  5. lobotomy via psychiatry!

    Ouch! Haven't heard of the book but my interest is piqued. Thanks.
  6. Watching The Birds

    In my opinion around here the weather has changed, from historical averages. We are getting greater and greater swings in temp. and precipitation. Today it is extremely windy an indication of change, (generally the stronger the wind the greater the change). This year March was colder than February!
  7. The Goal

    Are we not part of, or integral (part of the whole) dao? And therefore our actions or inaction, our flexible behavior a part of dao? When we make cherry* pie as well apple are they not an example of our flexible behavior and therefore part of dao? I maintain yes! We are natural, and our products are natural. Not all natural things are healthy or desirable to all parts of the whole. *My favorite pie is made with cherries, but apple is fine too.
  8. The Hidden Life of Trees

    Cryptomeria japonica or Sugi is widely grown in China as both an ornamental and for forest product(s). As the name implies it is a native of japan but as wickepedia states "Sugi has been cultivated in China so long that it is frequently thought to be native there". It can reach a height of 230 feet and 13 feet in diameter. The Japanese have employed the practice of coppicing Sugi for the harvest of timber for centuries.
  9. Hello Benevolent People

    Welcome!
  10. hi from thailand

    Welcome I hope you the best in your endeavor.
  11. Why shouldn't we meditate after eating?

    I have found that eating with intention, gratitude and awareness goes a long way... A friend is a priest has been his entire adult life 60 plus years. He silently prays over his meals, which are scant by anyone's standards. The exception is Sunday when he will enjoy the occasional donut or sweet. Returning on foot from the closest grocery store in inner city Washington D C (3 miles each way) he was robbed of his groceries and what little cash he had. He wasn't hurt and they didn't take his glasses two things he was very grateful for...
  12. you are not your body

    I'm not sure, but I think the total is greater than the parts
  13. Brain Science and Nature

    Most if not the great majority of us can recognize what inhuman and or cruelty are. Ignore or act that's the question? And of course its all to easy to ignore... They came for @@@@@ and I did nothing Shaming students over unpaid lunch bills is one example... Throwing away a prepared meal due to lack of parental payment is insanity in my opinion. We should be judged on how we treat the weakest, poorest among us!

  22. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    Humor has a tremendous place in this sordid world. ... If you can see things out of whack, then you can see how things can be in whack. Theodor Suess Geiss writer illustrator
  23. MURDERS IN US VERY CONCENTRATED

    How many people can one know? One hundred, one thousand, eleven hundred? Where is the tipping point between we and them? The problems begin when we find distinctions, which leads to separation or divisions. Getting into my car / truck I become a different person, almost always not as nice a person. Getting in a large crowd affects my behavior again usually not in a positive way.
  24. Shucks, I always thought it was a two step, the hokey-pokey.
  25. Ideological Media Bias

    Brian, one more left and your back where you started.
