I'm with you, i am. The bulky bodybuilder look is gross and non-functional. Also, the wannabe bodybuilder look (fatface meathead caveman wheyshake protein eater...lol) is pointless. I aim for something like the body of a Greek god...pretty much just lean and strong. Look at Medhi from Stronglifts (just in the picture of the video, not necessary to click play):

Pretty happy with how things are going nationwide. Colorado voted in favor of recreational marijuana!!!!!!!!

Try zhan zhuang practice with relaxed breathing. This will build qi at the lower dantien, which will help open your channels and improve circulation in the long run. Or any practice which builds qi. Kunlun method. Stillness-movement neigong. Etc.

HAHA. Yes, she is predicted to win tonight by a large margin.

Serene, Watched this today... It seems to make a good point for the electoral college...saying that it helps gives the smaller states a bit more influence than a purely popular vote would.

What happens in Kali Yuga? The answers: http://vedabase.net/sb/12/2/ edit: My opinion of these things...they are always present. Look at history around the world. The people who wrote these prophecies were most likely very aware of these types of issues in their own time. And today, we only see these things happening partially. It is incredibly easy to find examples of the opposite. Some of the rules also clearly show that we're either not in kali yuga, or that the prophecy was plain wrong. For instance, people having a maximum age of 50 years.

Drinking and using your own urine for health. I tried this for a while back in my AYP days. It had a real effect...my skin became really soft, like silk, and had a golden glow. My concern with the method is that there might be wastes or infections in the urine, which would actually worsen health when drinking. The reason why they recommend drinking only the mid stream is that it will hopefully be free of bacteria, compared to the beginning or end of the stream...that's not a very accurate method of ensuring safety. The rules about your food and sexuality are extremely important for it to work...as well as keeping it secret. But I don't think those rules lead to health, anyway...so at least personally, I'm not taking the piss these days.

Sounds good...but hopefully your lack of care doesn't manifest in the problem getting worse. I say, get a lot of information on these people without being noticed. No need to do anything to them. Knowledge is power.

Ah, totally see what you mean...and that was interesting. Yes, it's pretty much common sense that for this to be a real democracy, we must have the popular vote be the deciding factor...and that we should somehow break out of the 2 party pickle. It'd be awesome for people to vote based on individuals. That's something former governor Jesse Ventura is saying he's going to work on in 2016.

How did the founding fathers intend for a voting person to be throwing away their vote? You mean the electoral college?

Good to hear. Glad you made it to school. Sometimes it's best to just do what you have to do, and forget about your troubles.

As a white person, as well as someone who was pretty recently in the military, I can totally see the racism against blacks and even Obama in America. These days it's disguised a lot of the time as disagreement...but I know what it is at the heart of it. Not saying you are racist joeblast.

Some person (you don't know how capable they are) already has your number. Maybe your address. And you want to call them back and threaten them? When they know who you are, and you don't know who they are?

I can't agree with your stance, Taomeow...but I appreciate how much you love Taoism.

I think we all agree that each person should be allowed to get their vote in. Right? For many, that includes voting early (what's the problem with that? saved me a huge hassle this time around)...and it also includes not being able to cast multiple votes...and not having your vote thrown out. At least when I went, the elderly people working had no idea who I was voting for.

Don't do something that will land you in prison.

I sent you a private message, but apparently you didn't get it. If you hold your toes, one a time, with the opposite hand, it will help draw energy down. Spend a lot of time on that. Sleeping tonight will also help you.

Time off from practice will help...bad situations tend to make us assume that we will be stuck in that spot forever, and we have to do drastic things to escape...that is not the case. This too shall pass! Watch some comedies and find the humor again. (I suggest 21 Jump Street, but preferences differ) Exercise is a great idea. Breathing gently may help. edit to add: this is a good lesson in contentment versus peak experience. You had a peak, and then the body dropped down below normal afterward to bring balance. If you're content with whatever your situation is, you will be more balanced. Peace and contentment is the true joy...excessive joy is harmful.

This article on testosterone/leptin/intermittent-fasting is pretty great...references 74 studies!

Ejaculating up the spine is not a good thing to try to do. The process of sexual sublimation will take place naturally with spiritual practices.

I really don't think this is true. It's just commonly said regarding the West, so it's assumed to be true. Do you know how many Westerners could give a crap about fashion/sport heroes/celebrities...do you know how many try to be green, to be healthy, to give money to good causes? MOST. An example...the Kony video this past year. Do you know how many views it got in just the first 6 days after it was posted? 100 million (that is approximately 1/3rd of the total American population!). That many people with internet and youtube access (mostly Westerners I'm sure) care about something that's not fashion, sports, celebrity bullshit...that care about something in a totally foreign part of the world that doesn't even effect them directly. Hardly even indirectly. Just out of pure empathy. They felt they could make a positive impact. Again...notice that you and many others are saying things like this. You're reflecting on what's good and bad about our world and speaking your mind. That capability is a sign that we aren't living in a dark age. Knowing what's wrong is the most important aspect of changing what's wrong...and the traditional descriptions of kali yuga that I've read, say that people won't even be able to distinguish right from wrong at all. If we are in kali yuga, according to wikipedia, we're in the first 10k years of it...which is not the actual bad time. After another 5k years or so, then it will finally be dark. If the myths of the yugas were true. edit: maybe I shouldn't have said "most"...but many. You're not in a minority when you're shaking your head at the state of the world.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed.
