    Interestingly: I don't need him to tell me how edit :Does any of us need to be told how to love? We have a lot of different methods at our disposal why add another unless that is what you are searching for. Better reply later (perhaps) I'm late for my chi gungs (must stop surfing before practice on the weekends) Hope the dentist was o.k. cat
  2. ... lllets talk KUNLUN! YAY!

    I'm not sure I understand your original question but My favorite thread was http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?showtopic=3570 The bums are a bit burnt out from over a year of strong debate about kunlun (hence the do a search ) There was / is a range of views: Never seen the method Kunlun looks intresting vs kunlun looks dangerous (i.e. speculation) Those that actually practiced or know the actual method give the rest of the spectrum kunlun is good <-> not for me <-> kunlun is bad do you mean have they kept practicing? Yes winpro augustleo camron joblast spring to mind as having a good spread of results. Many have had negative results, to be expected with something that actually does something The is it cleansing or is it actually a negative symptom? Debate will continue and it's probably down to individual differences rather than a generalization as to which one is correct. Most have moved on (I did) but most of us have tried many practices over our lives and so moving on from one practice is nothing unusual and I don't believe thats a reflection on the method I am thankful to Chris for his efforts to help us bums with kunlun I am thankful to kunlun for teaching me to meditate for 1 hour 20 min without the distraction of physical pain that I experience in static position seated meditation I still recommend kunlun to people as a book method that will actually do something. Perhaps the biggest "catch" for ANY method is when you start anything you "expect" a certain result. what you want, what you need, and what you get are rarely the same thing While I hear the the kunlun forum may have been unsuccessful in this aim I will close with this quote (bolds mine)
  3. How Bruce Lee Changed the World

    but he was the most influential martial artist who ever lived (let the debate begin, not enough kunlun threads anymore )
  4. Yes old threads are cool....evolution in action

    o.k. cool, I think I see now. (caution rude words perhaps ) To be really blunt, I have no problem with it being all about me as long as they realize that is the objective and they are looking for the same thing. I.e fuck buddies rather than lovers. I have females that:- I have sex with once and never again. (just not the right match up) I go from having sex with to making love, enjoying their delight and doing things just for them. I have long term friendships with, and make love with (there have been only a few of those) Its sort of like an evolution up a scale. The last one happens infrequently as it's not my goal at the start. If I throw in a generalization most people are looking for a loving relationship. That's not what I want. The long term life partner loving relationship roll is taken, unfortunatly sex is not part of her "job description" but it's also a stupid reason to sack someone So I'm not interested in "man traps" using sex to snare a relationship. I want sex, do you want sex, lets see if we hit it off (obviously not a pick up line ) But if you are cool, interesting, independent people, with similar interests and together long enough, that sort of loving relationship does tend to develop over time because their is no point having sex with someone that you don't like. Also once you have had enough sex with enough partners it does start to become pretty similar. Then making love "to" or eventually "with" someone becomes much more pleasurable. Hence the multi orgasm and tantric weirdness that most people can't be bothered to attempt.
  8. And that's why he will always be my captain But yes, a generation thing, the others were all just faint copies for me, perhaps I also like the less "pc" original. Give me Chekov, Sulu, Uhura, Scotty, McCoy, Spock and James T. any day........ Glad to hear the new movie does justice to the legend. Trek movies are a bit hit and miss

  10. Basically because almost everyone talks about it could be a nice contrast to the kunlun book too
  11. Ritual Cat

    Yes, everyone likes "The Claw" and he knows it! My favorite cat joke The Dog's Diary 8:00 am - Dog food! My favorite thing! 9:30 am - A car ride! My favorite thing! 9:40 am - A walk in the park! My favorite thing! 10:30 am - Got rubbed and petted! My favorite thing! 12:00 pm - Milk bones! My favorite thing! 1:00 pm - Played in the yard! My favorite thing! 3:00 pm - Wagged my tail! My favorite thing! 5:00 pm - Dinner! My favorite thing! 7:00 pm - Got to play ball! My favorite thing! 8:00 pm - Wow! Watched TV with the people! My favorite thing! 11:00 pm - Sleeping on the bed! My favorite thing! Cat Diary DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from shredding the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant and cough it up on the carpeting. DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair... must try this on their bed (again). DAY 762 - Slept all day so that I could annoy my captors with sleep depriving, incessant pleas for food at ungodly hours of the night. DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was ... Hmmm. Not working according to plan . DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid? My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth and the tiny bit of flesh under my claws. DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer." More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage. DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The Bird on the other hand has got to be an informant. He has mastered their frightful tongue (something akin to mole speak) and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time.
