: : : : : : gnome floating in it!

: : : : : : Doc M

: : : : : Tay-KEE-la and Rogaine comin' up....and no gnomes in this bottle. Now what you DON't want is leprechauns backstrokin' in your liquor. Talk about an aftertaste...

: : : : : an' it seems to me, the logic of this Buddhist thought is that all things that are good probably also originate from the divine,from higher consciousness and creation so they are also, 
: : : : : in essence true. But there also be things in the world that are true i.e. they exist, but they are not good, or evil, so always knowin' the truth is not necessarily knowin' the divine. So rather ye should seek goodness, cause in searchin' out goodness ye'll also the truth that comes from above. 

: : : : : Excuse me, i know wenches shouldn't be spoutin', but I found that "Highlander's Guide to Eastern Thought" in me trunk and thought I'd give it a go...

: : : : Bang the gong and give the lady with the red hair a see-gar!!
: : : : That's it!! Try to seek goodness within yourself and around

: : : : Mysteries of the Loincloth!

: : : : Doc M

: : : Hey girls,

: : : Let me get a whack in on that horse. Is he dead yet? 

: : : I haven't read tons on eastern thought, but I seem to find some truths, *for me* (OK,OK or my perceptions there of...) in many religious beliefs. Kind of a "Nobody's got it all right, but we're all trying?" But one concept I find applies to most, and that's the Golden Rule (no Doc, NOT the "do unto others BEFORE they do unto you" one), the "treat others like you want to be treated" one. My daughter would be rolling her eyes about now! To keep from embarrassing her in public, which I wouldn't want done to me ; -), when she's not acting courteously, we have a code phrase..., I simply say "GR, honey", and she straightens right up (or stomps and growls and parades off as far away from me as she can get). These little code words or phrases really work pretty well, like "meep-zor" means "stand up straight, and suck it that gut". See, no embarassment! Oops, back to the GR...it can be applied to everything we do, even each of the Ten Commandments (Don't kill anybody, 'cause you don't want to be killed...Don't worship other gods, 'cause if you'd created the earth, you wouldn't want your creations worshipping something/body else),AND if you can get through a day doing that then you can sleep at peace each night (unless you start thinking about the folks that might be practicing the *evil-twin* GR). 

: : : Let me see now...where was I trying to go with this!

: : : OK, while on our journey for truth, if we are "good" to one another, we've done all we can do in this life toward achieving unity. And I don't think we will ever (in this life) know the truth, because then why would we exist??? The search for truth, the search for unity, the search for total goodness, might be why we're here.

: : : OK Red, I'm ready for another!!!

: : : Diana S

: : ***************
: : Hey, Diana!  I'd join you for a brew, but I have to go to a Jr. Hi football game.

: : I believe some find the Truth at an early age.  I believe if you know the Truth, or a good portion of it, unity with each other isn't that big a deal.  Unity with the Truth becomes much more important.  I believe we were put here to love.

: : My path in a nutshell.:)

: : Hey, what happened to the "Dana" thread?  Y'all get tired of seein' my name plastered all over the screen?  I left in on all day yesterday just to look at it.:)  

: : Dana S.


: Well Doc M, Diana and Dana! Compatriots in the quest for the higher plain! Mighty happy to have ye join me...
: corn squeezins' all around????? :-D
