With me on my porch

Too-Dee-Li-Pip smitten new

Dancing in the wind

Dancing in the wind

punctuation had nuance

it changes the dance

For too sensitive 

A myriad of things

not just one only

not just one only

five seven five is better

myriad choices 

deafening silence

a spiritual graveyard

for too sensitive

electricity

powers dianshi big lies

truth veiled trickery

Halagrian world

emotions and shadows play

no radio here

nature's softest cue

every moment is art

forgive yourself now!

Clouds whisper, who knew

their secrets drift to dawning

nature's softest cue

way up in the blue

it is one hell of a view

Clouds whisper, who knew

Soon I will be soaked

I'm coming unglued in mist

it must be the beer

Nice trick to match that,

Mojave's old rocks respond

Solitude embraced.

still, a sight to see

I got tired of myself

maybe more later

Lakes in the desert,
Mirage whispers of cool blue,
Deceptive relief

 Basho waking up.

Dawn whispers secrets of life

Ink blooms on paper.

Look! Ryokan’s window

Silent snowflakes whisper truth

Stoic pines do endure

It's not about time. 

It's not about saliva. 

You create ling sui. 

When you have opened shit up, it has only one way to go. 

That is funny, good try though.  Golden Elixir is the combination of saliva, hormonal fluids, and external essences that when mixed together become the Elixir. Saliva has long been considered by Taoists as a key component of the elixir. Some Taoist texts recommend swallowing the saliva up to 1,000 times a day to promote physical healing. Many hundreds of years ago Taoists became aware of changes in consistency of saliva that accompanied certain meditative practices. They learned that by combining saliva with the hormonal fluids and essences released during non-ejaculative intercourse a powerful elixir is formed. Taoists believe that this Golden Elixir is not only a physical healing agent, but also is a major transformative agent in preparing for higher spiritual work.  But, again, we are just touching the surface here.  Please tell me more than just using arbitrary terms pulled out of a book or some hearsay.  Please teach me how you opened your shit up?

If you study immortality, 

You should study celestial immortality:

Only the golden elixir 

Is the highest principle. 

When the two things meet, 

Emotions and nature join one another ;

Where the five Agents are whole, 

Dragon and Tiger coil. 

I love it! Quoting Wuzhen Pian to me, wow!  Please tell me what it means. But, please no surface stuff going on here.  After you have opened the channels necessary, tell me how long you need to hold the essence before you permeate your saliva with it and how long you need to hold that saliva, before you swallow it, oh and by the way, please tell how you need to direct it and over how many years( on average)  Heres' a hint--- many thousands of times and you have to have the proper focus and attention to certain details. or---- 

Of course you know all of that or you would not have given me that quote, so, please I am your student, please instruct.

Okay, got to play fetch with my dog.  I use a headlamp in the dark, my dog "Apollo" loves it.  His eyes glow in the dark like a cats'.

He still manages to track the ball better, boy, is it fun!  Be back, whenever.

I even dropped the hint. Do you really think it takes a genius to know how you were going to respond. You took the bait...

 

I already have you figured out, many of you at that. I could speak to "you" without having to actually speak to you because i know everything you'd respond with according to anything I say. I'm not trying to be condescending, i'm just being honest. Do you not think that's what happened in the mona lisa thread? Every potential response was obvious, so i just played it to my advantage just as you all believe you do unto others. Fair play.

 

 

I didn't report anyone. I'm actually curious who reported Mr. Grey. It means some people do have common sense. Also the mods themselves reached out to me and warned me, so stop crying about how it's one sided

 

So you're basically saying i'm harmful, being opposite of benign right? That's been your sense of judgement from the beginning. I don't think anyone would agree with you in saying i'm harmful. It takes poor judgment to reach for that conclusion.

 

 

Stop pattiing yourself on the back, you haven't figure anything out.  Though, you are trying to, and I give kudos for that!

No one is talking about one-sided, that is a projection of linear thinkers.  Figured many of us out here, hey!  I bet you heard that one before in the bad old days!  Eh!

This was way to easy with challengers so far.  I need to attend to other things now.  But I will be back in a day or so.

Warriors are needed here too!  Try not to lose the balance!  It is hard, I know!

                                            Take care and be well all!

Speaking of fallibility, I’ve got to share that I regret the posts I made earlier in this thread.

 

I genuinely did not mean to equate Earl and his friends with Trump and his supporters in order to insult or degrade anyone but I see how it would seem like I was. I was simply trying to make a point about how we each have our different realities and it seemed like a powerful and obvious example. That analogy, and my comments about Earl, were clumsy and careless. I was in a bad place mentally at the time due to some personal challenges at home.

 

To be clear, I don’t disagree with the action taken. From a mod’s perspective it was necessary. I do regret making matters worse with my impulsive and inconsiderate comments. I felt it necessary to get that off my chest and I offer the board, and my fellow mods, my sincere apologies.

 

🙏🏽

I have always believed your sincerety, you are a good guy who is trying.

I even gave you the opportunity to say anything else. ANYTHING... Made it straight in your face obvious what your response would be. You didn't even think to question what your automatic response did you? As expected.

 

SMH

BTW, welkin, since I believe you are a prolific reporter, that has even got some mods into believing you are benign, please report me!

I even gave you the opportunity to say literally anything else. ANYTHING... Made it straight in your face obvious what your response would be. You didn't even think to question what your automatic response did you? As expected.

I love it, when you talk about how you knew it all in advance, please do more, just to establish your ironclad credibility.

Your mind is already made up. I already know every answer you would give no matter what is said for the next 3 responses in order. So i respectfully refuse to answer. And I already know how you're going to respond to this one. Ironically, your second request just got answered.

 

 

Welkin, I expected something escapist from you, thank you for not disappointing!
