Why do some people not realize that life is a food chain?
Posted: 3/10/2006 10:21:26 PM
OP, please, can you tie in the food chain reference with what you're saying? I don't get it.

Bob Dylan:

"the bridge at midnight trembles
the country doctor rambles

bankers nieces seek perfection
expecting all the gifts that wise men bring."

Trigger Words
Posted: 1/13/2006 10:10:15 PM
Isn't it funny how people are so PROUD of how upset (triggered) they get over trivial matters?

It's funny. It's bad enough that people can be turned off and on like little machines, but add the element of PRIDE IN MECHANICALNESS.

"Look at me. See how easily I can be operated (triggered), like a little hand puppet."

"Don't say 'can't' around ME. I'm a superior powerhouse who can DO ANYTHING." ("and yet hearing a certain word causes [triggers] me to lose my temper")

Used for sex?
Posted: 1/12/2006 11:26:37 PM
re: using and being used. I have used, and I have been used. Ho hum.

The longer you're on the planet, the more you notice that things tend to balance out.

It's called Karma, or Fate, or the Immutable Tendency Toward Justice.

Relax.

When you feel heart broken and used by someone...
Posted: 12/1/2005 10:18:07 PM
I hear ya, brother. I've been through a lot of that stuff in my life, and its tough.

One thing that really helps is to get back into the things you do that you love. Like, for me, that's playing drums, jammin with other players. One buddy of mine loves to fish, another plays guitar....Do NOT sit around moping when you could be doing something you dig.

When the next girlfriend comes along, do not let her distract you away from your favorite thing. Keep at it. Don't give up your life for her, she'll lose respect for you.

Also, keep your vulnerabilities to yourself when you're around a woman, unless she is someone you can trust 100%.

Will all the nice guys stop asking why we dont want them!
Posted: 12/1/2005 9:59:17 PM
I'm just one guy, but some women have considered me a "nice guy" and some have thought I was a "**stard".

I've never really had to kiss a woman's a*** to get attention, and I wouldn't. I assume they would find a*** kissing repulsive, just as I would.

I am no Brad Pitt or whatever, but I take no crap, and that shows, and is irresistible to enough women to keep me in tall cotton.

re Scottsmom:
I'm glad you brought up the whole aliens/eros/nasal topic, because normally people don't believe me when I tell them about it.

For me, it started shortly after an episode where I abducted an alien gal, and within a coupla weeks, well, I knew something was amiss, the way I over-reacted to Kathleen Turner....and those WICKED NOSTRILS!!!

Maybe you can direct me to a therapist.

Posted: 11/30/2005 12:56:15 AM
One nite we noticed a ufo screaming down toward Carter Creek fast enough to catch it on fire. Me and Herschel took off over there in his pickup and when we pulled up a family of beavers were towin the whole crew of skinny aliens to their beaver lodge where they proceeded to weave the aliens into the sticks and limbs comprising the lodge.

Apparently, most of the aliens had given up the ghost when their ufo crashed, except for one female alien, who refused to be woven, and was givin the beavers quite a tussle.

While Herschel kept the beavers busy with his post hole diggers, I grabbed the girl alien and run off with her to the woods.

I am not the 'kiss and tell' kind of fellow, but I can say that lovin that alien gal was no picnic, and it left me deaf on the right side.

what do girls think of bigger guys
Posted: 11/30/2005 12:03:56 AM
Okay, I'm 6' 3" and weigh 230, so I guess I qualify as a "bigger guy" and that does make me pretty impressive looking, along with some of my other visible, and also more subtle, attributes.

But it's the way I feel about myself that makes me attractive to those who find me irresistible, not just my big body.

I know who I am, what I've got to give, and what I'll put up with, etc. Some women find that attractive...Those who don't like me? well, that's why there are other guys out there.

People who let others dominate them out of insecurity are contributing to the disease. Don't play! Find a grown up, secure lover.

To me, lovers and friends are all of equal value. Neglecting either because the other demands it would be unthinkable.

I would like to know.. and I don't mean to be critical but.. your ideas....
Posted: 10/27/2005 2:45:56 AM
We gather in groups. That's one of the things we human critters do. It affirms our oneness, and the group increases the celebration exponentially.

Imagine the wonderful Jesus inviting us into his bright company for a soaring invocation of divine joy!!!

There is the beauty of the solo meditation, too. But the community, together!! Ahh.

The buildings, the churches are often part of the celebration. Sometimes humble, sometimes inspired architectural works of art.

Churches & religions may be flawed in many ways, but they are still the first sight of the world of the numinous for most of us.

back pain
Posted: 10/27/2005 1:16:40 AM
Please consider alternatives to surgery if you haven't already done so.

Twenty-five years ago, I was on painkillers and a candidate for surgery (disc) and found an alternative healer who recommended a series of exercises to strengthen my abdominal muscles. In two weeks my problem was under control!!!

I continue these abdominal strengthening exercises to this day, and my back is fine.

against religion
Posted: 10/27/2005 12:42:07 AM
Okay, okay, religion is here, and people have a right to do what they want. I'm not AGAINST people doing what they want, even if it's not something I want.

I have opinions about religion and spirituality, and the psychology of transformation, that are in effect for me. First of all, I don't think that somebody like Jesus ever had in mind that people would become something called "Christians". I think he was trying to tell people about inherent aspects essential in each and every one of us -- Love, Conscience, Radiance, Wholeness. When you "Sin" nobody is gonna send you anywhere. Sin just means you peed on your own shoes regarding freeing up your inherent essence.

And further, when our field of awareness is freely interpenetrated by these essential qualities, we experience an inner state he may have called Heaven. Those in Heaven have no need of exoteric rules - and no need of threats of damnation; in their journey toward Heaven they have already tasted hell, a place where essence is overriden by ego, the maker of rules, thus what we call religion.

And Heaven and Hell are not reserved as "where you go" when the flesh drops down. They are here, now.

I'm enjoying the maze brightness generated paradigm so alive in this thread, but let me add this, in case there is interest:

The scientist peers through his telescope and asks, "Is there intelligent life anywhere out there?"

The mystic knows there is nothing but intelligent life everywhere always.

The scientist is really asking if there are any more egos out there.

Just a thought.

GODS ABUSE OF HUMAN DIGNITY
Posted: 10/6/2005 1:24:05 AM
God is not a Big Guy on a Throne pulling strings like a puppeteer. God is the Love and Wisdom that is always present everywhere in each of us, fully available for activation by an act of our Free Will.

It seems odd to say it, but the ONLY WAYS we can exercise Free Will is by being wiser, kinder, more loving. Nobody who is truly choosing would choose anything less. Right?

For the mystic the only valid truth is subjective. The mystic is concerned with the inner world.

Out of compassion the mystic will attempt to share his perspective with others.

Frequently that sincere sharing becomes twisted, having fallen under the control of a "priesthood" who claim authority, thereby establishing and maintaining "religion".

While "religion" is usually a watered down version of the original teaching, it still serves the function of providing most people's initiation into the numinous.

Aren't we setting ourselves up for what we don't want to happen?

I see through virtually all the BS I see people serving up on these forums. Occasionally I say something, and don't really mince words unless you count a tendency toward irony and satire as 'mincing'.

Few respond to my comments in the forums themselves. But I get lots of mail from those who are afraid of 'exposing themselves' on the forums.

I'm older than most of the forum participants, and I'm sure that age-ism is a big part of the reason people can't handle my perspectives. The players like to retain a gamey context, even while complaining that it is the others who are the players.

Why do women sell sex?

"..where the women pulled on me from a hundred different bars..."

I was in Bangkok four times in two years, and NEVER saw that kind of behavior. The women were dignified, elegantly dressed, and beautifully self-possessed. But then, I didn't hang out in a "hundred bars".

I'm inclined to not believe you were in Bangkok at all, ever.

Why do women sell sex?

The post from Thailand above speaks volumes.

During my two tours in Vietnam, Bangkok was an R & R destination for me and many other GIs whose prime motivation after months away from women was to get laid constantly for the duration of the week.

In Thailand, being a prostitute is not judged like it is in westen puritanical society. It's just another skill for earning a living/supporting family. As a result, it was a delight for guys like me. These young women were our 'runnin buddies' for the whole week, and sought to keep us grinning for a fee that was affordable to us, and helped them prosper.

Better than a trophy wife any day.

What's with the 56 stuff? I'm 59, you're 38, and from my perspective life unfolds a day at a time. You say you're an artist/musician. So am I, and that's all still happening, along with relationships, drama, making a living, and nowadays even trying to share some of the things I've learned along the way.

In many ways life is amazingly richer beyond 56.

Maybe we're all gonna learn a new way to grow a soul. It'll be called something like..."Dominance through Indifference" and all of us will be so self-sufficient that we will never have to "put up" with another human being again, ever.

All the poor brokenhearted victims (of both genders) have their own space, their own income, their own TV with their own remote, a college diploma of their own that they earned by themselves, with no help from anybody, ever. No more "sharing" and "sacrificing".

It will be understood that love and affection, feeling tender toward someone is just a temptation, leading to being lied to and cheated on, and instead, sex toys will provide safe, joyless pleasure without risk of intimacy and ultimate heartbreak.

Medication is provided for every sadness, every anxiety, every uncomfortable perturbation of homeostasis.

For those who can afford it, a state of suspended animation for life, in which one is warehoused for the duration of life, away from any possibility of discomfort, physical or emotional.

"Taking a chance on love" will be politically incorrect.

I'm also one of those people who looks amazing and often get comments from women about how awesome, breathtaking, magnificent, oh so manly and exciting.....etc. that I am.

Women are always asking if they can touch my gorgeous hair, which is just a way for them to get close enough to breathe in a taste of my charisma....yet I often let them get away with it, especially when I'm in a playful and generous mood.

Yes, the age thing does come up occasionally...when they compare me to Sean Connery, who is MORE THAN A DECADE my senior, it is distressing. But somehow I abide.

Lots and lots of people have used astrology for thousands of years, and it has worked for them. Contrary to what some of those who are attacking it without any relevant basis for their attacks may think, most people who use astrology are intelligent, thoughtful people.

Those who discount and discredit without studying the subject in depth are simply parroting lines they have been taught by their masters.

Astrology has come down to us from times when humans acknowledged that they were 'one with' Mother Earth, the Sun, Moon and planets. Today, people are beginning to question a civilization that puts us into a confrontational mode with Mother Earth, and many are taking another look at astrology, and finding that it has something to offer them.

I wonder what it is in somebody that would be afraid of that.

No, No, No! Don't ask him "do you like me?" That's lame.

Say, "Do you drink coffee? there's a place I go. . Meet me there tomorrow at 5."

Face to face, YOU decide where you want things to go, and let him know, with SUBTLETY and he'll either GET IT, or not. Then you decide where to take things based on what you learn. If he's not interested, or doesn't get it, same net result.

Better take it slow on this one.

If he is really the kind of guy who only plays when he wants to get something, watch out. I've found myself in a couple of relationships where I was the only one with a sense of humor, and it sucks, baby!

On the other hand, maybe he's just in a down cycle, and an otherwise solid guy.
