  1. Traditional etiquette of sifu-student relationship?

    I was also worrying that the tea may have gotten cold.
  2. Full Moon - Friday 29th

    Interesting!
  3. Spiritual empathy! Where is the off switch?!

    Standing every morning, and a good session of belly breathing when you leave the situation and have some alone time. You must help yourself before you can help others.
  4. Has The Tao Bums become (B)anal?

    It has now.
  5. masturbation and attractiveness

    Non, The problem is that you only have the option of meeting strangers. If you join a club or something, then the girls HAVE to meet you and it's easy to talk to them. They aren't mean. They are just normal people, and most normal people think it's weird for a total stranger to come up to them...it's as if that person wants something they aren't entitled to have. No, you're totally wrong. Why are you telling me how it is when you're the one with the women problems?
  6. masturbation and attractiveness

    This is so ridiculous. Try being mean to women and see how far it gets you. Seriously...tonight go out, and be a total jerk. You will only get laid if you meet the wrong type of woman. There are many more good ones out there. They obviously aren't at the places you are looking (if you're even looking at all). Good luck.
  7. Hello

    I like your style, dude. Welcome to the forum!
  8. Jerry Alan Johnson books

    Senseikarma, I respect that you're so close to JAJ, and am glad we've communicated privately. Nice to know all of us Taoist enthusiasts are connected in some way or another. Personally (as a bystander ), I was a bit surprised when she said basically, "we are taking JAJ's students away". It was a rude way to advertise. Yet, I think she has good and big energy, and that she is motivated mostly to help and have fun. Everyone is entitled to their own way of treating others, but it seems like insulting her isn't really the right thing to do. I really doubt this will happen, but what if it hurt her feelings to the point where she committed suicide? You never know! Then all of the disagreements really pale in comparison to the reality of the situation...
  9. Jerry Alan Johnson books

    Damn, guys. Do you really need to insult her?
  10. Avatar (the movie)

    Wow, vortex, that is amaaaaaaaaazing!
  11. Want to be a moderator of The Tao Bums?

    She is great, and I can't wait for her book!
  12. tea

    I really like kukicha (Japanese twig tea).
  13. Lots of Phoenixes

    That makes a lot of sense to me. You are wise to trust your instincts, and not go ahead with something that feels wrong.
  14. Five elements test

    Wood = 9 Water = 21 Fire = 7 Metal = 13 Earth = 3
  15. Lots of Phoenixes

    I PM'd you, center888. Don't know if you got it. Basically, I said that what you have so far isn't accurate. It will be impossible to figure it out on your own. If someone who isn't a facilitator gives you their version of the instruction, it could very well be dangerous. I've heard that in the past, people in other systems have actually died or gotten seriously hurt by practicing improperly. It is easy to practice red phoenix improperly.
  16. Masturbation and Bagels

  17. Masturbation and Bagels

    Onion bagel with plain cream cheese. Hold the masturbation.
  18. Kunlun follow up poll

    It's really too bad that people who simply want to see others succeed and be safe, are thought to be "smoking" something, and money hungry... ...I say this as someone who has personally decided to stop being a facilitator. So don't assume that I'm defending my control over others.
  19. Right Brain and Tao Practice

    Beautiful.
  20. That is very nice, Niko. Hopefully it's appropriate to share the techniques here. If so, I really appreciate it.
  21. Yes I am looking forward to hearing about it!
  22. Kunlun follow up poll

    Cleaning up.
