Dear NtFs, Dear no-more-monotheism-or-polytheism f/Friends, and Dear atheist Quakers,

Am seeing / exploring the idea of online Meeting House's as places for NtF meditation as well.
'Silent Meeting in the Manner of Friends / Quakers' is what I recall on the sign in front of the Pittsburgh Friends' Meeting house in the mid-1970s. I'm wishing Google Streetview with time slider - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pittsburgh+Friends+Meeting+House/@40.4491804,-79.9458531,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipOJseRoFIKS1wIq0yDX2dQ21wUJLjeFmoPIuKZB!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipOJseRoFIKS1wIq0yDX2dQ21wUJLjeFmoPIuKZB%3Dw152-h86-k-no!7i2560!8i1440!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xa5b9300d754b86da!8m2!3d40.4491804!4d-79.9458531 - was a little further along so we could check the history of this with ever increasing accuracy ... (Emailed about this in these 2 NtF threads as well - "[NTF-talk] New and Interested" ... and ... "Nontheist Friendly 'NtF Conversation about Meditation' ")

You can see the Pittsburgh Friends' Meeting  Google Streetview TIME SLIDER function here 10 different years between 2007 and 2017 ~ https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pittsburgh+Friends+Meeting+House/@40.4493857,-79.9461755,3a,75y,129.24h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sEn5CXeuhYMvLFYk6pmd_pg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xa5b9300d754b86da!8m2!3d40.4491804!4d-79.9458531 ~ and this is the Meeting House from in front of which I used to head to Peace Marches and Anti-War rallies in Washington DC in the 1970s as a teen (before registering as a CO when Selective Service / pre-draft was instituted in around 1979; the American War in Vietnam's draft still fresh in people's mind, - and with all those American lives lost so tragically, by an out of control war machine, for a craziness). Am an appreciator re Quakers and now NtFs in questioning the law by protesting it when it's wrong, but am also a Friendly appreciator of both laws, as well as psychiatry (for Quakers / Friends), when the laws are just and protect victims, and are broken by Friends creating victims.

Possible names for un-programmed NtF Quaker Meeting meditation, besides 'Silent Meeting in the Manner of Friends:

both "Silent Communion / Communitas in the manner of Friends" and simply "Friends' Meeting" work for me too. Appreciating as an anthropologist the "communitas' word ... and a heightened experience of liminality (Victor Turner). (Am curious in an ongoing way (as I've written before) about how to elicit 'loving bliss neurophysiology' in Friends' Meeting as well).

For me, language matters (as someone who is Jacque Lacan MD inclined as well), and building on Quaker / Friends' language has much merit re NtFS, but Google Time Slider, for example, doesn't go back to the 1700, 1800s and 1900s that I've seen either yet. (Am hoping World Univ & Sch can facilitate this for Meeting House places, STEM field sites, and classrooms + ).

Friendly regards, Scott

M,

Check out the two images of the Pittsburgh Friends Meeting here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/03/brazilian-grapetree-dear-ntfs-no-more.html - in Street View ... interesting idea to develop Streetview for history ... a realistic virtual earth (Streetview with TIME SLIDER) as a ginormous academic history project ... and re medical schools/ teaching hospitals (re Stanford/Duke's Google's Project Baseline) too ... where part of this history would be medical procedure data even in terms of Electronic Medical Records (EHR) (all very Google-centric) ... and where once again data privacy and ownership questions take on new meaning (and where WUaS's Law Schools in all 200 countries could help further define and teach this, and code for this). The second half of this blog post is a fascinating panel with MIT / Harvard professors on MIT Xapiens' project and with a focus on Longevity too ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Longevity .... the first part of this blog entry includes some conscientious objection issues ... (and re my whistle blowing at the SF QM as well).

Hi Sunheart, and All,

Re Longevity and Harbin, you might find this MIT video on Longevity + fascinating - https://www.facebook.com/xapiensatMIT/videos/347012609252421/UzpfSTgyNDEzMDU2MToxMDE2MTM3ODMzNTI5MDU2Mg/ ... I enjoyed the first two speakers, esp. Patti Maes, then David Sinclair ... and am waiting to listen to George Church and Ed Boyden (all MIT / Harvard professors / researchers). Much relevance for thinking about Harbin as well.

I'm also attaching Chloe Conger's 2000 Stanford undergraduate honors' thesis, for all of your interest.

Will we live forever? Check out two thees two articles - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/03/lesser-celandine-university-on.html  (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/longevity) ... and then re-visit the MIT video above, as well ... 

Jaima, Scott
