Hi Mahavir, (Sajjad, All),
Great to see you in the Harbin Hot Springs' pool area just now! And interesting to learn you have a Bachelor's degree from UC Berkeley, beginning in 1963, a Master's degree from MIT, and a PhD from UC Berkeley all in Applied Mathematics.
And fascinating to learn that you're in the Harbin Heart Consciousness Church's ministers' group, which met today too. And also interesting to learn that this group looked at Ishvara's 2002 book "Oneness in Living" today -
Ishvara (aka Robert Hartley). 2002. Oneness in Living: Kundalini Yoga, the Spiritual Path, and the Intentional Community. Berkeley, Calif.: North Atlantic Books.
And thanks for asking about my

You can visit the Harbin Gatehouse here in Google Street View with time slider, and 'walk' down the road to Middletown, but not yet up into Harbin Hot Springs and the pool area, for example -

This is where I'm seeking for a #RealisticVirtualHarbin to emerge in ...
And you'll find some excerpts from "Naked Harbin Ethnography" here in my daily blog (since 2008!) especially around 2016 fwd when it was published - https://scott-macleod. blogspot.com/search/label/ Harbin%20ethnography
I looked up 'ministers' in my
Naked_Harbin_Ethnography_ Original_SGKMacLeod_2016_ WUaSPress.pdf
and found that the word appears on 3 pages; And the 'church' word appears on 106 pages. And Sunheart Sunheart, my main informant and friend, as Heartsong on 33 pages.
Am curious if my 'Naked Harbin Ethnography' book could be looked at / read in your Harbin Minister's group meeting even some week. (Might I even come talk about it with regard to the Harbin Ministers' group?:) And if so, what would be the process for exploring this further? Will you be at Ishvara's birthday celebration tomorrow so that we might talk about this possibility? I'd be open to exploring sharing it further if it could be a focus of your Harbin Minister's group meeting even. Let's talk further about this with time.
How best to create a realistic virtual Harbin Heart Consciousness Church (with ministers) and to study bliss in virtual Harbin? And please see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article - https://www.toolify.ai/ai- news/revolutionizing- education-with-machine- learning-and-ai-2574306 - mentioning a virtual Harbin for the first time ever (other than by me and MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School of which I'm the founder and head).
Happy birthday, Ishvara!
All the best, Namaste, best regards,
Scott

Mahavir, (Sajjad, All),
Here attached is the draft first chapter of my "Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin" (2016) which I sent to the University of Toronto Press in 2016 - and per your request, Mahavir.

Nice to see some other Harbin folks, like Jonny Strieter (above), (and HCC Minister of Yesteryear? Ann Prehn pubs@harbin.org - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ ann-prehn-08847078/), who were in the first Harbin ministers meeting in 10 years, and since the Lake county Valley fire of 2016 - at Ishvara's 92nd birthday party yesterday W 6/11/25 at the Domes.
Since you HCC Ministers looked through Ishvara's Yoga book "Oneness in Living" ('Soaking in the Warn Pool' ? - for the meditation consciousness effect?) yesterday, here's a short "Hippy-anjali's Yoga Notations" riff with Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and Angela and Victor's Yoga too -
http://www.scottmacleod.com/ yoganotations.html - that mentions Harbin a kot for your HCC Ministers' Meeting reading consideration.
Namaste,
Scott
Ann Prehn, All,
The beginning of a #RealisticVirtualHarbin Hot Springs' #forHistory (#Hashtags on Twitter / LinkedIn) ... And explore adding a picture like the one Jonny Strieter was asking about
