It's Personal Posted: 5/30/2007 8:14:35 PM
I agree with the theme in the thread that there is a need for the divine. I personally do not personify the divine ie. a god. And I use the word divine lightly. I doubt that most people are willing to accept right and wrong, and good and evil as part of divinity. An all encompassing experienece perhaps. Anyway, ... I struggle to find a way to articulate what I want to say. The only thing I find in my memory that is relevant is something once said to me when I checked out zazen, "first a mountain is a mountain, then a mountain is not a mountain, afterwards a mountain is a mountain again" No that will not do... However, that does make me reflect and understand somethings I didn't before tonight. Thanks OP. We all seek water, a neccesity of life, then wonder to it's source, some of play by the banks and watch in wonder, while others lost in the stream, a water washed pebble knows all, except what it is like to fall. A shallow reef, when full of grief, does find love a thief, such is change in belief. Ehrn, when all is, it's all HIS, . Who am I to refute, a forced brute? I believe we should always believe that which empowers us the most. A movie I saw said something along the lines of "Somethings you don't believe because they are true, you believe them because they are worth believing in". (two old guys and a kid)

What is your greatest achievment and why Posted: 5/29/2007 7:35:51 PM
I don't have one. Not that I am aware of anyway. I change with the seasons, and with that any lapels/coat tails I might rest on. Perhaps it is the existentialist in me that says, "I won't ever find out, because until I am dead.... who knows.".

A 20 yo man with an erection problem...? Posted: 5/29/2007 7:22:36 PM
Hmmm... Well if he is capable of having an erection , it doesn't sound like a physical problem. My intuition tells me it's a matter of self image problems. I don't know if that is the case though. How long can he maintain an erection with his clothes on? If it longer than the minute that he can without them... I would suggest some sort of psychological trauma. Otherwise it could be a physical. In one case I would suggest seing a licensced psychologist, and the other... who does that?... a ureologist? IMHO

room for science and religion? Posted: 5/29/2007 6:53:35 PM
This is a complex problem. Perhaps, there needs to be a clarification on the word "religion"? Does this imply is there room between organized religion and science? What about self developed religions? Or a person that is spiritual in nature, but not necessarily religious? Given that science is formalized, and it's processes well defined, it leaves me with a vague notion of what is meant by religion and what is being asked. After looking both words up, I am still at a loss, as my definition of religion is the practice of a metaphysical theology. As such, the two are in perfect agreement. The two grow together. a Hegelian dialectic of sorts.

How do you counter market? Posted: 5/25/2007 4:43:41 PM
While this has not been one of more intelligent posts, it sure has been the most enjoyable and embarrasing. Yes, it was a blonde moment. As for brawn, many of the posters are correct, I am not a gym rat or an NFL line backer. One of the many reasons I became a sanitation engineer ( cough garbage man) is for the exercise. I still have my man boobs, but they are fading away as moving 8 tons of garbage a day tends to have a slimming effect. Though, I consider myself intelligent, I have no pretension of joining mensa anytime soon. The glasses are because I need them, they are not for fashion. Since I don't take pictures often except when by my computer, I tend to have them on. Otherwise, I leave them on the table. Finally, for always drinking, I do exaggerate. I do have a drink or two a night, but that is already considered alcoholism. I don't chug down a bottle of liquor or a case of beer, but it is nice to have a drink at the end of a long day. Thanks for all the replies. They have been wonderful.

I am a single guy, with a boat load of brawn and some brains. How do you counter the market? I am not looking to be dead sexy. I understand that you have to be attractive. What I want to know... is it that rare to have a body and mind that fit each other? To step away from the window... is it really that hard to have a bod and have a brain at the same time in one person... and look for another that is like that?

why do guys always say i'll ring you Posted: 5/24/2007 9:29:57 PM
I am not going to be nice... Zoom stop dating those younger guys. Unless you have some self restraint they are not going to either. Sex does not imply a relationship... as jaded as that may be... the two are different. Second, take some time for yourself... coz you need to grow as a person. Forget men for a while. You need me time. As for Mon he is acting exactly his age... bleh. I really don't know why Zoom but this infuriates me. Your 40, listen to your self sometimes... screw what other people think, and find what really really works for you.

In wisdoms depth there is a wit, time makes a fool of us all, but does he ever take a hit, does it's ego ever fall? "All our knowledge begins with experience. It does not follow that it all arises out of experience" - Kant Critique of Pure Reason The process, a poem of question, followed by a flash of intuition and a name which reveals not only the meaning but also the reason... "Intuitions without concepts are blind; concepts without intuitions are empty." - Kant

How should shy women approach a man she really likes Posted: 5/24/2007 4:49:37 PM
The obvious one is ask him a question he already knows you know the answer to or is obvious. Then he should know you are flirting and there is an attraction. However, he could be shy too. In that case... well I don't but it would be interesting.

Was thinking of someone awsome... Posted: 5/21/2007 10:11:49 PM
I was thinking about someone awsome and had referenced a book... I decided to follow that train of thought and while on track to my destination realized that ... I always sucked with choose your own adventure books. (from another post that reminded me). " You mean your not supposed to not discover all the options and where they lead then back track and change your choice?" Anyway, said in a more eloquent way than I can hope to articulate , " You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past." -Richard Bach http://web.ionsys.com/~remedy/MESSIAH'S%20HANDBOOK%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20(BACH).htm

Good Places to eat, and good places to take a date Posted: 5/20/2007 7:03:22 PM
You don't take your first "Date" to your special places... thems the breaks. To do so is to invite discomfort and disaster. ( I am very picky about my bed... and with that comes my places to eat and my places to shit). When dating you go to the hot scene if your looking for a volley fuck, or you go to a library or cafe if your not.

Personality Test Posted: 5/20/2007 6:25:22 PM
I took the one here. It's limited. A Briggs-Myers type test actually works on sliders, and rarely is someone an extreme. That said I did get what I usually do when I take the limited tests ENTP. Normally I balance in the middle straight down the board so it's difficult to say. I have traits of both.

meditation Posted: 5/20/2007 3:19:52 PM
I meditate all day long I usually do a focused awareness during the day, as anything else would be dangerous for me (hanging of the back of a garbage truck) . When I really get down to it I like the mudras, I use them a lot. Meditation shortcuts :) for state chaining. When I retire and get back to school, I am giong to go to school for psychology... at least that is the plan at the moment. I want to bring in meditation techniques into mainstream mental health treatments through clinical hypnosis. A lot of the techniques are similar or more refined. I am vehemently against psychotropic drugs and think that there are better solutions for state management than turning people into zombies or drug addicts.

Fear of God Posted: 5/20/2007 2:57:52 PM
I agree that a fear of God does not make any sense. I am a spiritual person and if there was any religion I identified with, it would the gnostics. God and morality should not be linked. I do not need god to tell me what is right and wrong, and punish or reward me for it. Also why even personify god? The divine resonates in everything around us, including us. That is god. No need for judgement, no need for a punishment/reward system. However, that is my belief and people are entitled to theirs.

I know this is ask a girl... but it makes sense your always thinking about sex... in your profile you state that you want a family... and being a logic person the first step to that is sex. I don't think it says you are a perv. Sounds like you spent a lot of time in school so you can have a resonable amount of financial success and didn't spend much time on woman. The field your in can be very demanding in terms of background. So you are playing catch up in a way.

Frat boy, jocks, geek... Posted: 5/19/2007 7:33:17 PM
I always change. When I think back to highschool... I was different. I never had a niche to fit into and jumped around between them. Great people are just that, great. They come in all shapes and forms. When I look back over my life, I notice I change every 4 to 5 years. It's like all the lessons I have learned in that time culminate to make me evolve. The reason I find the question so interesting is because the only self I feel I have is no self. If you take a snapshot of me at two different times the person is different. Given this, it amazes me how people confine themselves and limit what they can do. A person to me once you include unconditional love, and with that non judgement is ... amazing. They are like a universal peg that can fit into any hole. That reminds me of a toy I had when I was a child. A bench with different pegs and the holes they should go into... I didn't like that toy much lol. Yet to be more on target with the post, I felt that one of the greatest transformations I had was at 22. I had a breakdown, and commited myself to a mental hospital. ( They only kept me for a week :( ) It was then that my world changed... where once I would only look to the logical and rational... I realized that while irrationality and non logic is certianly more unpredictable and unreliable, it is a necessary tool. The old cliche that when you have only a hammer every thing looks like a nail is very apt. I learned a great deal about myself in that time period, the people around me, and the world in general. I recently went through another one of those evolutions... perhaps an evolution in progress but at the time I learned a great deal about psychology, psychiatry, and resolve/will. The contrast is stark from my current perspective since I am no longer that person. One of the major thinks to come out of that period of my life is a love for synchronicity and an appreciation and understanding of it. An important lesson to learn that correlation does not imply causation. Anyway this is already very long... It is a great question SF.

Tip jars in takeout Posted: 5/18/2007 9:12:27 PM
God I have had so many jobs... but yes sometimes a tip is warrented. Some of those jobs pay absolute crap. I am thinking back to my stints in the food industry, and with that... some of those folks deserve tips. The job is horrible, the people worse, and you don't even get payed for it. ugghhh... Yet, there is a difference between mcdonalds and a stared resturant. A tip jar at a quick eatery is fishing for cash.... It would be intersting to see who actually did it.... dam people watching.... Also a standard tip should always be 15 percent, and above and beyond is 20... even counting the cents when rounding up. It is one thing not to leave a tip, an other to leave a bad tip, but never tip because you have to.

Perhaps this is way off but, when working with that mode/state it doesn't matter what you use, it's meant as a focus. I remember this peanuckle deck I was really fond of.... It does not mater the tool of the expression but rather the validity of the gesture. that reminds me of reiki with intent... and why they do not factor self into it... but anyway.
