Kunlun makes stuff come to the surface.

...ok? To clarify: I don't have a problem with people eating a little lion. Is that any worse than people eating beef/chicken/fish/deer/etc? It's such a common thing, and I do eat those. It's good for us. Animals eat us, we eat them...hopefully we're being sensible about it and not killing them all off. The quote from Gospel of Thomas popped into my head when I saw "lion burger". It is an interesting thing to consider, that what you eat becomes part of you...especially if you can feel it is so, as the original poster did. Some spiritual traditions believe that the human is the highest form of life because of its potential for awakening. Just something to consider. Being the fool that I am, I don't really believe either/or.

Beautiful thought. I wish you the best.

Thanks to Shen Go for that teaching!

Update: I'm not a fan of Shuichuan, but to each their own.

Agree. But then what are you focusing on and doing with your situation? It's best to be proactive with it, and move on. Better than living in constant bitterness.

I think it's just to help you internally, to be free from the past. It's not to say, "What you did to me is okay."

I'm looking forward to more cartoons!

Vedic meditation? Isn't that an insult to the actual Vedic traditions?

I'm the only person that I know of who didn't enjoy Inception.

Lino, what you are saying is feeling right to me.

We truly are tao bums.

Thanks for the explanation...it will be helpful for me. Peace to you, too.

I've read that if your organs contain too much of a charge they degenerate quickly. This could be a reason for many masters dying so young.

I'm not confident enough to answer, Kate.

A thought... Maybe how you circulate the orbit is more important than opening it up. When the back and front unite as one flow, then spiritual stuff happens...and as a result of that (embryonic state) the body heals and opens up.

Nah, letting it go!

Adept, I have enjoyed your contributions, and wish for you to stay.

Have a good evening, Steve.

Ah I see, your blue jeans and t-shirt make you seem more authentic, then.

Interesting.
