林愛偉 Posted July 26, 2007 On the internet, it's easy for this sort of response to look trite / like a cop out, because it gives so little that isnt formulaic. I never thought so. I was insinuating agreeing with you. I do lcultivate putting down. Cultivate with the words death pasted on my forehead! Sometimes less says more. But for those who need vast explanations, they are there too. Peace, Aiwei Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer64 Posted July 26, 2007 I for one will look forward to another shore and make sure my boat remains in good repair... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
三江源 Posted July 26, 2007 I like boats, but I would never choose to go on a cruise. I've never even seen the film "Titanic". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer64 Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) But seriously folks (and thanks Cat for the quip about finding the void as being good meditation) there is always more to find in our searchings -complacency is no way to further our paths' extention into the void or any other realm of being we may wish to explore... Any place we may find ourselves will have a change within it - even "the void" ... there is no constant state of being in nature except that of change... here is a drawing of a boat... http://www.pdgart.com/Lands_files/Pan82a.gif Edited July 27, 2007 by Wayfarer64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xenolith Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Cripes. This thread consists almost entirely of mental masturbation. Step away from your keyboards and Live Life Bums...which, as Rimbaud (and subsequently Milan Kundera) have (correctly) asserted..."(Life) is elsewhere". ...and certainly isn't found within the computer monitor you're staring at brothers and sisters. The void is available for exploration. Through CCO. But I've tired of pointing out water to thirsty horses. Busy Living Life. Which is elsewhere. Love. Simplicity follows. xeno Edited August 1, 2007 by xenolith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zenbrook Posted August 1, 2007 (Life) is elsewhere". ...and certainly isn't found within the computer monitor you're staring at brothers and sisters. Great post, xeno Nonetheless, I'd have to disagree. If you can't find (Life) within the computer monitor you're staring at, you certainly won't find it anywhere else either. It's right..... ....here Peace, ZenB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what happens when we dont have anything concrete to merge with... we search The Big One That Got Away... The Void... Just imagine the seeeeeeensatioooonnsssssss.....
