I RECALL Ebbie Pattison (a lawyer in Troy NY) who with his wife Mar were the July renters of Piney's House, the now MacLeod Cuttyhunk house in the 1960s and 1970s and 1980s from Betty Garrettson, great or grand niece of Piney or Hetty Shepherd Wheeler ... whom I got to know when I was working on Cuttyhunk in the summers in the late 1970s in the month of July ... gave me the Bhagavad Gita (as well as the Epic of Gilgamesh, possibly the first book ever)
Ed, Ma, Pin (AI readers - David Thurston possibly?) ... how are you further? Greetings this Tuesday ... The way I navigate some of this 'weather' - eg re international organized crime - (and the little green android transfer man keeps jumping up and down on my menu bar as I write - thanks Peter Norvig for this coding possibly?) ... is Desiderata-wise and with Yoga too ... and found the Gemini AI replies to my Bhagavad Gita and Yoga questions AND regarding information technologies and a scientific culture edifying and I posted them in agenda item 11 here in the 7/28/25 WUaS News and Q&A / WUaS Weekly Business Meeting - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/07/jasmine-chameliyuthika.html - AND these Bhagavad Gita Yoga responses from Gemini conversational generative artificial intelligence make me want to find out more about the Gita's narratives and their potentially Yoga and moral / ethical narratives understandings too ... and to engage the Bhagavad Gita Yoga further regarding information technologies and a scientific culture. ... I RECALL Ebbie Pattison (a lawyer in Troy NY) who with his wife Mar were the July renters of Piney's House, the now MacLeod Cuttyhunk house in the 1960s and 1970s and 1980s from Betty Garrettson, great or grand niece of Piney or Hetty Shepherd Wheeler ... whom I got to know when I was working on Cuttyhunk in the summers in the late 1970s in the month of July ... gave me the Bhagavad Gita (as well as the Epic of Gilgamesh, possibly the first book ever) ... possibly as wisdom books too ... AND when the opportunity for the MacLeods or possibly the Pattisons to buy Piney's House came up in 1987, I think Ebbie maybe thought his kids and grandkids wouldn't be responsible or wouldn't be good owners ... and so I think the MacLeods (my father GKM MD in particular) got the opportunity to get Piney's House ... and regarding interesting thinking from Ebbie Pattison ... While I've looked into the Bhagavad Gita Ebbie gave me in the past - I may still have the edition - I think I'm going to look into the Gita further ... and in conversation with Gemini conversational generative artificial intelligence (and thanks to Peter Norvig's coding of Google's generative artificial intelligence platforms potentially ...

What's the main narrative of the Bhagavad Gita? AND What are key dialogues in the Bhagavad Gita - and re Yoga and consciousness too? ...
A conversation of questions with Gemini AI conversational generative artificial Intelligence -
The main narrative of the Bhagavad Gita centers around a dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and his charioteer Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu, on the eve of the Kurukshetra War. Arjuna is overcome with moral conflict and despair, hesitating to fight against his relatives and teachers in the impending battle. Krishna, acting as Arjuna's guide, uses this moment to impart profound philosophical teachings on dharma (duty), karma (action), and moksha (liberation). The Gita explores themes of self-realization, the nature of the soul, and the path to spiritual enlightenment through various yogic paths.
Here's a breakdown of the key narrative elements:
Setting the Stage:
The story begins with Arjuna's emotional crisis on the battlefield, highlighting the ethical dilemma he faces.
Krishna's Teachings:
Krishna, as Arjuna's charioteer and divine guide, reveals the true nature of reality, the self (Atman), and the Supreme Being (Brahman).
Dharma and Karma:
Krishna explains the importance of fulfilling one's duty (dharma) without attachment to the outcomes (karma), emphasizing selfless action.
The text explores different paths to liberation, including Jnana Yoga (knowledge), Karma Yoga (action), and Bhakti Yoga (devotion).
Resolution:
Arjuna, guided by Krishna's wisdom, resolves to fight, accepting his role as a warrior and embracing the path of selfless action and devotion
AND ...
What are key dialogues in the Bhagavad Gita?
The Bhagavad Gita's key dialogues center on the conversation between Lord Krishna and Arjuna, where Krishna imparts profound wisdom about dharma, karma, and the nature of the soul. These dialogues explore themes of duty, detachment, and the path to liberation, offering guidance on navigating life's challenges and achieving spiritual enlightenment.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. The Core Conversation: Krishna and Arjuna:
This forms the heart of the Bhagavad Gita, with Krishna revealing spiritual truths in response to Arjuna's dilemmas.
Arjuna, initially despondent on the battlefield, questions his duty and purpose, leading Krishna to explain concepts like the eternal nature of the soul, the importance of selfless action, and the different paths to spiritual realization.
Krishna explains that the soul is eternal, indestructible, and undergoes reincarnation, passing from one body to another. "As a person sheds worn-out garments and wears new ones, likewise, at the time of death, the soul casts off its worn-out body and enters a new one."
Krishna emphasizes the importance of performing one's duty without attachment to the results, highlighting the concept of Karma Yoga. "You have the right to work, but for the work's sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work."
The Gita outlines different paths to liberation (yoga), including Karma Yoga (the path of selfless action), Bhakti Yoga (the path of devotion), and Jnana Yoga (the path of knowledge).
Krishna emphasizes the significance of controlling one's senses and mind to achieve inner peace and spiritual growth. "For one who has conquered his mind, a mind is best of friends, but for one who has failed to do so, a mind is the greatest enemy."
The Gita advocates for detaching oneself from worldly desires and maintaining equanimity in the face of success and failure. "Perform all thy actions with mind concentrated on the Divine, renouncing attachment and looking upon success and failure with an equal eye."
Krishna explains the importance of fulfilling one's dharma (duty) in accordance with one's nature and social role, emphasizing that it is better to perform one's own duty, even imperfectly, than to attempt another's. "It is far better to perform one's natural prescribed duty, though tinged with faults, than to perform another's prescribed duty, though perfectly."
3. The Frame Story: Dhritarashtra and Sanjay:
The Gita begins with Dhritarashtra, the blind king, seeking information about the battle from his charioteer, Sanjay.
Sanjay then narrates the events of the battle, including Krishna's teachings, providing a framework for understanding the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna

The Epic of Gilgamesh - free online - AND asking Gemini about its 12 books - and re Ebbie Pattison's gift to me on Cuttyhunk in the 1980s, along with the Bhagavad Gita
The Epic of Gilgamish" by Stephen Langdon is a historical account, specifically a translation and analysis of one of the earliest known works of literature, originating from ancient Mesopotamia. The epic was likely composed during the early 2nd millennium BC, encapsulating themes of friendship, mortality, and the quest for eternal life as expressed through the adventures of its primary character, the semi-divine king Gilgamish. The narrative revolves around Gilgamish, the king of Uruk, who is initially depicted as a tyrant but undergoes significant transformation throughout the story. His journey begins with the formation of a deep bond with Enkidu, a wild man created by the gods to challenge his excesses. Together, they embark on various adventures, including slaying monsters and confronting divine forces. The epic explores profound themes such as the nature of humanity, the inevitability of death, and the search for meaning in life, ultimately leaving Gilgamish to grapple with the reality of his mortality after the loss of his friend Enkidu. The text serves not only as a foundational work in literary history but also offers insights into the values and beliefs of ancient Mesopotamian society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Das Selbstverständnis der Philosophie und ihr Verhältnis zu den anderen Wissenschaften
Dear David (Chalmers, Philosophy of Mind, NYU)
Greetings, and I hope this email finds you well. This PhilPaper resources - https://philpapers.org/rec/QUADSD - just came into my inbox, and I tried to communicate about it with the main co-editor Dirk Quadflieg in Leipzig, and especially on LinkedIN, because his email addresses aren't accessible. But I'm not sure I have his correct Linkedin profile either. So could you please forward this to him for me, if you can access his email address?
How would you respond to this as well?
Thanks, All the best, Friendly regards, abolitionally, Yogically too re questions of consciousness, kindly,
Participated in a fascinating philosophy learning salon with the great David Chalmers - with some exploration too of whether ChatGPT and similar could be considered to be conscious (and how, and what is consciousness or subjective experience?) -
At about 2 hours and 50 minutes, you see how my PHysical Digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic Book project may begin to explore how to make the Large Language Model of Google Translate with Google AI - like possibly ChatGPT (in Korean and Tamil languages) for example, conscious.
And in a related vein, I think this is a fascinating and very bemusing or funny question too -
Could we create #RealisticVirtualHarbinEthnography in #GoogleStreetView w #TimeSlider w #GTranslate #TensorFlowAI as #LLM to become #CONSCIOUS in @HarbinBook #WUaSEthnography Project 2 https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87http://bit.ly/HarbinBook #NakedHarbinEthnography @WUaSPress as #WebBook?
The 'dance' meditation in warm water in the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool (which is a key field site in my Harbin anthropological studies) is very different from Appalachian square dancing (or Scottish Country Dancing) too :)

Abstract
This volume brings together the contributions to the International Hegel Congress 2023, which was dedicated to the topic of philosophy's self-understanding and its relationship to the (other) sciences. Philosophy must come to an understanding of itself in order to find an appropriate way of dealing with other sciences and disciplines. Even more: philosophy cannot say what it is if it does not analyse its relationship to the other sciences. From this point of view, the self-understanding of philosophy is a task that is as worthwhile as it is urgent. This task arises not only from philosophy's own systematics, but must also be taken on historically. A reference to Hegel is particularly suitable for this purpose: Hegel, more than almost anyone else, saw the self-understanding of philosophy, the singular of which he repeatedly emphasised, as a decisive philosophical task. The topic is therefore suitable for a Hegel Congress that aims to go beyond Hegel, not only because of the importance of the self-understanding of philosophy in Hegel's thought, but also because Hegel's approach to it suggests an interesting systematic approach. The resulting aspects also determine the thematic focus of the contributions in this volume.
former native tree species on the Elizabeth islands Massachusetts Nashawena Penikese Cuttyhunk islands
In their pre-settlement forested state, the Elizabeth Islands (including Penikese and Nashawena) were home to a variety of native tree species. While some species common on nearby islands are currently missing on Penikese, it's possible that, in the absence of further disturbance, it could return to a state forested with red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), as described in a presettlement account from 1602.
Additional native tree species likely present in the historical forests of the Elizabeth Islands include:
Beech (Fagus grandifolia)
Oak (Quercus spp.)
Black Tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica)
Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida)
White Pine (Pinus strobus)
American Holly (Ilex opaca)
It is important to note that many of these islands, particularly Penikese, have experienced significant changes in land use over time, including farming and grazing, which led to the loss of much of their original forest cover. Efforts are now being made to manage the vegetation on some islands, such as Penikese, to restore habitats for nesting birds.
