    The Guardian for this meeting was Adams Rubble. The comments are by Adams Rubble.

     
    Riddle and I talked about anger interfering with practice and had some light play inspired by inventories.
     

    Adams Rubble: Hello Riddle :)
    Riddle Sideways: Howdee Adams ㋡
    Riddle Sideways: for some reason, not much sleep last night
    Adams Rubble: awww :)
    Riddle Sideways: many little snippett dreams
    Riddle Sideways: look at clock and it has changed by 11 minutes
    Adams Rubble: clocks in bedrooms can be deadly
    --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: sometimes ㋡
    Adams Rubble: so many people having sleeping issues during this time
    Riddle Sideways: now that it is lighter earlier maybe will turn it away
    Adams Rubble: I have been doing well the past week
    Riddle Sideways: good
    Riddle Sideways: every other night is good then bad
    Adams Rubble: ohhh
    Riddle Sideways: hmmm, not a pattern, nope nope

    Bleu has a rabbit sitting next to one of the cushions

    Adams Rubble: I think that rabbit really likes you :)
    Riddle Sideways: just checked the darn wrist tech and it agrees with wakeful cycles
    Riddle Sideways: was thinking that too, I like the rabbit
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Adams Rubble: I have been doing the space exercises before trying to sleep
    Riddle Sideways: you have been sitting on same cushion for your sessions for some time
    Adams Rubble: yes, I like this cushion
    Riddle Sideways: almost sit on the other side of you, but need to be by the bunny
    Adams Rubble: you like to move around for your sessions
    Riddle Sideways: ok, the bunny and I are listening now
    Riddle Sideways: Space
    Adams Rubble: this morning I woke up thinking about the space my sockets reside in
    Adams Rubble: when I was looking
    Adams Rubble: I have an achilles heel
    Riddle Sideways: eye sockets? joints? memory foam?
    Adams Rubble: driving a car
    Riddle Sideways: ouch
    Adams Rubble: it distrurbs my peaceful demeanor
    Riddle Sideways: bet it does

    Tilopa

    Adams Rubble: last night I was thinking of Tilopa's words

    Adams Rubble: Don't recall
    Adams Rubble: Don'e imagine (the futrue)
    Riddle Sideways: might be good practuce

    Driving without anger. Long after the session I was thinking about mixing space exercises with driving to make it less personal

    Adams Rubble: My Buddhist teacher I went to locally for a year or so used to tell us to imagine other drivers were our mothers in past lives
    Adams Rubble: I had lots of bad driving mothers
    Adams Rubble giggles
    Riddle Sideways: ㋡
    Riddle Sideways: That slow driver is your Old mother that should not go any faster or will lose control
    Adams Rubble: the one who cits you off always liked your sister better
    Adams Rubble: sorry, i threw out a bunch of unrelated statements leading to the driving
    Riddle Sideways: she forgets to dim the bright
    Adams Rubble: ohh, I have done that
    Riddle Sideways: because she can not see at night
    Riddle Sideways: so flashing your brights will make her lose control
    --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: had looked up Tilopa to remember which one that was
    Adams Rubble: I don't use the bright lights but the control is the same stick as the turn signals and sometimes it gets pulled the wrong way and the brights are on
    Riddle Sideways: found it funny that his name translates to "the tahini maker"
    Riddle Sideways: if we were to just adjust how we think about those evil not good doers that ...
    Riddle Sideways: "The only thing that matter is Your attitude toward it"
    Riddle Sideways: stop the "Why can't They be like me"
    Riddle Sideways: and slide to "maybe they have a condition"
    Riddle Sideways: driving slow to protect me
    Adams Rubble: yes!
    Riddle Sideways: stopping in the middle of the road. to watch the deer or smell the flowers
    Adams Rubble: holding anger makes one suffer
    Riddle Sideways: why am I not stopping to smell the flowers
    Adams Rubble: and separates one from peace
    Adams Rubble: can't see the flowers for the anger
    Riddle Sideways: yes, so maybe not even take in the anger in first place
    Adams Rubble: let it Be
    Riddle Sideways: Tilopa lived by the Ganges
    Riddle Sideways: and the Ganges is the river all those people come to each year about now
    Riddle Sideways: big festivals of covid people

    Lineages or Begotten (Lists)

    Adams Rubble: and taught Naropa who taught Marpa who taught Milarepa who taught Gampopa who taught Jigton Sumgon
    Riddle Sideways: Ah, you switched seats
    Adams Rubble: I hopped over
    Riddle Sideways: both of us can be by the bunny
    Riddle Sideways: yes hopped
    Adams Rubble: be the bunny
    Adams Rubble: Play as Bunny
    Riddle Sideways: all those who taught, who taught, etc. seem better than begotting
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Adams Rubble: both are lineages :)
    Adams Rubble wonders about the teaching to the begotten
    Riddle Sideways: hmmm
    Adams Rubble: only males need apply to either type of lineage
    Adams Rubble: for some reason females don't seem to do any begetting in the Bible
    Adams Rubble: and Buddhist monks were afraid of women
    Riddle Sideways: Dakini
    --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: remembering it was Dakini that gave the first tea house
    Riddle Sideways: *Dakini
    Adams Rubble: yes
    Adams Rubble: and the Tara Ling Temple that is now nearby
    Adams Rubble: and the zen treat meditation are
    Adams Rubble: and the first PaB pavilion
    Riddle Sideways: of course getting Hinu and Buddhist all mixed up
    Adams Rubble: Zen retreat meditation area
    Adams Rubble: no Hindu here
    Riddle Sideways: whole spirtual center region

    From farms to Animals and they Begin to Stick

    Riddle Sideways: and now a lot of new 'farms' around there
    Riddle Sideways: back when we had the sessions in the older pavillions
    Riddle Sideways: walked back and sometimes the wrong direction
    Adams Rubble: I used to ask Dakini many questions about Buddhism
    Riddle Sideways: came across Farms
    Riddle Sideways: ah
    Adams Rubble: my first home in Second Life was an apartment on a Pennsylvania farm
    Riddle Sideways: There is an entire SL farming economy
    Adams Rubble: that is new
    Adams Rubble: then there were just animals
    Riddle Sideways: yes, was intrigued so tried to figure it out
    Riddle Sideways: you buy seeds and garden soil
    Riddle Sideways: etc.
    Riddle Sideways: and grow animal feed
    Riddle Sideways: grow the animals, shear the sheep, spin and weave
    Riddle Sideways: at any points you sell the jams, bread, bacon, etc. to others
    Adams Rubble: ohh like the cat I had that used to send me emails when it was hungry
    Adams Rubble: had to feed it or it would die
    Riddle Sideways: have not done that, but have seen places with animals-cats-hourses with floating text about their health
    Adams Rubble: the cat is no longer in my inventory. I might have given it back. I still have the food :)
    Riddle Sideways: thinking of those little japanese keychain gadget-critters that had to be played with
    Riddle Sideways: had to buy SL cat food
    Adams Rubble: yes
    Riddle Sideways: some of the farmers grow seeds to sell to newbies
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: seems more evolved than one person is the only source of cat food
    Riddle Sideways: nice
    Riddle Sideways: is that a good or bad bunny?
    Riddle Sideways: sings :How much is the doggy on your shoulder"
    Adams Rubble: I am not sure what it is. Looks a litle like a fox
    Riddle Sideways: not sure if it is happy
    --BELL--

    Riddle Sideways: nope, but shoulder also comes up as body parts of avs
    Riddle Sideways: need to put the scorpion someplace
