Announcement
Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

But people who feel alergic to sorrow, which is most of us, are scared of it, and so run away from it. Thus, sorrow continues, and so an interesting phenomenon is happening: the same people who are alergic to sorrow consider it to be a natural thing, and so they live in sorrow all of their lives.
Energy is the non verbal thing, it is the thing. But it can express in many creative ways. It can just put you up for action without exhaustion, it can destroy all fear, hesitation, doubt. It renews. But still the unlimited space of the mind is something the old mind can never perceive. All in all, it comes down to conducts too. Nothing left as residue, no sense of division, no hatred.

Yes, tree, sometimes I ask for your permission to express what I feel. Other times, I talk of what you can agree on. ;-)

Because you're not involved with your whole being in this, with total passion, that's why.

I don't have any intelligence whatsoever. An illusion cannot be intelligent, ever.

That's a self-appointed job: I was talking to a fellow human being, not to a counselor.
The fact that you're tired indicates a lack of energy, which is passion.
