ass yoga..interesting..is it fun?..merle
Edgar, Does it need pointing out to you that I said in an earlier post that having one unique attribute DOES NOT MAKE US SUPERIOR TO OTHER ANIMALS. Pointing out that attribute is *not* trashing" other animals. It's like saying I'm trashing bats because they don't have the same vision as us (yes, a bat's 'vision' is more acute than ours, yawn). And when you understand the first thing about Zen you can lecture me. In the meantime I'd just practice your ass-yoga. Mike Sent from Yahoo!

Sent: Tue, Jun 25, 2013 11:22:13 AM Mike and Joe (and Merle fyi), It is typically the most insecure of men that trash animals in a vain attempt to prove their superiority over them. Feeling incomplete and insecure in themselves they seek illusory completeness by trashing other beings so they can feel superior by comparison. This is NOT Zen. If you realize Zen mind you ARE complete in yourself and have no need of trashing any other being human or animal!
