In Zen, a koan is a sort of word puzzle, assigned to students by their master. Strictly speaking, koans are not riddles, in that a riddle is a word puzzle which can, however tortuously, be solved rationally. Koans are intentionally beyond the power of the mind to solve. Their purpose is to force an intuitive leap which carries the student beyond the rational plane to an enlightened state, even if initially only for a moment. ... www.zoofence.com/define04.html

A seemingly paradoxical riddle or statement that is used as a training device in Zen practice to force the mind to abandon logic and dualistic thought. www.geocities.com/mokuraibozu/buddhist_glossary.html

(jap.) - In Zen a Koan is usually a part taken out of a Sutra, a talk about the Zen Experience or an episode out of the life of ancient masters. The heart of each Koan is the Paradoxon that goes beyond the normal way of thinking. The Koan is no "riddle" and cannot be solved intellectually; a solution is only possible when reaching the other shore www.khm.de/~fabian/ensoenglishglossar.html

In Zen Buddhism, a question that cannot be answered logically; a technique used to test consciousness and bring awakening.

A koan is a story, dialog, question, or statement in the history and lore of Chan (Zen) Buddhism, generally containing aspects that are inaccessible to rational understanding, yet that may be accessible to Intuition. Koans are often used by Zen practitioners as objects of meditation to induce an experience of enlightenment or realization, and by Zen teachers as testing questions when a student wishes to validate their experience of enlightenment.

On another note:
Fights happen.
WE are all here to talk about spiritual matters.
Well, we are supposed to be here for that reason.
However from what I have observed.....
Sometimes it looks more like the monkeys in a zoo trying to throw sh!t at the humans. Add to that the potty humour overdone, and public sexual prowess displays, and breast beatings for domination, and posturings that scream "Look at us!" Well...spirituality is too often set aside for these silly and often cruel games.

Fights happen.
But some can work through them!
Sadly not all. Some love the attention and drama and side choosing too much.
EDIT/ADD September 29, 2006
I see more fights waiting in the wings, and attacks coming to some folks who do not deserve these attacks. There are a couple of dark storm clouds hiding beneath layers of puffy soft sunlit clouds. All that glitters is not gold and all who seem good are not. There will be losses and leavings and most at LL will never realize on the deeper and hidden levels, the behind the scene games, what is happening.
Those who wear the rose colored glasses are too often drawn to the surface beauty and pretty words. Until honesty comes to LL the fights will continue, cliques will form and it will not be a safe harbor for all, but only the cliquish ones.
The storms are coming and rainbows will not be here after those storms. As brash Beast is true and good, Beauty 'neath gentle guise can indeed be a Beast.
To all old Knowflakes, be nice please. To all new Knowflakes. be careful who you trust until you really get to know them. Even a seemingly nice place as Lindaland has its emotional vampires. Clue here for newbies; the more they talk about themselves, the more dangerous they may be. Beware those who toot their own horns too much. Beware those who are too good to be true.
Wow! Just like in the real world!
I don't know if any elves can help this time.
Good luck everyone.
(BTW...I have "I AM A REAL FAIRY ELF" in my lexigrammed name.)

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

while the people who drive those people away are posting all over...and half the time nothing to do at all with what the forum is about? hmmmm

I was fayte.m and then LEXX.
More people use to post but when I pointed out they were not creating actual Lexigrams many became very angry at me. I was doing Lexigramming some 28 years BEFORE Linda Goodman published Star Signs and some 15 years before she discovered this ancient art.
Lots of people became very upset at me for not doing them exactly like LG did.
Well why should I? I had done them and have done them far longer than she did and unlike her my creations have no errors; ie; added letters and words not found within the source one is attempting to Lexigram. Linda even briefly apologized in her Star Notes.
for her errors in Lexigramming.
I do not believe in her word druids as she described them ether; but have a theory as to what and who they really were

As to why few post here, I suspect it is because most folks call their creations with sadly as many as dozens of errors. they call these works Lexigrams but they are not Lexigrams.

The folks who want to learn how to create error free Lexigrams are a pleasure to work with.

Lexigramming and adding words and letters that cannot be found within the letters of the name/phrase etc., being Lexigrammed, and cheating by using improper spelling and homophonic substitutions is akin to cheating when doing Astrology charts and readings or Tarot, and adding information to those readings which are not actually there.
That is very unethical.
Basically if those rules are broken the creation(s) are not actual Lexigrams and should not be falsely called actual Lexigrams.
lol...rant over. Hope I made things clear.
Feel free to ask questions about Lexigramming!

but i agree with you on lexigrams, and i like when a person does things there own way, when due to experience they know it is the way it is meant to be.

Lexigramming is great, and just the any word used for any reason is 'magic' in itself, as it can make things better, worst, break up things, mend things, put things together or tear them forever apart...how can anyone downplay the power of words, specially when they themselves are using them to stir trouble, ie using the power of words for something silly they want to achieve, to satisfy someone else or something....

okay now it's me talking a lot....but still amazed at how accurate what you 'predicted' through a lexigram was...good for you!
