The movement and waves can be a lullaby like being rocked and lulled. i love that and have used it for many decades. It doesn't make the storms disappear or go away, there will still be storms, but there is always safe passage for me, i rest in the calm that is always available to me within any storm. i love that.)

"Use-by date"-- Cobie-- "Yeah, that so did not help." Gautama stated that those who correctly practice “mindfulness of death” apply his teachings “for the interval that it takes to swallow having chewed up one morsel of food”, or “for the interval that it takes to breathe out after breathing in, or to breathe in after breathing out”. (The Early Record) All you have to do is apply the four Nikayas in sixteen volumes "for the interval" that stuff goes in or out of the holes in your face (hopefully the one morsel only goes in), and you will know the "true (person) with no rank" intimately! like a metaphor mixed or a cookie dough with chips got to bake it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
