Marblehead Posted April 14, 2014 Which fish are edible? All of them are if cleaned properly. Some are tricky though - mess up and you poison yourself. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydog Posted April 15, 2014 In this case I'd look for what's behind everything. not really sure what your point is here. Like whether your trying to ask me to do one of those "DO I exist, kind of things" (which I didnt ask for btw ) Im just making my own point People have this idea/delusion that they can be completely independent of everything Like maybe it comes from tv or something In nature every organism is dependent on the whole. Like if I have money Im independent This is kind of wrong thinking imo 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon X Posted April 16, 2014 There is a season for all seasons. A season to contemplate by one self or with others, and a season to not contemplate with oneself or with others. I Am all for going off alone and communing with nature and cultivating oneself to reach whatever goal one has set. At some point being alone and cultivating oneself is most neccessary. !!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chang Posted April 16, 2014 We are all dependant on many things and probably many people. I would argue however that the more independent and less needy we can become the better. Such a state may even be likened to returning to the state of the uncarved block. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yascra Posted April 16, 2014 Hi you not really sure what your point is here. Like whether your trying to ask me to do one of those "DO I exist, kind of things" (which I didnt ask for btw ) Ehm, I think I did recommend you to practice meditation In the end that leads one to this Self which you will rely on. People have this idea/delusion that they can be completely independent of everythingNoonoo, that's not what I was talking about. Actually that conclusion is right the opposite of what I aimed at. Realizing the absolute is realizing the in-dependent. But realizing this doesn't work without realizing that things in Samsara (sorry for that buddhist term) will always rely on each other, and therefore depend on each other. So we're quite on topic, I assume 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Such a state may even be likened to returning to the state of the uncarved block. True, but there's also synergy. Where 1 + 1 is 3. We're stronger and better with the other. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nestentrie Posted April 19, 2014 To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, — that is genius. Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense; for the inmost in due time becomes the outmost,—— and our first thought is rendered back to us by the trumpets of the Last Judgment. Ralph Waldo Emerson. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted April 19, 2014 I'm not so sure about that one Nestentrie. Many people have been burned at the stake for speaking their latent convictions. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well Emerson did get caught up in emphatic language but good judgement still has a place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
