It doesn't matter what OS you have if you don't run spyware and have Anti-virus software. Do you think that Microsoft and his team do not have some basement somewhere where they hire top programmers to send viruses to other O/S like Linux? You got to be kidding me in this day in age. I used to be a computer programmer. Now I'm studying Chinese Medicine. Use these. They are free on the internet. Just google. They will remove all those nasty little programs in your computer that you're not aware of. Download both. Spybot Search And Destroy SpyWareBlaster Get a good Anti-virus software like norton and stay away from sites you know you shouldn't be visiting.

Thanks Smile, Never heard about the alantean/egyptian stuff before. Thats truly fascinating. I do believe the egyptians knew about this power as well. I've read some books that say, that is how they built the pyramids.

"During the hours of our heart transplant, or perhaps more accurately, the "heart implant" operation, I found myself assessing Joyce's life... All these diseases were excess yang/fire conditions - the physical side effect of accelerating spiritual growth too quickly. I went virtually blind for six months, gazing through a hazy curtain of floaters, with the sun multiplying itself ten times when I looked at it. I later cured myself with Taoist water & fire inner alchemy, which reverse mirrors Atlantean fire & water practices. I ignored a doctor's warning that I was going to go permanently blind if I didn't take heavy chemo type drugs. My retinal disease - and my developing yellow/blue color blindness - was also due to "excess yang", excess fire in my eyes. I am certain the eye disease was future karma speeded up by the Pyramid fire ceremony. For Joyce, the "speeding up" took the form of the second major car accident in her life, later in 1992 in Bend, Oregon." First off, I wish her well. Did Michael Winn have a heart transplant or did Joyce' have it? Or something else... Sorry I didn't read the whole thing. He also mentions the damages of too much Yang Fire can have on the body!!!

Never accept traditional idealogy by face value. Always question it and find out what the real reason behind it is. Some have real reasons for it, others, no legitimacy. If someone says no beef? Why not? Whats the difference between beef and chicken. They are both meat right? Yes, but beef may have more hormone altering nutrients. Eat too much in an advance stage in development and you may lose your jing. In the beginning, I would say eat what you want. In advance stages it most likely will matter. In the advance stages, your body is supposed to be in its purest form. Your body is full of yang. At this point in training, you'll probably want to avoid meat altogether. If you eat any at all, you could be releasing sperm in your sleep. You don't need to dream sex to lose it either.

According to Chinese Medicine, this is correct.

This is something I noticed when I was visiting southeast asia. Very few asians have hairloss, or balding. Most have a full set of hair and also have little to no gray hair. These are asians living in asia. Now in America, it is the opposite. Many asian americans have hair loss and gray hair. I noticed this on the airplane, as I looked across the seats. Almost all had some graying and hairloss. I noticed that after I spent 2 months living there, my hair seemed to get better. My gray hair was slowly disappearing. Hair also seemed to be growing back. After I came back to the states, my hair has started to gray and fall out again. I'm wondering if anybody has had this experience. I'm wondering if it is the water we shower in. The HOT water? In asia, I used water from the well. It was being pumped up. It was cold, if I didn't have an electric water heater to heat it. But the cold water was great in the hot summers. I do believe that a small percentage has to do with genetics, but for the most part I believe that if people take care of themselves, genetics can be overcome.

From what you know about taoism, that we have spirit body... What do you think our purpose is on the earth realm?

I also heard that this method of healing was also for the emperors warriors. When they got hurt in battle, they healed quickly from injuries.

I would say, I could believe this. But this would only be some negative energy. It wouldn't explain all negative energy, would it? What about emotional issues from bad relationships. In Chinese medicine, they say the heart is the governor of the mind. A good heart can make relationships good with others, but bad relationships can also affect the heart, and therefore, other organs, thus the imbalance in the body. What is the treatment for this?

I agree energy work may NOT save you when you have cancer. I've heard of many people who have died from cancer who have high energy. The only difference between the average person and a highly developed energy person, is the energy. The energy person has more powers, but he/she is still susceptible to illness, albeit not easily.

If it had weight and mass, I wouldn't call it a spirit. Spirits are supposed to be able to go through matter. I'd call it an unidentified physical object. UPO? lol. I used to go to church. I remember the day when the pastor said, whoever wants to be baptised come on up now. Be saved! Bla bla. I was about 10 years old. I thought what a joke. Can people really be saved through baptising? And can people really believe in something they have no evidence or proof of. I never went and got baptised so I'm not a christian. Over the years, I've seen people get re-baptised because they lost their faith and now they are back. So I had a lot of questions growing up and I didn't really believe in god. I talked and argued with pastors and I said, has god ever talked to you? Always, the answer was No! Then, how do you know he exists? They say only faith brings them. Well, I can say I was an atheists for a while after. I was still itching for the truth, until I found the Tao. I studied every religion only to find out that they all had things in common. It was like the Tao was the answer to them all. I believe it is. Here's what I believe. I never became a christian because I didn't believe in the bible. I believed jesus existed, but I did not believe in the bible. I believe jesus was enlightened, just like buddha. We all have that potential. The fact is you will never know what exactly happened in history. You need to find that enlightenment yourself. Scotty said it right. You have to experience it yourself. The christians are not wrong. They only know one part of the equation. They have faith and love. That is important in the way. They are missing the vital component of cultivation. Through faith, love, self cultivation, you will reach enlightenment. They say god can not be described. Only experienced. But he or she exists, whatever you want to call it.

Stigweard, You are using plural for spirit(s). Are you saying there are more than one Po spirit and more than one Hun spirit? or is that a typo. Just one Po Spirit and one Hun Spirit. I always thought there was one spirit body/Mind (shen) after death. If one has yang, then one becomes immortal while the others with Yin become ghosts. The ghosts wander and re-incarnate? According to Chinese Medical Texts: Ethereal Soul (Hun) refers to Liver Corporeal Soul (Po) refers to Lungs Spirit (Shen) = Ethereal Soul + Corporeal Soul + Intellect (Yi) + Will-Power (Zhi)

Here is some facts I've found out about our Water quality in the USA. Americans are becoming more aware of the contaminants in our nation's water supplies and many are installing water filters to purify their drinking water. Yet most continue to bathe and shower straight from the tap, unaware that inhaling unfiltered shower vapors (steam) is more harmful than actually drinking the water itself. During a shower, toxic chloroform evaporates into the surrounding air you breathe. In addition, The Center for Study of Responsive Law's, Troubled Water on Tap report, states that over 2,100 contaminants have been found in drinking water. Of those 2,100, 190 are known to cause adverse health effects. In total, 97 carcinogens, 82 mutagens and suspected mutagens (cause cell mutations), 23 tumor promoters and 28 acute and chronic toxic contaminants have been detected in U.S. drinking water. According to East West magazine, consumers should purchase shower head filters which remove chlorine and other contaminants to prevent exposure to chloroform [and other toxic substances]." -Center for Study of Responsive Law, Consumers Research Magazine, East West, July 1989. "A long, hot shower can be dangerous. The toxic chemicals are inhaled in high concentrations." - Bottom Line - August 1987, J Andelman, Ph. D. "We conclude that skin absorption of contaminants in drinking water has been underestimated and that ingestion may not constitute the sole or even primary route of exposure." -American Journal of Public Health, May, 1984, Vol. 74, No. 5 "Ironically, even the Chlorine widely used to disinfect water produces Carcinogenic traces. Studies indicate the suspect chemicals can also be inhaled and absorbed through the skin during showering and bathing." - U. S. News & World Report - 29 July 1991, Is your Water Safe - The Dangerous State of Your Water "Taking showers is a health risk, according to research presented last week in a meeting of the American Chemical Society. Showers - and to a lesser extent baths - lead to a greater exposure to toxic chemicals contained in water supplies than does drinking water. The chemicals evaporate out of the water and are inhaled. They can also spread through the house and be inhaled by others." - New Scientist -18 September 1986, Ian Anderson "Studies have documented the presence in the drinking water of many potentially toxic volatile organic chemicals (VOC's)- from chloroform and pesticides to carbon tetrachloride. Such findings have spurred investigations into the inhalation hazards these compounds may pose when released in the air during baths and showers. However, because shower and tub equipment, as well as other design features, differed widely in these experiments, air releases for a single VOC could vary up to 10-fold from one studied system to another." -John C. Little, Lawrence Berkeley (California) Laboratory, Science News, August 15, 1992 "The steamy air of a shower contains significant amounts of a least two cancer-causing chemicals that evaporate out of water." -J Andelman, Professor of Water Chemistry, University of Pittsburgh "Almost two decades have passed since known or suspected human carcinogens were first found in municipal water supplies. One of them, chloroform, produced by the chlorination process, exposes millions of Americans. The potential for a major public health problem is unquestionably there, and yet, progress has been slow." -Dr. Peter Isacson, M.D., Professor of Epidemiology, Department of Preventive Medicine, University of Iowa College of Medicine "Skin absorption of contaminant has been underestimated and ingestion may not constitute the sole or even primary route of exposure." - American Journal of-Public Health - Dr. Halina Brown "Showering is suspected as the primary cause of elevated of chloroform in nearly every home because of the chlorine in the water. Chloroform [a known carcinogen] levels increase up to 100 times during a ten-minute shower in residential water" - Environmental Protection Agency - Dr. Lance Wallace "I tell my friends to take quick, cold showers", said Julian B. Andelman, Professor of Water Chemistry, University of Pittsburgh, who claimed that the longer and hotter the shower, the more chemicals build up in the air. San Jose Mercury News, September 11, 1986 "Many investigators have reported on the toxicity and unexpected high penetration rates of volatile organic chemicals." -American Journal of Public Health "A Professor of Water Chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh claims that exposure to vaporized chemicals in the water supplies through showering, bathing, and inhalation is 100 greater than through drinking the water." - The Nader Report, Troubled Waters on Tap - Center for Study of Responsive Law "The National Academy of Sciences estimates that 200 to 1000 people die in the United States each year from cancers caused by ingesting the contaminants in water. The major health threat posed by these pollutants is far more likely to be from their inhalation as air pollutants. The reason that emissions are high is because water droplets dispersed by the shower head have a larger surface-to-value ratio than water streaming into the bath." - Science News-Vol. 130, Janet Raloff

Actually, if you had hair and a month later your head started to lose hair. I would say yes, it could mean a bad sign. Just like a cancer patient who gets chemo and loses hair. Its not a good sign. I'm trying to see it from a medical perspective. If I had a choice to keep my hair or lose it, I would probably keep it. If its falling out too much, I'd just shave it. I think most men shave their heads because they have thinning hair. This is for the 30's and up. The health of your hair, skin, and nails can determine your are health. I basically use this to monitor my health. I do think that, the water and diet may be factors in hairloss. For the last few weeks since I've relocated for school, I've been eating fast food for two weeks. I've just recently started to get resituated and eat healthy. Now if my hair started to grow back after I've changed my diet, water, and added other treatments like natural oil, it would definitely mean my health was imbalanced.

Teeth do regenerate, just like everything else in your body. Western doctors that think that brain cells don't regenerate are also wrong. They will all be proven wrong soon enough. The fact is knowledge has always been ahead of technology and will always be ahead of technology. Chinese medicine is so ahead of its people, that they can not believe it is real. Chinese medicine is developed by immortals. Western medicine is developed by humans. Thats the truth. I haven't been to the dentist for a long long time. And I only brush a few times a week. I use my saliva to rinse my mouth throughout the day. After a meal I rinse with water. The indians never had toothpaste. Yet, their teeth and health are probably better than most people today. The key is to stay away from SUGAR foods. If you must have it, then immediate rinse afterwards, otherwise, its going to eat your teeth. The longer the sugar is there the more its going to eat. Leave a hole big enough and you'll need to pull it out. Tooth regeneration is a slow process. Dentists are only for those that eat too much sugar. The purpose of the TAO is to return the body to prepuberty, thus, the ability to regenerate teeth.

For the non-believers, you guys can believe what you want. For those that have faith, believe me, nothing is impossible.

Please delete this post. I did not post this so that I would get negative people responding. It is not my purpose. People can believe what they want.

I've heard it all... Some say we are already immortal. I agree we are immortal (that is we were never born or died per our spirit body), however, we will die as a human being. You will go to the dirt where you came from. After you die, you will be reborn. If you are good, you'll be reborn as a human to relearn the way. If you are evil in your deeds, you will reborn as an animal after successive human rebirths since you didn't learn. What is immortality or spirit immortality, you ask? It is escaping rebirth. Do you want to be reborn into this human life where you are up and down. Happy and sad, Pain and suffering, constantly? Just think about it, you are never really happy. Even all the money you have will not make you happy. Even the beautiful wife you have will someday make you sad, because her beauty won't last. All the super rich at some point become depressed. Why? Because they don't know the way. This is all desire. There are 10,000 things to attract and lure you in. How do I know that spirit immortality exists and people have achieved it? Well, its really simple. Deductive reasoning. If a master says do this and this and this will happen, it most likely will. Perform step one correctly, and you might just open your eyes to a new world. If step 2 is done and results are achieved, do you not think step 3 is at least possible? If the TAO was not true in its teaching, it won't be around for 10,000 years. Again, I wish this post to be deleted, because the TAO was hidden for a reason. Its not meant for all. This question is obviously for a master to answer. I do not think I am so lucky to have a master post here.

Celibacy means abstaining from sex with another partner. It does not mean no self cultivation. Self cultivation can mean many things as well. Please delete this post. I realize this post was a bad idea.

StarJumper, Immortality is not about wanting sex, its about wanting to escape rebirth. So I would like to know if there were people that achieved it with a partner. Taoism started with two branches, the south and north branches. One practiced celibacy and the results were good and seen worldwide. I'm still not sure about the branch that practiced with a partner. Mantak Chia, Chunyi Li, and many of the modern western Taoists I see all have a wife and kids. Does this mean they are living immortals or are these Taoists still just practitioners in the TAO and still trying to reach immortality. Achieving enlightenment is one thing where you are illuminated with knowledge, but to achieve multiple spirit bodies is another story. I've heard of many who achieve illumination, but this is not immortality I think.

I used to think the things I saw in chinese movies were myth and legends, but I know better now. When John Chang said his finger was a laser and his palm a shot gun, it blew me away. And John Chang was only level 4. Imagine a true master that has completed all levels. I have Chi, but not at smile's level yet.

Ya MU, Sounds like what you are doing is what more advanced qiqong practitioners practice. They use their own body energy for healing. This is when needles are not necessary. Needles are really for practitioners without Chi developed. Needles can help though. I'm studying Chinese Medicine right now. From what I've heard though, many practitioners with Chi do not use their own energy on patients because it can get themselves very ill. Chen

I've also heard of others being able to see aliens after their 3rd eye was open as well. I know mine is not opened yet, but something is definitely happening.
