   time to get a grip on the spell checker. lol.   
      
   do you see the dharma-karma now? can you discriminate between right   
   action and wrong action? what is the measure? relief?... do you feel   
   better when you know what we have done to this world and yet, look   
   around, see all those cars and airlines... no one cares. tell them   
   they will die of cancer in two years and they freak, find the lord,   
   give their heart to me, be nice, mend fences... but tell them in two   
   years they will be ripping one another a part in an circle of Hell and   
   they are like... hey man, live in the moment, it is all good.   
      
   the Jews want us to rip the world away from their cold dead fingers   
   and i think we should do it... or allowing things to continue peter...   
   what thought is right here when it comes to compassion? mercy?   
   salvation?   
      
   non action can, at times, be wrong action. but do you think there is a   
   karma to it?

   what is bored peter? can awareness feel bored? it does not require   
   conscious object and in fact is the absence of such that is the   
   feeling.

   good destroys evil. evil destroys evil. neither good nor evil destroy   
   good. be good.

   now you get it. they are drowning. what do all rescuers know peter? as   
   much as you want to get in there and be the hero, if you get to close   
   they will drag you down. sometimes, you have to give them a swift hard   
   kick to the face. sometimes peter, you have to let them drown....   
   before you can save them. "did you see that mable? that devil just   
   kicked that boy in the face... what an asshole."   
      
   > we pull you out of that fire, that corner where only darkness,   
   > frustration, hopelessness and despair have found you...   
      
   no one understands peter. enlightenment has never gripped an entire   
   world before... but then along came this internet thing. the weather   
   you have created is not what is going to fuck you up. the world, as it   
   is, is. wpb may have a point. can you look on ugliness and disgust and   
   not turn away? isn't that what you are training yourself to do?

   hahaha... me thinks his holy spirit is filling... let go of the cup   
   peter.

   "unh." nice set up, excellent delivery.

   the battlefield is in your mind peter. as master tang says, it is   
   mental. when i get bored i start thinking about magick. now whether or   
   not i enact a spell, it has already effected me. my perception. and my   
   perception molds what i see. but it doesn't change the physics.   
      
   odd isn't it? as Tim you see one thing, as Wet Paper Bag, you see   
   another. why is that? you read tang there and you are all jumping up   
   and down and begging for admiration and yet here... you see monkey and   
   laugh... but here you cry...  like standing in two places isn't it?   
   there is nothing between them but the tao.
