Eos Amaterasu: we just had Easter
Wol Euler: indeed, fifty days ago :)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Yes, that and Xmas
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): And they are so commercialised
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): very sad

Rosatta: That is cool : )
Eos Amaterasu: /me feels sun vibes
Sunshine (szavanna): ❤
Sunshine (szavanna): hi pablings :)
Rosatta: Hi, Sunshine : )
Second Life: Xirana is online.
Wol Euler: I wouldn't care to guess which percentage of thepopulation actually attends a religious service in connection, but it would be small
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Oh Sunny you are bald?
Wol Euler: hello sun
Sunshine (szavanna): aww look at that cute thing
Sunshine (szavanna): °͜°
Aggers (agatha.macbeth) looks at Wol

Second Life: Sunshine is offline.
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Aww
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): me either
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): What's that illness that makes your hair fall out?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): starts with A
Eos Amaterasu: chemo
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Hm
Wol Euler: apathy?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Something like alopetia
Eos Amaterasu: distress?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Duncan Goodhew had it
Wol Euler: alopecia
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Yes
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): TY
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Woolie is so smart
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): and Wollie too
Wol Euler: from the classical Greek "alopex" meaning "fox" apparently
Wol Euler: greek foxes are bald.
Aggers (agatha.macbeth) ponders the connection
Second Life: Sunshine is online.
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Seem to be many fox synchronicities lately
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): WB Sun
Eos Amaterasu: foxiness?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Yay Sunhair
Eos Amaterasu: gone yesterday, hair today
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Indeed
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): welcome back Sun!:)
Sunshine (szavanna): lol
Sunshine (szavanna): Eosji ;p
Aggers (agatha.macbeth) waits for Sunny to get settled
Eos Amaterasu wonders why Greek foxes are bald
Sunshine (szavanna): lol
Eos Amaterasu: what about Hungarian foxen?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): What is fox in hungarian?
Sunshine (szavanna): roka

Aggers (agatha.macbeth): So shall we begin?
Eos Amaterasu: Oremus
Sunshine (szavanna): yes ready :) with hair and all
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Bless you
Sunshine (szavanna): :)
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): foxes losed hair because of 'mange' :) Any of several chronic skin diseases of mammals caused by parasitic mites and characterized by skin lesions, itching, and loss of hair. (The free Dictionary)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Aph babe :)
Aphrodite Macbain: hi
Eos Amaterasu: Hi APh
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): How are things?
Aphrodite Macbain: things are fine. rubs sleep from her eyes
Aphrodite Macbain: thanks
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Aww *hug*
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hello Aph! :)
Aphrodite Macbain: nice coat aggers
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): So dears do we have any pressing business?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): TY
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Anything troubling us?
Sunshine (szavanna): none that I remember
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): So PaB is doing jim dandy then? ;-)
Aphrodite Macbain: a bit of a sore throat
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): That is good to hear
Sunshine (szavanna): Aph ♥
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Aww *hugs again*
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Eos Amaterasu: (noticing a lot of empty session, tho, btw....)
Sunshine (szavanna) checks Aph's temp
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Yes, I noticed too
Rosatta: I am so sorry I missed mine this week
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): NP Rosie
Sunshine (szavanna): empty sessions on the wiki?
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
Sunshine (szavanna): or people are not attending?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): There seems to be a lot of red print on the page yes
Eos Amaterasu: maybe summertime in no hemisphere
Sunshine (szavanna): ah ok
Rosatta: I have decided to make every 1 pm session I can until I get neural connections that have something going on at that time, then I can narrow it down to Wednesdays
Sunshine (szavanna): I did post mine hmm but didn't really do a good job hmm
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Probably the majority are empty
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Don't be silly Sun
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): You do well
Sunshine (szavanna): why not
Rosatta: I think I forgot to put the date on the last one I posted
Sunshine (szavanna): ;o)
Aphrodite Macbain ponders neural connections at 1pm
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Well no more than usual ♥
Sunshine (szavanna): ah ok °͜°
Eos Amaterasu: neural connections ponder
Sunshine (szavanna): ponddd pondddd
Eos Amaterasu: rub sleep from dendrites
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Is it still the 1AMs which are the main issue I wonder
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: what is the average attendance then?
Sunshine (szavanna): 1ams are really quiet
Wol Euler: it is a tricky time, middle of the night for the US and middle of the morning for Europe
Aggers (agatha.macbeth) nods
Sunshine (szavanna): yes
Sunshine (szavanna): is it necessary to have those hmm
Sunshine (szavanna): the other times are much better
Sunshine (szavanna): brb
Eos Amaterasu: Maybe just leave a steaming latté there
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Yes, always helps ;)
Aphrodite Macbain: I have one at my right hand right now.
Aphrodite Macbain: It's definitley helping
Eos Amaterasu: sleep rubbing ingredients
Sunshine (szavanna): back
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): i think the last time we suggested dropping the 1AMs nobody was really in favour
Sunshine (szavanna): ah ok
Eos Amaterasu: I think it's okay to have empty sessions
Eos Amaterasu: with or without people :-)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): I would tend to agree E
Sunshine (szavanna): but but if noone gives out cookies
Sunshine (szavanna): :)
Aphrodite Macbain: yes- they are there the rest of the time!
Eos Amaterasu: noone will be hungry
Aphrodite Macbain: leave a cookie jar
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Hm, how many sessions have no regular GoC now?
Sunshine (szavanna): :)
Eos Amaterasu: but true, leave a cookie jar there as well
Rosatta: Having the sessions every 6 hours makes it easy to remember when they are scheduled, but I am wondering if it might serve our European members better if the 1 am was shifted to a better time for that area?
Sunshine (szavanna): yes cookie jar good idea
Sunshine (szavanna): hehe
Eos Amaterasu: PaB fortune cookies
Eos Amaterasu: APAPB
Aphrodite Macbain: or chocollate- that always works
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Think I need Pema here for APAB...#
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): I don't think anything much arose out the WG meeting?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): We still seem to be in post-party mode
Aphrodite Macbain: who attends the 1AM?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Well Wol currently does 3 I think
Wol Euler: I do on Friday to sunday
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): or continuous party mode:) with Sun and Zen's dancing sessions:)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): :)
Wol Euler: hana is often there on the weekend, qt, aggers
Aphrodite Macbain: who comes to these sessions Wol?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Yes, I was here this morning, and most sundays
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): I don't know about other days
Wol Euler: I could find out, I have access to Storm's attendance logs
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Do all the 1AMs currently have GoCs I wonder
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): will check that
Aphrodite Macbain: It might be interesting to ask those who attend and see if there is a better time
Wol Euler: you do know that the signboard at the Playgoda shows all the gocs for al the sessions?
Wol Euler: just above where it also shows the week's theme :)
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: Does it lie?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Yes, and the wiki too of course
Wol Euler: perhaps
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): yes :-) Thanks Wol :)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): But is it up to date?
Wol Euler: I don't know how to answer that question
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Tick any box :p
Wol Euler: I believe that it is up-to-date with what I believe to be the correct answer
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): I'll check both
Wol Euler: but if somebody has stopped taking their session without bothering to tell anyone about it, well ...
Aphrodite Macbain: It might be interesting to ask those who attend the 1AM and see if there is a better time
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Maybe
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): It's a round world problem
Aphrodite Macbain: There has been some changing around. the 1pm sunday session is open again
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I see most sessions are hosted by Wol ... during the weekend
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): 1AMs yes
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): So, on to topics...
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Anyone have any suggestions?
Silencio
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): One at a time please :p
Eos Amaterasu: "freshness"
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): :)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Good one E
Wol Euler nods.
Aphrodite Macbain splashes water on her face
Sunshine (szavanna): :)
Second Life: Korel Laloix is online.
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): So freshness for next week then...
Sunshine (szavanna): puts on a real wiggly african song
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): And the week after?
Rosatta: Is Being animated or static?
Sunshine (szavanna): nice
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): It's certainly not static when Sun and Zen are around :))
Sunshine (szavanna): :)
Aphrodite Macbain: synapses everywhere
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): /me checks her head
Aphrodite Macbain: static, animated or wiggly
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Or all three?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): State of being perhaps
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
Eos Amaterasu: gas, liquid, or solid? triple point?
Rosatta: Or plural - states of being?
Wol Euler: sweet or salty?
Aphrodite Macbain: Does the state of being have a constitution
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Rich man poor man
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): I know the US has a constitution, not sure about Being...
Aphrodite Macbain: I have a healthy one
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Glad to hear it my dear
Sunshine (szavanna): I read this on the Jeff Foster FB page :
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): :)
Sunshine (szavanna): So, there is some misunderstanding over what 'the moment' is.
We have been taught to think of 'the moment' as a small slither of time, sandwiched between the twin vastnesses of past and future, but that is not quite right. Instead of calling it 'the moment' let's call it 'the movement', the real-time movement of life, the present movement of thought, sensation, feeling, sounds, smells, images, memory and dreams.
Aphrodite Macbain: I love it Sunji
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Hm, who is Jeff Foster?
Sunshine (szavanna): Jeff Foster studied Astrophysics at Cambridge University. In his mid-twenties, after a long period of depression and illness, he became addicted to the idea of ‘spiritual enlightenment’ and embarked on an intensive spiritual quest for the ultimate truth of existence.
Aphrodite Macbain: ponders slithery time
Rosatta: That was a huge goal
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Ah, he does retreats at Glastonbury :)
Rosatta: Thought I totally understand why he did that
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Sounds good
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): Thank you Sun! I like the quote at the beginning... about not needing to have all the answers :)
Rosatta: Does that
Aphrodite Macbain: sort of what we are doing perhaps
Sunshine (szavanna): :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Thanks Sun
Sunshine (szavanna): yes its tiring to keep have to answer things °͜°
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Sunny Sun Sun
Rosatta: Something I became aware of years ago is that it is not possible to really know reality because we are 3D beings living/existing in a multiple dimensional 'place'
Sunshine (szavanna): ;o)
Aphrodite Macbain: nods at Rosatta
Rosatta: Outside of 3D all our references such as up, down, etc. lose all relevance
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): As in space
Rosatta: A lot of old science fiction tried to visualize what a 4th dimension would be and just made unusual versions of a 3D world
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Isn't time supposed to be the 4th dimension?
Rosatta: Other than an emotional awareness of something outside 3D, I don't think humans are able to go beyond it
Rosatta: just my opinion, of course
Aphrodite Macbain: yes time can be the 4th dimension
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): This is where I miss Gilles <grins>
Aphrodite Macbain: or, some call it space/time
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Dot line square cube
Rosatta: Well, someone said that gravity may be the 4th dimension - which scrambles my brains
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Erk
Aphrodite Macbain: that is a force
Aphrodite Macbain: not a dimension
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): May the force be with you
Sunshine (szavanna): "the protagonist visits a one-dimensional universe called Lineland, where women are dots and men are lines."
Aphrodite Macbain: My coffee is my force!
Sunshine (szavanna): :)
Rosatta: that was the one I was looking for
Rosatta: Flatland: A romance in many dimensions
Rosatta: It is very thought provoking
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): So the topics for next two weeks are:
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): 1) Freshness
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): 2) Is PaB static or fluid?
Rosatta: It explores the idea of how a being in a lower/smaller dimension cannot comprehend the reality of a being in a higher/larger dimension
Aphrodite Macbain: freshness as it applies to reality?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Yes Rosie, interesting question
Eos Amaterasu: no holds barred
Wol Euler smiles.
Sunshine (szavanna): very interesting Rosatta :)
Aphrodite Macbain: so much to read, so little space/time
Rosatta: Cool link, Eos - thanks : )
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): This is true
Aphrodite Macbain: M theory?
Rosatta: Did we want the question to be PAB or Being static or fluid?
Aphrodite Macbain: Being
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Just don't mention string theory :p
Aphrodite Macbain: ok
Eos Amaterasu: back to yr knitting :-)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Yah
Rosatta: I am thinking PaB refers to what is being done here, while Being refers to , well, Being
Sunshine (szavanna): hehe
Aphrodite Macbain: both are very active
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): The play is the difference
Aphrodite Macbain: the play's the thing
Wol Euler respectfully points out that our purpose here is to choose a topic, not to debate and decide the answer to that topic.
Rosatta: Maybe Is play static or fluid?
Aphrodite Macbain: respectfully agrees
Eos Amaterasu: How about just, "static or fluid"?
Eos Amaterasu: (as the question)
Wol Euler: sounds good
Aphrodite Macbain: but what are we describing?
Rosatta: I like that, Eos
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I find interesting to explore more about what 'play' means
Aphrodite Macbain: yes, or being
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): So the second topic is what?
Rosatta: I just don't want the topic to trigger all kinds of changes at PaB lol
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hehe:))
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): I doubt anything could do that
Aphrodite Macbain: oh no! not changes!
Aphrodite Macbain: being: static or fluid?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Ch-ch-ch-changes
Rosatta: I like that, too
Aphrodite Macbain: being: static or fluid?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): So we'll settle on that then
Aphrodite Macbain: I could play with that
Eos Amaterasu: Parmenides vs Heraclitus
Rosatta: Well, the basic format of PaB is excellent, and those of you who have been here for awhile have added some delightful options
Aphrodite Macbain: looks at Eos and wonders
Rosatta: I like that way that is being done - the foundation the Pavilion sessions with all the other options
Rosatta: There's a one minute video on YouTube for Parmenides vs Heraclitus - sounds like something I can handel :-D
Aphrodite Macbain: we are never without a topic of conversation
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Sounds like a football match
Rosatta: *handle
Aphrodite Macbain: sounds like a drug war
Aphrodite Macbain: Metaphysics, determinism, fatalism, and the unreality of free will.
Sunshine (szavanna): ah fun site Eos
Aphrodite Macbain: Thanks Eos
Eos Amaterasu: especially, "how do you recognize a penguin in a crowd?"
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Shout his name?
Aphrodite Macbain: by its call
Aphrodite Macbain: but only mothers can do that
Wol Euler: depends what the crowd is composed of, a penguin in a crowd of crows is relatively easy to spot
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Needs camoflage maybe
Aggers (agatha.macbeth) ponders an undercover penguin
Aphrodite Macbain: the penguin is probably puzzled to find itself among a bunch of crows
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): And wondering where all the fish are
Sunshine (szavanna): anyone wants a baby tux
Sunshine (szavanna): :)
Aphrodite Macbain: I always leave these meetings with a library of links
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Linus?
Sunshine (szavanna): yes hehe just FB-d some of the links
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I think I have it Sunji! Thanks:)
Aphrodite Macbain: Charlie Brown?
Sunshine (szavanna): yes Linus' penguin
Aphrodite Macbain: oh right
Sunshine (szavanna): yes Xiri I think you do ;o)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): You should come as Snoopy again Aph
Aphrodite Macbain: :-) I think I lost his outfit
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Awww no
Aphrodite Macbain: :-(
Sunshine (szavanna): aww
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Bummer
Aphrodite Macbain: The size of my inventory is a handicap
Sunshine (szavanna): must go all - have a wonderful week :)
Rosatta: Inventories get out fo control so easely
Aphrodite Macbain: Byee sunji
Eos Amaterasu: ciao all, thanks.
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Bye Sunny, dance well
Sunshine (szavanna): may it be fresh and happy :)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Bye E
Sunshine (szavanna): hehe who me?
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Wol Euler: bye eos, run well :)
Aphrodite Macbain: sorry I can never come to your Friday events
Sunshine (szavanna): ❤
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I also go...have a nice Sunday all...see you soon! :-)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Meeting over then
Sunshine (szavanna): we will arrange other times
Wol Euler: bye sun, bye rosatta, bye xir
Aggers (agatha.macbeth) waves
Sunshine (szavanna): when is a good time Aph
Rosatta: Bye, dear one
Wol Euler: bye aggers, bye aph, bye me!
Aphrodite Macbain: thanks!
Wol Euler: enjoy the day
OK, so topics for the next two weeks are:
1) Freshness
2) Being: fluid or static?
PS A quick check revealed that there is currently no GoC at 1AM on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday.
