Hi joeblast, "Am I doing reverse abdominal breathing correctly?" - Phoenix3 At which point on/along this progression ~ can/do I position myself to answer the above question..."learn>integrate>train>progress and stall"? Can't I be stalled anywhere/everywhere along the progression and not just at the end? After a stall ~ can't I reinstall after learning? Goodnight. - Anand

Hi joeblast, Thank you. "gains" in what? Common gains to one and all? - Anand

Hi exorcist_1699, "The Chinese Buddhists and Taoists do know what it is" ~ "it is" refers to the Indian Yoga system... which entered China more than one thousand years ago? So there was a rooted Indian-Chinese tradition/amalgamation... re Indian Yogis, Chinese Buddhists and Taoists? If so ~ can we say for sure there is no yin and yang in Indian systems? - Anand

Hi joeblast, All these training pertain to ~ cultivation? ... and learning from training is a integral part of ~ experiential cultivation? But training is training and learning is learning...? Is the plateau in all of them ~ linked to the perineum... in this thread? - Anand

Hi exorcist_1699, I find your mention of hair growth interesting. Are hair aerial roots...? - Anand

Hi Spotless, Wu wei ringing ~ without personal manipulation and orchestration? - Anand

From dust to dust...

Hi Rocky, You believe in Destiny? What Does Taoism Say About Fate and Future? Is it Predetermined? *Taoist practitioners spend a lot of time coming to understand the flow of change and time. Where issues of the future, fate, choice, or prophecy are matters of guesswork or faith in most religions, it is neither within Taoism. *Knowledge of change and time is highly accurate and can be relied upon as valuable information. *Some things are predetermined and absolutely will occur. *Most events are not predetermined, but are highly likely because the influences that are bringing about the event are unlikely to change. *The I Ching is designed to instruct one on the flow of change. *It provides a model of the major influences and expressions of those influences, and is often used to reveal the future. - The Taoism for the Modern World - Anand (P.S. Who is SO?)

Hi Rocky, Try and progress faster forward naturally ~ be ONE with Nature like a reborn child and let our body not be conditioned... and expects nothing. To me this input from Spotless is grounded with experiential roots... Try not to overlook new feelings in our body. Try and sense even the slightest new feelings re a new internal energy roadmap. Try a road less traveled (good if you can have someone you can trust as a fellow traveler). Try to know your body anew... - Anand

Hi Rocky, Yes ~ the Earth revolves fast and we earthlings evolve snail-like. But from a yin-yang perspective ~ there is relative/relativity harmony/balance? To each ~ his/her/its own speed? - Anand

Hi exorcist_1699, 3 dantians + 7 chakras => almost perfect 10 amalgamations? How much do we know/understand of the "Indian system"? What are we lacking in our knowledge/understanding thus? - Anand

Period?

Hi Rocky, There is apparently Someone III... But we need only one someone... But I need/want... Why? So that my three dantians can be aligned as someONE. "... developing your middle dantian (heart), also develops and refines the upper and lower dantians too?" - Ryan94 "This is probably overly simplified and only corresponding to where i’m at and in no way a final thing. I’m still learning from earth and it is slow." - Rocky Lionmouth - Anand

No ~ I am taking a stroll with you...

Hi Daolander1, When I am given food from another culture, I just put it in my mouth and enjoy silently... and then I will show my appreciation. My favorite food ~ everyday home-cooked food. - Anand

Hi Daolander1, All cultures are colorful as they are... I perceive all cultures with the light from the sun... The sun shines brightly and not linguistically. - Anand

"Feather Life" ~ Descent - Ascent ~ Shen - Xian - Anand

Hi Nintendao, Too good to be hidden... Follow the Tao to reduce suffering? - Anand

Hi Daolander1, Not one culture ~ but cultures... Embrace/respect... for diversity. - Anand

Hi Daolander1, Thank you for the expansion. Now when I substitute 'culture as a worldview' with 'worldview of/on cultures' ~ I can quite comfortably follow your postings on this thread. It is/will be good when the world has/will become ~ a global village. - Anand

Hi Rocky, Because you are on Earth and it (r)evolves slowly? - Anand

Culture ~ yes... but re only certain part(s) of the world?

Hi Rara, Yes ~ connect the dots to make the droplets bigger... - Anand

Hi Spotless, Love Nature... understand Nature... respect Nature... protect Nature... live with Nature... and all energies will naturally start to align... ... with some self nurture? ... Sometimes I think of myself as an apple tree... it helps... - Anand
