'Kay. You're in your own isolated little world

(broken) We're born unresolved In a world unresolved, Sought: Resolution. (unbroken) With Christmas Salsa Comes Christmas bathroom fun run. Salsa's fun raiser. Edit: add 's to salsa

in other words... "fajin practicioners have no interest in being credible in the eyes of civilians and scientists" they are in their own little world apart from this shared existence i guess?

if we keep cultivation socialized, however, those truly dedicated to the practice benefit those truly dedicated to conceptualizing, philosophizing (wow is that a real word?), and discussing the ideas behind cultivation, who in turn benefit those who cultivate. Those who cultivate the practice gain all its first hand benefits. Those who discuss it, help the practitioners reflect on their practice and realize improvements. In the long run, the practitioners inspire the socializers who inspire the practitioners.

Settling is one thing. Minimal involvement is harmonious. We're a booming population, Earth's caretakers are slacking off and doing anything but their job, instead more intent on defying the description. One hundred generations may well enough be insufficient to see the effects of our "clearing anything for our use" as a whole. To be expected, honestly, that we would never see the effects of one hundred generations during... but after... why have we continued making the same mistakes? GRANTED "history is written by the victor" AND we have lost over 75% of our civil-world history records, HOWEVER... The core logic behind the civil-progress-agenda is inherently and blatantly flawed, presuming to occupy separate reality from the whole of the world itself... as if the careless pursuit of technological advancements will not cost the progress of billions of years of evolution! Those who demand progress the most, in the name of civilization and its advancements, are the most likely to harm it. Both progress and the populations that compose the "body" of "civilization" Harmony lends more to progress than mechanical/digital technology ever can, has, or will. WE are not mechanical, digital, technological animations. we are biological. Anything harmful of biological function is inherently and immediately harmful to us until we know proper ritual to give thanks and cherish the life we've extinguished. A single tree felled will negatively affect the whole world a million times deeper, a million times longer... than the most powerful technology can ever positively affect anything. Almost every creation story has a world tree big enough to cover Pangaea supercontinent with its branches... but civilization will never allow such a beautiful and beneficial life to be cultivated... Why? Because civilization seeks unnatural, artificial, violent-if-"necessary", no-questions-asked control over the entire whole sum total of reality. "they" think the world belongs to civilians, and that organizations of nationalized persons have authority over nature. That is a mind of a much lesser evolved being than Human. (possibly robot/computer) Edit: add ly in honestly Edit, edit: add "Both progress and the populations that compose the "body" of "civilization"" Edit, edit, edit: added "ever" to 'positively affect anything' redundant edits: Almost every creation > not > every story.

Oh, i get it. Its not moving your bones with your muscles through the world, but moving your world around your bones through your muscles..... I do that some times, but i havent done it with a partner before

i'm being deliberately broad and inclusive....

Let us cointegrate with reality, wholly. through our own story telling and our storylistening. Civilization is the omniversal lowest common denominator, capable of dividing all of reality; futile, vain, and yet so beautiful once you see through it. Don't sit around and wait for conflict and reality to come to you, just live out your life, free and true, use self defense when you need to; pursuit of purpose leads nowhere, you need not seek out anything at all... Why don't I listen to my own advice? ... Well, if I have to defend myself, my ["own"] advice will be self evident.

consider this: the oil we consume from barren terrain is condonable because there is little ecology to destroy in the process. The possibility that depleting oil reserves could impact the ecology is too real to ignore. regardless of the surface devistation, we do not know the long term impact of extracting oil from in the earth. We do not know how the earth uses its resources naturally, yet have the audacity to presume we know?! Civilization is apparently synonymous with ignorant stupidity. and yet the civilians would sooner embrace that than correct it?! and people wonder why i am always so indignant?

you're both wrong but thats what makes it so freaking entertaining pardon my like-lurk

this thread is making me laugh, but i cant post the link every dang day in the "what made you laugh today" thread... wish i could prove something and end the argument once and for all.... and exemplify a proper usage of that 1.5 mil...

laughing internally, in harmony with creation > laughing with friends in person > laughing with friends online > laughing alone > not laughing.

BUGGER ALL, HEAR HERE!

I think marriages are newer than the inherent relationships though

mindful but thoughtless: meditation.

How do you tell if a gay man is a comedian? Warning: vulgar and inappropriate:

i may be baseless, but i am not unaffected by the world i live in or the state of my present circumstances. If i knew how i could divorce my perceived-self from my circumstances and experiences, why would i fight so hard to change them?

well.... humans are still powerless to stop civilians from passing legislation that makes fictional personhood out of businesses legally fact. We're more screwed than we yet seem to know... and more content to drive the jagged rusty dildo deeper than to take it out and heal up... eeeuuuughhh nasty metaphor, but still not accurate enough...

~_~

Basically, civilians still think they were made by some god to own and control the universe... silly citizens. Edit: Humans have a sub species of lesser evolved intellect, i call them civilians/citizens.

Cats. no wait, that is siblings. Dogs. Edit: no wait, that is siblings also. err, I am thinking sex, not marriage, am't I?

That is great, you should watch Revolver, starring Jason Stratham... watched it just yesterday. It covers all of the basics of ego self versus pure self... The gist is... he hids behind your pain, he exists in each and every individual person's heads. The beautiful thing is if you try to kill him, to protect them, they will try to kill you, to protect him, because he's been with us all since the very beginning... teaching us to protect him with our pain. The greatest trick the devil ever can pull is convincing you that HE is you.

I'm sorry, my mind went straight to first person shooters!

that.... that memorial gave me goosebumps.... so bad... it must be true, my goosebumps have never steered me wrong or lied to me before.... But to take my word for it would go against anything i have ever tried to exemplify

well i dont know what fajin *is* but i know that when i practice personal cultivation techniques, it almsot always rains. I personally believe i contributed to a thunder storm in the mojave desert last summer, but i also have no way of confirming it for myself, let alone anyone else; i do not dedicate enough of my life to cultivation, as i am trying to balance many other "real life" elements as well, but to be honest... I think i need to dump a bunch of them and jsut strike out with nothing but a pack and a sleeping bag I'm unwilling to head off on my own yet.... conflict of interest... beat myself up over it every day haha so far i cant tell if im winning, or if im winning. But would weather manipulation count as evidence if there was a way to "prove" it was manipulated?
