triestestudent Posted December 23, 2009 Hello all, First-timer...feeling uncharacteristically shy...hmmmmmmmmm. Uhm...since i woke up in the amrit hours and can't seem to feel tired enough to go back to bed thought i'd check in the lobby. Seems right to give some background. i've explored some of kundalini yoga, been initiated by a few gurus (insatiably curious that way) of the Sound/Light variety, took refuge in Vajrayana Buddhism and just like to keep eyes and ears open. The goal, as of late?...surrender, pay attention and accept what is as is. There has been a change...a continuance of awareness and quicker realization when the attention drops. Intention is to keep learning and remaining open. Ciao, g P.S. Ever watching the film, Moon, i can never look at emoticons the same way. i think that was the name of the film?

Marblehead Posted December 25, 2009 Hi Triestestudent, Welcome! May you enjoy your time here. The goal, as of late?...surrender, pay attention and accept what is as is. Yes, that is an important concept in Taoism as well (within certain limitations). Peace & Love! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More of an agate? i feel the need to clarify that when i write surrender and accept what is as is this doesn't actually imply complete passivity paradoxically enough. As i sincerely work on detoxifying through undertaking the chigong exercises under the guidance of a wonderful teacher the intention is also to be far more open to Tao and what i regard as Dharma. This place looks like a lovely school where i can learn from the rest of y'all. It feeeeeeeeeeeeels wonderful to just keep learning and being open to sharing what others have tried to help me understand in this lifetime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
