Hi Eggsistentialialist, We (fellow Bums) have the luck that you do not just lurk at TDB. From your posts thus far ~ I am impressed with your experiential transparency. Your writing style and words are refreshing ~ firsthand sharing as an unpretentious practitioner. You are an eggemplary Bum in the making. Please lay more eggs... - Anand

The above words can help join the dots...

Count your blessings.

Hi CT... Hi Jesse... Hi Creighton... Hi Ming Jen... Hi sagebrush... GOOD RESONANCE BAD RESONANCE - Anand

Hi Eggsistentialist, Thank you for a very good eggxistential sharing. It is well grounded in existence/experience/... No apology needed... from those who can understand/follow/appreciate/... your sharing. No explanation needed... per where you are coming from. "I definitely can't just jump into someone's thoughts, so it seems like they have to be focused and intentional" ~ YES. Thanks again. - Anand

Hi rojodudu, There is nothing cool about malpractices. Be wary. Your body is yours alone that you must connect responsibly and accountably to your own mind. Take ownership of body and mind. This is key. Why do apple and orange trees gives only apples and oranges respectively? Are you ~ the only you? Your thread was initialized on 1 May 2014. Where/how are you now? - Anand

Pre ~ COVID -19

Hi Nun, Good morning ~ just woke up. COVID 19 ~ poor business. Few buy flowers. Where have all the florists gone? - Anand

Don't forget the body ~ jing <=> qi <=> shen. When Buddhism and Taoism are embraced as philosophies ~ there are a whole lot more... (a) each on its own. (b) both combined.

Hi Barbara, I want... I don't want... I want... I don't want... I want... I don't want... - Anand

Good morning Nun, For me ~ when it comes to happiness/awareness/... 'I want to' is better than 'I don't want to'. Better still ~ 'I need to'. - Anand
