Oh, my self-centered duh - I thought it was a typo. No, keep massaging RL, and I'll bring her a snifter of brandy to also help with the pain.

I'll see your brandy and raise you a cheesecake...

You are too cute

I'm going to call you the 'Pagali atma'

Selena: I'll see your brandy and raise you a cheesecake...

Oooh, cheesecake. Would it be as nice as the cheesecake in your av?

You are too cute

Oh, decisions, decisions: Do I want to remain in ignorance and let the term retain an aura of exotic mystery? Or, knowing what a sweetheart Grace is, would it most likely be more gratifying to know all? I think the latter . . .





(Prob'ly means 'dorky yank.')

'Crazy Soul' (but crazy in the 'informal' / 'cute but crazy' way )

 

[Equinoxe]

When people were speaking of the happiness of Callisthenes, and saying what splendid treatment he received from Alexander, Diogenes replied, "The man then is wretched, for he is forced to breakfast and dine whenever Alexander chooses."

'Crazy Soul'

I actually guessed the 'soul' part correctly.

if you brush with Buddhism, Hinduism/ Hindi and maybe even Jainism then 'atma' is a familiar concept

~~ go to bed Grace...no! don't take out your sketchpad! put it back! now!

Precisely! Atman or atta (in Pali), although I'm more partial to anatta/anatman, myself.

Hell ... I should have been paying more attention to this thread : massages, brandy and cheesecake.

Yes in Hindi it can be spelled either 'Atma' or 'Atman'.

Pali isnt spoken as a native language- i dont think it ever has, it's more a dialect ish...i dont know how to explain it. I don't know much about Pali.

Anatta/Anatman is the direct Buddhist teaching if im correct? But that's all i know, if i am correct.

Indeed - you're up to on the couch with Nirvana (a redundancy in there somehow), massages, brandy, cheesecake - you must be popular!

I believe it's the latter in Sanskrit, too.

Pali is a literary language, not unlike Classical Sanskrit. The Theravada Buddhist texts are in Pali, most notably.

Anatta/Anatman is the direct Buddhist teaching if im correct? But that's all i know, if i am correct.

Yes. Anatta is one of the three marks of existence: dukkha, anicca, and anatta. The three marks of existence being, in my opinion, possibly the best idea that has ever occurred to anyone.

I wouldnt know about Sanskrit- my grandparents probably would...most prayer songs are in Sanskrit- so i can read/ pronounce it if its in the English Alphabet.

Well, that's an interesting opinion to have. I don't actually know what they are, however.

Are you Buddhist then?

 

[CrimsonMaiden]

ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch damnit

Argh...

Are you really in pain, or just angling for some Vana on the couch, massage from Grace, brandy and cheesecake?

(Here's some virtual brandy, anyway. )

 

[Roxanne Appleby]

'Pagali atma,' eh?

OK, if I can interpret the 'crazy' as 'eccentric,' which is certainly accurate.


(BTW, "pazzo/a" is crazy in Italian. I suppose it's just coincidence - the 'Indo-European' always seemed impossibly distant to me, but . . .)

Pain. Arms. Shoulders. Back. Neck.

It's caused by nerve damage in my head. I had a couple of seconds of vertigo and then WHAM! everything started to hurt.

I don't know particularly much about it, although I did spend an inordinate amount of time reading about Sanskrit grammar the other week.

Well, that's an interesting opinion to have. I don't actually know what they are, however.

Dukkha is also the first of the Four Noble Truths (and ergo the basis for what Buddhism seeks to address), and is commonly translated as suffering, though this is not entirely correct. It's a fairly complicated term, but it means something along the lines of lacking, missing, incomplete, and unsatisfactory. Anicca is impermanence, and anatta is no-self or no-soul.

Are you Buddhist then?

Occasionally.
