Hello

I was lead to this....

Tao Teh Ching / Lao Tzu

" The greatest perfections seems imperfect,
and yet its use in inexhaustable.
The greatest fullness seems empty,
and yet its use is endless.
The greatest straightness looks like crookedness.
The greatest skill appears clumbsy.
The greatest eloquance sounds like stammering.
Restlessness overcomes cold,
but calm overcomes heat.
The peaceful and serene is the Norm of the World."

anxiety must be so difficult to 'pickup' in another ... i mean , like wow , quite the talent you've been given there.

you keep looking low shephard ... good luck with that bloke

but , especially , thankyou ,

for laughingly hypocritical techniques used in attempting to paint a picture of my inability to 'FEEL' whilst you slid away hurriedly from your (closed ?) minds perception of things.

extremely funny actually , given your aggressive stance towards other posters 'spiritual paradigm awareness ' sharings and your self defensive comments regarding personal attacks towards 'your type' of open mindedness instead of communication.

boringly funny in fact.

can you feel it ?

Oh the irony LOL ;0)

Awww, well if you are happy with your agenda with this post then good on you. I'm happy with where I am too so hopefully that makes both of us.

You have your views and I am sure they feel right to you, whether they are or not is another matter.

Hello Lamont Cranston,

We have a choice as to if we remain engaged in converstaions that we deem hostile or aggressive, We can choose to turn away . There is nothing wrong with realizing that you are getting nowhere with a person or persons that you find abraisive.

If they do have issues, as you suspect, they are and remain their issues. You can simply ignore them. To them it will seem like ignorance , but that once again is their issue.

It does not matter how much a person jumps up and down, froth's and spumes or otherwise attempts to ram home a perspective. You don't have to listen.

I totally agree with this. Thanks Neville

It's interesting isn't it that we all show to some degree our humanity on this site. Judgements, assumptions, manipulation, care, compassion, misunderstanding, agendas, hypocrisy, wisdom, knowledge,dominance, weakness, ignorance etc

These are all parts of us and we all have these within us which can manifest at various times, these IMO are the self evolving, you can call it the true self, or label the parts that are negative as the false self but since there is a benefit from each experience in my view it is just the whole and through interaction we get to experience for a moment part of that. It would be a shame though to judge someone from a brief moment of themselves which is shown. Whilst this is natural we can use our minds to step back and look at the bigger picture to see what else there is to explore.

Shepherd: Are you the same person now as when you were 5 years old?

If yes, what remained the same?
If no, then who are you?

I don't tend to focus on who I am now but who I am enjoying being and evolving into. So no I am not the same person I was at 5 nor was I the same person I was this morning either.
