Jackie Wilson ‘Higher and Higher’

This is a gathering of Lovers.
In this gathering
there is no high, no low,
no smart, no ignorant,
no special assembly,
no grand discourse,
no proper schooling required.
There is no master,
no disciple.
This gathering is more like a drunken party,
full of tricksters, fools,
mad men…[Read more]

Are uncorrupted people interested in sinister things? Since most people are interested in “sinister” things [Are hero/villain tales told for the voice of the good or the bad? Look at how much time is spent on demons vs. angels in Hieronymus Bosch’s visions of heaven and hell…], I found it admirable that you were uncomplicatedly frank.

Beautiful…

“Nature is unkind:
It treats the creation like sacrificial straw-dogs.
The Sage is unkind:
He treats the people like sacrificial straw-dogs.”

“Tenderly, I now touch all

things,

knowing one day we will

part.”

What concerns me, too, are the unconscious shadow projections involved. There is a possibility, too, that people may become dangerous enough to be around that one must leave for one’s own safety.

I think that this is a good answer. You see the difficulty/difficulties? Sam Keith wrote Zero Girl to explore a lot of interesting dynamics such…[Read more]

Tanya Stephens & Shabba Ranks – These Streets ( Still Dre Riddim )

HOWDY: Actually the most immediate problem is that persons who are representing themselves as renunciates are not at all that.

*Likewise, I get tired of being patronized.

People talk about “killing” their feelings, sexual or otherwise, for instance, which seems to be an obvious metaphor for suppression. Thus, when you suggested that…[Read more]

>>>Please don’t sugar-coat things for me unless your heart says otherwise.

“I haven’t, as you asked me not to.
But there is also a place of respect to where you have to allow others to evolve…[Read more]

I’m not judging your behavior. Also, you haven’t talked about it–in the context of HOWDY’s original topic, which I thought relevant to various other postings lately and to my own life, lately. You don’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, imho…

Q: How do you know what is natural and what is unnatural? How to judge…[Read more]

P.s. if you think that being called a “Taofucker” is an insult, please think about it and that.

Steven, I thought you weren’t fond of ad hominem arguments. I’m interested in your experiences and wisdom. It’s a little boring when one likes to discuss other’s issues and not their own. I explained months ago that I have anger. What does that have to do with my question? Feel free to email me at Zighamilton@gmail.com if you’d like to…[Read more]

The life-force always gets its way, huh? Can you give me examples of times when your unnatural behavior caused you to realize that you had fucked up, and so on?

How could I love my fellow men who tortured me?

One night I was dragged into a room

and beaten near death with their shoes

striking me hundreds of times

in the face, scarring me

forever.

I cried out for God for help, until I fainted.

That night in a dream, in a dream more real than this world.

Only for this, HOWDY, will I bow to the Buddha:

…when you suppress what is natural, the unnatural emerges…

Personally I must admit that I’m interested about many sinister things, but there are in the end many limits.

HOWDY

Do you, Steven, advocate suppressing the “unnatural”?

Purification

The Buddha teaches that suffering is not a random phenomena, no more than it is handed out by a superior divinity. In reality, individuals are responsible for their own destiny, reaping in one life the product of what their deeds in a previous life [or, perhaps,…[Read more]

Steven,

Another excellent post. It’s not agreement or disagreement that I’d like to share. I’m attempting to make enough sense of life to practice it 24/7, in the way that comes to me–that I like best…

Remember, I wanted to know what was in the dungeon that needed the medicine of tobacco… I was willing to do a version of the…[Read more]

And the same for you 🙂

Please don’t judge either my pain or how deeply that I may need to feel it. Thanks for responding in helpful ways, along this road. Truthfully, I’ve been a mouse wanting to impregnate a tiger not even in heat, to use the words of “Hafiz” channeled by Daniel Ladinsky….

Gender and sex issues, yes. Trauma, yes. But much more than that,…[Read more]
