Rat Breath Again!
Friday 10:22 a.m.
Empedocles proved the existence of air to his chummies in Ancient Greece by upturning a bucket in the sea, and squeezing down. There's something there, he might have said. You can feel it inside the bucket. We'll call it air.
How many radio stations are in the air around you?
For a wee while last night, I became amazed at the air. Whilst doing ra bliss and heat around dusk. Here, these days that's about ten o clock. How can ra bliss be associated with breathing i.e. when doing this vase breathing? There are odd connections going on here between the air and your body. You shoot the breath and go to California. How could that possibly be and what could it mean?
Is the air full of ra bliss? Are we surrounded and totally immersed in ra bliss, but just don't have access to it, well, not if we're a flatheid and too dumb to meditate anyway. It looks as if the air is full of ra bliss, but it looks as if the sun goes round the earth.
I chanced upon this yesterday in the Glenn Mullin translation of Tsongkhapas Six Yogas of Naropa. ."... the breath becomes increasinly subtle, and eventually stops altogether. Concerning the experience Jetsun Milarepa stated,
.... Ecstasy is experienced.
And also
When the breath no longer comes and goes, ecstasy;
When one completely cuts off the flow, ecstasy.
That'll be ten percent off the top, please. I'm away to Bellshill. I'm going to give a copy of my new book to Skinny McDuck and my brother Silvest.

That air-breath is a recent gift, developed by terrestrial tetrapods. We all evolved from creatures who scavenged their oxygen for aerobic respiration from the O2 dissolved in water. Coming onto land was a major technological change in which we learned to drink, locomote and eat while also respiring. We got so good at it that for most of the time vital respiration is automatic, autonomic and unconscious. How lucky we are!
Ion: If there is ra bliss in the breath, and there certainly is (10 points out of ten for moi!), is there a movement towards ra bliss or not? Are we, or are we not, moving towards ra bliss? We could be moving towards the suffering, but I cannot see how this can be true. Hotboy
A good weekend to all blissheids and flatheids alike.
PS I haven't heard your opinion on this photo in osbasso's contest.
Albert? How come you've joined an escort agency? Is it for blind people or those who only meet in the dark? Tell no 2 I'll get back to her when I've had my head transplant!Hotboy
Ion: Is there not something odd about breathing in that it's part of the autonomic system (like hearbeats), but you can control it as well? I can't make any sense of the connections, but it does work with ra bliss and heat. How odd can it be? Hotboy
I say!
"...the breath becomes increasinly subtle, and eventually stops altogether."
That'll be when one passes away, then.

Mingin'! I think we're doing a yes! Hotboy
You can only exercise a certain amount of control over breathing. Otherwise it would be the most popular suicide method, and the cheapest.
Albert? Unfortunately, you are a flatheid. I'm going to go breathless, but you are not, I'm afraid! Hotboy
It's your funeral, but I think you may need a noose or your old school tie.
