“Half savage unintelligent people”? Besides being historically inaccurate, probably not the best way to characterize them.

Rideforever’s statement about no possibility of letting go of attachments is both false and uninformed. By such reasoning, forgiveness is completely disregarded, even though by its nature, forgiveness eliminates those attachments.

Yep, my peers call people who focus on that and the third eye dandelions: complete hippies who are not grounded and out of touch with reality, obsessed with things like "higher realms" and "fifth dimensions" and a lot of other nonsense. Balance the whole thing, not the top, otherwise, your body is like an upside-down pyramid!

Nah, I'd say they were reptiles introducing Christianity...RAPTOR JESUS!

@Walker Considering that pillows were used a lot earlier and sleeping positions in centuries-old forms like Sleeping Qigong of Huashan, even rocks were used to elevate the head for the positions to sleep in to cultivate.

Internal training exaggerates existing problems without the proper care and guidance. Even beginner's stuff like Mo Pai. MildMouse23/Megamind could have avoided all the grief had he never created the original conflict to begin with, and could have stopped it at any time with an apology. A normal human being with adequate social intelligence does not make apologies conditional if someone is upset; they apologize because someone is upset, which is reason enough. Anyway, their group has too many crazies and enough of them suffer all sorts of delusions and psychosis made worse by the practice. Someone can practice whatever he or she wants, but claiming to belong to Mo Pai when the school doesn't want them or acknowledge them and then teaching it? Revolting. Controlling it and saying that they can't in good conscience let it be easily available? LIES. Even within the group it causes psychoses. It is NOT free, no matter what they allege here. By the way, I think I'd love to join the Chicago Bulls too with Walker!

How do you know when it is an anorexic bachelor party? When the cake jumps out of the girl instead.

Okay, I guess you just have man crushes on your idols. It’s okay; lotsa guys in the 80s wanted to be Arnold or Sly or Bruce because of all that machismo in cinema. Didn’t mean they’d bend over backwards for them, but they sure looked up to them with A LOT of admiration because they wanted to be cool like them. Waitasec... so someone DOES stick copper wires up your butts? But you’re just not sure if the one who does that is one of your group mates? Do you just sit there waiting for someone from craigslist to jam stuff up your butts? I can imagine it now: “Wanted: someone to stick copper wires up ass. Door unlocked. Don’t talk, don’t let your face be seen. Copper provided. Ass provided.” Oh, for goodness sake! Maybe prostate massages are better and healthier for you...

How about this: I’ll refer to you when Geraldo Rivera or Ted Koppel do an investigation on WMP and need to hire a consultant, given that you’ve been advising every single one of them since the forum was born and are at this point a professional in dealing with their repeated issues. You get all the cash and credit for it!

Or they could just stop talking about it here and save money. Problem is like I said before, he loves to introduce it when it had nothing to do with what was being discussed initially, as I and Ilumairen both elaborated. Seems like he can’t shut up or stop projecting anyway, and then people bite back, he acts surprised.

Yes, what they found in some studies I came across years ago as well was that it (porn) actually made people LESS interested in sex or relationships. If I find it I’ll edit into this.

Except that the causality of toxic masculinity and porn is still arguable, as I know men who love porn and are gentlemen and women who watched a lot more porn than they did since college--and even went on to make a few videos themselves. The real issue to me is his relationship with himself and so far don't know what his energetic practice is, but generally speaking, the emotions and the energy are the worse issue than the porn itself.

The problem with cold showers is that they increase libido!

If you PM me more details, I can use a special deck or the Akashic to help with this, but only if it needs more than just the words.

I used to spend every week here when I lived in L.A. Go to Santa Monica and 5th street to Thunderbolt Spiritual Books while you can. If you let me know in advance I can introduce you to some individuals of interest in martial, magical, and other related disciplines there.

I bet you’d love to rub sticks with JC in the jungle too.

Oh, depends on what your routine and practices are, then. For me, I just listen to the body and do what feels right. Sometimes it means I go right back into the hardcore, sometimes I may just do silk brocades, sometimes I’ll just rest and eat well. Listening to the body is a key skill for training, even when not training, so to speak.

It's a bit hard to really determine what is affecting you or the causality and the way to treat it without knowing your background, but your real best bet is to consult a TCM doctor or get a session with Eric Isen, medical professionals rather than people on the forum.

Yes, in Xin Yi, the body needs to rewire, otherwise, the style and the methods are useless because they will have no power or harmony. You won't even have sensitivity for tuishou. For other styles, the body I have noticed rewires differently--if Xin Yi is a martial style, another friend's lineage is for healing and faqi, and both ways of dealing with qi are mutually exclusive--unless you rewire martially then go for healing, but then you can't fight as effectively anymore.

You can actually contact her directly and attend her workshops, as she travels often enough to reach more people.

You should see Nepalese beekeepers then . https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2017/07/honey-hunters-bees-climbing-nepal/

He might be ignoring you not because of the reasoning of your example, but because he’s a Pistons or Pacers fan...

You forgot to clarify how scientists were there to test if MJ was faking it or if he could really slam dunk on video! 😂

I honestly believe that the most significant part was that the head cones are real ornaments, not just depictions in art and hieroglyphics. As for melting beeswax, who knows? Perhaps the species of bee then was different and the physical properties of their wax made the material easier to melt at lower temperatures than we observe now. Then again, honey found preserved in some of the tombs in Egypt is arguably still edible...
