but it didnt necessarily answer the thread question. I guess it doesnt matter to me enough thats why I didnt respond. I just want a flanger to play.
Maybe I should have titled it--'Looking for Flanger,Please share your personal experience with them '
Anyway, thanks for the good info,,
still looking for a flanger
YOU did not offend in any way, shape or form, my friend
I am GLAD you started that thread, because it has caused a chain reaction that may lead to some great things for several people, Ryan or Toadworks included.....
but today, this is on my mind...does anyone know where this is from?
A certain swordsman in his declining years said the following:
In one's life. there are levels in the pursuit of study. In the lowest level, a person studies but nothing comes of it, and he feels that both he and others are unskillful. At this point he is worthless. In the middle level he is still useless but is aware of his own insufficiencies and can also see the insufficiencies of others.
In a higher level he has pride concerning his own ability, rejoices in praise from others, and laments the lack of ability in his fellows. This man has worth. In the highest level a man has the look of knowing nothing .
These are the levels in general;. But there is one transcending level, and this is the most excellent of all.
This person is aware of the endlessness of entering deeply into a certain Way arid never thinks of himself as having finished. He truly knows his own insufficiencies and never in his whole life thinks that he has succeeded. He has no thoughts of pride but with self-abasement knows the Way to the end.
It is said that Master Yagyu once remarked, "I do not know the way to defeat others, but the way to defeat myself. ''
Throughout your life advance daily, becoming more skillful than yesterday, more skillful than today.
This is neverending.
