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!
