anyone game for a deep chat session?

[sirguessalot]

and by deep...i guess i mean doctrinal

or spiritual, or religious, or philosophical, or theological

or whateva ya wanna call it

not better, just something different

i see some of you usual late-nighters logged in

ya know...for the heady stuff

about gods and demons

the universe

heavens

deaths

spirits

hells

whatnot...

cuz one thing i like about the chat

is the live nature of it

and what a different level of conversation that affords

ok...so i'll stick my neck out and start by starting a room and staying logged in for an hour or so tonight

see if anyone wants to take me up on the invite

and if not tonight...then some other night..whateva

if the idea even interests anyone

maybe we can even revisit the chat session styles a bunch of us tested a bit last spring

but rather than set up a specific time or subject

maybe it is easier to just log in hang out

see what happens

btw

no hidden agenda here

my intent is to find different ways to compare maps of experience

[sirguessalot]

ha

looks like we just missed each other

[Tom]

Actually, I don't know how to get to the chat that you're talking about, Sir.

[sirguessalot]

ah

ok...

here is a shortcut

otherwise

on the main forum page

just above the list of people in the chatroom

is a line that says "Enter the CHAT ROOM"

same thing

dang

nevermind

[Tom Strange]

you guys really should try sleeping some time...

[mstar1]

Well

well

well,

I am generally too shallow to partake in anything too deep but I may come by to watch

if I know aforetime,

the things that will be written will be for my learning

[Tom Strange]

I don't type fast enough for the chat room...

[CM]

deep but easy mstar,

and you know them west coasters stay up late, lol

my experience has been good with this sort of thing

[sirguessalot]

yeah, thanks, cm...deep but easy

tom, mstar...if it helps, just know that there is a big difference between the large-party-all-chat-rapidly-at-once-over-the-top-of-each-other-free-for-alls (which i also love, btw)

and the kind of sessions im taking about

also, these kinds of sessions are not private or exclusive sessions, by any means

all are invited

and we take turns typing, which means slow writers have all the time they need

but also, one can simply observe the process

or even simply stop it by interrupting

also, we are free to invent our own new and different ways to play along

anyway, when i get home later...i'll see if i can find and post a link to the previous thread

peace,

+ODD

[doojable]

When? I'll be there if I can - but since I work and have kids to get to school I might not be there for long

[sirguessalot]

oh, i dunno, dooj

sometimes i wish i could schedule a specific time to demonstrate what i am talking about

but with my shedule these days, i dont want to make a promise i cant keep

so im thinking that if i start this thread

and let people know how im simply almost always ready and capable of demonstrating what im getting at

...almost at the drop of a hat

i think a session can come together as spontaeneously as the regular chat styles

and as there is no set time required

the other styles i am thinking of can be demonstrated in a relatively short period of time

so, i think...just hit me up if you see me in chat

which is usually only evenings and weekends these days

but not always just then, either

and depending on the depth and degree of interest arising here

i can start thinking about more specific scheduling

and especially hit me up if you see that there are multiple people in one of the sub-rooms

...i can quickly debrief what is going on in a private chat

btw...a very helpful thing to remember

is that during any such session

(if one should get going)

that we are taking turns, kinda, or using some other pattern based on whatever pattern we've agreed upon

and so some will probably learn most quickly whats going on

if you just sit and watch a bit

anyway

i hope that helps

without making too much of a ruckus about a new little toy

[sirguessalot]

ok...thinking about this topic a bit more

and also thinking of it aside from the circle-type chat sessions idea

ive noticed that most people go to chat most of the time to just chill and talk about the day

catch up on whats going on with who...whatnot

which is jazzy cool wonderful, imo

God knows i like to yack about food and pets and cars and family and work about as much as anyone

but i also like to yack about deep less-tangible things as well

such as angels and demons and gods and devils and heavens and hells and dreams and visions, yada yada

(although i think we would do well to keep this somewhat light, too )

and so what im trying to figure out...is how to get chatters who are also interested in such things

(and i'm sure there are some) to meet in the subrooms

so as not to disturb those who want to talk about "real, everyday" things

the problems i am facing with this are:

1) too few seem to know how to enter the subrooms

2) few know to look (or even how to look) to see if someone is in a subroom

3) its not always (socially) easy to ask a crowd of ex-cultists "who wants to leave here and go chat about gawd and stuff in another room" without a wide number of misunderstandings

so...any suggestions?

and again...the reason i am so interested in this..is because i have seen that there are things about live chat that does what the forums do not...which have interesting implications for doctrinal-type discussions...things we've not really even explored yet, imo

God first

Hi Todd, Sir Guess Alot my loving friend and others

God loves us all as you know I love to write hoping we can build more trust together that God does Love us

Ok I am not good at the chat line because I am slow at keeping up with who talking to who

but I throw in a deep subject

Can you truthly walk or drive a straight line?

here a little help

take a ball lay a ruler on it look out little of the ruler touches not ball

I say we can spiritually but what about fleshly walking or driven?

Ok how many poles are still?

I say there a north pole and a south pole along with a east and west pole!

Ok we know were the south and north pole are but what about the east and west pole of this old earth

Matbe the east pole is 1/2 way around the earth from were we are standing at any given second and the west pole would work the same

so our east and west pole depend on were we are standing

but there are poles of the heavens too

just like there are - poles and + poles of flesh and spirit both

but what do you think about walking or driven a straight line and what about the poles

with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy

[sirguessalot]

well...how nice to see you again Roy

:)

but what do you think about walking or driven a straight line and what about the poles

off the top of my head...

a tennis ball for you to smack back to me if you like...

i dont think there really is such a thing as a straight line

not in "Nature," at least

and even when man makes them

they are only relatively straight

or relatively small lines

or a radical quantum of countless curves

but there are direct lines

which i believe is probably closer to a spiritual meaning of "straight"

and very curved lines can still be quite perfect, still not having a bend in them

but even then

everything eventually bends

just as everything "sins"

it seems

God makes it all work out

thank God

...

as far as poles

i really dig what yer saying

and could probably yak for days about that one

but ill say this for now

cuz its all i can think of at the moment

as that there are countless poles and polarities in the body and soul

in people and the world and the various kinds of bodies universe

and a countless number of points too

with which to draw cardinal directions from

but if we can find that ultimate ground

we will have an ultimate reference point

and will better be able to handle the extraordinary complexity of what IS

in our hearts and minds

without wigging out over all the paradoxes that may confound us

when east and west unite

and the north and south are no longer at odds

and up is both down and out

and down is both in and out...

...and it doesnt bother you anymore...

...maybe we can finally say we have left middle earth behind

without having gone anywhere at all

God first

Beloved Todd

God loves us

Yes there no true fleshly straight line

and yes the poles are a great subject

but there are others things to talk about

Like there are no bad lights but only lack of light

while there may be bad cause of light but the is never bad

Like there is no bad sounds but only lack of sound leaving it without a pattern of tones

Like there are no bad smells but only lack of smell leaving out tones leaving it with out a pattern

thank you

with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy

[karmicdebt]

Sirg...

I'm not a chat room gal, but I love the deep chat stuff...Sign me up. Who's bringing the hash?

Happy Belated!

Love, M

[sirguessalot]

oh man..that would be way too cool to chat with you live again, karmic...hashish or no hashish

even if it is only hypertextually live

but...there is nothing to sign on this one, of course

rather, its we who are ourselves who are each the teachers, the class, and the crew

(but I know you already know that...doh)

and so...all you have to do sign up for a deep chat with me...is look for me in the chat rooms and pop in

and if i'm not already at it, say "hey, dude...lets chat about something deep"

or some such thing
