 Is this a pun I'm too dumb to 'get'?No, he's an actual doctor who's written several books about back problems. | |

TheResistor said: ZAZEN...
In the practice of Zen there is an excercise called zazen, one sits facing a blank wall. No matter what the emotion one feels, no matter how strong or violent, one remains motionless. Facing the wall. The discipline of course, is in continuing to sit. It has been the only thing different thing I've done these past months during a very turbulent relationship. Zazen and Zen Buddhism deals principally with self-responsibility and reality. What I discoved through the mediatation process was that the reality of my pseudo relationship was that it was indeed, unhealthy and based on attachments. I had created an image of what I wanted my partner to be, of what I wanted him to say and think and all this malarkey that only caused pain. It was as if I said: "I want you to be all these things my fantasy dictates and if not I will hurt myself. Hurt myself with negativity." Zazen taught me that. Now I don't know if that is indeed helpful. But let me tell you four months ago I felt that if he and I ever broke up I would die. It was that serious. But sitting and meditating has revealed both horrific and sublime things that has made life worth living again. It's been only two weeks since I moved out but the excitement, the freedom I feel is something so crystal clear, a satori indeed. Hang in there! Talk to friends, distract yourself, if you ignore the big picture of the fantasy and focus on the immediate details things don't seem so bad. One day at a time and all that... "It's rock paper scissors whether or not I will get over you...it's hand against hand and both hands are mine it's walking in a circular line..." ani difranco... send me and orgnote if you'd like Taisen Deshimaru Roshi ???? " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

Ace said: blackbob said: that profile picture was taken six years ago!...i am now totally bald with a bad back and i cant get it up anymore....oh well, where's my pipe and slippers.....guess my fishing days are over  So shave your head, get to a specialist about your back and take some Viagra! We are living in a great day and age! 
P.S. Howard Stern claims that most back problems are psychosomatic and he recommends books by a certain doctor. Hang-on, I'll try and look it up... thanks for the tips but i was only joking, i am still a handsome bastard(in the right light) but that dont take the pain away. | |

blackbob said: thanks you all my org pals for your wise words, ace ,you are right ,i have to face up to it and move on ,if she really wanted me, she would do anything, thanks again
 Ace put things concisely, and "time" was also mentioned. I have nothing to add but this; Check your orgnotes. 
And this; You seem to be a great guy, despite being Scottish  Try to not let it drag you down and you'll see that life will move on for you. Don't get stuck in a rut.

Sounds like you both need to be alone. Some down time to be by yourself. I put myself in self imposed sollitude and it sucks but I feel like I know more about me and what to accept in a partner after I do it. | |

I don't know much about the situation - apart from what you've posted before - but being in love doesn't destroy you; it's being in love with the wrong person that can destroy you. There's a difference.
You seem like a nice, condsiderate guy. I'm sure any decent woman will notice that - you just need to find her. In the meantime, just stay postive and keep your head high. blackbob said: i guess i will have to go back to mindless one night stands with lots of young females....oh well.....
Or there's always that, of course.  | |
