Aetherous

I think he was momentarily knocked out by Petruzelli's punch...which can happen to anyone. Of course, if he were better he could've avoided it, maybe, but who is perfect? I don't think it means his stardom was a charade. Maybe he's not the greatest fighter in the universe of all time like some people thought, but he's not an unworthy opponent just because he got hit in the right way. That's my opinion.

Perhaps "tao bums" see everything and they've BTDT...but I'm always open to learn something new. Even if it seems to go against everything I know...it's good to realize that I don't know so much.

Yup it was from Never Back Down. The movie was pretty bad. Capoeira is awesome, and the video JackSquat posted shows a super talented guy...but I would never use those techniques in a fight.

Ableton Live Suite and a midi keyboard....hopefully I have the money for it.

FIVE THUNDER DEMON KILL SCRIPTURE! Super awesome name. Mak Tin Si please post that one!

Goldisheavy, Vajrasattva was right when he asked: L If you can't do these things and don't have that knowledge then of course you're not God. You're a human being thinking "I am God" probably because you've read some Vedanta. Someone who was truly God wouldn't feel the need to come to TTB and discuss whether or not they are God.

Yes...if you're going to go the pranayama route I recommend Light on Pranayama by BKS Iyengar. Seriously recommend it because otherwise you will hurt yourself. Here I am even giving you the direct link to get the book: http://www.amazon.com/Light-Pranayama-Yogi...1830&sr=8-1

Swimming. Front crawl for 45 mins (work your way up to it). It's not qigong but it's great.

Here's an interview with an Atlasprofilax guy who does this in the states: http://www.consciousmedianetwork.com/members/mhane.htm

Agreed. That really doesn't look like pot on the plate.

Yes, thanks for recommending The Gold Pavilion...I will check that out!

I've had some strange astral experiences...but I tend to recognize them as inner. Kind of like tripping out on drugs. A good way to see that it's not inner, is if proof manifested in physical reality. For instance: if your ascended master tells you something is going to happen. For it to be a real experience, I think that the prediction should become true and be verified by others. If it doesn't...then perhaps it was a hallucination. It's important to have it all be verified by other people, I think. People who would tend to think you're nuts if you say that you're talking to an ascended master while in deep meditation.

You would've acted effortlessly if you had not wondered whether you were acting effortlessly or not.

I have never seen good information on this. Never had any worthwhile experience in it. People who tend to have contact with ascended masters or whatever have always tended to let me down. Maybe what they say sounds really convincing, but later on I see how unstable they are as human beings...which makes me think perhaps everything they talk about is just their imagination. Just my view...I'm open to learning otherwise.

Actually I take that back! After reading it more, I see that it's a great book. I recommend buying it.

Very touching. I am so glad he found a way to share his story and help others see true inner strength. He's an inspiration to me.

Good luck.

I only see guys being guys...this is how we think, Cat. We are rational, linear, abstract. We are not like you.

If I give a shit about non-attachment so much that I stop caring about what happened in India, then I'm just deluding myself.

It does make my tongue numb, but I don't get any relaxation from it. I will try it again, and this next time consume all of it as fast as I can.

I did it this way: -5jnAghmlPE&feature=related And it didn't seem to have any effect that way, at least. What would be a better way to do it? I still have half the bag left.

Got powdered root from Kona Kava. Pointless, in my opinion.

I purchased Opening the Energy Gates of you Body. It's okay for beginners...has some good information. If I were you I'd go to a bookstore and just take some time to read it over there.

It's hard to find good teachers with good methods. Not everyone may have access to the system that you've had access to, SJ. I'm sure if they did, they'd easily find which is better.
