Into my 53rd year on this wonderful planet! I've been a bit of a yo-yo in regards to Taoism, that may be down to my lack of self discipline though! In the past I've expored Christianity, Buddhism and the Bahai Faith, but never felt at ease with any of them; religion suffocated me! And so I have returned to the infinite expression of the Tao. I would appreciate any suggestions as regards to meditations(I do meditate - I go within) and books to read. Namaste, gentle wind

A couple of interesting videos I've watched this past 24 hrs. Stuart Wilde - he swears a lot, so be warned! and David Bingham - who doesn't swear! and who mentions the Military Industrialist Complex! Impressive dude! EnJoy! Namaste, gentlewind

sometimes I have great difficulty in remembering what I had to eat two days ago! a week ago - impossible! last year.........aagghh not a chance unless I write it in a journal! I believe we are being protected by not being able to remember our past lives. It would send us to the crazy house! Maybe schizophrenics are able to remember theirs - would you like to suffer thus? I have worked in the mental health profession, and have seen the pain and suffering endured by schizophrenics; many are drugged senseless to make it easy for the staff, and in some extreme cases for the safety of the patient. Its just a thought, something to entertain you in the dark or light hours. Their will be enlightened souls able to remember their past lives, but they will not advertise the fact. For me enlightened simply means being in the now, having removed all the filters of the mind. Seeing and being - pure. Virginal. Wonderful place to be. We are eternal conscious beings. Unfortunately many of us have been conditioned from the womb onwards, so its a life long pilgrimage to remove the filters(conditioning). One of my 'conditions' was being judgemental(a behaviour picked up from my Mother), without consciously thinking the thought I would be watching in horror as a negative thought(to me) would appear. My Mum had a harsh and cutting tongue, even to her own flesh and blood! Fat* people would come under attack, and I found myself doing the same without engineering such thoughts - they would just appear; thankfully I am nowhere as near as bad as I used to be. If the thought/s appear I just witness and don't connect, and when no thought appears I am truly content. Sorry for veering off topic with that! Consciousness rocks!!! Namaste, gentlewind * funny thing is I almost reached 20 stones due to my medications and chronic health so who the heck am I to judge!!! I am now 17 stones, as my appetite goes into decline - a good thing I trust! 14lbs = 1 stone 20 stone = 280lbs 17 stone = 238lbs I am over 6ft tall.

Basher, their have been plenty of studies showing the dangers of mobile telephone masts. Sadly profit is the ruler. Within a 1 mile radius we have 5 of these masts! The youngest person who had cancer was just older than my daughter - she's 18! He has survived, but underwent chemo, which studies have shown lead to cancer later. Modern medicine has its place, but Mother Nature via homeopathic, natural and herbal medicine has her place too. But on matters like microwaves and mobile phone masts, have a listen to this gentleman - you'll not regret it, although you may need a stiff drink afterwards! Barrie Trower (1 of 13) "Barrie Trower is a retired British military intelligence scientist. He trained at the Government's Microwave Warfare establishment in the 60's, and worked with the underwater bomb disposal unit, which used microwaves. In the 70's he helped debrief spies trained in microwave warfare. His first degree is in Physics. (specialized in microwaves.) His second degree is a research degree. He also has a teaching diploma in human physiology and also teaches advanced physics and mathematics at South Dartmoor College." ---bio from Electromagnetic Radiation Research Foundation of South Africa http://www.emrrfsa.org/emrrfsa-scient...

Yes! Posted some info on this on Facebook. When I was told I may need chemo back in 2004 I told them no thanks! 75% of doctors have said they'd refuse chemo! I've read up on the horror stories, and would never undergo such barbaric 'treatment'. A neighbor of mine died during his chemo treatment, and I'd informed him of the dangers. Waste of a young life, he was in his mid 40's. I live in a small close where 5 people have had cancer, 2 died. Too many folk are getting cancer, is it 1 in 3? Sure I read that. Namaste, gentlewind

Hi Barracuda1975, will check Opeth out, heard the name but never knowingly listened to their music! You may enjoy Suicidal Tenencies and Panter. Both are on my favorite list, ST are a manic trip, while Pantera ram you into the ground! On a gentler note, embrace the gentle power of Magnum https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=2JGyhDOjINQ Namaste, gentlewind with air guitar

from Birmingham UK, come pomp rock legends - MAGNUM:- Hope you enJoy Namaste, gentlewind

Going off grid is something I'd love to do, alas due to my physical carriage being barely road worthy I'd have to be part of a bigger group. The 18 yr old model would have had no hesitations! Fit and strong, unlike now broken and so wrong! Unable to move, sorry sight of a groove who you'll see me sitting on a creaking wooden stool!!! Other options would be to join an established commune, and that would take serious research. So, for now I'll dream! Namaste, gentlewind

Fear mongering at its best - Alex Jones!!! Ickey is a pussy cat ! Namaste, gentlewind

I can listen to David but my wife always falls asleep !!! His message has never really evolved though! He keeps repeating himself, although he will be doing some good! I enjoy watching Jim Marrs, Rob Menard, Andrew Johnson(UK), and a few others! More into consciousness these days, and Conscious TV (You Tube) offer some excellent videos. For comedy its Bill Hicks and George Carlin!

Rick Simpson - genuine hero who should have a reward for loving and caring for people who needed it! Gave his Cannabis Oil away for free! Yet the country of his birth wants to put in him prison! Are they for real? The man gave terminally ill cancer patients oil from a plant which cured cancer, and they(parasites in suits) want to jail him! Big Pharma causes harma and yet earn $$$$$$$$$$$ and they cause more harm, and death! You do know we are being run by psychopaths???!!! Ahem, rant over! My nasal cancer was cured by a healer near Liverpool. I went to his house for the healing which was done through Len and his partner. I sat in a chair opposite them and closed my eyes, as did they, and then the healing session began. I felt as though I was near Home(spiritual Home that is) and was at such a beautiful peace, I had a Oneness experience! Then I felt a strong warm sensation on the left side of my face - near to the site of the tumor; and then I felt an energy leave the site of the tumor. My cancer had left me! And the fee they charged me - nothing! Beautiful people! So, if cancer bites me again I will, if I can find some, use the cannabis oil method. People need to wake up to Big Pharma Scam - they keep us sick for a reason! Namaste, gentlewind Rick Simpson I've increased my intake of CS and my tooth problem is now easing!!!

and a Liverpudlian Hi back at you Namaste, gentlewind

Hi Basher, Palace are OK! Remember that 9-0 thrashing we gave you at Anfield!!! Although you did defeat us in the FA Cup semi's, some revenge their!!! But 9-0!!! Sorry Basher!!! The Reds are far from their glory days though, a poor shadow of what they once were. Is Brendan the man to return them to at least challenge for a top 4? Time will tell! But its only a game, I don't take it too seriously these days! I even have in-laws who are Man U fans - shock horror!!! But they're good in-laws! Metal! Zep, Sabbath, Purple - oh pure bliss!!! I read Ozzy's autobiography and its brilliant! Lunatic that he is! My wife's fave Priest tune! Namaste, gentlewind

I am a daily consumer of colloidal silver, and make it from water which has been filtered through my British Berkefeld, here's a link about it:- I used to make my colloidal silver with Purified Water(5 UK Pounds for 5 Litre Bottle), but am more than happy using the filtered water. As for the colloidal silver generator, here is what I use:- 3 x 9v Batteries (you can use 1 x 9v Battery, it just takes longer!) 2 Silver Rods 2 Crocodile Clips The cost of the home made generator is around 15 UK Pounds, a generator purchased online can cost over 50 UK Pounds! I believe some generators are way too overpriced! I make my colloidal silver without any frills! I fill an empty coffee jar with water(the 200g size - after its been washed!)and then fold my silver rods(they are actually strips) over the top of the jar, then clip my crocodile clips to the silver rods and batteries; 8 minutes later I have my colloidal silver. I then clean my silver rods with a kitchen sponge, dry and put away. This is how I've been making my CS for over ten years, and it has served me well, and my friends and pets! On the internet you will find a variety of ways of making CS, some folk say use distilled water and others say add salt(don't add salt!). I keep it simple and simple works! Another link! This site is Australian and has a page of D-I-Y CS Generator designs(left hand side) - were I got my idea!!! Good site, reliable too! http://www.silverwell.com.au/ The only problem I have with CS is not consuming enough!!! Hope this helps. Namaste, gentlewind

Nightwish with Tarja was sublime! We are both big fans of Nightwish with Tarja, and were sad when she left. From Japan, here's a band I like:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3NcIlXrAvA

Mother Nature - She is sweet! I also make my own colloidal silver, a natural anti biotic. Have done so for over ten years with 100% success rate! Including friends and pets. I give bottles away to friends and family. Great to hear about your health success. Food - natural and non GMO is a must. Processed foods are slow killers, and the additives are a nightmare - Aspartame and MSG for starters! Much of what we purchase is harmful sadly. Unless people educate themselves they will continue to suffer! Namaste, gentlewinds

Namaste DragonScholar! Thanks for the hello! Look forward to our future discussions on this forum what bands do you like? I'll add a few more! Metal Church Magnum(from Birmingham UK) Metallica Marillion Clutch Namaste, gentlewinds - time for the air guitar to come out!

Namaste, gentlewind

Nature has so much to offer - and for free, which is why Big Pharma doesn't respect her. I have seen 'A World Without Cancer, The Story of Vitamin B17', and agree with you - it is amazing! I have a packet of Apricot Kernels in my kitchen cupboard! My wife makes an amazing 'meat loaf' with lentils and oats! She also uses tumeric and garlic a lot in her cooking! Thanks for the welcome Other possible cancer cures include mung beans and asparagus.

Thanks for the welcome Heavy Metal is in my blood as well as in my chest My ordination into the church of metal happened a long time ago - when Bon Scott was still alive, AC/DC were awesome in those days! They lost their edge when Brian Johnston became their vocalist, but they still have a huge fan base. Judas Priest are my all time number 1 metal band, Halford's voice is amazing. I also served my time as a roadie with local rock and metal bands, travelling the UK and meeting some wonderful and weird folk - I love weird! I met Paul Di'Anno the former Iron Maiden singer when one of the bands I worked with was their support band, great chap and most helpful - feet firmly on the ground! I also managed a few bands and wrote lyrics for a few. Memories........ah, bliss! For my funeral I will be having the Judas Priest classic, 'Beyond The Realms of Death' playing as the coffin disappears behind the curtain!

The Big Lebowski has a kind of Taoist following. Cracking film with excellent music and a laid back message. Namaste, gentlewind

A few times a week I meditate on dying. I have inside knowledge due to my Near Death Experience at age 12. I also have a wacky sense of humor, and visualize myself bungy jumping from my physical body when it finally evicts me! Fear of Life is behind a lot of my failures, such as fearing what other people think of me, which I'm well past now! But I have no fear of dying as it is simply the removal of this rented physical vehicle, in fact I am looking forward to returning Home; some folk say I'm almost too eager! Also, due to cancer I have come very close to returning Home! 2003 almost saw me make it Home - a close scrape indeed! I have developed a dark sense of humor which my wife dislikes with a vengeance!

Hi Phaolan, I've just arrived here too! Also looking to change my diet too! As well as 'working' on my spiritual self, which I've neglected for too long. Lack of self discipline mainly to blame, plus too easily distracted! Shameful for someone who is over 50! But.......................................then this happened............................. I have been through a life changing 12 months and now know that we are all One, we all come from the one Source. I dislike the word G_d because of its connections to orthodox religion. Life is a beautiful Mystery. Looking forward to my time here! Namaste, gentlewind
