  1. Neidan vs Qigong

    This is nice, thank you :-) When standing upright, if we let first the ankles give way, then the knees, then the pelvis, then the vertebrae one after another, then the skull, we can experience and incorporate exactly that. The sinking rises. And when sinking, we can start at the top and allow the rising to sink. It gets quite profound, standing on this planet of ours.
  2. New... Need advice

  3. The Center has no Location

    Yes, thats fine, Dear. So long as you remember that, at TTB, Michael, and everyone else, has the right to piss on whatever post they choose, so long as they do it respectfully. If you wish to assure complete adherence to your topics as you perceive them, you need to start to them in your personal practice forum. But of course you know that already.

  5. Could the Matrix movies be considered Taoist texts?

    There's a LOT of water imagery in that movie (I've only seen the first one) as I recall ...

  14. Could the Matrix movies be considered Taoist texts?

    I've always viewed the Matrix movies, and the concept behind them, as more Buddhist than Daoist. Forrest Gump is very Daoist. Wei wu wei...
  15. Daoist Art

    mmmmMMMmmm.... very nice ^^
  16. I am a Great Granddad today

    woot woot! 9lbs 11oz -- what's that in stone? About 75 pebbles, I reckon.

  20. Why Daoism over Buddhism

    Peel away everything that I'm not, and what remains, is what I am. haha :-)
  21. Grandpa learns how to 'play' on Playstation

    I see it as LCD entertainment for people with LCD expectations in life (and it was clearly fake, which makes it worse, in a way. It indicates that there's a genuine audience for this stuff).
  22. Semen retention and sexual cultivation

    Pointless? Depends on what your desired point is, I guess.
