Your talk reminds me a very wise and positive quote by Lao Tzu that says: "A man is born gentle and weak; at his death he is hard and stiff. All things, including the grass and trees, are soft and pliable in life; dry and brittle in death. Stiffness is thus a companion of death; flexibility a companion of life. An army that cannot yield will be defeated. A tree that cannot bend will crack in the wind. The hard and stiff will be broken; the soft and supple will prevail."
@absenceharmony 12 kilograms of 10:1 chinese herbal extracts, especially reishi, consumed over a period of 7 years. best accompanied with readings from lao tzu. : )
Sometimes, to get out of an existing rigid pattern it can be helpful to switch to another rigid pattern for a short while to shift things. You just got to remember to relax things further down the line.
wasnt aware that you were well aquainted with alan watts til i heard you say, "double bind", which he says all the time. hes been the main source of my way of waking up for the past three years, and his philosophies always circulate in my head, especially the attitude of watever will be, will be, but i have to say that im sort of spiritually frustrated right now. im 16, and i read stuff about people aligning their chakras and commanding chi energy and it only makes me want to hasten my progress.
I saw a monkey today driving a car a chimpansee i believe, he even tossed a banana out the window on my hood, i believe it was even drinking beer as well, things you see in these times, this might sound like a joke but on 2012 12 21 bunny rabbits will take over as the leading higher force of life here on this planet, we humans will loose all frontal lobe activity and become like snails, have you been nice to bunnys? they will rule for 1000 cycles, which last for 250 years, no joke very true...
@EricLove78 i'm attempting to make you feel better by sending my attention your way. you'll soon find your life purpose & then you'll start just groovin' along! =D
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.
@TangerineGroovin He's just trying to generate a small amount of revenue from the videos through AdSense, maybe to keep this going. I would normally be right there with you, but your time is valuable and stuff costs money. It hasnt turned me away from a good video.
