Earth beneath your feet Yes I'm doing a handstand Balancing a sod.

He'll be heading for an early bath, early doors.

At the end of the day it was a debate of two halves. The boys done well I thought.

You are refering to Nottingham I assume

Went there once only ... great town I thought.

What! Naked people dancing?

with a wooden spoon with an old clay baking pot matches, fire and food.

Got it now ... started listening. Will be seeding at steam powered marconi wireless speeds lol.

Where's the flowers?

Biscuits and wine I heard... at the Vatican not the Swingers Clubs.

relax and let go of that Southern drawl you have speak the Queen's English.

So American ... BTW this is supposed to be a haiku chain ...

Samsara is a view of 'what really is' which is conditioned by ignorance and grasping/craving. When the energy of grasping craving is burnt out then the view is nirvana. However both are 'empty' i.e shunyata ... and seeing this is the mahayana non-duality of it all. Hope that's clear as mud

torrenting as we speak ... keep seeding

As I see it you have to develop in three ways. Energy work, virtue/impeccability in your life and deep understanding. Intellectual work is necessary ... you do have to study so that you properly understand the concepts you are working with, you need to be able to access and work with power and you have to live your life according to principles which make you a balanced and whole person (capable of sustaining energy and so on). So its all round growth ... if you ignore one of these areas you will becaome unbalanced and sooner or later have to catch up or experience pitfalls.

@GMP "cum retreat resort" ... I think you may mean that literally.

"But the following Contraries to these are True. 1. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul; for that call'd Body is a portion of Soul discern'd by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age. 2. Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy. 3. Energy is Eternal Delight. William Blake"

Last year Last year I helped the local oil mill (lagar) owner with English and went with him to food fair in Lisbon ... so I got all my info from him and visits to the mill. The Italian's seem to have the oil market sown up but the oil from round here has won many gold medals for taste and so on ... but I am biased Basically you need to distinguish between the natural stuff and the mass produced supermarket stuff ... it probably doesn't matter which country it comes from as they all use similar varieties of olive trees. because there is a glut there is a huge war raging between Europe and Us/Australia so a lot of the info given out is really an attempt to influence people's buying habits ... e.g. thinking Italian must be the best and so on. Having said that different oils have slightly different tastes so just try a few and see what you like. It should be golden/green, reasonably viscous, and as I say if it has solids in the bottom when cold that's good not bad. Buy extra-virgin and look for the date anything over 18 months avoid ... it could be ok but depends on storage ... also a dark bottle is better cos sun light degrades the oil.

Yes something to do with Blavatsky or similar.

As an olive grower myself (3 trees) I have to say that article is the most misinformed I have ever read. i suspect that its just part of some commercial battle going on in the US over olive oil production. Extra vigin olive oil is determined by acidity (0 - 0.8 %) and not taste or age. Olive oil keeps quality for about 2 years if properly bottled and declines after that. 90% of olive oil is produced from cold press processes. This usually means a centrifuge and almost all US olive oil is produced this way. the traditional process is cold stone presses. Oil produced by heat or addititives cannot be labelled virgin or extra virgin ... so watch out for anything labelled 'pure' or other term ... its not. Stay away from the stuff in super markets cos looking at it and having seen the real stuff its not good stuff. For instance it should go almost solid at low temperatures. the colour only reflects whether the olives were green or black when picked and does not affect the quality. Also there's a world glut at the moment so you should be able to get it cheap.

the mincing Maoist master from Minsk ... does he speak Russion or Chineesi? Answer that Mrs. Cat.

That's IT ... what is it?

I think this proves my point ... whatever it was. Minsk is ALLOWED. Confession is ALLOWED.

is this it?

Maybe they just didn't know the answer
