Hey, Pietro, wanna start a new forum (take 3, lol)?

Hey, Pietro, wanna start a new forum (take 3, lol)?

 

You heard me, mate.

 

Some people act because they want to reach immortality,

some people act because they want you not to reach immortality,

and some people just act.

 

I can't help it's my destiny, my call, my dance.

 

Com'on buddy, we'll have some fun;

Give me 6 months to prepare the software:

It's going to be in python+mysql;

Spartane, non standard (and thus no spam).

 

And a new engine inside that I have been thinking all along all those years.

 

You're up with me, Max?

[Smile]

 

You heard me, mate.

..........

 

You're up with me, Max?

Sure. Sounds like a cool project.

I have a couple of VPS and other complete anonymous alternatives, if needed.

One forum can't be everything to everybody... that's a good idea... it could be time for take 3. Speaking of which, what's Plato up to these days? Anyone chatted with RJ recently?

Speaking of old/former members, Cloud recluse was always insightful, Peter Falk also.

I also remember Father Paul fondly, bless him. His final dialogue with Lin was truly touching, I'll see if I can find it.

In the light of fresh info, I stumbled upon a new theory.

It's a possibility...

You all are well aware that the world-wide program of gradual intoxication has reached higher and higher rates.

The air we breathe, the food we eat, the water that we drink.

The way that we think and feel.

The way we act.

Our models and values in life.

 

Not too many have good knowledge about it.

The "dyno's" of the TTB had the advantage of finding out about these in time. And as lazy as they are, or would be, they step by step developed some kind of ressistance regarding the use and abuse of this-now toxic environment.

Many of the new comers may be just victims, unaware of what is happening to them.

The efect of toxics is very much present in the level of consciousness that one can have and express.

Hence the present level of the Forum.

 

It's a really sad theory

[Wayfarer64]

Welllittle 1 -that is interesting-

 

Toxisity may be a factor... like any virus or flu - it spreads through contagion, where are yr oxigen masks indeed!

 

But NO! We do have a bubble of fresh air here - created by good will and brotherly/sisterly love - as all is one in the Tao!

[Brother K]

Interesting as a very new member it seems to be good and I am enjoying the conversations so far, you get dramatic lulls in any group. So we must think of ways to spice it up then and keep things interesting for everyone.

 

What sort of things do you want to talk about? post topics and we will see if we can get people to discuss them.

like at one time there was a back-to-the-vedas movement in hinduism, gautama buddha refined that,

and lao tze re-refined way. back to the basics every time. natural law prevails. breath of fresh air every time.

Hey look, a pattern

[Patrick Brown]

Not sure about pattern more a drone! When something outgrows it's usefulness it gets left behind otherwise it just becomes a waste of energy. Wasting energy on pointless discussions certainly isn't the way of Tao! This is a Taoist group right?

[zanshin]

oh my, how time flies

gleaming frost as dawn begins

sun woke up, brown now.

The sparrows depart,

before the snow starts to fall,

it is cold and quiet.

Really? I have no fricken idea >.<

juicy snowflakes fly

splashing into your windshield

Lights out and the stars on fire.

Blood striped and boiling desire.

Lights out and the towers on fire.

What is hope at the peak of the spire.

 

Lights out, the dragons spitting fire.

Climbing ever higher and higher.

Lights out and the worlds on fire.

Burning away the wanting desire.

[Aetherous]

our breath is like the mist of the morning

reflecting the golden streaming light on mount kailash

descending from heaven as a gift

with steam rising from our cups of tea

smiling

green and bittersweet

smelling like honeydew

in this moment we are friends

our bodies are like vibrating cotton fibers dancing through the gentle wind

held together through love alone

our bellies are filled with the warm ember of life

radiating forever

reflecting the stars above

our feet touch the black soil

we kneel and nurture the sprouts

getting dirty

diving into the river

bursting and resting
