Stargate Tone: _/|\_
Stargate Tone: ah yes; this story...
Stargate Tone: as the monk went to the master and said;
Stargate Tone: "when I meditate, I feel sooo bad"
Stargate Tone: the master said;
Stargate Tone: "It shall change"
Stargate Tone: a while after this monk went to the master and said;
Stargate Tone: "when I meditate, I feel sooo happy"
Stargate Tone: the master said;
Stargate Tone: "It shall change"
Stargate Tone: end of the story
Darren Islar: :)
2010.06.13 07:00 - Education, Not Something we Have

Veronica Pettirosso: what do u do here
Agatha Macbeth: That is a very good question Veronica, we often ask ourselves the same thing :)

Eliza Madrigal: Especially when its hard, one can feel they 'finally' figure something out and its time to change :))
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, understands that
Adams Rubble: I hated when I graduated from college. I thought it was the end of fun and would have to go to work; no one told me that learning would go on and work could be fun
Agatha Macbeth: We go on learning and developing throughout our lives
Agatha Macbeth: There is always something new
Adams Rubble: Of course I've stayed in the academic world and really haven;t graduated yet :)
Eliza Madrigal giggles
Agatha Macbeth grins

Eliza Madrigal: pernicious idea ... 'this' is a picture of success, worthihood, normality, etc
Agatha Macbeth: Oh yes, definitely
Eliza Madrigal: maybe the internet first of all makes it at least 'possible' to get around or undermine that tendency... to poke holes in it (like the 9 seconds ;- )
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe it's the holes that are interesting! :)
Agatha Macbeth: Rather than what's around them

2010.06.13 08:00 - Guardian Session: Tangled Up in Bleu

Agatha Macbeth: Stopped into a Pagoda
Eliza Madrigal: I passed along the way...

Eliza Madrigal: I think we're gonna stay....
Agatha Macbeth: PaB dreaming on a wet summer's day

2010.06.13 19:00 - The Body In Question, Pt. 1

Mitzi Mimistrobell: A friend of mine joined the Peace Corps. In their training, they were warned to keep their expctations of accomplishing ANYTHING every low.
Calvino Rabeni: Calvino Rabeni pours a little red wine into the pool
Mitzi Mimistrobell: That they probably would not be able to accomplish anything at all that they envisioned.
Mitzi Mimistrobell: But, if they established a positive connection with a few people, that would be a really good thing and they should be very pleased.

Mitzi Mimistrobell: There are the eight directions as expressed in Martial Arts? Or is it in native American perspective? - adding "inside" and "outside"
Calvino Rabeni: When you have design forces of such very different strengths, they tend to segment the conceptual world into areas that are not seen as at all related
Mitzi Mimistrobell: Are you wanting to explore even additional aspects>
Calvino Rabeni: Yes, well Inside and Outside are an expression of the somatic structure of a Cell and its enclosing membrane
Calvino Rabeni: Or on another scale, the Earth and its surface, center, and distant reaches
Mitzi Mimistrobell: Yes, that's very significant. Self and Other would be one main way that's used psychologically.

2010.06.14 01:00 - The Body In Question, Pt. 2

Darren Islar: to me fear is a tension in mostly the upper part of my body
Darren Islar: that is my known fear
Darren Islar: the one I can work with
Calvino Rabeni: http://www.working-well.org/posture.html
Darren Islar: The unknown fear seems to be placed lower in the body
Calvino Rabeni: the unknown fear, usually is in the part of the body that one is not aware of

Eden Haiku: having fond memories of my uncle's farm when I was a kid.
Eden Haiku: Was a worshipper of cows even then...Their eyes are so quiet...

Eden Haiku: Loves the mist in the pond
Eden Haiku: On my first PaB session, Mick told me that we meditated when the mist appeared
so I was concentrating real hard not to miss it ;))

Eden Haiku: Picturing myself laying on the moss with my cat and iPad.
Eliza Madrigal: haha... paintings of our time will have computers and cell phones....
"girl lounging in hammock with ipod..."


Eden Haiku: It is not only funny it is also very beautiful Bleu with your avatars in blue playing maracas, it is gorgeous!
Bleu Oleander: it's like having my own greek chorus!

2010.06.15 07:00 - a Lei in Time

Riddle Sideways: I am alive... http://riddell-kaufman.com/
Riddle Sideways: a sample of what I did over weekend
Riddle Sideways: pushed out of a perfectly good plane
Riddle Sideways: not sure it was a birthday present to myself
Riddle Sideways: was not on the checklist of what to get done once before death
Riddle Sideways: skydiving is not really like flying

Yakuzza Lethecus wonders if checklists are any good
Riddle Sideways: checklists are probably bad

Riddle Sideways: a song from my youth said "I was so much older then, I'm younger then that now"

Riddle Sideways: you perceive them to not have morals
Riddle Sideways: so you slap your morals set into them
Riddle Sideways: enforcing your will is not any better then those who force their will upon you

Yakuzza Lethecus: so is it not morally correct to teach moral ?

Riddle Sideways: offering an open classroom
Riddle Sideways: where some can come in and sample your teaching, preaching, examples, etc.
Riddle Sideways: they are free to come and go
Riddle Sideways: you will not see immediate results
Riddle Sideways: years later, I might
Riddle Sideways: I might see you were right
Riddle Sideways: you might have changed my life
Riddle Sideways: you made a difference
Riddle Sideways: but, I think you will not know that
Riddle Sideways: not sure if Wester will know that the simple Lei made a difference
Riddle Sideways: not sure if telling you of skydiving makes any difference

2010.06.15 13:00 - Popper don't preach...

Agatha Macbeth: You seem the type to be a dreamer to me Bert ;-)
Bertram Jacobus: why do you think that agatha ? :-)
Agatha Macbeth: Just a hunch
Agatha Macbeth: As Quasimodo said
Wol Euler sighs
Bertram Jacobus: hm - what may make a dreamer, what are the qualities ?
Agatha Macbeth: Dreaming?
Agatha Macbeth: :)
Bertram Jacobus: and why does wol sigh (?!) :-)
Wol Euler: asking questions
Agatha Macbeth: Oh she does that all the time
Wol Euler: it's true
Wol Euler: but particularly when Aggers is airing out her old joke cupboard :-P
Bertram Jacobus: what is true ? that dreamers ask questions ?
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
SophiaSharon Larnia: to say somene is a dreamer, may say someone is someone is an idealist, I'm not saying thats what Agatha meant about you, Bert, but in general
Agatha Macbeth: Do they?
Agatha Macbeth: 'You may say I'm a dreamer'
SophiaSharon Larnia: um that came out funny sorry
Agatha Macbeth: But I'm not the only one
Myna Maven: Over the years, I've a few times been confronted (I think, somewhat scornfully) with the phrase, "Oh, an idealist!"
Myna Maven: I recollect the first time, how odd that seeemed.
SophiaSharon Larnia: or a dreamer could be someone looking at only certain aspects of reality
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe it's considered a crime to have ideas
Wol Euler: yeah
Agatha Macbeth: True Shaz, yes
Bleu Oleander: aspects of reality .... interesting phrase
SophiaSharon Larnia: yea awkward again, considering, what is reality anyway
Agatha Macbeth thinks of the phrase 'can of worms'
--BELL--
Bleu Oleander: saved by bell
2010.06.15 19:00 - Just Playing

Eos Amaterasu: thinking of watching babies recently.... learning to be through play
Eliza Madrigal: at Alia, Eos? do people bring children?
Eos Amaterasu: oh, on plane flight recently from London to Halifax, but also at ALIA, there were a couple of babies and other children
Eos Amaterasu: arms and hands moving, face and eyes moving
Eliza Madrigal: a baby's eyes seem to bring one directly to Being
Eliza Madrigal: just make everything else kind of fade for a moment
Eos Amaterasu: there's a kind of startled quality, almost "you're kidding me"
Eliza Madrigal: as though there is an else, I know... Still, there is an instantaneous kind of something
Eliza Madrigal: Kidding me? hehe
Eos Amaterasu wonders if there is an else
Paradise Tennant: like "I remember where I was before I got here .. but boy this is kind of weird :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)))
Paradise Tennant: then >> the explosion of joy at the whole appearance of toes !
Eos Amaterasu: maybe it's the basic epoché?
Paradise Tennant: like are they not just the greatest things
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, yes toes!
Eliza Madrigal considering
Eos Amaterasu: also the sensory/motor circuits are closing, and learning to open close; like, "I can make my toes appear"
 

Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.
