Welcomer

Let's see.. interesting things lately.. I can make apple juice into wine, I can turn apfelwein into Apple Jack w/ cold distilling in the winter. & Apple Jack into a party. I can turn brown rice into a psychedelic drug and the drug into a strong helpful medicine. I can take cold showers I can hold my breath after exhaling over 2 minutes I can make a damn good pot of Southwest Chili I can whip up a warming soul food cassoulet I can do long breath rhythms 25in- 25out 10in-40hols-10our 10in-10hold-10out-10hold this youtube channel is filled with various 30 minute breath cycles. Start short and its amazing how by the end of the month you've doubled and tripled your length- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnGh6CcWVAv2GpiiOj3nGYQ I can write tight short stories in 15 minutes How bout you? What interesting things can you do?

I apologize if I came on too strong and I know you don't do it maliciously but on the Burning Man thread you made 8 picture posts in a row, each more and more irrelevant. Another person posted, then you made 2 more: A few aren't bad, but when you do it multiple times, in a row, it feels like spam to those who created the thread. It'd be different if it was an art thread or about photo's or if you shrunk the size of your pictures. In truth you haven't been doing it as much these days. I didn't want to see 7 or 8 large photos in a row on this thread so I PM'd you. -Michael P.S I think I'll retire Welcomer and keep to thelerner from now on. Having to switch accounts is a pain and could be construed as misleading.

Welcome, small universe we recently had 2 other members who expressed knowledge of the Jedi order, @TheGrayKnight and @Fylgija. The world does not condition us towards deep thought and tranquility. Meditation is seen as something other and special. Its too bad. We have to find it and develop it ourselves.

I like everything you said except for the 'where necessary, armed for self-defense. I'd rather they call the police or journalists and have cameras out to record infractions. The Right wing militias do look stupid and when they use force it usually backfires. Plus you can't control the extremes in your own movement, the violent ones give the other side ammo to dismiss and tar the entire movement..
