Sitting at my morning tea in sun, I heard that otherworldly singsongsound that flying swans can make. then two swans flew right over my backyard, pretty low, about 7 meters, so beautiful! like this one

Seeing, Recognising & Maintaining One's Enlightening Potential
blue eyed snake replied to C T's topic in Buddhist Textual Studies
In another thread i said that you are still gorgeous, but more like a soulquality, Maybe CT recognizes that too. and... these teachings are so good, but its what we do with them on the mundane level that makes them come true, and someone writing about them from that mundane level, makes the teaching somewhat more graspable, at least for me. love BES -
sigh...one more time of course i do, i just told you: never looked at starwars your observe that i think that i' believe i no longer use reason??? far from that, as I already wrote in my last post, for all your intelligence and having read far more philosophy as I have, you may contemplate to do a training in reading comprehension. shrug

see, there you go again, your observations seems to be infallible, but I draw the wrong conclusions, well, have it your way. that's a conclusion, not an observation. An observation is about facts, the moment a sentence comes up like: " you seem to imply " you're in the concluding mode I do indeed dismiss reason as the only tool of knowledge, i will never go back to that state of being, I'm happy I got out of it. But it's a useful tool for many daily things , not to be discarded. You' re concluding (not observing) that "irrationality is your preference for providing you with knowledge. " that's a conclusion that's waaay beside the being sitting here typing. But to be honest I don't care to explain that to you. You would not understand it either, our perspectives are just different, and mine will stay the way it is, probably evolving further in a way that you deem unhealthy, or even evil wish you all the best with your rational ways

see if I can get it with my inadequately thinking equipment, aah yes, It's a nice distinction. imagine me instead , lying in that one corner of my garden where neighbours can't see me, hmm. summer is coming closer, maybe in a few days i can lay me down there, to get tanned all-over. so it is, moralism is strictly for moralists the aformentioned beauty grazes in the meadow here, but you can see her only when you're not looking (now how did I get a picture huh , ain't that smart ) urgh.... could you please not post links to such revolting pictures again, that's neither a pegacorn nor natural beauty.

well, when it makes you happy to believe that you know whats going on in my mind on the base of just a few posts you're welcome. but first you write, in general: To go through life based on a lie is to refute life completely. It is to hide, to evade, to simply give up in an attempt to get through life by refusing to think. I would say that isn't a good, it is anti-life and therefore evil. I gave that back because i look at it from a different perspective. Now you ' soften it up' by telling me that I don't think adequately, that's pretty condescending. But again, if it makes you happy to act like that, go ahead. i go dreaming of pegacorns, like Marble ( but now of course, i'm writing absolute rubbish )
-
I need to sit down and talk you through this obsession with your assertion of my 'refusal to think' :-) it's completely incorrect. you've no idea what is going on in my mind, but I agree totally with a lack of understanding your mind.
-
I just knew it, a real american sage has pegacorns in his backyard, not only frogs and feral cats....
-
that's a matter of perspective, I might say exactly the opposite: to simply give up in an attempt to get through life by refusing to feel. I would say that isn't a good, it is anti-life and therefore evil.

she was trying to catch a large bumble bee, so funny to look at. My backgarden is mostly closed, she can enter through one hole between the gardens and under the gatedoor. So i want her to learn that my garden is not the place to be, just a walkthrough, she still young so I'll have a chance, especially because I'm almost always at home.
-
nice picture! I'll ask the owner of this small tiger to feed him better when the young uns are taking their first flight
-
You feed the cats???? but then you attract them to your place your own cats? or those of the neighbors? The nice lady next-door has a new young cat, the old one has gone to the eternal catnipfields. The young one may be worse than the old one, so it's time to buy me a new waterpistol, BES in action

any cats around?

today a pair of bluetits lightened my day, gathering fluff for their nest. Sadly no nests in the garden this year, but they can find a safe haven under my rooftiles. During spring I always hear the small birds chirping when I'm in the attic

thank you Stosh

living from the heart, but as in: the heart living through you. where heart stands for emptiness, one-ness, thereby generating compassion, unconditional love, Not even in my own language i can find words for it, but i feel i've come a little closer to the subject

(and) compassion (inbetween)

When you do things that you like, are you aligned with Tao?
blue eyed snake replied to Veezel's topic in General Discussion
remember when you were a kid, say 5 to 7 years old and playing you're favorite play. For me that was playing with sand, or doing hide and seek, climbing a tree, being an 'indian" and the other kid the ' cowboy' totally absorbed in your play, that ( to me) is being aligned with the Dao. for kids, playing is ' work' to me it feels like finding back that quality of being that I had as a kid playing, while I do the dishes, fold clothing, do my chores. At the moment I can't but for instance gardening can be quite easily be like play for me -

well, you're never too old to learn , btw, can you point me to a downloadable version of chuang zu? It's about time i start reading that, and it's easier for me to read from paper then from a screen -
two of these in my front garden, so beautiful and rare to see them. and for this region very colorful can anybody tell me their name in english? I cannot find anything but goldfinch, which is, to my knowledge, a different bird.
