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

Eos Amaterasu: Hello Lila Darkmatter
Lila Darkmatter: Hello Eos :) glad to see you
Eos Amaterasu: Yes, likewise, in supersymmetry
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Lila Darkmatter: : )
Eos Amaterasu: (I saw Particle Fever recently)
Lila Darkmatter: What is that? Film?
Eos Amaterasu: Yes, about the geeks, the experimental ones and the theoretical ones, involved with the CERN experment to find the Higgs Boson
Lila Darkmatter: Interesting... hadn't heard of it
Eos Amaterasu: some were from the institute of advanced study
Lila Darkmatter: Well done? What surprised you?
Eos Amaterasu: oh, the state of things at the end of the film, which was about 2, maybe a bit less, years ago
Eos Amaterasu: was that the Boson was too energetically light to definitively support multiple universes
Eos Amaterasu: and too heavy to definitively support supersymmetry
Eos Amaterasu: so there you go!
Lila Darkmatter: Ha ha... Is that why it was thought that *this* higgs-boson might not be *the* higgs-boson that was sought?
Eos Amaterasu: yeah, the results were provocatively inconclusive
Lila Darkmatter: and now... all these two years later....?
Eos Amaterasu: (that's how the universe is :-)
Eos Amaterasu: yes, I should catch up!
Lila Darkmatter grins

Eos Amaterasu: Was thinking, when I saw you, of "no matter, never mind"
Eos Amaterasu: which brings us to the Pema'd up in Bleu discussions
Lila Darkmatter: no mind, never matter
Eos Amaterasu: indeed :-)
Lila Darkmatter: the last several seem to be reaching a compelling place
Eos Amaterasu: need to catch up there as well
Lila Darkmatter: with more playbeings jumping in
Lila Darkmatter: Maxine sent a fascinating post - did you read that one?
Eos Amaterasu: transparent ripples?
Eos Amaterasu: Oh, yes, I did read Maxine's - loved it
Lila Darkmatter: ripples.. yes... circulation
Lila Darkmatter: fascinating when disparate inquiries converge

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu: how is your momentary being, Lila?
Lila Darkmatter: flux
Eos Amaterasu: a kind of lux?
Lila Darkmatter: I'm sort of watching myself and how things are evolving/happening... trying this, trying that
Eos Amaterasu: "a bunch of bugs, and watching them too"
Lila Darkmatter: attended a nice weekend retreatish event... interestingly, on the incisive precepts Storm sent an email about a few weeks ago
Eos Amaterasu: what were those?
Lila Darkmatter: http://www.keithdowman.net/dzogchen/incisive_precepts.htm
Lila Darkmatter: thought a lot about "3 kinds of confidence" during the time... basically the theme
Eos Amaterasu: so what is the vital point (that the 3 words strike)?
Lila Darkmatter: confidence, action, just being
Eos Amaterasu: in the midst of trying this, trying that :-)
Lila Darkmatter: exacty
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Lila Darkmatter: I'm a little tired of reinvention but maybe it is about flexibility... accepting the inconclusive universe?
Eos Amaterasu: hmm

Eos Amaterasu: today I was feeling some moments
Eos Amaterasu: came at them through thinking about how we're always trying to go to the next one, the other one
Eos Amaterasu: and that just staying in this moment
Eos Amaterasu: all you feel is gratitude
Eos Amaterasu: &, as William Blake said, "gratitude is heaven itself"
Eos Amaterasu: that was just a moment, in pretty good weather :-)
Lila Darkmatter: marvelous :))
Lila Darkmatter: "just this"
Lila Darkmatter: it sounds as though you felt at place
Eos Amaterasu: maybe that's a good one for the 90 seconds :-)
Lila Darkmatter: : ) sure!
Eos Amaterasu: Had dinner outdoors at a really good pizza place, NYC style
Lila Darkmatter: strange that it is so difficult to find really good pizza, when so many make it
Eos Amaterasu: come to Salvatore's
Lila Darkmatter smiles
Lila Darkmatter: I hear the nicer weather in your 'voice'

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu: "you can afford to rest in your mistake"
Eos Amaterasu: that's the echo of a slightly wriggly 90 seconds
Lila Darkmatter: curious
Lila Darkmatter: hm :)
Lila Darkmatter: care to say more?
Eos Amaterasu: no need to rest in the better place
Lila Darkmatter: the whole catastrophe
Eos Amaterasu: yes
Eos Amaterasu: maybe that's another Higgs Boson theory :-)
Eos Amaterasu: actually the multiverse where anything can happen seems a lot like many people's conception of God, who can do anything
Lila Darkmatter: agreed, and who allows a 'free' will of expressions
Eos Amaterasu: in some ways it's friggin' scary, as one of the theoreticians said...
Lila Darkmatter: especially for the concept of identity
Eos Amaterasu: of anything
Eos Amaterasu: we don't even know the shape of the elephant
Eos Amaterasu: (today is World Elephant day, by the way)
Lila Darkmatter: a light note, is that my son recently told me about this video game, where one plays as an octopus, and tries to multitask, coordinating all the tentacles. He said that I was imposing a far more sophisticated story onto it, but I said it felt like playing out in multiple dimensions
Lila Darkmatter: Ah :)) Elephants <3
Lila Darkmatter: I think I imposed that because doesn't it feel that way at times, like one is slipping in and out of other lives?

Eos Amaterasu: hi stevenaia
Lila Darkmatter: Hi Stevie :))
stevenaia Michinaga: evening
stevenaia Michinaga: gtsy
stevenaia Michinaga: I hope everyone has been well

Lila Darkmatter: so there is some longing for integration or harmony

Lila Darkmatter: :) thanks - yes...and you? Well?
Eos Amaterasu: his multitasking octopus meets your multi dimensions
Lila Darkmatter laughs
Lila Darkmatter: well, it is a silly visual
Eos Amaterasu: I wonder how well octopuses do.... can they serve eight cups at once?
Eos Amaterasu: we with our eyestalks should speak!
Lila Darkmatter shaking my head...
Lila Darkmatter: Stevie you must be wondering what you walked in to, hah
stevenaia Michinaga: well, I'm sure, eventually, it will all become clear

--BELL--

stevenaia Michinaga: will it?
Lila Darkmatter: to whom?
Eos Amaterasu: I think we're all in that situation
Eos Amaterasu: wondering what we walked into when we first poke out head out
stevenaia Michinaga: out of where?
stevenaia Michinaga: few walk out of the womb
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eos Amaterasu: that's the danger of metaphors :-)
Lila Darkmatter: *seeing* the situation, the catastrophe... part and parcel of the email conversation, and also discovery of higgs boson
Lila Darkmatter: it is a bit scary, looking directly, can feel dwarfing and dizzying (at least to me), but then everything is fresh again for a while
Eos Amaterasu: the personal experience has a sense of goodness
Lila Darkmatter: am making note of the film now, thanks for that Eos (Particle Fever @Stevie)
Eos Amaterasu: (Netflix)
stevenaia Michinaga: awww
stevenaia Michinaga: will look that up

Lila Darkmatter: am sleepy... dots dispersing ^.^ Nice to see you both but I'm off to bed
Eos Amaterasu: good night, Lila! (( ))
stevenaia Michinaga: night lila
Lila Darkmatter: thanks so much for being here (((((( ))))))))
Eos Amaterasu: (back to the octopus :-)
stevenaia Michinaga: bringing up netlfix
Eos Amaterasu: ah
Eos Amaterasu: geeks in love with discovery
stevenaia Michinaga: love comes in many forms
Eos Amaterasu: you know the world wide web got invented because of CERN
stevenaia Michinaga: nods
stevenaia Michinaga: hmm DRM issue
Eos Amaterasu: by Tim Berners Lee, who truly deserves the title of "Web Developer"
Eos Amaterasu: on Netflix?
stevenaia Michinaga: in thinks it's a "player" issue, I may have deletes silverlight
stevenaia Michinaga: will deal with it later... many stps to resolution
stevenaia Michinaga: steps
Eos Amaterasu: with technology you can easily lose all simplicity
stevenaia Michinaga: I put it on my "to watch" list
stevenaia Michinaga: yes,
stevenaia Michinaga: I was going to install windows on my mac, I'm sure it's very simple the second time you do it
Eos Amaterasu: :-)

--BELL--

stevenaia Michinaga: whenever they say "Back up everything before you begin", you can only worry
stevenaia Michinaga: oops
Eos Amaterasu: whups
stevenaia Michinaga: I double clicked over there and teleported
Eos Amaterasu: Good night, stevenaia!
stevenaia Michinaga: touchy thing
stevenaia Michinaga: night Eos
Eos Amaterasu: enjoy the evening!
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
