Wow, just finished reading your post, Ozfly. May the force be with you. :-) |
"What was/is its purpose? Beauty and an Opening of the Heart?"
Asa, if you really want the answer to its purpose. E-mail me off-line. |
Detlof, There is no "what is" (matters or light/dark, etc..) only "how is". You can't define "it" (the one Asa talked about) in the higher definition (except/accept human def., languages). You only recognize "it" when you see "it" (in this case hear it).
When one listens to the music, "it" is all music. When one not listens to the music, "it" is all "one". Once one passes "that", one is a "free" man. Think of it as water and waves. When one are sad/happy (dark/light) the waves is high. When one are happy/sad the waves is lower. Ask oneself this, when one in not sad, not happy, where is the wave? Once one get that, all one's burning questions is answered! Music's, noises, "light/dark", "mirror", "beneath, it is not", "beneath is not"; all these are tools, and only tools they are...
One is a potential non-audiophile, then...Because; all one listen is music, then. There are no stages, no states, and no levels. Because, it there are stages, there are higher/lower stages. If there are states, there is higher/lower states, levels, etc. Only musical...or not musical.
I am writing all this. Asking for 3 cents in return is not too much, is it not? :-) |
Lugnut, I could not disagree with you:-) |
Gregm, I've lost all my "Ten Bull" to you. Can I please have one, back? Only one? Thanks. :-) |
Wow... Ben, I've to have that CD! Can you give me the name of it? Thanks. |
Marakanetz, you are on the way to the top of the mountain, my friend. :-) |
Hello Rives, You spoke my mind! Now, can I get that free consultant? :-) |
Matt8268, I went to Catholic school in my childhood. There is a picture that always impressed me. You probably saw it. Jesus Chris with the opened heart. :-) |
Wow, I always thought the ears (sense) is closest to the soul, so is the music, so is audiophile people. Ya just have to dig 'em out. :-) |
Hey, Gregm. I am only 5'4" tall, ok? :-) |
Judit, you are right on. They said that the eyes is the windows to the soul. But the ears actually closest to the soul.
- Eyes only see things in front.
- Ears can hear 360 degrees.
- Eyes closed when one sleep.
- Ears is conscious when one asleep.
Most men/women with large beautiful eyes are usually handsome/beautiful.
Most men/women with large nice ears are usually rich or lucky.
...Most of these hi-end audiophile guys...If you know what I mean...;-) |

Detlof,
"Pity I cannot meet you all in person. We'd have great discussions over much ... along! Cheers to all!"
With respect, same here :-) |
That is beautiful. Asa... "Beauty and an Opening of the Heart?" |
|
Yes I'm here and silenced in awe {-: |
Where there is a beginning, there is an end.
Asa, Bodhisattva has Bodhisattva's problem (stuck). let me explain: For examples.
1) A student speak to himself, I need to study hard, in order to get good grades.
2) That poor man is hungry and cold, let's give him some food.
3) The fireman said to himself: "I've got to save that house".
My point is the mind is driving the everything. It's the way it is! Denying that is denying you, yourself. It is always there! Always free! It is you (your mind) who ties you down. in words, promises (that is why marriage called "tie the knot", etc...
Asa, Who do you think Bodhisattva is? He is a human being! with "an opened heart": Firemen, you, etc... Do you think he was borned out of the mountain's hole or something? It's a state of mind and the level that he is in! Once he realized that it is his own state of mind, he then "free". It is everyday people! You and I, and so is everyone else! Example: You graduate from graduate school, you get a degree, people called you doctor, lawyer, technician, etc... But that does not change your name, doensn't it Mark!
Asa, as you've already known, the way I write by now (stink). As I would say: "I am only 5'4" tall" up there, then I would added later "or short", that is why I said word is leading. See how free I am? But if you could do it better, who stop you?! In fact you wrote beautifully, as I've said many times.
Asa, "In the end, he did not say a word" is a state of mind. after this, I will not get into (or get out) the "neurotic thing", Clueless, you like that, huh? ;-). Let just say that I am UN-STUCK, myself for I have said all my pieces. In a few days, everybody do your own things and FORGOT, would that be enough to say "in the end, he did not say a word"?. Or would I be dead or went crazy, afterward? Buddha, don't lie, so is Jesus, so is Lao Tzu. Don't be confused! Also, I did not write/speak to/for you. So I did not say a word, to you... in the end. :-)
Good bye everyone
Ozfly, you've been using it, it is you, you've just proved it. :-)
He has found me, and I has found him: "The teacher of teachers, the healer of healers". I am not lonely no more. Hahahaha... It's his problem, now. Hahahahahaha... |
Detlof, I have 3 cents in my pocket, what do you have in yours? OK, OK, Just kidding... hahaha... :-) Cheers! |
Asa, you write beautifully! I've never seen One like you!
"The only non-attachment that a Bodhisattva has is one towards saving all beings from suffering, even while not being attached to it ; desire without desire, search without search = non-search/non-desire/non-dual."
"Do not make the Silence "grave" as if it is holy and only holy, somehow apart from the notes and words. It is not the holy Other."
Asa, look at the two quote of yours. Aren't they the same meaning?!
I am willing to break my word for getting back into the "thinking" as you stated. Just to say: "I heard..."

PEOPLE, WHAT IS THE WINNING PRIZE FOR LOTTO THIS WEEK. I'S RAHTER GET THE TICKET. HA...HA... HA...HA...HA... |
No tickets...! (Indiana Jones - The last Crusade). Hahaha... Sorry, can't help it. Hahaha...Hahaha... HAHAHA...HAHAHA... |
Oh, how painful, one on top of the mountain; nowhere to go but down. Can't walk down because, one's back to square one. Can't jump down because it means an end to live, path, all that times and knowledges are wasted. The only way is to jump up. But where? The door is right in front, yet far away; far away yet, like right at the nose. I'd felt the pain/beauty. :-). I also felt. ;-).
When the mind (internal) rises, everything (external) rises; when everything (external) rises, the mind (internal) rises. When the mind falls, everything falls; when everything falls, the mind falls. When is it end? When is this dualism end? And How?
Twl, "Koan" = "koh'an/ n" is a Chinese pronounciation, but it means "to ponder".
It's Friday, time to jam people. |
Moving/stopping is a dual... so is wind/mind. You see the point...
How many path are there up the mountain?
- Let's see, a flick of the eyes is one, a heartbeat is one... Running forever is one (Forest Gump)... You do the math...
If infinite, what is one's point of reference to say "path"? Where is the center?
You're doing it all day, and still ask me? Off-center...
The Zen you have on the top of the mountain is the Zen you brought up. If you are attached to the "top", or "thought" or "matter", however, sometimes you don't see this...
- You keep come back to this, are you a Zen master? Is this because you read to much Zen book? I speak from here; I see all the times, not blind you know! Even the blinds can see; they see the darkness.
The wild geese do not intend to cast their reflection.
The water has no mind to receive their images.
I really don't want to get into the quote of yours (is it yours?). Don't want to be your mirror. The last time I paraphrase the quote still stand. Jump my friend, just jump, not up, not down, not side-by-side, just jump... (brake)
Last of all, please don't call me 6ch. It sounds like 6 channels home theatre. You don't want me to call you As_, do you? Thank you. |
Unsound, I owe you this, for slamming at you one time. I'd told you before that, you sir, arrived at the door. I was not joking, nor picking on you at the time. Didn't I?
Do you really think that, "you" can run from "yourself"? ;-)
------------------------------------------------------------
It's snow and cold outside...
Come in... Come in...
Yes, you and you and you... All of you.
Leave the snow, the cold and wet, outside...
It's warm and dry in here...
There're some chairs, please seatdown...
Here, have a hot cup of tea... Slowly! It's hot.
Nice... warm... and calm... in here, huh?...
My friends, when you done with your teas, and leave here; don't bring the cold from outside; don't take the tea, the warm and dry from in here with you. Out that door you go, walk the Heaven on earth... |
Thanks Unsound, really? Poetic? :-) Also, called...
Roll, roll, roll your boat gently down the stream...
Merry Christmas to all |
