  1. Mod Out

    Need a replacement for 'im? I dont got much going on in my life, i spent a lot of time on TTB, and i'd feel like i was ACTUALLY contributing something to the community instead! LOL Aaah, it's an idea...
  2. IS Martial arts still Martial arts

    A very similar, almost same experience i had with my first and only "formal" class. The instructor didnt want anyone genuinely getting hurt since he was operating out of a membership gym for non-members... so he focused more on the drills than sparring, and when it came to sparring we might as well have jsut stared each other down, since no takedowns, grabs, throws, or headshots were allowed... On the plus side, i learned a valuable lesson: I dont have a worth-a-damn defense around my testicles! D:
  3. Treating everyone as a Buddha

    i would not ever ask to be referred to as or treated "like a buddha" because i dont imagine i'd want anyone to treat me any differently if i were myself, a buddha.
  4. Treating everyone as a Buddha

    except when i do it
  5. Christian Mingle vs TTB :D

    so i am sitting all alone in chat, twiddling my thumbs, and whistling an off-key tuneless whistle... And the TV goes on and on about christian singles, and i think, out of knee jerking, what about taoist singles HUH? Then i turned back to see the forum and all the taoists and... Who's single? LOL Yeah, im actually thinking this belongs in off topic. Or the pit.
  6. Christian Mingle vs TTB :D

    HAW, it told me i should be in the portland area on eharmony once lol but i only used it for liek a week and figured that it wasnt going to be worth the effort if i didnt have a consistent web access.... Luckily i am living in Oregon again, so that is good
  7. Treating everyone as a Buddha

    Do not concern yourself with expressing praise or contempt; do not concern yourself with feeling honor toward others or expecting feelings of honor from others. Instead, treat all others as life, alive, persons, and with the potential; the potential to become as buddhas/gods/great beings..... in each and every one of us, man, beast, or material.
  8. IS Martial arts still Martial arts

    if i could be a live-in martial arts student... GOD IF ONLY... o_o
  9. what about the constant speed of light cubed? errhh, nevermnd that, i'm thinking about how planets might be comparable to chakras, at least enough so to ask via new forum topic. So I've gotten the idea stuck in my head for 2 decades now, That there are micro-representations of *same thing* and macro-representations of *same thing* and I would sooner compare chakras to galaxies or entire galaxy clusters perhaps... What I "see" is like an old stereoscopic magic eye picture, but with an added dimension of time; that as you relax your eyes, the picture unfolds deeper, the further you relax your eyes... As though it is a solid mass surrounding you/me parting only where we exist, only enough for us to squeeze through reality, but not like a bubble trapped under the water... Like the fractal that no matter where you look at it, you see it all on every edge corner and point all the same, yet different at every angle, time, perspective, and moment; still alike! If the world of physics is going to become, act, simulate or even emulate the world of spirit, it's going to have to take a dive off the deep end... Planets... Beings. Bodies. Planets HAVE chakras... and mind/soul/spirit/body.... Just as do viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Just as do humans. You go ahead and name it, but keep in mind that all things are made up of all things; the measure of all things can be found by measuring any individual thing to its fullest.
  10. Infinite Fractal Tangent; Sacred Geometry; E=M*C^2

    almost there... just a few steps more... There exists nothing if not sentient... Try reasoning with your virus, even offer them to stay so long as they keep the palce tidy and dont conjure the urge to regurgitate your meals The fastest way to cure the common cold is to allow it to run its course uninhibited. Good thing food doesnt inhibit the cold's course, or chicken soup would be devistating!
  11. meditation - not contriving the breath

    yeah... sometimes in "dumbing it down" to make it easier for *some* others to grasp, you wind up throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
  12. Soma - Plants and the Divine

    never done anything but tobacco, alcohol, and pot, but i've had "seasoned" LSD trippers who had done something they called "thumbprinting" or something like that... involved large doses of LSD... i've had them ask me when my first time was or how old i was when i did it, and i couldnt help but laugh... Maybe it does take some people LSD to open their eyes, but it sure shocked them out of their selves when they found out i have NEVER done any hallucinatives.
  13. Spiders

    wow why not just call it vaginarchy or something even more vulgar? I'll stick with matriarchy. Matriarch sounds dignified. Gynarch sounds... pornographic.

    advertising your efforts to ignore (someone) doesnt defeat the purpose? OR "rub it in"? just curious...
  15. David Icke. What do you think?

  16. Christian Mingle vs TTB :D

    R.I.P. Marblehead. He was... Too old to mingle... Because the dead dont mingle. C'mon dont be a dead old fart! Be an obnoxious and obstinate old fart! ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ haha! The thread got moved to where it belongs.... i'd have put it here to begin with had i thought it out a little more BEFORE posting but que serra serra i dont speak mexicanish. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Uhhh.... well i think the christians have us outnumbered for now huh? lol
  17. Infinite Fractal Tangent; Sacred Geometry; E=M*C^2

    well first, the first thing that came to mind was "do unto others..." But more to the point, why would you be surprised? Why would the existence of chakras present in beings, creatures, people, bacteria, etcetera be questionable? Think of it this way: The physical body needs an energy source, so we give it the energic body to fuel it and pilot it. Anything that has the capability of internally generated mobility would thusly require an energic body to operate its direction(s). Virus, bacteria, parasite, insect, animal, human.... why would chakras be unique to any one person/place/thing or type thereof? In order TO EXIST, one must be composed of ALL OF existence. Meaning we all share the prerequisites and means of interacting with the universe and being interacted with; the rock flung around the universe by gravity cannot orbit or fling without its chakras, its energic body that tells the physical body what is *happening* to it is required FOR anything TO happen to it. Rock, dirt, grass, flower, bush, tree, beings, creatures, people, bacteria, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera... We all have souls, chakras, spirits, bodies, minds, and awareness.
  18. meditation - not contriving the breath

    I like that, thanks! You bring up a very great point that, in spite of how obvious it is (at least it is to me now), pulling back on the toy car makes it zip forward real fast lol Just dont keep "reprogramming the subconscious" after you hear it "click-click-click-ing"
  19. Christian Mingle vs TTB :D
