Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck

6ch: I guess I don't understand how you can respond to me with a smiley face, and then, once you've had a day to let your mind go over it, come back with a response that's not so smiley. Who needs the mirror?

An enlightened being not interested in what others say (all thought presented in dialogue is "opinion", but need not be judgement) and taking a day to work himself up just to say he's not going to say anything. Hmmm.

6ch, you want to be the "Zen Master" you've read so much about. If you can't be that, then you quit. Its your mirror.

Thank you all, you too 6ch.

Clueless, sorry that you couldn't respond to my olive branch. Try not to save that feeling for the next thread.

Closed.

Price breakthrough on synchronicity

(And I said I wouldn't be back.)
Given the depth and intensity of the discussion here I felt none of you would want to miss out on this one of kind deal on a Jungian Synchronicity Machine.

The instructions clearly provide at Usage e:
"Leave your Wishing Machine running. In a few days or weeks you should start seeing synchronicities coming into your life."

Synchronicity Central

Holy Psychotronic Psionics Psionic!!!!

All this on 3 AAA batteries! I'm wondering what if I use a dedicated power supply with some of those Pursit Dominus cables Narchy talks about? I can have my life together in no time!

Maybe I can get a group deal on some treated ones!

Detlof, even with the upgrades I think the price is cheaper than the therapy you suggested for me.

Lets not get in a bidding war eh!

Asa. Contrary to popular belief I do leave my computer once in while. I have to see the branch before I can grab it.
I had the chance to see David Liebman blow his sax last night w/ very small crowd (35) totally acoustic. Kept me out late. very nice.

Peace.

I remain

Unbelievable...I'd want to be an anonymous bidder too!

Peace.

I am glad that a new normality has returned. Clueless remains (clueless -- not adieu), Asa: are the waters are dark because I made them so & you believed me?
Detlof: I have not yet grasped knowledge allowing me to append a comment -- however frivolous.

I believe that Nrchy & 6 would agree with -- only would have put it better than I.

Gregm: on normality, waves rise, waves fall into troughs; challenge of assumptions rises, challenge subsides. Could this "normality" - the calm trough we are now in, closer in understanding - have existed without the rising? 6ch is right, there are many ways to cut a chicken, and although it would not be my chosen metaphor, both ways are part of the rising; as I said to clueless, we are all part of the wave, both up and down.

Do I get caught up in darkness? Yes, I still do. Each wave of a person's "development" involves rises and troughs. Each trough, so to speak, has its own pathologies, its own uncovered dark seed of karma, ever darker as you proceed into your own past and the collective past of all within all. People think, or like to imagine, that its a continuous blissful ascendancy, and yes there is bliss, but when the attachment to wherevever you are - and there are attachments all along the way - is seen as an illusion there is then the next desert before the next arisement. There are many deserts and during those times (and for me, this time is one of them) the darkness can catch me, pull me in before I see it, see that it is only me forgetting where I am. I am not at a "place" that is beyond levels; that is the non-dual ground of all levels. Not in a stable way. OK?

We have learned here, all of us, and sometimes there is tension with that. But I think we all meet here because we share an appreciation for a certain reflection of beauty we call "music". That coming-together is always stronger than the pulling-apart; the rising is never apart from the falling.
