The Dao that can be named is not the Dao. --- The Buddha is not the Buddha, therefore, he is called Buddha.

Sometimes, people simply don't hear... or they choose to pretend they didn't because they felt awkward. The mirth you felt alone has probably been felt by everyone. You're right it is all about timing.

I think that may be what "God" is in Stranger in a Strange Land, but Heinlein isn't specific about it in that novel... in the version I've read. Completely off-topic, now.

All that groks is God?

Good points.

How do you use your Heartmind to open up your third eye?
tragblack replied to tulku's topic in General Discussion
Would you go in depth with this for me, please? -
Nice, thank you.

There have been times when I make myself sit on my butt and really concentrate on the orbit. I can barely feel it at first, but as I meditate, it starts to become a heavy, hard-to-ignore flow-- an orbit, a circulation. I feel it going around and around... I don't concentrate on much but just following the feeling around. I start just sitting and wait to feel that kind of flow. I mentally follow the trail of the orbit until I catch up with the qi, then it becomes stronger and a bit blissful.

And here I was, trying to deconstruct and reconstruct at the same time... like trying to build the new building with the moldy rubble of the first just because I don't want to waste it.

Some of my dreams must have affected me, but maybe more subconsciously. Inversely, my dreams reflect more of my waking fears now. Major themes I'm noticing are regret and procrastination. Usually, emotional dreams affect me for just a few hours after dreaming. Thankfully, I have never been prone to bad or frequent nightmares. Edit** Sometimes, I think my dreams are trying to teach me to dream lucidly. The repetetive nature of them and the fact that most of my dreams occur in the same settings has started inducing some interesting dream thoughts bordering on fully becoming aware. I'm... so... close...

Existentialism! Is not a five syllable Word. And "word" isn't.

Does the reincarnated Lao Tzu or Lord Buddha need an energy transmission?

I mean, I guess you could use discernment... or just take the knowledge and hope it contains something. -

All the answers that could be offered would be based on opinion. How could you define the truth out of different versions of answers? -

Seems to me like a question that no one could answer with certainty. -
Gimme' some Evil. Shred open some Hostess snacks. Ram them in my mouth.

Has Anyone Seen "Ancient Aliens." On History Channel?
tragblack replied to DalTheJigsaw123's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, my family and I are some of those people. The only odd thing about what we saw (other than the actual unidentified things) was that the sightings we had were all within a couple of weeks of each other and in the same places with similar characteristics. I felt the same way. I could have gotten video, but it wouldn't prove or explain anything. As for all of these alien and 2012 shows on History Channel, it is really bugging me. I can't really pinpoint why... maybe it's a couple of reasons. One of those reasons is that I wonder why the media is spending so much time on the hype, considering all the other out there conspiracies that could be latched onto. It makes me feel that if some entity, like a government or terrorists or some other organization wanted to, they could use the hype as an excuse to cause mass panic on some scale, to guide toward some new idea or legislation (world government, etc). Another reason is the possibility that the media is trying to prepare our subconscious to accept some crazy things that might happen, which could turn out entirely orchestrated or devastating. It reminds me of how, just a few days before swine flu broke out, History Channel was concentrating on plagues and outbreaks in a series of shows. -
Is the only reason not to commit suicide - Fear-based, shame-based, or guilt-based?

I don't know if everyone consciously knows what they came here to do before they die "naturally." -
I love me some Bjork.

Interesting. Immature, but kind of brave.

How would the phrase "unimportant Daoist" strike you?
