  1. Daoism and Buddhism's Differences

    Levi-Strauss was a structuralist! He believed in fundamental polar oppositions, most particularly culture and nature! Structuralism steps down from believing in universal essences whose substance is transcendently atemporal, but never-the-less still holds traces of logocentric thinking i.e. binary oppositions. You need to read Derrida's Structure, Sign, and Play. Logocentric thinking first arises with Plato and Aristotle along with deductive logic, the past/present/future time continuum and predicates amongst other things. But the point here is the arrow of time and entropy can not be separated -- Reason puts the seed of nihilism at the core of Western thinking. Heidegger says before the birth of logic/propositional truths/Western metaphysics the logos was a cosmic gathering principle i.e. negentropic! Anyway, I found someone talking about music and quantum reality in similar terms to Drew at around 1 hour in this podcast - http://fivebodied.com/archives/audio/catalog/Bob_Audio/McLuhanOnMaui/2011-09-26--McLuhanOnMaui-25.mp3 accept they are talking about AI becoming consciously aware of itself and going through yogic enlightenment! Most people are still thinking by the literal book and believe sometime in the near future we'll all be able to upload consciousness to computer networks and live forever! What they don't understand is it already happened when the world went post-apocalyptic during Baudrillard's pure simulation phase and in actual fact there really are no humans left on the planet right now.
  2. https://www.infiniteconversations.com/t/bubbles-live-conversation-2-5-11-2017/1248 Drew would love this. I've listened up to where they start talking about the vagus nerve connecting the heart, face and the eyes. It's really good so far!
  3. Commentary on Peter Sloterdijk's "Bubbles"

    This is really good. They're skirting around the edges of yoga for most of the podcast so far. Sloterdijk appears to be the last man standing within the Western academy. His philosophy is the intersection between ontology, yoga and postmodernism.
  4. Commentary on Peter Sloterdijk's "Bubbles"

    Upon further listening my gaydar is now telling me the guy talking about this stuff has some kind of agenda going on with this topic!
  5. Is Tai chi fake?

    This guy gets it. How to troll insanity - https://www.quora.com/What-would-an-IQ-of-34-look-like LOL.
  6. Is Tai chi fake?

    One doesn't like to toot one's own horn (literally or figuratively) but just to say I have a recorded IQ of 34! HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?
  7. Is Tai chi fake?

    This was right before McLuhan had his last major stroke which made him unable to speak and bedridden until his death, I think on 31st December 1980 - He talks about IQ there so that's how I knew the San would have the lowest recorded IQ scores, because to understand McLuhan you have to know directly what was going on during the last ice age and that comes with the authentic ability to time travel! So the point here is TV reverses everything since the ziggurats went up in Sumer with their mathematically deterministic cosmology understood by the priestly/bureaucratic caste. There can be no civilisation as we know it without filtering thinking through the left-brain, something which was not before the invention of writing, which gives cause for abstract specialisation and disembodied virtual economies. So the formal cause is the media! -- Baudrillard, Jean. Symbolic Exchange and Death
  8. Is Tai chi fake?

    http://www.forumbiodiversity.com/showthread.php/8758-San-bushmen-have-an-average-IQ-of-54 IQ is left-brain print-press quantification i.e. Plato squared! a measure of insanity. Marshall McLuhan talks about this in one of his lectures and its particularly good because it's after he'd slowed down because of his suffering a serious stroke. I once heard a McLuhan scholar say "McLuhan is so fast no one can keep up with him."
  9. Is Tai chi fake?

    Homer says the King is really the beggar on the street everyone passes by and looks at with contempt. In Africa the lowest caste of all are the San Bushmen. They are the lowest of the low in the whole world. However, when the Bushmen talk to anthropologists they talk to them in the same manner they talk to young children. They tease and make fun of them in a friendly way and when you show them the Bible they roll around on the floor laughing. Bradford Keeney says in one of his books that one time a Chinese energy master was taken to meet with the Bushmen and when he felt the power of their energy it put him in a coma! The Bushmen have nothing to prove to anyone so it's pretty unlikely you'll be seeing a Bushmen fighting in MMA anytime soon!
  10. EDIT REMOVED LINKS SEEING AS NO ONE SEEMS INTERESTED IN THIS STUFF OTHER THAN ME!
  11. Generally after I eat my DT gets warm and it seems to me that would be a good time to meditate, but I remember reading that it shouldn't be done but I can't remember the reason why. What's the reason?
  12. Which books sit on your nightstand?

    I'm reading Babbling Corpse about Vaporwave
  13. Why shouldn't we meditate after eating?

    How do you do that and what's the benefit? Anyway, the other day when I was getting upset I was simultaneously arguing with some other guy elsewhere on the internet who was trying to fit what I was saying about war/shopping/paedophilia/transsexuals etc into his narrow leftist political paradigm. So I was pretty much telling him where to go with that. Then i said I was going to go to the countryside and mediate that's all I said but it's because I want to sit in the pine forest and do some mediating/fasting to see how that goes with developing my 3rd eye. So that fruitcake is now saying he thinks that will be a good idea for my "emotional wellbeing." That guy is really tripping hard and really irritating me at the same time. I'm not allowed to talk about alchemy because of leftist pomo political ideology, which secretly has capitalist investments lol. Well, now I've got a cold and a bit of a sore throat and I haven't meditated properly in about a week although I do breathe into the dan tian and feel it, just not for any extended time recently. Anyway, I just ate two bananas and some walnuts about 15 minutes ago. So when do you think I should mediate because I'm going to get back into it before I really screw up big time and also not get involved with other people's problems on the internet!
  14. This forum is full of post-apocalyptio-vampric abstractions whose conduit to insightful wisdom has been sucked to a withered blackened crisp by the demoniacal capitalistic nullity which obliquely pieces the defenceless void of your inanimate hearts. Anyway, I wouldn't post something if I didn't think it was helpful and then post a whole load of comments to help flesh out some of the essence of the text. Now if people didn't understand any of it I'd happily do my best to make things easier. What I'll not do is listen to a bunch of insults and jokes designed to prop up impoverished egos which ultimately have designs on attacking my life-force. I don't go around this forum questioning other people's abilities or tacitly trying to knock them down, which is what you and other people have been doing to me in various threads. I'm not interested in playing those games. There's nothing for me on this forum and I made a mistake ever coming here in the first place. This thread I posted is not a joke to me so seeing as no one is able to contribute anything worthwhile and most of you just irritate me I don't see why I should stick around. So I'd like to receive a ban, please.
  15. Anyway I'm really not interested and I'm waiting for my ban. Believe it or not I've got better things to do than argue with pretenders on the internet.
  16. How about you try reading though some of the threads I've started and look out for the insults and plain stupidity people post in the threads. You'll not find one post of mine where I insult someone without being insulted first. Not one. So you can pretend I have issues if you like but don't expect me to play along with your fantasy. Let's not pretend and rather anyone who reads this actually show me one post of mine where I started a tirade without being provoked first...
  17. If people were being humorous without all the slights plus showing me they actually knew what they're talking about then it would be a different matter. But unfortunately that's not the case. I'm not here to have a laugh and a giggle and be insulted in every thread I post.
  18. Exactly and if you read through the progression of my posts and see through to the substance behind them you'll know my experiences are genuine and authentic. I know that because everything I've written comes from direct experience and only after I've written about things have I read about them in books. So it's becoming increasingly obvious to me that I'm actually one of the better practitioners on the forum and untimely people trying to talk me down haven't even come close to the things I've achieved. People can keep talking all they want and trying to make out I'm a fantasist or concocting narratives which fit with their hidden agendas but why should I have to listen to that? Sure I admit there's loads of things I don't know, but what I do know far accedes pretty what much what 95% of the posters here know put together. I can project qi, I can take away people's pain and can visibly transform a swelled leg and other people can feel the qi I feel. How many other people here can honestly say that? So I don't see why I should have to put up with useless posts aimed at my direction or have to prove myself in every thread I post here. You can take your teapot and shove it up your ass for all I care because honestly I think you're a fucking disrespectful fool who really knows next to nothing.
  19. Literally there's not one intelligent comment other than the stuff I wrote. All the other comments are just wasting my time and energy and that pattern is pretty consistent with my experience on this forum.
  20. gendao are you on the autistic spectrum or something? ADMIN PLEASE GIVE ME A LIFETIME BAN THANK YOU I mean really just read through all the comments in this thread and try and tell me with a straight face that I'm actually the one with problems rather than the other way around. And it's not like it's just this thread either, in other threads people are calling me names saying I'm psychotic saying I'm unenlightened etc etc. I wouldn't dream of acting that way toward other people and yet when these things are directed at me all is right with the world. Well you know what I'm not buying it. I think you're all fucking retarded and I don't want anything to do with any of you. So I'll very happily take a lifetime ban. Thanks!
  21. Well that guy is always trying to find contractions in my posts, which is funny because the law of noncontraction is left hemisphere bias anyway. He'll quote a load of my posts and highlight them and then try and make out I don't really know what I'm talking about. Sure I can see where he's tripping up with understanding what I'm saying so I would have explained it to him in a nice way if he'd left out all that "secret" BS. I'm not interested in playing games, making virtual friends or joking around on forums, I'm only here to learn. If that's not possible I'll go elsewhere, it's really no big deal to me. I'm going to advance no matter what. People can pretend I'm posting nonsense if they like but I'm just not interested in playing silly games or trying to justify to people what I know. No one else whose pretty advanced has to jump through hoops to prove themselves to inferior people so I don't see why I should. It's really that simple. The PDF actually has some really high level stuff in it but judging by the replies no one is even remotely interested
  22. Go fuck youself. I've listened to enough of your bullshit in other threads. I know this might sound like a sick joke to most people on this forum, but I'm actually a serious philosopher and don't take kindly to being subjected to other people's BS. So as I said go and fuck yourself and if the admins think I'm in the wrong here, which no doubt they will, just ban me. I've learned fuck all here anyway. All my posts are just about how quickly I'm advancing and asking for help with theory which I'm not getting anyway. Honestly it's not even obvious to me most of you can even feel qi and I doubt most of you have even had a significant awakening. Sure some of you have and I'm genuinely happy for you if you've had that authentic experience. But, I seriously doubt there's more than 5 people here who can actually project qi to the level I've been able to or heal people like I did. So why should I have to put up with people asking dumb questions and calling me stupid names because they don't have the first clue what I'm talking about? Yes, you're right I don't need to listen to it. I would have no problem explaining what you're asking if you asked in a nice way, but I'm not prepared to walk you through these things when you ask in such a condescending and sarcastic tone. Especially after our previous encounters on this forum where your tone towards me is always so disrespectful.
  23. Anyway going by the "thanks" received in this thread it seems the general consensus is saying I don't really understand what I'm talking about. So I won't be wasting my time posting this kind of stuff here again. I'll just ask questions in future that way we'll all be happier! No point upsetting everyone including myself. The whole idea is ridiculously and tragically comical to me tbh. I've only read a tiny bit of the PDF and just from that I can see it's super high level. Anyway I'll edit the first post and make things easy so no one else will be subjected to my silly fantasies!
  24. The interviewee in that podcast is such a bad speaker and he has a really odd nervous cough or something. But that's the podcast I was thinking about anyway.
  25. Anyway my friend looked up "religion that ended religion" or words to that effect while he was thinking about Christianity and found that book and read it and he says it's really good. I actually listened to a podcast the other day with a guy who gets it and he was talking about the "The Four Horsemen: Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens" and saying how it's hysterical how they can't see they're just a continuation of the Protestant religion. Maybe I'll look for the podcast and post it because the way he put it made me burst out laughing, it was so funny. Actually it was my friend who posted the podcast so I can probably find it easily. Maybe this during the intro - https://expandingmind.podbean.com/e/expanding-mind-the-politics-of-divination-122916/
