Protector

Because of mind numbing horse stance and weird meditation I used to get into a state of not caring at all Nothing was important, even my life. I used to just sit it out because I still had my memories and knowledge that If I died right then, I won't like it. I used to be completely fearless like that, and I still do after horse stance but not that extreme, but normally I get scared of death when I think about. I don't do much now but because of death I would loose the chance to do anything else. Because of meditation all of my emotional reasons would leave me and the only thing keeping me alive would be my greed. Thinking over things for living, I could think of only greedy ideas. Thinking over, death is scary in most cases because it's painful. You're sacred of the murderer because he has a huge knife and he's going to stab you and it's going to hurt. Since horse stance is so horrible, the pain stops being associated with death and it's not scary. When you're a stunt driver or someone who does something dangerous, it's dangerous to hesitate when a wrong move might kill you. People hesitate because they are scared but without fear of death, people might just kill themselves without doing anything more with their life or because they are not scared, they don't hesitate to do something scary. On kung fu movies people sometimes comment about how it's impossible to get out after one strong punch and keep fighting like in the movies, but you know, these guys probably done a lot more horse stance then guys in the theaters. So yeah, if I die, I'd give one more lecture

I don't know what you call an accent, but I've got it

AAAAAAAAAAAA all them blog comics are a pain to read

HOBOCATS?

Fine, have another one http://www.lackadaisycats.com/ This one I put in the same category as Girl Genius, a super detailed comic that takes a long time to draw and update and so I'll just wait till it's over, but I guess it's never going to be over so I'll just read it over again. I got in the mood for this story. It's about the prohibition days in America, all the characters are drawn as cats. I found it on Deviantart then started reading it, good times. All the information is in the FAQ http://www.lackadaisycats.com/faq.php It's a very good looking thing and there's a story that takes a while to draw, but there is stuff going on so go read it or something. Do it, I command youuuuuuu

Now where's the bastard doing that, let me at him

Since that thread about the spiritual approach being the same with all the emptiness talk and whatnot, I've been thinking about how to change that. I have an interesting idea on how to freshen things up. How about everyone who can, writes a new book about all the spiritual stuff but using their own words. I like using writing as meditation, I even figure out new things as I do that, but sometimes I take so much time to get one idea across that the whole thing looks kinda weird. That's why some threads by me have a weird pacing. Since it's also the 2012 thing this year and nothing special is going to happen, some people would like something to happen and so they make it happen themselves. This could be one of these projects that makes something good come out of the 2012 thing. Here's a motivational song: Don't worry, everyone benefits from it

I don't think what you're doing there would help write a book anyway It's like doing push ups everyday and then writing a book about exercise... while the goal was more intellectual

Man, reading these chapter discussions is like having a huge ego boost It's kinda cool to understand something no one else does, I wish I found this one earlier so I could read Marblehead not know what's going on on these first few pages hehe It would take forever to explain the chapter in detail, but good thing that I've been writing this sort of thing down! So let's use this for reference http://thetaobums.co...-time-to-learn/ I like this Feng translation: Empty yourself of everything. Let the mind become still. The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return. They grow and flourish and then return to the source. Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature. We know how duality works and how something comes out of nothing. Things grow and become more complex, like chakras flowing into each other It's seen in many patterns and in life, when something grows up, it eventually dies and returns to the source It came from nothing and eventually becomes nothing The way of nature is unchanging. Knowing constancy is insight. Not knowing constancy leads to disaster. Knowing constancy, the mind is open. With an open mind, you will be openhearted. Being openhearted, you will act royally. Being royal, you will attain the divine. Being divine, you will be at one with the Tao. Take into perspective into your own body, you are made of many cells that work individually but together they are one. One cell is not important to your big body. Cells have a short life and they are replaced with new ones without you noticing. Many cells together create tissue, that tissue can become a piece of your heart. Your heart pumps blood through your whole body but it's hidden in your chest behind your ribs lungs and flesh, it doesn't know about the skin. The skin touches the air and air touches everything. You might feel disconnected because air is not a part of your body until it get's into your lungs. Food is not a part of your body until you eat it. The universe is not a part of your body, but you are part of its body and are like a cell to it. As a human, you stand in the middle of your own being. At your smallest, you are looking out of your body as a cell or something smaller that initiated all the movement for your body. At your greatest, you are the universe and a long time ago you initiated the movement of all the things that made the creation of your human body possible. You support your human body and it supports itself which supports that one cell. There is a lot of change but it can be narrowed down to coming to the source and coming out of it and they change like yin and yang or life and death. It's the most basic exchange and since it's so basic, it's nature. In the big picture you are not your body and if you are your body, it's not the same as it was yesterday or seconds ago. Small things change but you don't notice, and big things change but you don't notice them either, in the same way you don't notice cell death you don't notice a star's explosion in space. These things change but who you are during them doesn't. You already died in many ways and will die in the future but you will still move on. Being at one with the Tao is eternal. And though the body dies, the Tao will never pass away.

hm hm hmmmmmmmmm So you're going to take 30 years to write your book? Go ahead
