Re: ----- "Does man have a greater capacity than "man's nature"?" ----- Yes. "Man's nature" is determined by, and "Man" is a manifestation of, the total environment. Which is much bigger than modern idea of "Man". Wherein "Man" is a thing, and things are static, and have a set "nature". Which is "bullshit". -VonKrankenhaus

YinYang thinking was common in ancient time. Chess board is YinYang. Cross is YinYang. It is a tool that uses unified bifurcation to grow consciousness. The way fractals grow. For example, we could see a table. We can take it apart and examine with our mind that ONE table has UpDown, LeftRight, TopBottom, InsideOutside, etc, etc. We never lose sight that it is one table, but we see aspects that define in a relative way. We can use YinYang to see energy, and also physical structure - ExpandingContracting, etc, or ExpandedContracted, etc. YinYang is also traditionally known as a study of change and movement. All things are changing. Nothing is all yin or all yang - always both. -VonKrankenhaus

Re: ----- "If you do dealt want to do his stuff, learn some good taoist meditation too. Some martial arts practice wouldnt hurt either." ----- That's interesting. Because in my recent review of several of Mantak Chia books, these things also seemed obvious to me. That he didn't really have a heavy gongfu or taoist background, per se. So, even in the photos, I see that some parts of postures look different than when gongfu trained people do them, etc. But I have no bad or good opinion of him, and his books and materials would certainly provide thinking material for people new to the subject, and are very comprehensive in their own way. In terms of learn from books and video, I feel that the most important point is for someone involved to understand the basic principles of whatever is being learned. This is not always clear in books or videos, for various reasons. -VonKrankenhaus

Re: ----- "You´ve got a point, but only if you consider sex to be unprotected heterosexual intercourse. Bill Clinton´s opinions notwithstanding, that´s hardly the only way to do it." ----- We are done with the population uptick at present. The issue was disconnecting the postwar population boom from their offspring. Again, to stunt families, primal ownerships, and inheritances. So they started casting hunky male characters with homosexuals - Rock Hudson, Montgomery Clift, etc, etc.. Then developing fully homosexual characters. And then fully homosexual celebrities. This took 50 years to accomplish. But people certainly took it up. The point is, ALL of this is just population management and exploitation. NONE of it are "naturally occuring events". -VonKrankenhaus

It is obvious that sex is promoted in a certain way, while the family has been un-promoted. Isn't that strange? This means building lots and lots of people. But very few actual families. More like collections of individuals. Who could benefit from such an unnatural circumstance? -VonKrankenhaus

Tobacco is traditionally used for "purification". Someone new comes to a settlement, and people take them into a small area and smoking tobacco. Tobacco kills microbes and repels insects. After some time, new person is "fumigated" and allowed into settlement. Shamans say they see "tobacco worm" or "tobacco snake" in visions. This worm or snake loves tobacco they say. They are smoking leaves with tobacco worm eggs on them. -VonKrankenhaus

Re: ----- "Interesting although you got the incisor thing the wrong way round!" ----- Not so. What I got reversed was that I wrote "incisor" when I meant to write "canine". Here's what I wrote: "Human has very tiny incisors, and flat molars." "Dog has huge incisors and molars are not flat." - meant to write "canines". -VonOopsHaus

The thing that made a difference to me personally was attaining a deeper perception into this issue than ideas like "vegetarian" or "meat-eater" were designed to contain. There is no human tradition of total vegetarianism to be found anywhere on Earth above 40 degrees latitude. All major religions came from much nearer to the equator. See what can be made of that. Teeth of the human being are evidence of what has been eaten during evolution. Human has very tiny canines, and flat molars. Dog has huge canines and molars are not flat. And entire digestive system is also evidence. Plant-eater animal has alkaline saliva. Meat-eater animal has acid saliva. Human has alkaline saliva. And so forth. All of this is worth studying, because terms like "vegetarian" are just empty designations from a fake culture. -VonKrankenhaus (edited to correct "canines")

Silence persisted until there were ears. Spirit is just expanded matter. And matter is just condensed spirit. -VonKrankenhaus

Re: ----- "We are not carnivorous, we are omnivorous. Like gorillas, chimps, dogs, pigs... we can eat all sorts, and indeed it is our very capacity for being adaptive that made us so successful, that enabled us to spread across the world from African plains to deserts to forests and jungles and mountains and lands of ice and snow..." ----- Human being is "omnivorous". But that is a generality. In fact, there are many differences between human being and, for example, a dog. Dog saliva is acid, like all meat-eaters. Human saliva is alkaline, which is more for plant digestion. Dog digestive tract is short, for passing rotting flesh quickly. Human digestive tract is much longer, which is also more for plant digestion. Many other differences exist - even tooth shapes. Shape and type of teeth are good evidence of what was eaten in the past. Dog barely chews, but rips and tears. Human has incisors smaller than any real carnivore. And flatter teeth generally - for grinding. Human doesn't just chew "up and down", but actually can grind jaw around in circle horizontally while chewing - for seeds, grains, etc. But human being is not the same with plants as cows. Cows, goats, etc, have multiple stomachs and long digestion - for grasses that are very contracted and scrubby. But not so much just the seeds of grasses. -VonKrankenhaus

These thing are quite relative. Depending on how one is living. Generally, menstruation is a way female has of keeping YinYang "balance". Excess yang factors (blood, minerals, proteins) are discharged downward. Allowing female to remain relatively more yin. Menopause is a transition of growth whereafter the female becomes more dry, more contracted, and less yin. There are many distinctions we can make about qi - types of qi. So the older woman is transitioning to processing environment energies differently from youth. A different stage of "reproduction" that becoming more spiritual. Post-menopause woman is usually becoming more focussed on wider attention and issues than in youth. Becoming more social, beyond one family, and then"philosophical" and ultimately spiritual scope of concern. Normal human development. This qi processing difference is facilitating this. All qi is coming from the environment and interaction with environment. But our growth and development is always changing in terms of processing it. -VonKrankenhaus

Use it or lose it. and They say that if you want to walk when you are old, walk when you are young. If you think, or feel, that you "lost" qi "from childhood", then perhaps look into diet and lifestyle aspects first. -VonKrankenhaus

The "secret" of this is in the realm of gasses. -VonKrankenhaus

The "thought police" actually run the schools and media. They designed most homes. They designed most municipalities. They designed an entire fake "culture". Because modern "civilization" is a calculated fantasy. And modern "progress" is a calculated fantasy. And the bigger the lie, the more work to make it seem true. The little thought polices are there to help make the big ones less visible. -VonKrankenhaus

The thing is that people who have not studied and trained in traditional, or at least, some fairly complete manner - can be impressed by this stuff in ways that can obscure true development of their subsequent or eventual trainings. And people who have studied and trained extensively can find them off-point and unnecessary. One question arises: What is it that people would like to achieve using "magic mushrooms or similar plants"? Qi cultivation? Psychic experiences? Random experiences? -VonKrankenhaus

Humanity is the descendent of plants. Vegetal life preceeded animal life. In my opinion, the use of strong psychedelic plants in cultivation is too severe and too complicating for most people. People impressed by the profound effect of strong substances are actually showing this. And some will add so much level of difficulty with this that important true and subtle results are missed. The place to start with this concept is actually "food". Master that completely before launching into so strong "psychedelics". -VonKrankenhaus

The reason Russel is talking about God. He understands that Gravity and Magnetism is YinYang. Which means gravity is not physical, but an interaction, movement, change. This cannot be held up in hand, nor seen with device. Only effects on physical things are observed as "thing". -VonKrankenhaus

Re: ----- "You might also appreciate the science of Walter Russell, but perhaps ignore the religious stuff as that might not settle too well with you." ----- Thank you for bringing him up. I am researching all day his writing today and yesterday. I see that from early on he was adapting Taoist thought with western science. He is just using different words. -VonKrankenhaus

Re: ----- "Actually, the expanding Earth idea makes a lot of sense if you're open to the idea of an electrical universe. It's one of those theories I don't go around openly talking about, but looks like it has a good chance of being right." ----- There are some things missing in the theory as I have recently encounter it. It is assumed that Earth, to expand, would have to add material. But let's say we have a rubber ball at room temperture, and we heat it with a hair dryer. It will expand without adding matter. This is like what happens when Mars core heat up. Mars heats up as/when it moves to a closer position to the Sun - about 1.5 billion years from now. And also heating up if Sun output increases. Further from Sun we see other phenomena. Gas giant planet Jupiter will move through asteroid belt and have gas smashed off and core pounded into iron ball. And moons busted up - this is what is in that belt. It will come out looking like Mars. Transmutation of elements also happens. Because periodic table is actually a spiral showing change. -VonKrankenhaus

Re: ----- "Walter Russel fan?" ----- Had not heard of him. Perhaps we are merely looking at the same universe? From Wikipedia: "From the debate with scientists came a tag-line for the Russell Cosmogony, the "Two-Way Universe" of gravitation and radiation. "Gravity and radiativity are opposite pressure conditions. They perpetually void themselves by giving to the other." Is basically Taoist-esque. He is seeing YinYang physically as contraction and expansion. My realizations about the solar system and evolution came to me around 1969 in a small library surrounded with books and notes. But I realize that there was a period in time where some western people were close to these ideas in the 1920s. You may also find some similarity, as I recently did, with the "expanding earth" theory - which I see as just an incomplete sort of version of these ideas that seem easy to "debunk" for scientists and public. -VonKrankenhaus

Re: ----- "But it seems to me that this planet, having the perfect constitution for nourishing life, is as perfect as any other place in the universe for the conception of it. Why assume that it came from elsewhere?" ----- Life is everywhere. Life will probably be found in some form throughout space. There are microbes that can survive in a dormant dessicate state for hundreds of millions of years. These are floating freely through space. Moving on comets and meteorites. And growing on planets that are in "habitable zones" of their systems. Pond scum is "Life". In the early Earth, the only star visible was the Sun. Air was full of water vapor. Only life then was single cell organism. As air cleared, more stars became visible. Then organisms collecting into systems. Now we have many stars visible. And correspondingly complex assemblages of those single cells. -VonKrankenhaus

Re: ----- "Squash the continents together and Earth is the same size as Mars ?" ----- In fact, the total surface area of the Mars is just about the same size as all of the land on the Earth. -VonKrankenhaus

Re: ----- "That is not true. Life happens on Earth because Earth has a molten iron core that rotates producing eddy currents. These eddy currents produce the magnetic field which is different than the gravitational field." ----- Mars has an iron core. That core will heat up when Mars enters the "sweet spot" in the solar system. Which is about where Earth is now. At that time, approximately 1.5 billion years, Mars will start expanding. And will attain all characteristics of Earth now. If you contract the Earth until all continents meet, what you have is a ball about the size of Mars now. -VonKrankenhaus

Re: ----- "It is possible, of course, that higher-dimensional beings (angels and/or extraterrestrials that have evolved to high levels) played a role in the evolution of our ape-like ancestors toward the universal form of the human being." ----- It may be that life as advanced or more than us was on Venus. And like we are planning to do now with Mars, maybe they went to the Earth. This would be about a billion years ago. Do you not think that current or near-future humans will bioengineer the existing life on Mars when they go there? Life will happen on Mars when it gets close enough to the Sun like Earth is now. The core will heat up. Water will flow out to the surface. Plate techtonics will begin. -VonKrankenhaus

Re: ----- "I can't accept the Venus thing though. I haven't seen anything that would suggest there ever was life" ----- The surface has been razed by eruptions and heat. Even on Earth, there is only so old that we can see crust samples, because of plate techtonics. The ground just keeps moving and recycling. -VonKrankenhaus
