moment

I have to admit that this thread is turning out soooo much more interesting than I thought it would! HOO-AH!

“5 haiku” (by Sonia Sanchez) 1. You sniff dog-like around language 2. i taste your saliva spiked with applause 3. painted beads falling from your fingertips 4. poems going the wrong way in moonlight 5. you fast talking manicured poet sailing on glass.”

"suffering through the biggest garbage in the English language, Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged." Total agreement! Sociopath's are getting far too much attention on their mediocre works, especially the last 60 years or so in the USA.

Spinning, spinning! There is a reality within you--that is your compass and in the finding, is where we connect!

Be a wushu player, longtime and maybe you wil lbe great, maybe not. But, I guarrantee, you will be a much better person!

Good travels all and be well!

No, they must evolve enough to be able to say that

15. What is the #1 thing that TDB needs now? "Hexagram card" The I-Ching and Tarot have many things in common. Creative Power: Ancient symbols of dynamic, arousing force that is about creative movement. If the preponderance of our will here is for the greater good, positive actions will most likely meet with success. This is an excellent time to exercise leadership, because we are strong now. But be warned: success turns to failure if strength is abused. This first hexagram contains all yang lines and is one of the most auspicious readings in the Book of Changes. Whoever draws this hexagram is assured success if they follow its six stages of development, starting with: Being sensitive to conditions and doing things in the right order. The means is here now to make real the potential of this moment. Believe in your dreams and persevere. Call upon our creative power and let it work through us. Stay focused on goals and yet, relax, and have a lot of fun. Needless distractions ( unnecessary disruptions of OP's threads) may lose the power that is available to grow now. Success requires making the right moves at the right time.

The unexamined life is not worth living. -----------------------------Socrates He said this famous quote at his trial, when he chose death over dishonor and lies.

If you can dictate one's sexuality, you control them!

To hell with the latex! let's git down and dirty! (Junior Bums, please look away).

Geeez effin christos, give me a break!

All of the truths you will ever need, are hidden in every little mundane thing you do.

I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing. -------------------Socrates The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground. ------------------Gautama Buddha The unexamined life is not worth living. -----------------------------Socrates

I would not believe anything Sheila said about anything. Whatever happened to leaders being held accountable? Also, thinking that someone, that had aquired that much wealth and influence, was oblivious to what was happening is naive and ludicrous. One of the testimonies to his power is that people still defend this guy.

He alerted them because he saw the writing on the wall! He was the ultimate dodger. As usual you are coming into a thread with diversion without realizing that the most important thing going on here is heartbreaks need for a break-through. Try to see whole pictures. Again, I am signing off for a while.

Ok, I am going to sign off for a while. But, you are in good hands here! Relax a little and be well. I will be interested in watching you grow!

I sense pain and confusion here. Alright, many here have worked through that.

Geez! Ralis is far more educated on this particular subject than you are! To pass such judgement without doing research (history and forum searches here on TDB) reveals exactly why we must be cautious in giving out information to you. Start looking around and learn. Again, consider that as a primary need in your spiritual practice, now.

Newbie speak!

Absolutely not! There are some good, knowledgeable people on this site for this particular subject. But, you need to figure out who they are. Now, that is part of your spiritual practice.

Because you brought him up and apparently you did not do your homework on the subject.

As a slight aside. But, since the door was opened and also since it happened in my area and time: The 1984 Rajneeshee bioterror attack was the food poisoning of 751 individuals in The Dalles, Oregon, through the deliberate contamination of salad bars at ten local restaurants with Salmonella. A group of prominent followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (later known as Osho) led by Ma Anand Sheela had hoped to incapacitate the voting population of the city so that their own candidates would win the 1984 Wasco County elections.The incident was the single largest bioterrorist attack in United States history. I have been hearing off and on about the great Osho, etc. So,--- He was a truly evil SOB That was so good at mind control that he could get many people ( such as Ma Anand to fall on their swords for him), because of that the Feds here, could not put him in a dark hole, forever like he deserved. Instead, my government deported him and banned his return for life. He is a perfect example of being turned by the forces that he tried to control. Truly a lesson here about the irresponsible use of powers..

Learn to pay attention to your ‘daemon’: the inner voice, somewhere in the bowels, that whispers, ‘Take care.’” --- Socrates

"One technique I just came up with yesterday...was in response to a "curt" text. Instead of just formulating a reactive reply to quickly negate that feeling within myself...I instead chose to really sit in, accept, and feel that feeling it had "generated" in me...before replying. IOW, really FEEL THE BURN... Because otherwise, I would be missing this spontaneous micro-opportunity to feel my sh*t and release a little more of my own baggage in the real-time, organic moment!"---- Admirable!
