C. Month of August

Play as Being was now four months old and growing. August opened with Gaya and Pema sitting quietly talking about fragility:

Pema Pera: and I believe that elsewhere I said that I feel fragile at every session
Pema Pera: and I could add that I also feel invulnerable at every session
Pema Pera: both
Gaya Ethaniel thinks Pema's a sensitive person
Pema Pera: on a relative level, as a being, a human being, I am fragile
Pema Pera: any moment anything can happen
Gaya Ethaniel nods
Pema Pera: while on an absolute/ultimate level what I am is invulnerable

 Later that same day at the 13:00 session, Pema talks about  Being:

Pema Pera: Being is such a tricky concept
Pema Pera: it will take three years for us to reach a real common understanding I think
Pema Pera: but that will be a fascinating three years!
Pema Pera: to come closer, experientially
Pema Pera: while using words like tourist tokens
Pema Pera: little memorabilia of where we have traveled and are traveling
Pema Pera: so we'll start out with very different understandings of Being
Pema Pera: and in our experience we will all let Being speak
Pema Pera: and we will help each other to listen
Pema Pera: and slowly we'll converge
Pema Pera: since there is only one Being

In the same session, religion and PaB:

Pema Pera: The reason normal religions work is that they use a "God" figure to do this exercise
Pema Pera: anthropomorphic
Pema Pera: and they work well if you do it seriously
Pema Pera: what we explore here is a high-grade distillation of religions
Pema Pera: not on the rocks
Pema Pera: but straight up
Pema Pera: just let Reality/Being/It see
Pema Pera: see the world
Pema Pera: see you
Pema Pera: see everything
Pema Pera: the whole story
Pema Pera: don't try to analyze what I am saying now
Pema Pera: just do it
Pema Pera: you'll be surprised
Pema Pera: and then we can talk about what you experience

Rowan Masala and Threedee Shepherd became guardians in August.

The autologging project was begun. 

Pia Iger, with a group of volunteer readers, extracted exerpts from all the previous logs and started an exerpt section on the Wiki.
