Maybe, maybe not. Can you prove it? Or does it always require an amount of faith?

I take it you concede my point then. Gute nacht ... zzzzzzzzzz ....

they wanted to try the beer, I hear.

or, alternatively: 3) Did watch most of the silly video, realised pretty quickly that it's nothing but a sensational TV program with cheesy low-budget re-enactments of an event that happened almost 25 years ago, noticed lack of original archival video footage from the event (very damaging, considering how many people were supposedly witnessing it at the time), thought about media courses taken in college in the early 90s, rememebered how easy it is to manipulate non-critical minds, looked for critical voices on the internet, found a few and considered them more convincing than Eliot Ness. Trolling? You'll have to do better than that. edit: forgot about the second video. "The Americans deny ... " is not proof of anything.

Can anyone help with this possible predicament?
soaring crane replied to FacelessDeer's topic in General Discussion
I think, a little bit, yes. But your pain and trauma are real and I agree with the others who suggest dealing with this through very earth-bound methods while getting away from all the energy/spiritual work for a good while. You've got a lot of things all mixed up and I sense that you're in the state of mind where all of these practices very likely will open you up for more damage. Keep things as simple as possible. ~~~~~~~~~~ One concrete suggestion: There's a therapy that I would recommend in a heartbeat if you were here in Germany. I think you're in the US, is that right? It's not completely unknown there, and it's called Family Constellation in English: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Constellations http://www.hellingerpa.com/constellation.shtml It's absolutely astounding work for precisely the situation you're describing. If you can find a really well-qualified and experienced therapist, it could be worth looking into. Or if you can find your way to Germany, I could arrange a session for you :-) -
Absolutely. Lot's of life in the universe, no doubt on my side whatsoever. But life that can travel to us from other galaxies in blinking shoeboxes ... not so much.

When my mother was here a few weeks ago, she made a side comment about me to my wife, along the lines of, 'He never seems to do anything, but he somehow or other gets everything done. He's always been like that. Used to drive us nuts when he was in school' See my sigline :-)

ok, I admit the CAPS LOCK almost had me convinced, but then I spent two minutes googling: http://www.skepticreport.com/sr/?p=162 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_UFO_wave http://www.ibtimes.com/controversial-belgian-ufo-image-confirmed-hoax-after-two-decades-818981 http://www.ghosttheory.com/2011/07/27/belgian-ufo-photo-a-hoax

Hello, my name is Philip Fry. I've been pulled towards Taoism by something other than my consciousness.

true, because it'll be covered by a rich layer of snow that the sage of laziness refuses to clear. What's the use in having a garage if you can't get to it?
-
Inexhaustible ... But I had a German word in mind: unerschöpflich.
-
o man, shoulda seed that one comin! by the by, I don't think it's literally 'uselessness' in the usual pejorative sense that is supposed to be cultivated. It's more development of bottomless stores of usefulness that will never run dry. It's not-being-used-up that identifies the sage. There's a word for it, on the tip of my tongue ...
-
When your husband says he'll do something, he'll do it. There's no reason to remind him about it every six months. But... Bushes out of control and blocking the garage isn't a very sagely condition, I think.

As many as 70 million Chinese folks live in caves
soaring crane replied to BaguaKicksAss's topic in General Discussion
yesss that was in the documentary, too. Officially out of safety concerns for the people. But not really. -
As many as 70 million Chinese folks live in caves
soaring crane replied to BaguaKicksAss's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, awesome :-) There was a long detailed documentary about them on TV here not too long ago. Of course the Chinese government isn't happy about the situation, but as I recall, they're not taking any action against the people. They're looking into ways to turn them into a tourist attraction or something. -
Google forum search embedded in the search feature
soaring crane replied to idiot_stimpy's topic in Forum and Tech Support
Here, I entered: the tao bums idiot_stimpy precisely as written, into the normal google search page: toward the one: practice log no, no access to protected areas, which is good. And a good example of why we don't want the google search embedded (assuming it could then search protected areas, and a whole lot more stuff that google (and the NSA?) would love to get their hands on). The standard google website search is perfectly fine for searching topics: Lower Dantian wuwei google search rainy days Edit: when I click the links embedded in my post, they don't direct to the searches I pasted into the links. I had a feeling that would happen. But if you search those terms, you'll get the results. Be creative, have fun searching TTB for obscure subjects! :-) -

soaring crane replied to idiot_stimpy's topic in Forum and Tech Support
Seems to me you don't even have to write "site" anymore. The Tao Bums idiot_stimpy entered into the search field at Google should give the same results as a Google search bar embedded in the site would. I'd personally prefer not to have the Google kraken permanently attached to our website. -
