    I've been in and out of buddhism - I don't mean to disrespect it.It's just that I have some ambivalence.I prefer Zen where you can have instant flashes of sartori and samadhi.I don't like to practice to be a somber person.I remain nominally multi-faith on a low key level - but can't subscribe to any particular religion - even though it is said Buddhism is not a religion.I think I can go there sometimes - but it's not permanent.

    "was your decision to not have your words written during your physical lifetime a good one, in retrospect? Do divisions of thought, such as Theravada and Mahayana serve the eightfold path?"

    Did you get skinnier by sitting under that tree for so long?

    Never mind the soul; is my carnal being separate from someone else's? And thus if crack occurs with this, is redemption better at demons than at mere misfitting resistance for blowing out the pain?
