"Men of convictions are prisoners. They do not see far enough, they do not see what is blow them: whereas a man who would talk to any purpose about value and non-value must be able to see five hundred convictions beneath him - and behind him... A mind that aspires to great things, and that wills the means thereto, is necessarily sceptical. Freedom from any sort of conviction belongs to strength, and to an independent point of view.."

Leo Moon » zodicat to the Bill Burroughs quote.

I could find many more excellent lines he wrote.

His is an all time classic speaking voice.
That droning , nasal Midwest accent.

Love hearing him speak and read his works.

fishscales » goldenlion32 There is a great Tai Chi quote I´ve read that I can´t find or the life of me now...

Something about when we accept and are not afraid of the possibility of loss, we stand a much greater chance of winning.

It was obviously put much more eloquently though. Wish I could find it.

“To reach an understanding of Aikido as love, you have to be shinken [completely focused; as if wielding a real sword]. You need to commit yourself, body and soul. Without a wholehearted focus, you won;t be able to effectively love yourself or someone else. You can´t half-heartedly achieve a true love. It has to be shinken. It must be real.”
― Linda Holiday, Journey to the Heart of Aikido: The Teachings of Motomichi Anno Sensei

If I had to die right now, I would want to go home and spend my last few days with my child and celebrate life the best of my ability. Dance, listen to some music, paint, write, and sit on the beach and watch the sunset and sunrise.

fishscales Human beings are afraid of dying. They are always running after something: money, honor, and pleasure. But if you had to die now, what would you want?

Taisen Deshimaru

fishscales In a fight between a strong technique and a strong body, technique will prevail. In a fight between a strong mind and a strong technique, mind will prevail, because it will find the weak point.

Awesome one.

I spent some time in an Aikido class. Great experience, but I had to move.

Sensei taught a breathing exercise that I still use to this day.

He looked like Yoda too.

“If you try to learn with your intellect, it is more difficult to absorb the teachings on a deep level. The mind looks at something and says, I don´t want that; I want this instead. But as you simply continue to train, something changes. What changes is deeper than your intellectual knowledge, deeper than mind or heart.”
― Linda Holiday, Journey to the Heart of Aikido: The Teachings of Motomichi Anno Sensei

Leo Moon » goldenlion32 Really like those 3 pieces of wisdom You posted.

In my view the world would improve greatly with a dose of Zen and Taoism.

To move away from the concrete , black and white dualism and explore non-theistic philosophies of living, perceiving and being.

Plus somebody had to re-evolve this thread!


( meaning You .....)

Leo Moon » fishscales Ha ha great one from Carlin.

I need to get back into his work.
