In the morning the bird songs wakes me from dreams. During the day I tend to needs In the evening I watch the birds fly home to roost During the night I'am wrapped in darkness and stars By becoming no thing,I can become all things. To the tao bums who brought Kunlun to light I send a thankyou on a warm wind.

I have found the getting is in the giving not in the wanting

Friend the real talent lies in not wanting

Once again Karen thank you sincerely for taking the time to write your post.Narayan Singh observations that you quoted left me gobbed smacked to say the least.Spot spot on.I had a long look at the heilkunst site and was pleased to see it is in Ontario, my old stomping ground,I live in Australia now.I agree that MS is a modern western disease, this I believe is a very important consideration in regards to treatment.I will discuss what you have written with my partener and let her decide if this could be viable treatment option for her.Peace to you

Dear Karen, Thanks for your indepth reply to my question.I can't begin to describe or bore you with how much of what you presented in your post has been in my thoughts.Particularly in regards to the souls need to evolve through affliction or disease.My partener suffers from multiple sclerosis,could you point me in the direction on some useful literature that may give us some futher insight.I wish you the best of fortune in your study.

Karen can I ask by what means does one arrive at a true diagnoses?

Well said Micheal

Thank you both Lin and Nightwatchdog.You have helped me to remember.

Lin.where do we find patience?

" Great! I Am going to read this everyday for a month.

You say a force, an entity, came in the night and began to manipulate you.Did you ask for this?What had you been doing previous to this event?If this force came to you without your bidding does this bother you?Just curious.

We have a pet sheep called wool.He is warm in the winter and cool in the summer.Much respect to him.He spends most of his day in meditation practising many and varied sheepoteric breathing methods.One fine but cool day on a whim I sat down beside him,in roughly th same position and followed his breathing patterns.Within minutes I had warmed up considerably and felt very alert and relaxed at the same time,unfortunately or should I say fortunately had zero success with the whole cud chewing thing.Would highly reccommend a wool overlay for your mattress cool in the summer warm in the winter and comfortable all year round.

Religion or the religous exprience is hard wired into our brains.This can be artificial stimulated by external applicatin of electro magnetic impluse to particular parts of the brain.As can profound memorys of childhood,sexual manifestations,expriences of heaven and hell,also obe and a sense of other beings close to us when in fact theres no one there in physical realm.Roughly from the age of twelve we effectively become hard wired via the vehicle of language to use a reuse the same neuro pathways.Meditation,drugs,high fever,stravation etc are age old methods to help us unwire as it were.The religous exprience,the mystical exprience,are all wonderful attributes we have been engendered with, do to the actions of the enviroment upon our ancestors.They should be valued as important survival mechanism not abused for land ownership or control over other people.

The truest purest most returning moments occur when our direct being is in danger .This can be the fleeting moments before a car crash,a physical encounter with someone else i.e. a fight.suddenly falling from a height,No doubt all of us has had the incredible awareness and altered state of time these intense enounters ellicit.The beauty of these moments I believe is we behave spontaneously,are movements and actions have a purity and truthfullness unencumbered by rational duality.Past present and future are fused together,welded into instaneous now.Often when one is close to death or indeed dead all of ones life flashes in an instant,the tyrany of time is extinguished.Dreams also deliver us now.There is only the dream.Where is our yesterday,its the shadow,the fall from great heights,the touch of a unknown lover.Where is our past?,its the deepth of the cold blue sea,the miracle of light,the song of a one blue planet.The countless lives and extinctions rolling back to forever have led us here.now. Please to forgive the ravings of a mad man

The trick is in the interplay of the lady and the shadow of her feet.Changing direction is merely a matter of focussing on the shadow then directing focus to the lady herself.No need to fry your brain on acid or delve into the murky waters of quantum mechanics.You could spin any two objects in opposite directions within your field of view and get the same result.

This is exactly why I surf.The force of a large breaking wave compels one into now.Nothing else exsists only now.If your mind hesitates,you will suffer,if your mind predicts an outcome you will suffer,On a large wave of consquence which one could extend to as a metaphor for life you have to be fully present.If for any reason you are not totally committed to taking the drop and holding your line,you are going to suffer.The two worst things you can do is panic and tense up,you must remain calm and present while a moutain of water breaks behind you.The energy or chi if you prefer of the breaking wave is can be felt with the whole body.The joy of the ride.The power of the breaking wave continues within you and is passed on to others who enter your field of energy,believe me.Unreal is watching someone surf from the cliff edge.Real is flying down the face.

In this world where were told what to do and what to think from the moment were born its with great surprise to hear someone suggest to let your own intuition tell you what it is that is best for you.Imo all the best qigong teachers point to formless form. Xeno shame is what seperates us.Take a deep breath all will be fine.

Sometimes I believe in astrology,somtimes I don't.The joys of being a Gemini.

I really enjoyed reading the various threads on this topic.I'am fortunate to live a very active life in a body that is largely free of defects ( a miracle considering the abuse of younger years).For many years I practiced tai chi yang stlye long form. This form usually took anywhere from twenty to thirty minutes to complete,regardless always end in a rich lather of sweat and a elevated heart rate.Always amazed me how doing such gentle slow movements could have such a profound effect on the body.The concept of checks and balances is insightful.I have found that doing twenty minutes of Qi gung has a comparable effect in terms of releasing endorphins as two hours of surfing or an hour of squash with out the general wear and tear.Also the consistent practice of Qi gung helps to level out the peaks and troughs of the diurnal energy cycle when I'am engaged in hard physical activety.

For the majority of time homo sapiens have lived on this planet we were hunter and gathers.Diseases such as flus and epedemics simply did not have a large enough matrix to survive in.It was only with advent of agriculture that people began to congregrate in large numbers for protracted period of time.Agriculture is directly responsible for a vast majority of ills we suffer in our society today.Pre european settlement Australian Aborogines for example did not suffer from diabetes,heart disease,alcholism etc.Replace aborginal with native american,inuit etc.This doesn't mean the lives were all cheese and bisquits,no doubt starvation, infection and warfare were killers but in terms of over all health and well being, there can be no comparison between a well balanced varied hunter gather diet and limited grain based agricultural diet.Truly would you rather spend your days hunched over in some grain field supporting a hieracrchy of priests and nobility or take matters into your own hands and share your luck with your tribe who in turn share their luck with you.

The reproductive patterns of women in todays affluent western nations differ greatly from those of our ancestors.decrease in age menarche,in the number of pregnancies, in duration of breast feeding and increase in age at first birth all lead to an increase in the overall number of ovulations and menstruations a women has within a reproductive lifespan.This accounts for the rise in many female disorders we see in modern society.Endometriosis,osteoporisis,osteoarthritis,ceverical cancer,etc. P.s.Anyone who believes we live longer now then in the past.isn't looking back far enough.Also it may be well and fine that people in western nations live till eighty or older.The question should be what sort of life do they have?Drop into a nursing home or hospital and have a look, then consider if our current agenda of poly pharmacy is truly successful.

Me thinks there may be a issue with ones age in regards to this topic.You can only squeeze so much juice from a lemon.

The ocean doesn't give two shits about us as individuals,it does what it does.That being the case you have to learn to paddle in the trough and ride or rest on the crest.The two things to avoid are thinking too much and panicking. Just blowing bubbles

The spring full moon has just passed here in the southern hemisphere.I love this time of year.Lots of strong wind,black dark clouds interspersed with clear bright sunshine.Today was exceptional, winds over 100km an hour,big hail stones,powerful cold ocean waves that set your racing when you ride them.Today as I sat on my surfboard with wind in my hair and the hail blowing into my face I felt so good a single black and white tern flew over top me to see why I was laughing so much.So my question is how does the weather effect you?what weather patterns give you energy? what patterns quite you down,open you up, or make you run for cover?
