  4. What is in our power to do?

    Hi Steve, Good that you are reading Yinja thus. I can feel the compassion in your preceding post. Your kind words will keep him in good stead. Hope Yinja will opt for wu wei as yin and yang dance in a dynamic balance thus - Nothing in Nature stands still? Everything is energy - including decision? - Anand

  6. What is in our power to do?

    Hi Yinja, You do not appear as negative to me but just someone trying to get out of a grave buried with words. Your quote - If you can make a decision well than there must be a point when you decide to decide... and decide to decide to decide and so on in an endless regression. so you see if you were free to decide you couldn't and if you are not free to decide you can decide - has ONE decision linked to EIGHT decide's. Perhaps you can say this to decision so that you do not have to decide - Then take a walk in the sun with the rain - - LimA
  7. Hello Forum

    Hi tedd_a, How about dragon boat races and rice dumplings? Today (5th day of the 5th lunar month) - we celebrate/enjoy both. 端午节快乐!Happy Dumpling Festival! ! The date of 端午节 / Dragon Boat Festival is determined based on lunar calendar, and falls on 5th day of the 5th month in the Chinese lunar calendar. Thus in Gregorian (Western) calendar the date will change from year to year. Dragon Boat Festival is said to commemorate the sacrifice of Qu Yuan, a legendary Chinese poet. In Mi Lo River around 2000 years ago, he drowned himself to protest against the rulers and to stop corruption. As respect to the poet, people throw dumplings into the river to stop fish from feeding on the poet’s body as well as make noise to scare the fish away. To celebrate the festival, dragon boat races are organised - symbolizing searching for Qu Yuan’s body on the river. In the past, dumplings are said to be thrown on the river to drive away the fishes from the legendary poet’s body. Nowadays, the rice dumplings are eaten as a delicacy, which made this festival is also known as the Chinese Dumpling Festival. - -Adapted from Gintai's blog. One of the festival's signature songs: Same song - sang on a street stage during a temple's celebration in Singapore: - LimA

  10. What is in our power to do?

  16. What is in our power to do?

    Hi Yinja, Thoughts, emotions, will, decisions, actions... - are energy-based, Is it possible that hiccups may arise if there are mismatches in frequencies? - LimA

    Hi Steve, My Teacher does not speak much - almost to being silent. Yet I have to listen. - Anand
  18. Hi Fa Xin, I had experienced the contrary - and I recalled this: Just for sharing. - LimA
  19. Hi All, "When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years" - Mark Twain Guess that is/was DAD to more than a few. Today (17 June 2018) is his day: - LimA
  20. A Pure Tao

    Hi Wu Ming Jen, What transpired on 12 June 2018 happened in my backyard. Days (before and after) that date - I was/am bombarded on TV by power-plays which I find them hard to accept. So instead of studying "history and wars to identify the way things are" - I prefer to listen to these silently and repeatedly: There are thousands of different renditions of Arirang of which - this is one: - LimA
  21. A Pure Tao

    Hi Lost in Translation, I am repeating the worth - experiential learning gives me first-hand untainted knowledge. What "I knew all along" was/is there in Nature/Life - waiting for me to explore/tap through actions. But my actions remained inert/latent/dormant/... until I was physically/mentally crippled at one stage of my life. The experience as such a cripple was humbling. Any more gems worth repeating? I am listening - silently. - LimA
  22. Hello Forum

    Hi tedd_a, I bought a package of the candy during the Lunar New Year in February 2018. Had a craving for many years - but put it underwrap for many years until four months ago. It did not taste anything as remembered - so no more craving. By 'unloading' I mean 'deleting' from my mind. But not anymore... - LimA
  23. Hello Forum

    Hi tedd_a, "White Rabbit Creamy Candy is white, with a soft, chewy texture, and is formed into cylinders approximately 3 cm long and 1 cm in diameter, similar to contemporary western nougat or taffy" - Wikipedia For a while, the candy was banned for export thus: "Shanghai has ordered the maker of the famed White Rabbit candy... to stop exports after four countries and regions... found the sweet contained the industrial chemical melamine... On Sunday, Singapore was the first to announce that its testing showed the candy to be tainted. Hong Kong did so on Tuesday. Australia and New Zealand urged shops to withdraw White Rabbit on Wednesday..." - South China Morning Post - 26 September 2008 I had out-grown the candy - a kind of freedom through unloading? - LimA

    Hi Wu Ming Jen, Are North Korea and South Korea - the barbed outcomes of dualistic mental disorders? Good night. - LimA
  25. A Pure Tao

    Hi Dada-da, Were/are the Koreans not already unified by "Arirang" as a One Korea? Who/what separated them? Why 12 June 2018 - after close to 70 years of separation? Possible? Again - possible? Please say - YES! - LimA
