Yea I think what we so often call "me or I" is actually the delusion of calling a thought "me" thinking the thought is "I" as opposed to conditioning that is not who we really are.

lol of course enlightenment is the answer, and the hindrance to that answer is this false sense of self that gets in the way, but it is rather confusing. This talk was pretty mind blowing.

and what is that?

And what is that aspect of self that wants notoriety, recognition, fame, and popularity? What is it about the self that gets angry or upset if it does not get this?

true, but in the lives of most people they are rarely separated

Cause I didn't say the key was not wanting women, I said the key was not wanting women, AND meditation, AND abstinence.

no one said its easy lol, but then again letting go of clinging never is, but its possible and very rewarding

wow that's so sad

oh well that's easy, build a LOT of qi. Do that through lots of meditation and abstinence and creating emptiness by not wanting women, its really a paradox lol.

Well I suppose if friends make out with each other and go home together at the end of the night, then I suppose they could have been. lol

How does one realize Anatta?

good point

Oh no one knows that, not even women haha

True, but it still supports the point that they don't necessarily have to be good looking. I do listen. On the other hand I've noted for a long time that what women say they want is often very different than what they really want.

lol why do you say that? Most of the chicks I've known in dojo's (most not all) have some real power issues.

Yup that would make sense

Well in all actuality they are always spinning as the word "chakra" means wheel in Sanskrit.

Do the chickens have large talons?

whaaaaaa the f..........

Oh man I see it all the time, especially when I was in Hawaii lol.

Maybe he isn't bored at all. People often tell me I look bored, but I'm not lol. I'm often content and perhaps people mistake that as boredom. I would imagine that a master at Tai Chi would likely be content as well.

I think the reason many people feel "loneliness" is because when they are by themselves they are left with only their own minds which is what most people are trying so desperately hard to get away from in the first place. My roommate is this way, she literally can not bear to be by herself, she always has to be around someone. I think I must totally baffle her cause I try to be alone as much as humanly possible so that I can be with myself, not escape myself lol.

Well its a TCM school so it comes with the territory lol.
