Toyota Proace Lerina hybrid hippy van US to visit actual Harbin, with robotics?

Sunheart ... 

Deeply impressed by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, whom I heard recently in a Stanford Lucid Dreaming talk. 

Here's a related talk: 

Awakening the Luminous Mind, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

https://youtu.be/Sa2zvm2jjo4

And more about Tenzin and related: 




Am heading further in these directions 

David Chalmers on the virtual and the real

https://youtu.be/QMLojOcOJFI

... and with actual/virtual Harbin as well - and re exploring questions of consciousness ... in the Harbin warm pool esp. 

How are you?

The Harbin ~ Esalen parallels are far-reaching ... and I hope to explore some of these further in my blog today, as well. 

Hoping you are well, and thanks for opening up a chat-channel in Youtube. 

Jaima, 
Scott



Dear Rinpoche, 

Thank you for your excellent and brilliant Stanford talk "Dream Yoga: Lucid dreaming from the Bön Buddhist tradition of Tibet" - https://events.stanford.edu/events/784/78487/ - yesterday.

My questions have to do further with the Yoga side - vis-a-vis the significant Buddhist understanding of mind which you shared - and the bodymind brain science side (where and how do dreams work in the brain and with languages, and how can we study this scientifically ... and could hypothetical brain science / meditation studies even include you?)

I found this related video of your teaching online -

... and I will seek to add it to these wiki subjects at World University and School - 
I wanted to let you know as well about MIT OCW-centric Tibet World University and School - 
- planned in Tibetan - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Tibetan_language - for online free-to-students' degrees (Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD and IB). World University and School is seeking online students - from Tibet for example - in the autumn of 2019, as we proceed with accreditation with the state of California (and are seeking to become accredited by WASC Senior, which also accredits Stanford and UC Berkeley and the other UCs, for ex.)

I noticed too this 
Interesting location for your workshop earlier this year ... 
June 8–10, 2018
Location: Esalen, Big Sur, California
Subject: Awakening the Sacred Body
Contact: Jody Greene
Email for Information
Website: Esalen Workshop
- http://www.ligmincha.org/en/programs/teachings-schedule-by-location.html

My actual-virtual ethnographic field site is Harbin Hot Springs, and this includes a study of meditation, and there are fascinating parallels with Esalen, at Harbin, and am seeking to create a realistic virtual Harbin / realistic virtual earth for actual-virtual comparison, and STEM research, and as classrooms as well. 

Deeply appreciative of the logic, wisdom (and humor) in your talk, and your thinking and practices. 

With very best wishes,  
Scott

PS
I blogged a bit about Manish Saggar's talk last time in the same series here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/11/nelumno-nucifera-stanford-meditation.html - as further information about further related studies. WUaS is seeking to explore, and re Stanford Medicine and brain modeling as well.

Thanks scott for the interlude of;  " Virtuous - Reality/Ralationship  Coaches  ... both entertaining ... within Sat-Chit-Anand...   Jai Ma! - Sunheart

Thanks Sunheart for your email, 

"existence, consciousness, and bliss"

Appreciating too Western conceptions of mind ... and yours as well ... and other Eastern conceptions of mind.

Am ongoingly appreciative of Angela and Victor's yoga ... http://angela-victor.com/ - and Victor posts a Yogic meditation painting fairly regularly. 

Am curious how to explore Rinpoche Tenzin's vision for the nature of mind and consciousness in a realistic virtual Harbin / realistic virtual earth at the cellular and atomic levels - and perhaps in conversation with Angela's meditations. 

John Cleese brings up this idea of thinking for oneself with regard to religion and religious traditions of the mind ... very humorously here beginning here - https://youtu.be/1ni559bHXDg and in 3 subsequent videos here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/11/dacnis-lineata-seeking-potential.html ...

Virtuous - Reality/Relationship Coaches may have much merit. 
Here's a bit of a riff with Angela and Victor and Patanjali and hippies all in one ... http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html ... 

Jai Ma, 
Scott

Thanks, I'll check it out! .........   So much video "cannon-fodder"  ... " how did you get it all together ? W/o  boredom ? - Sunheart

W / o boredom?

Which ways are the video cannons shooting?

how did you get it all together ?

3rd book publishing ahead today re http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/11/beinn-ghlo-winding-road-roaming-canyon.html?m=0 :) May read them to youtube to think about them in new ways.

Added a little bagpiping story before Scottish Country Dancing on Wednesday here at bottom -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/11/blue-dacnis-lucid-dreaming-tenzin.html?m=0 - and will seek to add a link to the park and the hall where the dance was, from STREET VIEW too.

I've centered the bench I was sitting on here in Shoup Park out of curiousity - https://goo.gl/maps/ygaKNby4NyG2 - but it was dark and dripping after much rain, and these photos are from the daytime.. Curious whether the centered bench will come thru... I think this park is also called Adobe park ... could it have been called a Doobie park too at one time? :)

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend, Sunheart

May see too if I can make my soon-to-be 3 Harbin books available as PDFs from their web pages :)


And am curious how from here too :) ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~

Do you ever get books in Middletown from Tom Cooley or from other places? Is anyone selling PDF books? (PDF is an Adobe file format:) Books were written to alleviate boredom - it's a proven fact :) (written by a Reedie:).


Jail Ma Ma,
Scott

Sunheart (and Ed),

Park bench I was Scottish small piping on before Scottish Country Dancing on Wednesday is here in Street View right in the center, and this is a virtual world you can move through too -


- and with regard to growing a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs for soaking, and ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy and much more ... :)


Not boring but also not interesting Youtubes, AND online video in general ... data HEAVEN in SO SO many ways ... and Video will get even more interesting as they become interactive etc., e.g. it would be great to talk interactively and in new ways with Stanford Philosopher and Professor of Comparative Literature Richard Rorty in this 2000 Dutch interview with the Dutch Wim Kayzer -

Of Beauty and Consolation: Part 23 – Richard Rorty


https://youtu.be/bTSdyxKyHrU ... and as avatar bot in virtual Harbin. Rorty mentions a focus on bliss at the 3 minute mark, etc.  ... and his engagement with TEXTs seem to be a kind of practice of aesthetic bliss.

See, too:

Richard Rorty - KQED Interview 2006


https://youtu.be/Fx9Pu2ZYcKQ


Would love to talk with him creatively again, in completely new ways ... and perhaps via a Richard Rorty avatar bot ... and perhaps also create a completely new interview from 2000, for example, compared with this one, with him in 2000. I'd be happy to interview a sophisticated Richard Rorty avatar bot in 2000 ... and in a realistic virtual Harbin - think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / Hangouts / Translate / TensorFlow.

Here's this - https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/rorty/ . He moved from the University of Virginia to Stanford as a philosophy professor in 1998, and this video above again is from 2000. 

Am seeking to become a Stanford Professor as well, and potentially in January, thanks partly to my actual-virtual Harbin books re 'how did you get it all together ?'

Happy Thanksgiving!

JaiMa, 
Scott

Would get a 3rd room with this re my place in Canyon, and a place to stay overnight at Stanford too ...

Ans a LL Bean's Woodland Screen House 10x10 tent on porch here would give me a 4th room as well, esp. for those who like to sleep outside :) ... a hybrid Toyota van could even be only car (they're so well designed).

Painting job opportunity ... chickens on the roof, - for eggs and veggie protein ? :) ... shower would be sweet, but not in these (Stanford has gyms)


Jai Ma, Scott
