Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

Your mean fake aliveness? Yeah, sure. By your own, on your own, you are nothing. You need a night, or a timid, volatile insane natura to support you, or what are you on this forum? You might be afraid of being banned, or being rejected and so form groups with nights, or this or that, have drinks with other equally stupid, timid minds...
Now I know your response to this. It's as always predictable. Please, enjoy your life as it is, what ever it is. I'm only ever glad I'm never a part of it other than a stranger on this forum. :-)

It was actually just a figure of speech. I am sure you are excited by the hopes that I have some silly new age superstition that you can call me out on, but I'm afraid you'll have to keep fishing ;-)

It was just my way of saying relax, open the chakras and let the ascended masters speak to your heart.

We never spoke of chakras or anything before, so you must explain it, if you can. It's easy. If I mentioned something as such and someone asked me expalin it, I would, scientifically and every other way possible.

It was just a bit of humor pearl. Just my way of saying, relax, freshen up, chill out, clear the energy. The chakra comment was also just a bit of jest.

About what? Your silly ideas of "occupation"? Ofcourse, not. But as long as you enjoy it...that is all what matters, right?
you did put the link with "Let it burn you to ashes and smoke and dust...nothingness...the flame of discontent...enjoy! ;-)" so i thought it was about nothingness and such.. oh well never mind.

Yes Natura...the spider is always spinning its web and none of us are exempt from getting stuck in it. Clinging to shadows though, we are already stuck.

This is not true to me. It is only temporarily true to stuck spiders which does not make sense either.
I am my own spider and when that is realized, the spiderman comes to an end.

Re: no title
What is this spider? Allow me to talk to myself if it does not apply to you. Is it sorrow and suffering? This suffering sorrow when it is not so caught in thought such that it destroys and paralyzes the mind, creating more and more dependence, is actually the source of passion. From personal sorrow to non personal, world sorrow is a big step of learning and discovery, not in knowledge but in actual change. Without knowing the depth of this sorrow, the great regret and waste of life for so many, there is no true sense of responsibility. It is like a jewel covered in mud and placed in front of blind eyes.
The greater sorrow I know the deeper I am aware, and in that depth of impossible awareness where the mind comes to the end of effort, a new thing is born in a new day.
If you walk through it all you will find the great liberation. And it must have a certain impact to the world around you for it has so much energy and joy.
It is no good to stop half way. It is my life.
