roflol---Isn't it hilarious! It's like being on speed for a couple minutes.
Yes, Koan. Unfortunately I cannot read and keep up every day even in a CFS world. That's why I loved the beginning of this thread. It helped me deal with that fact.
Could you private message me if you know a forum, Yahoo group, etc. that is a peaceful non-provocative place to learn and discuss the Buddhist path.

Maybe they ought to close the other thread (so it stops confusing people) and move its new posts over here (before there are too many)?
Over here, over there, this one, that one, there is no this or that . . . all is one . . . where am I?
. . . where am I?
You all seem so brilliantly wise and brain functioning!
fresh eyes wrote: Once on a (Zen) meditation retreat I had a flash that "eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil" meant slipping out of the eternal-present-moment, just-this, only-don't-know mind, into the dualistic mind that says yes/no, right/wrong, I like this/I hate that, This is good/That is evil. Don't know if it's true (!) but it made quite an impression on me at the time.
I'm glad you found my suffering amusing.
Fortunately I found an antidote.
Dreambirdie and Jody, consider this my gift to you:

Four minutes and forty two seconds guaranteed to drive "the llama song", and you, out of your minds.
If you haven't seen this before, consider it my revenge.
ETA Don't worry Lucie, we'll get back on topic again eventually... All things pass...Except for the "fish heads song" posted above...
