Haha to bad a shucked it

How will corn help? Xp thanks bro i.might take you up on that.

Ehh crazy, stressed and depressed. Just trying to keep on keepen on. Things have been rough

Can't beat studying!
Delighted to hear you're feeling well and I hope the exams are nice and easy!

Thanks for that, I've been away for a few days, I'm great thanks - how about you?

Thanks. I just love the band. Their music is like gold to my ears! I can't really say I've listened to much stoner rock/metal other than this and a handful of other songs/artist though.

BTW, I've been doing "interesting" I guess. I just took a career aptitude test and one of my top results was "spiritual leader" which made a lot of sense to me. I am going to meet a career adviser to discuss this. Wish me luck!

on the subject of compliments , ..... take it as a vote of confidence :yes:

dear sage ,

"look not at the words but at the meaning"

dear sage tree ,
many thanks for the frubal , interesting comment ,the difference between sanatana dharma and buddha dharma ? .....two ultimately true systems with one end , realisation of the true nature of phenomena from the buddhist perspective and a realisation of our relationship to god from the hindu perspective , but as in our conditioned state our understanding is limited , we see division where there is no division , .......I am back tracking to a now old conversation , but regarding the I ? ... it is the 'I' seeing from the limited perspective , the 'I' having opinions about the true nature , seeing it only partialy from its clouded veiw , where as in the realisation of truth there is ultimately no 'I' in which case no need for opinion , as the truth just is ! everything becomes apparent everything is knowing .

I work on an assembly line, for a company that makes parts for Honda. We assemble the air conditioner/heater units for the Honda Accord, Crosstour, and CRV's. I think my FB posts stem, at least the negative ones', from two sources: 1. being tired all the time, and 2. I think my cynicism is starting to get the best of me. Of course, I think my cynicism stems from both experiences I've had with people, and the fact that I'm Autistic. And, the money is decent, and it's great having all this overtime especially around Christmas time. This is the first year that we've been able to buy the kids things without having to rely on outside help, so it has been kind of fun in that regard.

You're quite welcome, Ben.

I'm doing ok. I have to work overtime tonight, which is both a blessing and a curse. We've been working nearly 60 hours a week for over two months, and it can get to you, but the extra money, especially around Christmas, is nice. I didn't get much sleep though, my son has been in a mood all day, and decided that I didn't need any sleep. But overall, I can't really complain too much. I hope yours has been good.

Ha, I-cabulary:

"Soldier man naw give you no break; police naw give you no break; not even your i-dren naw give you no break... Bad Boys, Bad Boys, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when dey come for you... "

Huh? Is that a koan? :biglaugh:

I bought a brass vajra today. I was in the store that sells murtis and other Hindu, Buddhist and New Age stuff. I got a heavy brass murti of Krishna, a small one of Buddha and the vajra (closed ends). I couldn't resist it. I need a new, larger hand bell. Mine is tiny.

Thanks! His birthday is two days after my dad's birthday, which was also my late uncle's birthday (for whom my son was partly named). Clearly good and interesting people are born around this time....

Thanks! His name is Michael Zachary Joel. He arrived into the world actually slightly more than a week ago-- November 26-- but his bris (ritual circumcision and entrance into the covenant of Abraham) was December 3.

It's been awesome. My son arrived into the world. Can't ask for better than that.

Heh, no problem. My Sanskrit sucks for the most part.

I had a discussion last night w/ my therapist who is very supportive of my goals and path. She suggested that all the angst I've gone through over family and work is that I've forgotten about the choices I made in past lives; that this is my dharma. She believes I am remembering and re-dedicating myself to who I am and what my dharma is. Maybe this is all psychobabble and imaginary, and as John Lennon said "whatever gets you through the night", but she doesn't think this is the case. She thinks it's real.

Thanx! And yes, the pork is with me.

Thank you, Sage Tree. It has. I hope it is well with you, also.
