I read somewhere on the Internet, someone gave an assessment of what he spent in the loop 35-45 years. And on the piano he learned to play from zero level, it is implied in the scene where he comes to his first lesson.

It is remind me, when I was on the islands in Indonesia, I saw how after every tide the whole coast turned into a giant plastic dump. But I liked to see how quickly the local people cleaned it. First they collected recyclable plastic, glass, and broken trees, and at the end they cleaned useless garbage. In Indonesia, the art of woodcarving is very developed, and according to local residents they use only trees that bring tides from the ocean and they try to not to cut down living trees.

Here we go. Have a happy groundhogday! I wish everyone not to step on the same puddle, but be active and manage to do everyone good thing you want to and to do it the best you can. Have to meet every single day as a great one. All the best, Pavel.

For a wooden sword, you can choose wood that is similar in mass to the steel of the sword. For example, an iron tree can be suitable for such a purpose. You can find a workshop near you that works with heavy wood species, and they will be able to experimentally find something optimal. The hardest thing I had in my hands was the iron tree of Florida, as well as boxwood and ebony are also quite heavy.

Ultimate Scepticism. But what after all are man’s truths? - They are his irrefutable errors.

I have long wanted to try these kind of clothes in the heat. It seems that you can feel comfortable in it during the heat. In Arab countries, where the temperature can rise up to + 50 ° C, the local feel comfortable, they are saved by loose long robes made of cotton, silk or satin. Natural tissues help with thermoregulation of the body, and a closed outfit protects the body from overheating. But in reality I often have to save myself from strong northern frosts than from the heat.

Yes it is. But all the same, initially a person needs to have a desire to grow and develop together. Otherwise, in case of wrong choice, a person will contrary pull the Daoist one person down towards the usual common man. Therefore, I think that it is not right to be just with somewho. But ofcouse it is just my humble opinion.

Great, thank You for share. Yes, the Gong has amazing examples of sound. But Of course this is not Daoist music (except that the name of the band is partly Daoist), so it is understandale why there are not many people who are interested in this. But in my opinion their music just hits into the meaning of the topic, as an example of the fact that fractals can be not only visual, but also it could be created with sound.

Yes, it really seems inconvenient. I imagine that maybe it makes sense to use chopsticks made from the noble metal, for example silver or gold. But it looks more like get away from simplicity in the side of excess.

There may well be a connection between pain in the back and a cold floor. If the floor is cold, then it is better to use warm shoes for the winter time. Cooling in the legs can easily be overlooked, and the kidneys will suffer afterwards. To warm up the body, I practice special qigong exercises wich heat up the leg channels, and it works quete well. The heat penetrates the body with energy moving, and then kidneys get the strengthening.

Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.

Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky. A great film in terms of Daoism.

Yes, in my opinion, the souls of people grow up more slowly than bodies. Mature souls can often be found in elderly people. But I think when a person changes, he left behind the things that does not corresponds to him anymore. Thus, the circle of human communication changes naturally.

A person often does not know how rich he is, until he learns from experience what rich men even play the thief on him.

I like guzheng (guqin) music, mostly the traditional masterpieces. But here i listened some rock music played with guzheng.

That is the point i talking about. There are many interesting and pleasant discoveries on the way to achieve this state. But it takes time to reach it. Instead of that, many people are content just to become a "Buddha for an hour" with drugs. In terms of practice, it's like putting a roof on the house before building a walls and before laying the foundation. And this is far away from the real achievements

I join the congratulations. I wish you all to have new discoveries on your way. Happy New Year!

Well, 7 hours is enough for a good sleep. In addition, this time includes daytime phases in which it is very useful to sleep, starting at 10 pm. In addition, if there is an opportunity to have a short nap during the day, then there will be no fatigue. Many people sleep very easily untill 10-11 am, although the time starts from 7 am or even earlier. Although of course in the summer time it is better go to sleep when it gets dark. By the way in my city in the summer there is no dark all night long. That's probably why it's not strange for me to go to bed in the daytime.

First of all, a good life is connected with good health. "Good live" it is to be interact with the outside world harmoniously, and have ability to discover something new every day.

I have a cat wich is very interested in my practices. She likes to be around when I practice qigong. If the door is closed, she certainly begins to ask to be allowed into the room.

Perhaps You should rely on the connection of esoteric practices with traditional Chinese medicine. It is worth starting to study the canons of traditional Chinese medicine. It have many explanations of the Qi species, and accurate descriptions of the channels, it also speak about Shen and Yuan Qi. And yet, Modern science acept the practical effectiveness of TCM to some extent. And of course, personal experience in energy practices and the results from them will be a good basis for research.

Do not forget to reach Your potential.

Some music by self-made instrument.

This can be a very harmonious mode if you go to sleep at 8 pm (or at least at 9 pm). Additionally the daytime sleep about 30-60 minutes would also be a wonderful decision. By the way the time from 5 to 7 am, is very good for reading or creative activity.

On the second day I recovered. So this time the garlic cold therapy worked good enough. The only negative that I felt was that chewing garlic somewhat dehydrated my body. But not too much. It's better to smell garlic than to be sick. In any case, if I'm sick, then I stay at home alone. So that is ok.
