  3. Sexual Alchemy

    Sorry missed you in the flood, it is one of our favorite topics I'll plug Dr Lin again http://www.precisiondocs.com/~altaoism/HLLinsLinks.htm very effective, although I tend to use it as a physical method rather than alchemy as such. The first method that I could actually get to "work" for me. The Jack Johnson review is comming soon http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?showto...hl=jack+johnson Personally I'm waiting to read Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality Charles Luk (Gets a lot of good reviews here) Art of the Bedchamber: The Chinese Sexual Yoga Classics Including Women's Solo Meditation Texts Douglas Wile (classical rexts looks very intresting) Would not say I practive sexual alchemy, but I am intrested in it.

    Charles Luk's Taoist Yoga is still in the mail, should only be another 7~10 days
  5. Meditation and Sleep

    Thanks reminded me of this (wasn't even a member then ) http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?showto...p;hl=sleep+time Nothing lucid yet, but that would be nice to experience again. Dreams do seem better after meditation, I can even get them by falling into a 20 min nap after, usually a 20 min nap would be dreamless for me.
  6. Tao Bums Forum - Growth and development

    I've current got 2 pages of new posts to read and threads everywhere. Are things really so bad after all? The tag idea sounds interesting. You could sort of make things into a dynamic list structure, weave across numerous threads. Although I like reading everyones reply. But when it gets busy I have to cut back on threads, I'm sure I've got something I should be reading right now in another tab
  7. A man dies

    Certainly a better tradition than ours where we don't talk about Death in "polite conversation" and end up in a sterile white room with people we don't know. I also want to talk about Death, but don't know what to say. The one I have trouble with is not so much thinking about it . But the realization that someday I will experience breathing my last breath and it will be as real as "now" feels. And my ego freaks and goes "What will happen to me, help, help save me, save ME." I try to feel these things. But the ego wasn't there before we were born so I don't think it survives after death, "we" do, but I don't think it does. Hence the fear.
  8. Is KunLun Bogus?

    I like the road analogy, its great for showing why we can't agree with Buddy, we just have different beliefs, no problem. If I want to go to Boston, but I take the road to NYC. Why is it the "wrong" road? I can turn around and still go to Boston. But perhaps I'll find out I only thought I wanted to go to Boston, and really should have been in NYC, or perhaps I should not have traveled at all
  9. Meditation and Sleep

    Thats the bit I worry about. I'm getting good 90 min sleep cycles in 4hrs Meditate 3 hrs , but is there enough to physically repair the body and recover for the comming day? I guess the best would be to perhaps not do this every night but on weekends where I could sleep in. Take it slow. Or only do it if I feel like it after waking up naturally. That could be the best, when I was trying to get up I was just turning the alarm off. The first time I actually gave it a go I was already awake at 2:50 eagerly waiting That would be nice, except I'd want to sleep till 2pm I remember back in the 90'ssomeone was sleeping 4hrs 2x a day and claiming that was working well, but I'm not sure how it actually turned out.
  10. Retention Thread

    I take this to mean work with what is happening for you already, focusing on how you feel. Rather than focusing on an external goal as such (like 100 days) e.g. The way my life is at the moment (@ 34) an EJ once or twice a week feels "normal" but when I was 18 once a day would be, "elmost enough" If I went back in time and told myself at 18 that once a week would be enough. I would still be laughing at myself
  11. Vibrating Dan Tian

    Hi WYG, Nice to see your questions again.
  12. Lets not attack Starjumper just because he may have annoyed people in another thread. AFAIK he just wrote this is my teacher and it's a great practice.
  13. Is KunLun Bogus?

    It's all good, and it's stumps on day 5. Time to go buy everyone (including Ganguly ) a drink and talk about the great series we just had. Well played India. Goodbye Gilly.
  14. Is KunLun Bogus?

    You know someone told me about a web site that said Max was a lawyer. And he got his law degree from these weird university's. I reckon he is chasing ambulances, lets get him. EDIT Prefer if Sifu Stigweard was the last post, but What a catch Hados WOW
  15. Is KunLun Bogus?

    hehehe, true. I only hate INDIA because they are the only team in the world that can stop our 16 & 17 match winning streaks. Bastards are going to keep us out here too. Hope Dravid's finger is ok. I like the Wall, and there were some great shots by Tendulkar will miss him a lot. But the game isn't finish yet so I still want to punch Ganguly
  16. Is KunLun Bogus?

    hahhaha, yes Warnie would be nice to have right now. Hang on, Ganguly is out hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha Speaking of anger I would so love to punch Ganguly in the teeth. Really hard. Repeatably. Along with INDIA's 12th man. I just can't let that feeling go till the game is over.
  17. Is KunLun Bogus?

    Tendulkar just ran himself out hahahah (I will miss watching him, great batsman) Now we just have to get Sehwag out AGAIN after Clark dropped him last yesterday Plus a heap of others, come on Aus
