  1. Synchronicity

    .......Nope that's red car synchronicity sho nuff. Jung didn't drive so he had a different take on it.
  2. Thank You Snow Jesus.

    Fingers crossed for more snow tonight. Come on Snow Jesus.
  3. Selling Out? Really?

    Yep
  4. Selling Out? Really?

    Stands to reason that everything is predetermined. You all knew I'd say that didn't you? ;-)
  5. Taoism.....lol

    Anybody says their version of Taoism is the best or right one just doesn't get it at all.
  6. The One... The Many...?

    I reckon we are individuals , some aren't comfortable with that idea hence group think etc.
  7. Does art come from suffering?

    Some art stems from suffering, some from contentment and some from the desire to earn a living by it. No audience, no artist.
  8. These celebs who raise money for the third world and such... Why not just send some of their royalties direct and have done with it? There will always be the haves and the have nots cos the haves want to hang on to what they have and stuff the have nots. Nowt we can do about it as far a the big picture is concerned but anyone can make a difference in a small way.

  9. Illness and Purification

    For sure. Hence the Chinese are notorious spitters in public. This latest virus doing the rounds ends up on the chest productively. If you are getting rid of the lung oysters then you are on the mend.
  10. Synchronicity

    Damn! I knew that was going to come up today.
  11. These positions you are taking guys.. They don't exist.
  12. Spending money on books

    I wonder. If we couldn't read at all any text would be meaningless but we were taught to read and in learning we absorbed the reading patterns , grammar and structure of 'our' language along with all the cultural baggage that entails. Then we read texts translated from ideograms developed by a culture totally alien to those of us raised in the west. Plenty of people out there want to tell us what it 'really' means ( i.e. what they think it means) but don't you think that most western readers of TTC or CZ sorta make their own meanings based on their own life journey so far along with a selective reading of the various interpretations out there?
  13. Selling Out? Really?

    I get similar but it's always a big cream cake rather than a naked lady.
  14. Close down Qi, or always stay connected?

    Agreed. It's like breathing, we do it.... Job done. No need to think about it as a rule. Qi's the same. Cultivating physically fair enough then be mindful of Qi but at other times Qi just goes where blood flows and as long as it's free to flow it flows. Regular Cultivation overcomes blockages.
  15. Spontaneous Suffocation

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apnea Best to have that checked out by a medical professional buddy.
  16. If Jesus was Jewish how come he had a Puerto Rican name?
  17. David Icke. What do you think?

    Icke's been accused of anti semitism but I can't see it from the website that said I'm not semitic so how could I know anyhoo? Book arrived today but I'll need to be in the mood to start it. Four more Rankins to read thank goodness before any 'serious' reading.
  18. Synchronicity

    You got that right. Natural rhythms, you'll not rush or beat nature.
  19. What are you reading right now?

    Armageddon the Musical Robert Rankin Almost finished the canon, four books to go.
  20. My Novel -- selected chapters for review

    Normal is an illusion. What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.” ( Morticia Addams)
  21. Synchronicity

    Anybody who grows or gardens is pretty much in touch with nature, even if it's only a window box.
  22. Selling Out? Really?

    It gets so that cultivation is mindless. Only time I think about it is when I'm not doing it. Sorta automatic when I do it just part of the old routine but my life is pretty same-ey every day anyway.
  23. Closeted gay Paul. I reckon.
  24. Synchronicity

    I was just thinking that there's more to it than meets the eye. That's synchronicity for you.
  25. Selling Out? Really?

    Remember full employment? More jobs than people to do them. Mill hands in Lancashire back in the 60s and 70s could pack in a job in the morning and start a new job after lunch. Wages had to be fair to attract staff, anybody paid a bit more they recruited well. Man those days have gone though!
