That truth can be known no matter what body it is. But the obsession with the body will be a hindrance towards purifying the mind.

"Spirit", to me, is not a thing. It is a natural state of harmony embracing body and mind. Doctors and psychologist can't configure that harmonic balance. They create Frankenstein's monsters.

I don't get it.....

Don't want to either . I like common sense.

Dialogue is the heart of spirituality. It is not a talk with experts who tell you specifically which grass is greener. Nor is it necessary about the grass. Reason has no place in the human heart.


What about your grass? Is it greener on the other side?

There is a word for it, but we are precluded from using it, Tzaph!

Increasing numbers of people have made this their battle cry, to be sure. As the world's systems break down, I expect the incoherence that you channel to be the norm.

It makes me glad that I'm old.

Yes, the anti-intellectualism is very strong at the moment. We do not need to ask why.

The Tao is not recognized through the intellect.

I don't think they pushed aside motherhood because they believed it robbed women of their true calling. No healthy society denigrates devotion to and care of its most precious natural resource: children. There is a congruency between raising children and protecting natural resources. And you are the Rachel Carson for your kids. Wow, you didn't see that!
You got me.
