Aphrodite Macbain: OK thanks

Santoshima Resident: Pila wrote: 

Pila Mulligan: what seems to occupy a lot of conversation at PaB and elsewhere in SL treats Eastern practices as a philosophy – and that is of course what much of it is, but is more too – it is a science, and dwells a great deal on physiology...
Aphrodite Macbain: listens
Aphrodite Macbain: physiology?
Santoshima Resident: as in "experiential"
Santoshima Resident: typo there

Santoshima Resident: delete the "i"
Santoshima Resident: the 2nd one
Santoshima Resident: oh, n type

Editor scratches head, looks for i's and n's

Aphrodite Macbain: :-)Physiology (play /ˌfɪziˈɒlədʒi/) is the science of the function of living systems. This includes how organisms, organ systems, organs, cells, and bio-molecules carry out the chemical or physical functions that exist in a living system.
Aphrodite Macbain: is that what you were going to say?
Santoshima Resident: no, but the dictionary definition says so
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: so he's saying it is as much about the physical as the philosophical
Santoshima Resident: living systems, yes
Santoshima Resident: living practices based in experience
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Aphrodite Macbain: good. I didn' t know that
Aphrodite Macbain: not just theoretical?
Paradise Tennant: smiles they are interesting sessions
Aphrodite Macbain: Both you and Stevenaia attend them dont you?
Paradise Tennant: always find when you meditate on it .. there is a lot of depth to it . sort of takes you by surprise
Paradise Tennant: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: Is it like a starting point for thinking about things?
Santoshima Resident: ?
Paradise Tennant: sorry getting sleepy here so going to have to say good night .. still have a few chores to do :)
Santoshima Resident: nite paradise
Aphrodite Macbain: Steve mentioned to me that when he has a decison to make he often throws the IChing
Paradise Tennant: yes it shines a light on your question that throws into relief
Paradise Tennant: a different perspective
Paradise Tennant: a different way to look at it :)
stevenaia Michinaga: Aph, I have an extra copy of one book (Wilhelm/Baynes) I could send you, although Pila assisited in the writing of a differently one (Alfred Huang)
Aphrodite Macbain: note Paradise dormez bien
