happysinner Posted May 13, 2013 Hey , Â I am new here so please be gentle with me ! I found u guys from a forum about taoist mantras withe experts expressing their views . Â I was feeling quite down with my life and it made me smile all the way down to my feet ! Â Man , I am so happy to be stupid with no knowledge compared to these guys . Â My Tao is just to make my chi softer / sweeter smelling every day and try to become a more virtuos person . Â That is enough for me and I like being stupid and following my heart in life . Â I am a buddhist / taoist / me- ist and think that freedom is the most important thing in life ...wether it is mental / physical / spirtitual ..just be NICE ! Â Not a hippy by the " way " ....I am actually a War Pensioner etc..... Â In my long cultivation I have always found " knowledge " a serious barrier . Â I believe ....works for me anyway .. Â If you think you know everything then you know nothing AND if you think you are thinking then who exactly is thinking that to start with ?! Â I just like to FEEL and if it FEELS OK then I follow that path . Â Of course we need to access the various ways first and to try all of them and if we are lucky find a " way " to peace and love . Â Is there anybody here there that agrees with me ? Â My little offering if it helps anyone ...... Â Tai Chi ....Take Control ....Think Calm .... Â R A F ......Relax and Focus ... Â Â QUOTE : We all sit on the toilet , we are all the same .... Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Basher Posted May 13, 2013 Welcome HappySinner, interesting first post. Â Lots of Academic types on here, also lots of "posters" with way more knowledge about the Tao, than I. Â But there are a lot of times when I drift away from my "To-Do" List, relax & just go with the flow. Only problem being, it drives my other (and better) half, mad. She likes to have goals to reach & targets to aim at. Â Ah well, "Per Ardua Ad Astra", as they say in the Relax And Focus (LOL) Â Â PS: Oh "Sit" on the Toilet, my mistake, I thought you wrote something else !

SunnyJ Posted May 13, 2013 hello! I'm new also, so its nice to know I'm not the only one.. Maybe I'm wrong but isn't there a verse(s) in the Tao-te Ching about like how its the goverenment job to govern and the peoples job to rebeil if they dont? The same way its a parents job to rule the child ( i know this part is weird) and the childs job to disobey when they parents are wrong?? The being a hippy part made me think about that, because we think about hippies being anti war , but i remember reading and understand that war for a reason isnt always evil..i donno... HI!

voidisyinyang Posted May 21, 2013 I recommend squatting over a bucket of shredded leaves to make humanure compost. Â Mine turned out great! First time I used shredded leaves. Â Most people in the world still squat and it is much healthier but I just do it when it's warm outside. haha. Â I would do it year round but an inside squatting composting toilet would have to be super secret from the rest in my household..... Â Anyway humans make great humanure to grow food.
