on the subject of ruining sleep. the first night i had a dreams about an japanese airline stewardess talking to me. but what she was saying didnt make any sense, as her sentences would stop at seemingly random times. then i woke up. the room was eerily lighted by the sky outside but the voice from the dream wasnt stopping. then i realized that it was the japanese lessions. the way i find most effective when learning is using taichi principles of just letting the information pass through you. I will use tamos cave meditation to supplement the learning i suppose. Maybe i should try sleeping on books. It seems like it would be a useful method if it worked. Im not concentrating on kanji just yet. im currently working on the speaking and listening part.

I personally like the new age movement. at least thats the section of the book stores that i visit most frequently. in my high school the new age movement was considered devil worship, so naturally the people who practiced it were made out to be crazy. it is made out to be a fad practiced by social outcasts trying to fit in. the gothic kids so to speak. the establishment often tries to make people who think for themselves look crazy people. I would say that that image of a some kid adopting the title of wizard to seem cool, persists sometimes even in otherwise open minded people. I myself avoided witchcraft for a long time while trying to sort out the jumble of thoughts and emotions that was my birthrite as a child born into a fundamental southern baptist community. My mom has always been completely accepting of my taoist practice. she had a history of yoga and always likes to learn chi kung exercises from me, but she still held the prejudice against the new age. I think she has opened to it more now. of course there are also some people who just jumped on the bandwagon and started selling new age books devoid of any real information in order to make money.

this forum has really exploded in the last year. It seems like i mostly see familiar faces posting frequently though. i think im in the 14000s or something. maybe the others just register to view the practice journals i think the equation would be around P(t)=7000*(1+2)^x with the zero year equaling 2008

the only explanation ive seen for it not being mentioned much is that taoists focus on the now. it seems like a shaky explanation to me. i assume that a lot of different options open up depending on what youre expecting. in taoism the body soul and spirit are different. I think the event we call death only affects the body. the soul and spirit are unaffected. i guess it would be the physical body. The mind/soul and the spirit/tao. "to the well prepared mind, death is just the next great adventure" -albus dumbledore

i think that the best way that ive heard it put is "nothing that is real can die" as for the disagreement between my view and grass hoppers you are only subject to reincarnation until you become enlightened enough to merge with the scource or tao. the goal of the reincarnation process is to attain wisdom. where you reincarnate too depends on whats inside you. your emotions. my view comes mainly from taoist teachers, and contemplation. I dont like pouring over ancient texts too much. zen is a combination of buddhism and taoism. unconditioned's second post seems dead on, if youll pardon the expression

i think that the real you cant die. love other than that i think most taoists suscribe to reincarnation. the taoist immortal retains an energy body and lives in the astral plane until she reaches the level where she can merge with the tao. the nothing and the everything. the way

gossamer concerning your problem, have you tried sending the man healing energy.

its important to remember that heaven is a term used to describe the universe. EX. "god created the heavens and the earth" heavens refers to space and the bodies within space. ive always thought that this is the way that heaven is used in taoist literature. when practicing chikung and gathering heaven qi it means to gather the qi in the universe. the planets can sometimes be refered to as angels or dieties. astral deva, planetar, solar angel. so heaven in this sense could have a symbolic meaning. the quoted post seems to be a good explanation.

it was the only drug ive tried since ive started practicing. i did it about a year and a half ago. i tried it once or twice. i realized that i didnt really care for drugs anymore after that. now that i think about ive still got a huge bagfull in my friends closet. i could mail it too you mal.

cool movie. i wonder if they left some parts out. like if he was familiar with the principles of the transcendental movement, and other forms of spirituality, and dedicated enough to become an ascetic wouldnt he have some kind of meditation practice as well? i dont remember the movie touching on that too much.

You can tell if something is going to destroy your computer by the file extension. the file extension appears when you view the name of the file you are downloading. ex: heartdrops.pdf the file extension tells you what type of file you are downloading what you just downloaded should be a .pdf which is an ebook usually opened with adobe. (this list is pretty general there are many other file types, i have listed the ones i can remember off of the top of my head) microsoft word documents are .doc .docx or .wps music are usually .mp3 .wma .wav movies can be .avi .mp4 .wmv images are usually .jpeg executable program files on windows are usually .exe .com .bat .cmd executable program files can harm your computer or help it. you should be very careful about downloading programs on your computer. if it says it is a different type of file but has an executable program extension then it is almost always a virus. different systems use different file extensions for program files. linux cant run .exe files normally so you are safer on linux systems in that respect. linux uses a different file extension for programs that can contain viruses but i forget what it is at the moment. wikipedia file extensions file extension library

Ok so what is a natural cure for gum disease. The kind that involves periodontal holes next to the teeth. the dentist said that it was probably from plague, gave some pills to turn plaque purple, some mouthrinse fluoride based, and said to floss more. what natural medicine can heal this. thanks.

Hey im looking into Essaic tea. Its attributed qualities are: Cures cancer Boosts immune system Boosts hormonal system Research i have found suggests that it can cure cancer, diabetes, aids, ulcers, and a number of other illnesses as well as prevent most illnesses. Though it doesnt seem to go over to well with the officials that govern such things. I would like to buy some Essaic tea but i dont know of a good scource. It seems that many people are selling fraudulent essaic tea using alternate formulas. Some do not include sheeps sorrell. I live in the united states Does anyone know of a good place or brandname that i can purchase authentic essaic tea from.

The inner smile has helped working out the kinks from kunlun. The water chakra meditation did too. Something else i have tried is laying on a tennis bell to massage the effected areas.

I agree. (ok maybe i was bashing a little bit ) My above statements were a basic summary of the ideas that were presented to me as i grew to maturity in arkansas (bible belt) It seems illogical. It seemed illogical to me at the time. I followed the examples of others and chose not to think about it. I repressed the thoughts that contradicted the logos as enforced by my parents/church officials/teachers/ superego. Inner thoughts i remember having one day after sunday school Unconditioned thought: If god loves people how can he send people to hell Conditioned thought: Because that is the way the world is. Ut: But if hes god why couldnt he create it differently Ct: He gave people a choice Ut: but people dont really have a choice they are brought up in a religion and few have the courage to change Ct: then they deserve to go to hell for not worshiping god and worshiping satan Ut: If god created everything why create satan and suffering. If god created satan doesnt that mean that god has the potential to be evil as well as good. Ct: Satan chose his own path when he rebelled against god Ut: But if god is omnipotent he has to be in control of everything, even satan. Superego: OMG!!! DOUWANT2GO2H3LL!!! THINK SUMTHING ELZ NOW!!! kthxby.

anyone tried essaic tea. it seems to be good for a lot of stuff

I do not know any muslims personally. I do have a great deal of experience from the period i spent training with southern baptists though. (very rigorous training. sometimes we would have as many as 2-3 potlucks a week. ) The basic premises of the school of thought that they held were as follows: The definition of magic: using the devils power to do something unnatural. Seances (communicating with spirits usually preformed by psychics) - The spirits are actually demons disguised as spirits. Psychics are using the devils power Witchcraft (eg the native religions of europe) - worship satan and posess powers given to them by him. Wicca (modern witchcraft religion)- appears harmless at first but when you get far enough in you see it for what it truly is (satan worship) and wish to get out but cant for fear of your life Pagan religions (farmer?) are worshiping the devil in the form of idols. Muslims worship satan Anything tied to a religion other than protestant christianity is pagan devil worship Catholics (the original christianity that protestantism draws its beliefs from) can go to heaven but only if they are saved by protestant standards. Though most southern baptists will uphold decisions made by the pope. Jews (gods chosen people according to their doctrines) will only go to heaven if they are saved by protestant standards. But you should still support israel because god will be on your side then. Chi is using the devils energy/ demons Demons and Daemons are the same thing (possibly this is from lack of research into the subject) The bible (collection of letters that was edited and compiled around 500 ad) is perfect and infallible. The united states of america was founded on christian principles (actually it was freemasonry) If science discovers something new that challenges interpretation of the scriptures science must be wrong. Science is pagan devil worship While jesus is the only perfect person, their ideas are infallible if they are supported by a bible verse, or something their preacher said one time. (this is closely related to the rejection of science) The world began 6000 years ago. All documented evidence to the contrary was planted by satan as an elaborate hoax. Dinosuars are generally accepted even though they dont fit into their timeline. I have seen them thrown into the time before the great flood. (i guess noah got lazy and missed some animals ) Carbon dating disproves this but baptists dont believe in carbon dating because all carbon was created at the same time (speechless). It also occurs to me that aquatic reptiles wouldn't be wiped out by a great flood. Its best not to think too deeply about these things. Evolution doesnt exist. Humans didnt evolve from monkeys! Darwin admitted that he didnt believe his own theory (wait what?) they ignore that the theory is perfectly logical. They discount inherited traits and phenomenon such as antibiotic resistance (direct observable proof of evolution). They prefer not to think about it. Everything in the bible is literal not symbolic. (I guess they prefer not to think about it ) You can pollute the environment and cut down as many trees as you want because the world will end before it becomes a problem. The world will end soon! This belief has been held since 1000ac God stopped speaking to people after jesus was born, with the obvious exception of everyone in the bible that god spoke to after jesus was born. Some of the newer generation believe that god does speak through an intuition like mechanism. But this isnt considered pagan devil worship, or maybe it is. Moving on. Christian rock is an oxymoron. The church seems to be divided on this issue. As far as i know they dont have a system of cultivation. They come to church on sunday, so i guess that kind of counts.

That was really anticlimactic. But seriously try Afterdawn Forum- tech support forum. Or call some local tech support people. if youve been stalked across the internet for 6 years call the police/ some sort of government agency with detectives. That has to be breaking some law.

Spider sells for thousands

Afterdawn forum Try explaining your problem to these people. they know a bit about computers. Also if someone has been pursuing you across the internet for 6 years, have you reported to the police?

Hmm 2014 (digging out my Neon Genesis Evangelion Sepcial edition DVDs) Seems to have something to do with the nag hamadi gospels

buy a zafu. It pretty much eliminates the difficulty in seated meditation postures.
