    Riddle Sideways: Morning Adams
    Adams Rubble: Good mornign Riddle :)
    Riddle Sideways: nice outfit
    Adams Rubble: thank you :)
    Riddle Sideways: a sailor?
       --BELL--
    Adams Rubble: sailor themed
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: been on a voyage?
    Riddle Sideways: or going?
    Adams Rubble: I have been on a long voyage since coming to PaB
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: yes yes


    Riddle Sideways: please remind us of the first ref to sailing out
    Adams Rubble: ha
    Adams Rubble: I have no idea
    Adams Rubble: I think it was something Pema said and lived to regret it :)
    Riddle Sideways: hmmm
    Adams Rubble: when I took it to the extreme
    Adams Rubble: then said I should come ashore
    Riddle Sideways: it took a while
    Adams Rubble: but the call of the sea was in my blood


    Adams Rubble: did you see my blog today?
    Riddle Sideways: partly, am multi-reading now
    Adams Rubble: https://rubblebornthoughts.wordpress...03/ysjcs-1725/
    Riddle Sideways: for the reader, thanks


    Adams Rubble: I did an old PaB exercise with a little twist
    Adams Rubble: YSBS became YSJCS
    Adams Rubble: or You Seeing, Christ Seeing


    Adams Rubble: I haven't talked to you much about the three levels
    Adams Rubble: I was very dubious but am beginng to see it
    Adams Rubble: the first level is the way we usually see
    Adams Rubble: living in our world
    Adams Rubble: usually a constricted view
    Adams Rubble: the second level is the expansive view. Religious practice is at this leve
    Adams Rubble: it feels free but it is still not there
    Adams Rubble: The Mahayana Buddhists talk about the Arhats
    Adams Rubble: they were enlightened but were not non-dual
    Adams Rubble: the third level is the non-dual level
    Adams Rubble: the level of space time and awareness (knowledge)
    Adams Rubble: It hasn't been coming to me so last night I tried YSJCS
    Adams Rubble: to get on some familiar ground. Thus my blog post


    Adams Rubble: still there?
    Riddle Sideways: the previous day's blog with seeing the forest for the mosquitos, is a ramp up to it
    Riddle Sideways: yes, was listening
    Riddle Sideways: thinking
    Adams Rubble: ohh those mosquitoes. I am a little better today
    Riddle Sideways: how adding an in-between step makes climbing the stairs easier
    Riddle Sideways: the jump from YS to YSBS was so big
    Adams Rubble: yes, I never did very well with that exercise
    Riddle Sideways: a bit easier with an extra step
    Adams Rubble: needed to personalize it a little
    Riddle Sideways: yes. and then un-personalized it
    Adams Rubble: :)
       --BELL--


    Riddle Sideways: each of us around this pavillion studied differently
    Riddle Sideways: and using any 'loaded' words put some off
    Riddle Sideways: it helped others
    Adams Rubble nods
    Riddle Sideways: "Being" was not so Loaded
    Adams Rubble nods again
    Riddle Sideways: and each student could define 'Being' to themselves
    Adams Rubble nods again
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: and yet, Be to the same place


    Riddle Sideways: gone many places during that pause
    Riddle Sideways: and yet ...
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: thinking most of the students through here, put down personal steps to help themselves
    Adams Rubble: we look through different lenses
    Riddle Sideways: jumping to Great Time/Space/Knowledge Seeing is a huge step for most all of us
    Adams Rubble: speaking of that I was considerign doing You Seeing Buddha Seeing. I may do that yet
    Adams Rubble: yes
    Riddle Sideways: yes

    Adams Rubble: I am having trouble staying in the abstract
    Riddle Sideways: nods again
    Adams Rubble: but it may be the fastest way to the "END"
    Adams Rubble: that proverbial starting place
    Riddle Sideways: and hard to stay in non-dual
    Adams Rubble: you can lead an avatar to the end but you can't make him/her know they are there
    Adams Rubble: yes, so hard to stay in the non-dual
    Riddle Sideways: you can rez an avatar, but where are ya
    Adams Rubble: sailing
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: ㋡
    Riddle Sideways: yep


    Riddle Sideways: a particularly pleasant place to get to was always "zeroth time"
    Riddle Sideways: and seemed that had to go through non-dual place to get near there
    Riddle Sideways: still like stepping stones
    Adams Rubble: I think that is presence
    Riddle Sideways: appreciate that ㋡
    Adams Rubble: ")))


    Riddle Sideways: a personal issue with presence is it is so close to mindfulness breathing
    Adams Rubble: :)))
    Riddle Sideways: which keeps on having that Inhale and Exhale
    Riddle Sideways: which stays right there in dualism
    Adams Rubble: a way into the second level
    Riddle Sideways: yes
       --BELL--


    Riddle Sideways: then shifting to how to get to a third level
    Adams Rubble: I am being told that we can get glimpses of the third level from the second level
    Adams Rubble: like being a bodhisattva--seeking that third level
    Adams Rubble: that part I made up
    Adams Rubble: the bodhisattva part
    Riddle Sideways: and easier to see from up high on the mountain
    Adams Rubble: as long as you do not travel to the top with a tiger


    Adams Rubble: (that is from my profile)
    Riddle Sideways: re-checking your profile.
    Riddle Sideways: hope you do not mind, but
    Riddle Sideways: you might add Play
    Riddle Sideways: into your 1st Life
    Riddle Sideways: ㋡
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: like how that came out ㋡


    Adams Rubble: I just changed my photo
    Adams Rubble: sigh - how quickly I can slip into playing and not as Being
    Adams Rubble: head like a sieve
    Adams Rubble: got snagged by the tiger on the mountaintop
    Riddle Sideways: am reading Memory, a book on memory that is trying hard to say it is really good to not remember everything
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: and it is probably very good not to get Stuck on trains of thoughts
    Adams Rubble nods
    Riddle Sideways: so, sailing boats are ok, but trains are not
    Adams Rubble: :)
       --BELL--
    Adams Rubble: except for mind training

    Riddle Sideways: after deep repeated thoughts (which is opposite the chat thread) maybe edit Shakespeare from Time to Plays
    Riddle Sideways: what ya think
    Riddle Sideways: sorry beel, sound is turned down

    Riddle Sideways: mind training tracks leading from point A to point B
    Riddle Sideways: ha, then wait in-terminal time to get on the next level ship
    Adams Rubble: I'll think about your suggestion. must re-read the Shakespeare quote
    Adams Rubble: terminals=waiting in anticpation
    Adams Rubble: no place for the impatient
    Adams Rubble: often are dirty places
    Adams Rubble: lacking in beauty
    Adams Rubble: rubbing elbows with humanity
    Riddle Sideways: "the Ship said it would meet us right here, so let's wait a bit longer, it will be here"
    Riddle Sideways: waiting for my ship to come in
    Adams Rubble: terminals would be a good place to practice non-dualism
    Riddle Sideways: Playing with words is such fun
    Adams Rubble: if Rubble is the captain of your ship, God knows where it might be :)
    Adams Rubble: sailing in circles maybe
    Riddle Sideways: so distracted by playing with Godot captaining some awaited ship that might step off the mountain side
    Adams Rubble: now that is a whopper mixed metaphor
    Adams Rubble: :)


    Riddle Sideways: we have been to the mountain top
    Riddle Sideways: we have sailed the seas
    Adams Rubble: can we sail back to our topic?
    Riddle Sideways: a small Moses voice tells Noah to leave the animals down at the base of the mountain
    Riddle Sideways: maybe
    Adams Rubble: hoist the landlubbers, throw out the main sail, steady as she goes
    Riddle Sideways: ay ay


    Riddle Sideways: "Seeing"
    Adams Rubble: there's work and play to be done me laddies
    Adams Rubble: lads
    Adams Rubble: yes, seeing
    Riddle Sideways: all this Seeing
    Riddle Sideways: seeing where you put yer feet


    Adams Rubble: no time to consider that the word ladies is probably derived from laddies
    Riddle Sideways: hmmmm


    Adams Rubble: ah ha, the metaphor of the feet
    Adams Rubble: stepping, seeing
    Adams Rubble: the Spirit of God descending into our hearts
    Adams Rubble: Divine Love
       --BELL--
    Adams Rubble: stopping and allowing it to fill us up
    Adams Rubble: _/!\_
    Riddle Sideways: breath in the Love, breath it out to the world


    Riddle Sideways: hanging out on that third level
    Adams Rubble: or at least visiting
    Adams Rubble: a glimpse, a key
    Riddle Sideways: will you have another cup of Kindness while we sit and glimpse?
    Adams Rubble: :)


    Adams Rubble: at this point we should be singing a hymn, having a benediction and go home with an expanded spirit
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: a verse about seeing so many other boats out on the water today
    Adams Rubble: or rowing together in one big boat
    Riddle Sideways: Michael rowed the boat ashore
    Adams Rubble: while Rubble helped to sail in circles
    Riddle Sideways: we'all rowed the boat asea
    Riddle Sideways: hmmm


    Adams Rubble: Thank you for this session
    Riddle Sideways: Thank you for Play and
    Riddle Sideways: adding a step
    Adams Rubble: It is hard to leave this peaceful place


    Adams Rubble: I wonder if anyone reads the chat logs anymore


    Riddle Sideways: was about to and then looked at where feet might go. Nope will wait a bit longer


    Riddle Sideways: /waves to gentle reader
    Adams Rubble: if anyone is reading, we wish you were here :)
    Riddle Sideways: yes,
    Adams Rubble: we wish you peace and joy and freedom from fear and anxienty
    Adams Rubble: whether you are reading or not reading
    Adams Rubble: shhhhh
    Adams Rubble: the bell is early
    Riddle Sideways: oh, I think I see it coming
    Riddle Sideways: waiting in zeroth time is much easier
    Adams Rubble: I hope you have a very good day, Riddle
       --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: and by All
    Riddle Sideways: take care
    Adams Rubble: bye :)
