The Guardian for this meeting was Eden Haiku. The comments are by Eden Haiku.
Eden Haiku: It's 1:07 am. I guess Wol isn't coming...Reading Eliza's new notecard about PaB
I see sessions are now auto-recorded. I woke up a bit before 4 am ( after a festive week my sleep patterns are well... different:) and and I thought I might as well pop in to wish happy New Year to Play as Being playful beings, wishing them a great year of explorations into the nature of reality.
--BELL--
Eden Haiku: Ah, checking the new notecard I see it's now simpler: "exploring reality".
I did keep quiet during the 90 seconds. Just checked my sound. Not working. Can't hear the bell. Maybe because I'm wearing skates?
Came here as I was last time I logged in SL, almost a month ago.
Came skating in the dome, met Eliza and a new guardian I forgot her name.
PaB Listener keeps saying the session has not yet been claimed by a guardian.
Should I? Not sure what auto-recorded means... Still thinking about it...
Think I heard my Dad downstairs.
He's not doing too well. 88 years old now.
We are exploring the reality of letting go as he is facing the possibility of his death.
Just claimed the session, after being prompted again to do so by PaB Listener Master. Oh Wol, what a funny name!
Maybe Wol is still in Toronto and still sleeping at 4:31 am.
--BELL--
Eden Haiku: The 90 seconds by oneself is different.... Especially with no bell...
I like the new notecard, it's very well-written.
I had a great time here, met wonderful people.
Then things changed and I couldn't spend as much time here. I still love the pavilion, the quietness, the 15 minutes reminders of being. Visually, the pavilion used to be quieter though. The board with Guardians on Duty is useful but the mangas are a bit too much now, after more than a year...(no offense meant Sunshine, your mangas are beautiful but it's a bit cloggy visually now)
. I still do typos even if there is no one around. I'm always rushing even when there is absolutely no need to :)
I guess I will correct the typos when I post. I used to correct typos when posting my session.
--BELL--
Eden Haiku: So many thoughts racing in my mind during the 90 seconds...
A "darshan" of my mind as we would say when I lived in an ashram in India.
I had so many hopes about what we could accomplish in PaB.
I always have lots of hope, especially with collective energies. Egregores.
Then, things change.
This is the nature of reality isn't it?
Change is the only permanence. Death is certain.The moment of death is uncertain.
Just had a sip of the crystal elixir we made on December 21st. We were more than 300 Lightworkers gathered together to mark the passageway to the New World. Thousands of people were gathering with the same purpose everywhere in the world.
Let me read PaB sessions for that day. I guess playful beings gathered a few times that day:)
--BELL--
Eden Haiku: I connected with PaB's egregore when the red ring lighted up. Closed my eyes and felt your invisible souls, in sleep or astral-travels, in waking activities, back at work and so on.
It wasn't as distinct as it used to be, as I lost touch with PaB for more than a year now. Still writing my novel about Time. Getting there:)
Reorganizing the fractals with a new software: Scrivener. Useful tool.
Ok, back to reading PaB archives of December 21st
Clicking on "recent changes" tab first, I see there will be a new 99 days project starting on January 15th 2013. How cool! I love the 99 days projects! I'm pretty sure I will participate. With haikus so I can keep a balance. That's my orientation for 2013: balance.
I'm on my way to balance. I know, I know, waking up at 4 am and going into a virtual reality world to wish a happy New Year to virtual friends and keeping talking to myself despite the fact no one is showing up is not exactly balanced buy hey, that's a starting point isn'it?
--BELL--
Eden Haiku: Another 90 seconds. Been here an hour now. Not asleep anymore.
No session at 1am. At 7 am, Lucinda's session Lila Darkmatter (as sweet as Eliza;) showed up with an amazing dream about an owl with large eyes transforming into some small animal, like a seal. They talk a bit about the solstice (Eliza's son telling her it was around noon that that world was coming to an end.)
Lucinda is hosting a little pizza party around a solstice fire and hoping it won't rain too much.
--BELL--
Eden Haiku: Fast-reading Yakuzza's session at 1pm, it seems there are quite a few people: Zen, Bruce, Qt someone called Catrinamonblue. They seem to be...
Stopped for the bell, staring at the screen, realizing I'm feeling sleepy and should go to sleep. I will but I want to finish this first:) They seem to be on "topic" at Yaku's session. Think I saw it in email threads: language seems to be the week's topic. They talk about language and death, fear of death. An allusion to the apocalypse. At 7pm session, the topic is stated: "how language influences imagination"
.druth is hosting. Catrinamonblue shows up at this session too, as well as Santoshima and someone called ContreCourant who asks; " where IS everyone " and answers himself/herself after the bell: " they must be hiding out to avoid the end of the world".
Hehe. A playful being indeed :) Conversation then goes to feeling blue, dancing and so on. Catrinamonblue might like to try Biodanza. In many towns all over the world. No self-consciousness involved in dancing there. Joined a weekly group of Biodanza in Montreal last October. It's wonderful.
Well, I guess I missed my Biodanza's egregore (it's on Thursday nights, satrting again next week after the holidays). Maybe that why I came here today. I don't know.
--BELL--
Eden Haiku: I find quite fascinating that even though the solstice subject popped in briefly in each of December 21st session (except in the no-session of 1 am) , no one mentioned that there were thousands of people, millions in fact, gathering that day.
Heard it was the most important gathering of human beings since the beginning of this humanity.All aware this was the symbolic gateway to a New World of Peace and Love. Yep, it started with the hippies really:)
Eden Haiku: I have the great privilege of having two crystal children in my family: a 2 months old great-nephew and a year and a half great-niece. They brought so much light in our family gatherings, they were amazing!
Holding the 2 months old I was seeing for the first time, looking at him almost purring, stretching his little arms, smiling to invisible angels, I felt the New World is already there.
Eden Haiku: Wishing you all a sweet sweet gliding, threading lightly stepping into the New World and a very happy New Year 2013.
Going back to sleep for a while. I have to do some grocery-shopping for my Dad today. He doesn't eat much these days, unfortunately. Hope this is only a bout of depression and not some illness. We are going back to see his doctor in a few days. He was very happy to see everyone during the holidays. Yesterday, he seemed a bit better. Taking his blood pressure every day now. It's fine.
Death is certain. The moment of death is uncertain.
He's not afraid he says.
We are still attached to him though. Letting go. Enough now.
By for now dear Playful beings :)
--BELL--
Eden Haiku: Much love and virtual hugs to all of you.
Eden Haiku: Gosh, I stepped into the silence...
Eden Haiku: Sorry bell :)
The notecard is just a little different, and no changes have happened with the recordings - only that if no one claims the note says the session will still be recorded. It did before, just didn't say so. :)
Thinking about your dad. Bleu said recently (paraphrased) that when loved ones die they take with them their memories of us too, drawing attention to interconnection. How fortunate you are to be so near to him.
I'm happy to know you and Lightworkers were gathered... magical. Lila tells me she knows of some lightworker gatherings in SL, and of guided visualizations that take place in crystal geodes in the sky. ^.^ edited 13:30, 5 Jan 2013
