an enlightened looking bunch you gotta admit, notice they are not spouting off, bellittling anyone, insulting anyone, hating on mods,,i never visited panda gong site myself , i was a mod and could be talked about there as other mods are, idk and dont care, could care less in fact. not sure what happened with mo pai and mpg ? i really doubt any mo pai guys even ever read this stuff, if they did once long ago was probably enuff for them. @more pie guy---this is how you choose to speak about mo pai and other systems on a public forum? what are you thinking?

what username will you be using next time?

i'm no mod, however, it seems plainly stated in TDB rules somewhere, that being a sock puppet is not allowed and further, being a banned member and trying to sneak in with a new username rather than being upright and honest and asking to be allowed back in the front door as opposed to this sneaking in the backdoor nonsense,,,,,, capisce?

every end of year the mopai crowd tries to disrupt the board here,,,, yawn

face the sunshine and shadows fall behind you paraphrasing whitman

“This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.” ― walt whitman

once long ago a us president named nixon lost the presidency for having a few bumbling amateurs crow bar their way into daniel ellsberg's psychiatrist's filing cabinet to get his file of ellsberg,,,,,,,,,, wow, how times have changed,,,,,

i dont think a mountain hermit would be bored at all. in fact a truly resourceful person is never ever bored, and surely it takes a truly resourceful person to transform into a successful mountain hermit. for an unsuccessful mountain hermit, maybe boredom creeps in..idk lately, all i see in the fellow fellows i encounter, is their goodness, beauty, tenderness, playfulness, and great potential. folks helping out other folks is the norm here in my neck of the woods,, the grass is greener here, tastier too

when i first came onto this site,,i quickly began shedding my beliefs/faiths. kate, marblehead, ralis were a few of the members that encouraged me to do so. 2010,2011. other members also gently nudged me in this direction, but the three i mention--were straight up in my face and delivering that message consistently. in 2012 when i began 2012 the long distance course TSM/XYP, some of the initial lessons dealt with mental illusions. a mental illusion is another word for some held beliefs/faiths. usually ones we were indoctrinated into believing due to cultural norms. all along i did hold to what my own experiences showed me. i reasoned that if i could experience a thing, it was likely real. i changed from a faith based perspective to a function based perspective. it is true that i am highly tilted in the subjectivity/sensitivities view rather than a purely objective one. in fact i hold that a strictly objective view is automatically discredited. however, i form my own hypothesis and test those. it is useful to be honest and at least with one's self. i dont have to have a faith or belief in benefits of qigong/bagua/TSM/XYP is real becoz i have experience that reinforces those concepts/practices. instead of my hypothesis leading to any solid objective anything, rather i am led to further subjectivity/sensitivities.

http://www.tcf.ua.edu/Classes/Jbutler/T340/SurManifesto/ManifestoOfSurrealism.htm i do hold to the delusional thought that i am a reincarnated dadaist, no clue as to which one. i resonate with them all.

only going back to maybe 321 bce, not as ancient a site as i generally like to investigate, however, this is an interesting piece of construction. http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2014/08/07/rethinking-ohios-history-serpent-mound-older-some-its-dirt-156268

well, that is a start.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, Language, even the phrase 'each other' doesn't make any sense.----rumi

once saruman was wise, perhaps, he was the leader of the istari, but instead of going thru with the plan to combat the power of sauron,,he thought to seize that power for himself. i think it is a classic example of desire/lust for power. temptation and betrayal. valar wanted to challenge sauron, but instead of direct conflict, valar choose to start a proxy war by stirring up the people. when saruman learned that the one ring might be found at the river anduin, which happened to be close to sauron's stronghold, dol guldor,,,,,saruman persuades the council to drive out sauron. saruman also is secretly presiding over the shire via sharkey, and unwitting men and hobbits begin the destructive process of modernization.
