That's pretty much what I said in my previous post. All i am is this body and these thoughts, my body knows how to die and it'll die. My thoughts? my ego, my spirit, whoever I am besides my physical self? that'll also know how to return to whence it came when the time is right. we know how to die just as we know how to be born and how to live, there's a trillion different ways and they're all the same, little details aside. I don't know if there's a heaven, reincarnation, an after life, a great void. I don't know and quite frankly I am at peace with not knowing and i am content with doing my own thing and not giving a damn. Don't know if anyone is able to understand that. Anyhow; Epicurus said it best: “Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come,we are not.” Ya dig?

Every day countless cells in our bodies wither away and die and then new cells take their place. Im pretty sure my body knows how to die.

Being is a hell of a lot better than doing. A lot easier too, once you've unlearned how not to be.

I know it was like bbbbbbhuuuaahh! Damn I can't say anything!

There's this moment in the present... wait for it, wait for it... aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhmmmmmm not quite... it's almost theeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeee THEREOHMYGODYOUMISSEDIT! ah, so close. you almost had it.

Now watch me do this sick ollie over the stairs. gggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *SWOSH*

Yes, yes yes. lol isn't wonderful? You'll get the hang of it when you get the hang of it, and you're no longer hanging to it! haha!

It doesn't make any difference, westerner or not.

Dude, there's so much buzz going on around your post, you're trying and trying. Why not stop that? try no more,stop filling your cup. ya dig? it's spilling all over your lap. It's like, you know all this stuff and you've read this much and you're practicing all of this Taichi. Why? The harder you look for enlightment the harder it'll come. when was the last time you contemplated your breath? like the important shit behind it: oxygen gets in - Carbon dioxide gets out that's what's real, that's what's important. Ever heard the saying: Waste not, want not? Well it's actually the other way arround.

Just because that's the image they project it doesn't mean it's who they are, it's difficult to understand other people (let alone full nations) without living every day of their lives as they have lived them.

Im sorry but I can't take this guy seriously. it's like the man's a walking -or posting- parody.

"Call them, I don't care; just don't bother me anymore".

Nope, specially when someone beats you over the head with it at every turn.

Woops, sorry matter of habit. Well maybe I don't know, never tried it; but you cleared out your meaning for me on your previous post anyways.

joeldjohnston 'cept some of us aren't chinamen. damn i wish I wasn't such an ignorant westerner.

Point, how does one even barter with a spirit? "Okay I have a vacuum cleaner here and I ain't affraid to use it, back the f#ck up Casper." Unless... Cat know something we don't and he's holding out on it.

See this is an interesting couple of anecdotes, to me they speak of how these drugs are a key of sorts to go through that pineal door. It doesn't mean whoever is taking them is prepared to experience what's on the other side, to comprehend what's been revealed to them, maybe it's because it takes the right purpose in taking them, as well as the right mental state to embrace the third eye experience. I think they act like eyeglasses allowing us to focus our vision into seeing things we would not normally be able to see.Putting them on does not guarantee you'd be able to understand and learn from what you're seeing and feeling. It seems to me one requires to be in tune to be able to learn, otherwise you'd be having -as you said it- an amusement ride. Further testing required, better comprehension needed. Information, Information, Information hoooooooooooo!

I found the following Text while messing about on the internet, Im always looking for diferent adaptations of the Tao Te Ching as well as personal input and interpretations people have posted arround. Not only do I find it incredibly amusing, I think it has a certain clarity you won't find in many other Taoism texts out there. I apologize for the inconvenience if it's been posted before. Link: http://cantbeatfun.com/Tao/tao_rh.htm A slice for your reviewing. adapted by Ron Hogan originally attributed to "Jesse Garon"[...]15The ancient Masters were pretty damn impressive.They were deep. Real deep.Words can't even begin to describe how deep they were.You can only talk about what they were like.They were careful, like a man walking on thin ice.They were cautious, like a soldier behind enemy lines.They were polite, like a guest at a party.They moved quickly, like melting ice. They were as plain as a block of wood.Their minds were as wide as a valley, and their hearts were as clear as spring water.Can you wait for that kind of openness and clarity before you try to understand the world?Can you stay still until events have unfolded before you do the right thing?When you act without expectations, you can accomplish great things. 16Clear your head.Stay calm.Watch as everything happens around you.Everything reverts to its original state, which was nothing.And whenever something becomes nothing, it gets right with Tao.If you don't understand that, you're going to screw up somewhere down the line.If you figure it out, you'll always know what to do.If you get right with Tao, you won't be afraid to die, because you know you will.

Every possible face, thus no face at all.

I can't form a sentence to reply. I wasn't even going to tell you the common principle, I was going to word something about the Tao, it piled up against my skull but when I tried typing it -and saying it- I found my words disolved before they were born. Is that the common principle?

Superior knowledge of self.

I didn't like the cover.

Maybe they're reaching a point of social stagnation as generations progress. Have you noticed how little kids today seem to develop mentally and physically faster than they used to? how they're able to comunicate, sit up straight and reach out to technology and complex concepts at an amazingly fast pace? It's probably related to over-stimulation in and out of the womb, what the hell do I know? But one can't help but to connect the dots an look at how a geist is rising all around us. Maybe the age of wireless coms is affecting us in ways we couldn't have forseen making us restless and shifting; the first unconcious steps into transhumanism. Or maybe the Amish got bored with whisking butter or whatever is it that they did.
