1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    I'm aware of all this, but thanks for the reminder. A drag? Not really, I'm just working on my equilibrium. It's a rocky road these days.

    Happy, sad, good, bad, up, down, light, dark, female, male, yin, yang. It's the supreme law of the universe. It's what makes life interesting.
    Not to burst any bubbles(though I relish the role of devil's advocate), but no one can be happy every moment of everyday. If they were we'd all die of sheer boredom. Even the Buddha got irritated now and again when someone kicked dirt in his rice or stepped on the back of his heels one too many times.

    Nah... Sat-Chit-Ananda... living in bliss, is not boredom... the very nature of this happiness is non-boredom. THat's why Yogananda called it EVER- NEW bliss...

    It's is possible to be happy all the time... some mystics were... there basic needs were cared for and they lived in this sat-chit-ananda.
