  2. Anyone tried living on just brown rice?

    Hold on... let's look at the key substance here, the primary ingredient... Protien? or just something material for the stomach to grind on? In any case, i think the idea could work on a wide array of grains, oats, herbs, and other roughage. A single bite of the right kind of plant and the chi cultivation practices might be enough to last a long while on, otherwise, nothing. 'cept water. water seems like a good idea
  3. Kunlun:4 Years later

    "take everything..." you hear and read "with but a grain of salt." and your perceptions of truth become clearer. "actions speak louder than words" Simple truths, profound implications. In all things, practice takes paitence. In medicine, practice takes patients...

  5. Taoism & Anarchism

    Alas, the only means I can figure to show 'them' is by an example which will more likely get us arrested and entered into unrealistic statistics than show anyone anything... So... where do we stand? Where do we then walk? If we can show anyone anything, it will only be seen or heard when presented through examples.... What examples wont get us arrested? Preaching is empty speech...

  7. Boundless lesson

    Tao is only as clear as the mind; the definitions of the tao are clear only in the mind before the intellect tries to define it. Tao is plain, complex, simple, complicated. Tao is, Tao is not. Why waste words? Just be. Being, in perfect isness, reaches greater clarity than... everything we're doing right now, everything on this site, everything we can say or think to say, everything we've done, everything we plan to do. Being, in perfect isness, is simply Human: Another waste of words.
  8. I saw a young couple and an old couple on the streets.

    Once upon a time, 6 hours ago... Nah, we still need it. Or even "a long long time ago, in a galaxy far away... well, 6 hours ago down the street anyway" It's good presentation!
  9. DNA Evidence Rocks the Boat

    Not really... If the 5 races have unique and distinguishing features, it is safe to say that those features are the catagorical distinguishment for that particular race. Same as a polar bear versus a grizzly bear.
  10. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    Me. I made me laugh today. My mood is amusing me, and the reprecautions of this mood are only fueling it, and the amusement. It's a destructive cycle of creative proportions, with a chance of DOOM. Boogity boogity boo, Mal took off his shoe! Boogity boogity bee, he used it to go pee! Boogity boogity boo, Mal also has to poo D:... Boogity boogity bee, NO, MAL! STOP TRYING TO POO ON ME! ^Also, i can type invisible, you should highlight my posts every once in a while, i hide things sometimes, like when im in these moods.^
  11. Taoism & Anarchism

    I was not, nor would I ever, suggest that there were any rational arguments of the like! Merely, i was saying that the rich get richer. WE understand the subject at hand, but the powers that be.... well they might but they favor a different hue of green... D: (read as: )
  12. Freeing ourselves from Tao

    More sattire, irony, and unrelated amusing responses. Less literal interpretation of random explosive diahreah of the mind. Also, the green smoke gives you munchies, just FYI, that was a reference that shouldnt be, or should it? I am in a strangely funny mood, pardon my (insert witty intellectual vocabulary word here) mood.

    You forgot to start it with 'once upon a time'
  14. DNA Evidence Rocks the Boat

    I must apologize for implying it took mental retardation to miss the point, but i was a bit aback from that... It's not ractist to catagorize the human genepool, but to restrict certain catagories from basic humanity or human rights. This is nothing in relation to racism. Discrimination, maybe, but not by racist proportions. To categorize the human genepool simply relies on basic characteristics. The shape of bone structure, commonlky shared features, like nose size and shape, hair color, eye color, and skin color, and the microscopic DNA. These are what categorize human beings. YES, they can be integrated and shared! This is as anti racist as it gets! Nature isnt racist, per se, but DOES have a way of preserving the original lineages. If Humans did not have "catagorical race", we wouldnt have any distinguishing features as eye shape, nose size, skin color, or immunities. Find anyone who is by no means related to any human beings of the orient who has "oriental eyes". Find someone who has absolutely no ancestory of black persons, who is born black. Or red, or yellow, or white, or brown. We ARE distinguished by, for lack of a better term, race. No different than desert versus mountain mantis. No different than polar or grizzly bear. No different than any species of cat, from leopard to cheetah, lion to housecat. Nature, man. It's not racist, just diverse. Diversity and categorization are not racist, but inhibiting one particular characteristic, weather politically or personally, is. Prejudice is to judge before knowing. Distinguishing the diverse human characteristics is almost a necessary ("evil") practice to eliminate prejudice. Almost.
  15. Taoism & Anarchism

    Seriously though, there are too many "private interests" and corporate gains to be had from prohibiting it to leave a hairwidth's space to entice profiteers to back it up. Pharmicuticals gain more money by keeping people sick and dependant; cannabis cures more than alleviates, and alleviates enough to cure. BIG Oil makes more money by demand than by supply; Cannabis is an infinite supply. Timber is in cahoots with too many oil companies to stray into greener pastures. Cotton is too selfish to splice with hemp. Hemp is rough and scratchy, but durable, while cotton is soft and softer, but weak. More profits from the wear and tear of clothes than from the durable and life long everlasting hemp. Paper is in contract with timber, timber in contract with oil, oil is still the leader of the bunch. and let's face it, farmers are controlled by big government, who is/are in with the afformentioned special interest groups, so that's something that is still a long ways off. Frankly, Cannabis puts power to the people, and we cant have that if we're going to keep them dependant on consumerism. Who profits from eliminating the afformentioned special interest groups? Oh, no one special, just WE THE PEOPLE.

    Dream, so horses arent scared uses six syllables though Can i go with 6? Can i go with 6? Maybe I should start anew? Or go back a post? Or go back a post... Paradoxical choices... Which one should I choose?
  17. Freeing ourselves from Tao

    Red pill or blue pill? I took a green pill once, and it wasnt a pill but a smoke, and then i fell asleep, but then i woke up and kept going, or was i awake? i cant remember. The tao can only be exemplified, and yet there is nothign that does not exemplify (the) tao, not even nothingness itself! So wait, where's my free whopper w/ cheese?

    Namaste! *Nods*
  19. Qi is not our target

    "you get what you put into it." "mind over matter" Truly, the mind is the first thing that has to go. Get rid of mind, and the matter soon disolves. If the mind is an obsticle, then what can you even begin to put into it? Even the smallest material obsticle becomes impassible when the mind is not strong enough to muster the will power! Why even discuss something so obvious; How can it be that such an idea isnt the first thing to be seen?
  20. Taoism & Anarchism

    Hope is an action, not a desire. Put your cannabis where your mouth is! Alas, legislature is far too enroached with politics (read as: back stabbing manipulative selfish profiteers) to leave room for a realistic or scientific approach to Hemp. :'( But with time, effort, and most importantly, organized numbers, People CAN make a difference. Let's work toegether for a better future, mmh?
  21. It seems to be escalating... can you ban his whole IP range...? Or...?
  22. How to die, while remaining alive

    Reminds me of: One thing begets two Twothings beget three Three begets all things (While all things are but one thing) Poorly paraphrased quote there, but i think it elaborates the cycle of reality, which is neither ceasing nor is it as incretmental as the discription might imply, but fluid and constant, in all stages simultaniously; and yet elaborations fail to deliver well the idea!
