  1. Your Experience of Standing Meditation

    Ah, Franz Bardon, yes, I have his works on my shelf as well. Hermetics are fascinating. Thanks for the link.
  2. Your Experience of Standing Meditation

    That sounds pretty cool, that elemental classification makes sense. Before I got into Daoist practice I was for a short time a member of Robert Zink's EOGD branch, long story, and I would do Israel Regardies' Middle Pillar a bunch but what you work with sounds more to my liking than that.
  3. Your Experience of Standing Meditation

    So I'm visiting my folks' place where I kept these, which is why I didn't post them before, but these are two separate pairs of shoes I used. These aren't the only ones this happened to, and some of my classmates had the same thing happen, but you can see the wear and/or holes on the part where the ball of foot meets the shoe. I, we, would grind our shoes so often and to such an extent that it literally wore down the shoes. So you could see I was being quite literal. That's our method at work.
  4. anatomical basis for meridians, is it fascia network?

    Outside of TCM and meridians though, aren't doctors and scientists still unsure what fascia is for? I believe I was reading something like that recently. Also, not too many years ago, they found something that may correspond to the Triple Burner/Heater. Whatever the case, we have so much to explore in Medicine and it would be to everyone's benefit so we can all live healthier, longer, happier lives, as opposed to investments in research or science fields that do not yield this or to the same degree.
  5. anatomical basis for meridians, is it fascia network?

    A lot of nerve and fluid circulation, not merely the blood stream but also things like lymph, pathways align with where meridians are said to be. I don't think meridians would correlate to just one thing. I mean, for instance, when doing acupuncture, the depth of the needle counts as far as what's being attempted. So at one level you might be closer to a nerve, an artery or vein, etc. Not to mention the acupoints themselves are, at least to some degree, at the skin level are they not? And while its said that a meridian corresponds to an organ, what I think is also the case is that it has to do with the flow of vitality, whether nervous system or endocrine based, according to time, since some meridians are said to be more active at various times and the body of course is also doing things each day according to time and circumstance. Although I'm not a TCM doctor, I have and read the classics plus more, including a lot of Western Anatomy texts, and have figured out a lot of this not only through the materials available but through my own experience from the inside out so to say.
  6. Days won?

    I don't know. They've all been rough years.
  7. Days won?

    Who cares? Remember the time when S1va tried to suspend me and I wrote some emails and messages outside the forum and then we all talked about it and I left for a year voluntarily anyway and then Marblehead died? Then how I came back to pay respects to him and left for another 4 because apparently no one here knows how to stand up to the CCP?
  8. Junior needs guidance

    So this is how you share information.
  9. Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day

    Indeed. It was a good day yesterday.
  10. Yes, I've seen that. They've been making comments that more and more mirror things I've been saying, saying to them among others, especially about tax money. This is something that is going to gain momentum. No point in poking fun or scoffing now, just keep an open mind and be patient because while its picking up it's not going to be forced or rushed either.
  11. Don't be so surprised. I saw the same things, before the Navy Pilots did, and how fast they move. I saw it in a way that it was unequivocal what they were.
  12. Could anyone introduce me to the basics of daoism?

    https://terebess.hu/english/tao.html Here you go. Dig in.
  13. Could anyone introduce me to the basics of daoism?

    Why would you ask strangers online instead of just reading key texts, which are free, and figuring out what you can on your own, before you find a teacher, if you want to, or can?
