  1. Passing the hat around for Gossamer

    Understand and agree with your position. But it's nice to talk again too (as you have probably guessed I love talking )
  2. Passing the hat around for Gossamer

    Mmmmm mmmm Mmmm Public discussion board. Take it to PM if you don't want input
  3. Yodisattva Vow

    Well I could ignore the smile and reply with "Perhaps. But I feel being nice to others, regardless of my own feelings, is the best path" vs "you @$%&ing **** what a load of $&%*" Which response generates the best conversations
  4. Sith Alchemy

    Perhaps that is why the Sith are a bit unbalanced A path that lends itself to facial deformities must surly be a warning sign
  5. Thanks I'm interested. I've brought a few of Bill books and I have found them to be very good. Do you think this one is worth $35? i.e How to Practice the White Skeleton Visualization Method $8.97 The Anapana Chi Conversations of Master Nan Huai-Chin and Peter Senge $20 The Insider's Guide to the World's Best and Worst Spiritual Paths and Practices $25 They were all easily worth buying How to Measure and Deepen Your Spiritual Realization ("Measuring Meditation")$97 A very good book. But overpriced for an ebook at $97 IMHO. <cut and paste from website edited to remove qualifiers that could sound like my own opinions>
  6. ?? I do my youtubes the way desert eagle described. Nice pictorial reference BTW.
  7. What is (romantic) love?

    If you like exploring these kinds of feelings try loving kindness meditation
  8. tooth regeneration

    A question to Drew about Garlic He doesn't (although IIRC apparently eating orderless garlic pills removed the smell of the preciously eaten real garlic)
  9. Passing the hat around for Gossamer

    Followed but another rant Why is David here? WHO CARES DUDE. This is a chance to try to fix things NOW. Let go of the past. Please. We love you and want to help you get on with your life. Please just try... (good luck Stig)
  10. Seems pretty quiet, perhaps we should have a look at Morality, The First and Last Training And see if that spices things up a bit
  11. new guy

  12. All a misunderstanding. I sometimes forget this is the world wide web.
  13. New Member Intro

    my partner and I have that problem all the time. The joys of a shared PC trying to be helpfull and remember passwords!
  14. KAP syllabus

    The 'bums just feels like home for me I already had a little journal to track of feelings and practice routines. The Kap one just grew from that. Plus Santi and Tony are here so it really "feels" like the K108 group just missing Margarita. When I think of our group, they are the people I feel connected with. I think a big advantage of a journal is your teacher can read what you are doing and give suggestions (Tao does not post here IIRC) Also while the personal practice section needs you to be a member to read them, anyone can join the 'bums so the facebook is more private, if that is important, or you wanted to record really specific routines. Becides I can't really post too much of what I'm doing on Facebooks K112. Much of it isn't KAP and I have some spoilers for the end of the movie But mostly I value the feedback I get here from my fellow 'bums.
  15. Wing Chun

    Congratulations. Happiness and long life to you both.
  16. I went looking for this one, since I'm also doing the Sarm Bo Pai Tarn form, but the video is no more
  17. KAP syllabus

    It might also take a few days Sean gets quite a few PM's and has mentioned the 'bums is getting a bit too big for him to keep his finger on the pulse.
  18. Newguy

  19. Passing the hat around for Gossamer

    Just for my own personal amusement. Would you like to state that you have not cursed him? or attempted something similar?
  20. Remove fluoride from water supply

    Plenty of tamarind trees here. I get my friends to collect them for me when they see some, love them. But I only eat them because they are tasty (disturbing photo btw they don't look tasty!)
