The guy in black riding a reptile struck me as Satanic, someone riding their 'Satanic' I.e. left brain/judging/destroying/criticizing mind, but then I saw your true point, I believe, which is to tame that thing....sorry - my bad!

@3Bob...(can't use quote function on this tablet) God does not know mystery, he/she/it is omniscient... We 'Godlets' have chosen to cut ourselves off from source to have the fun of the mystery. I believe we go back to source when we die...

Being one of those contentious individuals that has a tendency to be ornery, I understand people like that well, and know that they are the way they are partially because of co-origination karma. To any who think that we have 100% choice in life, I disagree, or else we would all be walking/talking perfect beings already. In coming from the dirty world that I have, I have learned acceptance of 'vile' behaviors because I have learned to accept myself. It is possible that I am an extremely advanced soul who has chosen to be born in the mud to learn to become all-accepting. Nirvana and Samsara are two sides of a single coin. Those who master non-rejectance automatically master all-acceptance. If you find yourself rejecting, and think that you are simply accepting yourself as being a rejector, you might still have work to do...or maybe not who knows? I don't say let people back into mainstream forums, just to never outright ban anyone, just like you don't get outright exiled from a country you are in if you commit a crime, you just get sent to jail ('the dungeon') where you can still have visitors and receive letters. Some people may look at Daobums as a house, but I like to look at it as a city or village - 'Dao Village' - yeah, if you have a house, and a guest pisses you off, kick 'em out, but if you have a town, and someone steps over the line, they go to jail, but are still in the community. People who have contributed greatly to a site, as ChiDragin, DB, etc have, do not deserve exile. They helped build this town. They are not serfs in some feudal kingdom, but important members of community...for a few people to make overarching decisions in a place that is community built us excessive and divisive. I don't have lots if money now, but I will eventually and I intend to pay my fair share into this place. Its my favorite place to be...probably out of any forum ever. I will probably be coming here for my whole life, with time off...its cozy and neat!

That about sums up what I've been doing! Hey, are you psychic?

Stillness and movement may be relative. Like saying that there is black and white. No absolutes exist absolutely. I don't know, I am not convinced yet. Can awareness ever be uncoupled from its objects entirely? Is that the realm of neither perception nor non-perception? I imagine I must experience it, but if there is an experiencer then there is still movement...I think I must get beyond mind to know, so it will be a while...one day!

No such thing as silence, nothing ever still....

i do read it, but its the interaction in 'real time' which makes my day and teaches me even more

Yet the right word at the right time could bring down a mountain of lies! Truly, the pen is mightier than the machine gun...

Let them all back! Those rascally villains! Keep them in the dungeon...he he.

I don't know about landscaping though, to much low down on the ground work, bending over, all that..UPS probably fun though

You guys gonna kill me one dees days!

I met the woman I am with through OK cupid...those dating sites are powerful things...what I recommend is making the most detailed, accurate ad you can, specifying exactly what you want and don't want and demand absolute honesty. Hell if I found the perfect match out of all the millions and billions of people in the world, I would move anywhere to be with them. Fuck job security and attachments to house and land- that stuff is all ephemeral. People are the only real things in this place...everything else is scenery...maybe TTB should have a personals section!

Sometimes I just let myself go silly and get loco and be me, as if there is no tomorrow, nothing to gain, nowhere to be, no one to be, as if its all just a game and I can't really die, and I just watch what happens...its fun. Ask yourself this: what would a Drunken Buddha do at a party?

Might sound lunatic fringe, but there is truth to it...

I go into ecstatic trance states just reading your guys' writing! I'm just riding along on your boot heels, catching glimpses of your unseen worlds...this is my like button

It will happen regardless. 'Suffering' is the spiritual fire, the payment, the 'earning' part. Whether we seek it or not, its going to happen. You can strive or not strive. Entropy has its own lessons.

sorry, got caught in a writing style I use on Godlikeproductions weird...I somehow didn't shift styles....messed up, my bad....will clean it up later....too tired now

whats that supposed to mean? Say it straight, stop with the hate.

Indeed. I mean exactly what I say. You, men and women and anything in between, have been brain washed into thinking that people in relationships are meant to have sex frequently and often to orgasmic culmination for the purposes of creating a weak willed and easily controlled population. The reason that this method is so successful is that when people constantly and consistently spend their jing, they lose their potency and become easily manipulated, because the science behind it is thus: Upon orgasming, the testosterone receptors in the brain are downregulated, causing a reduction in Eros, confidence, creativity, sensuality and basically willpower. Weak willed people become Sheeple. Encouraged to engage in sex from a young age, through memes generated from a hateful few individuals who wish to create a herd mentality, most of the world's peoples are brainwashed to become sexual hedonists from a young age. Most Disney movies have hidden sexual content in them. Go google it and see. By encouraging a culture of sex, everyone becomes mindless drones. Anyone who has 'sexually fasted' for more than two weeks knows the benefits, regardless of whether you are male or female. You feel more energized, ready to go out and get shit done. Nature doesn't encourage frivolous use of sexual energies....cultural memes and scripts have been created by hidden few that say it is manly to have sex often.... If you know how to have non-orgasmic, non-ejaculatory sex, good for you. Most people do not have the skill/control/discipline to withhold. They haven't built the habit energy. there is more coming, but I am being interfered with unfortanately

What is the meaning of the unstruck sound?

Its not their fault we can't see them. Unfortunately, in order to receive the benefits of spirit helpers, you must open you channels up to both. In the beginning, depending on the nature of your psyche, various spirits will be interested in interacting with you to see what you are like. If you are not 'up to code,' so to speak, the cool ones won't want to cast pearls your way, because to them you are a swine. The ugly ones will be happy to play games with you. Purify yourself first before opening those gates, and awesome shit will happen, or just go ahead and do it anyways and see the law of 'like attracts like' in effect.

Feelings are always lies, even if they approach Reality, they are always delusional to a degree. Doesn't mean they aren't useful...still, they are nothing special

well, yin and yang mean so much different stuff that i decided it wasnt the best idea

I had the same thought at one point
