+1 If there was no spoon cornflakes would remain uneaten. Those ' Matrix' movies are truly dreadful, but they are just movies. Some either never realised or seem to forget that fact.

Excellent stuff Trunk. To me anyhoo you've encapsulated some key ideas from Yin Fu bagua* but in a very easy to follow and concise way. Shall you be fleshing this out with some practical pointers? That would be good. * Really looooonnnnnggggg Yin Fu interview here, worth skimming if interested but he does tend to ramble on... http://www.chusaulei.com/martial/articles/articles_bagua_interview.html

I read somewhere that this last recession has seen more people going veggie for some meals to save money. Every cloud has a silver lining. Tesco has certainly upped its veggie section from what it was five years or so ago. Their veggie Mediterranean Sausages are really good ( in the freezer cabinets).

For sure. Our oldest lad is a keen biker. Those are good people. His MCC raises tons of money for charity each year.

Based on the claims of the usual suspects on here, some Dzogchen boosters certainly seem to believe their system to be a veritable repository of objective reality. I'm with you that objective reality exists with the caveat - insofar as we perceive it. That's reality enough for me. Using doors bypasses any need to try and walk through walls IMO.

Some claim that German lends itself to writing academic philosophy better than English does. More and subtler nuances.

Carrots. Plant carrots. The rabbits will come.

We have a black bamboo that has spread nicely over the years. I'm going to try to dig up some runners from it to transplant to the new house. Not sure if that'll work but worth a try as the guy who has bought this place intends to run a drive through that part of the garden so it'll all be grubbed out in due course anyhoo.

Yep. When it 'works' there's balance. Sorta like a fulcrum. Easy enough to 'tip over' back into monkey mind ( for me anyhoo) but when it all sorta comes together then that's what makes the effort worth while.

It's the sheer risk potential that stunned me. There are some truly sick puppies out there. Why in the world would any responsible parent put their kid up on YouTube talking up one side of a contentious issue? The kids school mates are sure to find it and rib the kid at very best. The worst scenario is unthinkable. Why would any parent run that risk? And for what? Diet! FFS No more from me here, as you can possibly tell; this one really irked me. And I'm a veggie. As for our chum's disgusting 'vomiting man' clip elsewhere today, that sealed the deal as far as ignoring him went.

Looks good. I like that meld of Buddhism and Taoism there.

Voted with my feet mate. Post all you want as you want. I'll not have to look at it. Ignored.

Can't find a ' Jade Sutra' in the canon. Any links please Trunk?

I hope that your mom does not grow lettuce or other green saladings. If she does then she'll need fencing to keep her crops safe. Rabbits are greedy little critters and seldom travel alone.

Two unsavoury clips in one day. Ignored.

Possibly someone up there confirming that it's time for you to move house Manitou. Glad to see you back on TTB and hope all is now well with those electrics. Everyone's different but 'birds of a feather......'

Is that where you learnt to post clips of someone vomiting for everyone to look at?

Where would be the point in attempting that?

It's aspirational. The mind is always there chattering away. Learning how to deal with that pays dividends.

If you think that is somehow the right thing to do to a kid mate then you are possibly not a parent. What sort of brain dead feck puts their own or anyone else's kiddie up on YouTube talking about a contentious issue for all the world to look at?

What can't speak, can't lie....

There's a Beaver bus company in Leicester. Motto , signwritten on every bus.... " Ride the Beaver."

No thanks. Enough is as good as a feast.

I feel seasick!

Best place . Good post.
