Awesome! Best fortune changing book there is.

(This is really for American Taoists--It isn't what to do in life, it's what NOT to do! What you do in your 30s determines the rest of your life. Spend your time building independent sources of income and keep women at arm's length. In other words: date them, fuck them--but don't marry them! Don't live with them either because that is another set of laws. Don't fuck them on your property either or they could take it. Don't date single mothers because you will inherit responsibility for their children if she can prove you formed a bond with them--which she will. If you ever get a girl pregnant and she refuses to abort, then tell her fine she can pursue you for child support in the courts but you will certainly not marry her and you will never speak to her or the kid again. Chances are she will abort when she realizes she has limited power. If not, you take the minimal hit.) If I could offer a young man one piece of sage advice, it would be this: Don't get married. Don't do it. Come the divorce, as come it probably will, the courts will systematically shear you of your children, your house, and huge amounts of your income for twenty years. Don't do it. It isn't worth it. Nothing is. My saying this usually brings, from women, cries that I'm an extremist or woman-hater. No. The problem is not women, but the courts. Men can behave every bit as reprehensibly as women, though they go about it differently. But the judicial system, which is politicized to the gills, utterly favors women over men in divorce cases, without remorse, decency, or concern for children. Should you doubt this, read, before you pop the most foolish of questions, "From Courtship to Courthouse", by the divorce lawyer Jed Abraham. Writes Abraham, "If you're like most men, you're married, or you hope to marry some day. You think you deserve to live happily ever after, but if things don't work out that way, you'll get a civilized divorce and move on. You'll stay pals with your ex, and you'll see your kids as often as you want. "You have no idea what you're getting into." And you don't. Not the faintest freaking clue. A few facts from Abraham: "The odds are 50% that your marriage will end in divorce. The odds are 70% that your divorce will be filed by your wife. The odds are 80% that your wife will get custody of your children-plus child support, alimony, and/or a hefty chunk of your property." That is how it is. Yes, I know: You don't think this applies to you. Cup Cake loves you. She would never behave in such a way. Think again. You have no conception of the hatred that divorce engenders. Men are callous; women are mean. When a family breaks up, when a life dreamed of disappears in flames and emotions go limbic, women are not the kinder sex, and certainly not the more rational. And Cup Cake will have the absolute upper hand, with the full power of the state to help her express her dissatisfaction with you. Abraham: "If your wages are not withheld and you fail to pay your child support, the State will garnish your pay, slap liens on your property, intercept your tax refunds, report you to credit agencies, discontinue your driver's license, suspend your professional and business permits, hold you in contempt of court, put your face on a wanted poster, throw you in jail, and deny you food stamps. But if your ex doesn't spend that very same support on the children, the State will do. . . nothing." It gets worse. There is, for example, "imputed income." This means that your child support will be based not on what your children need, not on what you earn, but on what the court decides you could earn. Don't do it. If you love Cup Cake, live with her. Be kind to her. Be loyal to her. She may be as nice as you think she is: Many women are. Buy her roses. Just don't marry her, or have children with her. If the laws were even-handed, marriage would be an admirable institution. The laws aren't equal. But it's the kids she'll use, should things get nasty, to tear your guts out. If you're sure that Cup Cake won't do this, you're crazy. True, she may not. Not all women do, or not to the same degree. But you won't know until it's too late. And the courts will do anything she wants. Abraham: "Your ex will warm to calling all the shots. She may cancel your visitation now and then. If she's truly mean-spirited, she'll go much further. Under the cover of her court-appointed role as sole custodian, she'll systematically sever your relationship with the children. She'll badmouth you to them. She'll schedule their extracurricular activities during your visitation time. For good measure, she may accuse you of domestic violence and child abuse." Think "joint custody" is the answer? The courts won't enforce it. What are you going to do-sue Mommy? The kids will hate you for it. Do you believe in pre-nups? The courts ignore them. Read Abraham. It's all there. Then, says Abraham, there's the killer: "More efficiently, your ex may simply move with the children to a distant community, with the law's acquiescence." Kids are the crunch, guys. They hurt. And she will know it, and use it. The courts will help her. At bottom, the position of the courts is that the children are her property, like furniture. Judges don't care about you at all. Ever drive away from what used to be your home, with your daughter of four streaking across the parking lot, yelling, "Daddy! Daddy! Please come back!"-and you can't? Ever have your little girl of four say, "Daddy, can I get my birthday present early?" "Why, Pumpkin?" "Well. . . after the divorce we might move, and I won't see you again." That's what you are in for, guys. Don't do it. You'll be suicidally depressed, miss your kids to the point of desperation, be almost frantic-and the courts will make sure you can do nothing about it. The ex will probably enjoy it. That's the reality. Don't believe it? Talk to men who have been there. Why do women do these things? Not because they're evil. Cup Cake is probably a perfectly decent woman in her dealing with the rest of the earth. She'll do it because she hates you, which is the normal outcome of a divorce. She'll do it because she can. She's furious because the marriage didn't work, which will be entirely your fault. And the law gives her every incentive: She will get the house, the kids, the child support-and she knows she will. If women knew they had an even chance of not getting custody, of having to pay child support, the divorce rate would drop like a prom dress and joint custody would suddenly mean joint custody. Women love their children as much as men do. But that's not how it is. The courts encourage divorce, and they rape men. Get used to it. "The odds are it doesn't pay for you to marry and have kids."

Paul Sheehan, an Australian reporter, dug out the following information for an article in the Sydney Morning Herald , May 2, 1995. Sheehan based his statistics on crime data compiled by the FBI and partially reported each year in The FBI Uniform Crime Report . These reports can be researched at the FBI's website, www.fbi.gov. Since the FBI doesn't distinguish between Hispanics and whites, Sheehan's statistics don't adequately reflect the black-white crime situation. Only about 10-15% of Hispanics are white, with the rest being Indian or a mixture of white, American Indian, and blacks. Hispanic crime rates are almost as high as black crime rates. This means that the data Sheehan compiled on inter-racial crime is probably grossly understated since a considerable portion of the "white against black" crime actually is Hispanic against black crime. (Information about this aspect of inter-racial crime will be presented in a related article.) Here is the information Sheehan uncovered in his analysis of the FBI's crime reports: Blacks murder more than 1,600 whites each year. Blacks murder whites at 18 times the rate whites murder blacks. Blacks murdered, raped, robbed, or assaulted about one million whites in 1992. In the last 30 years, blacks committed 170 million violent and non-violent crimes against whites. Blacks under 18 are more than 12 times more likely to be arrested for murder than whites under 18. About 90% of the victims of interracial crimes are white. Blacks commit 7.5 times more violent interracial crimes than whites, although whites outnumber blacks by 7 to 1. On a per capita basis, blacks commit 50 times more violent crime than whites. Black neighborhoods are 35 times more violent than white neighborhoods. Of the 27 million nonviolent robberies in 1992, 31% (8.4 million) were committed by blacks against whites. Less than 2% were committed by whites against blacks. Of the 6.6 million violent crimes, 20% (1.3 million) were interracial. Of the the 1.3 million interracial violent crimes, 90% (1.17 million) are black against white. In the past 20 years, violent crime increased four times faster than the population. In the last 30 years (1964-94), more than 45,000 people were killed in interracial murders compared to 38,000 killed in Korea and 58,000 in Vietnam. Sheehan commented that the contents of his article could not possibly be published or discussed in the U.S. mainstream media. In the last 50 years, the white part of the American population has declined from 90% to 72%. The U.S. now has about 33 million blacks and 25 million Hispanics (legal and illegal). By the year 2050, American whites will be a minority, just 49%. By 2100, whites will be 25% of the population. What will life for whites be like in the future? The United States of America A white country in 1776 A Third World country in 2076! better keep that second amendment alive and well. because if you don't. you figure it out.

Poles never get caught because God takes care of children and retards.

But Max, if I don't love them squirrels then who will? *sound of electrical tape*

Can I use it to tell myself over and over that I have a big penis that all women like?

Well, looks like the end of the Healing Tao discussion board. Time for Tao Bums!

HAHAHAHAHAHA--is he using a PE hanger?

Yes, it should not be done on a full stomach. However, it shouldn't make your belly bigger. This practice expands the ribs. Too much focus on Dan Tien not good!

I am told that the strikes will continue on a regular basis. :twisted:

Working Toward Enlightenment To Realize Enlightenment Go "Amazon" them!

How about we sell taobums.com t-shirts? We get an account at cafepress.com and upload this logo of ours and artwork.

Yeah, it is floating around under the name "Buddha Squats." I just started taking L-Glutamine.

Just so you know, I have taken your advice and I am doing them on a regular basis. One day I will get my pistol!

At the bottom of this page: http://www.reopen911.org/pictures_and_videos.htm are 4 downloads of the movie these guys made. I have never seen a better analysis of the 911 attack. Even if you've read the other books, you can't miss this. For example, they have video of people totally unscathed standing inside the hole the plane made. They aren't being burned with jet fuel! Really, you must watch these videos.

Sean, If everyone agrees to increase our visibility, create for me a link directory page which I will fill with relevant Daoist, Buddhist and Confucionist links. Then, I will get these peeps to link back. This will create an enormous amount of relevant traffic. We can become a portal to the Asian esoteric world. Let me know. It wouldn't take us long. Also, I can come up with a domain name that would help us ascend the search engines faster. Let me know...

I was in a flame war with this whore on craigslist.org (NYC) and she was talking about what a slut she was before marriage but doesn't tell her husband about it because it would hurt him. I ask her why she thinks he would be hurt and she says because she has had more experience then him and he would be intimidated. I laugh at this, because the real truth goes something like this... A man is at a terrible disadvantage to a woman in the sex department: if a woman wants a gangbang all she has to do is ask a group of men. Men don't have it this easy. So of course her husband's hurt is first-and-foremost jealousy that she had a better time then he did! Now here is where I set up my killing blow: Marriage is about love and intimacy. Love is proved via sacrifrice, and intimacy is proved via honest communication. So, this woman is not in an intimate relationship because she is not communicating honestly (she is deceiving her husband). Naturally, if she were to be honest, he would divorce her tomorrow when he found out what a whore she was--or would he? Well, he wouldn't if she made the appropriate sacrifices to prove her love--i.e., providing him with enough sexual fun to even the score. I am talking about bringing home hot girls for threesomes, etc., etc... If this hooker-bitch of a wife was really so secure herself she would do so without a thought--but her so-called "love" simply isn't strong enough. She can't get over her own jealousy. I would go so far as to say that what she calls her "love for him" is in fact a farce. Women fancy going around and saying that they lie to men because "men are too fragile to handle the truth." But what is this "truth" which we won't be able to handle (in a way that will leave the woman with her head still attached :twisted: )? The truth is much more then the fact that it is the woman (and not the man) who can't get over her own jealousy. Oh no! The truth is that it is all about controlling men and striking at them in a very yin sort of way because she herself does not know love nor good sex--no matter what she claims. She is furious with men and uses her hidden slutty past as a curious sort of "secret weapon." She rather cheats the man she is with and hold him in quiet contempt with her "semblance of love." Perhaps one day he will catch wind of her history and she can then point the finger at him--projecting her own jealousy and inner rage on him, mastermind a divorce and strike another blow against the men she hates. Let me tell you, a woman who loves you does anything for you. If she sees that you are hurting because you didn't get enough sex she will do what she has to do to make you feel good about yourself. There are very few women out there like this, but the ones that exist know what love, support and healing are all about.

Over the last few months I have been working with the materials of a physical culturist by the name of Scott Sonnon. What makes his method of physical culture unique and relevant to all human beings, is that his focus is on ridding the body of all tension and movement restrictions while getting you into amazing shape at the same time. "So what?" I can hear you say. "What does this have to do with my prostate?" Well, your "tension and movement restrictions" are actually the stored reflections of your memories of emotional and physical trauma--and you travel through life handicapped by them. Your back pain, your inescapable fear of barking dogs, your swollen prostate... ... they are all related. Some of you may not believe me. It is a radical concept with a special appeal for the young at heart--those who still remember that there was a time when they were happy and could smell the proverbial flowers. Do yourself a favor, and accept what I say in this newsletter as truth only until the end of this newsletter. Then you can go right back to your old way of thinking. I promise. Accept for just a few minutes, the notion that in order to make changes in your life--real changes that impel those around you to stand up and take notice, you'll have to let go of the current patterns that up until now have been the architects of your life. These patterns are "guests" that have taken up residence in your mind, and will not leave (as would be their normal course of movement) only because you do not let them go. These guests have been kept in the house of your mind against their will for so long that you often even mistake them for yourself! These guests are your mental addictions. An example of a mental addiction could be any compulsion that "blocks your flow." I know that the word "compulsion" brings to mind those who wash their hands one time too many per day, and that was my intention in choosing such an adjective. You see, a neurotic hand-washing addiction is an obvious example of a compulsion because it lies outside of the range of what we consider "normal" or "baseline" mental activity and therefore begs for our attention. From a Zen point of view, one could say that the habit of having conversations in your head is a compulsion. One could say the same for the projection of an angry drama into your future where you fantasize about exactly what you are going to tell so-and-so when they say such-and-such to you. Even the "creative visualization" of standing in front of a Mercedes dealership imagining yourself in a particular model in graphic detail is often just another form of neurosis that robs you of the present moment. So, why are we so addicted to staying OUT of the present moment? Because the present moment usually sucks. In the present moment is where the painful past starts talking to you from the memories stored in your physical body in the form of tension and limited range of motion. The present moment is where you notice the evil along with the good, and where one experiences anxiety about the future. So you stay glued to the TV to distract yourself. If there is no TV around then your mind becomes the TV where you watch your own private "trauma-porn" over-and-over again when it should be a mirror reflecting the beauty all around you. As you read the above, you probably said to yourself "Man, these things you call 'compulsions' and 'addictions' are all normal mental activities that everybody indulges in!" That's the problem. A cluttered mind is so common that it isn't even worthy of notice until it gets to the point that you find yourself smitten with a nervous tic or two! LOL At that point I won't need to convince you of the wisdom of "letting go" but by then it will be too late. You'll be helpless because at that point the patterns in your mind will have already shaped your body into their own image, and flesh is much harder to transform then are your thoughts. Water doesn't flow easily when you add sand--it becomes concrete! You'll "let go" but "it" just won't leave. Why? Because your mind will still be getting the trapped signal from your body that it is not safe to let go, and the mind listens to the body because it needs the body in order to return to its origin. This is a very deep spiritual concept here, and something to keep in mind for the future. There is a saying in the "east" that goes something like "Without the body, the Tao cannot be realized but with the body, one cannot know the truth." Something like that. See, the body normally listens to the mind, but not when survival issues are at stake. This is when the mind defers to the body. Ironically, most "survival issues" that we store as trauma were not responses to true life-threatening events, but rather ego-threatening events which were generated in our minds to begin with! The only solution I have found in my years as a Taoist adept is to work on letting go of the dysfunctional patterns in my body so that I'll have a window of opportunity to let them go in my mind. The mental part was easy once I knew how: I just didn't hold onto any thoughts anymore and they went away on their own. Actually, I shouldn't write about this in the past tense since it is happening all the time as long as I stay mindful of my thoughts. The chemicals tied to stress, trauma, fear, etc. cannot help but be re-cycled for good use. It is just that simple, or as Coach Sonnon would say, "simply sophisticated." Some people sit around and chant mantras or blank their minds via concentrated effort on their navels or perform a myriad of active/passive meditations. They all have their merits but the best method based on my experiences is to simply mimic the natural state of your mind which is more like a mirror then a sponge and just reflects the clouds as they drift on by. One moment your thoughts are there, and the next they are gone. Pretty scary actually, and it takes some getting used to but the magic does comes from the space between your thoughts and the space between your breaths. For my readers who come from a Taoist or spiritual background, what I am saying is that the whole esoteric school of thought with all of its "practices" and "techniques" only takes you so far and then you have to jump into the unknown. You have to have that "faith" that the Christians like to talk about so much. Faith in some god, faith in yourself, faith in the universe... whatever. But you have to have it or else you stay stuck forever in the realm of NLP, black magic, etc. BUT!!! The point is that you cannot follow this path if your body is like frozen cement with locked joints, rigid muscles and knotted tendons. It is just not possible. Blame karma, blame it on the need to earn your wisdom... sometimes one just has to create their life in such a way so that it gets THAT bad before one embarks on the path of change and can really "get" the importance of overcoming one's mental addictions by dropping a little more with each and every day. This is why Coach Sonnon's material is so critical. It is your rope out of hell--but you still have to grab it and climb. What does this have to do with your prostate? Plenty. But I don't have the time to intellectualize the connection. I already shot my wad on this newsletter. Plus, most of you won't do a damn thing with the information here anyway. That's just how it is. It's cool. I simply offer my wisdom up because it is what I must do. It is the way. Some of you need to be exposed to this stuff--these notes from a convicted hacker of human consciousness. So, for those of you who know just exactly what it is that I am pointing at and jumping up and down about, here is a link to an incredible movement protocol that will give you amazing results in your quest for a healthy prostate and optimum functioning of your sexual organs: And your life in general, for that matter... C'mon, join the tribe! http://www.circularstrengthmag.com/23/sonnon.html For those of you interested in studying Scott Sonnon materials further, my recommendation based on what has worked for me is FREEDOM BY DEGREE: http://www.rmax.tv/freedom.html Enjoy!

...because as "The Professor" wrote in Living in the Tao, "it isn't what to do, but rather what not to do that is important in your life." Tao Bums love their freedom.
