That cold ?!!!!

My question, are you all worried about it (the thread's topic) ?

I found the TTB's dark matter (or maybe its dark energy) !

Is it really what you think ? Edit : I ask because I can't see you being serious saying something that definite.

Something I realized is that every time I feel relaxed that means I reach a new step to dig deeper in my tensions to relax myself a little more. This, mainly because I tend to occult what I don't wanna see. And when I feel like "wooow what an amazing sensation !" even it's a blessing it last only for a moment because the reason why I feel it is that lost the big picture (or the opposite, you never know )

Hi, I was interested in having some notion about what you think is a good daily practice duration. And what's your average daily pratice ? For those who pratice a lot, what's your main routine ? Have a good day. Clément

Lawl, it's difficult for me to listen to french hardcore hip hop anymore but... this is a lot better

Or art... depends on the point of view. I think that's a shame that nobody thanked Ryan, actually he's probably right ahah

You question is legitimate, this is no place to learn and find the dao, but affirmations on what you see when you look at the TTB are relevant too. When you ask something you belittle yourself that's something you are maybe not ready for, but ask yourself why you care posting that ? You are not fucked up... if you ask yourself questions you are not dead meat and in your time you'll have your own experiences, may them lead you to better trust and smiling more. Just lookout overall the thread you find what you asked, isn't it ?

Instinct is needed for survive, it's our most primitive part. For sure we need it but are we not trying to live ? I mean, to see beauty in shades of grey and welcome colors ? Experiencing being newly a father I don't think we were born "perfect" and we lost that magnificent connexion to the tao, we manage the best we can with environment all the way, overcoming the basic duality beneficial/negative that become more and more complex all the way until you have clarity enough to realize that you don't need to know if it's rhythm n blues or soul music to appreciate it. My 2 cents, Peace

Well I found them nice (in a good way) ! I'm interested in how you can tell this teaching is provisional. My view: I can find some "truths" beautiful (so are they ?) and I found some beautiful words honest. What makes something sincere or not (for me) is the degree of language sophistication. That's why I like to speak in and with people using another language than native because say what you want to say is already the challenge and there is much less space for the "how it looks". I admit I like to be provocative and bring people to self questioning.

Truthful words are not beautiful. Beautiful words are not truthful. Troll ?

Well, that's what you say...

Funny! Yup, my oldest friends keep calling me pépère ("chill") for 16 years now. I'm not so sure I deserved that nickname ahahah

(silent answer)

Mouahahah

Almost spiritual.

BiMMM

Does someone feel that when practicing ? Thoughts ?

Well the oil is a bit expansive for something that's not a problem. I take all the advices (thanks for that) anyway and btw I made the alcohol stove, there is truly a genius behind that. Best camping tip ever.

That's probably why my teacher seems to say the less he can lol (cause you can't get it with the mind). And that's why I'm so ambivalent toward this forum. So all in one you say understanding what's going on is useless, if it makes you live better. That's not what I call reasonable lol But I get it.
