2013.09.24 19:00 - peace associates with non-self

     

    The Guardian for this meeting was Eos Amaterasu. The comments are by Eos Amaterasu.

     

    Eos Amaterasu: Theme: Passion and Reason/Mind and Emotions OR "the things that present obstacles to world peace"
    DR42 Resident: 's current display-name is "Marjorie Chardin".
    Eos Amaterasu: Hi Maude
    DR42 Resident: ηαмαѕтє
    DR42 Resident: I was firing a trebuchet loaded with pumpkins.
    Eos Amaterasu: on a month-long journey?
    DR42 Resident: No, just for the night. It was a SL trebuchet
    Eos Amaterasu: speaking of peace and war
    Eos Amaterasu: 90 second pause up coming: let's observe peace and absence of peace
    DR42 Resident: Nothing like a modern design of a machine invented in the middle ages.

    Eos Amaterasu: Absence of peace was associated with going or wanting to go elsewhere
    DR42 Resident: Peace associates with non-self.
    Eos Amaterasu: How do you experience that?
    DR42 Resident: Part meditation, part practicing the compassion of non-self.
    Eos Amaterasu: Can you say more about those two?
    DR42 Resident: Not sure. It's kind of an undescribable organic concept. When I try to reach out and touch it, it changes.
    Eos Amaterasu: Can you share somehow those two?
    DR42 Resident: not really.
    Eos Amaterasu: Can you find them in someone else?
    DR42 Resident: I am too tired, I need to sleep.
    Eos Amaterasu: hmm, feeling tired too (heading towqrd midnight here)
    DR42 Resident: Only 10:30 here.
    Eos Amaterasu: peace personally, peace locally, peace globally: that seems to be the pattern for realizing it

    Eos Amaterasu: a common place to come to, from wherever and whatever, to share silence together, seems a good recipe
    DR42 Resident: Yes, more like RL meditation.
    Eos Amaterasu: The reason and emotion part of it....
    Eos Amaterasu: reason seems to call for "discernment", as Pope Francis calls it

    DR42 Resident: My PC has decided to start to hang up, like it is going to crash. I need to re-boot.
    Eos Amaterasu: have a safe journey!

    Eos Amaterasu: the way he uses it seems similar to me to what buddhists call "prajna": non-discursive discriminating awareness wisdom
    Eos Amaterasu: a bright clarity that can be cultivated
    Eos Amaterasu: and that cuts through ignorance - which is a big enabler of non-peace
    Eos Amaterasu: the kind of shallowness that Hannah Arendt says is the real nature of evil
    Eos Amaterasu: and that perpetuates "primitive beliefs about reality", or about others
    Eos Amaterasu: a shallowness that shies away from be-ing
    Eos Amaterasu: On the emotion side there's conflicting emotions...should I stay or should I go
    Eos Amaterasu: I suppose one approach to those is to get close to them, to not shy away from them, to really feel them, feel them be and come and go
    Eos Amaterasu: and me be them and come and go
    Eos Amaterasu: and be them and suddenly not be them
    Eos Amaterasu: merciful to self
    Eos Amaterasu: merciful to other


    --BELL--


    Eos Amaterasu: if you can be playful with yourself, including your deeply held convictions and identifications
    Eos Amaterasu: then
    Eos Amaterasu: ....
