Table of contents
No headersThe Guardian for this meeting was Eden Haiku. The comments are by Eden Haiku who was joined by Bleu, Eliza, Yakuzza, Pema, Susan (iwandertoo), Zen, Agatha, Archmage, stevenaia, Aphrodite and Bertrum. Eliza kindly handed out notes to latecomers so I could continue unraveling my Egyptian tales ;-)
Bleu Oleander: hi ((((( Eden )))))
Eden Haiku: Hi ((((BLeu)))
Bleu Oleander: hi Eliza :)
Eliza Madrigal: Morning lovely beings
Eden Haiku: ((((ELiza))))
Eliza Madrigal: ((((((Eden)))))))) (((((((Bleu))))))
Eliza Madrigal: You both look so wonderfully dramatic today
Bleu Oleander: lovely beings .... yes! ((((( hugs to you both)))))
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Yaku :) ((((( )))))
Eden Haiku: loves these friendly lovely hugs
Bleu Oleander: hey Yaku :)
Eden Haiku: ((((Yakuzza))))
Eden Haiku: Thank you to the three of us for filling in for me on the last 3 Mondays. Yaku, I was just reading the log you posted :-)
Eliza Madrigal watching Eden's sparkles
Eliza Madrigal: Most welcome :)
--BELL--
Bleu Oleander: it was not the same without you!
Eden Haiku: I'm processing energies and sensations from my initiatic journey into Egypt, I might emanate like a sparkling plug yes :-)
Eliza Madrigal: indeed not the same, but fun to be seat warmers and feel part of the adventure somehow
Eden Haiku: So many times during the trip, I had the feeling I was in Second Life...
Eliza Madrigal: It was just too fantastical to be 'real' you mean?
Eden Haiku: In a way yes. All the pretty things like in SL, the flowering trees, the cute little bridges over the turquoise swimmimg pools.
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eden Haiku: The quiet also. There were almost no tourists in Egypt. Sad for them.
Eliza Madrigal: am sure it will build up over time again
Eden Haiku: And also all these winged creatures in temples, on the walls, all these weird beings in visions.
Isis's gift of reading what's real
Bleu Oleander: did you visit Philae temple of Isis?
Eden Haiku: Seeing between the worlds...
Bleu Oleander: one of my favorite places I went to in Egypt
Eliza Madrigal smiles at weird beings, imagining, listening
Bleu Oleander: http://www.philae.nu/akhet/PhilaeAsettemple.html
Eden Haiku: Yes, it was my second time in Philae. This time much more profound. Went thru the 12 chambers of Isis. The assignment was to find out what was our shadow, what was our tool.
Bleu Oleander: wow, wonderful
Eden Haiku: My shadow came to me in a sandalwoodscented chamber:imagination. Sometimes not knowing the limits of it.
Eliza Madrigal: mmmmm
Eden Haiku: But then, as I stepped into a chamber overlooking the Nile
Pema Pera: Hi Eden, and everybody!
Eden Haiku: with birds flying in just like Pema just did :-) Hi Pëma;-)
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Pema :) We're listening to Eden's Egyptian Tales :)
Pema Pera: Great to see you again, Eden, welcome back!
Bleu Oleander: hi Pema :)
Pema Pera: (don't let me interrupt)
Yakuzza Lethecus: morning pema
Eden Haiku: Thank you Pema...
Yakuzza Lethecus: evening
Pema Pera: :)
Eden Haiku: And looking at the beautiful hieroglyphs engraved on the stone wallls
Bleu Oleander: the light was fantastic there
Eden Haiku: I became clear that my tool is "to read the reality". It came in French and there is a nuance I cannot quite convey...
Eden Haiku: In French there is "le réel" (masculine word) which is different from "la réalité: (feminine world). One is more abstract.
Eden Haiku: At the last initiation, it became clear that I have the capacity to read both: the day to day one, the deepest abstract one. It was soooo inspiring for my writing!
Eden Haiku: Welcome Zen!
Eliza Madrigal: How wonderful :))
Gliding on the blue waters of the Nile
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Zen
Bleu Oleander: hi Zen, Susan :)
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Susan :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey zen and susan
Eliza Madrigal: I'll give you both notes
Eden Haiku: Isis temple corresponds to the hara, the dragon of fire. Egypt is like a whole body deployed from Aswan to Abydos along the Nile [not so sure of that anymore.Confused things up, sorry :-)This egyptian archeologist knows better: http://bit.ly/jRkky3]
Eden Haiku: Hello Susan!
Eden Haiku: Thank you Eliza.
Bleu Oleander remembers a wonderful felucca ride on the Nile in Aswan
Eden Haiku: Ah yes, that's so gentle isn'it Bleu, gliding on the blue waters?
Bleu Oleander: magical experience!
--BELL--
Zen Arado: Hi all
Bleu Oleander: hi Zen
Eden Haiku: There was an 11 year old little girl on the trip and she kept crawling on my knees to play with my iPad. We shooted a funny little video with it, I will post it on my guardian pages [maybe not as I would need to ask her Mom's permission first]
Bleu Oleander: :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)) what an experience for an 11yo
Eliza Madrigal: for any year old :))
Eden Haiku: Hello Zen. I realize I greeted you when you connected but weren't here in person yet. Losing my SL manners hehe
Eden Haiku: Yes, little girl was bringing much love and lightness into the journey.
Zen Arado: I'm getting so predictable
Zen Arado: :)
Eden Haiku: At the end, she wrote notes thanking us for giving her so much love. I was moved to tears.
Eliza Madrigal smiles
In the land of the Pharaohs
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Agatha :))
Agatha Macbeth: Afternoon all :)
Bleu Oleander: hi Aggers
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Zen Arado: Hi Aga
Agatha Macbeth waves to Mr Observer
Eden Haiku: Agathita!!! How nice to see you in a morning session!
Zen Arado: bank holiday
Agatha Macbeth: It isn't morning :p
Agatha Macbeth: for me
Eden Haiku: Ah Mr Observerm is still there... Is it the witness in each of us?
Agatha Macbeth: The silent watcher
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Arch :)
Agatha Macbeth: Love your wings Edie
Eden Haiku: Ah yes, you are afternoon Agatha, right ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Arch
Agatha Macbeth: Yep
Bleu Oleander: hi Arch
Zen Arado: Hi Arch
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Eden Haiku: After seeing so many blue winged creatures on ceilings, I feel like one ;-)
Archmage Atlantis: Hey
Eliza Madrigal: I'll give you notes, Arch and Aggers, one sec... Eden has been sharing her magical adventure
Agatha Macbeth: Oooh
Eden Haiku: Oh hello Koya and Arch!
Pema Pera: (alas, have to make sure to go to bed before midnight; business trip early tomorrow morning -- but so good to see you again, Eden! Will read the rest in the log -- bfn!)
Agatha Macbeth: I could just read the log and save you the trouble Liz :)
Zen Arado: in the land of the Pharaohs
Bleu Oleander: bye Pema :)
Agatha Macbeth: Sayonara Pem
Zen Arado: nite Pema
Archmage Atlantis: And there goes Pema
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Eliza Madrigal: Night Pema :)
Pema Pera waves to all :-)
Agatha Macbeth: Thx Liz
Eden Haiku: We were travelling with a channeler. He channels some French alchemist of the 18th century who knows quite a lot about Egypt.
Archmage Atlantis: Never stays for the hard stuff
Archmage Atlantis: Always a runner
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Aph :)
Eden Haiku: The channeler grew up on the same street where I grew up and I knew him as a kid of 5 when I was 10. So I trust him.
Bleu Oleander: hi Aph :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Stevie :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Aph
Eden Haiku: He's a very simple man also. I like that.
Aphrodite Macbain: Hello everyone. den-lovely wings
stevenaia Michinaga: waves
Aphrodite Macbain: Eden
Eden Haiku: hello Steve!
Eden Haiku: Aphrodite!
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Agatha Macbeth: Hello steve
Eliza Madrigal: My goodness Eden :) We are flocking to hear from you today :D
Zen Arado: Hi Aph, Steve
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Zen. Yes, please tell all Eden
Eliza Madrigal: to sit under your great wings and hear stories :)
Eden Haiku: Yes, I feel privileged to have such a big group of people.
Eden Haiku: Thank you for listening, that's so sweet.
Agatha Macbeth: We want to hear that's why :)
Bleu Oleander: hi steve :)
Eden Haiku: We were travelling from magnetic field to magnetic field along the Nile.
stevenaia Michinaga: hi Bleu
Eliza Madrigal: Is the group an 'empathic' group, Eden?
Aphrodite Macbain: Oh! How were you able to identify the magnetic fields?
Eden Haiku: Egypt has traces from other humanities before ours.
Agatha Macbeth: Mr O seems laggy today :p
Eden Haiku: It's kind of obvious once you know it.
Aphrodite Macbain: other civilizations?
Archmage Atlantis: Atlantis has older patterns, predating Egypt
Eden Haiku: Memories of Atlantis and Lemuria, others, even more antique.
Aphrodite Macbain: ah
Eden Haiku: Hi Observerm, please sit with us, we would be honoured.
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Archmage Atlantis: Yes, agree, Eden
Agatha Macbeth: Sadly we have no record of their existence...
Archmage Atlantis: They are memes in the scientific world
Aphrodite Macbain: reproductions?
Eden Haiku: Yes, other civilizations, other humanities even. In touch with beings from Orion and Sirius, other dimensions also.
Archmage Atlantis: Genes in the biologic world
Archmage Atlantis: Yes, I agree with Eden
Archmage Atlantis: Chester is coming to me next Sunday
Bleu Oleander: sounds very inspiring for your writings
Agatha Macbeth: Chester?
Eliza Madrigal: yes very much so
Aphrodite Macbain: who is Chester?
Eden Haiku: Once you look at the frescoes or the giant statues with that knowledge, everything settles like in a puzzle.
Archmage Atlantis: He is a rescue cat, a Bengal
Agatha Macbeth: Aww, sweet
Agatha Macbeth meeows
Aphrodite Macbain: a Bengali tiger?
--BELL--
Agatha Macbeth: Tiggers are wonderful things
Archmage Atlantis: I hope not, tho I like tigers
Archmage Atlantis: He is a human cat, bred like my Nimbus is bred
Archmage Atlantis: of the wild and the domestic
Archmage Atlantis: There is a new breed
Archmage Atlantis: Past the Savanahs
Archmage Atlantis: A Toyer
Eliza Madrigal: Nice, Arch :)
A new form for a new world
Eden Haiku: Yes Bleu, inspiring. I had many revelations in a way. The challenge now is to find the new form to convey the new world that is coming.
Agatha Macbeth: Interesting
Eliza Madrigal: Eden, were there moments where it seemed like you were operating in/on different levels at once, harmoniously, and as a group?
Bleu Oleander: did you go to the very old step pyramid built at Saqqara?
Eden Haiku: Yes, harmony was essential for the channeler and his supporting team (there was also his publisher, a camera crew for the DVD, someone for logistics and his assistant)
Eliza Madrigal: ah, didn't realize
Eliza Madrigal: a new form, how interesting...
Archmage Atlantis: I commanded that the pyramids be built......I did not command human sacrifice
Archmage Atlantis: Nor the sacrifice of animals
Eden Haiku: Yes we started with Saqqara Bleu. The channeller had us circle the pyramid three times then meditate in front of it and project ourselves virtually into it.
Aphrodite Macbain: who is "i"?
Bleu Oleander: nice Eden :)
Archmage Atlantis: I suppose I am a pathelogic type, narcissitic perhaps
Bleu Oleander: nearly 5,000 years old, yes?
Eden Haiku: I found myself as a slim long out of this world being falling down a tunnel in a city of pyramids under the pyramid.
Archmage Atlantis: Older, Eden
Archmage Atlantis: Older that life
Eden Haiku: Later, the channeler told us there are vast libraries in the underworld of Saqqara with knowledge from ancient humanities on golden discs.
Archmage Atlantis: In the beginning there was no form, only void
Archmage Atlantis: A pattern formed
Eden Haiku: And that it will come to be discovered by the Egyptians in a near future.
Agatha Macbeth: I've heard similar things about Giza too
Archmage Atlantis: It knew it was a new element
Archmage Atlantis: It was Life
Archmage Atlantis: It would make mistakes
Eliza Madrigal: I'm so fascinated to hear how you'll write about this Eden
Eden Haiku: I always checked what he said with what I experimented and it fitted. It also fitted my first experience in Egypt in 1983.
Eden Haiku: Yes, it's quite a challenge Eliza. I really have to create new forms.
Agatha Macbeth: Morphogenesis
A balancing act of imagination
Eliza Madrigal: and balance the shadow of imagination and ability to read real :)
Eliza Madrigal: real/s?
Agatha Macbeth: Real gone kid
Eden Haiku: How do you share mutidimensional experiences in a 2D words world?
Eliza Madrigal: yes!
Agatha Macbeth: Same as in a3D one?
Agatha Macbeth: :)
Bleu Oleander: the mind translates
Eden Haiku: Yes, exactly, my imagination can carry me away. I have to find a way to tame it.
Agatha Macbeth: I know the problem :p
Eliza Madrigal: :)))
Bleu Oleander: no Eden ... let it go :)
Eden Haiku: I had quite an experience about my ability to "read the reality" in the Great Pyramid.
Eliza Madrigal listens with rapt attention
Archmage Atlantis: Trying not to love you, but you don't make it easy Babe.....
Archmage Atlantis: Gotta go
Eden Haiku: You think so Bleu? You do not see imagination as a problem sometimes?
Agatha Macbeth: Take care Arch
Eden Haiku: Bye Arch:)
Bleu Oleander: have never thought of imagination as a problem ... see it more as a gift
Yakuzza Lethecus: bye arch
Agatha Macbeth: It can be a two-edged sword Bleu
Eden Haiku: We were all sitting in the chamber of the King. The channeller started getting into trance.
Agatha Macbeth: (in my opinion)
Eden Haiku: He started saying something about pure love of the 5th dimension
Bleu Oleander: haven't experienced that Aggers
Eliza Madrigal: pure love, hmmm
Eden Haiku: Ah maybe I told that story already at the guardians session, did I?
Agatha Macbeth: Everyone is different :)
Eliza Madrigal: you said the phrase...
Eliza Madrigal: but would love to hear the story :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Bertrum
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Bertrum :)
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Bert
Bertrum Resident: hi everyone
Eden Haiku: Well, at some point the guardian flashed his flashlight in the face of the channeler.
Bleu Oleander: hi Bert :)
Eden Haiku: I looked up and understood the he wanted some money for us to keep going (backshish they call it).
Eden Haiku: But it's dangerous for the channeler to be awakened abruptly.
Agatha Macbeth nods
Zen Arado: Hi Bert :)
Eden Haiku: Nobody knew what to do, even his assistant.
Eden Haiku: hello Bert!
--BELL--
Eden Haiku: So I stood up, took the guardian apart, whispered to him he would get money from the man who took care of logistics.
Eden Haiku: He apparently got a satisfying amount beacuse he ended up hugging us all :-))
Eliza Madrigal: hehehe
Agatha Macbeth: Sweet
Eden Haiku: About imagination Bleu and Agatha, I think Bleu might be completely at ease with imagination because she's very grounded. She works with matter, painting, colors, materials. I'm not so grounded. I have to work on that aspect of grounding so my imagimnation can fly freely.
Agatha Macbeth: Me too :P
Eden Haiku: Ah, I see ;-)
Agatha Macbeth grins
Eliza Madrigal: That makes such sense... yes as my meme worked in the gardens
Eden Haiku: The journey was very balanced that way: we had time to swim, did exercises in the morning etc...
Bleu Oleander: ah, but the "soul" of an artist is abstact imagination :)
stevenaia Michinaga: time to go, thanks for the morning warmth
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Bleu Oleander: not about the paint and the matter
Agatha Macbeth: Bye Steve
Zen Arado: bye Steve
Eden Haiku: Working in a garden is a marvelous way to stay in touch with the earth, yes Eliza.
Eliza Madrigal: Bye for now Stevie lovely gown!
Bertrum Resident: bye Steve
Eden Haiku: By Steve, you walk in a funny way ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Aos eh?
Eliza Madrigal: :) Bleu
Eden Haiku: I know Bleu, but the fact that you have to handle the matter makes imnagination less trouble maybe?
Aphrodite Macbain: Dress is too tight?
Bleu Oleander: imagination is like flight ... it just takes off
Eden Haiku: I invoked Maat, goddess of 'the right way' ('justesse' in french) so she can help me see the fine line between wild creatures of imagination and real visions of other worlds.
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Eden Haiku: Listening to Bleu with wide ears...
Agatha Macbeth loves 'wide ears'
Eden Haiku: maybe I shouldn't guard myself so much, just fly as you say...
Bleu Oleander: we use matter to try to express imagination, but pales by comparison
Eden Haiku: sorry for all my enthusiastic typos this morning...
Eliza Madrigal loves enthusiastic typos
Aphrodite Macbain: they are creative and lovely like your stories
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Eliza Madrigal: I find distinctions difficult in both writing and painting... tend to mix everything together so can understand envoking a line drawer :)
Eden Haiku: Bleu has a lot to reveal in that respect I think. I'm all ears Bleu ;-)
Eliza Madrigal looks for big ears in her inventory
Agatha Macbeth: He's with Noddy
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eden Haiku: Just by seeing you create with so much pleasure and success, I can tell you are fearless Bleu.
Bleu Oleander: haha, can only speak from my own experience
Bleu Oleander: fearless imagination :)
Eden Haiku: I guess I still have some wounds to heal from the past so I can soar with open wings into this new world opening up.
Agatha Macbeth: Your wings look pretty good to me :)
Bleu Oleander: I've mentioned this movie before? 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly'?
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, yes marvelous film
Eden Haiku: No. What is it about?
Bleu Oleander: soring imagination
Aphrodite Macbain: wonderful - a whole new way of seeing the world
Bleu Oleander: oh you should see it Eden
--BELL--
Aphrodite Macbain silently flies away home to feed the cats
Agatha Macbeth: Fly well Aph
Eliza Madrigal silently waves bye to Aph
Zen Arado: slips away
Eden Haiku: I will, sure! Hope I can find it on iTunes or Netflix. Bye bye Aph!
Zen Arado: bye
Bleu Oleander: netflix has it
Eden Haiku: Great!
Eden Haiku: What do you say Eliza, do you see imagination as a pitfall sometimes? Oh sorry, was talking on the bell...
Eliza Madrigal: Hm... it is a wonderfully complex matter for me :)
Eliza Madrigal: Imagination is both a fantastic source
Eliza Madrigal: but also yes,something that confuses at times :)
Eliza Madrigal: when trying to relate to others I suppose
Eliza Madrigal: if it is woven through everything
Eliza Madrigal: which it is
Eliza Madrigal: :D
Bleu Oleander: it's an ability of the mind that can like everything be used for good or bad
Eden Haiku: True
Agatha leaves us with a wonderful quote
Agatha Macbeth: 'Inasmuch as the mind creates the world of appearances, it can create any particular object desired. The process consists of giving palpable being to a visualization, in very much the same manner as an architect gives concrete expression in three dimensions to his abstract concepts after first having given them expression in the two-dimensions of his blue-print. The Tibetans call the One Mind's concretized visualization the Khorva (Hkhorva), equivalent to the Sanskrit Sangsara; that of an incarnate deity, like the Dalai or Tashi Lama, they call a Tul-ku (Sprul-sku), and that of a magician a Tul-pa (Sprul-pa), meaning a magically produced illusion or creation. A master of yoga can dissolve a Tul-pa as readily as he can create it; and his own illusory human body, or Tul-ku, he can likewise dissolve, and thus outwit Death. Sometimes, by means of this magic, one human form can be amalgamated with another, as in the instance of the wife of Marpa, guru of Milarepa, who ended her life by incorporating herself in the
Agatha Macbeth: body of Marpa."[3]
Agatha Macbeth: On that thought I shall leave you: take care
Bleu Oleander: but the ability itself is a magical gift and I wouldn't trade it for anything
Yakuzza Lethecus: bye everyone
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Bleu Oleander: bye
Bertrum Resident: Bye Yaki
Eliza Madrigal: Bye Yaku
Eliza Madrigal: Agreed Bleu....
Eden Haiku: Thank you for that great quote Agatha. Have a nice day!
Eliza Madrigal: there is quote that without imagination there would be life, but maybe not worth living
Eden Haiku: Bye Yaku!
Eliza Madrigal: however I'm not sure there would be life :)
Bleu Oleander: exactly Eliza
Bleu Oleander: many beings have life, but may not have imagination
The numb and the dark places
Eliza Madrigal: was thinking about Storm's vision for instance, and about an interview with the sculptor whose work in on the Met that you mentioned...
Eliza Madrigal: about how in sculpture one has to get up and see from all angles
Eliza Madrigal: even the hidden ones have to be taken in
Bleu Oleander: oh yes
Eliza Madrigal: the numb and dark places
Eliza Madrigal: shadows :)
Eden Haiku: Yes, the numb and dark places taken in too, something like that, yes...
Eliza Madrigal: so to write sculpture perhaps, Eden?
Eden Haiku: Writing like sculpting yes ;-)
Bleu Oleander: yes, lovely Eliza
Eden Haiku: Brother coming in, will be a bit distracted sorry...
Eliza Madrigal: :)) Yes, I should go.... dealing with a head cold unfortunately
Bleu Oleander: have to go .... take care all
Bleu Oleander: feel better Eliza
Eliza Madrigal: but didn't want to miss your first session back
Eliza Madrigal: :)) Thanks everyone
Eliza Madrigal: Hugs, bye Bleu :)
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Eden Haiku: Let us talk abbout imagination some more some other trime Bleu, that would be enlightening! And Eliza too! Maybe a theme session sometime?
Eliza Madrigal: Waves to Susan :)) nice to see you on holiday
