Ya Marblehead~ I'm not inventing anything, The classics provide a vocabulary from time immemorial and beyond over the duct of unspeakability. I only have fit the talisman of experience and vouch for its authenticity. It is so.❤ I did leave it in the taoist discussion where the "down-under Taoist" had posted his query about it~ but I never heard from him. After two days, I wrote this and posted it here and there.

Sit under a freeway overpass. Sit at the end of a pier. Sit in a café. Sit in your room. Sit by a dry creek. Sit on a rock. Don't hide behind your iPod. Listen to your mind. Let it go on, but watch it. Think about what doesn't think. Let it go on, but watch it. Forget the scattered mind; watch for the shining mind. Watch for the shining mind without thinking thoughts. When you notice a thought, don't follow it. Open and sincere, calm and unperturbable… let it go on. (ed note: crossed a "t" in the penultimate line)

The knowledge passed on by Chia that I have studied and practiced was sincerely, thoroughly and cautiously presented and the results were powerful and effective. Effective practice is not a matter of belief, nor does it rely on the intent of another. Who here has written one book on a single subject, had it published, distributed and sold? He had a day-job as he was developing his catalog. How hard is it to fool yourselves? Everyone is ordinary in this respect. Even so, it's not for everyone. I haven't practiced those exercises in twenty years. It is very important to open up the microcosmic orbit and I recommend his writings on that account. If the other radically intense practices are not for you, and you do them anyway or you do them incorrectly, that is your own malpractice. This is serious technology, folks. You all are personally responsible for your own actions. Aren't you?

ahhahahhahahhahhaaa!!❤❤❤ all so funny you guys!

I would not call this living. Only this is not a complete diet. For years I lived on anasazi beans and blue corn, cuz I'd get each in 100lb sacks from the farm. I also grew four plants for a tea that didn't need anything else to enjoy. Amaranth, jamaica (hibiscus), chamomile and lemon grass. In addition, I'd often create a rue and add a few vegetables, seeds and cabbage. What a wonderful period in my life that was…amazing really. With rice, you ought to consider a legume. Combined, they constitute a complete protein. Then you can you be a good lover, mon ami!! But no café au lait? No 90% chocolate? What about cookies and ice cream— and whiskey? You know, the main food groups!! All things in moderation… and I hope you accomplish whatever it is you want to with the diet you are planning to keep.❤ -k- said:

This is what happens to our natural wholeness when we listen to and act on our inner "do-gooder". How much worse are the ideas of our inner "evil twin"? Not letting external manifestations in and entertaining inner states so they can act out preserves one's innate wholeness to the benefit of one's potential and manifest evolution.

Random manifesting Is itself absolute reality What lies at one's feet Is this complete reality in one foot. One's whole mind and body of creation Having never once suffered existence: Is following the heart's desire Without ever once counting The singular rhythm. Weeds growing; a flower's fall Amidst our delusion; there is no other A shining vacancy Through and through. ed note: (remove line 7; "Shining all along", add "is" in line 7; replace "Its" with "The" in line 9)

Motion picture production itself is often an incredibly cruel and unusual affair for everyone involved. It is a heartening experience to know when an end result is actually ever worth the means employed to produce it. The ratio of truly successful films is horrendous considering how many have been shot in just my lifetime.

This is the value of opera!!❤ haha!!

❤!!

There is a very good book first published in 1982 called "The Taoist Body" by Kristofer Schipper. Translated from the original French in 1993, it gives concise insights into current and historical aspects of "church" Taoism (Schipper is an ordained Taoist priest). But that is a small part of its coverage. There are some brilliant insights, and is much more than a scholastic overview by an "insider", so don't think this is just a book about a religion— this the shit! I'm not interested in church taoism in the least, and had no trouble ripping out and tossing the first six chapters of the book (paperback~ heehee). Chapters seven through ten are fantastic. There are over fifty pages of notes and index, too! I recommend it highly. ISBN 0-520-08224-9 I'll make one more book recommendation~ another French work titled "Seduction" by Jean Baudrillard, 1979. English edition 1990. It does get philosophical, in that French way, but there are some real nuggets, like: I don't know… but if you are a woman, or especially if you love one~ (and have the balls to tell Sartre to go to his special place!! haha!! You might enjoy it as I do.❤ ed note: faux pas~ didn't change anything!
