2012.03.22 01:00 - Boy that's a loaded question

No Session was recorded at this time, so Eliza shared an excerpt from a 2008 session in which Three and Caledonia compared notes about 9 Seconds practice...

Threedee Shepherd: in the last time here tonight (and I leave for a week on vacation tomorrow), what are some of your "9-sec" experiences?
Caledonia Heron: boy that's a loaded question
Threedee Shepherd: *remaining time I meant
Caledonia Heron: I've been doing this since April and a lot of things have happened
Threedee Shepherd: wow, that's a long effort
Caledonia Heron: I can barely give you a timeline but will rather tell you that of late things are escalating
Caledonia Heron: not sure that's the right term
Threedee Shepherd: expanding?
Caledonia Heron: uhhh....well, not like the universe :)
Caledonia Heron: today has been a humdinger, I'm not sure how to express it to you, words will fall short
Caledonia Heron: I'm just kind of sitting with it, ....I don't know the right vocabulary to talk about this stuff so I'm aprehensive it will sound silly or not convey the event
Threedee Shepherd: you know best, I try to listen...
Threedee Shepherd: silly is not likely, I assure you.

Caledonia summarized the notion of YSBS, you seeing Being seeing, our latest PaB exploration, and some of her reactions to it.

Caledonia Heron: the experiment is morphing, the ante seems upped - we are experimenting with something described as you seeing, being seeing
Caledonia Heron: shifting from you (me) seeing to dropping the "you" and letting "being" see
Threedee Shepherd: seeing, as in deeper being
Caledonia Heron: so as I do this, and it seems to be appearing on it's own from time to time there is a huge, I mean HUGE mashup going on
Threedee Shepherd: sounds like it is more than just noise, though, and if she were here I know Adelene would have something to say about it.
Caledonia Heron: by mashup I mean (grappling here) being, existing as a functioning human and at various intervals being the seeing
Threedee Shepherd: that sounds wonderful :)
Caledonia Heron: good grief - I don't know how to say it
Caledonia Heron: it's a good thing, a marvel in fact
Threedee Shepherd: sounds like an IS-ness in touch with being a part of the broadest IS-ness of all being.
Caledonia Heron: yes, it gets a bit circular and where does one stop and the other end, the line is fuzzy in retrospect
Caledonia Heron: sorry - I am typically more articulate
Threedee Shepherd: no line in the sense that all being is one, yet has extensiveness
Caledonia Heron: yes, I get that intellectually and trying to describe the experience of what I think that is doesn't seem to come close
Threedee Shepherd: I don't expect anyone can fulle *describe* such BE-ing, and your words and thoughts do give me a sense of it that leaves no need for apology on your part.
Caledonia Heron: ok, sure and thanks....I really have no idea about it at this point, everyone is having their own experiences and I am personally in fresh snow

What a nice way to put it!

Threedee Shepherd: the most interesting kind :)
Caledonia Heron: I don't really expect us all to have the same experience - that is silly - and I think the depth and breadth of our different experiences is going to be all over the map. It will be interesting to see how cohesive things are in the near term.
Threedee Shepherd: At this point I can paraphrase Adelene (she and I talk more than a bit):, and say each of us experiences the lessons from our place along the way, so the only needed cohesiveness is the way itself.
Caledonia Heron: yes, makes sense
Caledonia Heron: there is an element of compare and contrast however
Threedee Shepherd: an old habit for those of us ever involved with data ;D
