Issuing curses is against the rules so its been Hid.

It works ... just chatted to Viator for 3 seconds ... chat away bums!

Hurrah!!!!

Can someone try chat today please. sean says he's fixed the issue with access. Ta.

Is that you David Cameron?

Lord of the Rings, Tomb Raider and Star Trek ... I can see where you get your sophisticated philosophy from.

Is she an Ent-wife by any chance?

Yep that's Strider all right.

Its Aragorn isn't it ... def not Gandalf anyway.

BlueMonk, Just forget about it all. get on with your life. Do math and electronics .. topology ... whatever you are good at ... try to be very good at it ... in a few years you will be watching the others discussing where it all went wrong and you will be happy ... and shagging a lovely woman no doubt.

What does that map mean? The link doesn't work for me.

Gone for a quick horse stance maybe.

That Indian Lady knows what she's doing ... I think GP's just blagging it

You could do better than govinda and his multi-dimensional wotsit and I think Leadbetter was a theosophist. Overall I was going to say don't learn meditation from a book ... then I realised I did just that my self (Concentration by Mouni Sadhu) ... but in hindsight it was a waste of time. Either: a) just sit and do some simple breath watching/counting which you can get from anywhere - and most importantly use this as a basis for exploring your mind; b ) go and see a teacher in person and get proper one:one instructions.

There are plenty of good Buddhist gags. Like the old one about why a Buddhist can't use his vacuum cleaner ... 'cos he lacks the attachment. Anyway most Buddhists I know are happy cheery types and great company. Tho' none belong to the NKD or FWBO and so on .. s maybe that's the secret to happy buddhing.

I think the creation of a monastic order can be understood as freeing people up from the trappings of what was a very tightly controlled society ... arranged marriages, strict behaviour and so on. Rather than taking away from people it gave them the individual freedom to pursue spiritual goals in life without the responsibilities of marriage, children, work to feed oneself and others and social duty and obligation. Nowadays in the west I am not so sure that it all means quite the same thing as we have come to understand the life of a monk as being about discipline and privation.

Ditto above ... please let me know why you want account deleted. We don't usually do this.

Being always wrong is something of an achievement. Most people are right sometimes just through chance.

I don't want to be medium I want to be average.

I think we might start to annoy the yanks if we keep on this theme ... maybe a new thread on animal coats?

The ladies don't complain.

Stoat, ferret, weasel we are all brothers under the fur.

A positive way of thinking about this is that what has happened is a opening up in you. She sounds like a flirty type and so probably nothing out of the ordinary has happened to her but she has operated as a target for your feelings. It is likely, and this is my experience that such feelings for her are in fact a precursor to allow you to feel this way about someone more appropriate. or to put it another way... wait for someone else to show up. If you stay open and true to yourself (and avoid bitterness or uncomfortability) this will most likely happen. I know this sounds like some kind of new age crap but it is my observation that this is how energy works in practice.
