    Will not tell Eliza. Mums the word. :) If I did tell Eliza, she would suggest JUST playing with the remaining exercises. She thinks they are super interesting and fun!


    Pema Pera: The more free translation by Ken McLeod is:

    Let go of what has passed.
    Let go of what may come.
    Let go of what is happening now.
    Don't try to figure anything out.
    Don't try to make anything happen.
    Relax, right now, and rest.
    Pema Pera: the first three are about time,
    the next two about input/output: sensori/motor,
    the last one only is positive: rest

    Scathach and Pema discuss the Six Lines of Tilopa. :)

    The way I remember him describing the lines as each of the earlier as resting in the last,
    as if first. So a kind of 'start at the end' instruction.

    Oh, wanted to share something. For the first time ever, at least for me, PlayasBeing came up within the first five results of a search I did, in this case for a poem.
    Posted 02:33, 24 Aug 2016
    Pema Pera: there is a text I like very much that I thought of, when hearing that this week's topics was going to be stillness
    Pema Pera: Here are Tilopa's "six words": Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don't try to figure anything out. Don't try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest.
    Pema Pera: This "rest" for me is like "stillness"
    Santoshima Resident: yeah
    Eliza Madrigal: wonderful yes
    --BELL--
    Bleu Oleander: stillness can hold all the potential for being and yet appear as at rest
    Pema Pera nods
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Eliza Madrigal: I like reading that text from bottom up... think you suggested that once Pema... has the same sensibility perhaps... like a container...
    Pema Pera doesn't remember, but likes the idea :)
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Santoshima Resident: top, downward ~ bottom upward / inhale and exhale
    Santoshima Resident: all the 6 lines happen at once
    Pema Pera nods
    Pema Pera: no time

    One more :)


    Eos Amaterasu: http://www.presencing.com/projects/sp_theater.shtml

    Eliza Madrigal: Interesting description. Have you taken part in this kind of thing before?
    Eos Amaterasu: Not exactly that, but I've been at events which are maybe more extended and complete versions of that, such as the all-night Javanese shadow puppet play
    Calvino Rabeni: Calvino Rabeni puts link into his bookmark collection

    Eliza Madrigal: I learned only recently that the word 'theory' derives from the same word that theatre dervies from... thought that was fascinating connection
    Calvino Rabeni: That's fascinating :)
    Eos Amaterasu: theories: ways of seeing
    Eliza Madrigal: yes :)
    Eos Amaterasu: language is amazing
    Calvino Rabeni: It shows the truer early relationship between knowing and Drama
    Eos Amaterasu: playing as
    Calvino Rabeni: as it is a Dramatic Universe
    Eliza Madrigal: hmmm, nods :))
    Eos Amaterasu: I guess there's some connotation of acting and knowing that you're acting (or, being, and knowing that you're being, is acting)
    Eliza Madrigal: yes, seeing your views
    Eos Amaterasu: which means awareness could rest in itself
    Eos Amaterasu: gulp
    Eliza Madrigal smiles, breathes
    Eos Amaterasu: (sixth word of Tilopa :-)
    Eos Amaterasu: rang sar zhag: rest in itself
    Calvino Rabeni: That archaic consciousness still carries a lot of truth that has been "forgotten" by moderns

    Eliza Madrigal: have been thinking about that fellow a lot... about 'beyond effort' and Rest that is active
    Calvino Rabeni: Like, the classic imporance of the Art of Rhetoric
    Calvino Rabeni: as an essential part of the education of the mind
    (snip)
    Calvino Rabeni: Good point - rest is active - the paradox is it a kind of fulcrum - like the pivot of a lever - least movement but most active
