Eliza Madrigal: I had a little extra christmas season work too, but it set all of regular "to do" things off pace
Agatha Macbeth: Yes indeed
Agatha Macbeth: Nothing is normal at this time of year
Eliza Madrigal: PW IS irritating, but that's why I thought it would be so over the top as to be a great accompaniment with teens in the house. Grace Jones even makes an appearance

Mickorod Renard: ha ha ,,ty
Eliza Madrigal: great, Mick
Agatha Macbeth: Hey I just remembered it's Thursday!
Agatha Macbeth: Woohoo
Mickorod Renard: this was very odd,,i havnt typed it up
Mickorod Renard: shall i do a quick recall?
Eliza Madrigal: so just type it out
Mickorod Renard: ok
 

Mick's dream...

Mickorod Renard: I was a young boy
Agatha Macbeth: Go for it Mick
Mickorod Renard: about 11 or so
Mickorod Renard: in afge
Mickorod Renard: and it was during ww2
Mickorod Renard: I was english but somewhere I had ben caught up in germany
Mickorod Renard: I was staying as a guest with some high up nazi
Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
Mickorod Renard: in some mountain retreat area
Aphrodite Macbain wonders whether Mick has been looking at old movies
Mickorod Renard: the dress was lederhausen or something,,leather shorts
Mickorod Renard: and the place was so authentic
Mickorod Renard: anyways
Mickorod Renard: i had some wooden tablets
Mickorod Renard: that had sort of writing on them
Mickorod Renard: made out of wood like cigar boxeds were made of
Mickorod Renard: the writing was like burned on
Aphrodite Macbain: did they speak German?
Mickorod Renard: i wanted to leave but it was unwise
Mickorod Renard: no remeber talk
Mickorod Renard: but I would try and rub off the writing

--BELL--

Mickorod Renard: and as the war closed towards an end I tried harder and harder to rub off the writing
Mickorod Renard: ,,that was about it
Agatha Macbeth: 'Closed toward an end' - I like that :p
Mickorod Renard: it seemed to me that i had to make myself guilty to live there in safety but it was contrary to my beliefs
Mickorod Renard: and as it looked as if I would be going home I had to clease my guilt
Mickorod Renard: voila

Eliza Madrigal: stay only as hidden as you need to
Mickorod Renard: yes
Agatha Macbeth: Well that's interesting
Mickorod Renard: he he
Eliza Madrigal: I think about questions like this a lot
Mickorod Renard: yes?
Aphrodite Macbain: wow
Mickorod Renard: me too
Eliza Madrigal: if I were born in such and such circumstances, etc
Aphrodite Macbain: stay only as hidden as you need to .... interesting concept
Eliza Madrigal: the extent to which I was and knowledge comes to reveal difficult choices
Mickorod Renard: yes, like in the middle east.....might have to pretend to be muslim or something
Eliza Madrigal: kids have t make choices like that all the time, loyalties and dependencies
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Aphrodite Macbain: pretending...
Agatha Macbeth: Any idea what kind of writing it was Mick?
Mickorod Renard: some do it for life saving reasons,,but others for profit
Eliza Madrigal: can't afford to know
Aphrodite Macbain: pretending and maybe hiding

Mickorod Renard: well,,there wasnt hardly any writing and none I could quote,,but the sense was that it was my concience,,and that I had to give false concience
Mickorod Renard: or else be sent to a camp or death
Eliza Madrigal: false conscience ... what an idea
Agatha Macbeth: Wow
Agatha Macbeth: Pseudo Jiminy Cricket
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: Jimini junebug
Aphrodite Macbain: what do you think it was really about Mick?
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe
Mickorod Renard: tsk loomiing may have provoked it
Agatha Macbeth: Buona sera Qt :)

Mickorod Renard: and core beliefs
Aphrodite Macbain: a task looming?
Mickorod Renard: I have no awareness of conflict
Eliza Madrigal: time space knowledge sessions
Aphrodite Macbain: ah yes
Mickorod Renard: and see tsk as an oportunity to expand my observational abilities
Eliza Madrigal nods
Aphrodite Macbain: tsk tsk
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal: that's a good way to look at it Mick
Eliza Madrigal: not about beliefs

Mickorod Renard: and as such I would find anything more iluminated afterwards
Eliza Madrigal: What was that sign you guys found on the wall in Malta?
Mickorod Renard: but i do fear
Eliza Madrigal: fear?
Agatha Macbeth: No parking?
Eliza Madrigal listens and stops typing so immediately
Mickorod Renard: sorry,,it ws part of what i was going to say but has no relevance
Mickorod Renard: he he
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Eliza Madrigal: don't tie yourself down to relevance or else we all have to, haha
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)

Agatha Macbeth: Your head seems to be a pretty amazing place to explore Mick

Mickorod Renard: he he
Eliza Madrigal giggles
Mickorod Renard: the sign in Malta?
Aphrodite Macbain: Maltese cross?
Eliza Madrigal: yes... there was a Tarthang Tulku quote about beliefs
Agatha Macbeth: Like an atiic with amazing things hidden away
Mickorod Renard: ahh
Aphrodite Macbain: inside and under things
Agatha Macbeth: Maltese cross?
Eliza Madrigal: that was there... was quite a synchronicity if I remember

Mickorod Renard: I think there was alot of syncronocity there
Mickorod Renard: the place was operated by an ex Jesuit
Agatha Macbeth: Erk
Aphrodite Macbain: there you go!
Eliza Madrigal: hahha
Mickorod Renard: but he catered for all folks and belief systems to hold meets there
Agatha Macbeth: Didn't Lia find a cellar in Malta or something?
Aphrodite Macbain enjoys the fact that she is eating a cookie exactly in time with Aggers
Agatha Macbeth: Cookie sunc
Eliza Madrigal giggles
Agatha Macbeth: sync*
Agatha Macbeth: Even
Mickorod Renard: Lia found a celar in her head,,and we all visited one afterwards in our own heads
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: synk sank sunc
Agatha Macbeth: Ahhh right
Aphrodite Macbain: we did?
Agatha Macbeth: Inremember something about her going down some steps
Mickorod Renard: he he ,,those at the retreat
Eliza Madrigal: stairway of heads
Aphrodite Macbain: omg
Mickorod Renard: me too
Agatha Macbeth: (Erk my keyboard is having a breakdown)
Mickorod Renard: it was an exercise
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Mickorod Renard: the idea was to descend steps
Agatha Macbeth: I remember the cellar but not the context
Mickorod Renard: i went down some spiral stone ones

--BELL--

Aphrodite Macbain: to go down into the earth?
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: Subterranean descent...now there's a topic
Aphrodite Macbain: to find your subconscious self
Mickorod Renard: and eventually came to the end,,but it carried on sucking me along and I ended up being spat out as matter into another universe
Mickorod Renard: like a rebirth
Agatha Macbeth: Oh my
Mickorod Renard: or rather,,maybe sprm eggs
Agatha Macbeth: Sperm eggs?
Mickorod Renard: or whatever,,if u catch my drift
Mickorod Renard: something that would make a new creation
Agatha Macbeth: Think maybe I missed that one
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Agatha Macbeth: Gotcha
Agatha Macbeth: (I think)
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Mickorod Renard: he he
Eliza Madrigal: re-creation
Agatha Macbeth reads up
Mickorod Renard: but i cant remember what others came up with
Aphrodite Macbain: speggs
Mickorod Renard: speggs sounds good
Mickorod Renard: and also my memory may have altered it

Agatha Macbeth: I definitely remember Lia saying something about it, but can't recall what it was...will have to re study the logs
Aphrodite Macbain: nice Christmas angel on the fountain!
Eliza Madrigal: I just think it is beautiful to have so much trust that you all went into that kind of sally together
Agatha Macbeth: Awww yes
Eliza Madrigal: ty Aph :) A friend gave this to me a few years ago
Eliza Madrigal: first time she's been out to play
Aphrodite Macbain: I dont think I was here when Lia was here

Mickorod Renard: interesting concept
Eliza Madrigal: there is one meditation in TSK that is about "feeding space into space"
Mickorod Renard: yes
Mickorod Renard: I am sort of looking forward to tsk ..and looking at the mails I think a few are too
