word! I love both styles/feels. They look fantastic when they're fresh:) - Ryan Oelke

BTW, I missed if Lindsey ever gave a translation for hers. I saw her tweet with the phonetics, but not the meaning. - Grey Drane from IM

Yeah, I don't think she has. She told me in an email. It's quite fascinating as the word can be read forwards and backwards. Forwards it has something to do with the meaning we make, related to the question "What do I know?", and backwards, it means the opposite, "what don't I know?", so both those questions related to the same experience, like a Zen koan. I think that's close.....and I might have gotten the backward/forward part wrong:P - Ryan Oelke

lol, actually, Chelsea bookmarked it on my laptop so she could send it to her delicious account:P But, yeah, it's a beautiful bracelet:) - Ryan Oelke

oh, and yep, the IS tat is permanent:) healed all up and looking good! did you see the vid of me getting it? on my site - Ryan Oelke

Funny that it was Chelsea. As I looked at the bracelet more it did seem a bit more suited to a female arm. Still a cool bracelet, though. - Grey Drane

Yeah, I had the meaning, but it took way too much to say in English and could not be adequately described in a short phrase. Stu's language is perfect for what I want, and it's beautiful. - Ryan Oelke

So what does it say? And does Stu hold any distance learning courses in Is? ;) - Grey Drane

well, I sent the following to Stu and allowed him to interpret into Is. I haven't chatted with him to see if it's more to the word or in the spirit of what I said. Either way, it's all good:) - Ryan Oelke

I'm trying to capture a paradox within this verb. Generally speaking, it's this non-dual mix of ascending and descending currents (see, you can't even say that shit right in English). Love without wanting. This is really only half of what I'm trying to say, more the ascending current, but it applies equally to "all beings", as well as say your lover. both a surrendering and a giving. To... more... - Ryan Oelke

producing those podcasts are not cheap. they have to make ends meet. they do it because they're passionate about sharing the dharma. but the reality is that there's no going around money. either you make money (directly or indirectly), or you don't. they're exploring ways to continue to do what they love and offer it free for the general audience. - ~C4Chaos

Please!! First off, there's no such thing as "banned" with a free podcast. You were never banned because there isn't such a thing. You can still listen to the show like everyone else. Yes, you asked us to transcribe our episodes and we said no because it was too costly for us. You were insistent and yeah, we invited you to pay for it. We might not respond to you via email, if that's what you mean by "banned". - Ryan Oelke
