Webinar: Beyond Being, Beyond Mind, Beyond History 2012
== WHAT'S UP? == Czech version - česky
Presentations and discussions on the relevant philosophical-spiritual-historical topics that are present in the work of the same title written by Elías Capriles, a professor of history and philosophy, and a long term student of various vajrayana buddhist and atiyana-dzogchen masters, including Dudjom Rinpoche, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Thinle Norbu Rinpoche, Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche etc., spending over 6 years in a personal retreat in the Himalaya mountains, doing there atiyana upadesha practice based on receiving pith instructions from the masters. Elías should connect to a Q&A session in November!
DATE OF NEXT MEETING
Next week no meeting on Tuesday, but I will give a speech on Thursday at the “Between Worlds” convention at 13.00. If the internet connection will be OK there it will be streamed online. Then next week there is a proposal to change the day & time to Monday or Wednesday at 20h.
- face2face in Brno, Czech Republic (probably in the tearoom of Faculty of Social Studies, Masaryk University)
TOPIC OF THE EXTRA SPEECH (Thursday 25th October 13:00 CEST):
2012 and the reductio ad absurdum of Kaliyuga?
No specific text to study for it is aimed at non-prepared audience of 15-40 people. VERY probably it will be held in Czech language!

WHY AM I DOING THIS?
Because I am excited about Capriles' work, and being myself a practitioner of Dzogchen teachings transmitted by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu rinpoche I like very much the attempt to use this standpoint for looking at Western philosophy, ideology and more or less hidden metanarrations that drive our society at this time. I belive it could be useful for others too.

AnyMeeting webinar platform information
The webinar remote connection will be realized using the AnyMeeting webconference platform: http://www.anymeeting.com/brozkeff1
You need to have the Java plugin correctly working and a microphone. It is recommended to have a webcam available, too.
In case some people will face difficulties with connecting via AnyMeeting there are some alternative platforms available, like Google Talk or Skype. The problem generally is with the maximum amount of people that could attend the video/audioconference at the same time. If you know some other platform (optimally a free one) that you can recommend, you can recommend it to be used, I am open to anything that will work good enough to fill the requirements of this course, that is at least a reliable audio connection of all the members connected, and optimally also the video connection, ability to show other documents (slides, videos, texts) and send text messages to all or individual members connected. Best is to be a free plaform or you can donate some commercial solution :)
