    The Chinease are wise. Tonight my woman was displeased I grew militant she smacked me, told me to behave. God I love her!
  3. U.S. Law and Policy

    I see your point but at this late stage in the game anyone in government not understanding tech has made themselves a liability and need to pass the torch to a younger generation. It seems to me most over the age of 50 now have willfully resisted technology and only know the play side of it AKA Facebook. This is not good. HRC with the private e-mail server was what did it for me, I always thought of her as pretty darn strong to have put up with what Bill put her through. After Obama I was ready for more great progress out of the dark ages and felt a woman could be just what we needed.. The email server killed it for me. That is a smart woman one I think was responsible for allot of Bills better stuff. Behind every successful man is a good woman, there is fact to that saying. I have a very hard time believing she did not understand, my God I hope she did because as a former First Lady and Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013 that scares me worse than anything. She had to know about security matters. It is inconceivable she did not. Later I actually tried to let it go saying well too bad she got caught it was a smart move to keep dirt flowing to her own exchange server and surly she must have had a knowledgeable sys admin just to set it up. Then she proclaimed she was continuing Obama’s policies and I just cringed and gave up on her, in my opinion we needed a fresh start with an experienced woman as the POTUS not more of the same. It is funny Obama ran under the flag of change but it was change from his administration and time in office that got me to vote for Trump. I had given up on getting any qualified candidate and said ok let’s role the dice. I detest the Trump personality firing people on T.V. But who knows? Still do not like Trump the personality but do like the policies and the progress thus far. I hope during the next elections there are better choices.

    Great points Apple with there banning causing issues with tumbler causing tumbler to ban sexualy related material in order to remain in their App Store. The thing that gets me here is Cook Apples CEO’s Abject Hypocracy an Open LGBT proponent of the 🏳️‍🌈 community and now Q whatever that is, and a self proclaimed homosexual man himself. Makes me think he is a hypocrite satisfying his conservative stock holders. Google working with the chinease govt on censorship, Facebook a complete farce with its privacy buttons etc... all of this stuff will come under regulation as these tech giants are like and nigh into sovereign nation states now affecting everyone’s lives in ways that were never imagined by the founding fathers and mothers of any nation.

    This might be a good time for both of us to learn here you can have one of my biscuits 🍪

    Invitation accepted. Shall I invite some members like Kar3n, Stosh,Apech, RC, Luke, Aetheros, Ralis and windwalker, who were always active or should they just find their own way here?

  8. Oh I see you’re irritated at the possibilities I voiced. Ok got it. Honestly you are making much more of it than I ever intended. When I made the comment it was more of a If not this then that. If not salt then sugar. You went and got too complicated. You might want to look at your attachment and deep investment in forum life, what will you do if the Bums shuts down, how then will you live? Without the internt you are cast adrift. To me it seems people do exactly as you accuse, perhaps you do also? I do not know your private life. I have blended forum life and internet life many many times over, over 100 times in fact and had and have real life one on one face to face interactions aiding seekers to receive Kriya Yoga. I have engineered the visas and living accommodations for teachers from India to come to America and give to those wishing to receive. There are also aspects of my private life that are in place squarely due to the existance of the Dao Bums website. For the the record I am grateful to the owner Sean and the administration and staff here for maintaining this site. This site allowed me to discover my greatest gift. In other words I talk the talk and walk the walk more than you can possibly guess. When you make accusations you do so without sufficient data. As to how the Zafu is like a Bo staff if you cannot keep your everminute zen mind then what is done on the cushion is meaningless.
  9. 😁 Thanks feel the same just alternatives that came to mind while reading.
  10. What is wrong about being judgemental?

    Oh now that is really good. So Discernment is wisdom guided decision making? Is that right?
  11. See this is why I nominated you about as fair and balanced as can be yet still of your own stripe.
  12. Better spell check Lol you wrote Trump not Trunk🤪
  13. Now it is my turn to not understand why someone is responding this way. There are are alternatives to posting political discussion and current events as the media feeds them to us here and still hanging with ones favorite personalities was my point. If it is an ill fit then move the venue😊 New agey That is funny isn’t that old ages by now?
  14. Oh hi yes sorry can see how that was confusing. First part was in direct reply, second part about leinancy was just being lazy and typing as thoughts flowed freely. Apologies nothing meant to be directed at you.
  15. I view the pitting as a kind way of making a point rather than banning 3bob which is where things were heading from what I can tell and in my opinion shows incredible good character and restraint. The pitting also serves as a wake up call it’s why I decided to take Morphesus red pill. The pitting also serves to help define ownership and managements guidance and direction for the site. All positive from what I can tell. Of course people can still respond there but also find myself agreeing with others locking it is probably for the better and just plain deleting it might be best of all. The energy there was fascinating it grew and spooled off of the Trump phenomena and became a reflective microcosm of what the media feeds everyone, and how different egos react, truly a study of the humanities. If a new thread devoted to political conversation and current events started it seems to me unlikely the same as has already be seen can be avoided. Either outside censorship or seggregation would be needed. We already know censorship will be ill received and argued over and whomever takes an admin role will be subject to vitriol and harangue. Perhaps the only way since people will not self govern is to have two threads on current affairs and never permit another Talk (Presidents Name) as a title? There are three members voices I respect above all others in these matters. I would nominate Luke to start a thread for political discussion where like minded people can discuss and give him full admin rights over it. I would nominate Red Cairo to start a thread where like minded people can discuss and give her full admin rights over it. lastly I would give the hardest thread the one of the middle ground to Ilumarian and give her full admin rights over it. In this way all voices may be heard with respect and even come together in good fellowship.
  16. Don’t forget the fresh cheese pizza😀
  17. Or how about the people wanting such discussions just host a website and discuss things there? That is an option. The leniency shown here is remarkable. Over 700 pages worth of proof the staff here is not crazy about or for censorship.
  18. Energy flows during meditation?

    Hello, you have received some very good advice from people coming from different levels and experience as well as understanding. You are ready to do something with the energy you are experiencing. If you would like to learn Kriya Yoga or perhaps the Bon tradition of Tibet which works directly with the Divine Vibration, The Divine Sound and the Divine light, I will introduce you to a teacher. Just send a private message. I do not teach. Now what I would like to add mostly to all that has been said already is enjoy yourself Shakti the divine consort will take you from here. In my opinion these have been the very best replies, it would be good to re-read them: This reply will take time to grow into and truly comprehend. Agreed and this next set of practices could be Kriya Yoga if it suits you. Look up the term Hara Breath on google this is good advice but may lead to large uncontrolled energy flows, speak from experience. You have been told there is a danger and there can be, so learning to channel the divine bliss is necessary. Some do not need it. I most certainly did after receiving physical damage. The divine manifesting in you is transforming you even now. Chang, Change, Change be ready Very good. Very Helpful. Very good but might take a while to get completely. Erections are to be expected there are 3 chakras (Energy Nexis) located in the male sex organ it too is changing. Enjoy, in time when the sexual healing is largely completed they will not be so frequent. Many get caught up over leakage etc... forget such foolishness and where ever you find your self just be there fully. You have what can be a delightful and challenging road ahead of you. My goodness try not to be too serious. Get a teacher if you can and if you can not then posting as you have is very good for you, God knows when I was going through the initial transformations I did my fair share and it was good for me. Welcome glad you are here.

  20. Is Fascism Left or Right

    *** SPLIT FROM ANOTHER THREAD BY STAFF *** You seem to have missed the entire thread on the constitution. America is not a putrid Democracy no matter how many can not get this through their head. This is a Representative republic with some Democratic processes which I might add are the ones that do not work. As a Representative Republic which again is rule of law and not rule mob histrionics, Fascism is not as easy to evolve. Italy the birth place of Fascism was a Monarchy and Fascism came from The Liberals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Kingdom_of_Italy_(1861–1946)#The_First_World_War_(1914–1918) The liberal establishment, fearing a socialist revolution, started to endorse the small National Fascist Party, led by Benito Mussolini, whose violent reaction to the strikes (by means of the "Blackshirts" party militia) was often compared to the relatively moderate reactions of the government. After several years of struggle, in October 1922 the fascists attempted a coup (the "Marcia su Roma", i.e. March on Rome); the fascist forces were largely inferior, but the king ordered the army not to intervene, formed an alliance with Mussolini, and convinced the liberal party to endorse a fascist-led government. Over the next few years, Mussolini (who became known as "Il Duce", the leader) eliminated all political parties (including the liberals) and curtailed personal liberties under the pretext of preventing revolution. The nation state could only be formed by means of revolt. Germany: Before and during most of WWI Germany was an imperial monarchy but also with a parliament, called the Reichstag. Although the Reichstag had some influence real power resided with the monarch, Kaiser Wilhelm II. When it became obvious the war was lost in 1918 the Kaiser was forced to abdicate under pressure by the German high command. He went into exile to avoid prosecution as a war criminal by the victorious allies. The Social Democrats took power, signed the armistice, and formed the Weimar Republic in 1919. Because it was associated with defeat it was considered illegitimate by large numbers of German citizens. When the Nazis took power in 1933, through legal elections (although they often used illegal violence politically before then) ( Today they call it Doxing) Hitler effectively abolished the republic with the Reichstag fire decree and Enabling act of 1933. Germany became a one party dictatorship until its defeat in WWII. History has proven it is the Liberals and the Democrats that devolve nations into Fascism. This is not opinion it is a fact. What happens is they screw things up so badly people will choose a dictatorship over the madness they create in order to hopefully restore some order. Chaos is easy, Order is something that has to be worked for and if we are not vigilant and permit the Histrionics' of certain groups to prevail then we will have a nice Chaos just like the nice countries South of us so many are trying to escape from. In some ways people should be very, very afraid. Stupidity and bad leftist leadership has lead us to a place where we have a Trump as a President a radical outsider who is actually getting things done, there is no doubt in a Democracy, or a Monarchy he could swiftly evolve into a Dictator or an Emperor. The thing the Left does not seem to get is they need to stop all the illegal behavior, they need to stop creating chaotic scenes and let things settle down other wise even this Representative Republic may well tip into a dictatorship if things keep getting pushed into so many fanciful nonsensical translations just because of a feeling or a thought or a need to vote for their horse in the race because of the way you feel, You feel Hot, You feel cold, You feel Hungry, you feel oh so many things... A feeling will never kill you. Voting based on a feeling however can destroy this nation. Better to vote with facts in place or do not vote at all. *** SPLIT FROM ANOTHER THREAD BY STAFF ***

    Hi Bindi so nice talking to you again it has been A while. I like talking to you because you do know and we do agree. Laughing, isn’t that funny? Anyway yes the channels do need prepared. Whe I was 17 lets see ummm 32 years ago now... I was practicing the violet flame by Elizabeth Clare Prophet. In conjunction with Yoganandas sparse instructions from Autobiography of a Yogi. This led to entering the Buddha land. Here all was known and the answer was all was so simple and perfect and oh so simple and perfect. This changed my life forever even though I could not hold all that became known. The rest of my life has been growing into that. In 2008 I took up ZaZen. Without proper channel preparation. I experienced the Divine Mother flooding into me, I sat in stillness, Silence and she flowed. I experienced Rock Hard erections and flows of blissful energy racing in my spine and brain. Before long I needed a cane to walk at the age of 39. The doctors diagnosed me with advanced Arrhritus of all the facet joints in my spine. I was restricted to lifting no more than 15 pounds. I suffered for 4 years. Later scans done with an MRI revealed complete recovery. In 2012 I received a visitation by Lahiri Mahasaya the founder of Kriya Yoga. He told me how to practice. Today I suffer no ill effects of the spine. I have learned much much after searching knocking on doors having them opened asking and receiving. In short the channels must be prepared. The links I would provide will lead to teachings that do just that. Kriya is simple but advanced and I do not easily reccomend it. Other practices with Bon teachers I do. This person sharing has found there way to the crown all of the things shared are of this. There are ways of mitigating what they are experiencing.

    Well then G’Day mate. Err I guess that’s what they say?? relying on Paul Hogan here, sorry if In bad taste love that guy... The Mother comes in several ways. But it is always in her own time. Chosen by the Mother. Well if you do practices dodgy or otherwise you are asking for her. When the baby cries the Mother comes. Practicing is crying. Anyone doing any form of practice is doing so out of a need. They without knowing it are crying. Mother comes. Fall out is a term used for a bomb going off usually nuclear ☢️ I am very surprised to read you writing in such a mechanical way fall out and dealing with, my goodness this is such a male perspective. The male perspective is one of resistance the trick is to embrace change be like water flow and accept the Divine Mother then she purrs inside of you with bliss. Fight this then may all the Gods help you.

    Hi Bindi Happy Thanksgiving. In light of my experience it was necessary to keep going. I was leaving the body via the crown and my goodness some days I wish I had. In my case I had no choice. Nothing I did was keeping me here. So I did my paractices as a Kriyaban and that was all that kept me rooted. Had I stopped I would have died. Seriously I was exiting the body every 30 minutes at one point, very hard to deal with.... Yet it was practiced and listening to the silence that helped. The silence gave me Mantra. Sri Ram Jay Ram Jay Rama Ram Sri Ram Jay Ram Jay Ram Ram. This grounded me. In time I learned to be the new me Practices created. Lol I am not perfect but I am happy.

    Hi Luke happy thanksgiving and Love to you and yours. There are ways and means, you are most certainly right. The whole self attempt can lead to trouble. Even within a-lineage I experienced very extreme conditions as a Kriyaban. They fulfilled everything the lineage foretold and more. I know the breathless state. I know Mahasamdahi I know the stage without breath nor pulse. I know death and I love her like I love my beloved who is flesh and form. These are strange words but words fail, oh well so be it, this life we are here to live is so much more than all these things. Now to practicality. This person is awakening and there are steps, there are ways and means to make the process go much easier. If this person, (hello person) wishes help I will give them links to good teachings, good practices that will help. I do do not teach even though given permission to do so. There are those far better equipped than I. So when you reach a certain stage you have to keep going, stopping is ok but you will be drug back. Once awake going back to sleep is well not really all that good either, so you have little choice but to place one foot in front of the other. Kundalini is very misunderstood to sensationalized by teachers earning money from this ism or that. Kundalini is everyone’s birthright the divine mother the female aspect of the divine is a fierce independent entity and a part of us all. None May claim ownership. None should degrade her and make her a problem, that is ignorant. She comes when the time is right and was motivating each of us into practices before we ever knew about her. The divine Mother knows her children she tasks us at times but no more than we can truly take, she knows and she forces us to our boundaries to grow. Our reluctance is the biggest hurdle. There are skillful ways and means to adjust to all this. Stopping is not an option it is just delaying the inevitable and that is ok too.

    Eat a heavy meal energy is required to digest. This will help. Stopping practices is not the way. This is not good advice. You contact me via PM I will send you a link. From this you can learn good practices to get evened out. Once on the path you have to see it through, sorry not my rules just the way it works.
