@AirplaneMeditators - A monk came onboard and sat in the very next seat. Thought that this will be so great. Five hours to ask all those questions, really hope he speaks English. He said Hello, settled into the seat, buckled up and went deeply silently away. Stayed calm and vacant for the entire trip. - Riddle
Maxine Walden: as Pema has said 'What does it mean for you, concretely, to try to briefly drop what you have (in terms of identifications, beliefs, whatever you normally rely on) and to be naked of any reference points, for at least a short while? How does that feel? Could that tell you anything about what you/we really are?
Eos Amaterasu: Well, becoming more aware of my story line
Eos Amaterasu: shifts that awaring beyond it, both before and after it, in a way
Eos Amaterasu: there's a kind of wondrous and lost feeling to that
Eos Amaterasu: open and unknowing
Eos Amaterasu: ronin of awaring
Eos Amaterasu: each moment is a challenge that way
Eos Amaterasu: if I remember :-)
Eos Amaterasu: or let the forgetting light up
Eos Amaterasu: especially here in SL there's a heightened experience of that
Eos Amaterasu: because who-I-am-ing is so much more obviously a play

Eos Amaterasu: Play as Being Self exercise currently being played, with lots of perhaps dubious alts around
Eos Amaterasu: seems to be our Play of that
Eos Amaterasu: within some kind of bigger humour

“Your head's like mine, like all our heads; big enough to contain every god and devil there ever was. Big enough to hold the weight of oceans and the turning stars. Whole universes fit in there! But what do we choose to keep in this miraculous cabinet? Little broken things, sad trinkets that we play with over and over. The world turns our key and we play the same little tune again and again and we think that tune's all we are.”
― Grant Morrison
