  1. I want to be a man now ;)

    That which you are is already the idealized one. Just pick already!
  2. I want to be a man now ;)

    Compromise with a kilt. Nah, you wont carry it off, if you start swishing . But seriously , you don't really sound like a girl. ( but if someone was to pin me down to saying why that was,, I wouldnt be able to answer. right)
  3. Chuang Tzu Chapter 4, Section B

    I think the idea being challenged,, was that fantasy should be believed ,because it had to have some solid basis to exist. The easter bunny doesnt have factual basis , so its a good example depicting the flaw. To consider every irrational idea as equally plausible, to good solid, well founded ideas,,would be an unhelpul error. Being good naturedly funny, trumps almost anything. Even awe and hellfire. If iturned out I was wrong about heaven existing, I think it would be great if its funny.
  4. facebook friends

    I know , I know,, im just asking some. Tech savvy people, ,,Why the heck do I keep getting friend notifications from facebook when im not on there? Nine people at a time may want to friend me?? How tf would they even know I exist??
  5. Meat

    Thing as in, dont worry about all this smog, since youre probably lactose intolerant and dont drink milk anyway?
  6. Ok yeah, you said that ,, its an assertion I have heard elsewhere..but what what is this supposed harm? If we tell the factual truth, we bestow a bit more power to someone else to react to the way the world truly is. So if we do exercise some care in what we choose to say, I dont see what the harm in it could be.Every one of the classical masters we read the works of ,and every other teacher, took the same "risk" .
  7. That may be true, I dont know how it would be worse for the casting person though. Its only words. Such a light offering. If you could really push a button that tilted the scales of someones life,, just once,, ive been lucky enough to have made a difference twice with words, and once with action.... and I consider it to have been to my great honor... those events stand out to me. A person whos life has been enriched by reaching out,should not be considered a harmful fool....maybe just a fool. If its true words just go in one ear and out the other ,for the most part,, no harms been done. Imo
  8. A trolls bait can only tempt , so it would require the cooperation of the hlp. Thus a hlp either has an opportunity to learn something themself, or simply have nothing to resent. You can see Songstans resistance , he doesnt have to avoid interplay. You can read his tolerance, his concern, his willingness to lay himself out there. I think there is but a spectrum of self mastery, yet each still has things yet to learn. To judge everyone as either wanting ,,or self perfected, is an unfair division... since no one is perfect , everyone would be robbed of credit for the strengths they have.
  9. I don't want to own anything anymore!

    Ill have to take your word for it.. I dont see anyone mentioning spirit friends associated with Kriya Yoga. But its not my thing.
  10. poison probably works good.
  11. I don't want to own anything anymore!

    What happens when you disown your spirit friends?
  12. 'The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. ' Tsun tzu
  13. High level practitioners are insecure ? He he he
  14. Saving the World & Solar Energy

    I really really like the synergy idea. Such as using methane from landfills to run machinery. High temp incinerators to remove waste and provide power etc. Not enough of that kind of efficiency is attempted. So much opportunity is squandered. Its nice to see some creativity, solar tubes are a great idea, it looks like they are aiming at simplicity. Maybe they went with solar panels for predictability. Id like to see that underground or in an ultra hi rise. , Every time money changes hands the gov steps in to grab some , working cooperatively should always have a big advantage.
  15. Well that would certainly negate the implied assertion of the OP.( I was just originally just applying Occam's razor. ) Your main point, sounds solid to me.
  16. The disembodied head and shrivelling placentas are spooky. I guess I do see the divisions like placenta vs baby, as untrue , since I see the divisions themselves as arbitrary. We`re a clump of cells, that has vestigial cells within , the placenta is part of the baby ,,I think,, and its attached to the mother,,etc and so on. Just dont take me too extremely on this. I do recognize divions like anyone else,,I just know them to be arbitrary. A deck of playing cards, for example , anyone can pick out the aces, or jokers ,or diamonds ,or flushes etc and so forth, its just mental subdivisions. (I wouldnt mind hearing a placenta song though)
  17. Good start, then it got spooky. May I ask if this is a faith that there is a group of folks who ascribe to, or is it a personal metaphor or conceptualization?
  18. At every dip A river seeks the sea, Though it may dry up, Not yet there, There it gets, If being there , Can be.
  19. Ok, ..if you Could know what wasnt right, then you could pick that which was. My own take on intuition, is that its a lump sum assessment of what you innerly choose , its the choice you are willing to get behind. And thats a good thing to be aware of. Without regrets you work with the consequences, firmly setting feet down though the ground itself quavers. Its rich and strong.
  20. The Father and Son of Taoist Philosophy

    Given a choice between being laborless and unsaved. I pick unsaved. Said Confucious, rowing along in a boat and whistling.
  21. Yeah , but if you Are looking for leadership, as opposed to just following your own intuition... you are in a sticky pickle.
  22. facebook friends

    I hadnt. But now that I see some symbols, im wondering why the cheese if its not butter, is cut in those angle shapes.
  23. Is this the tip of a cool burning feud? I wanna answer those. but I dont want to intrude on the fun.
  24. really? thats either taking a very generous stance, or very hard assed one. He he he. But theres truth in it alright
