"Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will." - Jawaharlal Nehru

[gatito]

Meditation will help you to find your bonds, loosen them, untie them and cast your moorings. When you are no longer attached to anything, you have done your share. The rest will be done for you.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

[CloudHands]

"You must relax. In Tai Chi Chuan, this does not mean to simply let go. In Chinese this means "Jou". It is a combination of being loose, relaxed and hard."

[RiverSnake]

I thought this was a very interesting quote: "The higher the initiate, the more difficult the childhood" Dion Fortune

“That’s the thing about pain…it demands to be felt.” —

John Green

[ShenLung]

"...and let that be a lesson to you. From now on, when I am giving instruction in a technique, you will listen attentively, and not attempt the technique until I have fully explained it, and you fully understand the instructions. This is nei gong, not guided meditation hour."

[Protector]

One day he was with his disciples in Judea, and he found them gathered together and

seated in pious observance. When he [approached] his disciples, [34] gathered together

and seated and offering a prayer of thanksgiving over the bread, [he] laughed.

The disciples said to [him], “Master, why are you laughing at [our] prayer of

thanksgiving? We have done what is right.”

He answered and said to them, “I am not laughing at you. <You> are not doing this

because of your own will but because it is through this that your god [will be] praised.”

They said, “Master, you are […] the son of our god.”

Jesus said to them, “How do you know me? Truly say to you, no generation of the

people that are among you will know me.”

Deepen and broaden your awareness of yourself and all the blessings will flow. You need not seek anything, all will come to you most naturally and effortlessly.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

[GrandmasterP]

' You need a certain kind of front to breeze in from an alternative reality in the back of a time-travelling Volvo and sit in a Presley City bar, with a two headed nipper on your lap, complaining to a private dick from the twenty-fifth century that you don't have time for nonsense'.

(Robert Rankin... The Suburban Book of the Dead.. p. 208).

[Cyrius]

"{Piety} is what people think of when they hear the word 'religion', a matter of believing more in a set of doctrines than in the mystery those doctrines point to."-James A. Connor. Silent Fire

If you had taken as much LSD as Paul McCartney then you wouldn't eat anything with a face either.

The known is accidental, the unknown is the home of the real. To live in the known is bondage, to live in the unknown is liberation.

Franz Kafka

Life seems that way sometimes, doesn't it?

[PLB]

That sentence has been a piece of my mental furniture for decades. I like the way it depicts an explanation for being tripped up in an orthoganal relationship to the experience of successfully negoitiating the tightrope. I think Zhuangzi would have enjoyed Kafka.

"Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!"

 

"Star Trekking across the universe. Boldly going forward, for we cannot find the reverse!"

 

"Your attitude decides whether you are happy or not. You can change your attitude. Choose happiness, concentrate on happiness, and you will find it everywhere." - Remez Sasson

Both are valid. Besides, we shouldn't be silly or serious all the time. Boring!

I haven't heard from those folks for a long time. There used to be a member at another forum I frequent who he and his wife are Discordians. Interesting folks to talk with.

[GrandmasterP]

Robert Rankin who you'll have seen me mention in Books is a Discordian author.

Makes me chuckle anyhoo.
