I 'm thinking this might be to destructive social environment to do this work. Perhaps I'll look for something more appropriate, I'm losing faith in this approach in this place, it might be better served some where else. Those I'm helping can contact me other ways, I'm gonna think on this for a while and consider wise council apparently there are other opportunities to teach in a more traditional format perhaps in person. But I like idea and might just finish up the the stuff I said that I would and post it. We will see, got new information to work with now.

I need to sit and prepare properly and find a quiet place, I really like the format and the ease of introducing resources to the read, superior to a book. I swore I'd never do a website, been since the turn of the century since I did that. I think to teach introduction, swearing and such should go, the Buddha was right again, but my purpose was only to inform and motivate, not teach here. I need to clarify my intention because things change, ya see new things and problems, both in youself and the environment. One can only inform and motivate, but then again I just really traffic direct here. Helping is a separate issue and I'll do that for as long as I'm here. Social media is self destructive, it's not a community and until it becomes one you can only inform help and shut the fuck up! Might just leave this here for those who are interested, until some shows up with an interest in right and wrong, most here know it and some don't know the difference and some have a variety of pathologists. Being non judgmental is hard for me in this environment, lack of practice, not ready to teach for a spell and not here advise on request. But if stop having a puff, I've still got the people I'm helping, that's a good thing so far, but that too might change, we will see how it goes. need to focus on my personal life for a spell.

Anybody taking part in training their mind should avoid social media and limit their media diet in general. Obviously there are large number of platforms with a wide variety of social stress depending on the section and behavior and participants here. Most of the growing sections where passions don't run as high, the sharing part where I started out. In the medical and political sections passions run high and it seems more like a village factions and ideology's are at social war. I thought the point of conversation of a political nature in this environment was to convince the other side, there is very little o that here. Not too many were interested in actually how to do it, using skillful means to convince others and I think I know why. More attention should be given to education and this kind of thing might be of some value, a book would be better, but that is academically very well covered. People need information to expand their options and improve their choices. They also need motivation, and that is rare. But I don't know too many kids with algebra as a hobby either and I think schools are where the true focus should be in a wide variety of current mind body programs with a range of intensities. But a three month training period in high school could make a big difference, most would support it if they put their children before themselves and stupid beliefs like racism..

This thread has been informational, but my efforts though useful were to much informative I was eager to teach and it gave me a lot of energy, still does. It will have to be directed better, this is not the place for this or me if I start to teach seriously and I still really don't want too, see what I got myself into, be sure what ya truly want. i'm gonna think on these things and seek more wise council that which I've heard is my efforts could be deployed elsewhere. Morals and ethics in practice is important and it is important to reconcile beliefs with teachings, belief is important for progress the Buddha said so, mine was in science and I'm not alone there are millions now secular practitioners on the path with a strong belief in the power of science to shorten up the path and have an appropriate level of mindfulness for the circumstances for your lifestyle. but those on the path are still rare and it is not wise to go too far for some. What's the point, if ya got what ya want and don't believe in enlightenment unless ya wanna spend a long time, even using all the tools of science. I haven't read too much on this in a spell, my interests in certain aspects were narrow and confined to my own issues, but those issues are common.

Social media is not just a reflection of our lives but for many a driver, far too much time is spent here and my knee kept me here too long, I became entranced too! I never chewed so many heads of in my life, in such a short time and unfortunately enjoyed it too much, hard to reconcile that and that is the true issue with me here social media exacerbates character flaws, I'd be running around like many with sword in my hand!

I think Donald's days are over and when the real and present danger is gone I'm gone from the section, interesting and fun as Hell, but counter productive for me too. I'm starting a practice and practice what ya preach. Let the thread go to the back of the pack and check in every now and again folks know it's here and can find the info if they want. Other than checking PMs and comments on the thread I'm gonna stay clear of social media during training, it would be wise for any body I never even had cable and my TV collected dust because I swore it off for training and just used a computer, but that too much too. I ain't now monk though, it is peaceful until they come back home, then all Hell breaks lose! Even after 5 years of intense training and three month retreats (monsoons) each year. Ya want a nice quiet life for training, my old job was anything but the rest was pretty tame. when does thinking and planing become self absorption? If your focus is not on others ya gotta have a rule book so get sitting.

What really caught me was helping others and the wind at my back and how strongly it blows when I help other and my intention is them first. Saw issues and problems and it all came back and just flowed out so naturally, the helping part not this blather. The deep caring connection with each and the comfort I've given that not too hard to find where I live and I don't need to tech to do that. they can go to the evidence based programs and they are the best place to start the path, Buddhism isn't required anymore, much has been figured our, but much remains. None the less many a secular practitioner practices and learns with a community of fellows, even if they believe differently than you, doesn't matter in the slightest to all involved. Some even became monks and take vows, you can see them all over YouTube these days. Information was harder to come by in the 70's and 80's but as soon as the internet came out Buddhist jumped on it and published lots of stuff and other practices like MBSR emerged many years before the internet and were pioneers in the field.

I'm gonna be around checking things there is enough inform and we will see if any one posts, don't care and hope not. I will only answer serious people and ignore fools. Harsh speech is another thing that bugged me do persona and troll wars. Yer intentions take a beating there! Too sensitive fur this kind a stuff here, if I'm training. But when Donald is gone I'll be released from Hell, so will America! After that American politics is not my concern, usually try to stay away from politics, but there's Donald, again! Jesus I'm like a grumpy old man!

Humor and practice are gonna be two different topics for me, except when teaching privately.
I like to write humor and make people laugh too. and dunno if I'll do a thread on grow lights either.

I think best like this, confessing

Buck I admitted what I said was wrong and apologized to you. I won’t be intimidated from speaking my mind though. Again I don’t care who wins the electing in your country and don’t have any skin in the game. You have to see the humour and irony in your fight though buck. You jump on anyone that shows any sign of racism or homophobia etc (rightfully so) but on the other hand you promote hate and violence against those who do not share your political beliefs. Why isn’t anyone horrified with that type of hate speech, promoting rape against an elected official (piece of shit or not). I think I’ve made a valuable point on the hate related issue. It doesn’t only apply to racism or homophobia. Who’s to say my outbursts weren’t part of my quest to make a point. Let’s ignore the other forms of hate though and only focus on those that serve our purposes and agendas right? I realize this is a sensitive topic right now but I still bring a relevant point of discussion, previous but bang talk not withstanding.

I knew ya had a good heart, shock was part of the motivation of my error and anger.
Perhaps I can say the same, even if it was horrible speech, we can’t deny that Is not only confined to racism or homophobia. I guess recognizing that though doesn’t serve everyone’s purpose.

I didn't read this whole thread, but this is a different side of you from what I've usually seen @DIY-HP-LED
A good lesson on intention. Got shit from a personal friend on the path who didn't like the style and told me have destructive this place is, I agree!

It was for information purposes and passion caused me to get carried away, that's why I have people watching. Just wanted to inform but It was way Too much info!:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Think I'm gonna shut up about it and stay away from the politics sections. If I stay away from politics, I'm good! This ain't the place for what I do, except the counseling work, that's what I do best, help one on one. I'm not teaching for at least 2 weeks here, gotta clean up like an old drunk! (maybe I'm not that different!):eek:;-)

Plans can change with thinking and new info. I'm not as attached to the icon, most are and are hurt by it, if ya can hurt here, ya can also help. But the help part is limited as is the hurt. No more troll wars for me, like anybody else when ya see shit posted, ya get pissed.

My biggest concern are a couple of people I'm helping here by PM. I also would like the owner to be more responsible for this site and delegate responsibility more. After Donald I'm out of politics and I'm gonna be lurking for the most part. This place kills my heart more than it breaks it a sure sign of trouble....

I'll be around by PM. I'm renewing my practice and teaching a bit here for now. It was for information only ya can't teach here, ya can council, and traffic direct.

Folks here just need a causal practice to help out with perspective and stress, path walkers are rare birds. I'm not religious and don't follow a rule book, but my heart instead. I've also summed up my approach to hearts and minds and demonstrated it with object lessons etc. Something like is of value online, but it's covered already.

I'm sitting again and ya should think about a causal practice too of a few times a week and learn other tricks of this nature, there are tons

Makes me horny! I ain't dead yet young feller!

Emailing with the Lama and straightening myself out. Talking over the experiences here and going for another approach. get nocked down get up and dust yer self off and go at the cocksucker again with both fucking fists! Better and stronger next time, others first, lead from the front. Not much will change, I still love ya live yer mommy and sometimes like yer mommy I will spank you, but I'll also lay it on the line for you too, like your mommy. If yer beginning harmed I will defend you not matter what, the only thing I'm really afraid of is my friend, my conscience and he's been garbing my nuts and twisting em real fucking hard! Apparently just taking to me didn't didn't work?:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I also know the value of honesty and confession of my sins and do it more places than here! I'm like a fucking pit bull and need a good strong choke collar and leash ( a master) and a regular practice too! The master has to have a strong arm and a big fucking stick too, and use it frequently!
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

That pit bull part was from a friend on the path....
