  1. How Now Dao Cow?

  2. Pre-Heaven Qi, lost forever?

    Truth: I don't know. Idealization: Pre-Heaven Qi is kind of like a blueprint; or in relation to Post-Heaven, the underlying code tha operates the game. That being said, i don't see as to why not. Pre-Heaven is like a picture of perfect harmonious interaction, or in my mind, a fluid and moving and active perfect harmonious interaction; whereas post-heaven is a product of allowing the rules to be broken and subsequently pursuing (but not always achieving) return to pre-heaven. Prognosis: Pursue Pre-Heaven by not pursuing; do by not doing. Accomplish by never initiating; succeed by only responding in kind.

    no, i see it now... and for the record, (and this is a GOOD thing) it redirects from tao to dao i still type in thetaobums and it works just fine (probably uses search engines though, huh?)

    "cel-less-chul" sounds illiterate. "Cel-es-tea-al" sounds elegant. I'm going to go right on doing the elegant thing, no offense. the weaver to come the web of reality The Spider is God
  11. Taoist Parallels

    Video Games are the closest artificial medium to reality itself that humans can reach. They are genuinely important in this regard. but in spite of this, they are also highly addictive wastes of time

    I dont think she ever liked me posting in her threads, but i was never uncomfortable about it
  18. Black Holes

    This is the crux of my point: The vessel determines the extent of expressiveness, but not the capacity of choice. We simply cannot comprehend some of the decisions available to a rock, because WE are not rocks. to aide you in this concept, consider the free will of your bodyparts. your bones are closer to rocks. try starting there. So black holes are just the universe doing meditation.
  19. Not knowing who you are, or what you want...

    Ups and downs, my friend... I have some of the worst of them around TTB but i try to keep the downs in check... ~ Take care! ~
  20. Black Holes

    Go make tea. Stir it up vigorously after dunking the tea bag(s) a few times to create bubbles. Watch what the bubbles do.
  21. Black Holes

    We must first reconcile our perspectives of free will. You assume that anything in existence can be in a state of "unable to have" free will. I Assume that if free will exists at all, it is in and of all things (persons and places too). So your perspective of difference is a perspective of free will capacity... and we disagree
  22. Black Holes

    what's the difference?
  23. Black Holes

    black holes are an illusion. They are akin to bubbles on teh surface of my tea: the light bends around them and gives the illusion that the bubble is pulling the light inward to an inevitable demise. They're just celestial bubbles playing tricks on science.

    I'm more interested in learning her deffinitions than i am in "dealing with her" on the forum... "dealing with her" denies her any validation of her perspective, and no one can invalidate another perspective without first comprehending the perspective... But no one comprehends DeciBelle's perspective - and at this rate, no one is going to get a chance to learn it.
