Riddle Sideways: ha, just finally got that blog lines reference. the finger pointing instead of what is pointing at
Riddle Sideways: an old ref to things we have talked
Riddle Sideways: read that line 3-10 times
Adams Rubble: My RL avatar had an experience
Adams Rubble: hard to talk about
Adams Rubble: because it is too soon
Riddle Sideways: several experiences, from the readings
Adams Rubble: and personal
Riddle Sideways: oh the things not written between the lines

Adams Rubble: Mystics talk about the divine within a person
Adams Rubble: been doing much reading of Medieval Christian mystics.
Adams Rubble: Most lately Julian of Norwich
Adams Rubble: decided to read more modern Christian mysticism
Adams Rubble: turned to the Society of Friends
Adams Rubble: and finally to Rufus Jones
Adams Rubble: who explained the Quaker practice of meditating during their meetings
Adams Rubble: quieting all thoughts
Adams Rubble: to get to what they call the Inner Light

Adams Rubble: the next part gets more difficult to talk about
Adams Rubble: In cases in the Bible when people have an encounter with the divine they are struck blind or dumb for a few days so they are unable to talk about it :)
     --BELL--
Adams Rubble: If I am correct that happened to Moses
Adams Rubble: after the encounter with the burning bush
Adams Rubble: in any case, the voice in me and in the blog had already touched this inner light
Adams Rubble: in touch with
Riddle Sideways: ref #1826 point 6 ㋡ for the readers following along
Riddle Sideways: completely quieting to listen
Riddle Sideways: not a practice seen much now-a-days
Adams Rubble: I don't know what else to say except that it appears to be the end of a long search
Adams Rubble: I was already there and did not recognize it
Riddle Sideways: that is Very good
Riddle Sideways: and noting the re-Search-ing going on too
Riddle Sideways: searching through notes, writing, histories
Riddle Sideways: seeing that you saw

     --BELL--

Riddle Sideways: we were Appreciating Appearances
Adams Rubble: not sure I'll vote for the lindens in the next election
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Riddle Sideways: there is a terrible trend going on and getting worse, where people Don't listen, but jump on "that has happened to me" and they can top your story
Riddle Sideways: so they interrupt
Riddle Sideways: to hear Their voice
Riddle Sideways: personally enjoy listening to that happening
Riddle Sideways: yet, this weekend there was a discussion after a documentary, that am an expert on
Riddle Sideways: and could not get the facts out
Riddle Sideways: without interruptions
Adams Rubble: someone manspaining?
Riddle Sideways: and topic changes
Riddle Sideways: not so much manspaining, as their story was better...
Riddle Sideways: Plus, interrupt an answer to ask a different question

Riddle Sideways: in another meditation group, we know that there will be discussion of each of our reflections
Riddle Sideways: so, much time is spent practicing what one will say
Riddle Sideways: when this darn quiet ends ㋡
Adams Rubble likes the "darn quiet" reference
Riddle Sideways: Reflection. the appearance of appearance?
Adams Rubble: no worries, July 4th is coming :)
Riddle Sideways: more like the appearance of a past appearence
Riddle Sideways: or maybe finally seeing a past appearance
Adams Rubble: Buddha warns against past appearance
Adams Rubble: OK if you are appreciating them I think
     --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: appreciating the appearance of burning bushes ㋡
Riddle Sideways: have never had a burning bush appear
Riddle Sideways: but have had the story of one appear many times
Adams Rubble: :)))

Riddle Sideways: appreciating that you have had the appearance repeat enough to See
Adams Rubble: we don't always come woillingly
Adams Rubble: willingly
Riddle Sideways: love typos

Riddle Sideways: before this session, read the last 3 blogs over
Riddle Sideways: and will re-re-read them again
Riddle Sideways: the Margins, not borders

Adams Rubble: the landscapers have arrive in RL to do something about the darn quiet :)
Riddle Sideways: in The Olden Days, thought was thought to end at the end of the flat world
Adams Rubble: yes, so interesting that we do not know the margins of our own beings
Adams Rubble: being
Riddle Sideways: Ok, go get the darn quiet out of Being
Riddle Sideways: the constant struggle to get meaning between the interruptions

Riddle Sideways: is to be in the 90's here today, so need to get out and do some landscaping clean up while still cool
Adams Rubble: thank you for hosting the session today
Riddle Sideways: then later will schedule time to Reflect
Riddle Sideways: thank you for sticking along
Adams Rubble: someone still needs to write a post (maybe)
Adams Rubble: take good care and have a good week
Riddle Sideways: by All
Adams Rubble: bye
