  1. Just joined and want to say, hello.....

    Unfortunately, by trolling.
  2. Northern daoism vs Southern daoism

    It is a place for everyone. Just don't expect anyone to buy into your ideas, most already have their own and are content with that. But please, share your insights in Nei Dan and related practices. Southern, is that Nanzhong or are you heavy into inner gods meditations?
  3. Q's...ONLY Teachers may Answer.

    @GSmaster, can be contacted at Original Dao. @Spotless, hasn't posted in a while.
  4. Northern daoism vs Southern daoism

    Would that make you Mantak Chia's cousin? You know, One Cloud and his eight younger brothers, and their students... You might want to check that info again. Wang Mu? Please share 😁 Well, there is a thread especially for woke white people.
  5. A message to the moderators

    But does he know how to make a buck out of them?
  6. I just ordered it (and another translation) and printed out the Huang version. 😁
  7. The Xiu Zhen Tu locates this under the tounge, but since the tounge acts like a bridge (aqueduct, in this case), they are not in conflicts. There are several technical descriptions in this text that refers to Nei Dan, but it is interesting how seldom both translations manages to translate them in an useful way.
  8. A teacher that has his foundations within internal alchemy. He has other details which helps you to avoid problems in the long run as well.
  9. What! Are you calling us Buddhists? How dare you 😁
  10. @EmeraldHead does have a point. Take a basement-dwelling chronic fapper and turn him into än athlete. Definetly more qi!
  11. They wank off and do not exercise. 😁
  12. Since it is a big planet, maybe there is someone out there, who as an adult lives in celibacy and through physical exercise develope more prana than anyone who posts here. Why not, everything is possible. Is that the most likely outcome? I mean, for most people?
  13. How would a person build qi without this? Doesn't that kind of work out use qi. Who is sure about that? Ehm, you might want to do another litterature research.

    You will be looking in the gender gardens then, if you want some wisdom that is positive to sexual exercises. If you want some wisdom that is against, you might find that both here and there on this site. Reading up on old threads can be really fun and interesting. Use the search function: Chia and/or semen retention are good choices if you are male. If you are female, there is not as many threads on that subject outside the ladies members only area.
  15. There are some classic eye exercises in the Chinese arts. Focus close, focus distance. Shift between the two, will train the eye muscles to control the lens better. Described in one of Wong Kiew Kit's earlier books. Circle the eyes. Described in Taoist Yoga. And I am sure that smoking weed is an advantage when doing internal work.
  16. Hi! The dissolving method might be too passive in nature if you have issues related to depression, anxiety and perhaps self esteem issues. Actually, working with mental health issues is really hard, and if you are doing it without guidance from a therapist, well, even with professional help it is difficult. Personally, as someone working professionally with this, I would not recommend anyone to start with the dissolving method. I practiced it for years myself, after learning it from seminars by Bruce including what he at that time called "the most in-depth seminar he had done on the subject", so I probably didn't mis-understand it too much. I have tried it in clinical practice, and then removed it from my toolbox so to speak. The nature of (some) mental health problems is that you need to build up and follow through in order to complete, the release comes after that.
  17. But perhaps based on how we got that money? Although, with Christianity, you never know.
  18. Immortals?

    No. But obviously some daoists believe that Buddhists and Daoists that only sit in oblivion become yin shen.
  19. Immortals?

    And I am mostly trying to convey that a daoist classic on the subject do not define immortal as yang shen. The how and what of it is another thing. I do recall though that litt states that (something) will live for 10 000 years.
  20. Immortals?

    Still immortals, although lacking yang shen.
  21. Immortals?

    My bro' the Zhong says: In deep stability (samadhi), their yin spirit emerges, so they become ghosts of plain life force rather than immortals of pure yang. Since their will remains firmly unified and their yin life force never scatters, they are called ghost immortals. The description goes on with the other four forms.
  22. Immortals?

    Are you calling Zhongli Quan a liar?
  23. Immortals?

    The person can choose to shed the husk, or stay for a while and finish his/her worldly affairs. The adept can also let the foetus roam. It is described in litterature. A dead body and a shed husk are different things. Or, ar least, dying while meditating and shedding the husk are not the same. A normal person splits his/her hun/po, an immortal has a unified spirit in one or another way. Earthly immortal, living in the physical body without dying, is supposed to be a lesser accomplishment that becoming a celestial immortal who can manifest as physical but probably will not do that.
