  7. forget all the orbits etc sit and watch your thoughts as if they were clouds. just watch don't add to them - let them come and go - most importantly let them go keep some intention - focus on your tan tien and see what happens
  8. Changing equals Unreal

    Things that change rapidly SEEM less real. Dreams - am I Chang Tzu dreaming I'm a butterfly or am i a butterfly dreaming i am Chang Tzu? An ice cube melts it is still water. The inner cube essence is water.The inner essence of steam is water. The inner essence of water is that which doesn't change even though it appears to change. It is the same essence of everything that exists.
  9. Changing equals Unreal

    The one constant in our known universe is change. That which doesn't change creates the change. There is nothing that is not made of this stuff - energy - consciousness in the universe. Kashmir Shaivism says that everything is god/consciousness. This consciousness is what is unchanging and can only be experienced through stopping the mind.
  10. Zen And Masturbation...The Struggle!

    Limited communications: Helen of (cosmopolitan) Troy launches one thousand ships. Progress: Mass media masturbator of men's minds motivates one million men to manipulate their penises upon a monthly maidens centerfold harnessing enough energy, enough energy, enough energy, to send a man to the moon.
  11. Sorry but i see this as rationalization, to alleviate guilt. If you want to eat meat accept it and enjoy it. Time to once again post my poem Poets are often eaten alive; their flesh can be quite tender. At one time I ate dead bodies with the best of them, never fully understanding the implications and the pain of how they arrived at my table. Then one day the desire, to eat empty houses of souls who have left or been forced to evacuate, was gone. What to do? With no effort, not knowing how or why; just as some people no longer wish to work, brush their teeth, exercise, or swim in the sea in dead of winter, my desire left me. What to do? I imagine human beings as quite tasty and would just as soon eat a cow, a cat, a dog, a pig, as a poet. So why the fuss. Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat to the sounds of vegetables screaming! What to do?
  12. Zen And Masturbation...The Struggle!

    One more joke and I'll get serious What is masturbation? The blind leading the blind. Now seriously A few ideas. 1.Try not to say or think i won't masturbate. For example when one thinks or says I won't have any ice cream the mind fixates on ice cream and pretty soon you are eating ice cream. 2. Don't over eat - this can stimulate sexual desire 3. There are foods and spices that can increase or lower sex drive - time to google 4. There is a modern Dear Abbey- Ann Landers sex columnist by the name of Dan Savage. He writes a syndicated column in newspapers around the US. He is usually right on with his advice and refers questions to experts for added input. He most likely can be found online. 5. Do you go to - have contact with a Zen Center. If so ask the monks or whoever doesn't appear to be over doing their masturbation what you can do. 6. Stop watching porn 7. There was a high being in the yogic tradition who used to see his sister naked - don't remember the situation - but sort of remember what he did. He saw his sister as simply as one would look at a cow and his desire dissipated.

  15. A perfect wuwei act

    Agree
  16. A perfect wuwei act

    What would you consider an act where one person rescues another person. Do we know if the person rescued will run someone over with their car in the future. Should we help others or just let them be. My definition would be acting appropriately in any given situation. Separation of man and nature is in the mind of man.
