Don't listen to this negativity. It's the worst kept secret of the Matari that Elsebeth doth protest too much but then just squees and titters when hugged without warning or permission. Especially by Imperials. I wholeheartedly recommend trying it out.

Are you trying to condense 99% of the IGS communication in a single place?

Maybe that can be the theme of my next party, do you have any recommendations for military units that specialise in hostile extractions?

Just out of curiosity, exactly how many right thinking people do you think there are in the cluster?

I am 21cm taller than you. If you are a physical colossus what am I then?

I've recently noted that you seem to be one of those people who use a lot of words to say nothing at all.

Actually, she tends to use a lot of words improperly to say very little, and when it's pointed out, attempts obfuscation. Think of her as a verbal octopus, changing colors and textures, and then jetting away in a cloud of ink.

I like to use as few words as possible. I've been mocked for this in the past by certain edgier members of the community, but I personally find no value in obscuring intent behind a wall of prose.

With me, it's a war between brevity, and striving for clarity.

Brevity loses, a lot.

... it's also possible to either use such devices maliciously or forget to stay grounded and get lost (an expression of mental illness, maybe).

My sad impression of this person is that she uses our spiritual beliefs and practices, without empathy or self-awareness, as a source of excuses to do as she pleases.

No need for excuses, this vessel merely manifests it-¦s will and shapes the universe when it does. Empathy means an emotional connection that your training should have taught you, is an artifical context that gives structure to your ego.

Out of curiosity, what was your training like? Lot-¦s of meditation, mantras, homage to ancestors and a list of rights and wrongs. Honor, duty, "do this", "don-¦t do that"?

I don't remember what it was like anymore. But there are indeed duties that come with being human, Ms. Tsukiyo: humility, curiosity, moderation, compassion.

Just because a thing isn't "real" doesn't make it unimportant. A creature like you, blundering through the Totality without a care for others, will leave a tear of misery and shattered lives.

You see yourself as enlightened. I think you are lost, like my predecessor before you. Her error at least had some nuance to it, though.

I can't complain about your curiosity, at least.

Then you may coinsider returning to your teacher so you can remember a few things such as "the finger is not special, is not necessary and means nothing". Specially pre-conceptions like "duty" and other a priori assumptions. The Totality does not care for such things.

Did i ever say it wasn-¦t important?

Did i ever say it wasn-¦t important? Again the assumptions! I-¦m inviting people to join the experience of integration in the totality in a way that is free and available to everyone. A gamechanger that will blow the game table away. Does it mean that there will be a trail of misery and shattered lives? Well, if you consider that the sand doll "died", you may think this way. But you out of most people here should know what im talking about.

Not only i never said that i was enlightened, but i wouldn-¦t recomend it to anyone. Drawing trees and birds on your cage doesn-¦t mean you-¦re free. And freedom only means something in a context of prision.

Just because we-¦re one step further than the Sleepers, doesn-¦t mean we don-¦t have to walk anymore.

While you're calling out "assumptions", you might want to notice that in fact, you've just directly answered your own question. Yes. You've said 'it'GÇöevery it, every potential "it"GÇöisn't important. Right before you asked.

Soooo... I think I'm gonna trust Aria's 'assumptions' over your self-contradiction.

Ooo, though. Surely you knew that contradictions and assumptions and all other things, even sandwiches, will all disappear into something much more important once we are all an icky brain-jellyfish and transcend to something-or-other?

Because it WILL. And then we can start having important brain jellyfish feelings.

What was never had cannot be lost.

If you remove the "And then we can start having important brain jellyfish feelings.", that is a good summary.

That is the most important part of the summary, don't be ridiculous. ONLY brain jellyfish can have important feelings, and you have been saying this all along. Everything else? Not important. Must become jellyfish first. Only jellyfish things matter.

So close, no matter how far.

Yeah, but let's face it: your opinion's not important. You said so.

Miss Jenneth, I have always found it interesting that while my beliefs are similar to Miss Tsukiyo's and yours and your predecessor's, I've also found some things in how you think that I consider a little contradictory, and where I'm actually a little surprised you are not more like me and Miss Tsukiyo.
