*** Now talking in #TheWizardsWay

 getting color coded?
* DarkGray chuckles
 Reflecting my moods
 I may remain more 'dark' until the new moon
 hello DarkGray

 I have, however - noted an interesting relation 
  between my moods & the moon
 I had been growing extatic & joyfully enchanted with 
  the rise of the moon
 hehehe
 After the passing of the full, I my moods have 
  'darkened' with the moon
 With a current desire to understand what evil is
 cant see the moon
 It's still a bit over half
 What do you think evil is Legend?
 darkness
 darkness
* DarkGray shivers
* DarkGray goes to switch off the lights in his room
*** ageya is on IRC
-> *Ageya* Good eve, thank you for your kind email
 haha very funny
*Ageya* you are welcome. good evening to you, dear one. why the 
  change in nick?
* DarkGray Ageya A reflection of current moods - influenced I 
  think by the wane of the moon.
 I actually did
*** Ageya (startoy@host-207-53-88-23.jax.bellsouth.net) has 
joined #Thewizardsway
* DarkGray chuckles
 cute
 hi, brothers and sisters.
 :)
 u have esp?
 hi
 At the moment I feel a noted pull to encompass my 
  darker self
 :)
 oh, well, that is cool, Chad. we all have to do that, in 
   order to get proper balance.
 True
*** Legend is now known as MoonBow
 right, all is good
 i can feel the diff in energy, too, chad.
 hi, cnh.
 :)
 hello, ageya
 To explore this side, I've an evil character in a MUD 
  game
 what a great way to do it!
 It fightens me at times
 yes, mine frightens me too.
 is very powerful, too.  i should do that in a MUD game, 
   great way for outlet.
 not logical if its all part of balance
 The evil characters on the mud almost worship this 
  character for it's ability to bring out the darkness in others
 CNH - logic makes it clear that I should not fear 
  this dark side
 Yet, I do not want to cause suffering in others
 yet it frightens you
* DarkGray nods
 so who is right, emotions or logic?
 Neither
 go on
*** Digitalis (digitalis@tc3ppp37.superiway.net) has joined 
#thewizardsway
 hi, digitalis.
 hi, digi
 welcome
 logic we can begin to comprehend with - but only 
  partially
 hi everyone. 
 hi Ageya
 emotion is the fuller perception, yet an unknowning 
  perception
 cnh, you don't think the best way to explore our dark 
   side is thru MUD games?
 "Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end." Spock
 :)
 i like that.
 It is a logical answer. 
 where is Watcher?
 :)
* DarkGray shrugs
 hmmmmmm.
 Where is Watcher?
 What do you think watcher?
* DarkGray sighs
 Server has been down this eveing
 oh, ok.
 CNH,u don't think that exploring our darksides thru MUD 
   is the solution?
 well, i don't buy into the theology of darkness that so 
   many accept, so, whether one explores it or not, and how, 
   really doesn't matter much to me, I just don't accept the 
   premises that surround the philosophy.
 hmmmmmm.
 if we don't have darksides and lightsides, how do we 
   reach balance?
 CNH - could you compare it to exploring your 
  unconscious
 I feel that we reach balance through oneness, with 
   our higherself. 
 how do you do that, digi?
 brb.
 k 
 Why is balance between light and dark so important?
 I spend some quiet time in meditation, and use a 
   couple of differnt methods of gaining a closeness with my 
   higherself. 
 In a way I agree CNH, as I don't see the need for 
   the balance between the two.  I for one favour light over 
   darkness... 
*** whytlyon is on IRC
 I agree with you Digi
 What is the difference between light & darkness
 To me there is as much differnce between light and 
   dark, as between night and day.  
 good questions, chad.
 yep
*** whytlyon (~whytlyon@24.1.64.207) has joined #thewizardsway
 Light is unconditional love. 
 yes, again, digi
 hi larry, gray, digitalis
 darkness holds fear of love, and also much hate.
 hi Whytlyon
 what about me???
 hi
 sorry, hi moonbow
 so, then since there is darkness, don't you think we 
   should get to know it?
 hi, whytlyon.
 it is me legend
 hehehehe
 hehe
 get to know the darkness
 sure, why not
 the void defines the rest
 my nick from when i changed it...but then went back to 
   legend
 seen a moonbow before?
 Ageya yes, it is good to know the darkness, but that 
   doesn't mean that it should be embraced, in the same manor as 
   light. 
 why not?
 digi?
 lyon, you statement about the void intrigues me....would 
   you care to elaborate?
 To embrace darkness, is to embrace, and also become 
   part of if not all of what it symbalizes. 
 in "Conversations with God" he holds that contention
 i LOVE that book, lyon.
 what does it mean?
 that there is All, and void too
 i think he was saying both were necessary
 that one could not exist without the other
 The void is the place from whence the singularity came, it 
   has nothing to do with "darkness"
 agreeed, whytlyon.
 i believe "darkness" is a judgement, a way of playing 
   the game, or looking at thigns
 things
 it all resolves back to the One anyway
 it's more PC to go for the light
 hehhee, sure is.
 :)
 and most have chosen that path
 While all of creation is part of God, including that 
   which is in darkness, we should not strive to strengthin our 
   darkness... I see Ascension like a forge in which the 
   impurities are removed. 
 i agree, digi, i just would like to reach a balance.
 and i feel that the MUD games are a good way to do that 
   with my dark side.
 sure, have fun
 i don't think we can stifle our dark sides.
 Perhaps if we come to know darkness, we will see that 
  it is not dark at all
 interesting theory, chad.
 howso?
 light, dark: different sides, same coin
 it is a good way to explore the darkside, with out 
   having to become dark. 
 wishful thinking, perhaps?
 Wrong Digitalis!
*** MoonBow is now known as MoonScape
 Oh, some part of me becomes very 'dark' indeed 
  through the process
 how so Dark?
 Aview or picture of the moon's surface, A desolate 
   landscape
*** whytlyon has quit IRC (Leaving)
 Is not MUG games only a series of games, to study 
   the mind.
 gotta run to a meeting. love you all.
 Fate Guard You, With Love.
 bye Ageya
 Well - it may be just a game, it may just be role - 
  playing
*** Ageya (startoy@host-207-53-88-23.jax.bellsouth.net) has left 
#Thewizardsway
 But - in exploring your 'dark' side - in personifying 
  that character
*** Ageya (startoy@host-207-53-88-23.jax.bellsouth.net) has 
joined #thewizardsway
 wb Ageya 
 meeting hasn't started yet. left too soon.
 thanks.
 Some part of you must become that character you create
 It is you, you are it
 Dark, you mean Role -playing as in games such as 
   Dungeons & Dragons? 
 Well, I've never played such - but I am playing a 
  similar game on the internet - I play Kutulu on the MUD The 
  Lost Unicorn
 To the many people who play this game, Kutulu is 
  almost a real being
 People really HATE this character .. and fear it
 gotta run, love you all.
 I have been a bit disturbed by the emotions I've 
  insighted in others
*** Ageya (startoy@host-207-53-88-23.jax.bellsouth.net) has left 
#thewizardsway
 bye Ageya, Light and Love.
 Fake game, real emotion..
 I also play and create such games, 
 Is it not like writting a novel, or taking part in a 
   play. 
 yes, it is only make believe... 
 Very much like writing a novel & taking part in a play
 and the emotions, are some what real  but that is 
   where mastery of the emotions is needed.
* DarkGray chuckles
 Thought over feelings
 A very male concept that is encouraged in this society
 On the flip side, emotions are given precedent
 Who is right?
 That is what true balance has to come into play, the 
   balance of thought, and also feelings... 
* DarkGray nods
 to release an emotion, with a evil thought, when one 
   is awakened can be very dangerious.
 The I have endangered myself many times
 In this exploration of evil & creation of character
 that would depend on your true state of "awakeness" it 
   would seem
 I become what I create - in order that the created 
  may seem more 'real'
 Are not the best actors those than can 'put 
  themselves in the role'?
 Is not the created and the creator one.  but when 
   one has control over there thoughts, and emotions, one can 
   play a convincing role, and still not endanger themselves to 
   much. 
 that is where the light comes into play.
 brb
 What scares you?
 Hmmmm... that is something that I really have to 
   think about, 
 for I can't say that death scares me, for I know 
   that it is only the shedding of a coat. 
* DarkGray nods.
 though I do admit that the thought of spending years 
   alone, does scare me. 
 even when I know that I am not really alone, 
 back
 wb
 Are you ever afraid that you may really be alone?  
  That you are mistaken?
 just got more money
 Erin, what scares you?
 didnt we already discuss this?
 darkness
 dark people
 is what i mean
 not when the lights go out
 hehehe
 Sometimes, in my weaker moments I fear things like 
   that, be everytime, my faith is re-confirmed. 
 Dark people... hmmm
 wicca
 people that use their abilities for the worst
 People who practice wicca, do not necessarily use 
  their ability for the worst
 Quite the contrary on majority
 no but the ones that do scare me
 Why?
 What is it that they could do?
 they use it for the wrong reasons...not for its 
   actual purpose
 It is the reasons, not the actions that scare you?
 yes
 What reasons are those?
 hmmm
 dont know how to explain it
* DarkGray raises an eyebrow
 dont know the reasons cause im not into that...but i 
   dont feel thatits right
 when they
 do it for the wrong reasons
 use it against others
 Do you think that, perhaps, those who use it against 
  others - do so because they don't truely understand
 yes
 Well, if they don't understand - should we condemn 
  them for their ignorance?
 yes
 Why?
 just kidding
