have to agree. They simply sent an EEG pattern to a person's brain via electronics (the "4,000 miles" is immaterial). That's a far, far cry from telepathy, and not even related as far as I can tell. Still an interesting experiment :-)

pipe-leak down under Bladder weak? Well, no wonder. Pinch it off, Dundee.

Totalitarianism wears many faces, or hats, or whatever. This thing is the end of demo-cracy as we know it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_Trade_and_Investment_Partnership There are clauses in there allowing corporations to sue governments for damages and loss of profit if a nation's laws prevent them from doing anything they want. US pharma concerns can sue (and win against) the German government for the right to advertise prescription drugs in the public media (not permitted here), for example. Fracking, gmo (including Bayer), etc., all of them will have the power to move in and set up operations as they see fit. The people and their representatives will have no say in it. Anyway, glad the process is over in the UK for now If it had gone through, it could have inspired the more nationalistic Bavarians to try the same thing here!

Mechanical manipulation of the fascia e. g. foam roller and other massage equipment, any experience? Thoughts? Tips?

My prediction: 59% for the NO campaign, and I think it's the better scenario.

I'm pretty sure that's what inspired my first post in this thread :-)

here's what I see:

hmmm... your picture is broken again. Can you upload whatever image it is you're trying to use here in this thread? Perhaps post a query in this thread: http://thetaobums.com/topic/32444-tech-requests-go-here/

Nice :-) I think when taking non-judgement to the ultimate, the child-nature returns ala Daodejing 28. And then there's no turning back, no distinctions made, every breath as amazing as the first. Not 'considered' or 'viewed' as amazing, but truly amazing.

I'd say unaware is the higher state. Childlike etc

I think one of the prerequisites is that s/he be quite unaware of all the hubbub

no, not at all, forgive me. It was the language around the message I was referring to. And it's just my perception, which can always be way off the mark.

If I AM, is HE IS?

Fair enough. But that wasn't really clear (to me) until the simple statement in post #67. And by the time that one rolled around, there'd been a bit of what I perceived to be unnecessary cynicism.

If the Dao can not be spoken, then, ipso facto, that which can not be spoken must be Dao. When I gaze at a tree surrounded by sky atop a mountain resting on Earth absorbing and reflecting light traveling from the sun changing its position in the sky minute by minute creating with every movement a new tree, a new mountain, a new earth, a new sky, and all of it at the same moment is tree, all of it is sky, all of it is mountain, all of it is earth, all of it is sun ... and all of it is me, all one; I can't grasp and express the wholeness that I see before me or the connections I feel inside me. See? And because I can't grasp and can't express: Dao.

life is temporary; the old makes way for the new.

do, be, do be do. inhale exhale inhale ex hale inhale exhale

I don't think my suggestion discounted the possibility of one dissing oneself :-) But now that you bring it up, I guess it does seem the more likely scenario.

woot! I remember that story, and thank you for linking to the post And I know one.

honestly, I agree with plenty of your reasoning (everything ahead of the colon in this case). But then you add these strange little nuggets of pessimistic indictment which I feel tarnish the simple truth in the rest of your message.

I generally don't enjoy it when people do this, but sometimes it's the most poignant response. There, fixed it for you.

Northern Exposure was a highlight too

1989-90, you do the math spot-on observation re the OP. If it were almost anyone else, the responses would be more sewious, I'm sure.
