is this sucker for real!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men (or just knowledge from books alone) couldn't put Humpty together again. and from the Bible: "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing."

it says a lot of different things, where does it say that?

met a guy who swore he saw a bunch of little gray aliens close by when as he was outside late one night! (near a small town in southern Utah) Btw, there was a report of technical problems taking place at underground U.S. ballistic missile site at the same time of UFO sightings.... "Public claims by Robert Salas In August 13, 1996, the Great Falls Tribune published an article about Robert Salas and his story of a UFO report associated with the Echo Flight malfunction.[6] Robert Salas had been a 26 year old Air Force Lieutenant during the 1967 malfunction.[6] According to Salas, on the night of the malfunction, he was assigned to the underground capsule at the complex.[6] According to Salas, a security guard on the surface contacted him to report flying objects in the distance doing strange maneuvers; Later, guards reported seeing a glowing red object hovering above the front gate.[6] According to Salas, minutes later the complex's ten Minutemen nuclear missiles went offline.[6] The red object reportedly disappeared and maintenance crews took a full day to restore the system to operational status.[6] In the August 1996 piece, Salas denies being a "UFO junkie" and doesn't suggest extra-terrestrial involvement; He further says he wants to find answers to the mystery, requesting anyone with information to contact him.[6]"

the higher one goes the more instantaneously karma can kick in; btw with the flood gates for evil overflowing lately here on earth one may wonder when its karma will give it a kick? ""God" does not interfere with human events", except when or for instance....?

I see there are kits for adding a riding mower to one's boat, could help for long trips like yours

umm, many Buddhists not unlike many humans have various vested interests and will not give such up, even if leading to battles or wars. interestingly somewhere in Buddhist doctrine (i don't recall at the moment) the historic Buddha spoke of even giving up Buddhism (after it served its purpose) anyone out there have examples of that happening ? Same deal for most all religions under the sun....

there are more cars painted in various shades of gray these days, he didn't say anything about black which I've seen painted on the exterior of modern homes which to me seems to give a prison compound like vib. while black cars have a bad ass vib.

oops

I'm not up on a lot of that stuff you've mentioned, I would say that any fine teaching and or pointers do not expect or encourage blind faith as a replacement for growing first hand experience that takes one beyond gnawing doubts! I'd say chapter 21 below of the T.T.C. is more than just handed down rote repetition but a shared witness that we can also appreciate on whatever level we can feel or relate to it (especially the last line) and or that which are also found in other fine teachings: "IT lies in the nature of Grand Virtue To follow the Tao and the Tao alone. Now what is the Tao? It is Something elusive and evasive. Evasive and elusive! And yet It contains within Itself a Form. Elusive and evasive! And yet It contains within Itself a Substance. Shadowy and dim! And yet It contains within Itself a Core of Vitality. The Core of Vitality is very real, It contains within Itself an unfailing Sincerity. Throughout the ages Its Name has been preserved In order to recall the Beginning of all things. How do I know the ways of all things at the Beginning? By what is within me." btw I'm not the enemy here to disprove and neither are you, if something I mention is of use fine, if not then we should agree to disagree...

Well I'd say again that Source or Self is not a particular this or that thing going through gain or loss, Prana/Light springs from the Self and then all follows in multiple levels of manifestation...btw such is not my philosophy but to me that alluded to by realized Sages/Masters down through the ages. Their unbound realization ultimately matches a knowing beyond regular knowing that they are not just a particular this or that thing with designs of its own (ego) or limited to whatever local form or matrix that has taken shape in comings or goings in time(s) and space(s). Why, well I'd say "why" can not really give or get an answer beyond speculations....while the power of Unconditional Love needs no conditions or a 'why' that can be nailed down by mental means. Good day Bindi.

an oldie but goodie, here is another one:

its not all bad, the subconscious can sometimes sort out and or solve problems when the conscious mind can not. (which can be part of what is going on with loops)
