i did frequent a public library in a small town that had a 'watch dog' filter in place. the tao bums was still accessible but studytaoism.com was blocked youtube was blocked!!!

mh, is the Way of Chuang Tzu by merton the same as Wanderings on the Way ??? how many chuang tzu texts are their? the one i have now is the one i am most familiar with

keep us posted pfl

i picked up the merton version for now

is all this overkill surveillance , a big bluff? we are watching your every action so behave and stay out of trouble with us, idea like saddam was bluffing iran and us apparenetly

sometimes a footprint in the mud or snow can expand to larger scale than it really is/was. maybe it was garganticus pithicus or whatever he was called? imo the jury is still out on bigfoot. ralis, should the collar be electric shock ? i always wanted a bird for a pet , so i would go with a pterodactyl use it like a falcon for hunting

ttb is always a good place if you need a laugh

did you steal acquire this too? either way thanks for sharing it.

i still prefer the word acquire , anyways go acquire more like this and then come back and share. i had thread called unity once, i think it was about what you have shared. malikshreds, i havnt been to a formal proper temple either---but hasnt kept me from obtaining authentic teaching. the temple can come to the taoist, so to speak.

its all just a big bluff?

knee jerk reactions are not gonna work

within the past year i have read Jung's Symbols of Tranformations and The Spirit in Man, Art, and Lierature, and Alchemical Studies. interesting stuff and i enjoy reading Jung but for now i have to postpone reading Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious. one grad school i am considering is Pacifica, located in santa barbara, it is heavily influenced by Jung and also Joseph Campbell

i understand spicychan enjoy yourself here

ponders ommucation; you cannot not communicate

splash softly and humbly if you like, but no one is gonna push you into the pool, drift and float awhile if you prefer water seeks its own level i am also a humble student

i looked at a set of 16 photo slides posted on yahoo today,( i shared it on the super moon thread ) very sobering slides

cmon in and splash around then

i am at the college library, i will check out chuang tzu, its been awhile since i have read thru it... should i get merton, watson, or legge?

welcome and howdy

i can see me now riding one of those on the back roads or ridges of appalachia. i just hope some moonshine drinkin' hillbilly is able to see me from their ford 450 with lift kit. maybe even hope a bouncing white tail deer would see me in time to avoid wrecking me.

an update, kinda grim but the slide #16 made me smile. http://news.yahoo.com/photos/fukushima-ghost-towns-1331064598-slideshow/

for you

mpg, good point about 'at a place in one's life'. some countries also offer pension status. if one has a monthly income of as low as 700$-1000$ a month they can qualify for permanent residency. it doesnt have to be a govt or corporate check either, just demonstrate you can support yourself. is the main idea. the main point i was trying to make earlier is, that having friends can be every bit as valuable as being in strict compliance with bureaucratic laws. an example. i was once illegally in a country and needed to leave thru conventional means, fly out on a commercial flight, i didnt have any travel documents. i did have a friend who had a friend who had a friend that could give me an official pass out. it cost me a half a gallon of jim beam whisky that i was able to purchase at the duty free kiosk at the airport. i know of countries that will allow one entrance without passport if you renounce your us citizenship. my future travels with not include renouncing anything or leaving as any criminal. but there are havens of all sorts out there. they may not be broadly advertised. can everyone expect to have the experience/results that i have had? perhaps not, but having friends certainly increases the odds. edit results not resluts haha

interesting perspective mh

quite disturbing, I must say someone mentioned leonard cohen I do like Everybody Knows and the R.E.M. cover of First We Take Manhattan I like a few of his really, I had the sopranos theme as a ring tone for awhile heheh
