“the probability that this universe is base reality and not a computer simulation is one in a billion” --Elon Musk I actually do not agree with this because, even as great a genius as he is, Elon cannot know all possibilities, which will always skew the probabilities. But, still his argument is fascinating:

Stop defining yourself.-- Jed Naropa

Your thoughts reflect against the surface of your reality which is a duality. Only through non-duality can you understand The Tao. --Paul Gongwang (very old hermit)

Hi Lima, Wow! $40,000 reward dead or alive! What would that be today? Somewhere around two million dollars? She managed to stay alive and proactive with a bounty like that on her head. Tough, smart, determined and most importantly--completely in the right!

Not a bad role model to have.

Do not avoid her. Harriet Tubman was exactly the person you would want leading you to freedom.

at the very least, someone should call the fashion police.

I get your point but, I still think it looks funny.

Always a pleasure, Lima, but, a red gi with an orange belt?

on-ca, We are all noobs. Some have just been at it longer is all.

Oh please

This may be his most famous quote. Most of us have seen it before. But I, for one, need to be reminded now and then. A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants. A good scientist has freed himself of concepts and keeps his mind open to what is. Thus the Master is available to all people and doesn't reject anyone. He is ready to use all situations and doesn't waste anything. This is called embodying the light. What is a good man but a bad man's teacher? What is a bad man but a good man's job? If you don't understand this, you will get lost, however intelligent you are. It is the great secret.” ― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

“If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything. In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, in the expert’s mind there are few.” ~ Shunryu Suzuki ‎

‎”The mental suffering you create is always some form of non-acceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgement. The intensity of the suffering depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment.” ~ Eckhart Tolle
