  1. Mom... Octopus are animals

    More animal friends. Cat and crow...
  2. PPD request

    Would like a PPD.
  3. Mom... Octopus are animals

    Cool kid.
  4. "It's not reiki but..."

    Very good info here. Only person I know of personally who's doing reiki says he always gets sick after healing people but he then goes on to heal himself. Wish I knew this better before my short adventure in energy healing some years back. I intuitively knew I could get sick from doing it and what do you know I now have some "damage" in the area I was trying to heal. Same with the person that was doing it with me.
  5. There are some phones that make my head swim now if I keep them close to my head, with hands free I don't feel much. Also near power lines and such.
  6. Meditating in a graveyard

    I don't particularly have any feelings for graveyards, but we have a tradition here to go see graves of relatives and ancestors, place flowers or candles there and tend the grave. It's usually very peaceful in the ones I visited, never had feelings of lingering entities or such there. I did that once as a teenager, but I think maybe it was the girl taking me there. It was a serene place.
  7. Hou Tian vs Xian Tian & Xiao Yao Pai

    What is the UTUT-mantra?
  8. I was asking in general since she was brought up as an examplar of sorts and rather easily accessible(in contrast to Yan Xin) touring the world.
  9. So have you experienced Amma's power yourself?
  10. Evil Warlord/Neigung

    I bet the book "Evil Warlord Neigong" will have the original Terminator movie poster with Arnold in shades as a cover...
  11. The MCO is Taoist fundamentalism

    That unpleasantness could have been avoided if you provided your source or proof besides allegory and unsubstantiable gossip for your warnings on the "mo pai". You seem to be warning people about lots of things. Have you heard of the boy who cried wolf?
  12. Finding a good guide / teacher.

    Besides lacking training, many people are now saying she wasn't that great either. edit: theresa that is
  13. the Tao isn't taoist

    Tao just is and has been "discovered" in various places and times. The laozi is however the best expression of it that I've had the pleasure of reading in translations of various accuracy. I try not to read too much so I don't forget the tao itself.
  14. Damn that's so sick, but doesn't surprise me one bit.
  15. Not saying it's not an issue but I think that video was just parody.
  16. Name change

    Please change my forumname to xor
  17. Name change

    Yes. I prefer a name without the umlauts. Vaina is too close to vainaja which means deceased in Finnish. Anyway if it feels too "yang" I'll have to find a name with balance... I'd prefer the name all in small letters if it's possible, no capital X
  18. http://killerapps.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/10/01/on_the_eve_of_the_government_shutdown_the_pentagon_spent_billions_on_weapons To me doesn't sound like the behaviour of someone out of money to spend a crapload of money on weapons.
  19. Do we need to describe taoist, isn't dao hard enough to describe?
  20. Were Hiroshima and Nagasaki war-crimes?

    It's not just hindsight. Many smart military men thought and knew they were unnecessary... there is a short but decent piece on wikipedia: There's always war crimes in war on all sides.
  21. Were Hiroshima and Nagasaki war-crimes?

    Yeah you have to wonder why would they defend an insignificant island like Iwo JIma to the last man and why was it attacked with equal determination? It was in bombing range to their home cities... just something to think about.
  22. An End to Killing Taoist Movie.

    There is no Satan in Taoism.....
