Marko's is a really really old man now. He can't have much longer is my guess :sad:  Maybe we should write out his obituary to get a jump on things.  We could embellish a tad here and there just to make it sound like his life was somewhat interesting. :satansmoking:

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

Cute, but I didn't mean to confuse the skin lesion (which turned out to be an Inflammatory Papilloma, and not another skin cancer). I received a shot of corticosteroid in it and a topical medication. The other thing is for a non-invasive ultrasound scan of my liver, which I DO find disturbing, but not as disturbing as a spot that would have to be biopsied. I do like the epitaph, sort of, especially the 2.22. Not gonna have a tombstone or a bronze plaque, and I don't have any heirs to keep my ashes in my Buddhist stupa. But, quite right, I AM feeling old this week.

I'm sorry for him. I think I'd let the cancer take it's course rather than destroy my immune system - one's only chance for surviving - with chemo or radiation. Then I WOULD use whatever drugs I could get my hands on. I'd rather go out in various states of inebriation than nauseated, vomiting, shitting myself (all which could happen from the disease, but worse from the horrible poisons). I've always said I wanted to die tripping, but on my last trip, I thought I was dying and it wasn't pleasant. Of course, it would be different if I Knew I was dying and getting psychedelic for detachment and dissociation. I'm also sorry that your brother-in-law doesn't have medical recourse to pharmaceutical LSD or Psilocybin. I hope that MAPS eventually wins the day for many of us with end-of-life anxiety. :sad:

:blush: Looking over it, I now see that you had said that YOU were the one who was insisting on the biopsy tomorrow. It was my skimming that lead to a different reaction :sorry:  I had that misplaced, thought it was doctor's orders.  Puts it in an entirely different perspective, where your personal death anxiety makes more sense in perspective.

No problem CJ. I didn't need to have this skin lesion biopsied. I WAS going to ask for that if he just wanted to freeze it off with liquid nitrogen. However, it didn't appear to be a squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma, or a melanoma. Florida sun, even for the 13 years that I rarely applied sunscreen, has done enough damage. Now I'm more like a vampire in my avoidance of the sun, especially during summer. I go to beach at night to watch the full moon rise spring and summer. I haven't been in the ocean since 1996. I'm over Florida, except that I can comfortably drag the garbage bin out to the street in my under ware in January - at night of course.

Oy, yet still I've had troubles comprehending that first post.... Now I suspect I get it. I will lay off alcohol starting manana. I see now a painful lesion on arm, and blood work that may lead to an ultrasound of liver = nervous....and wanting a biopsy on arm.  Gotcha now methinks...

What I had read was that the doctor wanted biopsy due to elevated enzymes in liver = nervous about the big C in liver.

My opinion on this is that you will find frustration and retarded development as a result of trying to deny what you are.

I don't believe in sin as anything that exists outside the relative sense and that relative sense is only what affects the body. Examples:

Hunger is bad, being well fed is good.

Abstinence is bad, seed sowing is good.

Pain is bad, pleasure is good.

If you ever want to frustrate, confuse, control, and utterly screw a person up then all you need to do is convince them that all those things are opposite in the eyes of god and give them the impossible goal of trying to make it so within themselves. That will assure their failure and their reliance upon a control structure for forgiveness and inspiration to continue their vain and futile efforts and so forth.

I don't see anything that could be called beneficial to the human organism or to the spiritual development of the human coming from the denial of human nature or natural functions. I can only see how it harms the specimen's psychological and spiritual functioning by becoming involved in such an experiment.




This.  Of course indulging in natural human desires to excess is detrimental as well.  The Middle Way is best.

I am all for balance. One just need to know what it is to be balanced, and with what.


--------------------
And thus begins the  reverse-fusing of our one-dimentional understanding, and adds ever-expanding perspectives, in depth and number; splitting our perception, and in so doing, seemingly irrationally, creates yet more one-ness, with all that ever was, is and will ever be, streching across the infinite, inunderstood concept of everything, percievable and not.

I practiced some bramacharia effectively for 7 months. But I want to be cultural. Give me erotic movies and explicit music. I will not ditch The Cramps for bramacharia, so I had to ditch bramacharia. I loved the experience though, as there were all these actual, sometimes effective teks, unlike christianity, where all you get is "don't do or think anything natural because its bad".
