"There are 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses." ------ The Blues Brothers

We are all guilty of feeding this thread. Many of us have more positive intentions but, our feeding of it, is keeping it viable.. As of lately, Walker and ilumairen have been good examples for TDB. An example that I hope newbies see for what it is-- TRUE SPIRITUAL CULTIVATION, that comes with a lot of patience and time. GSmaster has promised to leave, we will see if he keeps his word, that too, will say much. We need to get together on some system of ignore that lets newbies see some things more clearly. Without sean taking responsibilty for his inactions, I have no idea how this can be done. Without some type of BALANCED moderation, TDB will get a reputation beyond this site that will harm us for years to come..

Truly epic Mongolian music!

The laughing emoticon is the least of any problems on TDB.

Okay, Do you have any ideas?

The grand thing about the human mind is that it can turn its own tables and see meaninglessness as ultimate meaning. ----John Cage

Check out the different qigongs that have a good verifiable history. Find the one that balnces and energizes you best. But, movement should be balanced with stillness. You strike me as a dynamic person, so, I suggest that you search for a good teacher in Zhan Zhuang. Once you start to understand the simplicity/complexity of standing like a tree, you will be glad you do it with qigong.

Always a pleasure, thank you!

Me also!

Because only slow food can teach us the things that really matter - care, beauty, concentration, discernment, sensuality, all the best that humans are capable of, but only if we take the time to think about what we're eating. ------Alice Waters

This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive. ---Alice Waters Our Mission The Edible Schoolyard Project is dedicated to transforming the health of children by designing hands-on educational experiences in the garden, kitchen, and cafeteria that connect children to food, nature, and to each other. An Edible Education places the child at the center of their learning and uses food to engage all aspects of the child’s education. Through growing, processing, cooking, eating, studying, talking, and thinking about food, students develop skills, knowledge, and behaviors that enrich their academic and nonacademic lives, bolster their growth as individuals and in relationships, and cultivate meaningful engagement with their own health, the health of their communities, and the health of the planet. At the heart of an Edible Education is a just and joyful learning experience for every child.

Considering the overall context of the translation above. Maybe it is not code, maybe we need to ask," what kind of purple grass are we talking about?"

Or maybe you are a beginning later! What is your gorgeous baby's name? Ilumairen or taomeow is your best bet for women's help! If, you do not get a quick response, try the front porch thread and gently, bump ilumairen awake, she rests because she has lived! You may have much to share!

To be perfectly clear! I want the extreme right and the extreme left here! Because, our best chances of finding wisdom is in between those two points-- somewhere! Our very individual balance-- somewhere! But, there must be courtesy! There must be empathy! There must be a certain understood level of civility! When you are getting continuous complaints---- start your own thread, as long as it is not bigotry, hate or politics-- go for it! If people get in to your thread under those guidelines and then complain-- then, it is on them. But, try to be part of the community!

In all do respect, of course it is circular. I just reported Gendao to Sean, I am not a fan of banning, but some kind of strong moderation is needed in this case. We wait 24-48 hours and see what the next move is.

I will back you on this and report it too!

You are dealing with a lot of stress now. You are no doubt absorbing more than you fully realize for now. Filtering, is your only true option, I wish you the best. You know who your friends are. Check out the last page of the levitation and flying thread, it was a hoot and I think, a good sign of our communities true will.

I like it!

Started a new levitation class recently. I went straight to the top of the class.

Always like a good/bad pun!
