or maybe not even a "thing" thing Let's go outside and do handstand horse stance

That, right there, is pure awesomeness.

well i never REALLY expected any sort of "anarch brotherhood" outside of "just do it - or dont"... in many ways organization and anarchy are far too contradictive to conjoin, however, in so many ways, so too are yin and yang... revisiting my original suggestion "what better place than TTB?" But, those who already have it, congrats. All I would be suggesting is joining forces, so to speak, in order to share the wealth, as it were; more specifically, teaching others how to make it "there" and keep that freedom, as well as teaching each other how to manage successfully sharing either the freedom or the "how-to"... though everyone's anarchy is surely going to be unique and as diverse as the people themselves, but in all hopes, i would like to see us working together to expand the freedom and preserve it. If this isnt a good way of doing it, a meager beginning in a taoist forum, then maybe y'all could offer otehr suggestions as to how this might better launch into the consciousness of many people?

Life and Tao are inseperable, where there is Tao, there is Life/vice versa. this body is only an avatar of what we/I call "my" life, but no life belongs to anyone or anything but to all, the Tao.

Special Fred?

I'm getting out alive but in a different form, perhaps.

Forgive me the tripple post bump, but i am wondering if this is too much to handle, if peopler are scared or afraid, or if it is so genuinely impossible to work, organize, support, sustain, or protect that no one would bother to "waste their time"? Nobody?

WELL...... If we go from a perspective that "all that is, has been, and will be again." and work from that to include that all spiritual/soul/metaphysical mind/??? aspects are eternal, as Tao, THEN... there is no originality ever, it's all here, at all times, in all forms, in all places... Relativity... SO... when i give that little speech of what i say comes from me, i DO mean to say that it is 'taken' from my perceptions, perspectives, observations, and learnings, but it is by my interpretations, not something necessarily given to me, or taken from someone/thing. We're all on borrowed existence, and lend to all... our own.

You know, the funny thing is I never read or studied Nietzsche and yet have had many people comment on how much i must know of his works. I never even knew, for the longest time, that "that which does not kill me makes me stronger" was attributed to him, but used it occasionally in my comments and arguments online. In face, in the T.A.O. thread, marbles comments all the same about my Nietzsche-like qualities, and yet it's all a matter of perspective and opinion that we share, not any research or reading on my part I can attribute my words only to myself unless i specifically quote otherwise... and sometimes, my thoughts can be easily quoted to other individuals... but more often than not, they are my own, from my observations, from my experiences, but rarely from research.

how do you carry wood and chop water? sorry Could that whole ordeal be paraphrased by a thought i had yesterday evening? "even during/after the pursuit of enlightenment, daily life must still be tended to"

Awesome. I'm hoping that this gains a lot of ground, popularity, and proper legislature to both promote and protect the effort to expand this across the nation! I can only imagine how great this would be if it takes off, this is exciting!

i miss the free time i once had, but value the school time i've gained, though at the expense of free time i would otherwise have had if i were living elsewhere. but i'm also maturing from the time i spend taking care of kids and chores (as rent) where i live. It's win some lose some, but gain more Lounge in the sun once, for me

badump da bump. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Just want to see how vmarco feels about dogs today....

awwww, lookit baby po! Lung Pow Funda. no wait.

Hmm... okay. so. Who is willing and ready to form a more official organization in the name of preserving and providing a working anarchy model? I'm not going to keep checking this page if no one is interested in working together here. We've got some ideas about, but do we have anything more concrete to offer? Would anyone like to take this further, and keep using this thread to update each other, or am i still looking at an airborne pie? edit: pardon the double post, but i am trying to get a little attention to try to move this idea into materialization and function.

know that the tao has no definite definition, know taht it is anything and everythign and nothing at all, at any given time. reflect on "isness" rather than "definition". defining things often distracts from the very isness of the thing itself. hence the tao is best left as "tao" than describing it Ironic, none the less, that we try to share the wonders of the tao with each otehr

Quantum science or anything related is irrelevant, with the only exception that "atheists" agree that there was no beginning and will be no ending... that "everything" always existed along side "nothing". THESE athiests can call themselves taoists

one thing that is seemingly contradictive, but it really isnt, is that the only permanent "thing" is the consistent state of impermanence. Iroincally enough, knowing and embracing the impermanent can lead to longer lasting (temporary, as all thigns are) permanence. The perception of permanent is a matter of time-observation. the earth is permanent in contrast to it's inhabitants, and the universe in contrast to the earth. But all things within the eternal never beginning and never ending tao are in constant fluccuation and impermanence.

everyone has the power to ruin leaders... we can use it, and it works all teh better in an organized anarchy. Never to imply there would not be any leaders, but their leadership would be limited to smaller zones of influence. "federal" level would be anarchy is the law; the law of free will. THE PEOPLE would have to take the responsibility to maintain a size restriction, taht no one group, organization, people, community, or culture could take territory beyond a reasonable amount for "global" anarchy to thrive. As i meantioned, if war was the desire, make large areas of perpetual war that people may consistently take and lose territory over a vast area with "enter at your own risk" warnings and such. As people who rule them/ourselves, and as people who are organized to maintain this self-governance, we can always look to each otehr for aide in fending off those assholes who want to take "it all" and govern us. We can jsut as easily do to them what they would to their opposition and hang them by the balls (or ovaries in such the event) till they die of exposure or whatever hits 'em first. Make example of the overzealous leaders, and make room for the responsible leaders. 4096 (64^2) small leaders vs 1 asshole leader

Livign simply can sometimes mean stop asking questions and let nature take its course

Anamatva knows but does not speak Well maybe he doesnt know he knows, but i know he's provided me with some info that i havent "reached" yet...
