Passing the hat around for Gossamer

[Mal]

Thanks Albion you are a good man too.

 

We can fix this together, everyone's helping

[Pietro]

Hmm, this message is not what I sent. But I have lost the original. The message included a quote from Albion post, which have remained.

Instead of deleting the whole post I just added this disclaimer.

 

********* what arrived******

 

 

 

Dear Dao Friends,

 

Tonight, I'll be getting a copy of 'Nine Nights With The Taoist Master' from my wife as a Christmas gift.

 

I'll do the exercise that Stigwerd suggested, if you all determine that is the course that I should take.

 

My real name is Albion, and Stigwerd knows my real last name (I believe) and so does YaMu (for sure).

 

I did NOT get David fired, David got David fired.

 

He had been spamming pornography on the hospital's computers since his early years there, long before he met ME.

 

Not to mention, he was running (literally) his own "telephone company" out of the hospital as well, this too, had gone on for a very long time.

 

Now, hacking private medical records which his job allowed him NO access to, is a violation of the HIPPA Act, and is a felony.

 

Him using *my* Social Security number came directly from that.

Well then my brother, I have the faith that you apparently do not.

Trying to help some more...

 

I suggest not talking about this in public forums from now on. Just drop it, and only speak of it in person or on the phone.

 

If I was someone obsessed with stalking someone, if I saw these reactions from them I'd keep at it. But if the person dropped it, I'd get bored. So I think if you just give it no energy anymore, it'll help.

[Wayfarer64]

Actually, if it was me, I would decline, but depending on the energy of a person, the treatment could be free. It's a matter of tradition, and not a matter of money. The fee has to come from a ready student. If the student is not ready for whatever reason, then they are not ready.

 

 

that is true but may be not entirely relevant...

 

We find what we need when the time comes for it...

 

I for one have been unemployed since July- applied for food stamps on November 12th and am still waiting for an initial appontment.(nowgranted on Dec 30th-7 weeks later, and another 30 days may be added before any $ is granted)...

 

 

I have written to the press and to my elected officials about that situation and now have appontments with other elected/ appointed officials trying to quiet the press interest in this situation...Taking charge of one's own problems is usually the best course of action.

 

Which, as far as Gossamer's situation goes... I have questions about- who is the attacker and what are his reasons -or lack there of - for his malevolent intentions? why can't we face him down as a group without paying someone to intervene?

 

If we are a society of sorts can't we combat evil together, as a brother/sister hood of compassionate intent and activity?

[Stigweard]

When your garden is attacked by noxious pests you have a choice:

 

A. Attack the pests with all manner of pesticides.

B. Nourish the soil and the plants to make them naturally more resistant to pests.

 

What do you think is the best for the long term health of your garden?

[Wayfarer64]

Gossamer-

 

Now I am confused..These actions by "David" are actionable and illegal- bring legal forces to bare-down on him and be done with it... Use your own political power and rights to deal with him- If these things are being done press charges!

 

also the Colazapan you write abouit is what my friend who tried to commit suicide takes -so it is much more than a muscle relaxer- it has psychotropic applications/indications as well...mostly it relaxes the brain -not the muscles- used to calm the nervous.

 

so I say this whole thing is not ringing true to me - if it is a real set of problems that you discribe take real action and confront him in reality as one who has been victimized by him. Sue him or get a big friend to "lean-on" him, but take responsibility for the situation as you see it and address it as a human being with real life options. asking a distant Taoist priest to intervene this way just seems foolish to me.

 

sorry for the "tuff love"- I have sympathy for the trauma that has been induced by this miscreant -but it is what you have to deal with - face it and deal with it- we can help and obviously many here will try to help- but lets do it in reality and as a natural out-growth of our networking, not as some cosmic push-back that will only create more negative energy...

[gossamer]

Dear Wayfarer,

 

I promised Stigwerd that I would not speak about this on the forum again, nor would I think about it in my own mind, and if I DO, I need to recite the first chapter of the Dao de Jing (Tao te Ching) vocally (out loud).

 

I think that this is a totally FAIR thing that Stigwerd has asked me to do.

 

Don't YOU?

 

I'm a man of my word. I'm honestly NOT trying to cop out on you Wayfarer, please talk to Stigwerd and he will tell you, that I'm telling you the truth.

 

Thanks for listening!!

 

And as for the Clonazepam ("Klonopin"---the brand name), I have really bad Fibromyalgia, please do me a favor and look that up. Okay??

 

Clonazepam is one of the only things that will treat "Restless Legs Syndrome" (one of the things that almost always goes along with chronic Fibromyalgia).

 

One could use to use Quinine (a much more natural substance), but they took it off the market here in the United States, UNLESS one has *Malaria*.

 

That's the ONLY thing that it's now proscribed for here in the USA.

 

 

 

Peace, gossamer/Albion

Clonazepam is one of the only things that will treat "Restless Legs Syndrome" (one of the things that almost always goes along with chronic Fibromyalgia).

 

Have you ever tried high doses of magnesium malate (up to bowel intolerance) right before bedtime?

Just curious; not suggesting you do so.

[gossamer]

Dear YaMu,

 

No, I haven't, would that help do you think?

 

Is it a 'suggested' remedy for Restless Legs Syndrome' YaMu?

 

I'll take a look around the internet about it.

 

Thanks!

Does help.

Also for some odd reason, sleep on a soft sheet ie. flannel, poler fleece or some such fuzzy material.

Odd but helps. I am a fibro~rat

Didn't read the whole thread but if you need any tricks for stuff am glad to share!

UPDATE:

 

I want to personally thank once again to all those who have stepped forward to express their virtuous spirit in this matter.

 

Please excuse my delay in progressing this venture to the next step but a couple of questions arose that demanded careful consideration. My concerns where to evaluate whether this was truly for the highest good of everyone involved.

 

As you know I have contacted everyone who has expressed their support to hear how everyone felt about this matter. I was heartened by the response of solidarity from each and every one of you.

 

To set my thoughts to rest I consulted the I Ching to guide me further in this matter. Here is the result:

 

40 ~ hsieh ~ Thunder over Water ~ Dissolution of the problem

 

GUIDANCE: "The friendly direction is the Southwest, from whence comes the strength of dissolution. If one wishes to go forward in a new, correct way, early movement brings good fortune."

 

In this hexagram, Thunder is above Water. Although Water in the form of ice is the obstacle, Thunder has the strength to break through it. The first sound of Thunder in Spring proclaims the time of melting ice. Thus, a promising time is beginning, like a breeze coming from the warm Southwest.

 

After obstruction comes resolution. The guidance of the previous hexagram, Obstruction, is to keep still and gather energy, but Hsieh indicates that the obstructive force has started to diminish and a new cycle is beginning. This is the right time to positively dissolve all problems.

 

Personal Fortune: This is the time for you to cheer up, take action and get out of difficulty.

 

~~~

 

The signifying line in this Hexagram was Line 5:

 

"Dissolution is brought about by the virtuous one. His faithfulness makes the negative forces recede."

 

The fifth line unites with the second line in order to resolve the great problem of removing negativity. Only by being faithful to each other can a cooperative solution to the problem be discovered. The disappearance of negativity is proof of success for the virtuous.

 

~~~

 

With your generous show of support along this reading all my concerns have been truly cast aside and I am 101% confident that this is indeed for the highest good of all concerned.

 

That said, "Let your contributions roll in!"

Stig,

 

I am eager to help with whatever money is necessary but given the conditions as I saw in this thread they would be - in my opinion - a total waste of money.

 

First of all because, according to Mr. Mak post, money are necessary to resolve a karma issue of the person involved in the 'transaction'. In which case I can't see how can he want money coming from other parties.

 

Second because I don't think Mr. Mak can be of ANY help, but of course that's only my opinion.

 

Third because if the issue revolves around the problems discussed in this thread (sorry if I have missed more explanations) it is very easy to be solved: if somebody hacked my PC and I know who that is do I need a talisman to stop him ?

If that is the whole thing - I am sorry to say - but I find it ridiculous

1. Money from other parties, could be a problem perhaps...unsure

 

2. Again perhaps, but if someone "believes" it will help I think it will.

 

3. Usually easy to fix, but after this amount of time something "more" may be needed to put the mind at ease.

 

Perhaps this is a total waste of money. But I've wasted more than this on CD's I didn't even listen to all the way through.

 

So I'm happy to try to help however I can.

Ask, and it shall be given you;

seek, and you shall find;

For whoever asks, receives;

and he who seeks, finds;

and to him who knocks, the door is opened.

The way I see it is Gossamer wants help in a form that he can unconditionally accept and about the results of which he can easily form a positive expectation (don't we all;-)?)

 

'Cosmic stuff' is way harder to analyse 'rationally' for most people (except Taomeow who I would love to hear from on this topic ;-)) and so people can allow it to operate on the levels they want/need.

 

This is just my opinion, of course and I'm also in favour of using any form of intervention that has documented results, including psychotherapy, nutrition, I guess even meds on the short terrm (although I read something recently about medication that I found problematic - if you stop using them then you're back to square one.)

 

The other suggestion I have for you Gossamer is to become a student of your problem. Educate yourself on it, what it is, what it is not. Ask questions about what is going on. Kind of like leading your own scientific investigation.

 

That would be my call. Wishing you all the best,

 

Kate

I hear you YMWong, you have made a worthy observation. Do you think Gossamer should make a contribution, however small it is, to the process?

 

Second because I don't think Mr. Mak can be of ANY help, but of course that's only my opinion.

 

You have the right to have and express this opinion. The question is:

 

"Where is the healing really coming from here? Is it Mak Tin Si alone? Or is it the united surge of loving kindness shown unselfishly by all those who have committed their intention?"

 

Third because if the issue revolves around the problems discussed in this thread (sorry if I have missed more explanations) it is very easy to be solved: if somebody hacked my PC and I know who that is do I need a talisman to stop him ?

If that is the whole thing - I am sorry to say - but I find it ridiculous

 

YM

 

Yes the surface issues are Gossamer's PC problems. But is that really where the problem lies? As I have mentioned over in the Magic thread, if you want to change the physical reality of your life then change the fundamental elements of perception that created this physical reality.

 

That is the true direction of this working, not just to resolve the superficial symtoms but to deliver a deep heart level healing that will sweep through and resolve all the obstructions and difficulties.

 

And here also is the truth of the matter. Gossamer isn't the only one being healed, because such a uniting of love that you witness here emanates out and provides nourishment for all involved. I can truly admit that participating in this has benefited me immensely and on many levels, even if it just getting the satisfaction that I have done something to try and help someone else's lot in life.

 

So regardless of what you think of Mak Tin Si, if you believe in your own Taoist 'magic', if you believe in the power of intention, and if you believe that a united expression of love from a group of developed beings can effect positive change in the world then there should be no barriers in the way of you joining us on the Honour List.

 

Mak Tin Si may be the brush strokes on the paper, but the real power comes from the vibrant virtue shining forth from these generous TaoBum hearts.

 

So what say you YMWong? Do we have your commitment? Will you join your fellow TaoBums in this gift of healing?

[Aetherous]

If that is the whole thing - I am sorry to say - but I find it ridiculous

 

I agree. No offense meant to the generous bums who have donated. I love you all.
