  1. Meat eating thread

    It becomes problematic when we discuss individual actions relating to generalities of enormous groups of individuals. Did that sentence make sense? I'm a little drunk.
  2. Meat eating thread

    I have. But not about eating meat.
  3. Meat eating thread

    Why keep the military man? That's who I thought to get rid of first, because they don't really provide anything useful to the world, like the other two.
  4. finally going to college

    Not sure what graphic design pays or how easy it is to get a job in that field...both important things to consider. You may also want to look into the different types of IT work...it can be very lucrative. Oh and...diving back into college after all that time will most likely be incredibly shocking. You can do it!
  5. I don't know why they would paste Emilie into the family picture...but apparently they did...
  6. Haha....never! I only wanted to know more about his theories on sustainable agriculture.
  7. I've been reading Harmony by Prince Charles. He has a chapter related to sacred geometry...basically says that if people are more exposed to sacred geometry, they end up making choices that are more in tune with nature. Kind of funny to think that he is proposing that we should look at more geometric designs in order to save the environment. But maybe there's something to it! It'd be nice if there were more sacred design in our every day lives... I plan on building my own house one day. I am going to make sure to design the main rooms based on the golden ratio, since it will help with acoustics (for recording music, as well as just pleasure of sound in the room).
  8. If you take out the s after http, it will embed by itself.
  9. What the Bodhisattva said

    "As Heaven lets its sun shine upon good and evil, without discrimination and also without expecting reward or advantages; so man should do good to his fellows, perform acts of rectitude, of justice, and of mercy, show benevolence and kindness toward all in an impartial spirit without cherishing ulterior motives, without hope of reward, and without desire for praise."
  10. changing one's name

    This new name will be fantastic, sir.
  11. Well I gave you a couple of links...but it's all good to agree to disagree as well. This may be true. I don't dislike everything about him, like some do. Only a few very key things.
  12. What's up with the illuminati?

    Back then they were cool...they met at pubs! These days, I don't think you're able to discuss politics or religion in a lodge. Against the rules. But maybe that doesn't apply everywhere?
  13. http://www.wdbj7.com...0,3014631.story Who really knows is this was the location and time of the next attack. Perhaps the police and superintendent had other info besides this theory. Interesting that they actually took it seriously, though!
  14. NDAA....NDRP executive order... I'm a liberal and totally non-racist. I argued against Romney during the election...but Obama is the one of the worst presidents we've ever had.
  15. Movies that make you LOL

    Laughter is healing and good spiritual cultivation. Share movies (or other sources) that you think will make other people laugh!
  16. Cultivation without ideology?

    I suppose this point of view is as the Taoists say, "superior virtue". And then cultivating in the sense of planting, growing, and harvesting (of ideas and feelings) would be "inferior virtue".
  17. Hey, good form of therapy. Did you learn through Upledger? Welcome to the forum!
  18. Cultivation without ideology?

    If you don't have ideology, what are you cultivating?

  20. Clearing my book shelf

    Just a friendly tip...you might want to back all of those up in case you're ever wanting the reference again.
  21. I'd rather not get into myself aside from what I said, which is fully true. Just consider that Jenny Lamb calls it "qigong for self healing". If you don't mix it with any other methods, it really does that. But I am not at all interested in "selling" these methods here...so I'm done. I apologize for being brief...
  22. Well, at least personally it has tended to balance my negative kundalini symptoms completely. But caution is good; not necessarily disagreeing with you TI.
  23. Yup, what you quoted. That practice causes energy to descend without trying...sometimes when I practiced, it caused my feet to become red hot. Over a long period of time, you will find that the practice has healed you. It doesn't happen immediately. That is one option...just throwing that out there...doesn't matter to me what you're led to and what you choose to do, that is your path. This is why I've recommended the "cultivating heartfulness" book in my signature over and over. It does this if you study and practice a lot.
