  4. Everything really is an accident You're throwing word 'spirit' around with no rhyme or reason
  5. Like a salesman, you're thinking of a new food that you could sell to the whole world. You see that they don't want to eat it and so you keep changing it until it somehow fits everyone. Gurus are not like that, they are not salesmen who try to teach everyone, they are like trees growing in a wilderness and their fruit it there for these who want to eat it. It doesn't matter to them that some people don't want to eat it, they just stay in place and offer it to these who walk by. You want to chase people down and give them what you think they need, but many people don't need it and that's fine. Spirituality is not a thing you give to someone, it's something that grows inside once you find it. You don't need to influence anyone to find it, they are capable of finding it themselves. There is a simple riddle that teaches how to. Imagine in front of you a bottle with an egg somehow inside it, you want to get the egg outside the bottle without breaking the bottle or damaging the egg. You could sit there thinking of ways on how to melt the glass, cutting with a laser at just the right spot, or inventing a teleportation device. Sitting in front of the bottle thinking about how awful it is that the egg is not out of it, how much better it would be for the egg to be outside. You have so many ideas on how to get it out and make everything better. You could try to use your devices to free the egg but you might damage it so that might not worth it. There is an easy answer if you just wait. If you keep the egg safe from your lasers, one day a small chick will hatch out of it. And one day, if you keep it safe and strong, it will use its beak to break the glass the same way it used it to break the shell. Nurturing is better then fighting like a knight. You got the right idea but not execution, they need to notice the shell and look for a way out. The best way I think is showing that you are outside. http://youtu.be/h0DE0d3s5u0?t=4m59s

  11. Wu wei from a qi perspective

    Qi follows the course of less resistance Hence the epic wu wei and qi connection I could find a better quote explaining it but you should read a book about it, they call it Tao Te Ching I can't stop talking this way HOW DO I TURN IT OFF

    Sword and Crown are worthless here. I invite everyone to dance. Laborers, Lawyers, Church, and Gown, All make thair little prance. Men and Women, Young and Old, reject my prophet hand. I don't implore them, nor ignore them. I firmly take my stand. This life is full of random death. And heaps of greif and shame. So few are soothed by "accident", You wnat someone to blame. Fire, Plague, or Strange Disease, Drowned, Murdered, or, if you please, A long fall down the basement stairs. None are expected, No one cares. I know the steps very well, All must learn my little dance. Families may die and loved ones cry, but no one is left to chance. I often must work very hard, sweat running down my skin. After the dance, I then must rest, and the eating can begin.
  14. I Sold My Soul to Satan - Video

    Reminds me of ye old Russian fairy tale There was a young man who helped an old wise woman and in return she told him that if he follows that road, he will find treasure on the other end So he went down the road he was on and crossed a river, on the bank of that river he saw a fish flapping on the shore and he threw it back into the water As thanks, the fish went to the bottom of the water and brought back with it a pearl for him The young man didn't take it, he said that he had a bigger treasure waiting on the end of this road He kept walking and he helped every animal he've met on the road and didn't take anything from any of them When the road he was walking on ended, he didn't find anything
