We called that game "Karate Chopping Voluptuous Dude" and it was played similar to how people play the game "Smear the Queer"....gosh were we high and dumb back then.scruffynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427374210457804451.post-8771218022882332122009-10-22T11:41:57.584-07:002009-10-22T11:41:57.584-07:00The Earth is my home, but my house is in Phoenix :...The Earth is my home, but my house is in Phoenix :Pscruffynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427374210457804451.post-92162023461921825692009-10-22T00:01:41.675-07:002009-10-22T00:01:41.675-07:00hi Buddha,

Who is having the direct experience of "I"? Or is "I" nothing but direct experience? Or is "I" just a floating signifier?<br />A quality is given by an other.

There are also significantly different properties between coal and diamond, the functionality of the substance seems to be something that Buddhists seem to be oblivious about, and in this case the form too (hydrocarbon vs crysalized carbon).<br /><br /><br />Coal is only useless if you don't know how to use it to light a fire, and diamond is only useless unless you know how to use it (in a diamond blade) to cut through rocks or to mesmorize the ladies with it's sparkle.Quantum_Fluxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09383025356536602044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427374210457804451.post-90957019334409331952009-10-21T08:55:02.163-07:002009-10-21T08:55:02.163-07:00I have a question for everyone related to a post a...I have a question for everyone related to a post and conversation on another blog. There is a lot of talk of the Zen School of Buddhism being the school of direct experience. How do "house" and "home" relate to direct experience?Ted Bagleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07740863843616685808noreply@blogger.com
