Confused,

Did you know about the site keepvid.com

It allows you to save youtube videos.

Confused · 10-21-2011, 08:23 PM

No, GW. I did not know that. Thanks for letting me know that, my dear brother. Love you Heart

Yes. That is a very good one.

Compassion is the wish to offer unbiased service to all beings, whether they are friendly or hostile to you.

The capacity to devote yourself to the welfare of others yields otherwise unobtainable power and potential for good.
20 Oct

As compassion grows stronger, so does your commitment to the welfare of all beings, even if you have to act alone.

Awesome Confused for that LOO Kung Fu video. 3D, thanks for the followup else I'd have missed it.

Putting a name to it is a form of contrast, because then we can compare things to it.

Choose, YESSS he said it! Making a choice is excellent way to express ourselves.

Each thing we name, and set apart, the whole of creation becomes denser.

Dalai Lama is on Twitter! LMAO
Gotta love this guy. Thanks for sharing!

Hope and fear are both phantoms

Have faith in the way things are.
Love the world as your self;

Dear Confused,

Thank you for posting the link to the Tao. I've downloaded it so I don't have to come here to find it if I wish to read.

You are a blessing in my life, dear Confused!

Love and light!

All praise be to the unfathomable Tao/ONE. We are a mutual blessing to one another, dear Ruth, as we combine to serve as humble channels of the great ALL spirit. Let us sing its praises together. Smile

It's awesome Confused. I think I'm starting to see signs of 4D. Walls are rippling, and beginning to see lots of cartoony faces in them that smile at me Smile

I do not know what it means, GW. However, it seems you are progressing strongly in your spiritual development. I am very happy for you.

AnthroHeart · (This post was last modified: 10-22-2011, 02:25 PM by AnthroHeart.)

Well, I see cartoon faces because I have resonance with them, great appeal. I also see angry faces, and disappointed, and such because I trained that. Because I went through a wide array of experiences, my 4D experience will be much more vibrant and I'll learn a lot more the lessons of love.

Actually I think I'm still in the 7D subdensity of 3D, now in the 4th sub-sub density. That's why I'm getting some effects of what would be in 4D. 4th sub-sub density of 7th subdensity, is similar to 4D, but less intense.

Listen, and it can’t be heard.

Above, it isn’t bright.
Below, it isn’t dark.
Seamless, unnamable,
it returns to the realm of nothing.
Form that includes all forms,
image without an image,
subtle, beyond all conception.
Approach it and there is no beginning;
follow it and there is no end.
You can’t know it, but you can be it,
at ease in your own life.
Just realize where you come from:

The ancient Masters were profound and subtle.
Their wisdom was unfathomable.
There is no way to describe it;
all we can describe is their appearance.
They were careful
as someone crossing an iced-over stream.
Alert as a warrior in enemy territory.
Courteous as a guest.
Fluid as melting ice.
Shapable as a block of wood.
Receptive as a valley.
Clear as a glass of water.
Do you have the patience to wait
till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself?
The Master doesn’t seek fulfillment.
Not seeking, not expecting,
she is present, and can welcome all things.

Great video, thanks C.
I am wondering though, how they could be aware of the results of the experiment with out the observer?
There has had to be someone to observe, else they would not now, would they? Tongue

Confused · (This post was last modified: 10-23-2011, 12:16 PM by Confused.)

Thanks, Meerie! If only everyone is blessed with that commonsense, may be we would not need this rigmarole of a creation in space/time. Smile

Confused · 10-23-2011, 12:59 PM

I am not the doer. The Tao is.
-> may I add... neither is the Tao. The Tao exists and you exist. No body does anything Tongue

From the Tao:
"Practice not-doing,
and everything will fall into place."

Confused · 10-23-2011, 02:00 PM

It's true. And if you don't like the way the pieces fall together.... Well, you aren't very Tao Wink

Have you every contemplated how fast we actually DO return to the state of soil? It's really fast.

Confused · 10-23-2011, 02:04 PM

I will keep that in mind next time I need to subtly insult someone
"well you aren't very tao, are you?!"
Are you talking about dieing? Soil?

Confused · 10-23-2011, 02:08 PM

Yes. Dust to dust. Where all the pieces eventually end up.

Heck yeah. a few minutes to an hour here, could take a million years to manifest in 6D. It's because of the veil.

Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings,
but contemplate their return.
Each separate being in the universe
returns to the common source.
Returning to the source is serenity.
If you don’t realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
you can deal with whatever life brings you,
and when death comes, you are ready.

Conifer16 · 10-23-2011, 07:55 PM

Confused, that sounds very much like how I am operating in life. Scarily so Smile

lol -Conifer16- Adonai Vasu Borragus have a great day/night people's Smile

oh and I am getting very amused with Human drama, and I feel great compassion for those who are still stuck in Human drama. Like my mom. She doesn't understand why I am not stressed out with life or how I stay happy in the more cruddy situations in life. And she thinks that I am pointing out her flaws and saying I am perfect when I try and explain how I am doing it. All I am trying to do is help. But I have come to realize that sometimes to help someone the best thing to do is respect their free will and let them suffer, they will stop suffering when they are ready. I explain it better I think in the :Gaddafi is dead: thread.

That is absolutely a gem of a statement, Conifer16. I am very proud of the younger generation of today. The children of today are the best teachers of us 'adults'. You are defining the world and the future. Keep it up. Some of us grown-ups are still with you Wink

Thank you for teaching me too, the importance of personal responsibility. Smile

Ruth · 10-23-2011, 10:26 PM

Yes, Confier16, you are absolutely correct. Well stated!

Conifer16 · 10-23-2011, 11:12 PM

Your welcome. Smile

recently I have been having a whole slew of fascinating incites into life. And it has been a joy sharing them. And just now my grandmother(60 years) said she was feeling so sad and crying a lot and so I was just myself and she said that I had cheered her up greatly. Smile

so yay. I love being able to cheer people up it is so fulfilling to see someone light up because I have made them happy. Smile

-Conifer16- Adonai Vasu Borragus oh and wish me luck for tommarow. I will be going to the GED program at my local collage and there is a girl I think is really pretty and I am going to try and start a friendship with her because that is the feeling I get when around her(that she would be a great friend) so we shall see how it goes. Smile

jeez I am bubbling with happiness and confidence. It is awesome and I want to spread it to all so I send to you reader joy and happiness Smile

may your life be filled with awesomeness Smile

Conifer16 · 10-24-2011, 02:00 AM

Concerning time and getting old and on our way to return to dust...
I just read a statement of a 97year old woman. She was featured in todays paper, they had a photo of her watering her flowers and smiling into the camera.
She said, that she had had many ups and downs during her life and that she was grateful for all the experiences. Then she went on to say that she had never feared getting old, and that she had always been interested in the universe and creation and was proud to be a part of it all.
She is totally tao! Very impressive.
Edit: besides she looked really young, I could have sworn she was not a day older than 77. BigSmile
