More like realization of 2nd fold emptiness of self prior to realization of metta = arhat. Stuck in nirvana, until a Buddha can bring him/her out. (imo) For instance, anamatva likely is realizing emptiness of self within metta, rather than realizing it within the mind. Therefore made it through without falling into nirvana and will likely become a "bodhi", if you care for such labels, terms, and traditions. (*shrug*)

Maybe you can see that however you choose to articulate it is irrelevant. As long as the same thing is being pointed at without restrictions, then it doesn't matter. Share it with all the elements. (physically and internally)

I think it's point to vanity.

Love is not to be feared, only your expectations of it.

haha gj! You are standing before teh gate Suffering discontent for the sake of another is compassion, selfless compassion is chosen.

Awareness of awareness, is the freedom from samsara without being trapped in nirvana. 8th. (IMO) Trapped in nirvana isn't really a sense, as the other are with awareness, yet more of an absence or null. (Arhat)?

Instead of considering a point and collapsing the wave, just let the wave flow. There is only so much of knowing the unknowable before knowing the unknowable becomes inevitable.

That is why the central nerve system is being insinuated to be an organ. Separate from touch. Where is the organ for touch?

Wow, things like that are rewarding in and of themselves, without anyone needing to make it so. I though about using a recumbent tricycle and putting solar panels on it, then use 2 electric bicycle motors and a battery to power it, or help you pedal.

GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE. I'm pretty sure Lao Tzu had said something very similar, as did jesus and many others, yet in a diff way.

Oh such a skeptic all of a sudden! Love is proven yet not through science, only experience. So it be the first GATE.

Yah but it wasn't really a mirror. lol.

You could use phenomenal experiences such as metta, middle dan tien, rejuvenation center etc. to further the claim.

If you want to put your writing capabilities to good use, you are free to use 6th and 7th sense theory to further awareness. Feelings should be taught in school without question. I call it the 6th and 7th sense Theory. Please don't take it the wrong way that I am trying to be a teach, I only wish to share something that is self-evident although often overlooked. I has been observed since the beginning of many. If you already know this, please do not take it as an insult. I am in no way pushing this on anyone, only showing so that one may decide for themself. I think this should be considered a Law because it has been observed since the beginning of man. Each one of us have experienced these and they play a part in our interpretation of the world. The 6th sense is feeling, the 7th is mind/consciousness I have heard that many easterner's already consider the mind another sense, although I am not certain. ELECTROMAGNETIC Sight -detected through light receptors in your eyes. -most people have 3 types of cone and rods. Some people have 1 or 2 types of cone (colour blind people) and some have 4 types of cone (possible new variants of human being). -The eye also contains many computing neurons that send information to the brain about colour, brightness, and the borders present in the scene. Emotion -detected in solar plexus (celiac plexus), located in the upper abdomen. -A complex network of nerves where people "feel emotions" -Rich in ganglia and interconnected neurons, the solar plexus is the largest autonomic nerve center in the abdominal cavity -Mostly developes during puberty. Mind/conscious -detected in the pineal gland (sometimes referred to as "the 3rd eye" by some spiritualists, pineal body, epiphysis cerebri and epiphysis by neuroscientist) At the center and connecting the two hemispheres of the brain. -Produces melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) which also exhibits a circadian rhythm. -Responsible for the homosapien's sense of self awareness. PHYSICAL VIBRATION Sound -detected through tiiny hairs in your inner ear. -there are many hairs, different sizes detecting different frequencies. Touch -detected through your skin. There are a range of different types of nerves detecting temperature changes, torn flesh, high, and low frequency pressure, and more! CHEMICAL Taste - salty, sour, bitter, sweet, and umami. They correspond to sodium, acid, complex(many biologically active chemicals like poisons and antioxidants), sugar, and amino acid (protein). There may be more tastes that we have not identified receptors for. Eg metallic tastes? -tastes are detected through chemical receptors on the tongue. Smell - although the human is not as sensitive as a dog, we still have many different chemical detectors in the nose and can detect thousands of different scent signatures. -smell is slightly different to taste in that the nerves of the olfactory system enter directly into the main brain rather than going through central processing like the rest of our senses.

Anyway another point Vmarco, you keep saying six senses yet are aware of 7, you already said it. Yet not before I.

Marble, I value your insight, but "we Taoist" is an oxymoron. (imo)

Yes the original cavity of the spirit is said to be at that location. But you can't physically "touch" it, so what do you mean? It is referencing the Pineal Gland.

http://www.justin.tv/fam_nature#/w/2580454896/30 I don't know how many others enjoy to watch nature in a natural environment, but I find it peaceful. I though I would share a channel on Justin.tv that I enjoy in this regard.

The other day they were playing a series called "Nature's Greatest Events" or something like that. They were showing dolphins "herding" schools of sardines to the surface, where the are sharks, birds, and even whales awaited them. It ended as a giant whale ate all the sardines and the event was over, lol!

I would personally say that it means you are not enlightened. Just my opinion tho.

HAha, what else to do but keep on keeping on? Good one!

I forgot about this thread. The inverter was reading 95 watts in the winter with both of the solar panels , so considering distance from the sun and inverter efficiency, I'm guessing I can get to 120 in the summer from them. I am happy I bought a couple and plan to get some more when it warms up. I hooked them up to this hydrogen cell and was producing a lot of gas Hydrogen x2 + oxygen. I plan on mounting these solar panels on the jeep to produce gas for the jeep to use in the intake. I also plan to get a battery and combined the stored power that accumulates while the engine is off, to expel it with the solar panels while the engine is on ^.^ You can see the water is turning into bleach due to the electrolytes (baking soda in this case) and the copper catalyst (pennies) increasing the PH. My main focus is currently on developing an albino Shiitake strain, Which I am going to start with the spores from this mutant that was grown in the dark.

I would travel to the age of 21st century hermit. "Off the grid living" I have only heard of pine needles being brewed into a tea. To extract sap requires the tree I think.
