  1. Didn't hear anything about babies being chipped here, don't think people would go along with it either. But: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/feb/6/swedish-offices-implant-employees-with-microchips-/ and I don't think that's a hoax ( though I would be happy if it is) and I do not like it at all, bad precedent

  3. Conceptual Virtue question, Teaching vs Healing

    well, i think I can agree with both viewpoints about intention Intention, as I see it, is always an activity of the ego. When you're a healer, being intentional will get in the way of being able to heal, i think.... ( there's more to it, but i can't find words for it, yet) I'm trying to selfheal, doing qigong, I find the less intention I have, the more I can let the process do it's thing, the quieter the mind is, the faster the healing goes. I suppose, healing others is the same only more so But for making a shoppinglist, deciding where and when i'll go camping this year, whether or not to make a visit I ( usually) use my intention yeah, right. Of course that is so, it sums up to making choices and trying to choose those things that are healthy or good or whatever eh, I do have several friends doing karate/judo and they all tell me it's about cultivating body and mind. Not about beating someone up. Only to be used defensively outside the dojo. But I get your point agreed well, when you make the choice for healing and/or teaching, imo it's certainly more virtuous than getting money and bitches. And there I find I come to the same answer, not because of vrtue but of functionality. The combination is best because more functional. But that's my opinion. And sometimes you need to grow into things to find what road you will tread beautiful insight, only teaching may stunt your own growth

    I know, just teasing back, seeing how you write about women
  5. To The Naysayers...

    it's a process, not a switch
  6. What does "Qi cultivation" mean to you?

    Can't add anything to that, just like my experience. But I admit that I'm curious what will happen when the worst blockages are cleared...
  7. decalcifying the pineal, etc.

    Thank you gentlemen, you bring up interesting things even though not the answer to my question, that being: which foods/herbs can be helpful in decalcifying the pineal gland. that being the topic of this thread wow, I didn't know that, but it sounds perfectly logic. I never used any alu for foodstuffs, kind of mistrust, just as with those non stick surfaces in bakingpans if you had done that I would not have taken you serious anymore interesting do you have statistics to back that up or is it a ' hunch' ? I do have liver and galbladder trouble but I'm not restricting on fats, regular medicin advised that but I do better on the above mentioned diet. And I need the fat or I would become thin instead of slender. And it is a proteincraving, it's like, qigong clears things in my body, then i become very tired for a few weeks and have to drink much water, removing wasteproducts. After that period i get this proteincraving. Feels a bit like being pregnant, i tentatively conclude that my body is rebuilding itself slowly. I know that, but my lifestyle and that of my elder sister should be enough, we're both active and sunloving women. Since I'm having severe fatigue I'm not able to do much, therefore I supplement with both vit D and calcium thank you, I didn't know that. Sounds logical though. But for now I will go on taking it. I'm not enough outside, liver is getting better but getting well will take more time. thanks i a few years i'll try fish, but not yet. I take supplement too, in the recommended doses, for now that seems the best way, it's a precarious balance. Going out twice a day is still to much for me, but the days I can i do Grin...my BMI is about 20 and I need to eat 4 times a day and take good care to keep it at that. I find about the same thing, bodyawareness is growing, but it'll take some more time, years probably. But the body is still warm so i'm happy, good wishes for you both
  8. To The Naysayers...

    see, life starts at 50, I'm 51 :-) from the same website: We attack these creatures that drain us Of our energy and time, but now I can see That it is not worth a drop of breath To engage these creatures I rather look at the sunset It looks quite beautiful today

    that's a concise description of the way my qigong teacher acts

    yeah, those things mostly come together, in males....

    you're cute...sometimes
  12. decalcifying the pineal, etc.

    I wonder about you're mentioning of ascorbic acid, I think that's vitamin C? or am i wrong. Could you give some information about which food or maybe which herbs are good? Due to illness I started a diet about two years ago. ( even though my diet before that time was good compared what I see other people eating). By now my digestion is such that i can slowly introduce new elements, i'd better choose those who are good for me. My diet now is mostly veggies, fruit, beans etc. nuts, oats, speltbread, brown rice, cheese and eggs. No milk. sugar or alcohol. I use tapwater which is neither fluoridated nor chlorinated. Can't do better on that. i supplement with some vitamins and minerals. Sometimes I have craving for protein, then I take pills consisting of essential aminoacids, my body is not able to digest meat or soy so familydoctor described them for me. At the moment I wonder whether or not to take calcium as a supplement. Body is still very weak, i went into menopause awfully young and both mother and eldest sister have osteoporosis. But I'm having doubts about it, would like to hear your opinion, BES
  13. as a new member I was surprised about these stars in my profile, not daoist at all imho. I use the like button when i really get something out of a comment, or when it is an answer to a question of mine, or when it makes me laugh, feel it's beautiful, some such. If you want to have something like stars and dislikes i would indeed use the already present like button and maybe a change to see how many people ignore your posts...But I'm not for it to be honest. It's all egoplay

    thought does make it so, why don't you leave the thinking, return to stillness
  15. Conceptual Virtue question, Teaching vs Healing

    Honorably and humbly, always....thank you There shouldn't be talk about 'higher', not ever
  16. Conceptual Virtue question, Teaching vs Healing

    I agree, every coin has a rim, some coins are thicker than others. And some people just heal you by looking at you, listening, making tea... But I didn't say that teaching how to heal yourself is the highest goal. I said that healing and teaching should be balanced ( or harmonized ). Seems to me that is both for the student and the teacher the most balanced way ( or something...)
  17. The polarizing fronts of egotism vs. altruism

    when I read someone writing about soulcrushing pain, i conclude that the matter is not only to have a dialogue about general issues . reading the comments I was not the only one. I asked you to delete this offending talk, I do so again. Doesn't interest me if you find that political correctness, i believe there's rules here that ask of us to keep a civil tongue in our heads What you write on that page is mostly nonsense, I've worked for years with autistic people. It's not a personality disorder. For many of them it's a hard and irreversible disorder that they have to carry with them all their lives. I have deep respect for my clients. Using the name of their handicap as a denigratory label is inexcusable. Of course there are two parties to the story, always is... Life sucks, and will go on sucking. When you get yourself worked up about it you make it worse, for yourself. That's what you're doing, i quitted that, happily. Life still sucks, but I will not let myself get worked up by it anymore (mostly, it's a process, not a switch). Yes, you feel insulted, but reading those posts I don't see it. What I do see is that by generalizing your own problems to a societal problem ( which it is, you're right in that) you try to get more attention for your own problem. I already commented on this, the OP had clear personal tone and you went along with the responses I would I could help you, for i do feel empathy, even though you can't believe that. But, sadly, I can't. BES
  18. The polarizing fronts of egotism vs. altruism

    I have read this thread and part of the external link but didn't comment beacause my opinion on this is already clearly formulated. Seems to me that the original poster is outstepping forum rules by offending people who tried to help him. Above quote I find offensive on behalf of several autistic persons i know personally. I ask Owledge to delete this and the other offensive remarks. About the topic itself, Owledge, i've been where you are now, for many long years. And I do know how it feels. The advice you got is good but it is your's to take it or leave it. I think what I see above is a repetition of a pattern that you're going trough, people sincerely try to help you and you reject them. Step out of it, and I for one know how hard that is, wish you the best, BES
  19. Conceptual Virtue question, Teaching vs Healing

    I would say they are two sides of the same coin. Healing consist of both helping someone clearing (a) blockage(s) they can't clear themselves and teaching them how to heal their body's by themselves. If a healer doesn't teach he's carrying water to the sea.

  21. I'm a Gong Freak and I admit it

    gives me an idea where in germany you live dutch is about the same word: klank instead of klang, and i don't know a better translation but sound doesn't give the right feeling. In dutch singing bowls are translated as klank schalen for me, the sound of such a big gong, especially such a beautiful one, i imagine that is what you'd hear when a very large tree is singing. congrats and enjoy!
  22. Pre-Heaven Qi, lost forever?

    Both, darkness training didn't ring a bell with me at first, but I do remember that when I was younger I had a very good nightsight and looking back, that nightsight left me about the same time that 'seeing' other things left me. so it does interest me. Looking forward to your post.
  23. Pre-Heaven Qi, lost forever?

    I would like to know more of this than the broad outline you give here. Could you please give some more details of what in your opinion would be good for decalcifying, and which influences promote the calcifying? happily I live in a country where water is not fluoridized ( thanks to ONE familydoctor who has made himself a real pain in the ass for people who were all for it ) ------------------ we're going off topic maybe this thread can be split
  24. ah, now I understand why my ( chinese) teacher calls taichi taiji, and, the way he says Dao, it's somewhere between D and T I grew up with Peking, now it's Beijing. My name is unpronounceable for native English speakers, I forgive them beforehand and feed them a name they can pronounce. ( and when they still want to try we both have a good laugh ) But I will never let my name be misspelled, so I'm fine with pinyin
