The depicted above, meditating frog gift I received from my dear friend Elly, I find him very funny and also a great idea to joke about meditation, to make it not too heavy and too serious. Here are some stories about frogs and their awareness
Osho had about the beautiful story of the pool frog which was visited one day by the ocean frog, The pool frog jump over a quarter of its coil and said:"Is the ocean so big?’ ‘Nee, much bigger’ said the ocean frog. Then leap frog over half of its coil and again questioned whether the ocean was so great, The answer again was "much bigger". Finally leap frog over its entire coil and said:'This is everything, larger ocean can not be '. We may wonder how we do almost all coil frogs and have no idea of the big picture. Goethe gods:"If we have no idea of the whole, we do not realize how fragmentary is our perception and knowledge’
” It is one of the most
resulting misconceptions
that the limit of our perception force
Also the border of everything
what is true is to be taken.”
C.W. Leadbeater
Two frogs ended up in a bucket of milk, the edge was too high, said a frog:'I give up, it makes no sense and drowned ', The other frog paddled with his feet as long as had become the milk butter and jumped out of the bucket.
Ten frogs wanted to climb a steep mountain, na zo'n 500 meter says a frog:"It's too steep, I give up', After a further 100 m say 8 other frogs' That first frog was right, it's too steep’ and gave up, However, one frog quietly climbed further, reaching the top, How can that be you ask yourself, Well that frog was deaf.
A hare questioned how it went with the animals, First he went to a cow and said:"It is going very well plonsje plonsje in and out ', when a horse and who also said:"Very very good plonsje plonsje in and out ', All animals were talking about plonsje in and out plonsje, Finally he came to a frog who said: "I'm doing not so well because I'm plonsje’
With a very wide mouth said breedbekkikker against the animals 'I am a breedbekkikker'. Then came a stork to him asking if he had seen a nice breedbekkikker, with a narrow mouth breedbekkikker said then that he knew nothing of it.
A frog came into a bar and asked for a coke, the bartender said he had to do but be patient, when the frog whined again cola, in Zei barkeeper:"If you continue like I nail you to the wall '. The frog whined on and the bartender nail him to the wall, beside Jesus on the cross and the frog said to Jesus:"Did you also nagged cola?’.
On my toilet hanging a picture of a stork with a frog in its beak, only the arms and legs of the frog stabbing there and you see the frog with his hands strangling the stork, above is the text:’Never ever give up’, the ooivaar looks very upset. If my scanner does it again, I will scan this cute illustration and publishing
In 2011 I dreamed about frogs that swam to the surface of a lake, I peed over them and they found it good too. My friend Elly indicated the dream quite like saying: "Quakers should you put down!’
There comes a frog cafe and orders a whiskey, He is charged with 10 euro and the bartender thinks frogs do not know much will depend on the prices and thus shows only 50 eurocent back check:"Gosh a frog in my bar drinking whiskey which you do not often see". "That sounds about right does the frog what do you want with these prices, I see you no more here!’
There has been an experiment with frogs how they react to circumstances, The first frog was thrown in hot water and jumped out again immediately, the second frog was put on fire in cold water, the water was getting hotter, but the frog sat and cooked death, so the people go when conditions gradually get worse we find out and can be fatal and we can if we 35 as if a zombie life and therefore are more dead than alive, and only when we are buried 80 zijn….
Finally, a story of the frog as a philosopher, I found the story on the Internet:
A centipede runs with a thousand legs. One day he comes to frog. The Frog, the filosoof what, observing him for a while and was worried. It was hard to walk on four legs, but this centipede was a thousand feet. That was a miracle! How centipede decided which leg he had to do first and what then, and what then? ?So the frog held the centipede standing and asked the question: "You set me a riddle. A problem arises that I can not solve. How do you walk? How do you play it done? It seems an impossibility ". ?The centipede replied somewhat surprised: "Um, I walk all my life, but I've never really thought about. Now it asks if I will think about it and then tell you. "?For the first time there were thoughts in the consciousness of the centipede. En ja, Frog was right - which leg he had to do first? The centipede stood there a few minutes, He could resist no leg. He staggered and fell to. ?And he said to the frog: "Ask that question please not even a centipede. I walk all my life and never had problems with it, but now you have signed my death warrant! I could resist no longer leg, and how is it then with a thousand legs?”
