It is always connected to everything, but primarily memory -- genetic and cosmic, philogenic and ontogenic. Jing is the know-how of creation, sex is a side effect. By the way, I've never heard of "pre-heavenly jing" -- jing is usually defined as "pre-heavenly qi," or prenatal qi. Earlier Heaven (Xian Tian) is not divisible into jing-qi-shen. Once it "gives birth to three," you have jing-qi-shen. Three begets ten thousand things. If you want to go back, the gate is called "memory." Not "sex." If you want to go back anywhere, you have to remember the road. Taoist concepts are never convoluted -- if they appear so, that part has most probably been superimposed by other traditions. "The way of Heaven is easy and the way of the Earth is simple" -- Ta Chuan. "Return" is return. There's no returning anywhere without remembering how you got somewhere. Jing, in ordinary life, "dissipates" no matter what you do sexually. It dissipates from use and from non-use. Overindulgence breeds exhaustion, while celibacy breeds "dead jing." "The Way is narrow and sharp as a razor blade." Balance yourself on the razor blade and turn around to go back -- that's the technique...

Pietro, please check out a later thread titled "Wand Liping makes a statement." You may want to re-evaluate the odds.

They are not kidney stones, and they are not invisible. They are called sharira and have been observed on rare occasions and described as sharp, diamond-hard crystals. Petrified light. I don't know if it's true, but I've read something weird many years ago about a woman in Eastern Europe who baffled doctors because she developed stigmata (these are a well-documented phenomenon that occurred many times -- wounds that appear on the body spontaneously, in ardent Christians replicating the location of the wounds of Christ, in troubled individuals attacked by some possessing entity, etc.) -- this woman would develop wounds on her body as sharp diamond-like crystals would break through the skin, whereupon the skin would heal till the next episode. This happened to her many times. The crystals were collected and studied. They had some weird electrical properties but I forget what exactly it was. The "medical mystery" remained unsolved. Then again, the woman may have been a fraud ISO attention, and masters who leave sharira behind may be simply the followers of the ancient shamanic custom of swallowing small "Herzheimer diamonds" -- quartz crystals of particular clarity that have two sharp ends (I know what they look like because I own a handful). They did it to modulate their energy, or as they put it, to increase their power. Apparently they had the power to keep these inside their stomachs instead of eliminating, and accumulated them over a lifetime. I am very reluctant to swallow mine though, I use them in a rattle for certain ritualistic purposes.

That's what "we're all connected" is about. "Think as though your every thought is written in fire in the sky for everyone to see, for in Reality, it is." -- Buddha Let alone "announce on the internet as though..." etc..

My TKD teacher did it to me once, accidentally. He touched -- or thought he just touched, intended to just touch lightly -- my solar plexus with his finger explaining a move ('you aim here') -- and that one finger fa jinned like crazy, shaking me to the core. When he realized what happened, he kept apologizing, but I was in a place where no apologies can help, a place of helpless anger. I couldn't wait for the class to come to an end, left to the tune of more apologies from the master, chin up, proudly and indignantly. Then -- thank god for yin -- blessed be the gods that made me a woman -- soon as I was alone, I burst into tears and cried for an hour, nonstop, non-thinking, wuwei crying, and it was gone out of my system completely. No more resentment, no more anger, no more lightning bolts in my lower dantien, all forgiven. Sharing in hopes that a victim of accidental fajin out there might find it of use should the occasion arise. I've heard that sometimes the whacko feeling lingers for days, weeks or even longer after such an event... so I am sharing an "empty remedy" I discovered as accidentally and spontaneously as the master dispensed the empty force.

He doesn't speak Chinese and can't communicate with WL directly because of that.

The spirit expressed righteous indignation. Not all of them are politically/buddhistically correct, in my experience (in fact, none of them are, far as "my experience" goes, unlike in popular "anger is always wrong" ideation), and this particular one was morally correct. When I was sharing some personal experiences, I posted, among other things, something about a person who was murdered, and a member of the forum, misreading what I meant, responded that this person had done something unnatural and got what he deserved. It was absolutely bass ackwards vis a vis what I meant, but it's my fault that I brought it up, not the misreading party's fault that he misread it. A frivolous intrusion, with a judgment of this nature, into the world of the dead was absolutely, totally wrong and the spirit was absolutely, totally right getting angry with me for inadvertently creating this situation. Many people don't concern themselves with the spirit world because they don't have to, but some of us, in particular those who had had an NDE, have unlocked that door whether they wanted to or not. They can keep it open or closed, but it is no longer locked. So entities from the other side might show up and communicate, whether invited or not. I keep that door closed, but it's not in my power to lock it anymore (once you know where the door is, you can't "unknow," once you have visited, you can't forget the road.) So I try to be mindful of what the other side thinks and feels about what I do, especially if they make an explicit statement about it.

I will inquire further, my role is merely that of a translator. Why would anyone do anything?.. Why would Viktor insist with absolute confidence that he's informed if he wasn't?.. Why would Jette's information contradict his?.. Tao works in mysterious ways. Stay tuned.

Yes, the announcement is still there, but the deal is not, and was not.

There will be no event in Denmark at the posted dates. WL is not, and was not, planning to do anything like that, according to his student since 1988 and one of the organizers of his Moscow seminar, Viktor Siao. Sorry to reiterate, but I've been in communication with Viktor since his first post here, and he authorized me to make a public statement to this effect and to answer any questions that might pertain to the matter.

That your consciousness is in the habit of repressing information from your unconscious. Try using your peripheral vision. Look at something else while keeping the dancers in your peripheral awareness. When you shift your direct gaze, the dancers change their direction of rotation if you don't lose awareness of them: look to the right, they will rotate counterclockwise, look to the left, they will go clockwise. Peripheral vision processes information you are not directly paying attention to, and feeds it to the parts of the brain you are not directly/consciously accessing. There was a thread along the lines of this one a while back, you might find it in the archives.

I'm a sucker for biodiversity. I think simplifying 10,000 things to 3, then 2 and so on is what our civilization is doing anyway. And a horrible thing to do to life it is too. On this continent, not 10,000 but 15,000 languages were spoken by its native inhabitants before this "simplifying" Indo-European civilization's advent. Not one but hundreds of cultural traditions, rich and diverse, thrived without invalidating each other. Not one but millions of creatures great and small, as different and distinct as tao would have them, roamed free. And all of this owed its existence to the fact that people held a certain "attachment." Attachment to the land. Attachment to their history. Attachment to life. And life was real, not artificial, while they held this attachment. If "attachment" is a bad word, consider me a bad girl. Oh, and there's nothing but a "view" anyone can share online -- not me, not you... it's the nature of the medium. In real life, I could, e.g., make my point instead by serving you a labor-of-love meal whose lineage could be traced to my ancestry and yours, because I had both transmitted to me! If you told me that you prefer just one thing though, and simplified at that -- then you would have to turn it down and munch on uncooked rice instead in order to prove your point. Everything else would be a "view."

China was literate and bureaucratic for thousands of years. Records were kept. Family was the center of Chinese civilization's system of values, and all things pertaining to family life were of the greatest importance. Last names were not numerous -- only about a hundred, all of which are traceable to the primary seven even today. Anyone knowing their family name could trace their family history waaaay back. Something only royalty and aristocracy could boast of in Europe -- in China, peasants had access to that, a scholar could do it for the illiterate person via an official route, but even the illiterate learned their family history through oral transmissions for many generations. This used to be universally human rather than specifically Chinese, by the way. Even today, I know a physician who used to be a farmer's son in Nigeria, who can recite his family history as far back as you have the patience to endure -- he learned it all by heart by age six. Things without roots, without history, without "conception, growth, maturation, fruition" (tao's proprietary style of manifestation) -- whether MA or anything else -- are like hydroponics vegetables, flavorless... or like GM crops, healthless... like that poor lab mouse they crossed with a glowing jellyfish -- so it glows in the dark... very pretty... but what's the quality-of-life value, for the mouse, of having developed a non-lineage based, arbitrarily superimposed new trait which, for all practical purposes, translates into "nowhere to run, nowhere to hide?.."

Nice entry! The sun would be a better choice for... what? Yang applications. My grandmother used to put a tin child-sized bath tub in the yard every summer morning, fill it with water, and let the sun work its magic throughout the day. At sunset, I was supposed to take a bath in it. Every day -- till I outgrew the tub at the age of 7. The water was always warm and sometimes even hot, and left me feeling "purified" before I knew the word. The rationale behind the practice: "children grow better when bathed in sun water." Well, I've grown taller than my both parents. You might want to add an Ayurvedic twist to your sun water protocol: keep it in the sun in a blue glass container. It will become antibacterial and antiviral, on top of everything else. I know a couple dozen more water-magic tricks... but Moon Water is a distinct and specific one. A much more powerful version, known under the unappetizing name of Moon Slime or The Thesalian Trick, is the one I never tried, too involved... but this one reverses jing, far as I understand from the explanation of its effects. This is not "energizing" though, this is transmutation... magic.

1) Method of making: fill a bowl with spring water, take it outside, have the full moon reflect in it for a few hours. 2) Uses/effects: chiefly cosmetic. Face and hair beautification. Will work well in love spells. 3) Alchemical explanation: ganying. 5) Experiences: superb moisturizer and sunscreen.

changed my mind...

It's a chicken-and-egg problem. Are people who are stupid naturally stupid? or are they stupid because fluoride, a CNS suppressor, is in their water since before birth? and mercury, a cause of irreversible neurological damage, in their vaccines? and vaccines, immune system scramblers, cause of neuromuscular disorders, degenerative disease, and learning difficulties, are dished out till the baby is immune to higher cognitive functions and chiefly preoccupied with chronic health problems for the rest of his/her life? and low-fat/no-fat/never-any-good-fat dietary misinformation results in diets that strip the neural dendrites of their protective sheath, causing a 12-fold decrease in their (neurons') ability to communicate with each other? and the land is so organized that children are immobilized and straightjacketed since birth till they join the work force, and never have a chance to learn by living, exploring, discovering a natural environment? and economy is so designed as to force the parents to never be there for the kids in the case of "successful" people, and be there only in the case of people in their "failure" mode -- unemployed, sick, miserable?.. and and and... I could go on and on, but the bottom line is, are you sure people do this to themselves, this exponential existential ugliness?.. or are they the way they are because they have been, and are being, tampered with?.. How can a being tampered with since before birth be responsible for his/her "choices" -- did anyone here choose to have propylen glycol in their muffins? Did you?.. Matter of fact, did anyone choose the current president, as in, voted for him? What choice does a voter have if the voting machines are tampered with? What choice does anyone have who IS a machine?..

I highly recommend "The Woman in the Shaman's Body: Reclaiming the Feminine in Religion and Medicine," by Barbara Tedlock, Ph.D.. If you read it and still assert I've magnified the task, which in fact, quite on the contrary, I placed against a very fuzzy and very remote telescope instead of under the microscope... well, like I said, I don't have the power to change it. I did post a couple of personal examples, and was warming up to more-bigger-better... but then I was confronted by a very angry spirit in my dream, who basically yelled at me all night for trivializing the issue to satisfy idle curiosities, and was absolutely correct, so I deleted that entry and swore off any personal examples for the foreseeable future. As for the thread "devolving..." ...welcome to the internet!

Well, it wasn't me who made this suggestion, so you aren't going against anything I said with this. I have no information from any sources available to me about eating it by anybody who's anybody, but it is indeed an ingredient in some herbal brews, alchemical inks, and healing ointments. A toxic body will use all venues open to it -- so people perspire fluoridized sweat, cry chlorinated tears, grow hair laden with heavy metals, trap bovine growth hormone in their cholesterol and fat tissues, break out in propylen glycol-laced rashes through their skin, entangle aluminum in their dopamine receptors, catch mercury with their hemoglobin cells where it takes oxygen's place, and so on -- and, yes, a woman will throw the goodies into her menstrual blood while at it. But it doesn't mean the natural physiological function of hair is to trap heavy metals, or skin, to process propylen glycol, or cholesterol, to go through the roof in order to prevent artificial hormones and poisonous chemicals from freely circulating in the bloodstream, damaging organs and systems as they go, and so on -- similarly, it is not menstruation's primary natural physiological function to remove what the body doesn't need -- a shaman might suggest its primary function is to return to the Earth what SHE needs. Menstrual blood can mediate growth and fertility in plants and, higher up the food chain, animals who eat them, and higher up, animals who eat these animals, and ultimately humans too who eat plants and animals all along the chain. We used to be part of nature, an important link, now we're missing, we're the missing link!.. We used to be in control of whether we get pregnant (plants that inhibit or enhance fertility were given the message as to the human situation via the amount and quality of menstrual blood detected in the soil, and raised or dropped their phytoestrogens and fertility-affecting alkaloids in response). We used to be talking to our world -- menstruation used to be just one of the many body languages we were proficient in.
