sleeping in separate bedrooms is an easy and hugely significant improvement that couples can make to improve their mutual health since it improves sleep quality and reduces mutal shared breath and the concomitant viral exposure : o)
with today's viral holocast and continual infectious exposure i would really recommend it : o)
relationship quality presupposes health, declining health will nix relationship quality : o)
be sure to keep adequately warm in a separate bed tho : o)
i can tell you what the story is with dogen, but you just won't get it, it's the same with martin heidegger and jacques derrida, in their later years they started to understand the limits of prose for what they were trying to say and moved more directly into what was traditionally known as the mystical viewpoint of an eroded, but still, almost magically coherent self identity : o)
in dogen's case he moved closer to the position of basho, that is, where basho started, he was approaching and had he lived longer we might have known of him as a great poet that like basho we could have read and understood...............!
but those stupid zen shills just pass around poor translations (if it is possible to make the meangingless more meaningless !) of his writings as though they mean something, and only show their own vacancy and stupidity pretending the emperor has clothes when all that is displayed is diseased and scarred skin : o)
if you dig a ditch with an excavator (back hoe!) you are doing something that everyone understands and you are applauded for your constructive social role :o)
however with this writing
the identity of the one who understands is eroded............... so people get peculiar or avoid or react, sometimes surprisingly savagely...... the list could go on : o)

if you are thinking about being careless or jumping into uncharted waters, the universe always has some lower destructive state wanting/waiting to swallow you up and consume you
that doesn't necessarily have to happen, you can get lucky or are a good helmsman,
but mostly it's more than fraught : 0 )

adoptee comments should be understood against the back drop of there is no such thing as a natural child, all children are strangers to their parents

lol, the childless give the best parenting advice : o)

i think the future is very unclear and it takes alot of discovery to work things out : o)
you need to be very wary of developing relationships with adoptees
the problem is you can't see the birth parents
what you could see in them may be very indicative of super major issues in their birth child
life is a tragedy but you don't want to make this sort of tragedy your own : o ( !
you can often see the child more clearly in the parents than in the child him/herself !

cursive is technologically obsolete except as a computer font, there is in fact a high cost to the child to teaching something beyond its developmental age !

every person is given a shifting crystal ball at birth. we turn it this way and that - amused here, puzzled there. the crystal itself never changes, just reveals its many sides. look at it, but put it aside and just be, for now.
joe laforsch replies
evan, as far as you've deciphered -- what is the meaning of our existance?
evan shaw replies
to unfold our innate potential, with patience
brad pringle replies
the meaning of life is to be happy.
my reply
the meaning of life is to shatter the crystal ball : o)
evan,
there is absolute knowledge and that you don't think so shows you have a long ways to go :o), maybe the next lifetime cause the way you are going it's certainly not this :o), but you are not listening, just following some pumped up idea about yourself...if
no one has absolute knowledge there's there's no point to this

john of the cross is one of the great mystics, just read his life, and his death..............dying of a severe staph infection of the skin on a bed grudgingly given in a small monastery of the order he had founded but been kicked out from with the abbott constantly complaining about the cost of keeping, feeding and paying for a doctor for him............
what passes for mysticism these days, some stupid suburban dream of know nothing halfwits with their comfy lives and suburban existance pontificating their idioacy

evan shaw, why not abandon this posture you have,
you are talented and don't need the fake support of a load of unseeing bullshit :o)
be yourself, let it come from you,
sure read around alot
but it's a process of twenty or thirty years to get clarity
and i can tell you the world
won't love you for it :o)

neil, we are not all one ! dream on ! being less effective as a person is precisely what mysticism is about, true mystics lives are ALWAYS some sort of disaster area, it's their estrangement from success that is part of the brutal truth of reality :o)
there's seeing unity, you can believe it but not seeing directly is going to be full of mistakes and that is the billion fold fate of humans and the universe ! :o)

i hope videos of pope benedict are kept around on the net for many years to come, his habiliments are superb, it's a real education as to how well dressed one can be :o)
leaves the average female for dead, but then they don't have the resources available to popes :o)
the amish, mennonites and hutterites appear to be fragmenting, the younger generation is too different to the old ways now
lol it's really hard physical work they do
they have left their genetic imprint, they breed like hell :o)
the net alone destroys them
they can't keep it out long term
the young are always in some state of reaction against the status quo ! : o)
one day at a time and try and get a few things working, i don't prejudge as much as i used too
it's odd how the contact on the web is all there if they want it, (ed. on a suicidal young man) but they don't go there
help is just the who_knows message board away
i mean go to agame site or go to who_knows
only a few seconds diff
i think games are really harmful
surprisingly destructive, too easy to fill one's time with compared to being real and doing useful work on the web
50 is when the first humans died, then the evolutionary advantage in having long lived grandmothers took it up to 75 and now of course we go up to 90-95

jesus they talk alot, but i guess that's the nature of plays, hard to convey the plot without words :o)
i think it's advantage is the actors don't overwhelm what the author (sir henry neville !) intended :o)
she's actually quite hard-bitten, you can see it in her facial expression occasionally !
kidney problems?
to be fair, if you ignore the nonsense she says it is quite sophorific ? maybe she has future selling audio to put you to sleep?
