Songtsan

wow! That brings me great Insight. I have had inklings of that exact dynamic many times, but felt that maybe I should just move on and try to find peace and free up energy so that I could indulge in my own cultivation....I know that I would exercise more, eat better food, and find more contentment in general on my own. I have at times wished I had the energy to be her superman and fill the void, but I felt often that I was not self-sufficient enough to help both her and myself out. I don't want to derail this thread with this discussion for too long however, unless Yasjua doesn't mind? Otherwise, perhaps, if you are willing of course, we could take this topic up elsewheres? Really, what I thought would be neat, is if I could talk her into getting back onto the board, maybe we discuss our relationship issues here....although that might be too much for her...we have talked about getting couples therapy, but people here seem so much more well rounded, and spiritually intelligent, that I bet it would be neat....maybe we could even have a closed area of the forum where couples could discuss things of a more personal intimate nature, sort of like WWW, with invitees only....you got my gears spinning....not that they aren't always doing so of course

Interesting...can you elaborate?

Hmmm...maybe I should stay with my girlfriend then....seriously....

So have you actually sat down with her and talked with her about it? Like, straight to the point? She sounds so accomodating, almost like a submissive, that if you told her exactly what you felt/thought, she would probably naturally adjust to suit you....and save you both the extra energy loss in the process...

I hope that as many of you as can will do, so shall they participate! Yep yep!

I'll be playing my Djembe in the March....going to make some Noise!!!! aw yeah....

Perhaps I am 'owned' by a Fox Spirit?

Like attracts like, my friend.

Well, if you guys ever hear of me spontaneously combusting, it will either be due to the fact that I am mad about the government, or the government has decided to kill me for revealing this information Either way, its the fault of the government! And, as I think that it is the givernment who is behind all world religions, including Taoism, then basically 'God' killed me....LOL

Well, apparently the government has a weapon which they can use to cause a human to spontaneously combust. I won't say how I know this, but it is from word of mouth. Not something I have read, or that anyone else has read...direct transmission..no joke. Its also been alluded to in many movies with Illuminati symbolism.

OK...what are you thinking exactly Mr. Cat? Methinks you misjudged me this time, for you know not my intent! Assumptions are like..

Well I like Facebook! It's helped me keep in contact with plenty of good friends....its a good service...

...to make themselves more accessible? Like why can't the Dalai Lama, Thich Nat Hanh, or name your person who is wise and learned spend time in a more easily accessible format? Why does it all seem so materialistic sometimes? As in, come spend $2500 on a 7 day retreat or some such, in order to get this teaching or attunement....I'm confused. If they really wanted to end suffering, it seems like they would be more open, available, forthcoming. In this age of easily transmitted information, the Buddhas should be speaking through the mouths of all channelers.

Like I said, I will be the answer to the problem that I seek. I am the question and the answer. When I become a fully enlightened Mahasiddha, I will spend part of my day being available on an online forum such as this, answering all questions posed as only I can in my silly ways. That is down the road. I like to write, and I spend maybe 2-3 hours a day writing on internet forums, and a few hours reading...a few hours walking around, and doin' a little bit of yoga, calisthenics, etc. here and there, and working at my friends, and doing internet sales....life is sweet! I am a happy camper in general....

Is there a way to break that down? 'That which is without cause, confuses that which it causes...' Now, my parents confused me when I was a baby, I am sure! Who/what the hell are these funny looking faces looking down at me!? Ahhh!

Its hard to say, when reincarnation is in play. Who is to say that today's starving children aren't yesterday's villains who raped the countries they now live in?...it is about the energy you put out coming back to you, one way or another....that is a universal law. Equal, opposing forces coming back at one. The bodies are straw dogs, but the essential beings inside them are not...its one hell of a ride!

I have heard so many stories such as this. Truly the universe will provide when it is needed...if you try to game the system, stealing from the government and people, then you will be left to survive in your game, without assistance. If you move on from that, you will have a mavelous time too. As long as you keep putting out energy, you will take in energy. If you just take in energy, sooner or later, energy will do the reverse and leave you....

No, my employer/friend/business partner owns it outright...he will let me do just about anything I want within reason and local permitting laws, whatever i can get funding for. I will PM you some closer coords so you can see the actual locale..

Actually, this whole year or so, I've been experimenting with only learning from internet forums and direct communication with individuals... Its interesting...I've been through SoftGF maybe once, and I have the Taoist Yoga, A & I book, which I have seen a little of...I just prefer live books lately, and I don't feel in a hurry to absorb knowledge, not like I used to...I am feeling a phase change coming soon though...

@Brian: Have a weak background in Philosophy and Math....can you elaborate?

Don't sigh, just dry your eye...teachings come in mysterious ways, absent one...

Actually, what spontaneous human combustion really is is a weapon that the aliens who control this planet use to take out humans who come too close to the truth....

I'll take some pics soon and post them.

They say that the images you are attracted to most represent your inner self. Go to my FB 'Songtsan Ali' and in one of my photo albums is a series of Thankgas which I resonate with...I'll go set my settings to public... EDIT: its the one called 'Cool Stuff'

@Amoyaan: awesome post. You brought me one step closer. It is like we are the caretakers of the things we hold. Imagine the selfless virtue one could attain if one were to practice the behavior of non-ownership..I know the way to deal with the gobblers of the world, the 1%ers....feed them and feed them with compassion until they've had enough and break down in tears at what they have become. Then you help them stand up and move on. Remember the scene in Spirited Away, where no-face comes in and starts gluttonously gorging? We are all like No Face when we come into this world, and soon take on the faces of those around us....
