LOL.  Perhaps a bad choice of words.  I withdraw the question because after re-reading the last several posts, I realize I'm talking about apples vs. oranges.

 

Old lady mulligan, please 

 

 

 

Dear old lady: you’re not an idiot. You are welcome and wanted. Ask away.

 

Signed, your family at the dao bums.

Aaah.  You picked up on the reason for my edit.  Thank you, my Bum-bro.

CAT'S GOT YOUR TONGUES?

[ralis]

The will is a complex process which many strive to simply. Fluidity of time as well as other realms are not separate from an individual’s will. An acute awareness is vital.

'Why so serioussss?' I've been following the thread so i can learn. Can you explain in a manner where it can be of value to others including myself to prove that it is not trying to create any confusion? And so it is not only benefiting a select group of people?

 

Thanks

No, she's amicably snuggling beside me.

haha. Ohhhhh no. I'm not talking about that tongue. I'm talking about the tongue that's gotten you this far. The one that calls itself happy idiot.

 

I want it to speak to me directly if it's not 'gotten', if you catch my drift.

Hi Welkin, he writes how he writes, in accordance with his nature and will, and can actually be quite helpful and open to sharing when not addressed confrontationally.

 

What is confusing to you in what he shared?

Not a single peep.

 

I get it now. You guys use them to hide your little friends you carry inside.

 

Let me clarify, since you like speaking in riddles to yourself anyways. You don't see snowflakes. You don't even see the damn people around you.

 

 

How few! yet how they creep

Through my fingers to the deep,

While I weep — while I weep!

 

can I not save

One from the pitiless wave?

I have no problems with what's been recently presented here, and only thought to assist you with what you presented as a problem for yourself. 

 

You can accept my offer, or continue with the tract you've chosen.  You're choice.

Why do i feel like i keep getting my hands cuffed?

 

how ironic. do you realize what you quoted?

 

And no it's really not my choice. It's actually his choice to communicate effectively. If @Everything gets that criticism, then there needs to be equality.

 

Catch my drift? Or do you all want to continue to get burned by 1 person?

And yet, i'm still not doing anything wrong in reality? Something tells me everything will be just fine. Can't wait when the crowd comes to read.

 

 

[welkin]

Why is earl grey so quiet? only posts pictures and reactions now?

[welkin]

Hey, now that it's all good and chill now.

 

Can ya'll tell me what's the point of being able to send electricity out your hands and actually being able to affect reality? I obviously have ideas. Do any of you educated folks know anything advised in text?

My dear young man, you haven't burned me; nor am I being drowned or pummeled by any wave you imagine. 

 

Now, would you like to actually address the topic? 

 

Edit to add: we're currently discussing will, as it relates to the title of this thread.

Likewise.

 

Those who have EYES TO SEE please see. Does this makes sense to you?

I'm not trying to burn you, or drown you in imaginary waves. I'm trying to have a discussion with peers (i.e. equals).

Why don't i feel like we're equals?

 

OHHHH Right. That's my fault too.

 

You guys are UN-BELIEVABLE

Do you guys have the popcorn? It's getting good

What are you going on about?

 

The present topic is will. Is there something you'd like to add to the discussion?

Actually, I do.

I hope this is somehow cathartic for you, if nothing else.

Because you've behaved like a petulant child, and the kindness offered in spite of your little fits and insinuations are at odds with each other and perhaps difficult to digest?

 

Take care. And good luck with the indigestion.
