Pema Pera: May I quote a short poem, by an Indian master, Tilopa, a hundred years ago?
Pema Pera: only six lines
Pema Pera: not much information in that ;>)
Moondust Sella: of course….
Pema Pera: Let go of what has passed
Pema Pera: Let go of what may come
Pema Pera: Let go of what is happening now
Pema Pera: Don’t try to figure anything out
Pema Pera: Don’t try to make anything happen
Pema Pera: Relax, right now, and rest

As comfortable as you have made me with SL and PaB friendships there are still things in my life, my past and my thinking that have not fit in yet. Perhaps some day I can relate to the group some of those examples. Some in the group may know what a live blade coming at you does to time. Most would know the equivalent of being on stage in front of 10,000 and hitting the wrong B# and then just smiling the smile of joy. I have the greatest of inner needs to discuss out of body mishaps and flukes with somebody that has done same. Are we ready to discuss parallel universes/realities. Or speak of Magic.
There are simple, complex and chaos levels. We always discuss the simple. We edge up to the complex at the end of the hour. When will be explore chaos, the chaotic states, the over whelming of the rules, the overrunning of 'your' borders.

Adams Rubble: When you talk about "us" are referring to "us" outside PaB too?
Caledonia Heron: yes, the big us
Caledonia Heron: :)
Caledonia Heron: the all of us

Adams Rubble: Oh what a great phrase
Adams Rubble: I have been saying it as all the humans whoever lived or will live

genesis Zhangsun: I can tell you what I think was the inspiration behind the Guardian name
genesis Zhangsun: is that what you are asking?
Adams Rubble: That would be great
genesis Zhangsun: Well the person who made the introduction to Pema possible was a girl who worked at the Cafe, who is a friend of mine
genesis Zhangsun: in RL
genesis Zhangsun: she is an artist
genesis Zhangsun: before Pema left Berkeley
genesis Zhangsun: I asked her
genesis Zhangsun: to draw something for Pema as a gift
genesis Zhangsun: that drawing was of a raven
genesis Zhangsun: she called it "Guardian of the Void"
Adams Rubble: :)
genesis Zhangsun: this was around the same time Guardian emerged

(Adams): Zeroith Time. I ask Gen whether that concept too has changed for her
genesis Zhangsun: this remains still quite mysterious to me...I had one of my strongest experiences in PaB related to this and it probably changed the course of my entire life and yet it alludes me still
genesis Zhangsun: I am definitely more aware of its presence
genesis Zhangsun: since I had my most signficant experience with it
genesis Zhangsun: and I think that is making small differences in my life
genesis Zhangsun: the signficiant experience I am referring to is walking out on the Bar
Adams Rubble: I hadn't realized it was connected to zeroith time
genesis Zhangsun: yes the day before I walked out
genesis Zhangsun: I was again with Pema in RL
genesis Zhangsun: I had an experiences of "time"
genesis Zhangsun: somehow I just "got" that it wasn't real in the way I thought it was before
genesis Zhangsun: my whole presence with my life changed in that moment
genesis Zhangsun: and when I walked into the Bar
genesis Zhangsun: I knew I wasn't supposed to be there
genesis Zhangsun: that I was traveling a stream of time which didn't belong to me
Adams Rubble: That is a powerful experience. Thank you for sharing
