So how do you see your future self differing
from your present self? And furthermore,
why does it differ? If you can feel your
way around these questions, further
breakthroughs may be possible.

Smiles to you,
Steven

Well, she’s definitely flirting with you.
Maybe she is hoping that you’ll ask her out!

If you are interested in her, no harm in seeing if
that is indeed the case 🙂

Best,
Steve

Good question.

The only thing I can figure is that the universe is
trying to give me the “opportunity” to practice the
skills that I’m learning.

I think it is testing me to see

1. If I can remain calm and patient in the face of difficulty,
especially since ordinarily I tend not to be a patient person.

2. How serious I am about…[Read more]

it’s a good thing I chose to leave early,
or I would have been driving too fast . . .

and better than I can do.

It’s funny because I showed it to two very good friends.
One could only see it go clockwise, the other could
only see it go counterclockwise. Moreover, each were
totally convinced that it was a trick and that it
didn’t actually go the other way.

Steve

I was driving carefully actually.
That’s why I made it home in one piece without
having any real problems.

When you copied the post, you got the functions of
the left and right brain switched . . .

Left Brain is the logic, math, science side
Right Brain is the imagination, feeling side

As to my results:

For me, I can make it switch direction, but when it does
it stays in the new direction for a long time
and it takes a concerted effort…[Read more]

>Unless you operate against your true nature and use your vagina to manipulate or overrule your heart for many other reasons.
Yeah, but this can cause so many problems. It can kill your spirit
and make you feel dead inside. It can make you end up resenting your
partner. In the end, you’ll end up being worse off then you were before!

>It is not easy to break up a relationship where there is still love, support and understanding.

I know. Sometimes that is the hardest thing one can do!
Even when deep feelings within still exist, the two people involved
can be stuck in a kind of inertia that ultimately just boxes you in.
Actually taking the initiative to make a change on…[Read more]

Welcome back Wendy . . .

I agree.

Anyone who thinks that “sex is a duty” doesn’t get it.

The real issue is that if you are in a relationship,
you should put the relationship first. If you are
not willing to put the relationship first, then you
have no business being in a relationship!

A person so in to themselves that they are…[Read more]

Not that I’m defending Ken Wilber, because I know nothing
about his beliefs, but the author’s article is a complete
joke. It is filled with straw man arguments, equivocation,
hasty generalization and several other logical fallacies.

Here is just one example:

He seems to be confusing a critique of “meditation” with
“TM” or…[Read more]

I think that that had part to do with it.

One of the things about the film was that it
was cut so that repeatedly through the movie, like
every 10 minutes or so, it would cut to a screen
of text that would say “He who does not give up
all he has, can not be my disciple.” Then it would
cut back to the film and show a scene that was…[Read more]

This last article was really interesting actually.

Thx, Steve

So ultimately your goal is to be able to eventually have
humanity change all spiritual knowledge into physics and medicine?

S

Thank you for saying what you said.

I don’t respond to a lot of Intelligence’s posts,
not because I have anything against him, but because
more often than not–I can’t actually understand what
he’s saying!

Not that he’s speaking jibberish necessarily, just
that I don’t have the background to understand, and
moreover since I don’t…[Read more]

Hello All,

I finally finished watching all of the special
features/extras that come on disk 2 of the film.
It took some time, because actually there is just
as much on the second disk to see as there is on
the first disk–if not more!

It is fantastic actually, and well worth seeing–
as it, in total with the movie, helped paint…[Read more]

Hi Damon,

You should like it. It’s quite good actually for
what it intends to do.

Very meditative . . .

Steve

I can’t speak for bagua; I’ll let him speak for himself,
as I don’t want to put words in his mouth.

However, let me give a few impressions that I have that
I have gained from this discussion . . .

Suppose through whatever means a person engages
in–while in this physical realm–some change or completion
occurs on something that we…[Read more]

Hey Jason,

I do agree actually with most of what you said on a personal level!

Bagua’s posts had led me to believe that he considered activities
external to the Tao Te Ching to be superfluous and ultimately
unnecessary (just my impression). Meeting him from a common frame
of reference, I was trying to present an argument as to why…[Read more]
