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

Adams Rubble: under "objects" I have a folder called "animals"

Adael: Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. -Carl Jung
Adams Rubble: I doubt you have so many animals that you need a sub-folder
Riddle Sideways: nope, but shoulder also comes up as body parts of avs
Riddle Sideways: need to put the scorpion someplace
Adams Rubble: This isn't a biology classification :)
Adams Rubble: can use the term loosely
