less than 5% of the cosmos is composed of the same elements that compose human life.

If the nucleus of a Hydrogen atom was the size of a basketball, the electron shell would be 15 miles away and the rest is vacuum. That's how much of everything is empty space.
If our sun was the size of this dot >.< the milky way would be the size of North America and our nearest star, Proxima Centauri, would be more than a mile away. That's how much open space there is in space...

enticing information, this just in.
physical surfaces never touch each other.
even standing on the floor, you are really supported by a very thin layer of electromagnetic force; no atoms of your foot actually touch atoms of the floor!
everything is suspended.
so next time you kiss someone, just remember that at no time did your lips actually meet! it was just an illusion.
maya is everywhere.

Quote:

Quote:
If you know a little more about particle physics, you might have realized that it is possible to force an electron to make contact with the protons in a nucleus. This is accomplished artificially by colliding them at relativistic speeds in a cyclotron; the force of the collision is able to overcome the nuclear force. One of the things that can happen when the electron hits a proton is that they can combine to create a neutron. This process also occurs in a neutron star, where the intense gravitational pressure collapses all the atoms of the star, so that all the electrons combine with all the nuclear protons, forming a solid soup of neutrons. You might expect that in this case, we could say that there really is contact made between different atoms. However, our current state of understanding leads physicists to believe that electrons and protons themselves are made from combinations of even smaller elementary particles called quarks, which are held apart by their own forces. So even on the sub-nuclear scale, there is no 'touching'. What is inside a quark is the subject of current research in the field ... a subject for a possible future page here on our site!

93 A fun fact: Beginning at the age of 9, kevin(Lavod) established a mythology based upon a blanket he possessed called "snuggles the seal". Snuggles was a massive seal from Neptune with the ability of flight. It was propelled by a continuous stream of farts and it's blubber was impenetrable even by nuclear weapons. This went beyond creative imagination as kevin founded a club in school which at it's peak had about 20 members, including a bodyguard to protect against the "non-believers". There was even official currency exchanged between members and lotsa other stuff he has forgotten. Official snuggles club meetings consisted of going around the schoolyard at recess and consuming certain sacred plants which gave snuggles special powers. Of course, interest in the snuggles entity dwindled with the others, and only 2 members continued to talk about snuggles by the middle school days. Long live Snuggles the seal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 93 93/93

There is a river flowing very fast It is so swift that there are those who will be afraid They will try to hold on to the shore They will feel that they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly Know that the river has a destination The Elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river.
And I say, see who is in there with you and Celebrate! At this time in history we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves For the moment we do our spiritual growth comes to a halt The time of the Lone Wolf is over Gather your Self's together Banish the word Struggle from your attitude and vocabulary All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in Celebration!

when a clear outline is defined, potential input is narrowed down to fit the specified conversational structure.
given nothing to start with, a discussion can move in any direction and is only limited by the quality of ART that is contributed by each participant.

"Because of the gift of self-reflective consciousness, the human being alone, of all forms of life, has the capacity to recognize his or her own true identity as being not separate from the whole event of creation. Not separate from the Ground of Being, the void out of which the universe emerged, and simultaneously not separate from the first cause, from the Big Bang itself.
When the individual has an experience of what is known as cosmic consciousness, that's when this human vehicle becomes a vessel through which the Universe is able to know all of itself. The human vehicle becomes capable of knowing the body of the whole Universe as its own self, as its own limitless body.
So the awakening of the spiritual impulse in the human heart and mind is the Universe becoming conscious of itself through its own emerging creative process. That's quite profound. Especially considering that it's taken fifteen billion years for evolution to bring life to the point where this was possible."

What are words?
Go deeply into this.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

"The light of consciousness has no mind to change or alter anything. When you start to see the light that you really are, the light waking up in you, the radiance, you realize it has no intention to change you. It has no intention to harmonize. It has no agenda. It just happens. The Truth is the only thing you'll ever run into that has no agenda. Everything else will have an agenda."

Vibrations are, in my point of view, ANYTHING.
Today I was sitting on a chair, and not far from me, my friend said something. I could feel the vibration of his words in the chair.
Playing sitar heals myself. The vibrations caused by all the strings are just so damn good. And the melodies are so sweet.
Man, I love playing my sitar.

93 Cool mist in the August air Motionless he lays Naked to the Moon's silver stare
Blood slowly seeps from an exhausted heart The amphora dissolved Puddle of vermilion and the serpent tart
Soothing voice, a promise from the distance Mother or wife? Ignore! Fulminant love, only this instance!

Our life is usually thought of as a linear progression, like a line that goes from A to B.
From a higher dimensional standpoint, our life is actually much more like a single point. So when someone asks "what's the point?" you may answer "you are!"

Very rare people are capable of being blissful for no reason at all - just sitting silently and blissfully!
Others will think them mad because the idea of happiness is that it has to come from somebody else. You meet a beautiful woman and you are happy, or you meet a beautiful man and you are happy.
But sitting silently in your room and being so blissful, so blissed out?
You must be crazy or something! People will suspect that you are on a drug, stoned.
Meditation is the ultimate LSD.
