  1. Healing others

    yeah, absolutely. that's how i feel, however there is that part that i want to "leave an anonymous gift" as it were... Not that i can force it on them, nor would i attempt to do so in any case, but it's that desire to be able to help them. I do what i can in auxilliary, taking care of the chores and kids as much as i can (while still trying to find time to work on schoolwork and get sleep) but it's also distracting from my personal practices, and i have very little time to even do as little as breathing exercises when i am so distracted by the stress and calamity of daily life around here/there. In any case, you're right, and all i can do is what they ask me to do.
  2. Exploring the Now

    well tomato potahto potato tomahto. Old, lazy, contented, not much wiggle room there
  3. Exploring the Now

    you're just lazy
  4. Squatting

    I'll get to it as i come to it or it comes to me or we come together... wait, that sounds sick.
  5. Exploring the Now

    an example of why, even if not how, we should take the good advice and then discard it. In some ways it can be called zen, i forget the buddhist word for the practice, but i dont think there's an american equivelant
  6. Squatting

    what's that one called, constipation stance?
  7. Exploring the Now

    We will understand eventually. It's a fun and wild ride though! Understandable why so many dont want to get out, even after they realize that it's just a ride!
  8. Are you profitable?

    My value is equal to the quality of life that i am able to improve over time. I'll give you a figure after im dead.
  9. Squatting

    Horse stance is a wide squat of sorts. Sinfest can do it but so can i, so sinfest is irrelevant to this example.
  10. Enlightenment and Immortality

    look out you're becoming a buddhist! The grand delusion and/or buddhism are irelevant; we are all delusional. our perceptions are nothing more than delusion generators. Our true delusional state is defined not by our delusions themselves, but weather or not we can acknowledge them and accept that we are, in fact, delusional. Then the path forward becomes yet clearer and our understanding of immortality with it.

  12. All Screaming Id, No Brains, No Honor

  13. All Screaming Id, No Brains, No Honor

    Pity american horse stance is just a sex position though...
  14. the cup i choose to fill nearly has no bottom... HHHMMMMMmm....

  15. Have you ever...

    yes. If the world were to instantaniously implode, then explode, and rocket it's whole mass into the core of the sun. Everything would be fine, and life would go on as if nothing out of the ordanary were happening. Well, though it would definitely change OUR lives quite drastically...! no biggie
  16. All Screaming Id, No Brains, No Honor

    lol i have to ask now. i looked through the threadm but i cant find where you got that quote, joe!
  17. All Screaming Id, No Brains, No Honor

    children, children, please. Yeah, on one hand, scotty didnt have to haul off on you about your post, but on the other hand, you didnt have to dignify his remarks with any sort of response. Now that you're both pointing at each other, how many fingers are pointing back?

  19. All Screaming Id, No Brains, No Honor

    I'd like to point out that in the event of a genuine and obvious threat, americans do have a tremendous capacity for anarchic organization and brotherhood, but it will take a blatant militaristic occupation of our homes before the right to bear arms shows face value. That's teh primary thing that the majority of individuals here share in and will share in. It's like an unconscious/subconscious nation in it's own, but it cannot be allowed to become widely organized, which is why the government will forever skeet across the fine line between blatant theft of our country, values, rights, and lives, and subterfuge. It's not that they arent doing it so much as it's that there is nothing the common american can do to either a) see it or prove it. Aaaand in the event of proof, there comes the army of lawyers at teh beck and call of the theives themselves. Long story short, we're on the losing team. We lack some of the most crucial organizational resources, like genuine hard core concrete facts and an obvious enemy. Our enemy is currently more each other than one face or group. And not because we are against each other, but because the faceless government is jsut that: faceless. Anonymous government is epic fail. Americans jsut dont know how to get away from it without losing their "precious consumerism". a logical blockade put in place by our very jailors. WE CANT HAVE CONSUMERISM. if we want to be free and independent, we cant depend on people to give us our trinkets and cheesy crackers. In the end of it all, even if we could overcome a great and obvious threat to our values, we still value the shiny madonna laden superbowl more than we value our own health. P.S. i use "our" in only the loosest of terms to convey "americans" as a general "us". I'd prefer not to include myself in this general public, but let's face it, i was born here, i've lived here all my life, and even if i can see the flaws, there is still nothing i can do about it alone.
  20. The Canadian Thread

    *nod of approval* That'll do it, that'll do it. Good on them, getting it down to 16 will be a tough task though!
  21. Be well guys

    It's a true shame, but perhaps inevitable anyways. Hopefully all will come full circle in time
  22. Haiku Chain

    War without end Foolish, violent, anarchy. Pointless endeavor.
  23. The Canadian Thread

    So harmonious, how is british columbia? Or the Yukon? Those strike me as the first places to go. eh? they're west coast end and all, and one is near Alaska, my ideal place in the usa is the only real competition.
  24. TTB weekly trancendental meditation experiment

    Zen it's fucking boring, except when it's not. So it's an off-and-on kind of thing for me. Sometimes i already do this. other times i jsut chill myself. I'll put in some added effort to aide everyone in it
