That is definitely your right. I wish you the best and hope you find what you're looking for!

What is this golden flower, and where do I buy it?

Why was it so sad that the children died yesterday? The death of potential. The potential for discovery, regeneration, and growth holds the true significance of emptiness. A full shell cannot hold much more. By not letting go, you are killing yourself. An empty shell has the potential to contain all things. Not only do you give yourself a renewed chance to grasp the essence of life, the imprint left by the emptied trash can help carry the burden of others.

Semantics. Jesus can be named. And of course Tao can be named. I just used both of the names in the past two sentences. The point here is, the truth that Tao and Jesus represent are too profound to be limited by words or definitions. Thus any description you use for these entities--son of God, the subtle origin, nothing, something, Jesus, Tao-- they are only partial descriptions of the truth, not the whole truth. Taking a shit is Tao. Praying to God is Tao. Mowing the Lawn can be Tao. Yet is Tao limited to these activities? Nope. They are certainly Tao, though.

http://thetaobums.co...editation-room/ It's not exactly the playboy mansion, but the "meditation room" is created. Hope you guys enjoy it. I'll use it for sure in the early morning, if you'd like to join me.

Actually, the idea with this thread might be a little different. This room would be 24/7...unless I misread the group meditation thread.

I'll rethink this before posting.

Yes, the spine's important. I deleted the post because I don't think those type of things are suited for this thread. But don't get too tight! : ) Don't worry. I didn't even know what you were referring to. I don't get offended easily, especially on an online forum. You should challenge and question everything I say. I'm not here to argue, I'm not teaching anyone. Just sharing some stuff. Your opinion is equally as valid as mine here. I can learn from you.

That's actually a perfect description. You let go and let the energy do its own thing. The energy feels like its both internal and external.
