2016.01.21 13:00 - TSK Session: Fields, Giant Body, Diverse Imaginations

The Guardians for this TSK theme session were Eliza and Mick.

The session went by quickly and homework instructions were not clear at the end. 

My updated, specific suggestion is to go no further than Exercise 5!
Also, spend some time re-reading the experiences others had, which are shared in this session.

Thoughts or questions that didn't come up in session, or that anyone would like to put forward, should be posted in the comments section on this page: 2016.01.21 - The Presence of Space, week 2

Session Beginning

Eliza Madrigal: So let's start. Last week's session flew by really fast... so I was happy to remember that I'd planned a week in between chapters one and two....
Agatha Macbeth: me calls an ambulance
Mickorod Renard: :)
Eliza Madrigal: As we mentioned, and the book mentioned, it is good to get off to a solid start,
Riddle Sideways: a solid start onto shaky ground
Bleu Oleander: :)
Wester Kiranov: :)
Eliza Madrigal: We'll talk more about the exercises in a bit, but one thing that stayed with me is something Bleu brought up, and I emailed her to see if she might elaborate ....
Bleu Oleander: sure
Bleu Oleander: I think I said "space is not empty"
Riddle Sideways: brb : county crews are here
Eliza Madrigal: I didn't have any familiarity with the "fields" ... thanks Bleu
Eliza Madrigal: Okay Riddle (bye)
Eliza Madrigal: ah yes that's it, Bleu
Bertram Jacobus: hi steve
Eliza Madrigal waves to Stevie
Mickorod Renard: Hi Stevie
stevenaia Michinaga: greetings
 

Activeness and Allowingness of Space

Bleu Oleander: ok so ... our relatively new understanding of space ... fundamental building blocks of space are fields that fill all space — that can create and destroy particles. fields are the primary reality — space itself
Bleu Oleander: hi Steve
Bleu Oleander: you may have seen the announcement of the discovery of the Higgs
Eliza Madrigal nods
Bleu Oleander: so the higgs field permeates all space
Bertram Jacobus: boson ?
Bleu Oleander: yes
Bertram Jacobus: ok
Mickorod Renard: ok
Bleu Oleander: and gives particles their mass
Wester Kiranov: http://amultiverse.com/comic/2012/07...boson-buddies/
Agatha Macbeth: The Higgs bosom as Rhi once inadvertantly called it
Bleu Oleander: :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: One track mind
Bleu Oleander: we don’t sense directly but use in our deepest descriptions of nature. our perception of the world is exceedingly partial — but we have our imaginations that can go beyond what we evolved to perceive.
Mickorod Renard: I like 'imagination'
Bleu Oleander: it is how I approach the exercises in TSK as stretching our imagination muscles
stevenaia Michinaga: as with anything, it gets better with use
Wester Kiranov: that's a nice way of viewing them
Bleu Oleander: so space is very active
Bleu Oleander: not nothing
Bleu Oleander: not empty
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Bleu Oleander: not void
stevenaia Michinaga: as voids are filled with space
Eliza Madrigal: The discovery of the Higgs brought up just as many questions as it sought to answer ...
Eliza Madrigal: because there were other particles then thought to be more fundamental?
Eliza Madrigal: now looking for them...?
Bleu Oleander: the discovery of the higgs confirmed another piece of the puzzle
Eliza Madrigal nods
Mickorod Renard listens
Bleu Oleander: not sure how much more really applies here, but that was my main point
Bleu Oleander: we have a new understanding of space
Mickorod Renard: sounds good
Eliza Madrigal: thanks very much. I think it applies in that we don't want to push to the side discoveries and possibilities
Bleu Oleander: I think when TSK was written we didn't all understand what was being discovered
Eliza Madrigal: I think it is fair to say that empty, both in current physics and in TSK, is not "nothing"?
Bleu Oleander: :)

--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: wait, strike that, lol... still considering

Bleu Oleander: I'm not sure how to understand what the author means when he says that Great Space remains infinite, accommodates everything, and yet sets up nothing and does nothing.
Bleu Oleander: for me space does a lot
Eliza Madrigal: I think he is making a distinction between previous ideas of "ether"
Eliza Madrigal: or "substance"
Eliza Madrigal: but how do others feel?

Wester Kiranov: I actually feel space as he describes it doesn't need fields or particles either
Bruce Mowbray: I agree with Wester.
Eliza Madrigal listens
Bleu Oleander: ether was thought to be a substance that everything was in ... kinda like water is for fish ... a medium
Wester Kiranov: It just allows them
Bertram Jacobus: i agree with wester and bruce :-)
Bleu Oleander: so space before fields or particles?
Bleu Oleander: before the big bang perhaps?
Eliza Madrigal: so fields and particles would be part of what is allowed? (space) more primary somehow?
Wester Kiranov: I think so
Wester Kiranov: or at least I think the book thinks so

Bleu Oleander: we just don't know what was there before the big bang
Mickorod Renard: I would feel its more about the infinite
Wester Kiranov: Before the Big Bang there was no physical space
Eliza Madrigal: space and time did seem to come with the big bang ... so what about our purposes?
Bleu Oleander: we don't know that Wester
Wester Kiranov: yet the big bang started somewhere
Eliza Madrigal: or big rip...
Eliza Madrigal: so many wonderful notions
Wester Kiranov: (granted bleu, we don't know)
Bleu Oleander: there may be many bangs
Bleu Oleander: many worlds
 

Progression into TSK

Mickorod Renard: for progression into tsk would it matter?
Eliza Madrigal: Fun to stretch to imagine the possibilities - might help us with the exercises
Wester Kiranov: and I think the space of this book is not what's in the worlds but what allows the worlds
Bleu Oleander: I think where it matters is that each of us have our own understanding of ideas like space and time
Bleu Oleander: so will perceive differently in our imaginations

Catrinamonblue Resident: I'm not sure of this but I'll put it out there anyways.... what I felt with the reading was that there was a need to let go of any preconceived notions of space and just allow it be......
Wester Kiranov: yes to cat
Eliza Madrigal: Nice Cat... appreciate that approach
Eliza Madrigal: but I like the question too, if it was written today, "what might have been considered and included?"
Bruce Mowbray: I feel that our "method" should be to interpret the book from the "purpose" of the author in writing it - as much as we're able to do that. agrees with Cat.
Bleu Oleander: can't help the way our bias color our imaginations but nice to try and stretch to get there
Mickorod Renard: yes, i see, a sort of coming to an accepted platform to move on from..maybe?
Wester Kiranov: it's nice to see the color of the glasses you are looking through
Bleu Oleander: and i'm not saying you have to imagine fields
Bleu Oleander: was just asked to explain my comment

Bruce Mowbray: welcome, Wol.
Bertram Jacobus: woly hi ! :-)
Wester Kiranov: hi wol
Mickorod Renard: Hi Wol
Bleu Oleander: hi Wol
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Wol, hope feeling okay
Agatha Macbeth: Wollie!
Catrinamonblue Resident: Hi Wol :)
Wol Euler: evening all, sorry I'm late
Eliza Madrigal nods... remember that we're all moving through this together
Wester Kiranov: glad you're here
Eliza Madrigal: thanks very much Bleu
Eliza Madrigal: (I'll give you a notecard Wol)
Wol Euler: thank you
Bruce Mowbray: yes, ty, Bleu.
Bleu Oleander: yw :)
 

Experiences and Impressions with the Giant Body exercise(s)


Eliza Madrigal: So now I'd like to move to the round, if OK I'd like to hear what everyone has been working with over the last week, and if there are things/questions that came up prominently... Seem okay?

Mickorod Renard: when I was refering to infinite i was thinking of infinite posibilities within that space,,ie not empty but allowing,,so I guess thats the same as Wester
Bruce Mowbray: kk, with me, liza.
Wester Kiranov: ok with eliza
Eliza Madrigal: oh, ty Mick
Bleu Oleander: same as what I was saying too Mick
Mickorod Renard: ok eliza
Eliza Madrigal: maybe we can begin wit you then Mick?

Mick

Mickorod Renard: ok
Mickorod Renard: I have kept to the suggested early part of giant body
Mickorod Renard: I had recall of doing it a few years ago
Mickorod Renard: I was reminded of my vivid imagination
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Mickorod Renard: and questioned my validity
Mickorod Renard: I talked it thro a bit with someone with no imagination
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Wester Kiranov: :)
Agatha Macbeth: I don't remember that :p
Mickorod Renard: and felt grateful I had an imagination
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Mickorod Renard: i could easily travel around the body
Mickorod Renard: within and without
Mickorod Renard: I noticed that light was not important
Mickorod Renard: I noticed that i had an awareness of not being in my body while I did it

--BELL--

Mickorod Renard: I also noticed I had drifted into lucid dream staes at times
Mickorod Renard: I questioned whether i had allowed my imagination too much freedom
Mickorod Renard: voila for now
Eliza Madrigal: really interesting, Mick, ty
Mickorod Renard: ty

Bert (passes)

Eliza Madrigal: I realize Bertie, you haven't been here for sessions before, but please feel free to comment if you'd like to
Bertram Jacobus: ah. ty eliza - but i pass so far - ty again ! :-)
Eliza Madrigal: :)) k

Agatha

Eliza Madrigal: Agatha?
Agatha Macbeth: Hm
Agatha Macbeth: The big body I know of is Jupiter
Agatha Macbeth: Other than that...

Agatha Macbeth: Did I crash
Eliza Madrigal: no...waiting to see further comments?
Wol Euler: we're waiting on your comments
Bleu Oleander: I see you
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: You had them
Eliza Madrigal: thanks
Mickorod Renard: we are waiting for the bang
Eliza Madrigal: Wol?
Eliza Madrigal laughs
Agatha Macbeth: That happened a few billion years ago I think

Wol

Wol Euler: I found the exercise silly at first, then as I sat with it began to enjoy it more and more
Wol Euler: imagining travelling about in the body, ducking between sinew and bone ...
Wol Euler: and began to wonder where and what i was when considering this. I quickly lost track of my own body, both in the world and in the visualization, during the exercises
Wol Euler: I think that's it for now
Eliza Madrigal: hmm, thank you... that has resemblance to Mick's comments too...
Eliza Madrigal: Stevie, ready?
Mickorod Renard's thinking that too

Stevenaia

stevenaia Michinaga: Unfortunately my imagination got the best of me. I only tried it a few times and ended up on the outside of familiar bodies at a very small scale.. yet was warmed by the proximitiy
stevenaia Michinaga: perhaps I was still in a cuddle state
Eliza Madrigal grins
Mickorod Renard: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: aprehensive of going to the cellular level and losing that
stevenaia Michinaga: but that what next week is for
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Eliza Madrigal: ^.^

Wol and Mick (additions)

Wol Euler: actually may I add one more thing when Stevie is finished?
stevenaia Michinaga: yes done
Eliza Madrigal: yes please
Mickorod Renard: could I too, after Wol?
Wol Euler: it occurs to me just now that I never "met" the person whose body I was in, even when it was a particular person in my imagination
Wol Euler: I never had the feeling of being surrounded by a ... what to call it? "perceiving entity" ...
Wol Euler: "consciousness" ...
Wol Euler: just matter
Wol Euler: done again

Eliza Madrigal: listens for Mick :)
Mickorod Renard: I had noticed that my travels incured some sort of stop start of visualzation
Mickorod Renard: there was fluid known travel and then jerky not sure bits
Mickorod Renard: done
Eliza Madrigal pondering all the comments

Eliza Madrigal: Kori, do you have thoughts or comments...? one would think that due to your schooling and work it might be more easy or detailed for you going forward...
Eliza Madrigal: but not sure, just curious
Eliza Madrigal: (she may be afk so we can come back)
Eliza Madrigal: Bruce?
Agatha Macbeth: Busy girl
 

Bruce

Bruce Mowbray: I felt that Exercise 1 (The Giant Body) had basically two purposes for my own growth process, at least two:
Bruce Mowbray: exercising/expanding our "focal settings" and introducing us to "space" as a substrate for all experience.
Bruce Mowbray: For me, "projecting space into space" was the equivalent of pouring emptiness into emptiness - and i found that refreshing and valuable.
Bruce Mowbray: I appreciated Mick's comment about having no need for extra light.
Bruce Mowbray: and wherever I visited inside the body, there was plenty of light and plenty of space for exploration.
Bruce Mowbray: [done]
Eliza Madrigal: nice, ty Bruce :))
Eliza Madrigal: Wester?
Bruce Mowbray: yw
Wester Kiranov: oh sorry
Wester Kiranov: was distracted for a moment
Eliza Madrigal: no worries at all
 

Wester

Wester Kiranov: I found this exercise pretty difficult
Wester Kiranov: I kept getting bogged down in the details
Wester Kiranov: male or female? exactly how large? can I use my own body as example?
Wester Kiranov: I got a sort of body in view but I definitely could not move into the pores

--BELL--

Wester Kiranov: when I listen to all of you it seems I need to loosen up quite a bit

Eliza Madrigal appreciates the diversity of approaches so much
Wol Euler nods.
Bleu Oleander: :)
Wester Kiranov: :)
Eliza Madrigal: Cat, ready?
Wester Kiranov: i guess that's it

Catrinamonblue

Catrinamonblue Resident: I have a very vivd imagination
Catrinamonblue Resident: and could easily crate and play with the image
Catrinamonblue Resident: but felt resistance to moving into the image
Catrinamonblue Resident: I kept wanting to change it's clothes, hair ect :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: done :)
Eliza Madrigal: hehe :))
Bruce Mowbray: fascinating.
Eliza Madrigal: Thanks Cat
Eliza Madrigal: and ty Wester, hope I didn't cut you off in any way
Eliza Madrigal: Bleu?
Bleu Oleander: yes

Bleu

Bleu Oleander: I had a very energizing experience
Bleu Oleander: my giant body was naked and looked like clay
Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
Bleu Oleander: the suggestion of going thru a pore was like click and zoom
Bleu Oleander: I zoomed to thousands of doors/pores
Bleu Oleander: and slipped right in
Bleu Oleander: to the most amazing colors
Bleu Oleander: like a jackson pollock paintings
Bleu Oleander: slippery and wet
Bleu Oleander: oozy and sooo colorful I didn't want to come back lol
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Bleu Oleander: ok done
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal smiling a lot
Bleu Oleander: was very fun
Mickorod Renard: nice

Eliza

Eliza Madrigal: my report surprises myself... because I'm not yet having fun with this :)
Eliza Madrigal: I thought it would be fairly smooth, but I need to let myself slow down and settle...
Eliza Madrigal: let the process stabilize. I find that I split my attentions
Eliza Madrigal: and have simultaneously the body from "outside" and "inside"
Eliza Madrigal: and can't stay long or linger very well
Eliza Madrigal: also, I get in my own way, with images from magic school bus, or from buddhist practice...
Eliza Madrigal: or things like that
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Eliza Madrigal: just jumping around
Eliza Madrigal: so, I came back to my meditation cushion after a while (George was using it more than me) and am going to keep plugging along
Eliza Madrigal: (done)

Agatha Macbeth: Shame he can't be here
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal: I'm inspired hearing everyone's approaches and experiences so far
Eliza Madrigal: think it will help
Wol Euler: I'm pleased to hear somebody admitting to having difficulty with the exercise :) I filtered that out of my response ...
Wester Kiranov: :)
Bruce Mowbray: relaxation fuels trust and trust fuels relaxation. . . . and both seem necessary to do these exercises.... (?)
Eliza Madrigal: helpful guidance Bruce... I think so

Mick's "weird visit"

Mickorod Renard: I did have one wierd visit. I entered the body one time and inside it was a forest..I walked down a path and was suprised to see a fellow walk by reading a book as he walked..he acnowleged me and said something like ' ah your back again'..it freaked me out and I came back to normal
Eliza Madrigal: wow Mick :)))
Mickorod Renard: sorry, thought it may be pertinant
Eliza Madrigal: so playful, letting yourself really see where it goes
Wol Euler: wow
Bruce Mowbray: amazing, Mick. Trust that! and relax with it.
Bruce Mowbray: yes, agrees with Eliza.
Mickorod Renard: a bit spooky
Eliza Madrigal: so some words so far: energizing, spooky...
Bleu Oleander: I think its ok to play with it ... let imagination flow
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal: definitely
Mickorod Renard: also, I found myself wanting to visit parts of the strange body that was hurting in my body

Bleu Oleander: I didn't like the suggestion to consult a physiology book ... preferred my own "inner giant" landscape :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bruce Mowbray agrees with Bleu.
Catrinamonblue Resident: yes me too Bleu :)
Wol Euler: same :)
stevenaia Michinaga: nods, I chose an ammalgum of people I knew
Mickorod Renard: I did wonder whether I need to brush up on phisiology
Eliza Madrigal: I've been coloring and sketching also, trying to stabilize

Bruce Mowbray: also, I would rather POUR space into space than PROJECT space into space, a subtle difference.
Eliza Madrigal: Riddle mentioned that he was looking for an SL "Body" sim he sort of remembers, or dreamed
stevenaia Michinaga: that would be interesting (field trip)
Bleu Oleander: I seem to remember something like that too
Eliza Madrigal: so far he can't find it but if anyone has leads or links, that would be great
Eliza Madrigal: for those who might benefit
Bleu Oleander: probably have a LM somewhere deep in my inventory lol
Eliza Madrigal: We should talk about the next phase before we go. Exercise 2 is posted at the bottom fo last session...
Bruce Mowbray: Pema had a sim in which one could walk between planets, stars, etc.
Eliza Madrigal thinks of the giant inventory exercise...heheh
Bleu Oleander: yes I remember that
Bruce Mowbray: and also among atoms, if I remember rightly.
Bleu Oleander: lol

--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: Part of MICA, perhaps
Bleu Oleander imagines traveling into my inventory
Bruce Mowbray: yes, it was MICA.
Eliza Madrigal: Okay so we now go officially to Chapter 2
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, let's.
Eliza Madrigal: The Body and Human Embodiment
Wol Euler: \o/
Eliza Madrigal: A lot of the text for this is commentary on exercises
Eliza Madrigal: and I like the way it is sort of broken up that way, to work with the exercises, then consider further, on and on
Eliza Madrigal: Some, I'm sure feel ready to move on, and others of us may take a bit longer...so we may be slightly off from each other but nothing to worry about
Bertram Jacobus: [ sorry, i poof, silently and quickly - ty for having been allowed to be here and take part in the interesting project ! ] - and may all beings be happy please ... ! :-)

Mickorod Renard: there was a suggestion somewhere that we keep doing the body visits,,to develop it I think
Bruce Mowbray: Namaste, Bert.
Mickorod Renard: bye Bert
Agatha Macbeth: TC Berti
Eliza Madrigal waves to Berti
Eliza Madrigal: yes Mick... all of the exercises build from the first

Eliza Madrigal: so it is kind of like hm, a tai chi or something....?
Eliza Madrigal: thoughts on that comparison Stevie?
Eliza Madrigal: getting into a flow?
Agatha Macbeth: Or something
Mickorod Renard: yes, what i meant was, dont give up..
Eliza Madrigal: indeed
stevenaia Michinaga: it comes with practice, but it is always there
Bruce Mowbray: well, Tai Chi is always grounded... in the tantien.... center....
stevenaia Michinaga: you only rediscover it
Bruce Mowbray: and these exercises are too, with space as the substrate, I felt.
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: Next week is actually a whole session on the exercise(s)...
stevenaia Michinaga: also... Tai Chi is not about Mastery... it is only about constantly getting better
Eliza Madrigal: :) nice, perfect

Wol Euler: Perhaps I missed something, but this chapter seems like a lot of exercises for one week. How many are we to do?
Bruce Mowbray agrees, perfect.
Wol Euler: (sorry to interrupt)
Wester Kiranov: (phone call, leaving)
Mickorod Renard: Wol, I was thinking that too
Eliza Madrigal: I think we've reached a point where some will go farther than others....
Eliza Madrigal: (not interrupting at all)
Eliza Madrigal: but my suggestion, would be not to go too fast
Eliza Madrigal: we have a few weeks still, next week for exercise discussion only, then the following week Embodiment discussion...

Bleu Oleander: perhaps considering how others proceed and where they get stuck or move quickly might be interesting?
Catrinamonblue Resident: I'm going to miss next week due to traveling..... I'm going to try to do some but no guarantees
Mickorod Renard: I had thought about reading it back to front cos that way I will get to the end
Bleu Oleander: :)
Eliza Madrigal: yes, that is what I was thinking, but am open to others' ideas (re seeing paces being part)

Bruce Mowbray: OH! Don't do that, Mick.
Bleu Oleander: there is no end
Catrinamonblue Resident: lol Mick :)
Mickorod Renard: :)
Eliza Madrigal: I'll give a more detailed suggestion in emails and wiki pages
Bruce Mowbray: Have a great time in Cuba, Cat!
Agatha Macbeth: They do that in Japan
Mickorod Renard: great session eliza
Eliza Madrigal: um Mick, please no
Eliza Madrigal: lol
Catrinamonblue Resident: ty :)
Mickorod Renard: Thank you all
Eliza Madrigal: yes safe travels, Cat!
Eliza Madrigal: Thanks Mick! very much
Eliza Madrigal: and everyone (bye Wester!)
Mickorod Renard: go well cat
Wol Euler: bye cat, have a lovely time
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Bruce Mowbray: so, Chapter 2 for next week.

Eliza Madrigal: I got my fingers tangled
Agatha Macbeth: ^.^
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal: yes continue with exercises, and moving through chapter 2 with no hurry
Eliza Madrigal: there are two weeks to work with it
Mickorod Renard: a week later i may have crashed into Cat
Bruce Mowbray: (10 exercises and ten commentaries --- whew!)

Eliza Madrigal: actually more, but for the purposes of organization
Eliza Madrigal: saying two
Bruce Mowbray: TWO IS GOOD.
Wol Euler: okay, hearing that makes me much more comfortable with this set of exercises
Catrinamonblue Resident: hahaha Mick... that would have been interesting :)
Eliza Madrigal: :) these sessions are flying by
Eliza Madrigal: even my fingers can't keep up :P
Mickorod Renard: :)
Bruce Mowbray: They DO go fast, don't they?
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Bleu Oleander: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Get George to type for you
stevenaia Michinaga: right chapters vs exercises
Eliza Madrigal: but so fascinating

Eliza Madrigal: I will read everyone's comments again slowly and consider
Eliza Madrigal: that might be part of the week's homework really :)
Bleu Oleander: yes nice idea
Bruce Mowbray: good idea, Eliza.
Mickorod Renard: you are a gem Eliza
Wol Euler: agreed
Wol Euler cheers!
Bruce Mowbray: a pearl of a girl.
Bleu Oleander: . ♥ . ♥ . ♥ . ♥ . ♥ .
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal cheers for everyone <3 ty
Bruce Mowbray: ***** APPLAUSE! *****

Eliza Madrigal: And thanks so much Bleu for starting session, lots to ask you to explain lol
Bleu Oleander: yw :)
Mickorod Renard: yes, super Bleu
stevenaia Michinaga: see you next week
Catrinamonblue Resident: must go now :) see you all in 2 weeks :)
Mickorod Renard: bye Cat
Wol Euler waves.
Bleu Oleander: take care all
Mickorod Renard: bye everyone
Eliza Madrigal waves warmly, ty everyone
Mickorod Renard: that was nice
Bleu Oleander: warm hugs
Agatha Macbeth: Will there be an English language version available?
Eliza Madrigal: it is nice... so many angles of interest, good feeling
Wol Euler nods.
Eliza Madrigal laughs and tickles Aggers
Agatha Macbeth pokes Liz in the ear
Eliza Madrigal: I don't want to wet your skates or I'd throw you in the pool
Eliza Madrigal: ouch
Agatha Macbeth: The green goddess
Eliza Madrigal: this dress was made of one of Xiri's paintings
Agatha Macbeth: Reminds me of somebody
Wol Euler: this version of Eliza reminds me of "Cat on a hot tin roof"-era Elizabeth Taylor
Eliza Madrigal smiles, nice... hadn't seen it but now that you mention
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe that's why she left
Mickorod Renard: oh yes
Mickorod Renard: pretty
Eliza Madrigal: George was playing at my feet this whole time now is fast asleep

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: He probably didn't get any of it either
Agatha Macbeth: Give him a bone for me
Eliza Madrigal: part of it may be the simplicity... of getting beyond that silly feeling Wol mentioned?
Wol Euler smiles.
Mickorod Renard: I am amazed tho, to discover how diferent we are when it comes to imagination
Agatha Macbeth: Silly I can handle
Eliza Madrigal: just going with it
Agatha Macbeth: Without spaces too
Eliza Madrigal: yes Mick!

Eliza Madrigal: still must make dinner...
Eliza Madrigal: zzzz
Wol Euler: bye all
Mickorod Renard: Morgano has no visual mind creativity..either for this or to dream
Wol Euler: take care, and thank you eliza
Mickorod Renard: bye Wol
Agatha Macbeth: Never mix eating with sleeping
Agatha Macbeth: Makes the bed messy
Wol Euler: lol
Eliza Madrigal: take care everyone, feel better Wol
Korel Laloix: ciao
Agatha Macbeth: ♥
Mickorod Renard: bye Eliza
Wol Euler: thank you
Eliza Madrigal: Interesting Mick bye
Wol Euler: and I'm off too. Goodnight all, thanks and bye for now
Mickorod Renard: ok, I must bid farewell
Wol Euler waves and poofs
Mickorod Renard: bye bye folks
Mickorod Renard: nite nite
Agatha Macbeth: BFN
Agatha Macbeth: TC K

Beginning

Eliza Madrigal: So let's start. Last week's session flew by really fast... so I was happy to remember that I'd planned a week in between chapters one and two....
Agatha Macbeth: me calls an ambulance
Mickorod Renard: :)
Eliza Madrigal: As we mentioned, and the book mentioned, it is good to get off to a solid start,
Riddle Sideways: a solid start onto shaky ground
Bleu Oleander: :)
Wester Kiranov: :)
Eliza Madrigal: We'll talk more about the exercises in a bit, but one thing that stayed with me is something Bleu brought up, and I emailed her to see if she might elaborate ....
Bleu Oleander: sure
Bleu Oleander: I think I said "space is not empty"
Riddle Sideways: brb : county crews are here
Eliza Madrigal: I didn't have any familiarity with the "fields" ... thanks Bleu
Eliza Madrigal: Okay Riddle (bye)
Eliza Madrigal: ah yes that's it, Bleu
Bertram Jacobus: hi steve
Eliza Madrigal waves to Stevie
Mickorod Renard: Hi Stevie
stevenaia Michinaga: greetings
