  1. What are you listening to?

    this should do it turn it up,,,,and fly
  2. Rank beginner: Tai Chi or Qigong?

    I would say you would be better off practicing some type of Qi Gong. The goal and purpose of the practice is very straightforward. This cannot be said of taiji which has been turned into a type of chi gong by modern practitioners. I say this only as an observation as a long time practitioner of the art Unless you have some clarity which a beginner or novice would not have. One will be constantly exposed to and confused by those who claim taiji as both. An example that is similar to taiji has the benefits of Qigong with some nice movement patterns I don't practice this myself my own life path was set a little different very long ago. I do know people who practice it and have met the teacher shown in the video. Hope it helps you to understand what you're looking for

  4. more information that provides a counter and good back drop to some of viewpoints expressed.
  5. Why Levitation is Real!

    Maybe that's death. In a spaceship now, it's called the body. It was built by others who also inhabit a body seeking to make a new one so another can inhabit it. The fly by some wait for could be thought of as death. A release for a new beginning. Or in some cases the end of an old beginning having reached its destination no need to go back. I'd be careful about wishing for a fly-by. We all get the chance only a matter of time.

    lets see if it works....I give it about an hr...would very much like to be wrong...
  7. Ignorelist and quoting

    Got it, as noted by the Bold type, thanks for the emphasis. Underlined too, I'm impressed. Looks like ya might want to consider what attachment means. As to student, your response indacates you already are. Your inner self seems to feel your in need. I'm sure it will find many other teachers here to help in this.
  8. Ignorelist and quoting

    good to hear your making progress. consider it gratis, a benefit of all the bums here helping each other. I dont use the outer ignore function. Nor do I ignore I practice non attachment and use the times I happen to feel attached to understand why this is so within my self....
  9. Ignorelist and quoting

    I do find it a little inconsistent on a site with so many professing to practice the inner way needing outer means beyond their control to regulate their inner state always asking for more outer control to do so. It would seem the best way would be to not be attached while still retaining awareness something that many often speak of but find hard to do,,because . It is hard Which is the point of most practices finding out why, this is so. The what makes it so, and how to deal with it... people talk of being daoist leaving this site and yet. "True goodness is like water, in that it benefits everything and harms nothing. Like water it ever seeks the lowest place, the place that all others avoid. It is closely kin to the Dao" Those that people choose to ignore are often the ones able to provide the most inner growth by responding to those who have ignored one, ie quoting them one is actually helping them by reminding them their ignoring something artificially because they'er too attached to it. Not understanding the inner way they will always seek the outer way asking for more options outside themselves missing the unlimited options within.
  10. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    He probably wouldn't go over to well in this day and age....what happened to the US.
  11. The Current Atmosphere

    a little off topic...how do you know if you truly have free will. How would you prove it to yourself or anyone else?
  12. The Current Atmosphere

    a relative new comer. Actually I find the opposite, its through disagreement that we become more effective in understanding ourselves and others. The motive for disagreement can come from within or with out. Being able to understand this while still expressing a view point is IMO a good growth experience. The site has its own vibe with unique people possessing and sharing a wealth of information not commonly found or shared openly.

  19. Middle Class Daoism : Bagua vs MMA

    you might try reading this to understand Who, when, why and how the art changed. Posted some of what I felt were main points in answer to some of your questions and some other post, posted here. Each can read and come to their own conclusion..... For me it seems pretty clear what happened, why and how.
