  1. How do you feel about vampires?

    The best thing is to know your own vampires... imho
  2. What are you watching on Youtube?

    Glad that you enjoyed it. Just too awesome not to share. And yeah, the staff is so universal.
  3. Dark Night of the Soul

    Thank you for your answer and patience. There is plenty in it.
  4. A neigong joke

    That joke sounded a bit like that same neigong book they put on sale every year with a new cover and a new title and a new author.
  5. Dark Night of the Soul

    Do you think true initiation is possible without this? Is there any learning at all without going through this process? Thanks for the topic Spotless.

  8. The Bible as to be read as a whole, that is if you want to understand the message in the gospels in depth.
  9. Don't think it implies an after life as in the concept of reincarnation. Consider that the Bible speaks of several deaths and several births in one lifetime.
  10. I just think there must be a very good reason why we adopt some postures instinctively- think of childs pose for example- but nothing like trying yourself. It may work well if you're 14it may not work so well if you're 41 : ) Thanks for the links
  11. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am (...) Terry, On The Waterfront
  12. A novel by the great MIrcea Eliade adapted to the cinema by Francis Ford Coppola
  13. Self-massage Qigong

    Thanks for the links s1va. I will check them
  14. Self-massage Qigong

    Yeah, tapping the body really puts energy moving and wakes you up. Better not to do it at night if you want to have a good night sleep.
  15. First of all, thank you Arkx6 for starting the thread. I was hoping for interesting discussions for this weekend Some very interesting points are being discussed here which gives me food for thought. Cheshire Cat, your participation reminded me of a thread where you shared your disappointment with qigong... I sincerely thank you for having the courage to let us know about your True thoughts and feelings and wonder about that corner in you still full of that stubborn hope...
  16. The Current Atmosphere

    I thanked both posts...
  17. The Hidden Treasure

    The Hidden Treasure... Well, there's one in the archives of The Dao Bums! Why do I state the obvious? Maybe sometimes I get fed up with people missing some inactive members so much... Don't I miss for example, Taomeow sometimes? Well, when I do I go back and read Taomeow. I still don't get bored of reading her interview or think that I fully understood the ideas shared in it. Well, the treasure is there for the hack... Forgive me for my arrogance in reminding you of this. And... Don't mind if once in a while I take home a couple of emeralds in my pocket!
  18. The Cool Picture Thread

    That waist turn...
  19. The dao bums is a cia experiment.

    That explains why so many superpowerful creatures suddenly disappear from this forum...
