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.
--BELL--
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
--BELL--
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: ....
