That ain't very natural is it.

That's the whole point, I think.

Nice article from the BBC website: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-35358487 Our oral tradition goes way back, probably even much older than this article suggests ... relying on the written word we tend to forget just how ancient our heritage is and also how the ideas we have now which might think are quite modern have very deep roots.

I think at least some of the traffickers are ISIS and Turkish govt. - a lot of money has changed hands and there's a war to fight. I said from the beginning - deploy the European member states navies in the Med and turn back the boats - send in military backed international police and arrest the gang leaders. Assess the people and allow in genuine asylum seekers according to capacity of the receiving nations - I think the numbers would be quite small. And for instance insist that rich gulf states like Saudi Arabia provide aid and shelter to their fellow muslims.

Not according to some Daoist schools - 'you' comes from 'wu'. (e.g. Xuanxue school). And zero is the difference between say, 1 and 10 - which is 9 of course. Or if you prefer a quantum field where energy comes from nothing.

Everyday on the news I watch another boat load of migrants being hauled out of the Med ... many are complete families including small children and pregnant women, old grannys too - who in their right mind would think it the best thing to do to subject your own family to such risks. Sure I still have human sympathy for people suffering - but it's obvious that they are following some kind of bizarre false dream of life in Germany or elsewhere - some kind of mythical shangrila. Its ridiculous.

great bass player.

I don't agree with everything in this video but it is at least a thoughtful analysis:

Any chance of expanding that a little because I'm not I understand.

Sorry ... the twigs and sticks have conflagrated into inert ash.

The burnt out fire.

Well maybe, but I think the very reason this problem has developed is people shutting their eyes through denial and fear. Cool headed clear analysis could have it quickly solved if our leaders were capable of such a thing.

I'm not sure emotional hate filled statements are what we need right now.

Where is that quote from please.?

Oh well I don't question his authority as a Shaivit but I don't like his translation - it's more like a commentary. But that's just from the point of view of textual exegesis and nothing more. For instance the first line doesn't say anything about the wheel of birth and death.

Is he an English speaker? If not someone is translating his interpretation and not the original words. I would ask gatito this is his territory, if you want an alternative translation.

I'm touched that you are following and remembering all my posts.

That's a very flowery and wordy translation if I may say so (based on my limited Sanskrit).

I know you'll be tempted but pease don't slaughter 100 cattle and throw them on the pyre for Agni.

sweet for being little well not little exactly adequate I'd say.

... but we don't all get an Oscar.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of law, Love is the law, love under will,

Ha ha no indeed. Interestingly though (or at least interesting to me) Art 9 (e) says that it is the role of the state a) To guarantee national independence and create the political, economic, social and cultural conditions that promote it; ... so really they should leave the EU since they are not allowed to give away political or economic control!!!!! Ha! I wonder how many European nations have the same or similar conditions.
