Mel, The key point is: if you have no goals and see no progress, can you keep the practice on? We need something in mind to direct our efforts, not just follow animal instinct. Anthony --- On Fri, 13/5/11, Mel <[email protected]> wrote:

Yes, everyone wants to be just like the old fella during those yesteryears, but it would be foolish to dwell upon it. That brilliant 'halo' that may surround your head may come, or not.

You sit and breath, because you sit and breath --------------------------------------------------------------- You are better off at an orgyhouse. -------------------------------------- MEL: How do I put this without hurting your feelings?....well, at your claimed and surprising age of 70 you keep blowing the trumpet on this 'orgyhouse' business not in a highschool locker-room, but in a Zen forum where we are now. Do you actually do anything about it? Have you been getting any at all? You might want to post it for us in YouTube so we can all watch and learn ------------------------------------------- That is a place you have no progress or goals. ----------------------------------------------- MEL: Wrong...no orgasm, no progress...no goal.. in Buddha's grace Mel
