Regardless of who said to do it, or *"WHY"* you did it, no one but YOU are to blame for the actions you willingly undertake. There is NO SUCH THING as "just doing my job" or "the devil made me do it". Those are nothing but sorry ass cop out, pitiful excuses for trying to shed personal responsibility for the actions you take. YOU did the deed, that is no one's fault but your own. -

Reasoning that true and genuine truth cannot be delivered by the physical senses alone, knowing the difference between God and the Devil are rendered little more than opinion based on other opinions. It is all hearsay until first hand experience allows for testimony. My first hand experience was delivered at 3 or 4 years old when my Grandfather Died of a Heart Attack and i saw him off. I witnessed his departure from the physical body, assisted by two bright and shining spirits who shone so bright it wasblinding except for the fact that none of the light escaped their bodies or illuminated anything around them. I was born taught that everyoen KNOWS the TRUTH between right and wrong in their HEARTS. I tend to look there for answers, and find more confirmation than contest later on to support the heart. As a HUMAN BEING, I can never know true God or true Devil until i transcend my Human Body and become spiritual incarnate. But i do not suspect my words will change widely then either; to know truly is to experience first hand. You can never cast a stone that has never struck you! You cannot call evil that you do not KNOW evil; you cannot distinguish that which you have not contributed and/or experienced directly. You cannot be a victim and know a criminal; ONLY another victim! You cannot be a criminal and know a victim! Only another criminal! You cannot be only good and know anything about evil. So how can you judge what you have not been? ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ edited: The right way to judge is to limit your judgments to the things you yourself have done and do so withotu comparing to other things that you have done or that the otehr person has or has not done... -

everyone always has a reason for doing as they do, no matter how much of their past it took to create that reason, no matter how much flawed thinking and remembering went into their reason, no matter how much outside manipulation and deception goes into it, EVERY deed, good, bad, beautiful, and ugly, has a reason. God or Devil, Angel or Demon, Good or Evil, Right or Wrong, these re opinions and cannot place true weight on the actions of another person, no matter how (mis)understood. -

Sacred Geometry huh? -
"The speed of light" is a fallacy. I used to have better info, but i lost that article, and memory doesnt serve right but i understand light is more of an event horizon? Wishi i could find that artcle again,...

an empire is judged via unfair duality: They judge themselves and base their successes on their accubulations: Wealth, land, population, property, etc. And we, the people, judge them based on their ability to serve our needs. The empire score of an empire is almost always "good" while the people score of an empire is almost always "bad". Truth might be somewhere in between...

How many Taoists are out there in the TTB....?
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to ChiDragon's topic in Daoist Discussion
One could accurately posit that i began practicing Wu Wei at age 10 or 11, shortly after my concussion and hearing loss, however it was never an intentional practice until after i encountered relatd and/or relating information on the internet years later. I wouldnt personally tell you that i begin practice until i was 16 to be honest, because everything i did well enough without the educated basis was done, perhaps, for the wrong reasons. Anger, frustration, confusion, and discomfort were the reasons for my earliest successes with Wu Wei and letting go of things icould not control. No matter how desperately i wanted to, i knew in my heart that it wasnt the correct path. But it was not until about 3-6 years after these times that i learned what i had learned from personal experience was stuff of legends and sage lore. So i searched teh internet for all i could, learned the principals of many traditions, and even some times the names of those traditions and/or practices. Fact of the matter is i hadn't attributed a name to the practice of Wu Wei until last year in the library where i read about it in a Taijiquan book! So if thename comes before the practice, i havent practiced wu wei at all until last summer! Now i sit around online researching the various topics, practices, forms, and traditions, and have been doing so for the most of the past 13 years. Everything is in flucuation, impermanence. We all have good days and bad days, wu wei isnt going to cure that! But letting go of the bad days is a great way to enjoy the good ones! -
Recep: (snip) ... "until now all the Spirits I have seen (either with physical body or astral body) have unique personalities." One, this implies long life lived by you. makes you sound over 80. Two, why WOULDNT spirits have unique personalities? What significanceis there to you noting otherwise? AND what about the Guardian Angles i grew up being told about and praying to? does that make 3 angels?

Know thy audience lol -
I think GrandmasterP had it... mostly... i think the Soul and Body are bound, and that we are neither, but pure spirit. Spirit is the formless form, a bodiless body. Spirit is the awareness, the observer that we truly are. The soul is the emotional and intuitive body. The physical shell of meat and organ is our physical body, it is our logical body. Emotion is meaningless without the 5 senses of the physical. Intuition is irrational without Logic. But these things are not soulible within one another, they will never fully integrate beyond what we have now: the spirit, body, soul trio... However, "never" is relative to our pursuits in life

Hmm... well let's see... "Bad words" are in my mind an opinion. I try to respect other people's opinions but never enforce mine upon them. SO.... swearing, i will respect my elders and the parents of little kids and not swear around them unless i have confirmed they personally dont give a shit. I try to be both eloquent and vulgar at the same time.... err, actually i jsut dotn care, there's no "try" lol. but i do value intelligent discourse, that jsut doesnt mean im gonna throw out some of the fun catch phrases like "holy shit" and "what the fuck" lol Should probably stop asking god to damn things though... -

fuck... i dont know about language being a problem. I've been swearing like a sailor since i was in third grade and havent stopped except to catch my breath. I'll be polite mind you, i try to curb the vulgar words around kids and my elders, but if grandpa old fart cracks wise about "fuckin' nice tits", you'c'n bet i'll back him up with laughter. I'vestopped worrying about "cuss words" since i've never seen any harm come from them except in retaliation to them. THAT'S no excuse to quit fucking swearing!
