Yes, that was my position too. I heard from him that he boycotted the last episode... yea, now that's tell them

IMO, he was the true roast master.. and the most intelligent comedy rarely seen.

Even the dragon seemed to give Jon a pass... that seemed telling on some level. Bran... maybe just patriarchal thing. thanks for clearing up the bastard thing... I'll scratch that off my list

I think sharing your teaching would be good. I'd likely look at making virtual accessible DVDs... or offer free pickup On Amazon or Ebay you can be a seller but I recently heard that Amazon requires more personal info for taxes issues. Not sure if that causes issues for you. I sell on Ebay and while I don't have a 'store', one can be created but likely some fees.

I agree... and regardless of the father, still a bastard boy, right? The Stark clan was said to have a very hard time to reconcile with any other ruler... they got the rule in the end.

I keep hearing that but I love loose endings that seem to end with WTF was that. Don't you like the feeling of, "I didn't see that BS coming?"

BTW: My three chapter recap post above was an intentional slowdown to the next chapter...

I've got no preference on pace, except if I see discussion stop then I assume that means, move on. My main thought on what is being shared is, our reality is always going to change no matter how long we decide to ponder the moment. To me, that means whatever I am pondering now will be soon different and then how important was each ponder; the first seemed insightful but the second disproves that. The third will make both seem wrong. I wonder when this pondering will just stop

nice idea. I've done that before and get a WTF was I thinking at times I somewhat know Dan... I don't have his book and don't have a PDF version to reference. So that should explain why he is not in the list. From my brief research into the three books, it seems Bai Xin and Xin Shu are like a commentary on Neiye. But it seems the Neiye is oldest. I posted links to them but now can't find it. If I could get it again, maybe we look at those after.

IMO, He comes across as too academic. I get a similar feeling when reading Hendricks.

My son was a die-hard follower... and don't even mention his Marvel Universe madness. But he was so pissed that Arya did the killing deed and not Jon, a few shows ago... and then as you mention other surprises to his ways. Actually, it all fits him. Arya disappears after her signature killing. Bran can't see but he saw the ending; winter came and went, and he sits alone on a throne he didn't want. The incestual siblings die together. Tryion was the brains throughout but his compassion was maybe weakness to not see what was coming. Varys saw it and was killed. Put a red bow around it. I didn't read the books and likely will not ever. Next show...

Yep... 3 and 5 jumps off the page... I said to myself, that's SJ for sure Sorry brother... I just couldn't resist

greatly appreciate the post. But Roth never found non-dual.

Is this an economic quiz on supply vs demand ?

I've looked at these opening lines of ctext section 1, our section 1-3 several times and matched up some phrasing to ctext. Very few are unique, if at any. Here is my keyword summary of the sections: 凡 物 之 精 Always : the essence of creatures –Jing Heaven / Earth Ghosts / Spirits Center of Chest Sage Qi of the citizens Heaven / Abyss / Ocean Residing in self Calmed by De welcomed by intent Maintain and not lose = Developed De De develops, Wisdom arises = bounty of the the ten thousand is attained 凡 心 之 形 Always : the form of the heart/mind is Form of the heart Natural vs reasons you lose it Leave behind the reasons to return to natural state Nature of that heart [natural state] naturally achieves harmony by your side, over looked without boundaries (Wuji) Use De daily my comments focusing on Linnell: 1. 凡 means all. 凡 物 之 精 means, All creatures have an essence... so, the essence of all creatures. 2. 精 - Jing. This seems much different than later uses of Jing in the sense that it is not a procreation thing. It is akin to Qi. 3. see: https://ctext.org/liji/ji-yi?searchu=物之精&searchmode=showall#result . part 18-19. 4. Thus, the Qi of the citizens... seems a major overlook as citizen (Ren) will be mentioned in many later sections. (thanks TT). The 'thus' or even 'therefore' seems not best. Maybe, 'In the same way'... the shift from Jing to Qi has no transition. 5. Developed De: this can just be completed or arrived at a state. That the 'bounty of the ten thousand is attained' sounds more cosmological, this can be a natural outcome of life. 6. Form of the heart as potentially, 'standard' is an interesting direction to look at in future sections as form is used a few times later and it is not the character for 'standard'. 7. Wuji mentioned is in next section for most authors.

FYI: I included the lines that Linnell and Eno keep as a part of this section. I will repeat it in the next so everyone starts the same. Added: At ctext.org, this 3rd section concludes their Section 1.

A word of warning... make sure there are no fire ants colonizing around the tree. I once found a colony , against my plan

刑 has some overlap to law 法 (fa), which 'standard' makes sense. And maybe we need to see 形 (xing) in a different light too.

NY... I assume you mean New York people

What are you doing to open your heart ?

I've told this story elsewhere here, I am sure, but I'll post it again. My Taiji master, an acupuncturist, asked me to fill in to his first day of Taiji class at a TCM school. So I first engaged in conversation to ask their motivation and desires and future goals, etc. But the telling part was most of them just finished the Qigong 'requirement' but most said they felt no energy and hopped around like animals and don't see WTF it was all about. I asked them if there was a large tree outside and they said a few. So I said we would go 'hug a tree' to understand. There were about 10 of us and we circled the tree. I told them to breath a few times slowly and deep... like their mind was not there except their heart knew the universe was there... and then asked them to put their hands upwards and continue the slow breathing in the way I said... and said, feel the tree... note the feeling. We did that for about 5-10 seconds and then stepped 3 feet to the right. We repeated till everyone had gone around the tree. I asked them. What part of the tree most talked to them. 100% of them said the same spot. And they described their palms as flowing with energy...

Yes and I agree with that thought... but how to get there may still require broadening one's view of daoism till they change course.. or not.

I attempted a translate before here... https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/38553-lu-dongbin-100-character-stele/ If I read it myself, years later, I would likely change some of it... but glad to see another ! Much love in translation !

It has been discussed in the first two chapters. Seems an interpretative difference.

you posted four characters as: 修 心 靜 意 - Order Heart Calm To-thought The heart is calmed by the mind; Meditation
