    The Guardian for this meeting was stevenaia Michinaga. The comments are by stevenaia Michinaga.

     

    stevenaia Michinaga: hello Eos
    Eos Amaterasu: hi Stevenaia
    stevenaia Michinaga: how are you this evening, it's quite wet here
    Eos Amaterasu: I'm well... and the wetness is approaching here (freezing rain)
    stevenaia Michinaga: Stay indoors if you can
    Eos Amaterasu: I shall :-)
    stevenaia Michinaga: what would you like to talk about this evening?
    Eos Amaterasu: hmm... ?
    stevenaia Michinaga: smile, I figure it would better than me trying to respond to the same question
    stevenaia Michinaga: was it a week (or two) ago that I was doing an IChing reading online, I should look, perhaps you were not here
    Eos Amaterasu: yes, I was there
    stevenaia Michinaga: I friday I received great news which was supriseingly in alignment with the reading


    --BELL--


    Eos Amaterasu: !congrats - what was it?!
    stevenaia Michinaga: looking, one moment
    Eos Amaterasu: as I recall the reading was very favourable
    stevenaia Michinaga: Great Harvest, Great Accumulation, I was selected for a rather rudimentry yet substantial project at a local University
    Eos Amaterasu: you get to ding the world :-)
    stevenaia Michinaga: in the end it will make many student's environment a better place to learn
    stevenaia Michinaga: I being a  surprise on my part  isn't really correct since it must have been inevitable, yet, you never know how the reading will make it's reflecting known

    Eos Amaterasu: it is a kind of reflecting
    stevenaia Michinaga: like the reflection of the great gravity wave recently discovered reflecting the big bang
    Eos Amaterasu: yes
    Eos Amaterasu: "inflation has sent us a telegram coded in gravitational waves & transcribed on the cosmic microwave background sky"
    stevenaia Michinaga: seems there are are always remnants of events out there waiting to be found or interpreted
    Eos Amaterasu: that one seems particularly sweet
    stevenaia Michinaga: some seem to appear before the event, other after, like when Luci dreamed of a great disaster the day before 9-11
    stevenaia Michinaga: it;s just a matter of knowing what you are looking at
    Eos Amaterasu: no kidding :-)
    stevenaia Michinaga: like intuition, we all ahve it, we can sharpen it, or ignore it, the capacity to see is within us all
    stevenaia Michinaga: it's nice to recognize that in yourself and other people, a warming feeling about the universe
    Eos Amaterasu: dropping layers and layers of overly thoughtful overlapping so that the real situation can be allowed to emerge.... including the future made obvious
    Eos Amaterasu: so what do you see, stevenaia?
    stevenaia Michinaga: clarity
    stevenaia Michinaga: trying in the wake of doubt


    --BELL--


    stevenaia Michinaga: dropping usually uncovers surprise
    Eos Amaterasu: you never know :-)
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, but it's always there to uncover
    Eos Amaterasu: so that's a kind of confidence, or energy
    stevenaia Michinaga: or understanding (knowledge
    Eos Amaterasu: that's great
    Eos Amaterasu: how to be a hero in the unknown, no credentials possible
    Eos Amaterasu: it's how little green buds poke out, and kid's eyes look out
    Eos Amaterasu: kids'
    Eos Amaterasu: of course the I Ching also dishes out the downsides
    stevenaia Michinaga: but with every up or down, there is a down or up of each reading
    Eos Amaterasu: sometimes contract, sometimes expand
    stevenaia Michinaga: yo one always follows the other like a cycle
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes
    Eos Amaterasu: it is not the down or the up that is the nameless path
    stevenaia Michinaga: nods
    Eos Amaterasu: that probably also relates to containers for learning (what this project is about?)
    stevenaia Michinaga: renovating many classrooms, the environments and technology
    Eos Amaterasu: in that regard, I'm looking forward to the opening of the new Halifax library in the fall
    Eos Amaterasu: designed with such considerations...
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    Eos Amaterasu: a "civic" space
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, libraries are changing
    Eos Amaterasu: I was told of a recent discovery/realization about cancer
    Eos Amaterasu: that cancerous cell behaviour happens when cells escape their normal environment/container
    Eos Amaterasu: so you can undo this...."She then introduces a containing matrix to runaway cells and they return to non-malignant state."
    stevenaia Michinaga: hmmm
    Eos Amaterasu: enfolded by a caring system


    --BELL--


    Eos Amaterasu: and then by coincidence I saw Pete Seeger's guitar:
    Eos Amaterasu: https://twitter.com/stevesilberman/status/428205852177076224
    Eos Amaterasu: the power of container principle
    stevenaia Michinaga: banjo
    stevenaia Michinaga: :
    stevenaia Michinaga: 0
    Eos Amaterasu: banjo, I mean
    Eos Amaterasu: "this machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender" (written around the banjo)
    stevenaia Michinaga: I remember reading that recently
    Eos Amaterasu: also reminds me of a classic Aikido move
    Eos Amaterasu: where when a move is made toward you
    Eos Amaterasu: you go forward toward it but slightly to the side
    Eos Amaterasu: and then embrace your opponent from behind
    stevenaia Michinaga: Eos, I must go now, thanks for joining me
    Eos Amaterasu: thanks, stevenaia - I will also retire
    Eos Amaterasu: good night!
