Bodacious Bay Sonoma California :)


Hi Ed, Ma, Sid, All, 

Very glad the WUaS Corporation's tax return for 2017, our 3rd legal entity, is re-filed in the state of California for a second time this year, with the California FTB ... where the 3 WUaS legal entities together are a bit bodacious in their own regards.


More about this Bodacious Bay email thread in these 2 recent blog posts - 

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/09/emigrant-wilderness-area_0606112083.html



But how both to expedite gene function decline reversal re George Church here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/09/borneo-orangutan-pongo-pygmaeus_072504751.html - and could new genetic tools in a realistic virtual earth for genetics at WUaS help? And in a related vein, also in a 2nd blog post from today, how to further develop video gaming for mental health (and regarding the MIT example here, & newly at bottom of this post above), and here too -  http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/09/sumatran-orangutan-pongo-abelii.html ... 

And regarding an iterating approach to 'ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy' social theory, and a new methodology, how best can we all build out an actual-virtual, physical-digital, realistic, virtual Harbin (Universe too) -https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1434309190596448259?s=19 - for STEAM research (and at the street view, cellular and molecular levels with realistic Avatar Bots - eventually for tele-robotic surgery even)?

All the best, 
Scott

Hi Ed, Ma, Sid, All, 

Harbin Hot Springs itself is a bit bodacious :) Who here has visited Harbin Hot Springs? :)  (It's my actual-virtual ethnographic field site, next book potentially printed from text-in-the-sidebar or Google Street View with Time Slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlowAI, Translate, with realistic avatar bots even, such as Samsung Neons, aka artificial humans ... and potentially in a new book format too - #wuAsVR Virtual Reality book :)

Just shared this (email below re UUs, Friends, and Harbin Heart Consciousness Church) with some of you re seeing your 'stuff' at Harbin Hot Springs, and found one paragraph from my 324 (8.5x11 inch) book which touches on the 'stuff' word twice:  


In its warm pool and valley as place, Harbin's counterculture, as “social” sociocultural processes, involves connecting and interactions between more than one individual (as a defining characteristic, too, of emergent virtual worlds like Second Life these days - Boellstorff 2008:92), in the pool area, particularly, which is very visually oriented. Harbin's warm pool adds and complements many familiar and normative sociocultural processes in modernity, with clothing-optionality, a warm aqueous environment, and a counterculture, where people are free to cuddle and love each other, naked, outside and in a beautiful, natural place, or simply soak alone together with others in the Harbin warm pool, also all very visual, partly

because talking doesn't occur, for example, in the warm pool. And in many ways, people see their own stuff at Harbin, that is, they see people they are uniquely attracted to, for example, or natural aspects of Harbin such as (what I call) the Dragon ridge from the warm pool on the other side of the valley, or the fig-tree-over-the-warm-pool's little jeweled treasures suspended from its branches. But Harbin in its hippy and Gestalt-Center-with-hot-springs' origins is about seeing the whole, and, even more, living this in the now in “Living the Future,” (Ishvara 1996). To know Harbin involves all visitors and residents being (anthropological?) participant-observers – Seers, with a capital S in the Upanishads (Prabhavananda 1957) - in the pool area, for example, - in the going into and out of the pools, naked, and in the now. And

this visuality informs, socioculturally, the Harbin-family, and the Harbin property as land and territory for this tribe of residents and visitors. In this interpretation, Harbin is partly about seeing/being our naked, attractive, natural selves, as well as seeing our own stuff, as human primates (an idea which not many people have at the fore of their minds) in the New Age, at ease in the pools, which the 1960s significantly opened the way for, counter-culturally.  p.91


Here's the email I sent to some of you as well: 

Hi Ma, All,

I think this place, where I'm sitting presently, is a Friendly UU Church (Quaker that is) because of its deep ongoing silence (re self-quarantine questions ongoing, in Berkeley 'society') ... But not a Harbin Hot Springs' UU Church ... because there are no waters to soak in (socially or communally esp) ... & because in my experience there's much less of an exploration of feelings or emotions that are 'oneself' among UUs or Friends than possibly at Harbin for some people ... And one sees one's 'stuff' (psychologically) at Harbin Hot Springs - an interpretation from my book 'Naked Harbin Ethnography' (can't find the page # presently but see my Dalton Friends' letter here ~ http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2011/04/friends-dalton-letter.html ~ and ~
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/02/blue-borage-4th-harbin-hot-springs.html?m=0) ~ which, if one's attuned to the 'Yoga' of one's feelings or emotions,'' as I am a bit, one can explore this as feelings there at actual Harbin :) ... Am sitting on the UU Church hill, close to the bench I sit on regularly when walking here, near a 'chalice flame', but, earlier now, than often, am sitting on the support for the metal flame sculpture. How are you? How was your day? Love, Scott (now how to enter into an amazing Virtual Harbin and soak in warm water too)?

Now how to circulate to find a lovely love and partner, and to begin a family? Here?

💕 Love you, Scott 


PS
Again,
I looked up Yoga in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, and interestingly found an article on emotions in Yoga - https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/concept-emotion-india/ written by http://faculty.salisbury.edu/~jptuske/ - and which ('feelings' ... and re Yoga) is a focus of Angela Farmer (from whose Yoga circles, I'm a dropout, in a 1960s' sense, along with VvK's) ... but regarding WUaS seeking to make psychiatry  and 'talk therapy' easily available online (as information technology too, which can have an effect on 'brain' processes, per perhaps French psychiatrist psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan MD's oft cited observation that "The unconscious is structured like a language") ... 

In teaching Yoga a bit, I explore questions of ideas of feelings - experiences with feeling them too - and what comes up, here ... http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html ...  and on the 'writing' - virtual - hippy bus too (but not too much in physical or actual classes on-the-ground ... Although it could be an interesting focus in online Yoga classes, I haven't seen this done successfully yet ... having explored taking an online course with Angela a few months ago, after which I dropped out of their A&V Yoga circles ) ! :)

Friendly regards,
Scott

Some of this is here in my blog post from today :)

Fond regards, Scott

HI Peter, Ed, Lydia, Pin, Larry, Friends, All, 

Just BOOTED the smartphone (Pixel 3a), but I don't think that's the issue :) Could MIT be playing 'traffic cop,' since a MIT Japanese Book title post from MIT Professor Hiroshi Ishi just popped up in WUaS's Twitter feed ...  https://twitter.com/ishii_mit_BOT/status/1439680863709515776?s=20 ? But after my smartphone rebooted and was working again, my Skype message to Peter had gone through ... 15-30 minutes later ... and at the same time as the re-boot. So both these Apps appear to be working, afterall, yet with new glitches ... seems like regulation questions emerge further here (and even regarding the regulation questions that WUaS is Minuting here - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2021/09/91821-agenda-news-for-world-univ-sch.html?view=sidebar in item B, B 1 and B 2 for example).

How to blanket the earth with broadband connection? (A hippy thing?:) And how to charge' the earth for universal reliable electricity'? :) If World Univ & Sch doesn't plan for wiki, people-to-people, free universal education, some other entity might (remembering the wisdom regarding one's own agency of "If you don't plan, someone else will").

Cheers, 
Scott

Here are some UN articles on mobile phones ... https://news.un.org/en/tags/mobile-phones ... and which seem to suggest an Universal Life Line approach (like in America where a phone line is legally a universal life line, and costs almost nothing or nothing, for those who don't have the money).

Just some further related ideas in our online 'email commune thread' here regarding Bodacious Bay adventuring together in our smartphones in Google cardboard in a realistic virtual earth for traveling  :) 

In a quite related vein, just shared the following with Peter Bothe (who created the lovely WUaS Logos!) - 

Skype & Pi Network - re Network Neutrality?

"Hallo, Peter,I  just Skyped to you this message about 5 minutes ago - 

"Hallo, Peter, sind die drei - Scholz, Baerbock und Laschet irgendwie alle auf der linke Seite? Lohnt sich dass fuer die Ende der Armutheit, weltweit fuer 7,8 Milliarden Menschen? Hoffentlich ! Und in welche Richtung geht die Information Technology revolution in Deutschland im vergleich zu der USA?

... and it hasn't gone through from my Smartphone yet ... (now after about 15 minutes).

During this time, my 24 hour Mine Pi App said it was time for me to mine Pi again ... and I got 2 new error messages, before I was able to Mine Pi the 3rd time for today. ... https://minepi.com/sgkmac ... 

How would network neutrality be 'enforced' in each of the ~200 countries where it was law I wonder, and per Barbara van Schewick's recent Tweet in these regards, too - https://twitter.com/vanschewick/status/1433698428064702466?s=20

All regarding, also, items 6, and items B, B 1, and B 2 ... in the Agenda and News for yesterday's Monthly Business Meeting at WUaS - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/09/eriogonum-alpinum-91821-agenda-and-news.html - possibly. 

Thoughts or questions? 

Friendly regards, Scott

Dear UN-Larry, Ed, Ma, Friends, Pin, UUs too, All,

Pretty & clear day here out on garden patio with winter coat on ... Can see vividly Mt. Tamalpais, Golden Gate Bridge, and SF ... The bay waters are calm and blue ... Large expanse ... More about our 'virtual' - not yet in Google Street View realistic virtual earth for communal travels (hippy bus idea?) - Bodacious Bodega Bay travels here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/09/john-muir-wilderness-backpackiing-where.html - as well as the video recording of the open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting for 9/18/21.

Electric power just went out here ... Unusually (in the 'safe house' I'm staying in, but feels similar to power outages in Canyon 94516, where I lived for about 13 years (and who flipped the switch? And why? Or?) ... Can't microwave the coffee, but soft boiled egg is cooked thanks to the gas stove. Smart Phones work with battery and internet but laptop's wifi router is off.  

Regarding UBI Experiments for 7.8 billion people in 200 countries, UN mobile phones for refugee camps in east Africa for example? ... And possible UN bank cards for digital transactions ... without using electricity? ... What to do for 7.8 billion and UBI Experiments if the electricity goes off, even if most people will have UN smartphones or similar in 20 years?  Hmm ... What do you think?

Ongoing call for abolition of the illegal sex industry (following on the abolition of slavery) - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/06/bald-eagle-abolition-nontheist-quakers.html and http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/09/galapagos-tortoise-abolition-of-illegal.html (in all 200 countries per law first) - and in World University and School planning to code for, brainstorming-wise, all 7.8 billion people on planet, as wiki teachers & learners, and to end poverty via UBI Experiments ... & to distribute a single cryptocurrency to most of the ~200 countries. 

Bodega Bay trip, again, yesterday was fun, hippy-wise (a communal email?:), in a sense, in the 2020s ... But the future is a heads (ahead, a head) ...

Tym!

Hi thee from near Bodega Bay - north of there at a place I'm calling Voracious Bay or Bodacious Bay - beautiful, a bit gray and overcast but no rain. As I came into Bodega, I saw a guy putting out a Honey sign by the side of the road. I know him a bit from Harbin, with honey colored hair too, & I've seen him at the Berkeley Bowl too ... Bee keeper I'd guess ... Nice guy (old hippy with short hair, knows Harbin folks ... Small world ... Back to a kind of connecting world here up north ... Lots of hippies once were here in the 60s and 70s and things may not have changed much for their offspring ... And in the Salmon Creek State Beach pull off, I saw a very cool trailer house, with a dream catcher coming out of the roof, pulled by a white pick up, with a number of surfboards in the back. He was getting one out to go surfing as I passed by ... Picture attached.  ... And two 20-something yo women passed by separately in parking lot too ... Seemed possibly interesting ... And more than I've seen of a possible eligible type in a long time ... Not quite for me ... But these Sonoma coast parking lots could be a good place to bring a friend were we starting to connect ...since there might be a group of people around sympatico-like. 

Can't invite you to put your smartphone into Google Cardboard to check out this Viking Strand beach turnoff where I am now, if you happened to get one before they were stopping this spring, and if it's not raining where you are (since it could melt outside in the rain:) - and to head outside on a walk together, since I can't stream into a mutual virtual earth, for hiking together virtually ...

Let's v sometime, and talk before!

Woman has her feet in a little tide pool down below cliffs in Pacific ocean ... With lots of not quite Viking landscape size stacs 🤩

Love, Scott

Hi Ma, John, Joan, Sandy, All, 

Warm greetings, and I hope this finds you well! How are you? 

Feelings, and feeling them, are an interesting exploration in the context of Yoga (which I've learned a bit about, as a dropout, in Angela & Victor's Yoga courses) ... regarding 'what comes up' (perhaps a Friendly Quaker thing too ... re a kind of 'leading' - as a 'meme' - 'replicating cultural unit' - among Friends ... ie when one is moved to do something by a 'leading' ... which, as a Non-theist Friend, I'm newly construing not as by some notion of 'spirit' or the 'divine' but possibly by some idea of inner Light (re creative envisioning to see and feel by) ... and where World Univ & Sch itself is a kind of Friendly leading, as I've written about in my blog over the years ... ) ... But Angela's explorations of feelings with Yoga & asana-informed movement play are more hippy, than Iyengar Yoga (I-anger some have called this), with amazing envisioning in the Yoga unfolding that occurs in A&V's courses ... and which may have gone awry, or astray, losing the benefits of possibly the title of Spike Lee's 1989 movie 'do the right thing.' And yet Yogini Angela Farmer going into Angela's 'stuff' and also modeling this for the people who come to her courses, as a kind of teaching, and with her remarkable poetry of visionary freeing Yoga, artistically too ... is something I learn from, and re how far and uniquely and creatively I and people can go in exploring feeling, and more.

But feeling feelings in the sense of an Angela and Victor Yoga course context (somewhat hippy gathering creative artistic Yoga), or in the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool (where Angela has taught a women's retreat at Harbin for many years), is perhaps a new 'leading' re Friendliness for me ... Or also in Unitarian Universalist spheres too (at least how I'm thinking of this ... and recognizing that this Harvard-trained, Massachusetts' born UU Minister Paul Sawyer ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/10/spicebush-swallowtail.html .(with pictures here too the UU Church of Kensington Berkeley).. invited the Grateful Dead to play at an UU Church in southern California in 1966 - and that UUs as Liberal Religious Youth (LRY - or little red Yogis, I've heard this called too:) have likely been exploring feelings - in a liberal religious context - for many decades, and in a variety of ways ... )

And doing Yoga asana explorations can bring a balance too to what comes up (wildnesses?) when exploring feelings ... both potentially with healing benefits (where some forms of explorations of feelings can involve speaking about them in language ... i am thinking here of Yale trained George Alexander MD's Lacanian approach to psychiatry and psychoanalysis, as a family friend, having shared Xmas dinners for about 23 years with him and his family), and 'grounding' benefits. 

I appreciate the tie dye liberation of exploring feelings in creative new liberating ways while playing with Yoga movement  ... Unitarian-wise, Friends' wise, and Heart Consciousness Church (Harbin)-wise .(not yet as a realistic virtual Harbin -

https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1434309190596448259?s=20 - and even regarding the new #HashTag here #legalITethics :).

Warmly, Scott
