In light of tao, the comment comes somewhere in between without affinity towards either end. I guess you're meant to take it however you want to take it.

You are very down to earth my friend.

Truly, at your age, perhaps it will be hard. The fire will cause you to feel your body shake and tremble... It will feel uncomfortable! A thing to avoid, but truly, the fire must break down the blockages and cleanse the body. The fire must be cooling. Done with correct breathing you will feel your body cool and tingly, light and airy. The fire does not burn!
-
Perhaps I do not know a thing... But my experience tells me otherwise!
-
Truly time is nothing if one knows what must be done. Do you know the energy that flows upward? The one that causes giddiness and causes you to see the world in quickness? In complete appraisal? This you must chase endlessly. This is living in the moment completely. This is shedding the wandering mind. To become immortal one must have mastery through mind. You can do much for yourself in the remaining time. Just maintain the fire!

It's important! Maintain the fire outside of worldly experience and that is the beginning of alchemy. Constant fire tempers the awareness, deepens the awareness. Over a long time, if maintained, you will gain something vital and it will be like adding great strength to the legs of a decrepit old lady whose legs were once weak. They will become strong and be able to climb mountains. The fire is the lightness of your step!

In my experience, this is the key to my success and my progress. The fore will often give one a headache and will probably give you a stomach ache. It'll make you tingle and shiver, and feel in the moment. Who has experienced this and knows what I speak of?
-
Truly and verily! In what sense does a view constitute a you? In what sense, truly, is there a viewer and a view? Even the ten thousand things are unseen. For one who see's without seeing has seen the Tao. One who's being has relinquished all contrivances see's without seeing. One who has become like the flame of emptiness, the lightning of awareness ever radiates the horizan and shakes the world with it's thunder. Become like a fire in the depths of the ocean.

Who sees the unseen?
-
The Tao is supreme. Do I see it through the ten thousand, the three, the two, the one?
-
Who is there? Is there anyone? I do not see... A single person! I do not see...
-
Who are you?
-
The Three Corpses, the Nine Worms - are you still "on" grains?

Very Good! Thank you. -
Reality allows and disallows?

Wow is that what you think innocence is? What is one reality compared to two?
