A funny thing -- Prior to watching the Eastwood film, I had gone on a sort of James Bond film festival, so it occurred to me that both Bond and The Man with No Name are both sort of really psychotic killers that people look up to -- I could picture them both in their basements acting out Robert...

Oneness does refer to the whole. Try this: think of the universe as a human body. In the human body, all the cells work together to make the whole thing run, they are all part of the one. But when you try to compare us humans to our cell equivalents, we aren't all working together as part of...

I think what leads people in this general direction is an underlying, or perhaps not so underlying, feeling that what they've relied upon in the past has not worked, be it faith in religion, faith in country, faith in themselves, whatever set of ideals, values, fundamentals -- indoctrinated or...

No apologies needed, and feel free to jump in and ask questions. And I have an example of "thought" gone awry that I think is very simple. A friend went to a local restaurant, it happened to be a Mexician-style Seafood restaurant, in what we will call Small City. This friend came down with...

As I'm sure Mr. Burns knows, there's no process, no training, no multi-step program to follow. If you go back to the "Interview with God" thread and read some of what Mr. Burns wrote there, it might give you a starting place --particularly what he writes about conditioning. To borrow from his...

Thank you for kind words. Of course, this is only the start of new journey for me. So much has ended and so much more has not worked. I'm way past due for a reassessment. So the timing of this conversation couldn't be better. As for oneness, I think some of us run across it by accident...

Mr. Burns, Was reading up on your Mr. Bohm. Indeed, a quantum physicist who was connecting the dots between in the inner, and the outer, and the human. The closer you look, the more the lines blur. However, I was particularly interested in his "Dialogue" process. It was curious to read...

I relate more to the gopher. :D

I'm not sure I can give you a good response right now, Mr. Burns. I was reading about 20 pages of Krishnamurti yesterday and --I can't say I'm thinking it through, because that's not it -- but I'm still experiencing it. It's hard to explain, but it's like an internal chain reaction of...

I will give Mr. Bohm (or Dr. Bohm if that be the case) a google later today. I have to go have a conference with the little one's principal this morning and hash a few things out. I'll also give you some thoughts on the "zen" thing (as good a word as any, I suppose). Let me know how you...

Ok. First, watching that "Interview" reminded me of Stuart Smalley's "Daily Affirmations." Second, my initial reaction was to post this, so I will: God (Take 1) (Ian Hunter) God said to me "Gonna kick your ass - 'cos all you do is ask ask ask All that energy looking for me when I'm...

Stand back everyone! I think I'm having a flash-back! I was just browsing the "Interview with God" thread and suddenly, I was back in time, in a very different place, reading the brilliant words of my chum Abdorinbo! It was so unbelievably refreshing! See what happens when you can spark Mr...

Mr. Burns, how I have missed you! That's a compelling thought for a Monday morning and I shall ponder it over my coffee.

I was reading an interview with an essayist from north of here (where they grow wine and liberals), and even though she was a born-again Christian, she was still fearing for the planet's survival for the next few years, going so far as contemplating a move to Canada, as if that is far enough...

Can Dubya even spell Bounty Hunter? I'd better not say more or I'll be accused of being political. :rolleyes:

Hello Crystal Dear. Hugs to you, too.

Ya know, I read this, and the most horribible thought passed through my brain: "'Assault on Precinct 13' -- the new musical by Ben Elton!" Can you think of anything worse?

I thought I replied to this last night, yet somehow my response isn't here this morning. So I'll say again: "That's only too true."

A poem dedicated to little ol' me!?! I'm so touched. And it's a brilliant piece of work. You capture the delicate essence romance with lines like: From a girl who once had read a book but couldn’t remember which, You’ve had a thought or two I know I tried to teach you how, and, of...

Hello, Billy Dear! Lovely to see you! :) Carpenter's "Halloween" theme gives me chills every time I hear it. It brings that film right back to you, and that movie was flippin' scary first time I saw it! Poor Jamie Lee in the closet! And the theme from "Escape from New York" is so...
