The Philosophy of Lounge * 1
    #7831848 - 01/04/08 12:57 PM (16 years, 28 days ago)



Back to basics, to the roots of relaxation, observation, and contemplation. It's a relationship to earth.

Animals practice it, plants have mastered it, how about human?

Sometimes human forgets to lounge. Mind tends to get lost in language and miss the moment.

Is this a natural state? We don't know. We can say everything is natural, but not if we are of natural origin. All we have is models with regular software updates. Truths that are discovered only leave more doors unopened.

What it means to lounge is to fall back into your center, chill out, and remember the ground under your feet. It's no theory but all practice. This includes the applications of appreciation, breathing, and restoring life, among many others.

Be reminded however, that it is not a constant state to be in. Too much lounge can become an obstacle. Lions don't bum out under the sun all day, they know when to go out and be busy. A balance is essential.

Take a step back from every situation, jump in when you feel ready, and hop out as needed.

That's the mantra, a key. The rest of the story is yours.

:tongue:

Actually, male lions spend about 18 hours a day sleeping.  It's the women who know when work needs to be done.  Go figure. :tongue:

Good thread. :thumbup:

“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 best way to live
is to be like water
For water benefits all things
and goes against none of them
It provides for all people
and even cleanses those places
a man is loath to go
In this way it is just like Tao        ~Daodejing

For some reason I've recalled this very brief thread from 9 years ago at more than one time in my life. The philosophy of lounge must've sunk into my mind from your one succinct post.

Funny how the mind works. :yinyang:
