Well I'm sure some Taoist's are into all that Yellow Emperor stuff i.e Have as much sex with as many women as possible without losing any jing! Perverts!

What the hell was that all about? OK someone's going to tell me he's a Taoist master, right?

What's Kunlun? HAHAHA

They are as follows: 1. You can shit yourself 2. You can go insane 3. You can laugh My master told me this as he sat on the toilet laughing hysterically while listening to ABBA!

The venerable master sat for many hours / years and then:

I have taken on my masters mantel! I am now potty training!

I wish!

Hey there's absolutely nothing wrong with water sports!

Well you might be right but I doubt it. Yes there are people that just don't want to work and screw the system but they're not exactly living it up. There's also people that don't work because they see the error and hypocrisy of buSINess and caPITalism. I haven't got an answer but then again I'm a bit of a misanthrope! Here's another angle of the capitalist agenda:

Err where's the pic gone? I miss all the fun!

That is exactly what this vid suggests:

I can relate to your experiences and understanding. 1991 was a pretty intense year for me as I jumped off the cliff and had a whole bunch of mystical experiences. 1991 also happened to be the 100 year anniversary of H.P. Blavatsky's death and I thereafter spent several years studying Theosophy. Prior to 1991 I was reading the Tao Te Ching and engaged in longwinded conversations of a philosophical nature. A few years ago I arrived at Tibetan Buddhism and although I'm not religious something about the imagery of TB caused a deep stirring. What I once thought, as a teenager, returned with a continuous flow of insight. Needless to say I had to switch it off as it was doing my head in. Hey when everyday the truth gets deeper and deeper and you perceive the fractal nature of things you have to pull the plug or end up mad. Hence my signature: "Getting closer to the one is divine madness, Getting closer to the self is divine bliss." I think the reason we're here is to remember and learn again. Of course there was a time when we didn't know there was anything to remember. We have fallen from peace, bliss and love, but hey it was a fun ride! Now we have to disentangle ourselves and journey back to the peace, bliss and love. Of course all things are relative yet we all eventually tire of the human sphere and yearn to return to spontaneity. So we live on but some of us are working on being released from this sphere. I follow the Bodhisattva way which means I stick around until the end of the current cycle, it's a bit like doing overtime! One of my favourite quotes is: "The first shall be the last and the last shall be the first." I don't think many people can become enlightened but all people can experience Nirvana. Once people have been guided to nirvanic bliss they are ready to move up even though they don't necessarily understand what is really going on. This is the difference between transitionary beings and immortal beings.

Drawing distinctions just polarises and entraps the mind in duality. Duality is an illusion but the mind persists in it's striving to cancel out the illusion with the illusion. Hence why the sage is like a little child. The yin yang diagram explains this. There is no black and white there is only the flow / cycle and then there is just the circle with a point in the middle and then there is just a circle, or perhaps just a dot in the void. Ultimately there is nothing but the consciousness of the growing foetus reappears cascading down building layers of illusion. So what is the answer? We flow from nothing and flow to nothing, it's just the flow. We are all crossing the ocean of samsara. "Saṃsāra or Sangsara (संसार) is a Sanskrit and Pāli term, which translates as "continuous movement" or "continuous flowing" and, in Buddhism, refers to the concept of a cycle of birth (jāti), and consequent decay and death (jarāmaraṇa), in which all beings in the universe participate, and which can only be escaped through enlightenment."

Cool tune! Although I am a cat! Tink I'll be posting dat to face.

LOL Luving it luving it luving it!

I have in the past as I used to be a sound engineer, years ago, but I gave it up as it was too stressful. I'm quite happy to make tunes bung them on YouTube and forget about them. Gone are the days when I used seek acknowledgment, fame fortune etc. I actually hardly do any music these days but I should at least some of my older stuff on the web. Here's an album I did about 7 years back, more of a dance style: http://www.esnips.co...ope-religiosity Anyway thanx for the thumbs up.

This is so funny that I had to post it here!

That was me and a friend just mucking about. There's another one of our tunes on the "What you watching thread".

More like a couple of bottles of wine, or ten!

Really need to sort this mix out but I have no motivation to do music recently, more like years really! This is the pudding mix!!

Here's one I made earlier! Did this last year with a friend of mine.

Absolutely, there's nothing wrong with enjoying a meal but we need to keep things in perspective. Sometimes a simple bowl of rice can be the most fulfilling meal, no pun intended!

I believe all these protests are the beginning of the true 2012 effect! Yes of course the climate is changing etc but it's the enslavement, hypnotism, of the masses through the machinery of vanity and greed, buSINess, that's really screwing this world up. People have been zombiefied through the media to become consumers and nothing else. Unfortunately for those that-would-enslave some of us are immune to hypnotism and have always been trying to awaken the masses. Even now most people are only really complaining because they can't afford that holiday or a new car but hopefully they will realise that tempering their desires can lead to a more harmonious life experience.
