Well, then at least you can then get incubus (+) ... then when you get to your destination you can get outubus (-). .

We have a corner , two bridges down from my place ; a small crest , a sharp turn onto an old wooden bridge , but the turn is banked the wrong way and off the edge is a nice little concrete 'ramp' ( erosion control ) into a deep pool in the river . Many a car I have seen in there over the years , Especially after one of our festivals or a Saturday night 'Castle Party ' ( someone had built a 'castle' further up the valley that had a rather notorious oparty reputation ) . One time, after a festival , I was driving along , early , and here was a band's sound truck, fully laden all their instruments and sound gear , half submerged ! Ouch ! Why doesn't someone put up a sign ? Because we dont have signs on our road . Worse, at the beginning of the road is this sign ; and nearly everyone thinks it means there is no speed limit .... that must mean I can go as fast as I want ! Ummm no ... it means there are no posted speed limits , advisory corner speeds or any road signs ahead .... not even ' warning sharp corner ' or 'Dangerous bridge ! ' signs .

They should ....

There you go making ' inverted affirmations' again . Oh look ; Congratulations + / Supremely Bonkers - ( The best part of this thread ; succubus - and succubi + ; a single one is a negative but many of them are a positive -- and if you dont understand Yang the polarity of a succubus is an incubus . )

After this ^ 'masterpiece' of a post I dont think I have to respond anymore ... you yourself are pointing out how ridiculous and unbalanced your 'system' is .. . all by yourself . Carry on .

The first part of what you said is entirely valid and relates to grounding physically and regarding 'motor skills' . I have even posted here that is how 'chi' works ( gravity base , and 'alignment ' ) .... its a 'belief system' that allows us to 'get all that in order ' ; that is if I try to align and do everything correctly , its too much and does not work .... BUT if I imagine I am using the four principles (and one is 'extend ki' ) ... it works . but that met with a LOT of disfavor here . Wasting money ? Books ? try it yourself ... thats the way through . You might have noticed I do not reject science ... I am a 'neo-hermeticist ' which means I embrace both worlds ... and they are just two of the ways to view and understand it . Here is something to chew on ; science accepts placebos can work ..... interesting A GROUP of people see something science cannot explain ? 'Group hallucination ' .... really ? Something that can influence something else apart from it by no influential connection ? Nah ! That used to be poo-pooed as 'magic' ... now we call it 'quantum entanglement '

I have several practices ; trying to image the relative sizes of myself sitting on the earth and its size . The same with 'VITRIOL' practice ... which is more than a practice ... its a 'premise' : Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem which translates into “Visit the interior of the earth, and by rectifying what you find there, you will discover the hidden stone (philosopher’s stone)”. I have another one where I visualize according to other learning ( 'scientific' ) eg; Scientists may have finally found the cause of a mysterious, crystal-forming layer that surrounds Earth's core — "leaking water" that trickles down from Earth's surface and reacts with our planet's metallic heart. https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/geology/water-leaking-into-earths-core-may-have-birthed-a-mysterious-layer-that-churns-out-crystals A good 'firm' magical principle : O. Learn first --- Oh thou who aspirest unto our ancient Order! --- that Equilibrium is the basis of the Work. If thou thyself hast not a sure foundation, whereon wilt thou stand to direct the forces of Nature?

or the other way around ? Dao - 0 gave birth to 1 - 'God' (or 'Monism ' ) and 'gave forth' 2 - duality ( yin and yang, or if into deitic manifestations of energies - God and Goddess (or 'pairs ' - eg in some Egyptian philosophies ; two frogs ) then came the 'triangle' - 'surface' out of the 'line' , that came out of the point . All these are 'ideal ' energy (non material ) but their interaction gives rise to the 10,000 ( 000,000 000,000,000, etc , ) 'things' of material existence . ( Ch 42 )

I have read some papers on why this might be so (from an historical sociological perspective ) , there are a lot of dynamics at work . here is an example of what I mean with using the bible; Kurt Vonnegut (once 'America's greatest living writer ' ) wrote about story plots . He plotted graphs and lines ; x axis time, y axis good or bad fortune . Now this green line : 'Cinderella ' is supposedly the most popular plot line , we all relate to it and hope thats the way things are / will work out . A series of steps and hard work and we climb up , all of our efforts lead to boon and reward , but then disaster ! We fall, pick ourselves up and then whoosh , something happens beyond our dreams and makes everything better than before ! Hooray ! Point being , the Bible and Jesus story are an exact fit in that plot . The end though ? Well, story still going .... that end bit is Christ's return (or the "new Jerusalem " or the original Zoroastrian concept of Frashokereti - 'final renovation' of the world ) - with Christianity , we have to see what was going at the times of its expanse , what forces where at work in the world during those times to fully understand why it took off as it did . However most of that exists under the cover of the religious satisfaction it gives many , they have their own 'personal reasons' ... not the reasons that historians and social anthropologists see in mass movements of people towards things . .

Wow this guy knows more about existence than anyone on earth HEY DAOBUMS gather around ... the wisest guy on earth has decided to grace Daobums with his presence ! Daobums : " Not another one ! "

bad choice .... this vid shows people climbing up a tunnel out of a solid earth , not people living below a surface in an open space . Also, shame on you using such a tradition that teachers this story as a way of creating respect for the earth in us (my indigenous tradition does the same ) and trying to use it to your own ends to build up some fantasy and outdated beliefs you hold . That's disrespect to the Earth and the indigenous ! And this is exactly why they only give out 'kindergarten teaching' until you can prove yourself .

You go down to the core of the Earth ? Interesting , I have similar meditiations , we could have an interesting conversation about that . Do you do the opposite .... ie 'out' ( into the cosmos ) ? Yep . This probably looks messy , half the replies inserted and bolded and others like this one , separate <shrug> I can only do what computer / site allows me to .

I thought he ..... went to 'the great forum in the sky' ..... the ' Happy (student ) Hunting Ground ' .

( I do want to be shown the world on a magic carpet ..... I just wondered if my response would would make you crash )

Welcome to the 1700 s ; The Hollow Earth is a concept proposing that the planet Earth is entirely hollow or contains a substantial interior space. Notably suggested by Edmond Halley in the late 17th century, the notion was disproven, first tentatively by Pierre Bouguer in 1740, then definitively by Charles Hutton in his Schiehallion experiment around 1774. I luv it when the religious ' trump me ' and 'win' by observing I shall go to hell after I die ( Hey .... nowadays being 'trumped' by someone has an extra new meaning ! ) So thats my tail ! Women dont get tails ? maybe they do ; ' I got me a nice piece of tail last night ' ' k . Are you saying a morning boner is because that organ is the Sun and the Sun 'rises' each morning ? ... and that then transfers to my morning boner ? 'Interesting' theory you got there . No ..... In all my years I have never encountered sex , nor have I ever seen it performed by humans or any other species . Jackflappery . I have never used that word before ( I been saving it up for something special ) .

tripper

The 'central Sun of Inner earth eh ? Is that why you think it is hot down there ?

next time I am walking , I shall observe what my tail does .

Years back , on a ;training road trip' visiting instructors around the country , in one place a group of us went out and I noticed one guy had 'moccasins' on - not traditional ones, those old fashioned lame 'fashion moccasins ' of the 70s Me ; " Moccasins ! Where did they come from ?" Him ; " They are steel capped inside " steel capped moccasins .... comfortable and deadly (our style uses big toe kick a lot ) T. M. , you want some comfy natural shoes , come to my local town and see Bruce ; https://awlleather.com.au/products/ Viking, Saxon, even Macedonian legging boots

....... or ......

Nah . Does that not depend on WHAT one practices . or did Lukks outline his practice and I missed it .

I prefer to practice outdoors on the earth any day ( or night ) . Any feeling of 'electric' or 'chi' to me is way down the lists of benefits from training outdoors . There are MANY of them .

Sort of . Take this passage for example; Budō is a compound of the root bu (武:ぶ; wǔ in Chinese), meaning "war" or "martial"; and dō (道:どう; dào in Chinese), incorporating the character above for head and below for foot, meaning the unification of mind and body "path" or "way"[4] (including the ancient Indic Dharmic and Buddhist conception of "path", or mārga in Sanskrit[5]). Budō is the idea of formulating propositions, subjecting them to philosophical critique and then following a "path" to realize them.[6] Dō signifies a "way of life". Dō in the Japanese context is an experiential term in the sense that practice (the way of life) is the norm to verify the validity of the discipline cultivated through a given art form. Modern budō has no external enemy, only the internal one: the ego that must be fought.[7] Or " Aikido is a budo to harmonise the individual with the Universal Principle and to concord among all peoples. " or even " Aikido means 'the Way of Harmonising the Body and Universal Spirit' but in a deeper sense it also means loving the world and all who live in it. " https://www.aikido.org.au/What-is-Aikido What is this principle ? " “Aikido has but one principle—the universal reality of life. In their own nature as living human beings all possess the basic secret of Aikido. The purpose of Aikido is to better people’s lives, to make their spirits blossom and become strong, and by making better people to make a better world. Aikido exists in this principle and this purpose, not in the style of movement or the technical details through which Aikido is taught. If the principle and the purpose are present, any technique can be Aikido. If they are absent, so is Aikido.” Mitsugi Saotome – The Principles of Aikido Manchurian invasion. here is an interview with him, May 27, 1956 in the weekly supplement of the Yomiuri newspaper (週刊読売, Shukan Yomiuri ; The Essence of budo Reporter : Is there sword in Aiki? Ueshiba : Yes, there is. The sword is the opposing mirrors12 of Heaven and Earth. It represents an act of celebration. Now you’re loosing me! (laughs) I personally think that a sword is nothing but a murderous weapon. Therefore, I feel sympathy only towards those who look at blades realistically and realize how foolish they are. The sword is dangerous. One shouldn’t play with dangerous things. Think of the world for once. The world is a site of religious worship given to us. Therefore, we worship the path of Heaven and apply the rules of Heaven to the Earth, and conduct the affairs of state according to the way of harmony. There is no war in Heaven, is there? For tens of thousands of years we have been getting along well with each other. If the Earth is ours, let’s celebrate its beauty and get along well with each other. The sword can’t be used for getting along. I have a feeling that we will fare better if we make friends without it. ... Japan has become what it is because we have engaged in this type of practice that leads to defeat14. So we have to practice in such a way that will lead to victory. Practice which leads to victory is correct practice. That’s what we should do together. ... You are thinking of the Emperor as he was before the war22… I can’t say that exactly. ... In Aikido, we never hit the sword of the opponent. All we have to do is raise two fingers and help him. It’s a very thoughtful budo, isn’t it? That’s the spirit of Japan. If we keep the past’s competitive spirit, we will continue to kill people and loose our soul.
