    I still think that cats are the perfect Taoists.

    Unless they're high, then they become zen masters. My friend put his cat in a big fish tank and lit up marijuana and allowed the smoke to fill up the tank. They let it out later and it just sat there for the entire day without moving an inch :D

    They cultivate the Facebook samadhi to contemplate using the "like" button :ninja:

    you definitely have a point here. Likely the same principle at work seeing so many are now hooked on the ritual of social media-ing. Its very intense indeed. Frightening even. So much so that it can even supersede doing basic stuff like eating, having a shower, studies, exercise, quality time with family, doing Sunday outings.... extreme Fixation of an alarming degree i dare say. Wonder where all this is going to lead in the next 10 to 15 years.

    There is another thread in the off topic section regarding the chat. A few of us have used it to tell others whether we were in the chat or not, maybe search it up using the search function and just bump it if you feel lucky :) I usually just hang out in there and some people join the chat after a little bit of waiting.

    I have had thoughts these last few years that just before I die, I will find some neurosurgeon willing to operate on my brain and sever the afferent nerves to all my sense organs so that I can experience what it is like to have no external sensory perceptions for some months so that I could explore in detail the boundaries of perception.

    That may cost a lot of money. You will need to have heavy support, because you won't be able to breath, eat, drink. Pretty much a coma. You will be placed into anesthesia before the operation and you might not even know when you wake up. You could also go into shock or just die straight out as a result of the operation. I really just suggest you meditate ;d

    had a real nice realization that I thought was deep and went on and on about it to my teacher until he said:

    "lol wtf are you talking about"

     

    but in serious terms, there was a time when i was getting really pissed off, to which my friend made a slight remark in response, and i had a moment where i realized the effects of all my actions that caused me to just stay quiet and think seriously about my ego and karma. ive volunteered at soup shelters and been around plenty of homeless people (poor area in the city that i grew up), but this one moment really just made me shut the fuck up

    I like to get up around 4 am (like to!) when it's still nice and quiet without the bustle of the city (I live in a busy city and next to a busy road), but I get up at around 5:30 to 6 in which I can start to see the sunrise, then onto my short qigong routine which begins with a short mantra about the sun (trying to keep at least that part consistent). After that it's mantra practice although it's pretty hard to concentrate at the start when I'm fantasizing about my morning coffee which is right after practice :(. The only times when I get to enjoy the 4 am period now is when exams take place.

    John Chang seems to be hard to find. Have you searched up Chunyi Lin of Spring Forest Qigong? Even if you and your husband do not live in U.S., he gives healing through phone calls. If you guys aren't having any luck finding John Chang, then I'd suggest looking up Chunyi Lin and giving a phone healing a try. I've never personally tried it though, only heard about this service through other members on this forum.
