'Simple question': How are you?

[A Vestigial Mote]

"How are you?, "How is it?"

The colony of cells that is my living body is doing very, very well, as far as I am able to tell.

As to the mental/"spiritual" state of my mind - the colony of cells does not care except in very particular circumstances that benefit the colony, and only insofar as I am compelled to obtain what it needs. Otherwise I am left to my "own" devices. And I would say I do a fair job of keeping my "self" occupied and content.

 

[Samana Johann]

You?

He isn't nor isn't he not.

 

[Samana Johann]

How ... are ... you

How ... is ... Brahman Vinayaka now?

Analytical, mindfull and generous, he seems to do, the good Vestigial Mote. Mudita

This personage is no Brahman. It knows Brahmans though. Already answered question in previous post. No need to repeat.

So it, his state, is lasting, or fear to investigate, or to stiny to share?

Too many assumptions about strangers. Dead give-away of purpose. Shucks.

So fear to watch out serious, how Vinayaka is?

"How are you?,

Good thank you, and how are you?

"How is it?"

It is not easy, but rewarding.

 

[Shad]

Could you answer truthful here, without stress here or later because of it: "How are you?, "How is it?"

Got some heartburn, grandfather was cooking last night. It is okay now that I took a tums

Actually I really am 74 which I know is utterly shocking to anyone under 50.

After all, I'm supposed to be wearing Depends and unable to use my cell phone let alone a computer or even remember how to put on my pants.

A lifetime of having to learn new technologies every few years working in computer jobs has kept my brain flexible. Now an active mental regime of retirement volunteering including use of my IT skills keeps my brain flexible and able to learn.

And good genes have kept my body in decent shape albeit not as good shape as I used to enjoy. Now I'm relying on various classes including Tai Chi to help retain and even regain a bit of what I lost due to age.

Good for you! I'm always kind of happy to discover someone here on RF who's even older than I am. I'm 70 and still going strong. I also have a background in IT and do volunteer work. My mom lived to be 96, as did all of her siblings, so I'm guessing old age is probably in the cards for me, too.

Good and busy. 100% honestly.

Being able to achieve that insight has to be helpful for your own emtional state.

It is, even though it's also frustrating that a pet rock can better reciprocate emotion. But my life has left me emotionally stunted, and my moms had it so much harder, legitimately far harder than what most people will ever fathom (she got to be told by the police and then tell her two oldest that her [first] husband/their dad was murdered on Christmas day, and thats just getting started).

What's with the odd english sentence structures. I that necessary?

Ouch.

I simply am, until I'm not.

They are from Germany. I think it is a combination of English being their second or third language and eccentricities
