Pankaja_Dasa 1 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 Not that I want to carry on this debate {yeah right} but check this out: A---B---C Point A is in Ki Dimention. Point B is in Ko Dimention. Point C is in Si Dimention. Wouldn't it take different time frames to reach each destination? Ki/Ko/Si are made up terms for this experiment.

theist 1 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 Don't think too much Pankaja. Just like molecules are always changing in the body so too are thoughts always coming and going in the mind. Sometimes its nice to just observe them come and go without reacting to them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pankaja_Dasa 1 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 I like to agitate my mind sometimes to think to much. Be still Oh Mind in Krishna Feet. Man I am getting ready to do 64 rounds. On Sun. I am bricking it. Hehe what would happen to this forum if I left? Hey it wouldn't be better! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theist 1 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 My mind works in a similar fashion. I have ADD, attention deficit disorder. Calamus root helps alot. Like when i am trying to hear my japa i am usually listening to my mind as it echos past mundane experiences and dreams of new ones yet to arrive. Some while ago Kulapavana post this nice example which I have come to treasure. Very simple but very profound. The question was how to concentrate on hearing the name. He said to listen to the name as if you had dropped a pebble into a well and were trying to hear it hit the water. Sooo nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theist 1 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 Just passing along what I got from another poster here, Kulapavana. I meant to ask him where he got it. i remember at the time thinking it had a distinctive Buddhist ring to it for some reason but who knows. It's been a gem to me and I think you will find it so as well. Hare Krsna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kulapavana 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 I have heard it from an aspiring bhakta 25 years ago. (pretty much everything else he said was nonsense /images/graemlins/wink.gif ) and no, he did not make it as a devotee... at least not yet, as far as I know...

theist 1 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 East coast will get the best view of the lunar eclipse tonight. The west may get something around sunset. The Earth's shadow is responsible for the darkening of the moon as it blocks the sunlight that usually reflects off the moon accounting for its glow. The moon is not self-effulgent.

mpuri 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2004 For when to view the eclipse and where: http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/watchtheskies/13oct_lunareclipse.html Warning: While you're staring at the sky, you might hear footsteps among the trees, the twang of a bow, a desperate scurry to shelter. That's just your imagination. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
