Re: Simple TOE Proclamations

(Love makes it all Appear ''Apparently'' She is Love, She is Magic)

I agree Melanie, and also with Carole King:


Only love is real
Everything else illusion
Adding to the confusion of the way we connive
At being alive
Tracing a line till we can define
The thing that allows us to feel
Only love is real

Best,

Pat

Even love implies two.
Best not to.

Best to you too.

Something Borrowed from the internet to SHARE with you guys.
IT feels SOooo good......kNOT !!



'' When I know I am me,
I am suffering!

When I know I am One, I am Love!
When I know I am Nothing, I am Wisdom!

And my life fluctuates between the three.

Which makes me a friggin' confused individual!

Re: Simple TOE Proclamations

Well Melanie if I may make a suggestion, stay with the ONE.

As for myself my main suffering as of late, is when my arthritis flares up. ( I guess that is when ME wants some attention )

As to wisdom the only true wisdom I have accumulated in my life's journey, is the wisdom in the knowledge of how ignorant I am.

Best,

Pat

Re: Simple TOE Proclamations

True, Melanie, that in a large way, that without movement nothing ever happens but kind of still does, too, with movement, although the movement gave life, the 'apparent' becoming real since it is as reliable as if it were.

Nothing ever happened is the same as everything happened, and if we could add it all up and cancel it, which seemingly can be done because 'to be' seems to rule over 'not to be' as the Stillness couldn't hold together (or nothing AT ALL would have amounted).

Movement of appearances from who know what gave rise to the time of past, present, and future, the movement of some 'lumps' occurring in a 'space'.

We care little for the mechanism, but for curiosity, and enjoy the result as a very stable dream (as opposed to night-dreams) that cannot be told apart from the real and so becomes real since the result being of no difference (from more really real) IS no difference.

Re: Simple TOE Proclamations

Just life ''appearing'' & ''disappearing'' to no-body and no-thing.
Emptiness is form, Form is emptiness.

Just life.


No beginning ... No end.
No birth ... No death.
A much a do about nothing.

Re: Simple TOE Proclamations

What is the SELF ? IT is every-thing and no-thing.

Desire for liberation interferes with the fullness of the Self.

Absence of such desire promotes bondage Hence, constant awareness is to be preferred.

The sole cause for bondage and liberation is the movement in consciousness.

Awareness of this ends this movement.

The ego-sense ceases the very moment one observes it,for it has no support any longer.

Then who is bound by whom, or who is liberated by whom?

Re: Simple TOE Proclamations

Speaking of Yoga's and Yogi's,

Yogi Berra said:

"It ain't over 'til it's over"

This quote is undoubtedly the most well known Yogi-ism. It is also one of the more coherent ones. He first said this about the 1973 National League pennant race.

"I want to thank you for making this day necessary"

This was said at Yogi Berra day in St Louis in 1947. It is supposed to be the first Yogi-ism. By his account, he asked a teammate to write a short speech, and he misspoke, replacing the word 'possible' with 'necessary'.

It's like déjà vu all over again."

"When you get to a fork in the road, take it"

Berra insists that this is part of some driving directions to his house. In his hometown of Montclair, New Jersey, there is a fork in the road and either way you take, you will get to his house. Some people find this to be a very poignant quote, thinking it means that when you find a challenge, overcome it.

"I didn't really say everything I said"

Yogi can't even escape creating a Yogi-ism in his disclaimer for not creating all of the Yogi-isms. He was pointing out that he didn't say everything that people think he said, which is very likely.

"Nobody goes there anymore because it's too crowded."

This one may have been invented by someone else. Yogi said it regarding a restaurant that had become very popular.

"We have a good time together, even when we're not together"

This quote was talking about his wife Carmen. Apparently it makes perfect sense to them, and it means that he likes to spend a little time away from her, but wants to be back together after it.

"Our similarities are different"

This quote was actually said by Dale Berra, Yogi's son. It's interesting to note how similar they are in their linguistic ability.

"I thought they said steak dinner, but then I found it was a state dinner..." "...It was hard to have a conversation with anyone; there were so many people talking". This was about a fancy dinner he attended at the White House.

New York Yankees Tickets
"We make too many wrong mistakes"

"Slump? I ain't in no slump... I just ain't hitting"

"You can observe a lot by watching"

"It gets late early around here..."

"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore"

"If I didn't wake up I'd still be sleeping"

"I usually take a two hour nap from 1 to 4"

"If you don't know where you're going, you'll wind up somewhere else"

"The future ain't what it used to be"

"If they don't want to come, you can't stop them"

"Always go to other people's funerals otherwise they won't go to yours"

"You have to give 100 percent in the first half of the game. If that isn't enough, in the second half, you have to give what is left."

"Never answer an anonymous letter"

"Think! How the hell are you gonna think and hit at the same time?"

"Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel!"

"Ninety percent of this game is half mental."
In Context...
When asked what makes a good manager of a baseball team, he said "A good ball club"

When asked what time it is, he said "What? You mean right now?"

When he was asked if first baseman Don Mattingly had exceeded expectations, Yogi said "I'd say he's done more than that!"

His wife Carmen asked where he would like to be buried, to the reply "Surprise me!"

He was told that he looked cool in his summer suit by the Mayor of New York's wife, and he said "You don't look so hot yourself"

At a dinner in an Italian restaurant, he was asked how many slices should be cut in his pizza, and he replied "You better make it four, I don't think I could eat eight"

Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra (born May 12, 1925) is a retired baseball player and, later, team manager. Born on the Hill in St. Louis, he picked up his nickname from a friend who said he resembled a Hindu holy man.

Re: Simple TOE Proclamations

You are so funny austin. your input is a treasure and a pleasure.



You are all on my plane,
and there is nothing you can do
so just sit back and watch the movie.
Even if you spend the whole time in the toilet
you are still going to arrive Here.
So sit back and be Quiet.
unknown~


IT's got us,and there ain't nothing we can do about it.
Except to surrender.
