Answer The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago The second best time is today.... Carlos Castenada addresses this question as well within the "Way of the Warrior" "Each act should be performed as though it is ones last act .... ones last battle.... in this way each act is given the power and respect it merits" Don Juan These though are almost in complete opposition to the nature of society and the establishment. and its delayed gratification...... Much work and many years are required to become a doctor for instance or rocket scientist..... These constitute the extremes then and somewhere in the middle is the balance or comprimise..... yet it is well to review such insights on a constant basis and this then gives ones life a framework and still allows for some dreams as well..... It does though "cut through the crap" sir 31 May 2004 @ 10:00 by spiritseek : the break through I see this as a break through into giving and receiving love. Being truely compassionate will change us and create heaven on earth, without it we just go round and round. 31 May 2004 @ 14:16 by b : Contemplating Death A good discription is given in "Advice on Dying and Living a better Life" by the Dalai Lama. Knowing you are going to die sharpens the intellect and allows the spirit(the being itself) to go free. The mind looks for solutions to cancel the impending death. The being must shed all earthly ties when the body is dropped. The comparison in life is letting go - just let it go. 1 Jun 2004 @ 15:54 by Klaus Gormsen @195.82.215.152 : death is the guru Yes the QUESTION is fantastic, - what would you do if yoy knew you would die tomorrow. But it is not so fantastic to be told what "the answer is". That´s really authoritarian, and I am not sure I would give an answer anywhere near that. Had I been asked friday or saturday this week, my answer would have been for instance: Be nonstop 24 hours at the copenhagen carnival, dance, sing kiss and love everybody, die with my boots on in the crowd dancing in ecstasy to the wild samba drums. I cant say that today - because the carnival is over. :-( 1 Jun 2004 @ 16:10 by ming : Answer You're completely right. The thing to do is of course to connect with one's own answer. Who's to say that the answer is to go around apologizing to everybody. And the authentic answer of course depends on what's right at this moment, not what's on some list of things one is supposed to do. 30 Apr 2016 @ 01:11 by Lola @188.143.232.32 : MNklrWyfnUuIjcsX disse:JURO que quando comecei a ler o post pensei que fosse uma coisa de verdade HUAHAUHAUAHUAH Parece ser mesmo legal, mesmo eu sendo meio lerda e não tendo entendido o enredo direitinho.
