They've already passed some legislation which prevents May from changing Tax laws without going back to Parliament - which essentially prohibits a Hard Brexit until this has happened. It's obvious that certain factions in Parliament spent the Christmas break plotting - it is taking away control from the Government to prevent hard Brexiteers having influence - I wouldn't be surprised if May is secretly collaborating - as it leaves only her deal and remain as the two options that go to a second referendum ... maybe. The idea of Parliament exerting control in the case of a weak government is interesting.

Three days seems a bit short for Plan B. (supposing there is a Plan B).

An emotion means a feeling that moves energy. So you could call love an emotion if you want but then you have to distinguish love from desire - and particularly real love from romantic attachment which is a different thing.

I think the sign that non-dual awareness emanates love and indeed wisdom is that it is a measure of truly awakened people that they demonstrate both love and wisdom as a natural effect of their enlightenment. OK it is possible that some realised beings simply abstract themselves out of existence, don't interact with others or say anything. But if realised beings they do interact with others then they demonstrate love and wisdom which comes directly from their non-dual awareness.

According to Speaker Bercow - calling someone a Nazi is fascism. Figure that out.

It's already started and its going to be shit: https://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2019/jan/08/german-slowdown-industrial-output-recession-fears-uk-house-prices-stock-markets-business-live

Ok but what makes her a Nazi? Is it that she is literally Hitler? or something.

Knowing the French a few 100,000 will appear wearing masks - saying arrest all of us.

Why do they think she is a Nazi? To be honest I don't know who she is.

Of course QE and the ending of QE within the Eurozone will affect the UK economy - but that will happen whether we Brexit or not. We are all heading for a recession probably starting later this year I think. A kind of adjustment to the adjustment of austerity and post-austerity - which were in any case sticking plasters over an ailing economy.

We're not in the Euro-zone and never have been.

Problems of the attitude of the western mind towards Daoism (and Buddhism and Yoga etc.): 1. It is exotic and mysterious 2. It consists of the cultural trappings, art, language and so on 3. It is designed to benefit me - through health, relaxation, mindfulness etc. 4. It will fit all my personal biases and prejudices 5. I can step easily into to it with all my Judeo-Christian baggage ...

It is a dance called the Westminster gavotte. Complex, hideous and sickening to witness

Meaning is the definition of the limits of application of terms. It is not so much 'is it a car' once the wheels have been taken off - it is what it is - it is simply a question of whether you can meaningfully still apply the term 'car' to it. Its the same with human beings. The application of the term male or female is not a definition of the whole being or the totality of that person. So the term 'male' is applicable to more or less 50% of the population which is applied because they are capable (or designed to be) of producing sperm. With this comes some other characteristics such as height and muscle mass and so on. So you can make average statistical statements about 'men' or 'women' knowing that the variation within those populations will make each infdividual different.

So anyway the whole Brexit thing will kick off again tomorrow I assume when Parliament returns. Can't wait.

the police are wearing yellow vests which could be confusing!

More frogs going crazy:

Hi Uselis, Just a few thoughts. It seems like you have had a disorientating energy experience and that this has occurred because you have done intense practice without first laying the foundations for this. You are not alone. Many people come on here having experienced something of this nature. And it is not permanent - but you need to convince yourself of this. I suspect the intensity of the energy is making it hard for you to assess yourself and your situation. You need to ground or earth the energy, calm down a little bit and reassess. You say you can't do practical things - like gardening - and ironically this is the kind of thing that might help. Simple practical tasks which might help you redirect your attention from your internal state. I would recommend that you make yourself do something like this at first for half and hour or so everyday. Or if not go for a short walk and make it longer each day - something like that. You could also try just standing still for as many minutes that you can manage and consciously relaxing the body - then think that surplus energy is draining out of your body into the earth through the soles of your feet. If you can find someone local who knows about K. then even better. Best wishes A.

Them French eh?
