... Sounds great. I'm not sure that's exactly what I would mean by wu wei, which is more to do with how to actually act or act not in the world. It's just me, people disagree about labels. You are describing the mental activity/phenomenon of neither clinging nor rejecting. That is a potent method of realising the truth, so they say. I think it encourages a sort of relaxation, which is quite beneficial. As to the little tensions in the body, yes to recognise and observe them is interesting. The body has its own intelligence. There's a certain mode of intellect that is over dominant in most people. It can override the body's natural intelligence and cause illness. Best to listen quietly, to observe without judging overtly. ...

... Playing games I sometimes get ridiculous strings of positive dice results. Always when I don't want to win. When I don't want to upset the other person. I want the other person to win. That's when the double sixes start coming up again and again. It's really dumb. I hate beating the kids at board games. ...

... I think Brian is correct. There are a variety of different sorts of experience which get routinely classed as "synchronicitous." Some are just an artifact of consciousness, yes, self selection and obvious causal chains. Such are quite mundane. Others cannot be so easily dismissed. It is a matter of perception, yes. These clues are all around for everyone always. It is simply a matter of developing the necessary sensitivity to perceive the "synchronicity lattices." Well, actually, that is not such a simple matter. I have had synchronicities happen to me that were so overwhelming they were quite disorientating. I have difficulty with over sensitivity sometimes. I will never forget the bird's wing on the lawn. If I speak of that again we may finally get to the crux of the matter. ...

... With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound, He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down. Go go Godzilla! ...

... When you realise what it is to truly act, then you realise the "true you," in this lifetime, directly. Free will is paramount. Topmost peak. To act, not from conditioned habit response, which is self imposed blindness, but from an expanded awareness that neither clings nor rejects, but seeks only for universal benefit. This is one of the methods of the boddhisatvas. It has a magical effect if properly employed. I am not really sure if the above is correct or clear. I might edit. But I shall meditate on this: ...

... You think I should shove it in their faces? Like a cream pie. But I ain't no guinea pig, I'm an ascended hamster. ...

... Is twelve the number of completion? ...

... edited, mysteriously ...

... We have a poster mentioning certain alpha ahem bet agencies elsewhere, and now chiforce mentions psy cough chic cough sp cough ying. Not that I'm paranoid or nuthin'. But some poster said somewhere if someone demonstrated extraordinary abilities they might have the us and russian secret services after them. cf human potential movement. might edit later! ...

... Big bang, big crunch. Breathe out, breathe in. ...

... That's the thing, isn't it? Go for the eyes, Boo! I meditated upon it, and quickly came to the conclusion that the best thing to do, if you are serious about protecting yourself, is to block the first blow hard with one hand and simultaneously two finger strike into the assailant's eye sockets. I decided I would never want to do that, and would only do it if I thought my children were in serious danger. I mean, sticking and wrenching your fingers round in someone's eye sockets like their head was a bowling ball would cause some serious damage. Makes me feel ill thinking about it. ...

... But if Jackie Chan offered to pay me to be his teacher, I think I might say yes. That would be the most fun. ...

... Oh go on then, I've poked my head into chat tonight. Be warned, I am very shy. Like the Squonk. If you say mean things I shall dissolve in a puddle of tears. ...

... I dig a pony. ...

... This one's better. I love Karen Carpenter. In your mind you have capacities, you know, to telepath messages through the vast unknown... ...

... Those translations are hysterical. ...

... Oh for goodness sake Nungali. My comment was solely an observation that the exchange between Yascra and Chegg was in danger of becoming personal. I don't really like to see that amongst posters, there is no need. As to the original photo, my comment was the remark from Ramana Maharshi. I do NOT take the plight of the hungry or the destitute, or the sick lightly at all. I won't give you a list of the things I do that I feel are within my power to affect such matters. I act how and where I can. ...

... I love your lists Jeff. I like level 11. ...

... Nice. Satan is god's little helper. Left always acts in service of right. Evil is ever hoist by its own petard. Fear no evil. Cleave to what is beneficial. To be harmed not first seek none harm. Many believe the bible is full of mystical wisdom and prophecy. Super synch time! See that mudra? On my little temple thingy I have a Spiderman action figure, highly articulated, nice sculpt, not my fave spidey figure, actually its known as the "parachute" spidey from toybiz but was released on three different occasions, once as the parachute spidey in the spiderman classics range, then as a two pack with the green goblin (no parachute, the one I got), and finally in the Urban Legends pack with such notables as Electra and Daredevil. This spidey figure sits there with his right hand raised in that mudra, his left holding down a dalek drawing from my daughter. I did conceive it to ward off evil too. I put it up there yesterday. When I meditate I adopt that mudra as well, to mirror the small spidey figure on the temple. I didn't know anyone else did it. Thanks for that page o' wisdom, mr unseen abilities sir! Ha ha ha! I told you I was crazy. ...

... What is the meaning of the never returner? I contemplated the passages quoted by Simple_Jack for many years. To teach only dhukka and the cessation of dhukka. I think the historical buddha, no doubt after much consideration, perhaps made a conscious decision with regard to the form of his teachings. He always stressed pragmatism, didn't he? That is surely why he is known as the great physician of the world, rather than the great scholar, or sage. ...

... I'm so screwed, for instance, it ain't even funny. Xcept it is. You don't want what I got. Although, just a warning. I sometimes get the impression its contagious. ...

... A man's got to earn a crust. Perhaps folk can somehow be induced to pay to witness something a little strange. Come chat with me on my ppf, if you like. I'll likely happily talk a load of rubbish there. And yes, I have one or two videos, but I need to purchase new photographic/av equipment. My life's a bit turbulent at the moment, but I'll manage. ...

... More happy smiley faces please! Ramana Maharshi said the highest teaching was in silence. ...

... I got a voice, I can dance, I can write lyrics. Maybe we could collaborate, fame and fortune beckon. I could do more video and audio recordings. ...
