"Life is like a shit sandwich... the more bread you have, the less shit you have to eat".
Sayings like that, serve as the universal bidet of life.
And how is this sort of effervescent wisdom obtained? Why, by the ancient method of Excremental Meditation, of course. (2)
"Opinions are like assholes; everyone has one, and most of them stink".
Observing such hard-won wisdom, we begin to long for the bidet. Can it be that there is that rare individual whose asshole does NOT stink? (3)
Statistically speaking, it is inevitable that such must be the case. And the introduction of the bidet, and its habitual and regular use, is one way to reach the worthy goal of anal cleanliness. (4)
As we flail our way through life, again and again stepping in shit in spite of our best efforts of avoidance, we must ask this basic question:
Is it really all about shit, or is it about how life would be without shit, the stink, the flies and the mess? (5)
Seeing though that shit is ubiquitous, and that every living thing produces shit as an inevitable by-product of being alive, it eventually dawns that there must be a way of coping with shit; a way of Being... (6)
A way of living, which takes shit into account, but does not require the ingestion of it, bathing in it, or getting shit-on every day, yea, even unto several times per day. (7)
"You will shit, if you eat enough."
So is the *remedy* for shit, to stop eating? If so, it is also the remedy for everything else which ails us. But this seems rather drastic, does it not? (8)
For one, shit is not so bad. It is not as bad as say... nuclear radioactive contamination. It is not as bad as the coalition of Sanghis, whose toxicity and stench has reached new and formerly unreachable proportions. (9)
Amazingly, it is common enough to observe the common, unschooled human Being, to walk around absolutely smeared with shit; for as JR "BOB" Dobbs has said:
"Act like a dumbshit, and they will treat you like an equal". (10)
Indeed. A protective layer of shit, covering the entire body but especially the head, seems to be the universal key of entry to the 'human condition', that special social approval which *proves* that one does NOT consider themselves 'above or superior to others'. (11)
Yes, smeared with shit, one may blithely circulate among human society, without fear of being tarred and feathered for the imagined sin of being 'different'. (12)
But I speak not of generic shit; one must take care to apply only SPECIAL shit, such as Catholic shit, Hindu shit, or New Age shit. (13)
Upon entry to the portals of one or another sacred temple, one must bow down and receive a good, thorough smearing of that special, specific shit which does not smell or appear different than the shit worn by confirmed members of the given congregation. (14)
To neglect this vital step of fecal surrender is to risk the worst social opprobrium:
"This man who has entered our church smells like shit! Off with his head!"
"Yes, Reverend Bowel! He must be converted, or he is in deep shit!" (15)
And thus it is, with every 'movement'. One either takes 'communion' with the masses, or one becomes subject to *excre-munication*, the sort of painful 'elimination' to which heretics and witches have been subject to over the painful ages of historical shit... (16)

Coping With Shit: The Art And Science of Excremental Meditation Part I Revealed (thread)
1. And some old wise ass quickly shat back:
"The more shit you eat, the less need you have for bread."
2. So, just like most other shit, you can look at shit one way or another, depending on your point of view. The best vantage to have, of course, is the view in which there is no point from which to view.
3. In other words, you have to be willing to drop all your shit.
Not necessarily on somebody else, however. Although that does happen occasionally. And in some cases, it even happens more often than not.
4. And why is that? It's because the vast majority of opinions are complete bullshit. And if you think that your shit doesn't stink, that's just another one of those opinions.
I'll be back in a few minutes to talk about that most ancient of all spiritual traditions, The Way of Excrement.
Otherwise known as the Shit Filled Path.
Be right back................
Ahhhhhh, where were we?
"You will shit, if you eat enough."
I'm tellin' ya, this shit WORKS!
Every fucking time!
Try it.
Test it out in your own experience.
Just because it's true for me, doesn't necessarily mean it's true for you. [/11]
Just sitting around speculating whether or not I will shit after I eat enough, will do NOTHING for your OWN realization of the universal law. [/12]
At the same time, will you be REALLY satisfied merely BELIEVING that "I have eaten and therefore I have shat?"
Do you merely want to be...ugh!!...a True Believer?
And NOT shit things out for YOURSELF??? [/13]
Wake up & get on that "throne."
Yeah, take your own shits, folks
I can't do it for you
And I won't
Not anymore than Gautama Buddha can instinctively recognize the emptiness of all dharmas for you, or anymore than the Tathagata himself can attain the Other Shore for you. [14/]
Not anymore than Jesus can save you.
Oh wait. I don't want to get into all that salvation shit.
Cancel. Cancel. [15/]
Not anymore than Werner Erhard can tell you, "You're an asshole" for you.

Not anymore than Eckhart Tolle can be in the NOW for you. [16/]
Not anymore than Nisargadatta Maharaj can say "I Am That" for you, or anymore than Ramana Maharshi can realize the Self for you.
Not anymore than Anamika Devi can "get it" that Nothing Ever Happened for you,
No folks you gotta do this shit on your OWN, motherfuckers. [17/]
"If your wife is unyielding for sex, strike with stick or hand and curse her!"
Wife Beating and #MaritalRape in Vedic Literature: Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 6.4.7
Original Sanskrit verse & Commentary by Adi Shankara (Shankara Bhasya) translated into English by Swami Madhavananda:
One, The Early Upanishads are considered Vedic Literature attached to Veda Samhitas. Two, Context is SEX; Procreation OR not; spelled out in 6.4.10-11. Three, The interpretation "buy her over with ornaments" is from Shankara Bhasya, & THIS version was used.
Is he @MisraNityanand dishonest or just plain ignorant? He goes till verse 8 of Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 6.4 & concludes "context is procreation only (needed for life)". Go further till 10 & 11. Husband chants "may she not conceive!" 6.4.10. Context is Sex.
"Embracing Sita with both his arms, Kakutstha (Rama) made her drink pure Maireya wine, even as Indra makes Shachi partake of nectar.
Servants quickly served flesh-meat variously dressed, & fruits of various kinds for the use of Rama" #Ramayana Verse referred by #SwamiVivekananda
#SwamiVivekananda: "Sita Devi vows meat, rice, and a thousand jars of wine to the river-goddess, Ganga!"
"Be merciful to us, O goddess, & I shall, on my return home, worship thee with a thousand jars of arrack (spirituous liquor) & rice well-dressed with flesh-meat." (#Ramayana)
#SwamiVivekananda on vegetarian Vaishnavas: "Instances are found in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata of the drinking of wine and the taking of meat by Rama and Krishna, whom they worship as God! Sita Devi vows meat, rice, and a thousand jars of wine to the river-goddess, Ganga!!"
Consider Chhinnamasta - Goddess of paradoxes - "both the food & the eater of food, thereby symbolizing the whole world by this act of being devoured & the devourer. The dichotomy of receiver & giver or object and subject collapses into one"
"The image of Chhinnamasta standing on a copulating couple of Kamadeva and Rati is interpreted by some scholars as a symbol of a person's 'control' over sexual desire, while others interpret the goddess as being 'the embodiment' of sexual energy."
Perhaps the greatest tragedy of our humanity is actually our tendency to displace our Dukkha onto others; to scapegoat others for something that we have going on and which goes away only for the briefest of moments, the fantasies of Nirvanists aside.
While exploring the Modoc National Forest near Mount Shasta in California (a fabulous time for me!) I was in the company of an attractive man. We were strolling about taking in the vibes, sights sounds and (usually unfortunately) smells... 1/
I found an incredible grove of Quaking Aspens. Entering the grove, we were in a magical wonderland of shimmering dashes of bright sunlight gated to the interior by the gently quivering leaves... 2/
A major reason behind the fall of India was the lack of strong organized religion like Judaism, Christianity or Islam. Hinduism was just a set of beliefs and customs and not really organized religions.
India was/is deeply divided on caste, region and language lines; it lacked a strong common organized religion that could have organized and united them.
Without a strong religion, there was no system of giving back to the community, helping those less fortunate. This created a vast gap between the haves and have-nots and it created a society in which a large percentage of people had no vested interest and had *nothing to defend*.
Some men can't come during sex (however long they fuck) UNLESS they masturbate. When i first heard this I found it to be pretty incredible, because I couldn't imagine wanting to, or needing to, jerk yourself off, when you have a nice, hopefully tight, pussy, to pop your load into
I think that holding off coming eventually works against the guy in that it makes it harder for them to come under normal fucking conditions. 2/
