  1. US Memorial Day

    .
  2. I thought so, too. Thanks for your post.
  3. You missed my point. Carry on.
  4. Aetherous, please 'unthank' my post to Luke. .
  5. Vast majority? Wow. That is probably the ugliest thing I've ever heard you say, Luke. You're better than that.
  6. The real-self and suicide

    Yes, all of which real-self does on its own, naturally, as life comes.
  7. New Layout

    Mobile version can, lol. Do you like my new attire? Thought it might help with privacy.....but damn I keep sounding like myself. Oh well. (-:
  8. The real-self and suicide

    Agree, and well said. The 'apparent' contradiction you spoke of is not present in real-self - which needs neither building up nor tearing down, only permission to breathe and rise to the fore, which it will do, when gently left alone. Or so it seems to me. warm regards
  9. Mobile Version Questions

    And a good thing, that. Thanks, dawei! Most appreciated.
  10. Hello

    Leah, hello and welcome! It feels like the martial qigong you describe, and your practice, is motion of the subtle. Very nice to read your words. (-: warm greetings rene
  11. Mobile Version Questions

    Thanks for all the changes/fixes!! One last thing... since I cant see or access it, do I have a Signature? What does it say?
  12. The real-self and suicide

    Your post is a true gift, Orion; thank you. Thanks also for allowing me to put it in my ppf. (-: warm greetings
  13. Mobile Version Questions

    Formatting icons in little reply box dont work (I can html code so no biggie) No drop-down choices anywhere, for anything, that you guys are talking about in the other thread (other than the main menu thingy, which is great btw) No access to my own sig lines to change (had to switch to full version also previously), also like before cant see others sigs (pros&cons there lol) Something else but dont recall. Thanks for earlier offer of PC, most appreciated! I have one but cant go online with it up here: no internet service, just cell phone, & verizon $ucks as it is. It'd just be nice to explore/play in the full version... but no worries! This mobile version is much better than the last one, imo. Remembered other thing: mod action choices in PPF are pin, hide, delete. No 'unhide'
  14. A great warrior for peace might also know the folly of complete success, just as there can be no day without night, and fights on anyway.
  15. My enlightenment experience.

    welcome to "Both, same time". Nice to see you again (-:
  16. not sure yet

    The thingy right under the banner spreads off the screen to the right on my android phone, so does the notification popup window. Fyi. Otherwise, I like the new version (-: Except for one little thing, well, not so little to me. Not sure I like that everybody can see every little thing I do, type, like, follow, change, etc. I don't need to know that Brian is now following Ya Mu. And it's nobody's business which threads I'm following...and nobody needs to follow me around like a puppy. Maybe I'm too private a person for this; I left Facebook long ago, same reason. Perhaps best for me to just come in as guest & enjoy reading others' ideas. That I can do. (-:
  17. New Layout

    Fair enough. Thanks, Daeluin, Brian, & everybody else for your efforts & kind heart. Warm greetings. (-:
  18. New Layout

    Unable to locate the toggles in the mobile version; kindly advise? I have no PC. Thanks!
  19. not sure yet

    That would let me choose how blind I wish to be, rather than conceal my actions from others. Correct? Also, where in the mobile version can I find this? Thanks!
  20. New Layout

    Used to be only signed in members could see profiles. Now guests can too. You knew this, yes?
  21. not sure yet

    More that others can follow me, lol. This is kind of hard to explain. I've no problem, when clicking like/thanks on a post, for the poster and anyone who might come to the thread to read/interact see my click of approval/thanks. It's when that clicking also is listed elsewhere (Activity)... it's for non-thread purposes: Like hey! This person liked this and you might too! Go look! It's the extraneous use and subliminal manipulation of members behaviors that I choose to avoid. Facebook wrote the book on that; hard to not follow suit, perhaps. Especially with banner ad sales. Not judging, just sayin. Likely most have no problem with these things and that's fine! I choose to not be a part of that energy - and that's fine too. (-:
  22. What are you known for?

    :D
  23. The four fundamentals of reality

    dwai, thanks for posting that! Although the nomenclature is different, the underlying concepts are clearly pointing to the moon that is so familiar to me! One in particular brought a big smile: "And even the very idea of the wholeness of the Absolute can only be a concept in consciousness!" which I express with the words: 'Even Tao is just an idea." Nice to float along the same stream on another's raft for a change. (-: Thanks again, warmest regards
  24. What are you known for?

    Plott + Pug = Plenty of Pleasure! (and Poop)
  25. What are you known for?

    I am known as the human who fills the food bowls, magically appears when there is real trouble, and 'accidently' drops people food for a quick 4-legged clean up.
