Hi aapclark9, I can figure what you meant by "emotional blockages". I had similar moments at the nascent stages and I was reduced to tears. Believe their clearances are positive. Move on humbly ... I have bought a copy of the "Golden Flower" and I have not made any progress with it. However I have scanned its rich resources at TDB. Will do justice to these resources soon. So am I ... learning with humility and an open mind. A good weekend. - LimA

Dada-da - swim back! A great weekend. - LimA

The parts where I feel physical pain. Not that other part. I'm too old for that Good morning Dada-da, I got it. Life is a trip on the river of no return ... Take very good care of yourself. - LimA

Hi WayofChi, Books are good, practices great. Experiential learining and knowledge sharing are tops? Dada-da - look forward to that. So please start talking philosophically Lousy Lao Tzu. - LimA

Hi Dada-da, But of course. But which part(s) in particular; be explicit with details. - LimA

Hi Dada-da, Not older but more "old" like good wine. Enjoy your vintage. - LimA

Good morning Dada-da, "Old age" not old age. Why? "Old age" = experiential knowledge on different "people, places and things"; everyone very different. "Old" people not old people. Why? "Old" people give back to life fully. - LimA

Hi Dada-da, 'Old age' seems to be more 'real' when an individual reaches a certain age. It may vary from individual to individual. Some realisation/respect for 'old age' may be associated with delicate and penetrating stories. This is one such story - a songwriter's (34 years old) realisation that his mother (70+) is getting old and he wrote this song for a songwriting competition: 当你老了 (When you are old) It is translated thus - When you are old When you are old and gray hair. And full of sleep. When you are old and unable to walk . And nodding by the fire,recall your youth. How many loved your moments of glad grace. And loved your beauty with love false or true. But one man loved your pilgrim soul in you. And loved the sorrows of your changing face. When I'm old and eyebrows lowered. When I'm old and eyebrows lowered. The hazy light shining fast. The Winds blow across,Send your message. This is a song in my heart. When I am old,I really hope. Here is a song, sing for you. The song was delivered during a competition thus - At that point in time, his mother had not yet hear the song. It has since been recorded by many artistes e.g.: To me 'old age' is special from a very young age - thus this post. - LimA

Hi Dada-da, I also do BS a lot. Like you - good naturedly to the best of my 'good' nature. This is noted at 'Welcome'. The Red Guards did not kill Taoism during the Cultural Revolution in China? Is Taoism passed down from the 'old' to the 'young' over generations? The same mode of transfer both in the East and West? Same respect for 'old age' both in the East and West? In the Internet age is the East merging into the West, and vice versa? - LimA

Hi Dada-da, I do not know your ethnicity. But I am a third generation overseas Chinese and I was/am brought up to respect my elders. Wisdom comes age and you have ... thus my respect from Dada to Dada-da. - LimA

Hi Rickie, Out of respect I addressed Marblehead - Dada (as in Daddy-boy). Now it is - Dada-da. Good day. Have to run off now. It is 8:30 am in Singapore. - LimA

Hi Dada-da, Please be transparent, responsible and accountable. - LimA

Those boys need some serious professional help Hi Dada-da, Their video has 1,932,160 views. It will go on/with you. - LimA

Good Morning Dada, Recondition yourself with this - your personal signature tune for you to re-tune yourself. Henceforth I will address you Dada-da. - LimA

YES! Hi Lost in Translation, Perhaps you may like the following ... I am seeing yellow now. So time to stop. - LimA

YES! Hi Lost in Translation, The following pertains to some Taoist symbolism on colours (www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~rfrey/PDF/116/116TaoColor.pdf) COLOR: NATURE / ELEMENT / CONSIDERATIONS: RED: Yang / Fire / Auspicious symbol, associated with passion, warmth, life, good fortune, wards off evil, worn by brides. YELLOW: Yang / Earth / Symbol for royalty, authority. GREEN/BLUE: Yin / Wood / Symbol of love, youth, growth, longevity, harmony; "blue" = sky, same word denotes heavenly blessings. WHITE: Yang / Metal / Represents death, mourning, sorrow, grief. BLACK: Yin / Water / Symbolizes darkness; remarkably unpopular. - LimA

Bingo! I have guessed it correctly. Kar3n - thus far I have met quite a number of nice people at TDB. You are one of them. Keep on being so. - LimA

Thank you Kar3n my sweet lady for your help re Rickie. Rickie said thanks too and he asked me buy these roses for you - Yellow your favourite colour? - LimA

Hi Rickie, I was teasing you in anticipation. No more. Great that you returned to complete the circle ... By and large, life is a circle game ... Who is not distracted at one time or another? If 'my way' can be aligned with The Way, it will be good. You think so? And how your mind works also? Dada? Me too. Every once in a while, a new technology, an old problem, and a big idea turn into an innovation - Dean Kamen So nothing is that new. You are as big as you think. Take your time to find ... - LimA

Good morning Dada, Tsai Chin is back. She went to take curtain calls. Where is Rickie? - LimA

Hi Dada, Which one? Both OK at my end. Sleeping in a jiffy. Good night. - LimA

Hi Rickie, Something was not in order and I have to separate the two oriental "Buttons & Bows' videos ... - LimA

Something isn't right. I have to delete this post. Apology. - LimA

Hi Rickie, We heard through the grapevine that you are of some oriental lineage. One of TDB's hallmarks is customisation. So ... Good night. - LimA

Hi Rickie, ENCORE! - LimA
