Re:We will see what an oracle isn’t and what I believe it is…
Why oh why do you read this . C’mon, people you should be crying buckets that your show is ending or having to wait for the ending in 2009 😛 😈
Who cares?
I’m not THAT diehard…
I had a dream RDM came begging at my door with a raggedy wife and kids and I gave them a valuable artifact and they threw it away, because it just looked like a stone; but it was the most valuable uncut diamond the world has ever seen. They cursed me for giving them a stone and derided me.
They then came back for begging and i kicked them to the curb after calling them the most ignorant people alive; and that nothing of lasting value LOOKS valuable. It starts in rough form.
You know, this is the fall of this family. When one does not see or appreciate what one has been given and listens only to fantasy non-based reality; you develop a cocoon of ignorance around oneself; constantly fed by loooove but yet not reality.
I’ll stand by that…. current events savvy….they may be…. but common stones they will remain; with nothing to polish against they cannot cast off the transient and retain (nor find with BOTH Hands) the true.
They couldn’t find the truth with a sonar/dradis combination.
What kills a great person, a great institution, a great civilization?
Have you not learned the age old lesson… re-vamped in the movie 300 recently?
Not outside forces. Not me, not anything outside; it’s the worm inside; it’s the Achilles heel,of everyone that destroys. The hubris,
the lies we tell ourselves, the refusal to see what is right in front of us.
From “On Attaining Buddhahood” And baby if you be talking Zen, you wll ultimately want to obtain it; or like many dabblers you will flit and float all of your life and never find peace.
“Unless one perceives the nature of one’s life, one cannot eradicate one’s grave offenses.”
“What grave offenses,” you may ask.
“Are you kidding me? Everyone has had bad thoughts, words and actions about themselves and others. Lifetimes of them.”
The “nature of your life”, the pattern’ what you go back to. Do you get angry and lash out, do you despair, do you ridicule others, do you bargain with life, or unfairly treat others. Do you get arrogant, insultive, defensive? Do you lie, or pander to others?
These can be a part of our true nature… if we don’t see it, how can we change it?
These traits are not for your betterment, they will kill you one way or another.
unless you find your inner worm, your inner hook, you will not stop creating bad causes, and sooner or later you will succumb to the evil or innate darkness in your own life.
Glossing it over will not help you in the long run, at all.
