<h2>Japanese translation for &#8220;Full of nothing&#8221;?</h2>
<p>&#8220;In English we may refer to an empty space betwqeen the <strong>chair</strong> and the table; the Japanese don&#8217;t say the space is empty but &#8220;full of nothing&#8221;.<br />
Richard Tanner Pascale &#8220;<strong>Zen</strong> and the Art of Management&#8221; 1978</p>
<p>How would you translate &#8220;full of nothing&#8221; into Japanese. Is there one word for it?</p>

<p class="dtm-content">I&#8217;m a native speaker of Japanese but I&#8217;m not quite sure of what Pascale is talking about.<br />
&#8220;full of nothing&#8221; could be directly translated into &#8220;mu ga juuman shite iru&#8221;.<br />
But if I would translate the whole sentences taking the context and naturalness of language into account,<br />
&#8220;Eigo dewa, isu to tsukue no aida niwa nani mo nai to hyougen suru kamo shirenai ga, nihonjin wa, nani mo nai dewa naku &#8220;sukima ga aru&#8221; to iu.&#8221;.<br />
Sukima &#8211; opening</p>
<p>The translation is commercially available(online only).</p>
<p>Http://www.bookpark.ne.jp/cm/contentdetail.asp?content_id=DHBL-BS197808-203</p>
<p>I&#8217;m curious about how the phrase is translated in the book.</p>
<p>By the way ?????? Means the sky full (of something)</p>

<h2>How are the mantras in Transcendental Meditation special?</h2>
<p>My friend says Transcendental <strong>Meditation</strong> is the best <strong>meditation</strong>. What is the mantra and how is it special?</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="answer">
<h3>meditation chair | meditation bench | meditation stool | meditation pillow | meditation cushion answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">As part of personal instruction in the TM technique each student receives a suitable mantra or sound which has been selected by their TM teacher as a sound that is harmonious and appropriate for that individual.  There is a designated set of mantras that each TM teacher uses to select the appropriate sound for their students. So it is entirely possible that some TM students could have the same mantra as others.  It is important to note that TM mantras are specialized sounds that have no menaing.  They are the delicate vehicle on which the mind glides to deeper, more subtle levels of thinking.  For maximum effectiveness TM students are encouraged to refrain from speaking or writing down their mantra as this has the effect of damaging and dulling this highly delicate and refined meditation tool.<br />
The TM technique is an effortless mental procedure whereby an individual experiences increasingly quieter levels of thinking and then the source of thought, deep within the mind.  The first step in this process is to allow the mind to be alert but undirected at the same time.  To accomplish this TM utilizes a thought or mantra that has a sound quality but has no assigned meaning. For example the word ‘flower’ has two aspects: the sound value and the English meaning.</p>

<h2>What&#8217;s the story on the mantras in Transcendental Meditation?</h2>
<p>Where do they come from? Do the really work? Does anyone have any details?</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="answer">
<h3>meditation chair | meditation bench | meditation stool | meditation pillow | meditation cushion answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">The mantra is selected by the Transcendental Meditation teacher based on the suitability and harmonious effect it will create for each student when properly used. This is because the technique of how to use the mantra is just as crucial as the proper selection of the mantra/sound itself. It’s important to note that the mantras are used for their sound quality only and have no assigned meaning. These two important aspects, suitability and meaninglessness, allow the mind to be lively but undirected at the same time, so it can sink deep within, ‘transcend’ thought and experience its own silent, inner nature. This is the process called ‘transcending’ which takes place during the Transcendental Meditation technique. The Transcendental Meditation technique and the mantras/sounds it utilizes have their origin in the ancient Vedic tradition which predates all religions and cultures including the Hindu religion. The Vedic tradition is a universal body of complete and timeless knowledge encompassing the total field of natural law, or underlying intelligence, that governs the universe. Because the Vedas and the Vedic tradition are ancient and universal, many of its sounds, names and principals are found in many countries, cultures and religions around the world. The ancient Vedic tradition of India is the oldest continuous tradition of knowledge on earth. In 2003 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proclaimed the Vedic tradition (specifically the recitation of the Vedic hymns) a “masterpiece of intangible heritage to humanity”.   The TM technique and its mantras are derived from this same Vedic tradition. Over thousands of years, the technique of Transcendental Meditation contained in the Vedas had been misinterpreted and therefore lost its effectiveness. It was then revived in the 1950’s, to its original and highly effective form, by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who was the custodian and representative of the Vedic tradition in our generation.</p>

<p class="dtm-content">Slowing down the heart, lowering blood pressure, blocks out unwanted thoughts (if you&#8217;re good at it), stuff like that.</p>
<p>I used to meditate and do Tai Chi.  Tai Chi is also great for balance and centering.</p>

<p class="dtm-content">Prayers are very good for meditation.<br />
I go by the Christianity Religion and I usually start off my day with a prayer that goes something like this:<br />
Dear Heavenly Father,<br />
I praise you,I honor you,I love you,I thank you and I glorify your name for the(blank ie great,wonderful etc) opportunities that you have planned for my day.I pray that any troubles  that I may have I shall cast it upon your feet and let you care for my issues.I also pray for peace and prosperity.<br />
OR<br />
Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one creator; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen.</p>

<p>Hi Guys!! Need help with my course work&#8230; Im doing a study about homes and I would like to know: </p>
<p>Which kind of decoration, design would like for your <strong>home</strong>?<br />
More traditional, conservative, modern, very clean and straight lines, very full of things, comfy and sweet, <strong>zen</strong>, victorian, oriental, minimalistic, very functional or maybe fashion and following the new trends or maybe you don&#8217;t really care a lot? And which colours and fabrics?<br />
What do you think?<br />

<p class="dtm-content">My wife and I have decorated our apartment with everything we have collected over the years, so it is cluttered but comfy.  If we owned a house, then we could spread out and it would not be as cluttered.  I could stick my Cincinnati Reds collection in one room and my wife could decorate the rest of the house. She would probably decorate with a bit of fashion, but still functional and comfy.  I would have to help with colors.  I am better at colors, but I would probably pick more earthy or neutral colors.  My wife would probably pick colors that are more bright.  I would help her with accent colors.  She likes to keep rooms with a theme.  In our current kitchen, it has a chefs motif, while our current bathroom has a French feel.  It will change because my wife is tired of these motifs, but I am not sure what she wants.  I know she wants more of the motif of her home country of Peru.  I would not mind that.  As long as I have my man cave, I will be happy.</p>

<h2>Video of Akon&#8217;s performance in Trinidad @ Zen nightclub?</h2>
<p>Have you seen the video? What do you think?<br />
YouTube has taken all the &#8216;nasty&#8217; videos of the website because of copyright laws &#8230; or so they say, all the clean  videos of that night are still there. Everyone is upset, because the girl is 14 and she is a pastors daughter. Don&#8217;t get me wrong Akon is to blame for 1st of all lying to the audience about the free trip to Africa and then for behaving in the most immoral manner but I think the girl and her family are to blame as well (what was a 14 yr old school girl from a religious <strong>home</strong> doing at a 18+ nightclub on a school night). West Indians are known for provocative &#8216;winin&#8217; but that was just disgusting on Akon&#8217;s part.<br />
N e ways does n e 1 know where I can video?<br />
She is in fact 14.</p>
<p>http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article_news?id=161131763</p>
<p>Nikkel that site does not work. I think he people have made it their job to take any of those nasty clips off. As I am also sure they (if they have not already) will offer her family money not to sue.<br />
<strong>Zen</strong> is one of the worst nightclubs in Trinidad. Of course the hardly every ID. They overcharge, they are racist on most normal nights and thing is some people still go. They (the girl and her family) are tryin to make her look like the victim. However a victim she may be she lied to parents, she got caught. And it&#8217;s true Akon disgusts me, I can&#8217;t listen to his music anymore.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="answer">
<h3>meditation chair | meditation bench | meditation stool | meditation pillow | meditation cushion answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">I honestly think that everyone who wants to see the provocative behavior which was on the site should be allowed to for two reasons. 1. Why is it that a 14 year old is allowed access to a club where there is a 18+ age requirement.  Aren&#8217;t they supposed to show their ID cards at the entrance? I think the security is not at all professional. 2. Here we have a 14 year old school girl going to a night club. Where were her parents when she dressed to leave home.  It is obvious that if she dresses that way no one will no her true age. Man I&#8217;m older than she is and she looks more mature than i do. Another thing her parents need to take some blame due to the fact that a 14 year old should not be allowed to go out on a school night i don&#8217;t care where he or she says he is going. To touch on Akon, he is just showing me that he has no respect for himself or for young ladies and what he did was down right DISRESPECTFUL. You don&#8217;t treat a young lady like that, but then again a young lady doesn&#8217;t dress or behave in that manner. Don&#8217;t just blame Akon, the blame must go around fairly. Blame everyone involved, Akon, 14 year old Deena, her parents, security at the club, the owner and don&#8217;t forget to include the ones who took those disgusting pictures but at the same time thank them for revealing the type of behavior that takes place in these nightclubs.</p>

<h2>How do me and my mom keep the house more clean? URGENT!!!?</h2>
<p>So, I&#8217;m 14 years old, and live with my mom who&#8217;s single (divorced from my father whom I don&#8217;t live with). I have 2 younger sisters aged 12 and 8. They constantly destroy the house and don&#8217;t help clean up ever. I&#8217;m <strong>home</strong> alone on weekends (because my mom works 7am until 11:30 at night, and my sisters go to our dad&#8217;s house), so I can clean the house when necessary but there are no places to put any clutter or toys because my youngest sister sleeps in the same room with my mother, and really doesn&#8217;t have her own space. Me and my 12 year old sister have our own rooms so we have places to put all of our things, but my sisters aren&#8217;t as good at <strong>cleaning</strong> up after themselves. </p>
<p>Basically, I&#8217;m just looking for tips on how to organize space better because our house is so messy and it&#8217;s difficult to put things in places where they go, when we don&#8217;t know where we can put things in the house. The messiness of the house stresses out me and my mom, and often when i&#8217;m having a bad day I get panic attacks and get stressed out over the messiness of the house. My mother also has bad days too, and when she gets stressed out she starts getting really upset and talks about how her life is terrible, and she has no money and the house is a mess and no one cares. It makes me and my sisters sad and i&#8217;m just looking for a way to make the house clean and look put-together without spending a lot of money because my mom gets stressed out about that too. She&#8217;s amazing and has done so much for me and my sisters, she comforts me about everything, and makes me laugh all the time, she&#8217;s the most happy, positive person I know, and I can&#8217;t stand to see her stressed out and upset like how she gets sometimes. We&#8217;re almost the same person because of how alike we are. </p>
<p>Is there anything that I can do in a 2 day span (the weekend when she&#8217;s not there) so I can cleanup and organize the house to surprise her and help contribute to keeping the house disorganized. I&#8217;m not looking for <strong>cleaning</strong> methods, but more organization methods so I can keep my sisters stuff more together and less in the way of the general flow of the house. </p>
<p>One other thing that could help would be methods of arranging the furniture to keep the rooms more open and very <strong>zen</strong>. (My mom is really into fung shuei) </p>
<p>Thank you in advance :] </p>

<p class="dtm-content">You are an amazing young lady and have an amazing family!  Something inexpensive would be to get boxes.  Grocery stores and department stores stock their shelves and have leftover boxes.  Go when they are stocking their shelves. I know WalMart stocks late at night or early morning. Get more than you think you will need, because you may need them.  You can group certain toys or items in boxes and label them with a marker what is in them.  I know this is not feng shui but you can store things under the bed.  You can store things under tables and have a long table cloth hang over the edge to the floor.  The table cloth could be made from sheets or a pretty scarf.</p>
<p>If things have a box or place to put them, it will be easier for your sisters to put their things away.  If someone takes a box out and plays with those things, you could make rules with them that they have to put that box of things away before they take something else out. As an example, if they like to color or draw, you could put all the crayons, colored pencils, coloring books. Etc. In one box and label it.  For books and magazines, you can cut the top off a box with a serated knife, lay it on its side and you have a small bookcase or bookends that keep your books neat.  Those can be put on the top of a dresser, table or counter.</p>
<p>For the sister that does not have a place to put things, how about the bottom of the closet or under the bed.  Get boxes that will fit those spaces and she can have one box for pants, one for shirts, etc. And just slide it under the bed.</p>
<p>You will need to remind your sisters about putting their things away right away when they are done with it.  If dishes and cups end up in the livingroom or bedrooms, when someone leaves that room they should take dishes to the kitchen.</p>
<p>You can set up job charts and work together and decide who should do which job and when.</p>
<p>You can set it up where a half hour before bedtime everyone rushes and get the place cleaned up before going to bed.</p>

<h2>Really Gross Story, please help?</h2>
<p>So, my wife and I live in a city that has a lot of rats.  Our <strong>home</strong> is really clean except we share an adjoining wall with my landlord and he is filthy. He had rats in his place and they came over to ours and nested in our oven.  We didn&#8217;t know that at the time but do now.  We&#8217;ve been trying to kill them but didn&#8217;t get them all.  We made dinner in the oven the other night and the next day we were both really sick to our stomachs and have been for several days.  To make it worse, my wife is 3 months pregnant. I&#8217;m worried about her having dysentery or something.  We then found out that rats were living somewhere in the sheet metal voids of the oven and we might have baked feces and then ate the food.  I am so mad!  If it weren&#8217;t for the fact that my landlord is some black belt kung fu <strong>zen</strong> master I would beat his a$$.  PLEASE, don&#8217;t tell me to go to the doctor because we are going but I want to know what I can be looking for and what are some possible illnesses that could have occurred from this.  Thank you</p>

<p class="dtm-content">You&#8217;ll probably be okay; the heat of the oven should kill any disease.</p>

<p>WQ: Shawn Michaels is more memorable, and will be in the HOF first. Randy Orton&#8217;s RKO though is more sudden then the Sweet Chin Music. Shawn Michaels has had more memorable storyline&#8217;s and will be a legend before Orton.</p>

<h2>Opinions on Jack Swagger being the new WHC + YNOA Anarchy results?</h2>
<p>Match One:<br />
Master Of Moves and Red Sexy Cerebral Phenom vs Greatest Performer and Jamie Lee{Debut}<br />
Master of Moves and Greatest Performer start off in the ring. Master Of Moves is looking very cocky right now,and he just goes over to one of the ring posts and lays up against it,yawning and telling Greatest Performer to bring it. And G does bring it. GP quickly runs at MOM and hits a corner clothesline,MOM rolls out of the ring saying &#8220;no fair! I wasnt ready!&#8221;,but GP obviously doesnt care as he bounces of the ropes and sends his legs through hitting Master of Moves with a clean baseball slide to the outside of the ring. Greatest Performer picks up Master Of Moves and throws him into the ring. As Greatest Performer is entering the ring Master of Moves gets up and begins to kick Greatest Perfomer,but his kicks seem to do very little damage as Greatest Performer jumps out of nowhere with a kick of his own,connecting with a hard Superkick to Master Of Moves jaw,sending Master Of Moves falling down to the mat. GP goes for the pin,but only gets a two count. He goes over to his corner and tags in the new diva,Jamie Lee,making Red Sexy Cerebral Phenom the automatic legal competitor as well. Jamie Lee and RSCP enter the ring and run at each other,and its RSCP who gets the advantage by taking down Jamie with a quick shoulder tackle. RSCP picks up Jamie and goes for an early Tombstone, but Jamie flips out,sending RSCP out of the ring with a hurricarana! Jamie runs and throws herself over the top ropes,landing directly ontop of RSCP. Jamie goes to throw in RSCP,and goes for the pin,but only gets a 1 count. As RSCP and Jamie get up, Master Of Moves runs in and attempts to clothesline Jamie,but GP meets him in the ring with another Superkick! Jamie hits RSCP with a Corkscrew Kick as soon as she goes aorund and goes for the cover,1..2..3!<br />
Winners:Greatest Performer and Jamie Lee</p>
<p>Match Two: {Winner advances to compete in the YNOA Tag Team Championship Match @ Proving Grounds}<br />
Risky Business vs Kawaji<br />
Risky Business and Kawaji make their entrance and shake hands in the ring. Risky Business gets the upperhand quick as he takes down Kawaji with a dropkick to his knees, Kawaji falls down on his knees,and Risky Business dropkicks Kawaji again,this time making Kawaji flip backwards. As Kawaji flips,he gets <strong>back</strong> to his feet,and Risky Business runs at him,and Kawaji meets him with a spear! Kawaji goes for the pin 1&#8230;2..3!<br />
Winner: Kawaji</p>

Bio-Hazard,the man who attacked Kawaji in their match last week is here to take on the man who The Funking Punk defeated for the YNOA World Championship,the crowd could feel the tension between them as they both looked into each others eyes and locked up. Bio-Hazard gets the upperhand quick,hitting Siberian Wolverine with a few European Uppercuts and whips him into the corner. Bio-Walks over to SW and goes to grab him,but SW kicks Bio-Hazard in the gut and throws him into the corner. SW sets up Bio-Hazard for a Superplex,but Bio begins to punch SW in the ribs area. SW falls down to the mat below,and Bio takes this time to set up for an Elbow Drop,but SW quickly gets up,and Bio decides to take another route- Bio quickly jumps off and attempts a Body Splash off the turnbuckle onto SW,but SW catches him and hits him with a Wolf Bomb! SW goes for the pin 1..2..3!<br />

<p class="dtm-content">Don&#8217;t be a copy cat and make you&#8217;re own finisher.Or at least dont use finisher that we see almost everytime.Why don&#8217;t you form a stable with someone who is not DX?They rarely appear,you&#8217;d be better off forming a stable with Colin Delanie(who appears weekly).<br />
Same for the quotes.</p>
<p>Overrall:Yes.I would put you on Smackdown until you have your finishers instead of What is basically a Superkick and a Frog Splash.I like the other one though.Then once you developed yourself i would pu you on RAW.<br />
But one more thing:Are you good on the mic.?Nobody want&#8217;s too see a champion that is boring or can&#8217;t talk on the mic(Bobby Lashley)</p>

<h2>saw bad dreams about me and my family. its creating anxiety and panic attack. whats these dreams means?</h2>
<p>i am a 14 year old boy from india and lives at a big city with my mom a 34 year old widow. i dont know why but i started doing a <strong>meditation</strong> course 6 months ago which suppose to increase my visition and after that i saw bad dreams about me and my mom.first i thought i just saw it randomley but lately i can remember them as i started to write them down when i woke up scared. i didnt told anybudy about this so they wont be scared but what these dreams means?i saw 10 of them in last 2 month and have lot of common threades.<br />
1.i saw that me and mom are kidnapped by some dakus who are taking us on horse backs, our hands are tied behind our back and we are tightely gagged with woden bit gags and helplessley taken away.<br />
2. another dream i saw that my math and english teacher is holding mom hostage and demanding high grades from me otherwise they will harm her.she is sitting on a <strong>chair</strong> infront of me tightely mouth gagged and tied and i am trying to solve the math and english grammar problems.<br />
3. the trird dream was similer type&#8230;&#8230;.this time i was a computer genious and some evil criminels are kipping mom mouth taped and tied to a <strong>chair</strong> while i crack pass word for them.<br />
4. another one i saw mom is wearing a bikini and she is a spy and bad people are kidnapping her. i wake up when they were tying some cloth to her mouth.<br />
5.i starting seeing more often more bad stuffs about her being in danger. i dont know why but i saw the local prist is a bad villen and he tightely gagged and bound her and trying to force her to submit to evil lord.<br />
&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..like this i frequently saw more dreams her being in great danger. mostly she would be kidnapped or held hostage by bad people&#8230;all the dreams her hands were tied and her mouth was very tightely gagged. why i am seeing these dreams?</p>

<h3>meditation chair | meditation bench | meditation stool | meditation pillow | meditation cushion answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">You need to understand that your dream is just a symbol for something else</p>
<p>Like you and your mom being kidnapped could mean that you and your mom are heading down a road that neither have any control over.</p>
<p>The second dream could just have to do with your struggles in his class.. Or it could totally be something else.</p>
<p>And it could also mean that you watched a move that had simular story line and you&#8217;re just dreaming with no meaning behind it at all</p>

<h2>Help me with my nerves!?</h2>
<p>I have a music competition tomorrow and I am rather apathetic on my performance. I am first <strong>chair</strong> cello in my orchestra and my school district forces students to preform in this competition! This is my 7th year being forced and I finally said &#8220;ENOUGH!&#8221; It&#8217;s rather odd to as it&#8217;s purely a pass/fail assignment. But I haven&#8217;t really practiced my solo much and I&#8217;m going to do bad, It feels so good but I&#8217;m also very worried, why am I worried!? How can I calm myself? I&#8217;ve tried <strong>meditation</strong>, breathing excersises, even the all mighty 2 mile run has not eased my nerves. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t even know why I&#8217;m so anxious, but I basically want it over. </p>
<p>This is a rambly question &#8211; anyways just give me some reasons not to care, fill my mind with pseudo-confidence, and give me a few tips on how to relax!</p>
<p>Thanks much!</p>
<p>Now that I&#8217;ve read it over this question seems ridiculously, normally I would delete it but as I&#8217;m already throwing caution to the wind tomorrow I&#8217;m going to post it. I like to play games with myself haha.<br />
You can tell my state of mind is altered by my jumbled speech, sorry. I&#8217;m normally more eloquent.</p>

<h2>how do i wake up from such a spaced-out life?</h2>
<p>Lately I have been feeling very &#8216;spaced-out&#8217; all day, actually fro all times for as long as i can remember. I think that it has been like this for half a year and has just been getting worse. I feel like I am just living like a zombie and repeating the same thing day after day. But, even when I do something out of the ordinary, like going hiking or something, I still feel un-alive and just &#8216;blah&#8217;. I feel like I am wasting my life by sleepwalking though it and waiting for something to snap me out of it. I don&#8217;t feel motivated to do anything. And, everyday I say &#8220;I&#8217;ll do better tomorrow&#8221; but I never ever do! By &#8216;better&#8217;, I mean accomplishing things, eating better, being alive and happier, having fun, filfilling my to-do list, etc. But I never do complete my to-do lists even though they are painfully simple! I always put it off to tomorrow and get lazy which I cant help. Or, I for some reason decide that the things are unimprtant even though they are, and I  never get anything done all day. I dont even know how I fill ip the 24-hours in a day because I am never ever doing anything! And I always plan on eating healthy for the day, but as soon as I eat something, I cant stop so I eat more! and even when I get full, I decide &#8220;well, I have already ruined my healthy eating so I mind as well eat all the junk food I want and do better tomorrow&#8221;. except, i say that EVERY day and NEVER do better the next day! when i wake up in the morning I meditate and say &#8216;im not going to think violent or bad, stressful thoughts today&#8217; but i always do! i also make to-do lists of important thigns to do but never fulfil it. Always putting it off to tomorrow (same with healthy eatung, exercise, homework, reconnecting with friends, hobbies, cleaning, having fun, etc). all I do all day is move from <strong>chair</strong> to couch to bed, eat, rest, shower, make to-do lists that i never do, and sleep. it is pathetic and unmotivational. i am never going to have a pleasant life because i never do things to make me happy. i used to be an incredible writer, painter, crafter, knitter, etc&#8230;. but these days, whenever i sit infront of the word document (or paper, canvas, yarn, etc)&#8230; nothing happens. i type a sentence then delete it because it sucks, i draw and outline then scrap it cause it sucks, i lost all of my skill abilities. i do have some friends and a boyfriend  (who i am engaged to) but i never talk to my friends anymore and my conversations with my boyfriend are brief and not as deep as they used to be. what should i do? anti depressants never work for me. i always freeze up in my therapy sessions and never say all of my problems. i have tried all kinds of remedies: <strong>meditation</strong>, fasting, etc. i eiether give up or they dont work anyway. i dont know what to do anymore, i feel like i am walking around with cloudy dirty glasses and i need to put on a fresh pair. i feel so detatched from everything and i want it to feel like i feel when im on ecstasy (because i remember when my life was normal, and it felt more like ecstasy then the life i have now. my sesnses were sharper and i didnt feel like i was hauling ball and chains on my feet like how i feel now) i want to be able to live again, what should i do?</p>
<p>by the way, i am diagnosed with bipolar depression. medication isnt an option. what should i do? i feel like admitting myself to an insane living home sometimes because at least if i was there other people would know how i feel instead of me having to see happy people all day and know that i am not like that. what should i do?</p>

<p class="dtm-content">Bipolar is just a nonsense term. Medication has nothing to do with it.</p>
<p>You are asleep. Everybody is, by the way. Its just that most people don&#8217;t feel like they&#8217;re asleep or if they do, they don&#8217;t do anything about it.</p>
<p>There is a little known system of self study, called the fourth way that examines each of the things you mentioned. We are composed of many I&#8217;s. Thousand of different I&#8217;s that compete for attention. One I decides to quit smoking and then another I can&#8217;t stop because you&#8217;re already addicted. One I decides to eat healthy but then a group of other I&#8217;s that don&#8217;t care about health are more powerful than the I that wants to eat.</p>
<p>We use the term &#8220;I&#8221; in our conversations and it&#8217;s a lie because we are not ONE. Like I said, we are composed of many thousands of different &#8220;I&#8217;s&#8221;. There is a way to control the I&#8217;s and it has something to do with developing an I that watches the other I&#8217;s. This observing I is called the deputy steward. Whenever you remember to do it, you should try to REMEMBER yourself. Your inabilitiy to REMEMBER YOURSELF is why you are asleep. Self-remembering is a psychological state in which you are conscious of your consciousness. You deliberately become aware of yourself in the moment. </p>
<p>This could eventually lead to you penetrating a third state of consciousness, and with it, the awakening of an inner mind, the properties of which appear MAGICAL to ordinary consciousness. But this is a very long way from us right now. </p>

<h2>Ramadan: How many of you know about Bayazid Bastami R.A. and his dialogue with the Rabbi?</h2>
<p>Bayazid Bastami &amp; the Rabbi<br />
One day Hadhrat Bayazid Bastami rahmatullah alayhi while in <strong>meditation</strong>, saw himself in a synagogue dressed as a Jew. At first he was confused, but when he kept on seeing the same vision over and over again, he decided to enact it. So, he dressed himself as a Jew and went to their synagogue.</p>
<p>When the Jews and their scholars were present, their chief Rabbi stood up to speak. But when he stood up, his tongue became stuck and he could not talk. After he had been standing quietly for some time, the Jews started to complain. The Rabbi said, &#8220;In this gathering there is a follower of the Prophet Muhammed (sallalahu alayhi wassalam) and I cannot speak because he has come to examine us.&#8221;</p>
<p>On hearing this, their anger raged like wildfire and they asked the Rabbi to give them permission to kill this follower of the Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu alayhi wassalam). The Rabbi replied, &#8220;He cannot be killed without proof, so we must talk to him peacefully and respectfully and then we can decide.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Rabbi then said, &#8220;Oh follower of Muhammad (sallalahu alayhi wassalam). For the sake of your Prophet please stand up in your place. If you can remove our doubt about Islam then we shall accept Islam, but if you can&#8217;t, then we shall kill you.&#8221; On hearing this, Hadhrat Bayazid rahmatullah alayhi stood up and gave permission for them to question him.</p>
<p>Rabbi: What is one and not two?<br />
Bayazid: Allah.</p>

[Qur'aan chapter 27 Verse 48:<br />

"So keep the three Haj days and seven fasts when you return".]</p>
<p>Rabbi: What is eleven, twelve and thirteen things which Allah has mentioned?<br />

<h3>meditation chair | meditation bench | meditation stool | meditation pillow | meditation cushion answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">There are many theories about how to interpret dreams. What you&#8217;re dreaming is not going to happen. It&#8217;s your mind trying to make sense of ideas and feelings that matter to you.</p>
<p>In the end; only you can decide which meaning feels right. Once you do &#8211; once you &#8216;get the message&#8217; &#8211; the dreams usually subside.</p>
<p>The theory I favour most holds that every thing in your dream represents some part of you and who you are. Most vivid and persistent dreams happen at a time of great personal change.</p>
<p>At 14 there would be many changes going on inside you.</p>
<p>You might be scared of losing your mother&#8217;s affections if you don&#8217;t do well at school. At the same time, changes in our relationships with each parent is natural as a boy transitions to a man/ or a girl to a woman. </p>
<p>It sounds like the dreams make you feel helpless; restrained and pressured to perform at a high level. Maybe it will help to talk to your mother about her expectations of you. I suspect you&#8217;ll find that she&#8217;ll be happy if you just do your best; and you need to be happy to just do your best &#8211; just get her reassurance.</p>
<p>I hope they settle soon and give you peace.</p>

<h2>How should I attempt WILD dreaming?</h2>
<p>Wake<br />
Initiated<br />
Lucid<br />
Dreaming</p>
<p>I am going to start trying tonight, technically tomorrow since I will wake up 5.5 hours after I go to bed, but anyway.  I tried this morning, and I know this isn&#8217;t exactly the EASIEST thing to succeed at, but I just couldn&#8217;t do it.  I tried before I went to bed one night and I think I had more success then even if it wasn&#8217;t really possible since I didn&#8217;t just wake from REM sleep.  It felt so weird, I just stayed still flat on my back and tried to relax, but I ended up falling asleep I believe and I didn&#8217;t get very far.  So I have a couple of questions on how to improve/how to do it PERIOD.</p>
<p>#1: What should I do when my alarm clock goes off 5 and 1/2 hours after I get in bed?  As in, should I flip it off immediately and start attempting WILD, should I stay up for 20 minutes (just lay in bed thinking while awake) and THEN attempt WILD, should I&#8230;?</p>
<p>#2: Should I be in a certain position when <strong>laying</strong> <strong>down</strong> when attempting WILD?  Should I be flat on my back, or can I be in any position I want?</p>
<p>#3: What should I be thinking in my head when I try to enter a WILD?  Should I think about how relaxed every muscle is, think about the dream scene I enter, repeat something over and over in my mind?  What should be going through my head?</p>
<p>#4: How should I respond to the blobs of color appearing and disappearing?  Should I just ignore them?</p>
<p>#5: What are some signs that I am succeeding before I enter the WILD dream?</p>
<p>That is the last of the while-it-is-in-the-process questions.  Now here are two other questions I have:</p>
<p>#1: Is there any way I can practice WILD dreaming while awake besides <strong>meditation</strong>?  That will help me get the best results and succeed easier?</p>
<p>#2: Approximately how long will it take before succeeding if I practice attempting a WILD dream every night, or early morning, whatever you prefer to call it?  As in, a month, two months&#8230;a year?<br />
By the way&#8211;thank you and sorry for the long question!  If you know the answers to one or two of my many questions but not all of them, feel free to give the answers to the ones you know!  Thanks and good day!</p>

<h3>meditation chair | meditation bench | meditation stool | meditation pillow | meditation cushion answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">Hi. I&#8217;ll do my best to help as it&#8217;s been a while since i have practised this (not enough quiet time these days!!</p>
<p>#1: Try and find an alarm clock which will switch itself off after a short time. It&#8217;s likely that when it wakes you, your body will be very relaxed and having to reach over and fumble with an alarm will interrupt this and begin the physical process of waking. If this is not an option, make sure you can switch off the alarm with minimal effort and movement. This is the key time too&#8230; You should allow mind to drift in that zone between dreamtime and waking</p>
<p>#2: As long as you are relaxed and comfortable, the position shouldn&#8217;t matter, however I always like to be on my back, habds beside me and one arm hanging off the bed!</p>
<p>#3: Your mind should be thinking whatever it pleases. The moment you begin &#8220;trying&#8221; to do this is the moment you begin to lose the dream state&#8230; However, you do need to assert a certain control in order to grasp the lucidity. The coulored blobs you see are an excellent tool for this. Embrace them, play with them and actively manipulate them (colour, shape, direction of movement). Be curious of what your mind is giving you and interact as best you can!</p>
<p>#4: <img src='http://www.meditationstool.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' title="Your Questions About Meditation Positions Laying Down" /> </p>
<p>#5: You will begin to notice that you can conjure images at will without trying, and you&#8217;ll feel a sense of joy and peace. I always feel as though i&#8217;m smiling. Dont be frustrated if you have something specific you want to see/feel. This will push it further away. Just be patient and it will come. It&#8217;s the suggestion which is key.</p>
<p>To answer the last 2 questions, You can practice by relaxing and completely de focussing your eyes, or daydreaming as some may call it! Keep your eyes de-focussed but looking in the direction of something specific. I used to look at a cat curled up on the floor and de-focus, but keep my mind on the image. From there i could make the cat disappear and reappear at will and even make it stand up and walk out of the room (all in my mind of course! I&#8217;d focus again and the cat was still very much asleep on the floor). This will help train your mind to accept the influences of sensory input and manipulate them at your wish. You dont need to be anywhere quiet particularly as long as you are adept at shutting out distractions.</p>
<p>With regards to how long it takes, I cannot answer that. I was always a daydreamer and it is something which i discovered I could do by accident and as long as it&#8217;s nurtured, it is something which only grows and becomes more fun!</p>
<p>I hope this helps and would love to hear about your progress!<br />

<h2>Question about meditation?</h2>

<p>2.  Should there be complete silence or can I put some peaceful ambient music?  Also should the lights be on or off?</p>
<p>3.  I&#8217;m supposed to silence my mind right?  How can I do that?  It seems I am always mentally vocalizing my thoughts, and I can&#8217;t stop them before they happen because mental thoughts are spontaneous.</p>

<h3>meditation chair | meditation bench | meditation stool | meditation pillow | meditation cushion answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">To be successful in meditation the sitting position does not matter at all. Just sit on a chair with a straight back (like a dining table chair). You have to only be physically comfortable.</p>
<p>The purpose of meditation is to improve your mind and not your physical positioning.  Even a person without arms and legs could be successful in meditation. The most difficult aspect is to clear your mind of the untamed stream of thoughts.</p>

<h2>I smoked a legal herb, and went to hell.?</h2>
<p>Last night sometime after midnight, I smoked a legal plant. I can&#8217;t remember what it was called, but it had the word &#8220;stars&#8221; it its name. I&#8217;ve been trying to find it online but it&#8217;s eluded me so far. Okay, so I&#8217;m going to describe the experience. Nothing about this experience was pleasant. First of all, I am familiar with <strong>meditation</strong> and know how to regulate meditative breathing. I took two really large hits of this herb, thinking it wouldn&#8217;t be very hard. I was wrong. Within about 1 minute, I started feeling really dizzy and I remember saying, &#8220;This feels exactly like when I am about to have a blackout.&#8221; Then, everything started drastically altering <strong>down</strong> hill. I was sitting on the floor in a lotus position, and suddenly my entire being was vibrating violently. It was the most horrid sensation of my life, and it lasted, in severity, about 45 minutes to an hour of nonstop hell. Luckily, my wife was there and she was completely sober. She cradled me and held me and it comforted me a lot, but the sensation was no less agonizing. I remember almost everything. I full fledge weeped in her arms a couple of times, and at one point I was repeating the words, &#8220;This is terrible, this is terrible; I&#8217;m in hell, oh my god, oh my god&#8230;&#8221; etc. I don&#8217;t even believe in God and I started praying, &#8220;God please help me.&#8221; Here&#8217;s a strange sensation that was overpowering: every thing in existence and every thing I felt was mentally represented in my head by shapes. Each sensation had a shape and pattern to it. The act of swallowing, the feeling of holding on to my wife. It was represented in the center of my consciousness by a unique shape. After about 25 minutes or so, I vomited into my wife&#8217;s lap. It wasn&#8217;t the last time. I puked about 3 or 4 more times. My wife kept me hydrated with water and at some point I was fed pieces of bread. All of this helped ever so slightly. After about 40 minutes, I started falling asleep. They laid me <strong>down</strong> where I was and helped me remain comfortable. I fell asleep and woke up on the floor after maybe an hour and was finally slightly lucid. I was able to look at my wife and speak. She helped me get up and take a shower with her, then we went to bed. As I was falling asleep in bed, the effects began to come back and I fearfully clung to my wife for comfort. She was able to coax me back to sleep and now it&#8217;s 7:43 AM and I still feel a very unpleasant &#8220;edginess&#8221; over my whole being. I will never try this herb ever again. This is less of a question and more of a &#8220;bad trip&#8221; blog. Thanks for reading.</p>

<h2>Online free shopping carts&#8230; which to use? What is the most secure? Which one can I use Scripts with?</h2>
<p>Ok, so I am finally trying to take advantage of my online shopping carts installed <strong>by</strong> bluehost.  The problem is, I don&#8217;t know anything about shopping carts&#8230; yet.  Seems I have a choice between <strong>Zen</strong> Cart, Agora, oSCommerce, and CubeCart&#8230;   So which is the most secure?  How about the easiest?  What I would really like to do is <strong>design</strong> or download PHP, ASP, JavaScripts, to use with the shopping cart.  Which is the best for that?  How about overall with security being the priority?  Will any one in particular, (maybe all), allow someone to pay with a credit card then after that is done be able to automatically retrieve an encrypted key and e-mail it to that person?  Or e-mail the person with a website link so that they can download something?  Wow, the shopping cart world is the most interesting, I could however use a little guidence.</p>

<p class="dtm-content">Nice question.  Well I would say that Zen Cart and oScommerce are going to be the best options.  They are both php based I believe, I know oscommerce is for sure.  The problem with free carts is that they are developed via random developers, so there are quite a few people that know the internal workings.  This becomes a problem when it comes to security.  There are many holes with the free carts and that is why they are not good to use.  You can find a lot of stuff on oscommerce about making it more secure, so all in all I would choose that one.  You can setup everything via some php coding to get the settings you want!</p>

<h2>What might be a good estimate for the cost of this landscaping (photos)?</h2>
<p>Before you delve into my text wall, if you have no idea what it could cost based on my info, but know a good place to ask (landscaping website or other source), then just posting that as an answer is helpful too!</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>My parents have bought a new-built home, and there is no yard and fencing. My dad is the type to look for the cheapest option for a yard, as long as he has a place to grill. My mom wants an Asia-themed garden, with Feng Shui and <strong>Zen</strong> elements. Since I&#8217;m in school for <strong>design</strong> (not landscaping <strong>design</strong>, but&#8230; doesn&#8217;t make much of a difference to my parents), they asked me to put together a concept for the back yard.</p>
<p>I threw something together in Sketchup:</p>
<p>http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b101/pua_wahine/LandscapeSnap.png</p>
<p>http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b101/pua_wahine/LandscapeSnap5.png</p>
<p>http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b101/pua_wahine/LandscapeSnap4.png</p>
<p>http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b101/pua_wahine/LandscapeSnap2.png</p>
<p>http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b101/pua_wahine/LandscapeSnap7.png</p>
<p>The house faces north. I have the back elevated section with a retaining wall because the surrounding properties and part of our southwest corner are about that height, the same height of our basement that is visible above ground; this would be level with the first floor. The hardscaping and steps could be concrete &#8211; doesn&#8217;t have to be too fancy. The retaining wall as well can be simple cinderblock; we can stucco that later. The green area around that with the plants, and at the side of the garage could be gravel/pebbles or a groundcover such as moss &#8211; I&#8217;m leaning more towards pebbles because moss likely wouldn&#8217;t do well in our climate unless we maintain it well (hadiness zone 6/7, extremely dry and hot summers). The plants along the retaining wall I plan to be blue rug juniper, and the tree a Japanese maple. At the side of the house, <strong>by</strong> the garage, we&#8217;d like bamboo. There will be other plants, but the maple, bamboo and juniper are the only specific plants we&#8217;re looking at. The whole rest of the back yard would be sod (back yard on east side stops at the corner of the south wall). Other elements, such as the pergola, fire pit, furniture etc would come later and are not considered in part of the cost at the moment.</p>
<p>As far as dimensions, the height of the retaining wall would be 3 ft. The distance from the south wall (kitchen wall, w/ back door) to the fence is 40 ft; the south wall that sticks out extends 4 ft. The length from the west fence to the east fence (to corner of house) would be 60ft. The dimensions of the elevated section specifically would be 40&#8242; north to south, 45&#8242; east to west. </p>
<p>I realize the 3D model is a little off on proportions but it&#8217;s just for a visual to get the general idea of the <strong>design</strong>.<br />
Forgot to add location to help decipher costs! We&#8217;re in Utah County, Utah, closer to the lake. Lehi/Saratoga Springs/American Fork area.</p>

<h3>meditation chair | meditation bench | meditation stool | meditation pillow | meditation cushion answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">First of all great job on the layout of design. </p>
<p> Check online before traveling every where. Might want to start with a budget. How much does your parents want to spend? Is this a Do-It-Yourself project? Do you want to take your time or just get it done?  Things you need to do in order to get the project done. Itemize.  Write down the prices and compare. Measure the area for your patio, L&#8217; x W&#8217; x H&#8217; x D&#8217;.  Then call some concrete places and ask how much it would cost with the measurements you wrote. They may ask you other questions.<br />
Check out your local vendors &#8211; Lowe&#8217;s, Home Depot, other nurseries, tree farms, etc on prices of plants, trees, shrubs, flowers.</p>
<p> Have you checked out local Landscape Contractors or Nurseries? Look to see if they offer &#8220;free estimates or consultations.&#8221;  Business&#8217;s who offer this will come out to your house, walk around and ask for your input. Tell them what you want to do with the yard. They will go back to their office and do exactly what you did on your computer or sketch it on paper. Set up an appt to see their design and go from there. Shop around, see what each place tells you before making a decision.  Ask about their plants, growth time, guarantees on trees.</p>
<p> Japanese Maple are a slow growing tree. It likes shade so if the tree has morning sun, but afternoon shade-great! Otherwise the leaves can burn in the hot sun.<br />
 Plants &#8211; mentioned Bamboo. Get Clumping bamboo. It grows exactly like it states. Easier to maintain and cut if necessary. Does your parents like to grow things?  Vegetable garden? Flowers? Herbs? Buy Hybrid anything.  Use Raised Garden Beds. Or use the Upside Down Tomato device. It works on all kinds of vegetables.</p>
<p> Concrete is expensive. If you have any rock quarries in your area, you may save money in that area. Any outlets of any kind will help. If you have them try using large rocks in place of maybe a paver. It could be used to sit on as well around the fire pit. Pebbles will wash away when it rains, unless you use a barrier of some sort. Decorative steel or metal with posts that insert into the ground to secure it.</p>
<p> Furniture-what do you want? Cushions? Resin is a good product and expensive. Check out their website www.resin furniture.com; www.landscapeplanet.com. Resin products are great for outdoors. Teak wood furniture. Expensive but good in the weather. Www.teakfurniture.com Might get better sales if you wait until the winter. No one will want to go out and sit in the snow. It won&#8217;t matter how hot that fire pit will get.<br />
 Fire pit &#8211; what kind do you want? One that stays put or one that you can move out of the way? </p>
<p> Sod &#8211; check out www.costhelper.com; www.garden.lovetoknow.com; www.wisegeek.com and www.sodding.com/cost </p>
<p> What about lighting for outside? Are you going to outline the patio area with Solar Outdoor Lights? Hanging lanterns? Tiki torches? You can purchase these any where. SAM&#8217;s, Lowe&#8217;s, home depot. What about the area your Dad wants to grill? Do you have adequate lighting? Go to website: www.lightinguniverse.com/outdoor. Scroll down to the picture Minka Aire F-402 ORB Gyro outdoor fan. This has 2 lights and the fans oscillate. Has nice features. Comes with a switch that we put  inside the house near the other outdoor lights, but the switch may be able to go in the garage.</p>
<p> On the 3D model, the image showed stairs leading from the patio to the yard. Don&#8217;t know how old your parents are or health, but I do know that we do get old. Instead of stairs, how about a gradual slope? Easier for anyone that uses a walker, wheelchair, scooter, whatever.</p>
<p>No offense to anyone, but please be careful when looking at Landscape designers. One Nursery didn&#8217;t have someone to draw up our plans but he recommended someone. He was gracious enough to tell us how much they would charge us. $100.00 an hour was too steep when we can make up own plans. Maybe you&#8217;re going to the wrong design school.</p>
<p>Sorry if this is a lot of information to absorb. Good luck!</p>

<h2>Do you think I have the best sims 3 family idea ever?</h2>
<p>So, here are the steps to doing this thing&#8230; (Suggested names for humans and buildings will be mentioned at the end of the article) </p>
<p>1&#8212;&#8212;-Go through the town; bulldoze every last building (you might want to start a whole new game for this).</p>
<p>2&#8212;&#8212;-Scroll down to the beach. Scroll to the right once you see the beach. Go into the lot that stretches horizontally. </p>
<p>3&#8212;&#8212;-Build a mountain that stretches of a &#8220;C&#8221; shape turned 90 degrees to the right, facing that ocean. While you’re at it, make a very small room&#8230; You&#8217;ll see why.</p>
<p>4&#8212;&#8212;-Edit Town</p>
<p>5&#8212;&#8212;-Make a family of a blonde mom, a bearded dad, a teenage son like the dad, a pregnant redheaded woman, and an elderly man. Have the men wear cargo pants that are customized to be from cow&#8217;s fur on the leather and furs category. Their shirts should be muscle shirts made with leather, again, from the leather and furs category. The women should wear shirts made with cow&#8217;s fur or leather. Their pants should be those skirts that reach even over their ankles and be colored using ONLY cow&#8217;s fur, or else it looks terrible, trust me. That&#8217;s why the shirts should be leather&#8230; THEY SHOULD ALL BE BAREFOOT. They’re not going to be indoors at all, sort of an all life camping thing.</p>
<p>6&#8212;&#8212;-Move the family into the house you just edited.</p>
<p>7&#8212;&#8212;-Edit Town.</p>
<p>8&#8212;&#8212;-Make a family with a rich man. He can be randomized because he will just die anyway. The girl must only wear white. Make her wear white makeup, and choose the hair with a white flower in it. She&#8217;s a happy teenager. There father and daughter.</p>
<p>9&#8212;&#8212;-Move them into any lot you <strong>design</strong> as the first one.</p>
<p>10&#8212;&#8212;-After their moved in, kill the father either <strong>by</strong> aging him over and over again using &#8220;testingcheatsenabled true&#8221; and holding shift while left clicking him, or drown him in the pool <strong>by</strong> making a pool and making a wall that touches the edge of the pool.</p>
<p>11&#8212;&#8212;-Make her now wear leathers and furs and dress like the rest of the people. Make her makeup all black. Take the flower out of her hair. Have her have a fire pit and sit around it. Fish and veggies she gathers she will roast <strong>by</strong> clicking on the fire pit and selecting roast something. Anything edible in her inventory she can roast. She will fast and be miserable for a couple of days.</p>
<p>12&#8212;&#8212;-Just to clear some things up: This is how the other family lives. Also, they sleep in a tent. You can cheat <strong>by</strong> holding &#8220;Ctrl Shift C&#8221;, and that pops up a window that you type in &#8220;testingcheatsenabled true&#8221; or &#8220;kaching&#8221; for 1,000 dollars. After her dad dies, go to France and buy a Kenspa at the general store. Go back and use the eyedropper to copy it. A whole lot of things will pop up. Spawn fish from exotic places in ponds, spawn bugs, too. But go back to the first tab to the left. Scroll down and you&#8217;ll see some general store items you can get anywhere out of the country. Like Instant Showers and Tents. You will sleep in the tent, but customize it using Leathers and Furs tab. The fire pit can be made with snake or crocodile skin. Its fun.</p>
<p>13&#8212;&#8212;-She meets the other family and moves in with them. She befriends the teenage boy and becomes his girlfriend. They train for martial arts with the dummy and board breaker bought through the Kenspa. Spawn plants for the family to eat and live off of. It’s up to you what they spend their days doing. Think super primitive, Neolithic, hunting and gathering…</p>
<p>14&#8212;&#8212;-Now that the story is progressing, leave them alone for a while and go build a temple up near that waterfall very far north. Make it like a hexagon so you can use the roof shaped like that. Make it super Chinese-like and all <strong>Zen</strong> and things. In the lot right in front of it, make a gym but shroud the outside in heavy trees. Make the middle filled with gym equipment, but still “out in the wilderness-like”.</p>
<p>15&#8212;&#8212;-Make the temple residential.</p>
<p>16&#8212;&#8212;-Make the gym no Visitors Allowed.</p>
<p>17&#8212;&#8212;-Go back to the game and keep training and make pregnancies and advance a story you want with the other family members but keep the girl and the boy training martial arts and athletics.</p>
<p>18&#8212;&#8212;-When they become young adults, leave the family and forget about them.</p>
<p>19&#8212;&#8212;-Have the boy and girl buy a house/campsite like the other families, either <strong>by</strong> the sea or<br />
inland. KEEP TRAINING THEM!! Girl should always be more skilled then the boy!!</p>
<p>20&#8212;&#8212;-Have the boy get the girl pregnant right before she leaves for a tournament. Messes up her life, she gets mad at boy because she can&#8217;t practice martial arts while she’s pregnant, and she breaks up with him. But she still wants to be friends. Boy is very angry and hates her for a long time. Girl hates the kid but tries to be a good mom.</p>
<p>21&#8212;&#8212;-She goes &#8220;years&#8221; away at tournaments whenever she can. Kid barely knows her. She wins Grand Master. Kid is about a ch<br />
hild stage now and girl is about an adult. She wants to be back with boy already. Girl is still training athletically and with martial arts.<br />
22&#8212;&#8212;-Girl calls boy sometimes&#8230;Boy is ready to be friends again. They hook up and eventually become boy and girlfriend again. This time, they get married. When both of them get their athletic and martial arts skills perfected, they move into the temple with the kid.<br />
23&#8212;&#8212;-What I did at this point: I realized the boy shouldn’t be married to the girl and broke them up, but they kept clicking so I made them just friends. If you want to play out my story, this marriage thing is just an option.<br />
24&#8212;&#8212;-Bet you forgot about the family, huh? Well, from here it&#8217;s up to you.<br />
25&#8212;&#8212;-I changed the household to the family that I forgot about. There was only the redheaded lady and her kid who was about a teenager then. The rest of the family disappeared and was no where to be seen. They didn’t move or die (it said so in the family tree in the “Simoligy” tab. The redhead was an elder and looked really frazzled.<br />
26&#8212;&#8212;-I changed the woman’s traits to be things like “Insane”, “Mean-Spirited” and “Evil”.<br />
27&#8212;&#8212;-The woman went to the temple and basically yelled at the girl, “saying” things like, “you left us there to fend for ourselves while you’re up here in your ivory tower”, “we raised you when your father died and you give nothing back”, and “we fed and clothed you for 10 years, and you expect we want nothing in return”.<br />
28&#8212;&#8212;-The girl, in her philosophy of <strong>Zen</strong> and Peace, tried to befriend her but the crazy lady was really angry.<br />
29&#8212;&#8212;-I let that story fester and created a family that consisted of an elder with black hair, black makeup and eye shado<br />
OMG this is really hard to fit&#8230; Just&#8230;I&#8217;ll make a part 2 now&#8230;</p>

<h2>am I Becoming less left brained?</h2>
<p>I have an interesting problem (although that may be only opinion) but in the last year I&#8217;ve noticed myself doing exponentially better at school than I ever have in my entire life. I made the Deans list at college twice, and I intend to this semester also. Since High School I was a balanced brained individual (I have had tests, and therapists tell me such things. well, tests, and therapists who&#8217;ve round about confirmed those tests) but in the last year like I&#8217;ve said, I have become significantly more left brained, and analytical. hence the good grades. </p>
<p>I recently switched my major to Fine Arts, from Graphic <strong>Design</strong>, which is another thing to account for my grades going up, so yes I became more left brained but not as much as you&#8217;d think. </p>
<p>That being said, I used to be able to read lists, fathoms of information and retain it like I once did with music (I was in band all 4 years of HS, and it was my <strong>zen</strong> XD) and be able to rattle off what I&#8217;d learnt, again like I used to memorize and play music. Until recently, I&#8217;ve become again more balanced brained. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ll slightly jot down notes, write out passages one minute, then randomly include a page number instead of an actual note the next. I&#8217;ll highlight notes for one class and summarize lectures in a notebook for another. </p>
<p>also with non-school related things I seem to be slipping into right brained territory again (not a bad thing) but it&#8217;s frustrating when I can only explain something <strong>by</strong> drawing it lol. I try remembering names, but I only remember faces so a good friend&#8217;s wife is rendered &#8220;that small girl with the red hair who doesn&#8217;t talk a lot.&#8221; or &#8220;John&#8217;s Wife.&#8221; at least I think it&#8217;s his wife O_o</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not even the half of it. I&#8217;ll be asked what I ate, and all that will come to mind is the taste of what I ate, or the aroma, or what it looked like. it&#8217;s name will escape me time and again. </p>
<p>can one become right brained from lack of effort in using his/her left brain as much as he/she once did? This would be very easy for me to do, as I tend to shift towards my creative (happy place) more often than I try to decifer heiroglyphics (I&#8217;m sorry math) and attempt writing in alien (I mean writing code) lol</p>
<p>reason I ask this, above all else, is just sheer curiosity, as my grades haven&#8217;t yet been effected <strong>by</strong> this. I just don&#8217;t want to become my lazy scatterbrained self again, as I know that&#8217;s far too easy to let happen especially now.<br />
Wow lots of people replied. yes I probably do have the sides mixed up whoever posted that haha</p>
<p>yes, to the first poster &#8220;Lol&#8221; </p>
<p>yeah that&#8217;s probably it, becoming more specialized, Finding it hard to focus on anything but haha. Should have taken my core electives early on. But hey that&#8217;s life right? </p>
<p>probably not possible is what I&#8217;d say too whoever posted THAT. </p>
<p>thanks!</p>

<p class="dtm-content">I think you are peaking in being able to learn, and you are training yourself to learn more.  I think you could be just becoming more specialized due to becoming more familiar with your major now that you are doing graphic arts that is probably what you are doing repeatedly.</p>
<p>Been there, done that&#8230; I got to be a really good writer suddenly in my 2nd to last year in college due to writing many English papers prior.</p>

To try and get the student in a meditative state of mind through deep thought.So they might actually achieve enlightenment, which is a knowing/feeling, that cannot be described in words. And to help the student overcome ego and false pride, by not trying to come up with intelligent answers for stupid questions.</p>

<h2>which school of Buddhism would you choose and why?</h2>
<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>After some time reading and joining some <strong>meditation</strong> sessions in different schools of <strong>Buddhism</strong> I came to realise that if I want to get somewhere I better stick to one practice-tradition.</p>
<p>But I find them all so deep and interesting that it&#8217;s becoming a hard choice.</p>
<p>I see Theravada maybe as a more direct <strong>technique</strong>, but <strong>Zen</strong> is so beautiful and rich! Tibetan is the one with least points, but I&#8217;m open to your arguments if you see it as the best option.</p>

<p class="dtm-content">I chose to be a member of Soka Gakkai, Because it&#8217;s roots are based on the Lotus Sutra, the only Sutra that promotes equality of all human beings which of course includes women. Unlike other Sutrats that say you have to be reborn as a man before you can attain enlightenment. I also like Soka Gakkai efforts to promote Peace, Culture, and education ,even though some buddhist who follow different Buddhists schools slander us. Just look at what they are doing for world peace, and look at what we are doing, You decide.</p>

<h2>Why are buddhists/hindus more advanced than christians?</h2>
<p><strong>Buddhism</strong>/<strong>zen</strong> <strong>buddhism</strong>/ and hinduism seems more advanced when it comes to spiritual development especially in the area of <strong>meditation</strong>.<br />
<strong>Buddhism</strong>/hinduism is largely based around meditating and training the mind to be quiet/spiritual.<br />
while christians just read the bible and preach.<br />
Is christianity the poor mans religion?<br />
because if you think about it most ghettos have a christian church on every block.<br />
and it seems to be the most easily understood religion. And all you have to do is go to church on sunday and belive in jesus.<br />
Also i dont see any <strong>technique</strong> that is used in christianity to strenthen the mind and remove ego/mental chatter.<br />
I have known many christians and all they do is preach and read the bible.<br />
They do not know how to meditate correctly, and they function from an ego mind.<br />
Most people in there ordinary daliy existance function from what is called the ego mind.<br />
The ego mind is not spiritual.<br />
The ego mind is your normal everyday mind: living in your head/day dreaming/mental chatter/thinking about the past/future etc..<br />
People that live from the ego mind have no connection to spirit or themselves.<br />
To be a truly spiritual person you have to have a seperation from your normal thinking/ego mind.<br />
The most important part of spirituality is having a spiritual mind.<br />
A spiritual mind is not something you get from reading the bible or going to church or believing in god.<br />
A spiritual mind comes from meditating.<br />
All <strong>meditation</strong> is basickly training your mind to be in the momment.<br />
the word <strong>meditation</strong> is used alot but very few people do real <strong>meditation</strong>.<br />
Real <strong>meditation</strong> puts people in a &#8220;zone&#8221; or &#8220;<strong>zen</strong>&#8220;, a special form of conciousness that is highly awake/aware, self connected, and creative.<br />
Have you ever heard of the power of now by echart tolley?<br />
Most christians dont have the power of now.<br />
In fact very few humans are &#8220;in the now&#8221;.<br />
Most people function from the ego mind and they do not know how to shut it off.<br />
in christianity there is no higher level of conciousness except that which christians believe they have.<br />
Alot of christians are normal people that think like normal people except they read the bible.<br />
there is no mental disapline <strong>technique</strong> that is widely practiced in christianity except going to church on sunday.<br />
Based on this it makes christanity appear to be for people that do not have an interest in higher levels of conciousness.<br />
But rather its geared toward people that want to feel/think like they are spiritual but never really be spiritual.</p>

<div class="answer">
<h3>meditation chair | meditation bench | meditation stool | meditation pillow | meditation cushion answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">Your &#8220;question&#8221; is actually an accusation based on a false premise which is:</p>
<p>&#8220;A spiritual mind comes from meditating.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meditation can teach one to carefully think about a situation so as to properly respond instead of react.  However, this is not truly spiritual.  </p>
<p>What you fail to take into consideration is the basis of Christianity as contrasted to these other religions where the &#8220;goal&#8221; is self-improvement through whatever means, such as meditation.</p>
<p>In Christianity, it is admitted and understood that the individual cannot truly make himself &#8220;spiritual&#8221; and that Christianity is a surrender to God who can make a person spiritual.  It is written that it is God who places a heart of &#8220;flesh&#8221; in a person that replaces the &#8220;stony&#8221; heart we are all born with.  Meditation is an attempt to change one&#8217;s own heart; an impossibility.  You need God&#8217;s &#8220;nature&#8221; imparted to you to accomplish this, and this &#8220;heart of flesh&#8221; is in actuality God&#8217;s Holy Spirit.</p>
<p>It is not what we, based on our own efforts do or accomplish, it is what God accomplishes in us.  The more one yields to God and the Holy Spirit, the more one grows spiritually. </p>
<p>The spirituality you refer to is nothing more than a counterfeit.  It is what is deep down within you that matters, and not any superficial behaviour.</p>

<h2>Where to find Buddhist supplies in NYC?</h2>

<p class="dtm-content">Good evening, Zebra.</p>
<p>While I&#8217;ve never been at their store personally, I&#8217;ve made some purchases through their website ( http://www.sharchen.com/ ) and over the phone. The owners have been most helpful in recommending various ritual items to me and I trust their judgment. They tell me their on-line catalog  has significantly fewer items than their store. It may be worth the time for you to visit them (their location&#8217;s address is on their website). Hope this helps.</p>
<p>May all be at peace.</p>

<h2>What supplies would you need to live comfortably in a cave?</h2>
<p>I am beginning to plan my sabbatical from society. I plan to spend sometime living by myself, away from a contentious, violent society to get closer to The God and for contemplation and <strong>meditation</strong>. So what <strong>supplies</strong> would you take to make it possible to live in a cave? I know food, like M.R.E&#8217;s, and I plan on a cot. But I was also thinking of a satellite phone so I could call my mom in the states. Are satellite phones expensive? Any advice on what else to take? Is there websites I should check out to get the stuff I need? Any links? THNX!!!!</p>

<p class="dtm-content">There are caves and caves. There are wet (living) ones and dry (dead) ones. One potentially nice thing is that, except at the entranceway, caves maintain the area&#8217;s average temperature at all times. In my area, this is on the order of 50°F but a bit south, you have natural central air-conditioning and heating. On the flip side, caves are a fairly barren ecosystem, so, unless you are planning to fill the cave with MREs, you are going to have to emerge to buy food, fuel, batteries, etc. Unless you have extensive camping experience and have experienced isolation from diel cycles, you should think long and hard about what you are planning.</p>

<h2>I recently had an aura reading, and was told that there is a negative force following me from a previous life.?</h2>
<p>I am wondering if this person who said this is a fake?  She&#8217;s been pretty accurate about other things in my life, but I am a bit of a skeptic (especially after researching and finding &#8220;scam&#8221; psychics that talk about negative forces and charge a large amount for <strong>supplies</strong> to get rid of it).  </p>
<p>I admit that since seeing her, things have felt slightly less hectic &#8211; but she also encourages <strong>meditation</strong> / prayer, so maybe that is helping.</p>

<h2>Cheap Buddhist supply store?</h2>
<p>Okay, so I am looking for an online Buddhist store that sells cheap <strong>meditation</strong> <strong>supplies</strong> (bowls, incense, gongs, statues) that are of good quality. Cheap ensures that it isn&#8217;t in the 100&#8242;s. Thank you!<br />
Actually Buddha did exist, he was a man. And he was offered food, he didn&#8217;t beg.</p>

<h2>Does a meditation group with a DBA have to declare membership dues?</h2>
<p>I have a small group that performs meditations.  We rent a space and charge dues to our members to help cover the cost of the rental and <strong>supplies</strong>.  I would like to form a DBA for the group just to have a separate checking account to keep this money separate and write and receive checks.  Is there a tax liability here for receive dues if I do file a DBA?  I just can&#8217;t seem to find the specific info I need online.</p>
