Bhagavad Gita, Ch. 13, Verse 29 "He sees, who sees that all actions are performed by nature alone, and that the Self is action less." (The Self is the silent witness.) ... like 'The sage does nothing, yet nothing is left undone.' (Lao Tzu) Thank you.

Dear fellow Dao Bum, Somehow I inserted a displayed picture in a post successfully "by accident" because I can't remember how I did it. I have searched for advice in posts but perhaps I'm too dense to absorb the helpful information there. It seems that I need (and please pardon me because this might be a tall order for a nongenius like me to request): a numbered list of steps telling me the exact procedure from source (me with URL or jpg/etc file) to inserting them into post so they actually display, which would be like a miracle from God for me at this point. Thank you so much in advance, dear angel to whom it may concern! And have a great day! Yours, Luxin

Hi silent thunder, Sketch and Nungali ... thank you all for responding! Good on ya, mates! When wizards are needed, there they appear to save wayfarers from dragons!

Hello helpfuldemon, If you're still using medication, you might stop in order to confirm whether they are causal or not. Hallucinations are typical of the influence of any kind of drug -- recreational or prescription. If yes, stopping will no doubt be a challenge you may not be able to rise to any time soon. In general agreement with Paradoxal, my view is that your focus needs to be on being kind to yourself and letting everyone else be for the present. I understand that your hallucinations have now stopped, but if a drug is involved they may return.

I feel everything that everyone feels; there is an indescribable amount of hurt, but dwelling on it all cannot help. We are meant to fully live in the now, and to live courageously in the moment despite the fact, and because of the fact that the gift of mortal life God/Nature gives us is only temporary. What may encourage some, and allegedly encouraged people like the Druids, is that we have souls that may, at some point, attain to eternal life.

I agree and well expressed, 子泰 . My concept is that one's only real protection from anger begins -- after seeing the harm in its expression -- with making a commitment to peacefulness. That tranquility has its source in the higher nature which has no anger or any other intense emotional passion. The only way to deal with negative emotions is to preclude their ever beginning; once they start expressing at all one has failed, and only a commitment to a spiritual path offers this preclusion of chaos. The following is a post summary of a poem I wrote a la Lao Tzu called "Slaying Dragons": "In summary, successful 'dragon slaying' is a matter of 'precluding dragons' or preventing them from disturbing one's peace at all. In essence, a 'conquered dragon' is actually a 'dragon of self' that never disturbs one's tranquility, or 'never appears before you', because once the man of Tao perceives a 'deadly dragon' in front of him, he is already finished. The man of Tao can only strive to stay in the protection of the positive Tao as long as possible; if he can do this, he is happy and peaceful, and he never actually 'slays a dragon' because they don't appear before him. The term 'dragon slaying' should technically be 'dragon preclusion', but that reality wouldn't go over in stories or movies about noble wizards, would it?"

November 8, 2018 It's very sad to witness the death of Love, O dearest of beings, The tragic death of Love. Why do I return to tell thee this? Because I love, And forgive you, For you know not what you do. ---------------------------------- 'If God lived on earth, they would break his windows'. (Yenta, Fiddler on The Roof) ---------------------------------- Without Love, all is lost. ---------------------------------- FX, thank you, I did enjoy my time here. It just wasn't meant to be. All the best to you.

November 8, 2018 TOP FAREWELL NOTE.... Dear DBs, After careful reflection I have decided to bow out of this forum. I now realize I shouldn't be here because ... and I don't ... here. To be honest, I haven't .... The only people here I will have nice memories of are Marblehead, who surprised me by saying this is a forum where humor is allowed -- but I never really saw it. It was a nice fantasy that it could be possible for a while anyway. Another obviously fine person is Zen Pig -- take care, pawdner. This is m' last rodayoh here ah reckon. Thank you for giving my stuff a chance anyway. Lovin' you all deep down and movin' on....Wherever I go there is more to learn, and 'It's all good' as the ancient rabbis said. Luxin the head wrangler. My sharer Mr. Lao wrote: Those that know me are few; Those that abuse me are honored. Therefore the sage wears rough clothing and holds the jewel in his heart. (TTC 70) Other men are sharp and clever, But I alone am dull and stupid. (Ch. 20) When wisdom and intelligence are born, The great pretense begins. (Ch. 18) Accept disgrace willingly. Accept misfortune as the human condition. What do you mean by 'accept disgrace willingly?' Accept being unimportant. Do not be concerned with loss or gain. This is called 'accepting disgrace willingly'. Surrender yourself humbly; Then you can be trusted to care for all things. Love the world as your own self; Then you can truly care for all things. (Ch. 13) ============================================== November 8, 2018 Re: New and second intro for Luxin which supersedes my original intro dated October 24, 2018. Hello fellow DBs, My intro below talks of myself in the third person ... it's long as usual by I'm a person who needs to understand and provide as much clarity as possible in order to: 1) discover whether or not I should continue to be here at DB; 2) let people know more or less EXACTLY what I'm about so they have some concept of me (if they care), true or false. 3) help others to understand me, because I am a sharer, not a student, though I still learn things from anyone and everyone so I can grow to become a better sharer. My writing includes original metaphysics and is based on the esoteric and occult. Some of the occult I have actually discovered myself through my own experiences. I also write on ethics, for which there is no forum here. THE WRITER: ~ is not a student of any teacher or group, and is not someone who needs or is looking for any particular teacher. I am a teacher ... However, to be precise, I am NOT a 'teacher' but a sharer. For those who can understand it, I wish to clarify this: I reject the notion of a 'teacher', as no one can actually 'teach' another person in the sense of 'uplifting them with knowledge directly'. What people learn is what they teach themselves through understanding the subject. The correct substitutive term for 'teacher' is sharer, as all a nominal 'teacher' can do is share knowledge with others. The actual learning or not learning is the business of the student. No 'teacher' or sharer can make anyone learn any subject if they don't have the capacity to learn that subject. In addition, I do have many 'teachers', but not the living kind that a number of DB seem to be open to. My best 'teacher' was my second wife, who never 'taught' me anything 'directly', but was my 'teacher' nevertheless, because I learned more from her than anyone else in my life, though she was not philosophical or intellectual at all. My other 'teachers' are all deceased: Christ, Lao Tzu, etc. Through their Logia I have learned an enormous amount. Furthermore, though I am a sharer through the written word, I cannot have any 'live' students as I cannot do that being a recluse and very careful about my environment. Also, I'm not a false prophet that is invariably compelled -- along with the truth that they do teach -- to use their position of respect and 'authority' as a cover for their abuses of their students. I have witnessed -- from a distance -- the abuses of false 'teachers', both financial and sexual, and that were beyond belief. I don't speak of their names or what they did because the memory of the spiritually dead should be 'buried and forgotten' -- though all one can really do is not speak of them, as their depraved deeds cannot be forgotten. ~ is a secular adherent of the Wisdom of Christ, Lao Tzu, Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Spinoza, The Dhammapada, and the Chandogya Upanishad, and an inclusive eclectic pantheistic metempsychosic lapsarian Number philosopher ('Philo Sophia') that chooses mental freedom as distinct from the mental slavery of the professed philosophers. ~ mourns the death of the philosophy that thrived 2500 years ago and which included gnosis, metempsychosic revelation, physiognomy and qualitative number. ~ does not read others' writing in depth ... writes original metaphysics based on esoterica and the occult. ~ obtained Qualitative Number from false prophets at 19; a scandal emerged 40 years later evincing the bad karma of false prophecy from their incomplete teaching; as I was always more an observer than a member, the ruinous bad karma didn't affect me so much. ~ after realizing a dangerous knowledge years ago, (which along with Number forms true prophecy), noticed it 'hidden in plain sight' in the teachings of Hinduism (and other religions, but most apparent in Hinduism), and enjoys the challenge of sharing whatever Truth I deem to be discreetly shareable online, and concealing the rest. ~ was compelled by experiences with the dead to become an authority on evil and the spiritually dead, who are blameless victims of bad karma compelled to do evil. ~ since his teens has been guided by a soul that knew he had to be prevented from a fate worse than death; writes solely out of Love and Compassion, avoiding the sin of mercenariness. ~ has had 3 wives; did office work for 30 years; was a white hat hacker; was a blues guitarist-singer-bandleader; now sings operatic arias; vegetarian; no substances ever; former porn fan for 50 years (saw a black abyss waiting); exercise and breathing nut; frequently uses himself to illustrate a point, aware that the false prophets reveal little of themselves for fear of losing business. Confucius said, 'The proud man is not dignified, and the dignified man is not proud'. ~ is a comedian. Out of compassion for the humorless who need to be left in peace, I try not to use humor. I promise to do my best here, anyway. The humorous and the dead serious are a disaster together, but I have learned from the example of Pythagoras - who was definitely a comedian -- to seriously limit humor 'in the classroom' (which is anytime I'm here at DB) because of its disruptive effect upon solemn reflection upon the deadly serious topics of Life and philosophy, which are basically one subject. ~ has a concept of Truth and Love which equates with the Taiji, Truth representing Yang or the masculine 1 quality's inspiring vibrational power, and Love being feminine Yin's 2 quality, a unifying, restful but lifting force that with the Truth creates Life or beings symbolized by: the 3 quality, the third realm, or the Taiji in this concept; the child; or Wisdom (3 or Spiritual Life as a merging of 1 = positive Spirit and 2 = negative mind). MY FOOTER: This is my 'thought song'. I'm singing it out of Self-Love for my self and my Self, not for your self and Self; however, if you like it, then it is for your two selves. When you're done listening, then it may be time for your 'thought song'. Let's hear your song. Nobody should judge a song; a song is for listening to and reflecting upon. A song is for the singer unless we like it, then 'it's ours' too. Self-Love is not selfish -- it's the love of God in one's Self.
