I think that's a blessing for everyone involved. If this "rythm" were to actually be able to convey his/ her thoughts we would all be in very deep trouble.
If you see that runaway H drop me a line.

I have studied it, Billy. I took several philosophy courses in college on Eastern thought, and I've read many books by Buddhist teachers, including Zen masters. The essence of Zen is very hard for the Western mind to grasp, and stilling my "monkey mind" is an achievement which still eludes me.

U REALLY DID STUDIED? I AM SORRY 4 MY WORDS. ACTUALLY I AM STUDENT OF PHILOSPHY MYSELF AND I AM HATED (LIKE IN THIS GROUP TOO) FOR MY REVOLUTIONARY IDEAS. ACTUALLY THE ILLUSION OF DUALISM IS SO PROFOUND THAT IT IS MUCH MORE THAN ILLUSION ITSELF. THATS ALL. THE ZEN IS CHILD OF BUDDHISM AND TAOISM BOTH OF WHICH ARE NOT MEANINGFUL YET CONCEAL ALL.

So much for your midyear resolution. Did you put a buck in the jar?

If you don't do it on occasion, your intestines will explode, so it is a good idea.

And yes. Good call.

I don't claim to be an expert on Zen. However, when studying this interesting philosophy, I thought the teachings of Zen were the search for enlightement.
I was also taught to find enlightenment one must discover nothingness......
