WTF ? QUOTE(The Royal Sperm @ Aug 6 2008, 11:40 AM)
sorry...
Yes.
- you are taking his father away from him two times.
- his father is dead,
what you are saying is total nonsense.
you can't take something away from someone else two times.
because that person will only feel the first; the effect on her won't be there a second time.
so you can not take two times. but you can give two times.
Go swimming.
Programme your day to go swimming at least 45 minutes everyday.
Get a camera and search in your area for endangered species in the sea.
Learn to dive, and film it. Make documentries. Fill up your day with activities outside.
Everyday I go here:
http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=Magazine...anguage=English
and I pick up the card of the day, both on Zen tarot and transformation Tarot.
you can do the same, you will like it.
go to the water. that is a priority. you need 10 years of water.
I'm doing no less. and it is all that matters to me.
you will realize you have no breath, you will experience the same as me. we have no breath.
we realize we have been taking bad care of our breath.
we feel small and old. it's hard to swim 10 meters. we have no breath.
10 years, what a long time.
no way! it's little time.
what if I'd say 10 lives?
Why is everybody denying it?
you have all gone crazy, all of you.
crazy with greed.
look what you created.
you were trusted a legacy and you lied!
over and over, repeatedly
the industry grinds heart, no one else.
you people are insensitive, no one else.
one thing is to be ignorant and be caught badly in that ignorance, but remaining pure.
another is being malicious to serve vested interests.

The Chinese mystic's last surprise
Laughter is eternal, life is eternal, celebration continues. Actors change but the drama continues. Waves change but the ocean continues. You laugh, you change--and somebody else laughs--but laughter continues. You celebrate, somebody else celebrates, but celebration continues. Existence is continuous, it is a continuum. There is not a single moment's gap in it. No death is death, because every death opens a new door--it is a beginning. There is no end to life, there is always a new beginning, a resurrection. If you change your sadness to celebration, then you will also be capable of changing your death into resurrection. So learn the art while there is still time.
I have heard about three Chinese mystics. Nobody knows their names now, and nobody ever knew their names. They were known only as the "Three Laughing Saints" because they never did anything else; they simply laughed.
These three people were really beautiful--laughing, and their bellies shaking. And then it would become an infection and others would start laughing. The whole marketplace would laugh. When just a few moments before, it was an ugly place where people were thinking only of money, suddenly these three mad people came and changed the quality of the whole marketplace. Now they had forgotten that they had come to purchase and sell. Nobody bothered about greed. For a few seconds a new world opened.
They moved all over China, from place to place, from village to village, just helping people to laugh. Sad people, angry people, greedy people, jealous people--they all started laughing with them. And many felt the key--you can be transformed.
Then, in one village it happened that one of the three died. Village people gathered and they said, "Now there will be trouble. Now we have to see how they laugh. Their friend has died; they must weep."
But when they came, the two were dancing, laughing and celebrating the death. The village people said, "Now this is too much. When a man is dead it is profane to laugh and dance."
They said, "The whole life we laughed with him. How can we give him the last send-off with anything else?--we have to laugh, we have to enjoy, we have to celebrate. This is the only farewell that is possible for a man who has laughed his whole life. We don't see that he is dead. How can laughter die, how can life die?"
Then the body was to be burned, and the village people said, "We will give him a bath as the ritual prescribes." But those two friends said, "No, our friend has said, 'Don't perform any ritual and don't change my clothes and don't give me a bath. You just put me as I am on the burning pyre.' So we have to follow his instructions."
And then, suddenly, there was a great happening. When the body was put on the fire, that old man had played the last trick. He had hidden many fireworks under his clothes, and suddenly there was a festival! Then the whole village started laughing. These two mad friends were dancing, then the whole village started dancing.
It was not a death, it was a new life.
"The professor and his thirst for answers
One who goes into questions strays off into the jungle of philosophy. Let questions come and go. Look at the crowd of questions like you look at people moving on the street--nothing to give, nothing to take--with detachment, standing far away...
The more distance there is between you and your questions, the better. Because it is in this gap the answer will arise.
A professor of philosophy went to a Zen Master, Nan-in, and he asked about God, about nirvana, about meditation, and so many things. The Master listened silently--questions and questions and questions--and then he said, "You look tired. You have climbed this high mountain; you have come from a faraway place. Let me first serve you tea." And the Zen Master made tea.
The professor waited--he was boiling with questions. And when the Master was making tea and the samovar was singing and the aroma of the tea started spreading, the Master said to the professor, "Wait, don't be in such a hurry. Who knows? Even by drinking tea your questions may be answered... or even before that."
The professor was at a loss. He started thinking, "This whole journey has been a wastage. This man seems to be mad. How can my question about God be answered by drinking tea? What relevance is there? It is better to escape from here as soon as possible." But he was also feeling tired and it was good to have a cup of tea before he started descending back down the mountain.
The Master brought the kettle, poured tea in the cup--and went on pouring. The cup was full, and the tea started overflowing into the saucer, but he went on pouring. Then the saucer was also full. Just one drop more and the tea would start flowing on the floor, and the professor said, "Stop! What are you doing? Are you mad or something? Can't you see the cup is full? Can't you see the saucer is full?"
And the Zen Master said, "That's the exact situation you are in: your mind is so full of questions that even if I answer, you don't have any space for the answer to go in. But you look like an intelligent man. You could see the point, that now even a single drop more of tea and it will not be contained by the cup or the saucer, it will start overflowing on the floor. And I tell you, since you entered this house your questions are overflowing all over the place. This small but is full of your questions! Go back, empty your cup, and then come. First create a little space in yourself." - by Osho
