketing angles.....)
Eliza Madrigal rolling eyes
Storm Nordwind: cold pressed and bottled in recyclable...
Eos Amaterasu: as fresh as it gets
Bleu Oleander: oily vey
Eos Amaterasu: unmanufactured
Eos Amaterasu: uncontrived
Storm Nordwind: The way it's always been
Eos Amaterasu: same as it ever was
Eos Amaterasu: and the amazing thing is that's where empathy comes from
Storm Nordwind: You can do anything with your 9 seconds. Is it possible to waste it?

--BELL--

stevenaia Michinaga: seems the less you do with it.. especially nothing, the more you gain, so never wasted, unless you ignore it
Eliza Madrigal: reminds me of something Pema said on retreat once...
Eliza Madrigal: that at any moment one can stop, step out, and everything was already preparation… reminds me of his comments last night regarding it being surprisingly easy and instant to 'drop'
Bleu Oleander: it's all life so never wasted?
Eliza Madrigal: nods
Storm Nordwind: "Start at the end, and never look back!"
Eos Amaterasu: there is a sense of resolve... energy to do something 10,000 times... how I walk through the 10,000 quoted times
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bleu Oleander: 10,000 breaths = about 13 hours of relaxed breathing
Bleu Oleander: not sure why I tried to figure that out :)
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eos Amaterasu: (resolve :-)
Bleu Oleander: mind works in strange ways :)
Eliza Madrigal: mysterious motions
Bleu Oleander: 10,000 motions
Bleu Oleander: yet another way to interpret motion

stevenaia Michinaga: bed time,night my friends
