How bout 2:00 PM EST? That would be 7:00 PM Uk time. Any feedback on this would be great! Thanks!

99,

7 pm Uk time is fine for me, though I am happy to attend even if it is a later time particularly if it is over a weekend (Saturday and Sunday). I am mindful that the majority are on your side of the pond so I will go with what suits all and the flow.

That's good to know Cuan and thanks for the feedback!

Hoping to hear from Hobbit too! Yooooo hooo! Hobbit, are you there?

I am part Neanderthal, so You will have to explain how it all ties up .
I have never owned a mobile phone, just been able to use this machine is about My limit.
hobbit

Well then, we can't make things tooooo easy for you Hob or else it wouldn't fun! And thank goodness I won't have to draw out those instructions in petroglyphs but since you are far more advanced than that, I'll type out the operation directions for the conference page in a Haiku verse for you that's loaded with metaphors ok? (only joking

Anytime after 4pm PST works, weekends work best.

Ok, let's tentatively shoot for this coming Saturday ... not sure of the time yet. 

Will be using Gotomeeting.
It's easy to use but I'll post the instructions for it the day before... just in case anyone needs that.

99,

Just checking is that 10am PST on Saturday as opposed to 4pm PST?

It's 4 PM PST ... Smiley said he's available for that time and after. What time will that be for you? 
---------------------------------------------
Uh oh.... would that be 12 midnight for you? Just checked but you're 8 hours ahead of California.
That's too late then. 

Back to the drawing board.

99 wrote:It's 4 PM PST ... Smiley said he's available for that time and anything after. So what that be in your time?

Uh oh.... would that be 12 midnight for you? Just checked but you're 8 hours ahead of California.

I can do anytime Saturday. Whatever is more convenient for other folks.

EG

--------------------update...
Smelly says he can do it anytime on Saturday now so let's bring that down so that it's 9 PM UK time. 1PM PST and 4 PM EST.

That's correct 99, good time zone juggling. Dan is going to be on?

That time should work for me.

A significant element of of the BPWH is the SST, single soul theory.  This is just a logical corollary of monism.  A single soul circulates 10^11 time to account for the entire population of the Earth.  That is a lot of lifetimes for each of us to have to endure.  

I would have to think twice about coming back at all.  It seems that there are a lot of lives that we would go to some lengths just to avoid.  

If we had to choose between 0 lives and 10^11....... that would be another difficult choice.  

Perhaps the best possible world would only contain 10 persons.  That would result in a great deal of excess for this world.  

I must be looking at this the wrong way.  

Maybe God is a daredevil and just can’t get enough of the thrill of jumping back into the Monad.......... 10^11 times.  Each time is different.  

Everything that comes before the jump off is just like riding slowly up the first hill of the roller coaster.  It’s all in the anticipation.  

The fellow that smelly saw standing on the bridge..... that’s cheating.

I recall you talking about that years ago Dan... it's makes sense to me. I'll review over that info on your site again this evening.

Where does 10^11 come from? How did you determine this number?

The Population Reference Bureau (PRB) estimates that a little over one hundred billion have lived on Earth. 



Modern” Homo sapiens (that is, people who were roughly like we are now) first walked the Earth about 50,000 years ago. Since then, more than 108 billion members of our species have ever been born, according to estimates by Population Reference Bureau (PRB). Given the current global population of about 7.5 billion (based on our most recent estimate as of mid-2017), that means those of us currently alive represent about 7 percent of the total number of humans who have ever lived.

Dan,
I believe Alan Watts addressed this some time ago... comes down to boredom. Are we just bored gods?

What beyond Homo Sapiens have we incarnated to on Earth?

All around and within.

The distinction of this and that is the heart of our individual delusions.

For they are Legion.

One can strip naked and burn their clothes and themselves to ashes.

This leads to a portal, which scatters your atoms to the wind.

Funny everything that burns reduces down to black carbon, but not yet.

I heard an evangelical on NPR sharing their tag line why they love trump, Jesus is the only way to heaven, we need law and order.

Opposite concepts making a Hell.

I like to burn, so I’m home, very comfortable here.

They have quite a cult of materialism going.

It is these corporate religious scientific cultists we must abide with, just relax already and chill.

My least fav kind of muppet is the believer.

I have no words for the lunacy we are locked within.

The Dude says, where’s my rug, man.

To Abide in a Trump Evangelical Hell is Divine.

I’m a God Damned St.

Why we tell stories about aliens and gods and daimons...



What is spoken and written can only be a story.

As hard as it is, we can learn and accept this.

A good storyteller must learn the difference.

This is what I see in whoknows and hobbit and Hesse, more so than Dan.

Do you know this is just a story Dan?

How does a muppet grow up?

By learning how to write and act their own story.

Muppets become storytellers.

As long as we remember the basic rules, we can live any story, in the best way.

This was my only real insight.

Life is a story, write and live how you like.

For smelly. From a relic.

Reflections on that poem that smiley just posted... 

Embedded within our consciousness are the ancestral memories of our species since the beginning of our existence on this planet. Those memories also contain the emotional accouterments of those experiences of all lifeforms here too including the planet itself and the universe. The creative process reawakens that aspect of ourselves that's embedded in every cell of our body by triggering off those memories causing them to emerge and express themselves in various ways for us to examine and remind us that we are all part of a whole and that separation from it is only an illusion.

Indeed, after speaking with several other psychonaught friends, we are convinced because we saw images deep down we have never read, we feel like we saw images from our DNA somehow.

The DNA working epigenetically is always rewriting the human story as we live it.

The fact I saw and spoke with so many things inside, convinced me we each have this history embedded in us and/or we are connected somehow to nothing beyond time and space.

I’m sure others here are as surprised as I to see what latent images and personalities lie deep within us.

This is where we should focus, but seeing those things doesn’t make you whole, they just show you that you don’t know what the hell is REALLY going on behind things, so you figure, fuck and tuck it, I’ll just go with the flow, and you turn your brain off as much as possible.

My journey to now, to each their own, I truly mean that.

I confess I trolled APs live video the other day.

Bad smelly goat, I was making good points, but smelly ones.

AP is a cat totally into his story.

I admire the commitment.

Almost as committed as I am, but I’d never start a movement.

Dead end, but hope he is having fun with it.

At least he took that dumb mask off

Progress.

The Duderino has no point or causes.
