On the sound use of mental suicide.
by Narkissos inthis topic is meant as a follow-up of my recent conversation with r. crusoe on different threads.. it seems to me that the current popularisation of eckhart tolle's philosophy, resurrecting what i think is the very core of age-old mystical traditions (to put it shortly: death of the culturally constructed "self"), without the collective mythological, institutional and social settings for such an experience, is potentially very liberating but also very dangerous.. i am sensitive to that because i went through a similar experience when i left jws -- i felt both its empowering and destructive force, and, although i certainly don't claim to have dealt with it optimally (is that an adverb?
), i'm hoping that experience, good or bad, may benefit others, to an extent.
and i'm sure that i'm not alone in that case.. so i'd like this thread to be primarily supportive, even though that may include some theoretical and practical criticism.. .

God is a Metaphor
by nvrgnbk ingod is a metaphor.
dr. khalid sohail .
being a secular humanist i do not believe in any god or organized religion, but as a poet i am fascinated by all the languages and metaphors human beings have created over the centuries to understand and explain the mysteries of life and nature.

To "zenism"
by poppers into zenism - sorry about posting this openly but sending a pm doesn't work on my computer.
i just want you to know that i got your pm and the answer to your question is "no, i don't" - i appreciate the sentiment you expressed in your pm - sometimes i wonder if anyone actually is interested in what i have to say.
if you care to pm me your email address i can send you the address of another site i post at which is dedicated to discussing "waking up"......... poppers

As a parent....how do YOU feel about trampolines?
by onlycurious inmy daughter broke her arm really just a hair above the elbow about 5 years ago.
her arm isn't the same after having pins in it.
now my oldest daughter has been going over to a friends house and doing back flips (as if she's a pro) on the dumb thing.

I know I am on track in life when:
by zensim inon the weekend i did a deceptively simple exercise that was in fact so powerful - very profound and meaningful.
it has given me such a deeper understanding of my true nature, of what i live for and how i can live my life truthfully.
so i thought i would share the exercise here.. .
