nn >>it seems no-one has a good word to say about anyone else on this site, and everyone’s first assumption is that the other person hasn’t got a clue and is only one step away from being part of the problem. <>Why on a site dedicated to freeflowing energy and ease is everyone so very pissed off and difficult?<<

everyone? everyone?, don't let…[Read more]

Alaxander, the kora is a string instrument, sort of similar to the harp, but unique in it’s own way. it can be played in a variety of styles

shabd, toumani is amazing isn’t he?
i’ve seen a kora player from ghana live a few times and my whole body felt it.

another person i like is a guy from south africa called pops mohamed. most of his…[Read more]

have you ever heard the kora played live by someone from Ghana, senegal, mali or benin? that instrument goes very deep along a wide frequency range.

i’ve no doubt it does something to my cells

Freeform, thanks for the helpful advice. It looks like aspetics is the go.

I’ll throw you my email via the TB gig once I figure out how to do things on that site.

btw, if you want, just call me mat. black is my surname, and, in my creative genius at the time of creating a user name, i couldn’t think of anything better

To Jernej, thanks…[Read more]

D>>What if you see your self in others yet you judge your self and have little compassion for your self? <<

then, to me, your seeing is only partial because judgement is identifying with a fragment to the exclusion of the whole.

accept yourself as you are, then virtue can develop and compassion for others can follow

to me, seeing yourself in the other and the other within yourself helps grow the seeds of compassion more and more

Thanks freeform, for some some reason i cant’login to the taobums forum, so I just hang around and read the posts there.

treesinger, I appreciate your openess in offering your training log for everyone to see. i haven’t looked at it yet, but your comment:

TS**I wish there were other training logs I could look at to see how others progressed/learned/experienced these things,**

I think that the possible reason why so much budist terminology uses negative language can be understood by Gautam Buddahs’ life experience.

He grew up as an hier to the throne of a wealthy empire. Literalley living a life a of excess abundance wherein every material desire was satisfied. He never witnessed pain, sufering, sickness etc until…[Read more]

ff >when comunicating with people doing the hakalau allows you to relax and notice the person’s patterns – every conversation becomes facinating… when I tried this the first time – I started speaking and noticed that my voice was far deeper and more resonant than before… it turns out that often tense my throat when I speak, and this practice…[Read more]

seeing that little girl changed my life…….soooooo tiny….sooo much potential
fingers the size of matches.

TS >I’ll definitely keep her in my thoughts<

thanks so much,

i think it’s nice/helpful to use science. For example, my sisters’ 28 week premature daughter is being monitored and sustained by sophistocated monitoring at an advanced hospital for which we are very thankful.
But it’s eaqually important not be USED by science. ie, don’t always rely on it for validation of an hypothesis.

The conventinal use of the word evil usually carries many connotations, mainly from a formalised religious and or srtuctured moral framework.
I think much of this type of definition is fundamentally based on an initial judjment.
A judjment is made, which when comming from an already polarised attitude, further polarises a duality.
Then lables…[Read more]

I ordered from australia by phoning the number on the website and speaking to Nancy direct.

You might want to give that a try.

Alexander, you know I respect you, and reading that post to treesinger reinforces that respect. Very encouraging words mate.

One thing in particular that rang bells for me was this:

Hey TS,
someone asked me the other day to state what I would most like to achieve/get out of my practice and what would fulfill my life (my goals) I’ve never really liked answering that ’cause I could never specify anything. I prefer to just look short term. But for the sake of satisfying their request, after consulting my deeper self,…[Read more]
