  1. Counterbalancing Good & Evil

    I disagree that evil lends to the desire to live. I can say personally, that if I do something that might not be exactly evil, but just not the way I like to live my life, I feel like shit about it, thus no added desire to live, at least in that way. I think you might be trying to touch on balance and how we find natural balances in life with others and in nature. I do not believe that grasping on to good and bad, positive and negative are ways to find balance. Balance comes easily once we have let go of our mind stories of good and bad, positive and negative. I am not sure about the scripture you mention, but I will look into it even though at this point I am not seeing any correlation to the OP.
  2. The Goal

    +1 I second that, cheya!!!
  3. Presence Process

    Let's be honest here... It was not AYP so it was removed. Yogani is becoming more and more restrictive about content outside of his specific system of practices.
  4. Awareness is exhausting!

    When our mind is still and in touch, we are able to take in much more energy from our surroundings. That energy is "knocking" on the blocks within us. As your energy body grows and you let go more and more you will become less fatigued and more open to everything around you. I spoke with a Geshe about this a while back. He suggested that if there is a particular area in the body that is tired, place some gentle focus there and relax into it for a minute or two. He also suggested that when breathing to breath in in such a way as to feel the breath in the entire body before exhaling. If you can, take your shoes off and walk around bare footed for a few minutes. It always helps me with the irritation. You are going to be ok. I'd say you are on the right track and to be patient with yourself, force nothing, stay in the flow for as long as you can. It will smooth out.
  5. Learning to surf the Ocean of energy

  10. Why can't I sign out?

    The attempted upgrade was not successful; there are a couple of issues that need to be resolved by the software provider.
  11. Is America trending towards Fascism?

    To maintain the integrity of an operation equates corruption? Sounds pretty logical to me. β€œIn order to maintain tactical surprise, ensure operational security and force protection, the coalition will not routinely announce or confirm information about the capabilities, force numbers, locations, or movement of forces in or out of Iraq and Syria,” Eric Pahon, a Pentagon spokesman, told the Times.
  12. Trans and Taosim

  13. Https in the Dao Bums too

    Yeah, well, let's hope that our members are above those types of disgusting behaviors. We can live in fear or we can just live. I guess it is up to the individual.
  14. Seeker finds dao bums!

    Welcome to the bums. We are happy you found your way here.
  15. Https in the Dao Bums too

    I am not sure what the benefit would be to make TDB https. Most everything here is visible to the public, except a select few areas. I am a member of several internet forums/communities, none of them are https. There is no posting of information that can trace back to us personally unless we share it. I would hope that folks are not sharing passwords, credit card or banking information. We can be as anonymous as we would like to be. I, personally do not see the risk.

  22. A common theme is to let go. Enlightenment is just a word. It means something different to every person who says it; words are not a good compass.
