topically, yes

with teeth, topical treatment is a good way to treat. if needs be, oregano oil comes in capsules. Colloidal Silver also can taken by drinking it all up into the body via a glass of water liquid.

Organic Oregano oil, organic tea tree, grapefruit extract.. each and all very good for keeping an infection at bay.

Hehehe. I have been accused (probably rightly so) of being thick-headed, therefore great mass thus lots of gravity.

You telling me your head is weighing you down? Have you thought of taoist practices? They are pretty far out, but great for lightening the grip of mind... could be worth investigating..

Nothing contains everything, as everything contains nothing.

Hi Dagon, nice to meet you.

what you think of this.. the sea is waves, but waves arent the sea..

Any mass creates gravity. Depends on how thick your mind is as to how much gravity it will have.

Light mind.. yeeHA!!!

Mind is Gravity, so I've heard...

Cobra breath! If anyone knows it, and feels they could share it, I'd like to know it.

Just out of interest I'd like to know what it is.

Just want to say snowmonki , I sympathise with and respect your deciding to delete your posts.. and also to tell you that I'm glad I got them before they went, I enjoyed them, found them helpful and interesting indeed, and appreciated your input. thankyou.

Like a brass rubbing... an image of a person materialises through effort and friction.

Could be the same thing.

YeeHA!!!

the underlying goal is divinity..

yeeHA!!

Lovely. Decimal thing made me laugh.

 

Anecdote that just happened, a minute or two ago.

 

I (I'm using "I" and "My" in retrospect) stepped outside. My dad's wife came out, trying to get the dog to follow her outside. Dog wouldn't go, laid down in the door, wagging her tail and not listening at all. She asks me to call the dog. I do not call the dog... I do... something.

 

I made a strange noise and took off running. Dog follows instantly. Free happiness. Feel connected to dog, but there was no dog and there was no me.

 

It was beautiful.

ha, wonderful. tao in action. with the bonus of a strange noise, always a treat.

My first inclination is to say something involving "I" and "My".

My second inclination is to try to post without saying "I" or "My"

My third inclination is to not post at all, because I think that is the right thing.

My fourth inclination is to not interfere with myself.

My fifth inclination is to interfere with myself anyway.

My sixth inclination is to continue to fight with me because I think I am saying something.

My seventh inclination is to just run away with my hands over my head.

My eighth inclination is to not do that and remain.

My ninth inclination is to let go of "My".

My tenth inclination is to stop at ten because it seems interesting even though it is entirely meaningless.

 

Ultimately: a man is at a keyboard typing things.

Decimal even discussing wu wei! When does 11 get more of a chance, is my thought...

knowing when to act and when not to act is crucial.. there is no enervation in the concept of wu wei, neither physical nor mental, nor moral.

being in harmony with nature is far from a passive state.

As retired law enforcement, I could't agree with you more. The current system we suffer under is barbaric and punishment-oriented. Anyone with half a bubble should be able to figure out that those years could be actually input with positive stimuli - would work for some and not for others. But it would sure be an improvement over the current street-smart school that prison is now. On the good side, I've seen a few pieces recently on the news that indicate the awareness is starting to set in within a few penal communities and attempts are being made to rectify the situation.

Yes, tis painful. People say how expensive it is to keep people in prison, but I have also heard that the amount of people in prison, and the various work that they do, is economically savvy and akin to running a slave labour force.

Thanks for adding the good side.. always good to know.

How interesting!! I would love to know more about this, if you have any link, reference and so on...

 

 

I dont have any links, to long ago I found out about this.

 

In an ethical system where you are supposed to find your own compass about what is ok and what is not, a group of people who are just ok in harming other people are a problem not just to themselves but to everybody else, and to the system itself. I remember Bruce when telling us the exercise on how to develop our ethical system mentioning how some people are ok (really ok, not just suppressing the feeling ok) in doing everything, and how this was "a problem". Maybe that tradition did not solve this "problem". Maybe Lao Tzu was wrong and not everybody was born good.

 

Interesting about BF telling you how to evolve an ethical system... would this be different than the evolution of Te that happens via practice? Interested to know the excercise, if possible.

 

The psychopathic nature as it is recognised in psychology is one that has grown from a fundamental lack: the infant not getting required mirroring and eye contact and needs met, fails to develop the awareness of there being any Self outside of Own Self, through lack of experience of such. Therefore it is ok to do anything to anyone, as Others havent become real. So this says nothing about not being 'born good'.

A secondary issue is autism, and degrees of such.ie The failiure of external signals to reach their goal.. for example a child that cannot receive the love and reassurance he is getting.. the signals are too scrambled and the recipient too unclear in his own field. In this instance, as you probably know, the theories are manifold, many to do with toxicity levels affecting the brain, and nervous system, so that good enough mirroring is imperceptible. Mirrorring has to Writ Large, into a somehow tranquillised child, for signals to be perceptible. The toxicity levels theory has success with its prescriptions, which are based around extensive detoxification.( Again I dont have links for this info.)

 

 

Interesting point of view. Indeed the percentage of sociopath is not a constant in different cultures, so it might be measuring something.

Interesting about the sociopathic variables. Do you know more about it? It is less prevalent in closely knit communities I would imagine. If you think about how often people are aggressive on the internet, where they wouldnt be so in real life, you can clearly see at work what can easily happen to us when in an environment where it is all too easy to see others as not quite real .. same as road rage, where 'other people' turn into 'cars'..

 

Yeah, those wonderful Wal-Mart stores. Hehehe.

 

Fortunately I see few instances where everything is the same. True, at their core, many things are the same but in our 'reality' there exists this wonder of variety.

 

This is the root of much of my arguements in this thread. I really don't care how many people belive in Creationism and I really don't care what, if any, religion the members of this board believe in.

 

But I will argue till my dying breath against trying to negate a matter of fact for the purpose of forcing a myth into the minds of other people. This is, afterall, a Taoist oriented board and we all who seek understanding (I have a hard time using the word 'enlightenment') are supposed to be free thinkers.

Yes, if we truly knew what was myth and what wasnt, everything would be so much easier. If we actually knew what the origination of myth was, if we understood the very root of those ancient paradigms, wouldnt it be terrific. If we had access to profound shamanic awareness which could access deepest awareness and lost memories. Then we would understand myth, with an understanding way beyond the parts of the brain we usually rely upon, we would understand it in our cellular being and our higher selves. And with such understanding perhaps we could achieve free thought.

Hehehe. Isn't it neat that we each have our own individual personalities?

 

I love variety. Everything the same is so boring.

 

(Not trying to defend Blasto. That's his to do if he feels the need.)

Everything the same is so boring.

Hi Marblehead.. I havent come across a situation in which people dont have their own personalities or in which everything is the same, even in teenage groups where peer pressure is high and cliques the prevalent mode, all people are different, just as all kittens in a litter are unique despite their essential cat nature.

Where have you found everything the same, outside of chainstores?
