Commodity Fetish of Folk Taoism as Late Capitalist apocalypse
voidisyinyang replied to voidisyinyang's topic in General Discussion
Probably the strangest "commodity fetish" is the Freudian argument that saving money for capitalism is based on the ability to hold in your shit. At first I thought that was some sort of joke but - you know how money is equated with manure - but then I discovered that children who are sex abused much more frequently have a condition where they hold in their shit. Why would they hold in their shit? that is the only way they can have some sort of control over their bodies - to protest their horrendous condition. So think of that sex abuse writ large - applied to the planet as a whole. Basically with capitalism and the commodity fetish - people buy food and trinkets and they store it up in their houses - without any real value or use - it just sits there and wastes away. Much like the shit in people's intestines. People should have at least 2 bowel movements a day - one in the morning and one at night. I know for me I do the active standing "moving of yin and yang" exercise to activate the bowel movement before meditating before going to sleep. So I mean - you bend the knees and when the legs start shaking it pushing your sympathetic nervous system to opposite extreme of parasympathetic relaxation - causing a spike in serotonin - and this is what activates the bowel movement. Just like "getting the shit scared out of you." - same response - a flood of serotonin. That way you are lighter to run away. But no - the commodity fetish is the opposite - see how long you can store up your shit. And why? You can't take it with you when you "run away" - when you die or flee some predator, etc. I guess people have been so domesticated that they don't need to "run" from a predator and so they don't think about death much at all. Meanwhile - International Labor Organization just put out a new report that there's about 20 million slaves in forced labor in the world right now. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/slave-made-goods-now-available-freezer-section/#.VScnHKq0ZeU.twitter This is a good new podcast story on modern forced labor slavery. It's quite common in Pakistan, Burma, Mali, India, but even in the U.S. there's forced labor. About 2/3rds of forced labor is in sex trafficking - you know those "massage parlors" with the curtains all over the windows. Forced labor right there in your city! So what's going on here? Basically modern humans are just like chimpanzees with the males as gangs of raping war-mongering shit-slinging primates. And so the commodity fetish is what? It's really a neurotic reaction as a kind of systematic post-traumatic stress disorder - people are cowering and stewing in their shit as the last possible means to have some sense of power. Of course in a sensible culture modern humans would not shit in their drinking water. Asia used to compost all their human manure. In contrast Rome shit in their drinking water and so Rome had to build huge aquaducts to bring in clean drinking water. Instead of exposing how stupid it was to shit in the drinking water - remember we can fetishize our shit and store it up in our most valuable commodity - the commode with drinking water! Yeah instead of pointing out that stupidity people are taught to rave over the genius of the aquaducts. haha. Hilarious. Yeah and then there's all the prison labor in the U.S. - privatized prisons providing slave labor for the masses. Yep - McDonald's uses prison labor! On and on. Since advertising is tax-deductible then the more we are lied to the less taxes we have for general welfare - education, healthcare, etc. It's a brilliant mind-control system. there used to be a 94% tax on the highest incomes - about above $370,000 a year in present terms - according to Richard Wolff economist. https://www.linktv.org/programs/richard-wolff-alternative-solutions-to-capitalism So with qigong - ideally you can lower your need to eat food. Qigong masters will eat just one meal a day - vegetarian - and even then fast one day a week. You know what qigong master Yan Xin said about this? That if people in the U.S. learn how to do this bigu it would cause the corporations to freak out too much about losing food business sales. Indeed - but even more so - since we live in a commodity fetish society - then even the life force energy of people are commodified. People eat fast food - lots of beef, etc. because it provides a cheap (highly subsidized agri-business) source of calories for lots of jing energy. People are judged based on whether they have strength through jing energy in the U.S. The weak are attacked while the strong are favored - the victims are blamed in the U.S. And so the weak desperately eat lots of fast food beef to build up their jing energy - or pork, etc. Meat is increasingly popular now world wide for this very reason - to compete in the capitalist commodified society because each person is a commodity that must be able to have energy to sell to the owners of the production system. the workers are fed upon. The training for qigong masters - as I mentioned requires no salt in advanced levels - besides fasting, etc. This is also found in the Amazon - the energy shamans there go on a no-salt diet and a diet high in serotonin - fish and bananas. But also Women must be UNSEEN for at least one year, preferably three. But that's considered "sexist" in the modern commodified society. Instead men need to have energy - to be "powerful" to impress the females - and so eating beef is more popular now than ever. http://www.democracynow.org/2015/4/7/cowspiracy_as_california_faces_drought_film 50% of the water use in California is from dairy and beef production. California was made into the Dairy state based on huge tax subsidies from the Reagan revolution in the 1980s - before that Wisconsin was the Dairy state of the U.S - Wisconsin has some 13,000 lakes. Now think about it - are you the weakling on the beach - getting kicked around and losing his girl? Or are you the Governor of California - a handsome Hollywood actor that becomes President - like Reagan or body-builder Arnold. In other words - just as body builders use steroids - California was artificially "pumped up" with water to make more beef to make more "manly men" - in an area that does not have that much natural water! In other words the jing energy was fetishized - and for what? for maximizing male ejaculation as dopamine addiction. Camilla Paglia's tome "Sexual Personae" based on her professorship in Classical Studies traces a closeted homosexual structure to Western civilization. The men are not real men - they are addicted to ejaculation and are fetishized as ejaculation slaves - addicted to dopamine. That's the real driving dynamic for the commodity fetish behind capitalism and so it signifies a failure in real Taoist training. So instead of focus on real celibacy you get all this "male multiple orgasm" focus - I remember when I mentioned this to someone at the University and he pointed out how popular that book was in the gay community that he was a part of. haha. https://books.google.com/books?id=s_KxhuShJSEC&pg=PA164&lpg=PA164&dq=wisconsin+was+the+dairy+state+and+now+california+is+the+dairy+state&source=bl&ots=xgGz3yuH2Y&sig=UcNFxUTstKoeGMmvQp9ZxXtiXig&hl=en&sa=X&ei=gy4nVZzmHIKCsAW28YDwBA&ved=0CD4Q6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=wisconsin was the dairy state and now california is the dairy state&f=false Sacred Bull, Holy Cow: A Cultural Study of Civilization's Most Important Animal By Donald K. Sharpes 2006. So I discovered that the word GOD has the etymological root of GOTT meaning BULL. It's amazing that Karen Armstrong's book a history of God - does not even give the etymology of the word!! Brahman also means Bull as God. Hathor was the Goddess as Cow of Egypt. And so in hunter-gatherer cultures it is the female who does the gardening because of the inherent female "yin chi" connection to Earth energy while the male is the hunter based on solar "yang chi" energy. But in Western culture the Male RAPES the EArth by doing the farming - doing the female's job - and rapes the earth using a metal plow. The intensify animal production then spreads plagues. The only way to solve the problem that arises from the raping males is for them to spread through warfare and so the genocidal cow culture spread across the earth, documented in Alfred Crosby's Ecological Imperialism book. And so - again what do we have here - intensified manure - cows produce a huge amount of shit. It "smells like money" - and the men are raping the Earth meanwhile as the "garderners" - the female job. The men have completely lost connection with their role of shamanic solar "yang qi" healers. Instead the ability to store up shit is glorified as the commodity fetish - in fact it is the secret of religion as the basis for capitalism. Capital refers to Cap as the number of heads of cattle a man owns to signify his wealth. The ultimate “commodity fetish” is money as “filthy lucre” – in other words Western civilization is based on repressed shit. Nonwestern cultures recycle shit as humanure to create sustainable organic farming for thousands and thousands of years. Doug Henwood, the structuralist economist, addresses this commodity fetish of money as shit very well: Of course civilization is based on the dopamine sex energy addiction – from alcohol, nicotine, salt, caffeine, sugar and even grains (with their high sugar and opiate levels). The issue here is the electromagnetic mind-heart energy is still stuck in the lower chakras so it is repressed and then the electromagnetic energy is subconsciously projected onto objects as an oppressive expression of this repressed lower chakra extra electromagnetic force. Since it (the electromagnetic consciousness) is stuck in the lower chakras then it is projected as sexual attraction or as fear or as anger or worry – the lower emotions. This “commodity fetish” projection is in contrast to the natural emotion of blissful peaceful love from the electromagnetic brain-heart bliss of real consciousness (the electromagnetic powers of the third eye pineal gland). 520 Doug Henwood: Wall Street: How It Works and for Whom (Verso, ), pp. 226-7. -

Commodity Fetish of Folk Taoism as Late Capitalist apocalypse
voidisyinyang replied to voidisyinyang's topic in General Discussion
The early church was tied to real alchemy training more like Sufis picked up - with fasting and solitude. But with Constantine the Church became an instrument of imperialism. The Benedictine monks picked up the anti-semitism - the eugenics of Platonic philosophy which is built into the mathematics of the philosophy. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/juliankossoff/100030163/the-pope-eichmann-and-the-nazi-ratlines/ http://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/may/25/nazis-escaped-on-red-cross-documents The Church helped some 110,00 Nazis escape. This corruption has just gotten worse - with the sex abuse scandals becoming better known. But the institutional sex abuse by the priests and nuns has not gotten much attention - the church has been used as a tool of genocidal Western imperialism. There's been several documentaries exposing church priests as sex abusers. But individual cases can always be excused and dismissed and the Church has a well documented history of covering up and protecting the priests. The problem is that the West lost the yoga tradition of how to sublimate the energy for real spiritual training. Sure there are some mystic Christian monks who did achieve mind yoga success. A good book covering some is Miracles by D. Scott Rogo. But they were basically freaks - for example St. Theresa de Avila said it's best to just stay in the monastery. In my first year of college I researched the relation of the Church and the Nazis. I had gone to a Christian high school but by the end of my first year of college I really couldn't accept the Church. My minister had wanted me to become a minister and I said that I didn't think a person needed the church to be religious. He said that actually our church was more like a country club. The qigong master shared that most christians are not spiritual. In fact I have found the exact opposite based on my energy readings - that - well things I won't share but I know when a person comes back from Church their energy has been brought down in frequency. haha. Church is much more of a meat market than anything else. Obviously people adapt their particular cultures to Christianity just as in southeast Asia the Buddhist monks go out to convert the local indigenous tribes or in Nepal there is the process of "sanskritization" for indigenous tribes wanting to be more Buddhist. http://www.amazon.com/Pre-Brahminic-Nepal-Brief-Account-Sanskritization/dp/1500154431 https://books.google.com/books?id=7m8xjpXTutEC&pg=PA237&lpg=PA237&dq=sanskritization+buddhism+nepal&source=bl&ots=yqb2ntASum&sig=xd3HC41K95YlvIM_4G91cJUx_Gg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=neQlVbe3LoGisQWQnoDgBg&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=sanskritization buddhism nepal&f=false Yeah so just like becoming Buddhist in Nepal - becoming Christian can be a way for oppressed colonized cultures or tribes to try to improve their lives. But nevertheless the overall role of Christianity is to attack the indigenous cultures - for example making the men cut their hair (which means they are homosexual in Native American culture) and then making the men farm (which is the women's work to garden). The forced schools for Indians - most of them religious - routinely had sex abuse and torture. A coworker of mine shared with me how she had attended a Catholic school - but a newer sect based on the charismatic movement - speaking in tongues, prophecy, and more focus on meditative prayer, etc. So then she went on to a Christian college but they were really a scam to take as much money as possible from the students. She was punished since she was caught in "cohabitation" and so even though she had paid already for her food the college took away her right to eat in the cafeteria. Also she had to do forced unpaid labor. The male, in contrast, was not punished at all. So there is a very severe misogyny in the church. This was also exposed in Professor David F. Noble's book "World Without Women" about the monasteries. http://www.metanexus.net/book-review/review-david-f-nobles-religion-technology-0 So then his follow up, "The Religion of Technology" ties the Church to science being apocalyptic. His final book broadened and deepened the argument - I never read that one but it was more similar to what I had been writing online. I tied it directly to the NeoPlatonic mathematics promoted by John Scotus Erigena, the 9th C. Benedictine monk. He also was against the Lunar prominence for spirituality. http://theweek.com/articles/473664/catholic-churchs-vatileaks-scandal-guide So the Church as a "sovereign" city-state has a huge corruption problem despite the supposed vow of poverty. Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia Hardcover – February 3, 2015 http://www.amazon.com/Operation-Gladio-Alliance-between-Vatican/dp/1616149744 Certainly the charity work that the Church does is better than nothing - it helps to keep people from totally starving but in contrast how much money does the Church just steal from people and then abuse the people? I'm sure there's a few Christian saints out there and certainly "liberation theology" was a movement made up of real martyrs. But yeah Slavery in the U.S. for hundreds of years was justified by the Church. NeoPlatonic philosophy as Christianity is corrupt. The Orthodox Church then got mixed up with the Nazis. Anyway you look at it - the Church overall has been misled because the philosophy it's based on is messed up. -

Well I asked Jim about Jesus being from Egypt and he said he could see where I was coming from on that. I tend to think for those willing to investigate the evidence - it would seem that Christianity is really about the Solar calendar. For example the Essenes were against the Lunar calendar. Judaism is based on the Lunar Calendar. Egypt was based on the Solar calender. And even with Easter - the problem was that it kept getting closer to Christmas since Easter was based on the Lunar calendar and the solar calender didn't take into account the leap year. So.... as it's taught in Hinduism every one needs their Ishwara that becomes a real physical being. For example Chunyi says that Lao Tzu appeared to him physically and touched his head. Now Lao Tzu means "old man" and is not considered a real person by most - but then there is also a "religion" based on Lao Tzu having a physical lineage, etc. As far as science goes - 70,000 years ago there was the supervolcano Toba Explosion and so only a few thousand humans survived and so genetically humans are much more closely related than say chimps or bonobos are to each other - they are much more diverse. So yeah I realize you have heard all this before as I have shared everything freely on my blog, etc. haha. Being very religious is considered a form of "mind yoga." It is probably the best approach I would think for the typical Caucasian for qigong training. Again maybe that is racist to say that but I got into my qigong training from the African Studies department. haha. I grew up taking religion very seriously since my grandfather was a minister but I never had any personal friends who took religion seriously until I met the qigong masters. They are the only ones I know who take religion seriously. -

Commodity Fetish of Folk Taoism as Late Capitalist apocalypse
voidisyinyang replied to voidisyinyang's topic in General Discussion
The liberal view is that somehow an objective "Escape" can be made from the problems in the world - no matter how bad a person feels about them. So people watch the news to see how bad things are with the lie that somehow they are above and separate from what is going on. For example in 1998 when I got arrested twice protesting against the pending genocidal invasion of Iraq by the U.S. - my main message to people was the the future of the U.S. is Iraq. So anyway like I said there is no escape. Mahayana Buddhist teacher Nan, Huai-chin said how it's probably not even worth meditating in modern times since it causes too much righteous anger. There's different types of anger - one type is having your heart qi energy pulled down to the level of your liver by people around you having their consciousness in their sex center. That is righteous anger. If a person has their consciousness stuck in their sex center and it gets sublimated up into their liver - against their will - then they also will get anger - but instead of it being righteous anger it is the anger of an exorcism taking place - of the evil lust energy getting pulled out of them against their will. The main form of healing that the original human culture did was actually from the spirits of the dead causing illness in the living and the main form of illness was from love sickness - from lust and jealousy from lust. So from this we can see that reincarnation is actually from the spirits of the dead attracted to the qi energy that is transmitted at mutual orgasm - and that is what powers the spirit to get sucked into the conception to create the fertilized egg that guides its growth as a new incarnated spirit. Like I said - I saw ghosts and so people who die with a lower emotional blockage then have their lower frequency that holds them to Earth and so become more quickly to reincarnate back into a life form on Earth. Ghost pollution is a bigger problem in the cities. So for example when the whites invaded the New World - the indigenous Native Americans said the real threat was from "ghost pollution" - that the whites are literally walking dead ghosts. Because since the males don't do the proper spiritual training then the human society of whites is controlled by these same lower emotions (what I call the anger-fear-lust cycle) just like the ghosts that look to take over the bodies of people when they are physically weak and/or are newly born. So if a person can not consciously feel and activate their connection to their heart - a connection that manifests through the third eye pineal gland - then the person, a typical modern person, is actually a type of ghost - as Gurdjieff said controlled by the Kundabuffer - the blockage in the lower back. It's very easy for such a person to maintain a seemingly cold detachment that appears to be above the lower emotions - this type of left-brain dominance that in actuality just represses the lower emotions instead of consciously sublimating them. So then this left-brain dominant repression of the lower emotions then projects that repression onto other cultures as an excuse to oppress them. Obviously since they, right-brain dominant shamanic cultures, are not cold, detached, rational cultures then they must be controlled by their lower emotions - when in fact through the shamanic training it is the opposite. The lower emotions are channeled and consciously exorcised and leveraged for increased energy. For example if a person is angry - then that's the perfect time to do strong physical exercise - to leverage that anger into muscle as stored electromagnetic power. That will exorcise the anger - to sublimate it, by pushing the sympathetic nervous system to the extreme but since there is no ejaculation - then it reverses to the opposite extreme of relaxation, the parasympathetic nervous system. So that is the proper use of anger that has been lost. For example the qigong master told me how when he was in Africa by the Dogon culture there was a man possessed by anger and so the tribe drummed all night and exorcised the anger into a tree, which died, and the tribe drummed the rest of the night and brought the tree back to life, exorcising the anger back into the Emptiness. What happened with the Solar Dynasty ritual priests is that left-brain meditation became dominant because it utilizes what is called the "direct path" which is the mind meditation with the left-side vagus nerve going to the right side of the heart. So if you can do a top down technique of concentrating the left mind which means that the left side of the cerebellum brain activates the vagus nerve on the left side. The left prefront cortex controls the right side of the body via the left side of the cerebellum with the left side reptilian vagus nerve going to the right side of the heart. That's why in Brahmin Jnana yoga taught by Ramana Maharshi he says to focus on the right side of the heart as the secret portal gateway to nondual consciousness Emptiness - past the physical body. So basically this enables a cold UNDEAD state of rationalism based on logical inference using right-handed technology and left-brain dominance with a closed definition of infinity - axiomatic logic of Solar Dynasty religion, "I Am that I Am." That is the opposite of the right-brain dominant ecological-based lunar-governed shamanism of Taoism and trance dance cultures, etc. So for example if a person can not be healed by this left-brain dominant energy which does not use any conscious direction of the energy - only a logical inference focus on the source of the energy - then the person died because karmically they were not ready to be healed. It is the person who was sick at fault. It is technically true, based on the cold UNDEAD logic. So Buddhism as a reform religion - for example, in Theraveda Buddhism there is the all night meditations on the full moon. But it gets to be like Christianity where the real secret of the Moon is lost - with Easter being the first Full Moon after the Equinox. And so the Vipassana meditation is actually a type of left-brain logic - in this case, "neti, neti" or "neither this, nor that" logic that is a more modern version since, like Eudoxus, you can have ratios without ever needing to define what infinity is - there doesn't have to be any positive inference of what infinity is. So that type of logic of negative affirmation is perfectly suited for Western materialistic science based on proof by contradiction. So when you have this left-brain logic mind yoga meditation like the Gelupa caste of the Dalai Lama then you are required to maintain the same caste system that the Brahmins used in India - so that the Solar dynasty ritual priests can calmly do their mind meditation while having a warrior caste protect them and keep them secluded, etc. Then the masses do the brunt physical labor in barely survivable conditions. But then having on occasion amazing demonstrations of spiritual power is enough to convince the masses that their sacrifices are worthwhile. The alchemical black smith shaman yogis were then a "vanishing mediator" between the left-brain dominant top-down mind meditation solar ritual priests and the right-brain dominant trance dance shamans. So the black smith caste utilized tantra techniques of kundalini visualization - the snake as the eternal energy - and the alchemical transformation of metal using fire. And so the blacksmith would take on the power of the reptilian energy of the crocodile or snake. Whereas the ritual mind meditation priest relied on left-brain dominant logical inference that was the "Direct path" of directly activating the reptilian left-side vagus nerve - the blacksmith shaman first builds up the foundational energy of the lower tan tien - the kundalini energy. So that is the secret of the Garden of Eden - the Tree of Life is the lower tan tien while the Tree of Knowledge is the Mind Yoga. And what does the mind meditation master teacher? Whatever you don - don't activate your tree of knowledge as kundalini energy (the snake)! In other words keep your heaven and earth separated by following the left-brain dominant religion only known by the literati, the Vedic priests or the Latin priests, etc. From that "contained" infinity teaching of axiomatic logic then arose mass sacrifice ritual mathematics for sacred geometry and that's how the blacksmith caste was controlled. Make such and such by such and such dimensions based on the ritual sacred geometry math governed by axiomatic left-brain logic. then the masses are sent off to be sacrificed based on the Big Lie. What got covered-up by this secret partnership between logic, math and the engineers - is that it is all based on music harmonics and was practiced originally as right-brain dominant trance dance training in harmony with the females doing the singing. And so instead the females now try to be like the males but the males themselves don't know how to be real men. The UnDead formless awareness that can be accessed by left-brain direct logical inference is not to be used for actually healing people - but instead it is only the secret kernel that is covered-up as the foundation for a rotten root, the surd or absurd irrational geometric magnitude math for making weapons, etc. If there are a few real shamanic healers left then they need to be incorporated into this engineering technocratic left-brain dominant framework - the goal of which is actually contained in the mathematics, and as secretly based on disharmony, as the logarithmic technology expands, so does the intensity of the pressure and tension of the technology, creating ever greater strain on the otherwise freely restoring cycles of ecology. The Machine is taking over but its trajectory was pre-determined by the math and that is the secret meaning of "predetermination" in Western religion also. There is no escape from this conundrum of the great disharmony of modern times except by understanding this larger cycle of which we participate in. Taoist alchemy is actually a physical practice that is based on harmony of heaven and earth but it has to exist within this larger framework of separation of heaven and earth. The white European culture - based on wheat farming - and left-brain dominant technology - is inherently a culture against Taoism. And yet for Taoism to survive it has to be commodified by the white European culture just as China is for the most part Westernized with people fixated on wanting the best materialistic commodities - be it nice name brand electronics or clothing or cars, etc. And so Taoism is converted into the caste system that Buddhism relied on from Vedic symmetric logic of the Brahmin priests. The training centers cater to the desires of the Westerners (or Westernized customers) - not wanting to scare away their potential customers. Training centers become tourist sites. Students are no longer selected based on their abilities but rather teachers are selected based on the customer always being right. Of course I am part of this commodified dynamic. The first thing I did when I went to see a qigong master was to ask for the price to be reduced since I was too skeptical that it was real and so I didn't want to be ripped off. haha. The qigong master Effie P. Chow agreed to cut my admission price by half. What I experienced convinced me that it was very real. And so I began researching it more. And though I had a hint of the Pythagorean basis for spiritual energy during high school it took me about 20 years to UNLEARN the lies of Western education. People can be healed and great happiness can be found but it takes time to do this. Meditation is based on staying in the same place or doing the same thing over and over whereas time is the secret source of the energy - resonance of time. Western power is based on time being accelerated while people never stay in the same place - they spread out and commodify linear space. And so - we want to judge Taoism based on Western terms but in reality the Taoist masters will always be available to help physical beings on Earth spiritually be activated - even if the human species is wiped out. In other words the secret of the Harmony of Heaven and Earth is that a spiritual master never really has to go anyway in space since they exist always-already in eternal time - as the formless awareness that is united with qi energy but also with harmonized physical energy. These "Sadguru" states - the Ishwara or whatever cosmic being people want to call it - Jesus or Buddha or Lao Tzu, etc. - is also secretly found in all of us, in everything everywhere. The sound that is creates is the OHM that comes out of the heart as a sound beyond death - from the infinite 1-4-5 music intervals. We can't see the source of these cosmic beings because in fact they are holographic and exist within us, and our own source also can not be seen - it can rather be listened to. -

There's a lot of lies about the Pythagoreans so that is part of the scam - people "think" they have studied Pythagoreans when in fact they get fed lies. So for example the Pythagorean Theorem is not from Pythagoras but actually from a lie about Pythagoras - it's from Archytas and Plato and Eudoxus. Anyway the real Pythagoreans practiced 9 years of silence. That actually is also what the Kogis do - the only intact Pre-Colombia Andean culture - or they came out of seculsion about 20 years ago. Anyway so as far as self-defense - the original humans were first the Sandawe out of the forest but then with global warming they relied on trance dance training - I'm talking 70,000 years ago - as the Bushmen culture. No war fare - but ALL the males trained to be spiritual healers and did so in retreats away from the females - one month retreats every year. Tshoma. So all the modern males don't do the proper training and so we have warfare. What's the defense of the Bushmen? They don't really have one. They got first enslaved by the Bantus who spread their iron technology - probably out of West Asia Huttites invading when they took over Egypt around 1200 BCE. so biologically we haven't changed since 70,000 years ago - it's proven that the Bushmen have the SAME trance music from before human language. And guess what? No homosexuality also. The whole culture is based on complementary opposite harmonics - the 1-4-5 music intervals as the secret of yin/yang energy dynamics. So the thing is that science has proven that white people actually are from wheat-based farming and this has spread around the world with dairy farming as "ecological imperialism" bring intensive animal plagues wiping out whole cultures, along with genocidal warfare, etc. So also science has proven that as I posted recently melanin - is from increased "dopa" which is increases dopamine. That's why if the fur color is changed of animals it also lowers their adrenaline levels and so the animal becomes domesticated - or the other way around but the same phenotype expresses the genotype. So yeah it is racist but the fact is that white people are domesticated, have lower adrenaline levels - due to Vitamin D malnutrition in the wheat based diet. This spread into Europe starting 9000 years ago and hit Sweden for example 5000 years ago. Before that Europeans were swarthy more like Asians - from a fish based diet and animal meat organs having Vitamin D. Now I'm not saying Pythagoreans are the answer - they were also a reform movement more like Buddhism in many ways. But the Pythagoreans were also shamanic with links to Asian shamanism of Mongolia and also the alchemy training of Egypt. In fact alchemy originates from the iron-black smiths as a caste found in Africa and Asia, etc. So anyway - after hanging with the qigong master who is AFrican-American - he emphasized to me that the secret to going into the Emptiness is the kidney energy. Now also the most famous Thai Buddhist meditation master said his secret was to put his students in the tiger-infested jungle so they were afraid they were going to die and they had to overcome that fear. In other words - the secret is that there needs to be a huge amount of kidney energy with the adrenaline from huge amounts of dopamine then converted to huge amounts of serotonin as kundalini bliss energy. I would say then this issue goes back 10,000 years ago - with the - what's called "symbolic revolution" in humans with an anthropocentric focus of religion as the basis for domesticating the hunter-gatherer shamanism and turning it into a Solar-focused religion. The early religions of pastoralism - like in Kenya - what's the tribe - but basically when there is an eclipse of the Sun this means that the Son will die unless a sacrifice is made - of a goat. So you can see - this is a struggle between lunar energy and solar energy. The origins of human language is based on Darwinian Deception from females using a lunar synchronized sex strike via menstruation as a signalling that there can be no sex. So then the males have to provide meat - high iron - through long distance hunting - knowing that during that time none of the females can get pregnant. Only human primates have their ovulation and menstruation completely synchronized with the moon cycle - only if they are living together in the wild. And so the oldest trance music is the Eland Bull ritual for menstruation - based on this lunar "yin chi" psychic energy where the females exposed their backsides as "female display behavior" to indicate to the newly menstruating female the power of her N/om energy. The youngest menstruating female is considered the greatest source of N/om (jing) energy. So then the female would grab hold of the male penises as they walked past her - to train them not to get blue balls. This means she was taking in their yin chi energy - absorbing it - while they maintained their physical celibacy. At the same time the male takes in the female N/om energy. In Kenya this is done through shamanic drumming as a secret initiation called "eating the female." But the males were supposed to be healing the females with the male chi energy. But some of the males went off by themselves and trained for immortality and the yang shen body - physical transmutations. And so this scared the rest of the humans - and those isolated males then developed alchemy as the focus on immortality of infinity contained internally. So then males believed they could control Nature based on the solar yang qi energy as alchemy - and from this arose the mass ritual sacrifice energy using gold and silver based on the sun and lunar energy. In reality the original humans do not emphasize any gold or silver metals - instead the focus is on the rainbow light energy as the Snake N/om energy from water power governed by the lunar resonance. So every full moon there is the all night trance dance based on the females ovulating and therefore having the greatest N/om energy and they sing all night to transmit their N/om energy into the males who trance dance to suck up the N/om energy and transmute it into Chi energy that is sent back into the females. But this can only be done properly by the males if they train in secret retreat on their own away from the females. The problem now in modern times is there is not this separation of the sexes and so the males can not store up their energy to truly fully open their third eyes so that they can then truly heal the females. And so the females rely on technology as an attempt to escape from the raping males - this was first done by female chimps using spears to get meat so they didn't have to rely on male chimps providing meat but also raping the females - if the females didn't want the meat. A meat for sex exchange. So females use technology as a means to deal with the symptom of the problem but it doesn't address the cause which is the male primates not doing the proper trance dance training away from the females. And so only the males can answer this problem but with the increased human population it is next to impossible for males to go on retreat. Certainly females were the original qigong masters since they are yang internally and the energy comes from the lunar synchronized - which if continually built up through trance dancing - then activates the Emptiness as the resonance of the lunar energy. This is why Pythagoreans teach the number 2 as female, the first matter, lunar energy but it is the resonance of Apeiron, the female Cosmic Emptiness, the Wu Chi. It's the same as the Tao Te Ching teaching. And so with modern humans based on wheat-based farming and the dominant white Western industrialization of society - in fact Machines are taking over with automation as the number 1 cause of job loss and this is all due to the logarithmic mathematics which cause a logarithmic inequality of wealth, and also create the commodity fetish based on left-brain dominance and repression of sex energy without proper sublimation, etc. And so humans are now part of a larger cycling of the elements - with fire and metal taking over against water and earth but what remains is the formless consciousness that guides the moon-sun-earth resonance. And so ecologically - some other dominant life species will emerge, like in the past it was the troodons with the biggest brain of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago and before that the Gorgons that went extinct 280 million years ago. Right now we have the fastest rate of extinction of life on earth in the billions of years of life on Earth. So science is the metaphor myth of our times - our main religion that guides us - but in fact it is the religion of the Machines being in control. So you ask for examples of trance dance 1-4-5 music intervals. http://soundingthedepths.blogspot.com/ This musicologist has traced the spread of the original human trance dance music as the basis for shamanism around the world - there are audio examples. But that's just the jing energy being expressed - the males have to do the trance dancing as the tai chi training. For example the Survivorman went to the Bushmen - again they represent 90% of human history but remain unknown by modern sophisticated humans. Les STroud did not have the stamina of the Bushmen to do the all night trance dancing and so he couldn't really activate this kundalini energy properly. Obviously if the male is young and celibate that is the best time to do the trance dance training. the Book Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality gives the details on the best training. So it is who we are ontologically. For example in many ways I have more in common with the male pet fish in our house - then the females. haha. Fish are proven to have emotions based on their neurohormones - just like mammals. Indeed biologically - this is why the snake as kundalini energy - it goes back to activating our ancient brains as the Reptilian vagus nerve is the left side vagus nerve that puts humans in the Frozen Death position. See for mammals to freeze and play dead - it is very bad evolutionary because usually the predator would just eat us. Maybe not for bears, but still. Yet that is exactly - the "motionlessly relaxed" state that has to be created to build up the parasympathetic chi energy. So you need to make sure you have a safe environment to do it. A cave, a retreat, a monastery, etc. But even having eye contact with a female will throw off the training. And yet if the training is successful then there is a permanent biologically connection via the deep heart energy past death - a trance past death!! And the Bushmen say this - that their healing requires them to transcend death. The qigong masters say the same - they put their lives on the line every day! When I went 8 days on half a glass of water and I saw ghosts and yin spirits, etc. I too had transcended death for a time being. But then I ate salt in some vegan soup and the sea salt tasted like poison. That's because the increased serotonin levels increase the ACTH which increases the potassium ion ratio in the brain - that is the secret of the electric fish charge. See when John Chang said he is the as an electric fish I took him literally and I looked up the science. haha. The original humans did not eat salt - and yet even the vegan diet does not exclude salt yet in the Taoist Yoga training manual it says for advanced level no salt. You can get sodium just from vegetables but salt is too concentrated and spikes the dopamine levels against the serotonin - the two are inversely correlated. -

Your position seems to be as a closeted fascist. http://trashtree.org/sakai.html Your position is nicely exposed here - the review of "Blood, Not Soil" book. The Green Nazi: An Investigation Into Fascist EcologyBy J. Sakai When it comes to ecological analysis modern humans, thoroughly mind-controlled, are really naive. The ecological crisis is the huge global doo-doo that we are all stepping in. There's no escape. So people can try to trump up simplistic ideologies - but it's not gonna help. Deep qigong training will help though since we need to connect, ontologically, with the truth of who we are - eternally. So you say that since Wall Street funded both Communism and Fascism - then some sort of strong militarized defense of a homeland is in order..... Obviously this is terribly Naive. It reminds me of some activist friends of mine - a naive young college kid was getting indoctrinated by this little Maoist cult, he bragged how they were storing up weapons so they would be ready for the revolution. My response was look if the U.S. wanted to they would just Nuke this neighborhood to get rid of it. Hilarious! Even more so it's literally been a miracle there hasn't been nuclear apocalypse just by accident! So this idea of rational "defense" by weapons is hilarious. In reality - when we consider big bank "funding" of both Commies and Fascists - the issue here is that money is a technology. Money is actually just mathematics enforced by the military. For example the first paper currency was invented by the Chinese - how did it have value? Enforced by their imperial military of course! haha. So same with the U.S. So then if money is a technology based on math - the problem is actually much more radical. The problem is Western mathematics ITSELF - it's based on a wrong definition of infinity and then expands using a materialistic symmetric logic - which is used as applied technology. So in the case of money - that would be the decimal or 10-based number system. See you have to really UNLEARN a lot of b.s. When we learn the Pythagorean Theorem in 10th Grade - we are mind controlled. Even more so - 1 plus 1 does not equal 2 - that is the secret of Taoism. So originally money was based on complementary opposites - silver as moon and gold as sun. We've lost that complementary opposite secret of the sun and moon. For example Easter - what's its secret? First Full Moon after the Spring EQuinox. If you practice qigong seriously you can FEEL that secret internally. haha. Modern humans are literally mind-controlled - cut off from the natural resonance of the cosmos. So.... the problem with Taoism as the Commodity Fetish - is that China was also Westernized - because Buddhism itself is a reform religion of Vedic philosophy which is based on dualistic symmetric logic!! Around 1200 BCE - iron became more valuable than silver as currency in India. Why? Because iron makes weapons and so iron is used to expand empire. Silver was the lunar energy that tied spirituality to ecology as the moon controls the water cycles of life on Earth. And so India became a materialist Solar Dynasty patriarchy.... and Buddhism was a reform religion - but nevertheless still a REFORM. It didn't cut out the rotten root. Taoism is older like the "three gunas" of India - the oldest philosophy of India from African trance dance shamanism. All human cultures use the 1-4-5 music intervals but in the West they are converted to symmetric logistic ratios as the foundation for Western math. Again the problem is very deep and so there's a lot of mind-controlled brainwashing to unlearn. So even if someone achieves enlightenment personally and is a real spiritual master who connects with real spiritual masters in heaven - when they apply that energy to Earth - they are still applying it as a reform movement on to a philosophy on Earth that is inherently destructive. In other words - it's not truly Taoist unless it actually has that real complementary opposite logic. So as I said with the Nazis it was a fake ecological worldview - that link I gave goes into it more: and This is very much true and the issue actually goes all the way back to Plato. For example the big anti-semitism in Spain in 1492 was inspired by the Benedictine Monks adopting the Platonic eugenics from the Islamic Moors - and so Platonic eugenics ascribes a ratio number to people - the value 9/8 from music theory, the whole tone, saying that each citizen must be "compromised for the good of the state" - and so the 9/8 ratio has to be converted to a logarithmic value - 9/8 cubed equals the tritone, the Devil's Interval, as the basis for the Pythagorean Theorem, the Power Axiom Set, as the foundation of the Greek Miracle, Western civilization. -

I cited Zimmerman for my masters thesis in 2000. He is not being accurate in conflating the Nazis with Ecofascism. http://reocities.com/Area51/starship/9201/epicenters/restoring-logos2.html This is the beauty and evil of propaganda - just like W. - Bush - promoted himself as a nice Texan home-boy but he secretly was based on Connecticut high-tech East Coast shenanigans - the Nazis promoted for the masses this "back to nature" Big Lie while the Nazis heavily relied on high tech focus based on international capital investment. Listen to this interview with Prof. Emeritus Peter Dale Scott about how NeoFascism works - Now more specifically it hasn't been exposed much but the fact that the Nazis were created by Wall Street was detailed by Anthony Sutton and then reiterated in a more mainstream book on the Bush Dynasty. https://books.google.com/books?id=Wty3o92hyigC&pg=PA357&lpg=PA357&dq=bush+dynasty+anthony+sutton&source=bl&ots=2IZMwxaVM3&sig=OzmJaog4l2Lyuc9HI9gU3JXEDrQ&hl=en&sa=X&ei=7ZwkVdqGFYSEsAXApoKgBA&ved=0CEwQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=sutton&f=false googlebook link. -

We are, in the U.S., mind-bogglingly mind-controlled by the corporate-state media. Let's compare a couple recent examples to contrast the U.S. imperialist food system since child slave labor cocoa was challenged as a legally mandated system to maximize profits and so "fair trade" should be voluntary. How quaint. We think of the Midwest U.S. as one of the "bread baskets" to feed the world. This is a lie. As I've stated - Cargill, the distributor of U.S. farm food, "dumps" the food in 100 countries - approximately - to drive out the small farmers in those countries, thereby making them dependent on U.S. food. If a country can not feed itself then it's whole economy can be controlled by the U.S. - oil, etc. I had this research published back in 2000. https://homelessholocaust.wordpress.com/2012/12/27/profile-on-the-largest-private-corporation-cargill/ There you go. Now let's update it. Ukraine is another "bread basket" of the world. Ukraine farmers were starved to death in order to industrialize the Soviet Union. Ukraine is being targeted again for this industrial corporate-state food system. http://rinf.com/alt-news/editorials/us-agribusiness-ukraine-and-the-plundering-of-the-planet/ So what's the alternative - small sustainable organic farms. As I said - I went to Africa and I saw this in person - a culture, the most traditional Berber village of Morocco - living off the land for thousands of years - composting their own manure - humanure to transform the desert into fertile land. Asia did this for 400 generations - thousands of years - using humanure and other natural fertilizer sources to grow food. Instead of polluting the water with manure as the industrialized West does. This is a fascinating report. http://www.grain.org/article/entries/4929-hungry-for-land-small-farmers-feed-the-world-with-less-than-a-quarter-of-all-farmland percentage of small farmers and percentage of land their control. Now - for example the upper midwest had Family Farm Laws - where to own the farm land you have to live on the land to farm it. But I actually went out to dinner with the Federal U.S. district Judge who the next day wrote the closed-room decision to outlaw these Family Farm Laws. Why? That way Cargill can directly own the farm land for vertical integration. Why? that way, like with child slavery, profits can be maximized, at the expense of ecological health. So do we hear about any of this in the mainstream media? Nope - I posted the article - the Ukraine is now being taken over by U.S. agribusiness - as part of the U.S.-backed political military coup in the Ukraine. O.K. so now for the contrast. El Salvador. http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/29670-el-salvador-farmers-successfully-defy-monsanto El Salvador is very much aware of U.S. imperialism having recently survived a U.S. fascist genocidal war - which the U.N. documented - had the U.S.-funded and trained genocidal policies committing 90% of the murders. But the Milpa farm system has survived the U.S. genocide - not only have they survived but they have recently kicked out U.S. agribusiness led by Monsanto. Go El Salvador! My brother-in-law's grandfather was a poor farmer in El Salvador. Just a few people own most of the land in El Salvador - for a U.S.-backed neocolonial export system and that was the basis for the peasants rising up in self-defense against starvation. -

voidisyinyang replied to voidisyinyang's topic in General Discussion
Dude you are a perfect example of the brainwashed mainstream fascism in this country. The main "distributor" of child-slave chocolate is Cargill, the largest private corporation in the world. You say it's "damnably complicated" and then you proceed to blame the victims of the parents of the children "looking the other way." http://www.forbes.com/profile/cargill-macmillan-1/ You say you have researched the issue. B.S.!! O.K. so the Cargill-MacMillan personal wealth is - how much? $43 Billion. So they could easily pay off the affected countries involved and still have plenty of wealth left over. It's not "damnably complicated" - the Cargill corporation has its own satellite system that it shares info with the CIA. We are talking about a plutocracy of the super rich that Congress and the media can't touch at all. Cargill is based in Minnesota and the media here just gushes over Cargill - promoting their destruction of the planet with nice liberal propaganda. One famous t.v. journalist in Minnesota tried to do an expose on Cargill but he almost got fired and so the story was squashed. Watch this documentary on child slave labor - the parents don't "look the other way" as you claim. The children are coaxed across the border and leave after being told lies - once across the border their put into heinous conditions of malnutrition and torture. They are worked to death. You find the same b.s. arguments about sweatshops also - oh they would starve otherwise - it's really a fascist contemptible position for you to take. the young females in sweatshops also have malnutrition and work in starvation conditions. It is literally also wage-slavery. Nike makes bilions in profits off that wage-slavery and so there is no reason for it to exist. Only that the 400 people who own 15% of Wall Street wealth obviously have a vented interest in maintaining their billions in wealth. That's the ONLY reason this child slavery exists - pure greed. I have personally volunteered my time to not only research these issues but to actually organize and prove with evidence that policies need to be changed. I got the U of MN to officially divest from Total Oil for using slave labor in Burma. I also got the U of MN to join the Workers Rights Consortium to boycott the heinous wage-slave conditions from the mega-profits of the sports apparel industry. I also worked at the human rights center for Latin America - and we had a restaurant as a fund-raiser - a very popular restaurant that took away profits from the Sysco slave-wage food system. and so the University bought our building and shut us down. haha. Sure I had other students help me in the activism but I was the one who founded these campaigns and I actually helped other students take them over so they could also be "leaders" but I never made any money doing this - I sacrificed any career I might have from attending the University. haha. And so - you have "researched" this? haha. B.S.!! National debt of Mali is $2.8 billion. So that is a pittance of the personal wealth of the owners of Cargill. They could change this situation overnight if they wanted. I know people who chained themselves - I know one young female who chained herself to a car to block the entrance of Cargill's headquarters. haha. I guess you could say she also "researched" this issue. You say that fair trade should be voluntary or else it will have bad results. That's the craziest mind controlled fascist statement in the world. The corporate free trade system "voluntarily" uses child slave labor. So fair trade in other words should not be the law and yet child slave labor is "voluntary."?? Nobody is kidnapped as a volunteer - so obviously to stop child slave labor you need something that is not voluntary. There' s along history of genocidal colonialism in West Africa. Before Western colonialism based on genocide - Africa was feeding itself just fine and even thrived. We all come from Africa. Have you been to AFrica and visited any communities that have been self-sufficient in feeding themselves for thousands of years? I have. So I guess I also have "researched" this issue. haha. On the contrary the WEstern modern economies have been dependent on Africans who have paid exorbitant amounts of dollars to the Western Europeans. How much wealth was given by AFrican slaves in the U.S.? Trillions of dollars. Wow the victims have the "right to sue" - against Cargill for using child slave labor to supply its cocoa! http://www.confectionerynews.com/Manufacturers/Nestle-Cargill-and-ADM-face-child-slavery-case Let's see that means some paid-off judge will get to rule on the case. Democracy in action. Meanwhile the child slavery continues and the multi-billionaires say they are following the law. Yep - child slave en masse is still legal according to Cargill!! But "fair trade" should not be enforced or else the pitiful multi-billionaires might have their feelings hurt. Hilarious! People really are brainwashed. http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/160011?sid=21106382481923&uid=2&uid=3739256&uid=70&uid=2129&uid=3739736&uid=4 The Underdevelopment of Africa by Western colonialism has been documented by Samir Amin since 1972. But the beauty of being in power is you don't have to "research" these issues and if you do "research" them it's only to patronizingly shrug them off. http://llco.org/walter-rodneys-how-europe-underdeveloped-africa-part-13/ How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. We're talking a massive loan-shark operation by the Western "development" banks. So no it's not too complicated - it's just sheer greed and slavery en masse. http://www.tni.org/article/uses-and-abuses-african-debt By the way - Cargill dumps food on Africa in order to wipe out the local farmers - to make the countries dependent on the U.S. for food subsistence - that's how a countries "Development" is then geared to slave-wage export to enrich the North - the Western parasites. So that's where my 70% of U.S. chocolate from child slave labor comes from. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/amanda-gregory/chocolate-and-child-slave_b_4181089.html So yes 70% of U.S. chocolate is based on child slave labor. Wow $5 million! That's a huge amount of cash. What a joke. thousands of child slaves. personal wealth of the owners of Cargill $42 BILLION. $5 million is what percentage of their personal wealth - of just a few people!! 0.0001 So 5 million is 1/1 millionth of their personal weath. 1/1 millionth to stop the child slavery of thousands of people. Nice "voluntary" way to fix the problem. Oh but what - "fair trade shouldn't be enforced?" haha. Slave labor is perfectly legal and a great way to make billions in profits. http://www.startribune.com/business/210630321.html people are so brainwashed they actually fall for some one like Page spewing out this B.S. I actually went to school with one of his family members. -

man - thanks for sharing that tragic-comedy edutainment of the apocalypse. Wow - it's creepy to be sure. I mean people want to be in denial about this - shark fins are focused in Hong Kong so don't say it's all Chinese.... yep that kind of misses my point big time. Hong Kong and a few other cities in China - megacities - let's say 30 million people in China eat shark fin soup. That's about 1 in 10 in the U.S. The scale in China just smothers what the scale is in the U.S. But again this is a globalized phenomenon - the Chinese currency is tied to the dollar so it is what - 6 times more valuable - so that China can export cheaply. I mean I know this is a constant debate - but what is left out is that it is largely U.S. corporations partnering with the Chinese to manufacture the exports back to the U.S. Like Kissinger sits on the Chinese national petroleum corporation. So anyway - it's like someone commenting that they heard a rumor that the Chinese government didn't like qigong master Yan Xin treating George Bush Sr. eight times at the White House and so supposedly that was a main reason to control Yan Xin - to keep him from helping out the competition too much. haha. I mean this stuff goes way beyond any nationalistic scale any more but suffice it to say changes in top down policies can have a huge effect. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=640476869429053&id=539452619531479 Walker - according to google maybe you're friend's necklace is actually Yak bone?

No - there's are all wood and one is a craving of an elephant. http://www.asianart.com/articles/thai-ivory/ Sure enough - Buddhist Ivory Bone amulets. crazy. Yep says Maitreya. Also says the Chinese are carving mammoth ivory. Crazy. http://www.orientaljadejewelry.com/pendants.htm Check out the $40 Jade Buddha pendant - the seller says they personally get Burmese jade and then manufacture it in China and sell it in the U.S. Not even mentioning the supposed sanction in U.S. against Burmese jade. Back in my activism days with the MN Free Burma Coalition we would instigate action to change their policies - but obviously it's the basis of their whole business.... No I'm not talking about particular instances of exotic species, etc. The whole economy is based on this "primitive accumulation." So 70% of U.s. chocolate is from child slavery in Africa - pretty ironic. all the kids in the U.S. gorging on child slavery chocolate without thinking twice about it - but then we do live in a super high tech sophisticated over-educated world right? HILARIOUS. Sure there's been some activism to change this and the slavery is supposedly being "phased out." Similarly with the slave labor for the metals used in cellphones, etc. Oh well - that reminds me about 10 years ago a student asked the qigong master - when he was saying to be very careful about the previous use of items we buy - so we shouldn't buy used things and so someone asked him about things made in sweatshops. He didn't answer - and presumably because he didn't know what the english were "sweatshop" meant. haha. I mean the qigong master himself was in forced slave labor for several years from the Cultural Revolution. Yeah I agree - I don't think there is any "escape" from this commodity fetish dynamic and I'm not saying Taoism as the cutting edge of it is wrong. But yeah we should at least try to be open about it to try to improve the conditions. But as you point out - the last thing people want to hear - the holier-than-thou scene - is that they are relying on exploitative products. I mean - the qigong master even said that if organic food is eaten with very bad emotions then it's actually worse than the normal toxic chemical food. I'm sure that is true - and yet I also think that the toxic chemical food does damage regardless of the emotions - like people's blood have been tested and if you eat organic then the chemicals do get much lower in the blood - carcinogenic chemicals. So - I know it's a good traditional medicine knowledge to make sure to only eat food when having good emotions. I mean we could say that organic food is just another commodity fetish except that organic food has been the traditional norm for thousands of years until the WWII "green revolution." But then like I read recently a German engineer is helping the megacities in China return back to humanure composting as ecological sanitation to be used for growing food. That is an excellent development. I think alchemy training is really based on composting emotional energy just as the best organic farming is like a permaculture. It's said in the next 50 years humans have to grow as much food as the whole history of humanity has grown. Shud be interesting. This reminds me when I was at my sister's wedding out east and an Asian-American female asked me what I thought would be the best Feng Shui for Manhattan. Now this was right after 9/11. The question was - I mean I had to say that it was a bit ironic. But then I put the same question past the qigong master and - not the Chinese one - but anyway he said that he would not question - that you never know there might be some very powerful Feng Shui to Manhattan. But anyway - he also said to me that God was creating new species all the time - as if that meant we don't need to be concerned about the ecological crisis. It was - a sort of New Age version of creationism. I didn't even want to argue with the qigong master obviously. But this is actually a New Age belief - that we don't really need to take care of the Earth since there will be an apocalyptic cleansing. There's a lot of academic analysis exposing these creepy beliefs. I have exposed a lot of it actually - even to the extent that nuclear radiation will help humanity spiritually evolve! I kid you not!! That sounds crazy until you realize that actually the NRC - Nuclear Regulatory Committee actually funded the main ecology science textbook by Odum. That's how bad off the "discipline" of ecology is - totally co-opted from the get-go. http://taocurrents.org/2012/12/30/ecology-and-activism/ An interesting blogpost researching classic Taoism for basically ecological activism lessons. So then I had to look into postmodernism because that is a big part of this. I think that really corroborates my claim for Taoism as the cutting edge of the commodity fetish. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ctr4process.org%2Fpublications%2FArticles%2FLiu_ChineseDream.pdf&ei=akojVfKbE8fvsAX51YDoDA&usg=AFQjCNH76FVpBBkbuYyEIOwdDsVY5BNk9A&sig2=-CWBT1_VUoTxrSvn5Tmy3w&bvm=bv.89947451,d.b2w&cad=rja pdf link http://monthlyreview.org/2014/11/01/the-ecological-civilization-debate-in-china/ A postmodern attempt to incorporate traditional religious views for ecological development in China.

Commodity Fetish of Folk Taoism as Late Capitalist apocalypse
voidisyinyang replied to voidisyinyang's topic in General Discussion
speaking of folk Taoism commodity fetish - so I went to my last qigong retreat a couple years ago and we received these jade necklaces for longevity. I was too tired from having to work that morning and too much previously and was in full lotus but slumped over half asleep - people wondering what the hell was going on with me. haha. The qigong master was picking up my anger about having spent too much money imo for some jade trinkets. So now I got curious - jade? Where does it come from? Jade and heroin overlapping. fascinating. http://www1.american.edu/ted/jade.htm#r5 Yep that's right - Newly mechanized highly destructive mining has enabled jade as longevity to be a new cheap trinket. Welcome to folk taoism qigong in action. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCoQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww1.american.edu%2Fted%2Fjade.htm&ei=9QQiVeOFOoLlsAWNvYG4Bg&usg=AFQjCNEfIKxBtUijZ6Pnz3IWxgqG1nhXug&bvm=bv.89947451,d.b2w&cad=rja pdf link I was co-founder of the MN Free Burma Coalition and so I organized sanctions against the military regime controlling the economy in league with Westernized industrialism using slave labor and environmental destruction. But now those sanctions have been stopped. http://www.irrawaddy.org/burma/jade-land-wasteland.html From Jade Land to Waste Land. Sure enough - a huge new Jade craze in Burma. A second Hong Kong. Yep. U.s. supposedly still bans jade from Burma - but I'm sure it can just be "laundered" through China. http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/articles/2014-03-25/myanmars-growing-and-dangerous-jade-trade This is just like Burmese slaves used for Thailand shrimp fishing - and Thailand is the number one shrimp exporter to the U.S. -
Commodity Fetish of Folk Taoism as Late Capitalist apocalypse

http://chinesemartialstudies.com/2013/03/15/david-palmer-on-writing-better-martial-arts-history-and-understanding-the-sources-of-qi-cultivation-in-modern-chinese-popular-culture/ Apocalypse may seem exaggerated. NASA has recently announced California has a year of water left - and it provides 50% of fruit and veggies for the U.S. and also exports. NASA has recently announced that Anarctica is melting way faster - and provides the main increase of sea levels - the megacities along the coasts will be underwater - it is inevitable. It maybe a lot sooner than we think. Also it's been a miracle nuclear apocalypse hasn't happened yet - as so many near misses from errors and accidents. So many other factors indicate the apocalypse but that's all just symptoms. -
Question on looking at Space between objects and eye-sight changes And: How to hear silence?
voidisyinyang replied to 4bsolute's topic in General Discussion
So this is called the Third Eye by psychologist Theodore Reik - aka proprioception by modern science - which activates ultrasound from piezoelectric pressure on the collagen. https://www.painscience.com/articles/sixth-sense.php Your inner ear connects to your pineal gland via the vagus nerve - and so for example listening to music you get the chills - this is called "frisson" aka skin orgasm (but that French term was considered too scandalous). Scientifically it means you have activated your vagus nerve from the music and thereby increased your dopamine levels. So think of getting the chills - from when we perceive the uncanny like talking about creepy ghost stories, etc. that activate our sense of space that is holographic - can bend spacetime. Essentially the pineal gland creates a white hole of holographic light that bends spacetime - non-local consciousness - when the inner ear activates the pineal gland via the vagus nerve. So what is going on is an infinite process of subharmonics and overtones - via quantum frequencies that are harmonized or synchronized by focusing on the formless awareness - the "sound of one hand clapping." So proprioception called the "sixth sense" by science - is a convergence of the senses based on their electromagnetic source. Psychophysiologically you should be able to "flex" or focus your pineal gland consciously to immediately go into a trance of the Emptiness - just by conscious self-remembering. The inner ear used to be our "inner jaw" as the "inner smile" - our tree shrew ancestors jaw is now our inner ear. So you do the inner smile by flexing the pineal gland. But if that is not done directly then the other exercises work to activate that energy. The small universe MCO is the 12 nodes along the body as the 12 harmonic notes with yin/yang as the infinite Perfect Fifth/Fourth harmonics of infinite music - called the "infinite spiral of fifths." The full lotus is the tetrahedron with each side of the triangle as the 1:2:3:4 harmonics of the Perfect Fifth/Fourth or yang/yin resonance of complementary opposites. So it's like a Klein Bottle - https://plus.maths.org/content/imaging-maths-inside-klein-bottle the energy is holographic and so the source can not be visualized spatially as formless awareness but it can be listened to. So in Buddhism it was called the inner ear method - aka Guanyin as "sound-current." http://physioworks.com.au/FAQRetrieve.aspx?ID=31501 Consider this therapeutic ultrasound device. A new one is being developed as a head set by quantum consciousness scientist Hameroff. Why? Because the ultrasound resonates the microtubules of the neurons - and the microtubules have quantum resonance of electromagnetic energy - the quantum proton superconducting energy is the alchemy source that is also non-local consciousness - it utilizes quantum coherence as quantum entanglement - faster than the speed of light signalling. So with ultrasound based on piezoelectric pressure you also have the subharmonics of the ELF waves - the 8 beats per second as the shaking of the legs. So if you do horse stance with thighs parallel to ground and then your legs start shaking - that is the ELF waves that will also create ultrasound as overtone harmonics. So then the ELF waves resonate with the Schumann resonance of the Earth's atmosphere creating lightning all the time - and so the chills felt internally as vagus nerve activation is from the extreme sympathetic nervous system (standing in horse stance till legs shaking) rebounding to the opposite extreme of relaxation parasympathetic nervous system. You get these internal chills also from walking barefoot on the ground outside - this is called Earthing and so you pick up the lightning energy that is constantly hitting Earth and so it activates your vagus nerve energy and to the yin chi energy of the Earth is neutralizing the free radicals in your body. The vagus nerve is the parasympathetic relaxation nervous system that on the left side goes down to the heart - connecting the brain to the heart - and so first you get the dopamine of vagus nerve converting to strong serotonin and the to strong oxytocin as the love bonding neurohormone of the heart. But also the serotonin increases the melatonin - of the pineal gland. Serotonin increases ACTH which increases the potassium ratios of the neurons in the brain thereby increasing the electromagnetic energy of the brain. So then with synchronization resonance of the microtubules and the neurons - these are also photon transduction signals via the cilia as microtubules - and you increase the spirit energy for holographic visions. The non-dual holographic visions bend spacetime - can see the future and can also do long distance vision. Because it is proprioception - you also get psychometry - so you pick up an object and immediately the pineal gland transduces the holographic energy - and so you can get the buzzing sensation of the vagus nerve activation which then is transduced by the pineal gland into the information contained in the object - embedded holographically by its past use. http://www.quora.com/How-can-one-visualize-4-dimensional-space This is pretty fascinating - the Klein Bottle is a 4-D object but you can visualize it in 3-D by using color as the fourth dimension! I think that is a great secret of why visualizing color is key to meditation - it's proven that visualizing color actually increases the biophotons emitted by the body. Why? Because we already are spirit light - that is our true 4-D being that we are unaware of. -
Sure U.S. debt is based on the racist war machine of imperialism - from the NeoFascist Reagan Revolution - military spending is over 50% of U.S. budget when you take into account debt payments and payments for medical costs, etc. Campbell was a big promoter of the imperial racist war machine - in this case the Nazis but the Nazis, the Communists, the U.S. are all funded by Wall St. banks. oh but the OP wanted "science" sources for Campbell - here you go: Dude was a fruit-cake with his racist Mankind Quarterly b.s. You gotta be careful with this New Agers - closeted Nazis.

http://constantineinstitute.blogspot.com/2009/06/profiles-of-americas-beloved-tv.html Joseph Campbell was a closet racist - a good example of Western New Ageism as b.s. good expose link there. be careful of Western esotericism that does not question the Platonist foundation - what I call the Rotten Root.

that link has amazing advice! the internal force section is great.

My qigong friend here said that Gary Clyman said to just go lower if you can't hold the stance and that's fine. It makes sense since when you raise up again that is what works the glute muscles. Also the Dr. Lin Taoist sex dude says the glute flexing is the secret to get the energy up the spine. So - as long as you go until the legs are shaking and that will kick your nervous system to the opposite extreme of parasympathetic relaxation - the serotonin burst - clears out the bowels but also is the kundalini energy up the spine.

Yesterday I went for my first in-person qigong master healing at http://springforestqigong.com I mean with the "original" qigong master there. I was referred to him by the qigong master who was helping me out before, the who was trained by the original qigong master. All I can say is it is a very amazing experience to have someone focus energy on you - and you feel a laser like blissful heat focused deep in your body. It is very relaxing and a deep loving energy. So then afterwards he told me where he detected blockages and that was exactly where I had felt him focus his energy with the laser-love bliss heat. So that matched up well. Now in the past I have gotten a phone healing from him - maybe more than one - but when I got the phone healing it was even deeper healing in some sense - it was a deep heart energy. But also when I got the phone healing I had fasted for three days - and so maybe that's why I felt the energy deeper and at that time he said my jing energy was very weak - obviously since I had fasted for 3 days. This time I had a couple eggs with olive oil in the morning to make sure I had some jing energy. haha. Anyway the qigong master says actually it's easier for him to do phone healings since it's more impersonal and so he picks up less superficial blockages. So again maybe that's why the phone healing felt like even a deeper heart energy. But still in person - the energy felt more focused - on specific body parts - and like I said he backed that up by explaining what he was doing. Also he said how he hadn't seen me in a while and it was nice to see me. So that was nice to have some personal interaction. Still I remember the qigong master saying how when people come to him to get healed they often want to talk but the healing really doesn't involve talking and so I just answered back to him in one word responses and didn't instigate any comments or questions. I personally reminded myself not to engage him in any conversations. I mean he started out with a questionaire that he was writing down answers on - so asked me if I had felt any pains or aches and I said no. He asked me, "How can I help you today?" So then I told him a few sentences. He said - so you need to be more centered. Anyway still I had told myself before I went into the healing - when I made the appointment that I would just keep going back until I felt I was really healed. I definitely felt better and he treated things that I didn't even know about. But still I am very sensitive to food and I get the internal tingling from any kind of sugar - like even sugar in milk or sugar in kale. So I plan to keep going in to get healings. I mean my reaction to sugar is not that unusual - since I know from my research it is the qi energy neutralizing the free radicals from the sugar. I do think I am better from the healing I received yesterday. Still I use tea tree oil as a strong anti-oxidant. I know the qigong heailngs are expensive - especially for the 25% of the population in the U.S. making a poverty wage like myself. But still - just think how mind boggling amazing it is to be able to experience something like this - a laser bliss love energy without anyone even touching you. I have had 15 years of experiences with the qigong masters - or at least going back 15 years. Actually the first qigong master I experienced was 20 years ago. Still - I have seen some amazing post-life things like ghosts and yin spirits and precognitive visions and pulling someone's spirit out of their skull and healing people - strangers thanking me, etc. So the main practical advice from the qigong master was that I should make sure to keep my shoulders lowered down when I meditate as this will help to bring my energy down in my body to center it. Other than that - I was in full lotus when the qigong master entered the room where I was waiting for him and he just said - oh just stay that like, that's perfect. haha. I know the qigong master can see inside my body, etc. I know it was 15 minutes of healing - but again it was a very amazing experience. My dreams last night were much more vivid. I had this dream about how if I could see all my past lives then how did I not know that I was not seeing my future life also - like my present life is actually a vision of a future life being dreamt by a past life. haha. I mean I have had precognitive dreams come true many times - in great detail - which just shows that our present awake state is also a type of dream. So why not my whole life as a type of dream from a past life? All I'm saying is I've had a lot of people contact me over the years about qigong with me posting about it online. There's no substitution for just actually experiencing the energy of the qigong masters. I know there are other qigong masters out there - the first qigong master I experienced was Effie P. Chow. I have not got a personal healing from her but she did fill the room with qi energy back in 1995 and had us make qi balls and I could feel a strong magnetic force pushing my hands apart. Then she blew the fuse in the room behind us, as the security guard who wandered in wondering what was going in, informed us. haha. Also I've very thank for the previous healings from the other qigong master who cleared out other blockages for me to help purify me to see the original qigong master again.
