i think those forces are electromagnetic spheres. we need smaller yet stronger spheres. Surrounding our cities. and gardens.

what? Instant asshole: Just add autnentic mastery?

i was speaking strictly in terms of manifestation of the so called "supernatural" type. For example, i can make an idea become a reality, but i cant get the credit or royalties for my idea if i dont do it myself the long way. OR i can make it rain. Rain is win/win. A good story out of my own head is only win if im telling it Not that i havent been SEEING it plastered in and out of everything anyways, so therein lies the art of giving up what you desire. Also, food. I try to focus on food, it's kind of neutral territory.

Two things are infinite in this universe. Energy and human stupidity. And im not sure about energy. Or what goes it? Einstien had some cool quotes attributed to him. I wonder how many ARE his?

Don't want. Do not want. It makes things happen; and when things happen, the fan blades get dirty and need to be cleaned. Try to not want. THEN when things happen, you might be surprised that it's even better. Plus it's self-cleaning for the fan. The fan is a pain to clean.

The world is but a wooly dream....

Science, God, Tao, History, they are all references, but not singularly absolute.

A New Challenger Approaches!!! ... Nah...

Its like a play on words, but with language as irrelevant. ok... universal truths: 1. all that is, has been, and will be again; the size, scope, span, duration, volume, and placement of infinity is in and of itself infinite. All that we experience past, present, and future are merely etchings on eternal space. A mere "moment" as the smallest infinitesimal measurement of time is composed of infinite "smallest infinitesimal measurements"; the smallest infinitesimal measurement of energy/matter is composed of infinite "smallest infinitesimal measurements" of matter/energy. ("Where" "It" "Exists" "Is" Relative "To" "Itself" as "Being" Existent and/or Nonexistent "in" "a" "temporary" "reference" "to" "Time" which can "seem" like an eternity and/or an infinitesimally small measurement of time depending on the perspective from within the infinite one might be observing "it".) 2. Free Will. 3. leeroy Jenkins wasn't here.

my literacy is healthy enough. But it's funny how you can tunnel through it by switching like that.

two halves plus two halves? equals two. wholes.

on a slightly related note that is almost a tangent, yet is not: All forms and styles and methods and etc. can come from a single shared seed: The desire for wisdom, longevity, and health. From there, all forms share ground, all styles converge... but never the less, that is not to say all are the same or offer the same benefits or results. Either way, there might be some strong similarities between empty force and the Yin-Yang Gong spoken of... sounds a little clunky though, yin-yang gong? Taijitugong? Taoanarchydo? heh im rambling now.... more than i already was that is.

This is not "nowadays" but consistent throughout the whole "season" of intelligence since the dawn of civilized Humankind. It is part of the secret behind these fascinating and potentially fantastic feats; there are no quick fixes or shortcuts, PHYSICALLY designed in such a way that success is essentially gaurenteed to require the right level of patience and ego moderation/control.

Soup earn at'ch'yall? I dunn getit.

... which is why we have many subjective methods of handling the objective; a means by which we can learn to accept the objective... it is often times more subjective than the scientific mind might hold rational, but if it gets the job done...... we don't all gotta be rocket scientists!

you're having fun with this. it comes into focus when the dualities are recognized and dealt with appropriately. Taoism isnt hinged on "life sucks" as much as it is on "get over it"

Cue new thread: Post cross dressing pics of yourself here. I'm nominating myself to opt out, but feel free. P.S. cant 'quick reply', gotta 'more post options'.

see? this is why I like going all out with 20 elements.... more complex, less confusing

Rodney can kick webcomics' butts. I'm just saying...

like pain, it is merely an aide to point the way through mistakes.

to see the world without desire is not a desire, nor is it a challenge, but as plain as the left hand, right foot, or maybe a boulder falling down a mountain. it is what it is, as all things are in their being. Why pick and choose of things the ego plays before your mind when you can just watch these things as though a movie and maintain your separate role?

Everything is nothing; nothing: everything. Within the whole sum of all things, there is an empty space of "nothing" between each "thing" that makes up the fabric of all things, and in the deep recess of a wholeness of "nothing", smaaaaaalllllll parts of the fabric of things drift about, seemingly aimlessly. in union with nothing, in union with everything. I speak nonsense; between the senseless notions are sensible things spoken.

Pain is the sneaky "pointer of the way". a players guide for the omniversal RPG called life, the spoiler that no one listens to, the commentary of the movie of your life, dealing little tidbits that, if ignored, are never noticed for what they truly are. Pain allows us to grow, become stronger, smarter, faster, wiser, but only if we understand that the enemy is not pain, but our self in the brain, the prefrontal/cerebral cortex delusion generator and ego. We could learn to accept pain and become immortal, or flee from it's frightening embrace and die trying. Some can run for 80 years, some for 120, while others flee with their life, literally, and die young. truly, to end pain is to embrace it, to accept it, and to observe it in it's entirety, its intensity... to allow it. fully as one might allow the embrace of a loved one.
