... and what is an 'edited'?, JimBob wonders while Fawzo transforms into a Giant Green Thing, but just then ...

... having flashbacks to a prior life where he was a female named Alice but ...

Well. To that comment I would just have to say that there really isn't a reason why. It's just the way things happen. They did it because they could. Or maybe they did it in order to adapt to changing environments. Stuff happens! Peace & Love!

... Fawzo make a frantic leap toward the Golden Pencil box but just as he was about to grab it ...

This is a thought of the Taoist as well. The body is the physical essence that carries around our inner (spiritual) essence for a while. Our spirit need not be sick just because the body is experiencing the changes of time. Peace & Love!

... of bending over and giving the kids a perfect target he decides to sit down facing the kids and offers them some Trix but just as the kids were approaching up runs one of the mothers and screams at the kids to get away from that dirty old man and ...

... the nearest rabbit hole so that he can ...

... it is part of the preparation ritual. So now Fawzo is once again alone and on his own in his search for whatever it is he is searching for and he falls into a deep depression but suddenly ...

Yep. Attachment is a double-edged sword. And I agree with Fawzo's assessment. To be knowledable of the Way but not live according to the Way is nothing more than a waste of one's time and a portion of one's life. Peace & Love!

Not asking for much, are you? Hehehe. I think that it is not really a desire to be human that is the problem, I think it is more at defining what human is is the problem. Being human, to me, means that we are humane. Human is the thinking man. Neanderthal stopped evolving and died out. Homo sapiens dominate at the moment. If we stop evolving we will probably die out too. I think it is more at we have forgotten how to be humane that is the base problem. Am I talking with you now or are we both still speaking on different concepts? Peace & Love!

Yeah. I would call that love. Peace & Love!

Oh. Haven't we hidden the fact that we are just another species of animal on this planet and really not anything special? Haven't we forgotten that we are a social animal and we are supposed to be working for the welfare of the group? Haven't we forgotten that having personal possessions is not the goal in life but rather to live life to its fullest is the primary goal? Haven't we forgotten that we are supposed to feel all our emotions, experience them fully in the moment. then let them pass? Not holding on to yesterday nor striving for something in the future but rather just doing the best we can in the moment? Working when there is something that needs be done and resting when the work is done? So many things, Fawzo. So far we have drifted from the ways of enjoying the true beauty of living. We set so many artificial goals for our life that have little or no meaning and we work so hard trying to accomplish those goals that we forget to live according to our true nature. Personal desires of wealth and fame. And we end up never having been truely loved nor truely love anyone save ourself. Peace & Love!

Yep. I think that to say that we are uncovering what we have hidden would fit well here too. Peace & Love!

But aren't we already at one with it all? Isn't it simply a matter of removing the separtation (which really does not exist save for in our mind)? Peace & Love!

That was fun, Fawzo. We shall joust again one day. Thanks for playing. Peace & Love!

I would say that Chuang Tzu is my favorite. He speaks from the Manifest and the Mystery at the same time. He loved the observable reality but always envisioned a more complete existance in spirituality. Peace & Love!

Ha! But it was you who judged my judgement thereby holding to something that was uttered by my lips. We all do judge, you know. And if the gift you have offered is not accepted then who's is the gift to hold? No on's. It has fallen on infertile soil; never to germinate and bloom. Kinda' like pissing in the wind. Hehehe. 'Tis true that a combat needs be conducted between two combatants, but, if one does not choose to engage in combat that one may still die from a blow from the sword. Peace & Love!

Oh Yeah? You calling me unenlightened? Hehehe. How about if I change it from stupidity to unnecessarily reckless? No, on second thought I will stick with stupidity. Hehehe. Peace & Love!

... then he remembered he was homeless and broke down in a fit of weeping dispair but just then ...

... and Roger Miller appeared dressed in only a tutu and this caused ...

Yes. I agree. "What stupidity." Awareness! Even while in a meditative state. Peace & Love!
