    Eos Amaterasu: Hi Rhiannon
    Eos Amaterasu: How are you this evening, Rhiannon?
    Rhiannon Dragoone: i'm good; and you
    Rhiannon Dragoone: hi Puntuka!
     
    --BELL--
     
    Eos Amaterasu: Pretty good... seems to have been a long and busyful day....
    Puntuka Adzior: namaste
    Rhiannon Dragoone: yeah, i got a lot done today as well
    Eos Amaterasu: Hi Puntuka
    Eos Amaterasu: Have you been to Play as Being before?
    Puntuka Adzior: yes
    Puntuka Adzior: earlier today
    Puntuka Adzior: met all sorts of interesting people
    Eos Amaterasu: Ok... you got the intro, and that our chats are logged
    Puntuka Adzior: that I thought didn't exist in this number
    Eos Amaterasu: ¿
    Rhiannon Dragoone: oh, lots of interesting people on the grid, Puntuka
    Puntuka Adzior: I'm autistic or at least thats all they can call it
    Puntuka Adzior: but I sound like a normal person
    Puntuka Adzior: look normal
    Puntuka Adzior: I just don't think normal
    Puntuka Adzior: brb
    Eos Amaterasu: hopefully this feels normal
    Puntuka Adzior: ok back
    Eos Amaterasu: but it doesn't need to think normal
    Rhiannon Dragoone: hi Paradise
    Eos Amaterasu: In a way that's what Play as Being is about: letting the thinking do its play
    Eos Amaterasu: and observing and appreciating it
    Eos Amaterasu: digging it without getting caught up in it
    Eos Amaterasu: Hi Para
    Paradise Tennant: smiles hiya rhia .. eos puntuka ):)
    Puntuka Adzior: namaste
    Paradise Tennant: smiles namaste :)
    Eos Amaterasu: Paradise, you're a glowing gas cloud, much like our environs are said to have been 4.3 billion years ago
    Paradise Tennant: smiles :)
    Paradise Tennant: well ..I am here in spririt then :)
    Rhiannon Dragoone: Paradise, yeah, ur 'ruthed'
    Eos Amaterasu: Paradise the friendly ghost
    Rhiannon Dragoone laughs
    Eos Amaterasu: it's nice to be haunted by paradise
    Paradise Tennant: smiles
    Paradise Tennant: I have a friend who is a sensitive she sees ghosts :)
    Rhiannon Dragoone: I have a friend like that
    Rhiannon Dragoone: And around him, i can sense energy beings
    Paradise Tennant: listens
    Eos Amaterasu thinks of matter and energy transforming into lived scenery
    Rhiannon Dragoone: like SL, Eos
    Eos Amaterasu: Indeed!
    Eos Amaterasu: So through this somewhat more imagined world we realize better how we imagine our world(s)
    Eos Amaterasu: like that riff of the pianist hitting the note which generates the sound that cause ripples in his ear picked up by cilia.....
    Rhiannon Dragoone: yeah, it's a way to model the real world
    Rhiannon Dragoone: hi steve!
    stevenaia Michinaga: Rhi !!! Seated?? must be an Alt :)
    Puntuka Adzior: I feel tired at this moment in this existance
    Rhiannon Dragoone: I'm on a full viewer, steve.
    Rhiannon Dragoone: It's not my fault I sometimes have to stand
    stevenaia Michinaga: hi PAradise, Eos, Puntuka
    Paradise Tennant: smiles at the seated rhia :)
    Puntuka Adzior: namaste
    Paradise Tennant: hiya stevenaia gtsy :)
    Eos Amaterasu: Hi Stevienaia
    stevenaia Michinaga: didn't mean to over react...giggles
    Paradise Tennant: you were saying you felt tired puntuka ?
    Rhiannon Dragoone: And ppl's reactions to my standing is still a sore spot, so le't not bring it up
    Puntuka Adzior: um it has passed for now and it comes and goes
    Puntuka Adzior: it is what people call depression
    Rhiannon Dragoone: why are you depressed, Pun?
    Eos Amaterasu: hmmm
    Puntuka Adzior: fear
    Paradise Tennant: sigh
    Eos Amaterasu: paralyzing?
    Puntuka Adzior: no not anymore
    Puntuka Adzior: just lost
    Eos Amaterasu: oh, by the way, a 90 second gap is coming up....perhaps just relate to that fear....
     
    --BELL--
     
    Eos Amaterasu: How was that minute and a half gap?
    Eos Amaterasu: I was noticiing a kind of slightly shrinking back quality
    Paradise Tennant: we touched on fear the other night it would be a compelling topic
    Puntuka Adzior: I have alot of it
    stevenaia Michinaga: fear to me is hlding something tight that needs to be released
    stevenaia Michinaga: I quiver at those moments
    Rhiannon Dragoone: fear is natural when ur threatened, or feel threatened
     
    Puntuka Adzior: do you really want to know what I fear
    Rhiannon Dragoone: Its healthier than anxiety, which can be free floating
    Puntuka Adzior: well thats good to know
    Eos Amaterasu: what do you fear, Puntuka?
    Puntuka Adzior: I have had many problems with anxiety because I neglected my fears instead of realizing them
    Puntuka Adzior: I fear the people and their discisions
    Eos Amaterasu: decisions?
    Puntuka Adzior: I'm so unsure of the common reality
    Eos Amaterasu: Can you give a tiny example of that?
    Puntuka Adzior: well I know things that could change the world but I'm afraid to tell people for fear that it would not be for the better
    Puntuka Adzior: I don't quite understand its purpose yet so I go with what I'm told
    Puntuka Adzior: You have to be on my level of understanding the value of life on THIS world
    Puntuka Adzior: I love this world to death and I mean it
    Eos Amaterasu: that is our fate, all of us
    Puntuka Adzior: as testament I have a mouse who lives with me and I will be resealing the hole from the basement level where he lives during the winter I just moved here but he is a nice companion of sorts
    Rhiannon Dragoone: My gf had a pet spider that came out when she was in her kitchen
    Puntuka Adzior: I am on a pilgrimage
    Puntuka Adzior: yeh this thing isn't a pet
    Eos Amaterasu: There is another 90 second gap coming up
    Puntuka Adzior: yet it will eat cheese off of a plate on my stomach
    Eos Amaterasu: How about this: notice whatever fear point comes up
    Eos Amaterasu: that's it
    Eos Amaterasu: don't follow or push anything awaya
    Puntuka Adzior: yeh thats the basic message I get
    Puntuka Adzior: it doesn't make it any easier to swollow
    Eos Amaterasu: no
    Puntuka Adzior: omg
     
    --BELL--
     
    Rhiannon Dragoone: well, i need to go
    Eos Amaterasu: Ciao, Rhiannon
    Paradise Tennant: namaste rhia hope you have good evening :)
    Rhiannon Dragoone: cu next time!
    Rhiannon Dragoone: oh, thank yu!
    Rhiannon Dragoone: you 2
    stevenaia Michinaga: bye Rhi, nice seeing you
    Puntuka Adzior: namaste everyone could I get friend request I have to leave it's urgent
    Eos Amaterasu: Bye Puntuka
    stevenaia Michinaga: sure Puntuka
    Paradise Tennant: take care puntuka
    stevenaia Michinaga: didn't know there was an intervention of sorts going on when I arrived
    Paradise Tennant: ?
    stevenaia Michinaga: Punt's fear
    stevenaia Michinaga: sometime an entry should be approached with listening, not humor
    Eos Amaterasu: ?
    stevenaia Michinaga: when I arrived, Eos
    stevenaia Michinaga: changing the subject for a moment, would you have any pointers for doing a theme session Eos, the ones I have attended begining with a 20 minute dialoge seemed to work nicely...... wonders how much prep there should be between the hosts or does it usually just flow naturally?
    Eos Amaterasu: Most of the ones I've been at have had that initial period of 20 minutes or so of just the theme presenters having a dialog
    Eos Amaterasu: after which it opens up
    Eos Amaterasu: You will be with two other people?
    Paradise Tennant: smiles and quietly creeps off to bed ...very busy week .. kind of sleepy here namaste my friends
    Eos Amaterasu: Ciao ciao, Paradise!
    stevenaia Michinaga: night Paradise, nice dreams to you
    Paradise Tennant: ciao ciao and thank you both for the company :) and the conversation :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: my question relates more to My next wednesday's Theme Session... what set-up might be needed, Blissful and I and Sophia have not set anything up yet
    stevenaia Michinaga: it;s a different kind of initial dialogue... or perhaps not and all will fall into place
    Eos Amaterasu: I think all the theme sessions I've done have been without prior preparation with other themers
    Eos Amaterasu: But for example Calvino put together a page of thoughts about a theme once
    Eos Amaterasu: So I think it's entirely up to the three of you
    stevenaia Michinaga: nods
    Eos Amaterasu: You could meet in the tavern beforehand :-)
    stevenaia Michinaga: good idea
     
    --BELL--
     
    Eos Amaterasu: You'll be talking about boundaries?
    stevenaia Michinaga: no, I think Eden will, I will be talking about Space
    Eos Amaterasu: a big topic :-)
    Eos Amaterasu: What prompted that topic?
    stevenaia Michinaga: but very interesting, it came from the Guardian Meeting discussion, something I am comfortable with
    stevenaia Michinaga: I should read the Wiki to see how the topic arose, perhaps to balance boundries
    stevenaia Michinaga: another multidimentional topic
    Eos Amaterasu: has a lot to do with boundaries also
    stevenaia Michinaga: and time
    Eos Amaterasu: and shaping
    stevenaia Michinaga: aww, here it is.... SophiaSharon Larnia: I'd like a theme session on 'Space'
    Eos Amaterasu: SophiaSharon is a very visual person
    Eos Amaterasu: or, expresses visually
    Eos Amaterasu: One of my very favorite quotes is:
    Eos Amaterasu: "open space cannot be perceived by otherwise at all"
    stevenaia Michinaga: some seem more appriciative of it, others don't react to space, for others it can create very powerful emotions....... space
    Eos Amaterasu: you work with space thru architecture?
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, space, light, time (movement) becomes the architect's pallete
    Eos Amaterasu: I've been noticing how enough detail can make space, especially as demarcated by walls, more livable
    Eos Amaterasu: building with details are satisfying to the eye
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, texture you can relate to also affect your comfort
     
    --BELL--
     
    stevenaia Michinaga: they say some geometries remind the mind of the safe african savannah, baldes of grass, fractals everywhere, no place for harm to hide
    Eos Amaterasu: mmm, sounds yummy
    stevenaia Michinaga: as simple as wallpaper, or a well detailed and organized room, like Frank Lloyd Wright's fractals were
    Eos Amaterasu: brings out a quality of well-being
    stevenaia Michinaga: have you seen the book A Pattern Language?
    Eos Amaterasu: Oh yes, Christopher Alexander
    Eos Amaterasu: has had huge influence on the software development community as well
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, it quanitifies human patterns in an encyclepedic form
    stevenaia Michinaga: really, how so?
    Eos Amaterasu: it gives little typical stories of how spaces work
    Eos Amaterasu: the software patterns movement was influenced by C Alexander's work, and looked to find patterns of problems and approaches to problems
    stevenaia Michinaga: how does that connect to software?
    stevenaia Michinaga: hmmm
    Eos Amaterasu: for example, there's an "observer/observable" pattern
    Puntuka Adzior: -i'm back
    stevenaia Michinaga: wb Puntuka
    Eos Amaterasu: where one piece of software subscribes to notifications from an (observed) other
    Eos Amaterasu: Hi Punktuka
    Eos Amaterasu: Actually, I have to disperse... past midnight here....
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, Night Eos
    Puntuka Adzior: ok well I guess this metting is over then
    Eos Amaterasu: Thank you, good night Sevenaia and Punkuka
    stevenaia Michinaga: night, I can stay a bit
    Puntuka Adzior: no a new person to lighten the path
    stevenaia Michinaga: your microphone is on when you type
    Puntuka Adzior: oops
    stevenaia Michinaga: hello Karen
    Karencreek Melson: Hi
    stevenaia Michinaga: have you been here before
    Karencreek Melson: yes
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: welcome back
    Karencreek Melson: ty
    stevenaia Michinaga: Eos and I were talking about a 2 Theme Session we will be having next week
    Karencreek Melson: what are the themes you are considering
    stevenaia Michinaga: one on monday at 7:00 AM on "Playing with Boundries"
    Puntuka Adzior: I need to find the best guru on SL
    Puntuka Adzior: well one at least
    stevenaia Michinaga: and Mine on Wednesday at 7:00 PM on Playing with Space
    Karencreek Melson: what kind of boundaries, the ones that blind one to what is
    stevenaia Michinaga: if you join the Friends of Play as Being group you should get a notice
    Karencreek Melson: or the ones we maintain between ourselves and other beings
    stevenaia Michinaga: I am not sure, the possibilities could be a range of boundries
    Puntuka Adzior: I think they are refering to the concept
    stevenaia Michinaga: the themes begin with a 20 minute dialgue between two or three people, then the group contributes
    Puntuka Adzior: and how it pertains to your path
    Karencreek Melson: boundaries are made to be broken
    stevenaia Michinaga: I suspect each person will bring their own concepts of boundries to discuss
    Puntuka Adzior: yes but unless they are large enough the impact on the next will not be as effective
    stevenaia Michinaga: the boundries?
    Puntuka Adzior: yes
    Karencreek Melson: the biggest boundaries are those that constrict us to thinking what we think is what is
     
    --BELL--
     
    Puntuka Adzior: I only concieve
    Puntuka Adzior: I know not what is
    Puntuka Adzior: only what could be
    Karencreek Melson: creativity gives birth to what can be
    Karencreek Melson: without knowing
    Karencreek Melson: in advance what it is
    Karencreek Melson: but it already exists
    Puntuka Adzior: that is right in more ways than i believe u understand
    Karencreek Melson: I dont try to undersatnd
    Karencreek Melson: it comes to me
    Karencreek Melson: and I rather be being
    stevenaia Michinaga: Playing with Boundries will hopefully bring new meanings of boundries to each of us
    Karencreek Melson: it does
    stevenaia Michinaga: but Punktuka, how could you not know what is, you can't know what could be
    Puntuka Adzior: my bounderies are massive
    Karencreek Melson: smiles
    Karencreek Melson: what was the other theme
    Karencreek Melson: ?
    stevenaia Michinaga: much to learn from boundries, they define....
    stevenaia Michinaga: Space
    Puntuka Adzior: *seen
    Karencreek Melson: I am listening
    Puntuka Adzior: what to me?
    Karencreek Melson: grins
    Karencreek Melson: to what is here
    Puntuka Adzior: what would you like to know
    stevenaia Michinaga: actually this place was construction for listening
    Puntuka Adzior: oh it's not for open discussion
    Karencreek Melson: listening enables one to transcend boundaries
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, listening to discussion
    stevenaia Michinaga: sometimes just listening brings up much to discuss
    Karencreek Melson: it allow one's internal dialogue to observed
    Karencreek Melson: by the listener
    Karencreek Melson: they can think ahead then
    Karencreek Melson: to new ideas for them
    Puntuka Adzior: do you know of any influecial hindi gurus
    Karencreek Melson: no
    Karencreek Melson: on my own path
    Puntuka Adzior: on sl at that
    stevenaia Michinaga: are you Hindu
    Puntuka Adzior: no
    Karencreek Melson: I am a human being
    Karencreek Melson: just that
    Karencreek Melson: nothing more
    Karencreek Melson: nothing less
    Puntuka Adzior: I am something in likeness
    Karencreek Melson: that is warm for me to know
    stevenaia Michinaga: what is ": I am something in likeness"
    Puntuka Adzior: I feel threatened by that statement
    Puntuka Adzior: or question
    Puntuka Adzior: no offense
    stevenaia Michinaga: consider it withdrawn
    stevenaia Michinaga: I seek clearity when I don't understand soemthing, that's all
    stevenaia Michinaga: not meant to threaten
    Puntuka Adzior: well I feel like the work laid out in the hindi traditional history fits for me but I am not completely hindi I am something new but the same
    Puntuka Adzior: I can't begin to open this book right now
    stevenaia Michinaga: that is interesting as I feel similarly with aspects of the Daoist tradition
    stevenaia Michinaga: but only what I have been preliminarilly exposed to here and sme readings
    stevenaia Michinaga: strange how paths find you in life
    Karencreek Melson: all connected, the past present and future are in ever moment
    stevenaia Michinaga: things you many have never even heard of all of a sudden make sence for you
    Karencreek Melson: connectecd
    stevenaia Michinaga: nods
    stevenaia Michinaga: then it's ..hmmm, someone already thought of that... a very long time ago
    Karencreek Melson: smiles
     
    --BELL--
     
    Karencreek Melson: valid experience is welcome anytime
    Puntuka Adzior: I am specifically afraid of my future and the loss i will sustain
    Karencreek Melson: the price one pays for awareness
    Puntuka Adzior: yes
    Karencreek Melson: is extistential anxiety
    stevenaia Michinaga: what do you see
    Puntuka Adzior: I feel blessed tho
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    Puntuka Adzior: I cannot tell you my future
    Karencreek Melson: why spoil fun
    Karencreek Melson: grins
    Puntuka Adzior: bounderies
    stevenaia Michinaga: is that why you are afraid?
    stevenaia Michinaga: you said you see loss?
    Puntuka Adzior: the solitude does have an effect to that
    Karencreek Melson: being alone cuts down on distractions
    Karencreek Melson: from what one is
    Puntuka Adzior: very
    stevenaia Michinaga: I must step away fro a few minutes, please continue
    Puntuka Adzior: Me and my daughter are new being to this world
    Karencreek Melson: go on
    Puntuka Adzior: I have to pioneer stuff for many years far more than you can imagine that you cannot stop
    Karencreek Melson: go on
    Puntuka Adzior: My inforamtion on passing knowledge is not complete to continue would be reckless and irresponsible
    Karencreek Melson: one can pass on what they can pass on
    Puntuka Adzior: it's not that simple
    Karencreek Melson: oh yes it is
    Puntuka Adzior: no it's not
    Puntuka Adzior: not for me
    Karencreek Melson: it is impossible to pass on the whole of experience
    Karencreek Melson: with just words
    Karencreek Melson: as most want to
    Puntuka Adzior: no far from immpossibl;e
    Karencreek Melson: you feel it is possible?
    Puntuka Adzior: I know of it

    Karencreek Melson: I hope you suceed
    Puntuka Adzior: me too failure sucks
    Puntuka Adzior: cuz then I gotta start anew
    Karencreek Melson: smiles

    Karencreek Melson: that is not starting anew
    Karencreek Melson: that is restrating with new information
    stevenaia Michinaga: back
    Karencreek Melson: wb
    Puntuka Adzior: learning comes from experience
    Puntuka Adzior: not failure
    Karencreek Melson: grins
    Karencreek Melson: experience is learning from failure
    Karencreek Melson: one must not suceed each time
    Puntuka Adzior: not exactly
