Greetings.. The Physical 'eyes' are limited to a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, and energies that shape the Cosmos.. the 'Third Eye' is a link to the complete electromagnetic spectrum, when active and understood.. the effects of forces are observable when the full spectrum is revealed.. it changes everything. Be well..

Greetings.. Is it any wonder? People can't even comprehend Tao (it's way too simple), how do you expect them to 'see'.. And, neither is particularly necessary.. Be well..

Greetings.. Another point, to accentuate the duality of it all, is that any indication of 'how' it is grasped or realized.. affirms the duality of 'IT", and that which is 'grasping and realizing'.. "IT" and 'that' cannot be the same, nor are they different.. let go of this needyness to be one or the other, it is suffocating your existence.. Be well..

Greetings.. If we are pondering 'Tao' in least way, we are missing 'it' in the most 'way'.. Tao, was chosen in the native language, precisely to avoid such scholarly atrocity.. Tao means 'way', the way, as in the 'way' things are.. yes, precisely as in 'nature's way'.. Before 'Taoism' was an 'ism', there were those who 'lived the Way'.. they didn't consider themselves 'Taoists', others understood the clarity of their 'ways', and labeled them 'Taoists'.. I am constantly in awe of the ability to be surprised at every unfolding instant of Life, as if it were fresh, new, and something to be studied intensely, except.. something fresh, new, and exciting is already unfolding still.. each morning i open my eyes, the surprise of that miracle is simple cause for another day of total celebration with unconditional sincerity and a pure gusto for the stream of surprises each day reveals.. each time your lungs fill with air should be an intense and sacred event.. Worship nothing, yet maintain a sacred reverence for ALL things.. ALL things, great and small, desired or rejected, good or bad.. Be well..

Greetings.. The Course, Plilosophy 101.. the year 1968.. the first assignment: After calling roll and a few housekeeping comments, the professor sat down and just watched us watching him.. after a time, maybe 10 minutes (it was the '60s, time was really relative), he asked what was in the bottle on his filing cabinet.. there was an unopened Pepsi bottle on the cabinet, so we answered Pepsi.. then, he rotated the bottle 180 degrees and it said Coca-Cola.. so, a few people said a dark liquid, so.. he opened the bottle and poured out a clear liquid, the dark color was painted inside the bottle.. then, he said: "Come back to class on Wednesday with one type-written page on how you, personally, determine what is true".. that was one of the most difficult papers i've ever written, given his demonstration of what we 'assume'.. the rest of that semester was spent on 'Truth'.. Be well..

Greetings.. So.. the Circus Ship was sailing off the coast of an island inhabited by cannibals when it ran aground.. later, as two cannibals were simmering a clown, one tastes the broth and asks the other, "Hey!, does this taste funny to you"? Be well..

Greetings.. Drift into the transcendence.. Sorry, bad link to Wah.. the CD, Savasana.. Be well..

Greetings.. There's no justification intended, no further 'arguement required'.. there won't be enough 'soup kitchens' for the 'big one'.. i'm simply explaining what will happen, history has foretold this scenario many times.. Be well..

Greetings.. If you can handle the raw power of this Lady, prepare to be overwhelmed by Caryn Lin.. to see her live is astonishing.. Be well..

Greetings.. When a parent can't feed their children, for whatever reason, they will accept charity or resort to less desirable means.. you can give it away charitably, or have taken away forcibly, either way.. nature will balance the equation.. Be well..

Greetings.. And, even this contends with 'nature'.. its heirarchy of values are stairs to the basement.. Be well..

Greetings.. Hi Kate: As you become familiar with your personal energetic 'symphony' of frequencies and vibrations, you will be able to enhance your practice with music that affects coherence and resonance where needed.. you can actually get deeply involved in this area of study and identify very effective healing and cultivating sounds and frequencies.. vibrational therapies are emerging as a fundamental Life-Enhancing modality.. since we ARE Energy, we heal by effecting change within our Energies, and music can be 'instrumental' (pun intended) if understood.. Be well..

Very nicely articulated!! the words form an understandable 'Energy', thanks! Be well..

Greetings.. One of my mentors guided me on a 'Tibetan Death Meditation' (TDM).. where you begin shutting down internal systems until all that's left is Awareness of the Body 'you' are inhabiting.. the guide is there to keep you from completely discarding the 'vehicle'.. it is very tempting as you begin to understand the 'process', but.. the purpose is not abandonment of the vehicle.. forward from the first TDM) you have 'Death' as a companion, unfortunately (or fortunately, i don't know which) 'Death' had already made my acquaintance.. so, TDM was a very interesting experience for me AND my mentor.. Be well..

Greetings.. The use of "our" in the referenced post is ambiguous.. "our greed" is ambiguous until qualified, it is a perfectly valid reference if you and i conspire to greedily scam others, hence "our greed".. Mostly, this thread is rationalizing the use of vulgarity.. a part of us just celebrates the juvenile discovery of taboos and the thrill of challenging them.. the 'good ol' days' (yesterday?) Be well..

Greetings.. Generally, we use the 'ego' to describe the 'me' we wish we weren't.. in actuallity, ego is not some separate entity that manipulates you, it IS you.. you are your ego, you are its author and its source.. If the image you show people is not the 'real' you, that's not 'ego', is the face of your deception.. accept 'who you are', don't separate yourself into more or less marketable commodities, like 'ego', 'soul', etc.. Be well..

Greetings.. Well.. that depends.. a serial rapist will make the same arguement.. some absolutely amazing 'sex' can happen with a glance, a smile, a turn of the head, or a well timed coy innuendo.. sex is an energy not fully dependent on physicallity or intercourse.. likewise, good ol' back-archin', sweat-grindin', ham-slammin' has its place, too.. or, as good Taoists might say, "balance", Wu Wei.. Be well..

Greetings.. Language is art.. love is art.. there great artists and there are 'doodlers'.. art begins with a deep appreciation and passion for its expression.. do not be fooled by those pedaling vulgarity as art, however warm, tender, moist and sensual it may feel, if you step in dog-shit, it still smells like dog-shit.. Be well..

Greetings.. Could you be more clear? I do not wish to be misunderstood.. "Oh Lord, Please don't let me be misunderstood", Eric Burdon and The Animals, circa 1967.. (google it) Be well..

Greetings.. Qi IS Energy.. behaving as intended by Consciousness. and.. That is Consciousness as the Undifferentiated Whole, AND as the Independently Functioning Versions of itself, we/us/Life.. Qi IS Energy, and it seems that a lot of people want to confine it to a particular Culture's beliefs about it.. experience it beyond the limitations of Culture.. Be well..

Greetings.. "I" is the result of Individuality.. the sum of the Unique interpretations and perceptions of experiences between 'You' the Independently Functioning Version of.. 'You' the Undifferentiated Wholeness.. yeah, i had to read it a couple of times, too, but.. it says what i think i mean.. Be well..

Greetings.. It's also the color of those flashing lights in your rear-view mirror.. now, explain to the nice man with the mirrored sunglasses, how you have Buddha-nature and the shaking and erratic driving is a random Shaktipat experience.. Be well..

Greetings.. I have access to a stunning piece of property where Florida's aquifer is pushed to the surface by geological formations.. on 5500 acres i have documented 52 natural fresh-water springs 6 of which each flow at a rate exceeding 10 million gallons of potable water per day.. in the midst of these fresh-water springs is a huge Artesian Spring pumping 'sulphur-water' at 14 million GPD.. the sulphur water is drinkable, but much less desirable than the fresh-water springs.. Zephyr Hills Spring Water, a bottled water company, got permits from the State to collect and market the fresh water from 2 of these springs with no treatment whatsoever, fortunately the private owner decided against the program due to disruption of the natural environment.. I often camp at the site in cool weather, but.. summer camping in Florida is not a recommended activity.. Be well..

Greetings.. Not what the communication says.. see below: That is 'my' personal speculation as to the motive for bringing completely unrelated discussions into existing discussions.. a term often used is 'hijacking a thread or topic'.. this sort of activity is disrespectful and incites conflict, does that indicate 'Buddha-nature'? Please understand, it is not within the capacity of Buddhist beliefs or activities to 'Darken' my existence.. that would be giving away the sovereignty of individuality without acknowledging the Completeness of Wholeness.. How many times does one touch fire before concluding that touching fire is simply not consistent with a 'clear' understanding of one's relationship with their environment? BE well..

Greetings.. Hi Ya Mu: The 'heaviness' is a quality that follows the Buddhist invasion of any particular topic.. it seems a certain group on this forum do not feel 'Enlightened' unless they 'Darken' the existences of others.. they need every productive discussion to be about 'their version' of Buddhism.. It would be appropriate for the 'Buddhists' to start their own thread, and if anyone is interested, they are 'free' to visist and chat.. it is a mockery of respectable Buddhism. Be well..
