i dont mind feeling the energy of this artist, dont mind at all or this one dinner with the following tomorrow http://positiveexposure.org/about-the-program-2/rick-guidotti/

is dogmatic a pun towards my coywolf!? lol

speaking of evolution, or is it creation? i go with creation in the case of the coywolf. it is the creation of the coyote and the wolf. or of nature. but it is an example of evolution too. so trickster (coyote) decided to mate with the wolf. they seem to prefer the bronx over brooklyn. so as a wolf would prefer to avoid human contact, this coywolf ventures on in closer.

those of you who are going to do horse stance this year, go for it, i will pass on that. but i will add some practice to acknowledge the year of the Horse. the horsetail whisk

general disclaimer >>> opinion only; i feel that the artist's energy will be connected to the art. i ask myself, do i want this energy coming in contact with mine? example, i do not listen to the music of motley crue, becoz they havnt held up too well. another example, altho many lay-people wrongly are under the assumption that van Gogh was mentally ill, he certainly was not and had a terrific energy about him. i would love to come in contact with some van Gogh art. everything is energy.

rbv, i do live in kentucky and have always had a deep fondness for our horses (thus my bias). and as mh reminds us, Chuang Tzu many times used the galloping horse analogy. all of the changes in and of motion in and of that moment. 3 months ago when a neighbor offered to trade a horse for my jeep, i shouldve thought it was the year of the horse coming up and not the year of the jeep.

we can also suspend a members ability to post without suspending them. this way they can still pm with mods and explain their post/action.and if the issue is flagrant insults being exchanged-this prevents more piling on of insults-leading to a more serious situation for all concerned. this is not exactly a perfect solution either, tho, there are still things us as mods havnt quite worked out yet. its a process.

my guess it the horse ran off the snake. everyone keeps saying horse, so i reckon a horse it is. scroll down the linked post to the second short paragraph about On Reverting To Your Original Innocence http://thetaobums.com/topic/14324-taoist-philosophy/ "The life of things passes by like a galloping horse. Every movement brings a change, and every hour makes a difference. What is one to do or what is one not to do? Indeed, everything will take its own course." Tao is a galloping horse, (a green one at that)

tsiwt (thats a name with a twist?) do what resonates with you. listen to your own inner voice as to what path to embark upon. just enter the path with sincerity and have some patience. with any practice after it becomes 'routine' you may have a tendency to "just stop doing it" it may seem like you are not feeling the obvious results that you were feeling, but it may be working on more subtle levels that you are not as sensitive to yet.

i think this is evidence of the power of suggestion theory. one is aware that it is the day that the year of the horse begins and everyone starts seeing a horse in an ambiguous rorschach test

they are also taking away some benefits that veterans have already earned. by all means, let's put the burden on the veterans who have risked their ass literally for this country, by all means, lets raise the interest rates on students trying to improve their prospects by going deep in debt for the hope of an opportunity. by all means, lets cut food stamps benefits to the people who cannot even afford groceries. someone could work 2 or 3 of these minimum wage jobs and still be below the poverty line. and many do exactly that. certainly it makes all the sense in the world to continue to raise taxes on the poor. it doesnt matter if its called a tax or not, it is quite taxing to be sure. and by no means, ever consider that someone who can afford 6 bugatti's and a home on every continent might be asked to pay one cent more in taxes.

did you just say , "you never know which" I wonder if its the same mechanism at work with tarot cards as it is with the I Ching? becoz, my experience with the I Ching has been extremely reliable to the point of uncanny. ,,,,when I look inside my window,,,,, hehehe

yep. lost a good one there, his grandson's name is Tao, how cool is that !?

,,,,,when i look outside my window, what do i see? 2 rabbits running in the ditch, you got to pick up every stitch, romanian gypsies lookin to get rich, oh nooooooooooooooo coincidently, well not really, coz with this sorta thing, its always with us. but i am writing a paper on ancient archetypes, i am focusing on the Trickster,, but either from Frye, Campbell, Jung, or Levi-Strauss i reckon the Witch is always present and deeply embedded. ,,as i look over my shoulder,,,,

fascinating. and i thought so telling of the signs of the times was " witches used to ride around on broomsticks, nowadays, they drive new audi" and it seemed like the ones who 'crafted' the law to ban the tv advertising were quick to point out that they are not the ones who actually passed the law! "Witchcraft among the Cherokee does not resemble that of non-Indian cultures. To understand and respect the beliefs of traditional Cherokee about using medicine, conjuring, and witchcraft you must first consider early Indian societies and consider how this has remained an integral part of Cherokee culture even up to the present day. There are ordinary witches and then there are killer witches. Ordinary witches are actually considered the more dangerous since a person can never be sure he is dealing with one and they are more difficult to counteract. They may even deceive a medicine person and cause them to prescribe the wrong cure if not they aren't careful. One killer witch still spoken of often by traditionalists today is the Raven Mocker." http://www.cherokee.org/AboutTheNation/Culture/General/TheTraditionalBeliefSystem.aspx

i wanted to go to romania just to teach english to the gypsies and vampires , so they would say "howdy ya'll" something is up, i just discovered this valerie june on youtube this morning becoz of the mississippi sheiks video i was playing, they have all of those other selections listed on the side, now i find out she is in kentucky today..she has some type of power??? i wont play here here on this thread again but i am diggin her style.. well may as well play sth lol ,,,bbq bob has a version of the "one song" but he calls it "im on my way down home" instead of stittin on top of the world,,,, i think i'll play the bangles!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6YBjNFPH5g

i always thought that most folks dont have enuff imagination to be able to see reality.

that is contemporary? I always liked that number, it is a sad story but it sounds good. here is another cheerie tune,,or dreary, depending on ones perspective, I reckon,,it is up to date tho !! well forget it, I was gonna play some Mississippi sheiks they call it religion,,, they are like my favorite blues band this morning,,lets switch gears.hmm how boutz,,stickin wit da blues, but harkening back to a more honest and open time, refreshing I must say... there is ruth brown's if I cant sell it, ill sit on it, and alberta hunter, clara smith didn't have nobody to grind her coffee, there was the texas nightingale and the georgia peach, sweet emma aint gonna give you none of her jelly roll, they just don't make em like that anymore,,do they? dang she is rollin and tumbling,,,and refreshing, I must say yeah that's right I just blew up your morning with blues BOOM

soaring crane, thanks for mentioning that. the thought had occurred to me, how does the VA qualify who may or may not teach the Tai Chi or Yoga. i still feel, it is a move in the right direction, in that there is an acknowledgement by the VA that Tai Chi is beneficial to one's health. maybe if more veterens were to request that Tai Chi and Qigong be made available?

the VA is starting to allow Tai Chi into their health care system. and also Yoga. this is a move in the right direction and maybe it will help pave the way for Qigong to be included. http://www.reno.va.gov/features/VASNHCS_Vets_are_introduced_to_Tai_Chi.asp

winter is the season of satire and irony,,, it is easy to maintain balance and harmony, just ignore commanders, even if don juan tried to ignore and tell himself that it was some shadow play of light, that had the statue of the commander 'appear' to move,,,but i digress, move to off topic even. off topic is an area that is under-appreciated, one surely notices that it is in the back room section right there with all the ppf's which , many of them are also directly related to cultivation. difficulty is illusion, Tao is simple and only becomes complicated when we try to intellectualize it.
