  • There was a boy who had a boat, And pleased he was to see it float, But floating all too well, as feared, It sailed away and disappeared, The little boy, he didn't cry, At first his parents wondered why, Was he not grateful to them for choos…
  • I wonder, would “one accumulative interpretation” be like pushing a round peg through a square hole? Perhaps I don’t exactly know what you mean. I guess i was trying to find the right words of asking you if you think you would ever consi…
  • Well, as we 'catch up with our tail' of the chapters where you seemed to commit yourself to it, may i say on behalf of all us centertao readers that we are very pleased that you have had the interest to continue with your weekly translations of the…
  • The word 'it' seems to try and indicate where the buck stops. i.e. 'Thats it', yet that also suggests an ending, which of course only [chref=58]transforms again into[/chref] something else.. even if that is a return to 'nothing' from whence 'it' spr…
  • Hello there The master does not cling to his/her own comfort....... A friend of mine said recently that i was very tolerant of some particular 'annoying' people. I replied that surely the word 'tolerance' refers to when something is pressing…
  • May I plop in a leek and a few little spices to this wonderfully tasty pot… ~ reminds me of the evangelists, who hold their beliefs so firmly with set-in-concrete ideas in a totally closed mind. I can see how that is a kind of grasping, a des…
  • My mind shouted at me ‘Life is short – it’s a vacation from death!’ but lets see how these words correlate… Life – stirs – needs – takes - work Death – settles – satiates – gives – rest (Perhaps!… I nearly wasn’t…
  • A dear friend of mine has an internal monologue that never shuts up. She finds it impossible to ‘have’ even a moment of quiet. The closest she seems to be able to get is when that internal monologue is explaining to her over and over that ‘t…
  • * Well, don't smell your hands comes to mind. * Animals don't think, thus they don't carry the baggage of expectations around that we do (for the most part anyway) Indeed, but lots of animals sure as hell linger and have a good old sniff if t…
  • Interestingly, the word ‘virtue’ - virtutem - has an origin in ‘manliness / mailness’ ‘valor’ and ‘worth.’ Surface level, it could appear that we must conquer the animal within and rise to prove our valuable human dignity through ga…
  • Q and A thread anyone? (or should that be Q and S, Question and Suggestion?) Would anyone care to tell me why i seem to be the only human who tries to handle fresh garlic and onions as little as possible while cutting them.. but nevertheless... m…
  • Well hello there, Welcome aboard Im in the UK too, Lincolnshire. They are a friendly bunch arnt they tho. Hope to see you making yourself at home... Carl seems to like grist for his mill, so tuck in. Laurence xXx
  • 'New' information So… being not separate from Nature means that all the things that 'we do' are reactions that fear has pushed us into or need has pulled us towards; both of which are Nature's course and not 'our intervention.' Fine. So w…
  • yeah.. its cos I dont wanna 'miss' anything "important." Too fervent my quest for integrity. :oops: In not allowing myself to 'miss' things I grasp, thus miss... thus see those moments when my mind "gets it" as more important than the 'ordinary'. T…
  • "My Flying Carpet" ...doing less and less until.." indeed until words and thoughts disappear, but they dont stay disappear-ed do they! so with as few as possible: I observe my most prominent attitude to work is to avoid as much effort as pos…
  • ngaaww... what a lovely welcome !!! and you know what Ziggy one... with people like these its 'hard to remain impartial..' i think i fell for Lynn 3 clicks in my first day. Blessingtons Laurie xXx
  • ... naturally. If we're playing the 'sum it up game' then here's my roll.. Its an illusion that its an illusion. or is that just a constant that can be named? :P round.. and round.. i'm dizzy. :roll: Well, that levels out any of th…
  • I have had the joy of spending this week with my mother visiting my brother and his family in their lovely home abroad. Very busy house-hold, very energetic young children... and a very cute new baby too. As i have not spent much time with my br…
  • Hello Curious... plonk yourself down on a cushion. tea? indeed, escapism is almost inescapable innit tho. thats what "I" , the ego consciousness does for a 'living' ;-) Please dont think im speaking cos i think i know, its just interesting t…
  • Disclaimer: Most analogies fail the moment after they are said, but serve as a vehicle at least for the duration of its own one way trip. - there is always a stage deeper, and another, and another… but feel free to add, discuss or destroy. W…
  • Thanks you guys... I'm almost back to 'normal' now... its been months!! Very odd, lots of time to just be, no books... just time, smiling at the illusion of me in the garden. Sounds great huh. yeah, but guess whats rearing its 'ugly' head now…
  • Ah... the pendulum... I used to have a very wide swing, from extreme positivity like a rosy-eyed hippy, nature is for us man...like whoa!... to the height of all lazyness, contending against effort itself... or a very unhealthy perceived lack …
  • Hello there, This is being relayed via a friend Just to say that Im missing you all very much, for the last 5 weeks and still at the momment I am off work with 'Optic Neurosis' which has made my vision so blurred that i currently cant see wel…
  • Ooo, allow me just to [chref=69]retreat[/chref] a foot or two... "Busted" eh? Good. That wasn't so hard was it? Questioning the belief in free will was the straw that broke my "am i just a 'back-slidden' christian who's looking for any answ…
  • Haha. I kinda should'a known that you wouldn't give more weight to one side than the other, and i guessed you would remain impartial with an encouraging yet sensitive delivery after my telling you about my 'out-of-the-ordinary' experience. I knew…
  • Can of worms Well, with hope that this doesn?t cause anyone's heart any disturbance (please feel free to delete this post, i will not be offended) im here to kick off another round of 'gimme gimme'... Im just thirsty, plain and simple. Rig…
  • ...hello, thanks ever so much. Phew its been an interesting couple of weeks for me. i would have thought it would have been difficult on so many levels to take the lower position, most tangibly the repercussions of the social aspect. (i.e. i…
  • Oh Carl, i dont want to my presence here to in any way cause that "oh no, its a needy one." But right now, i feel a stronger need to throw my hands up and cry 'help me im lost' more than i feel the need to try and impress you with how wise and bala…
