  1. The coming economic crisis

    This may be a little OT. However, the religious movement in the U.S. is over the edge. Here is a video a friend sent me.
  2. The coming economic crisis

    Exactly why would any reasonable person want unbridled population growth? Marketing and business opportunities? Conservatives love that one. Fusion power may be just another wet dream that eats billions (USD). ralis
  3. Is Tao an Ontological Essence of Life?

    Your English is neither precise or creative. Chaotic syntax is more appropriate to describe your writing style. ralis
  4. superman neikung

    In reading your post, I have considered the possibility that one may be able to go beyond all known practices, and integrate the life force directly.
  5. Is Tao an Ontological Essence of Life?

    You can't deal with your Buddhist belief system being scrutinized? ralis
  6. superman neikung

    Doesn't the practice of magic utilize the powers of nature? I didn't think both were mutually exclusive. ralis
  7. Gulf Oil Spill & Continuous Outpour

    A very important interview with an EPA whistle blower. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4472213 ralis
  8. Gulf Oil Spill & Continuous Outpour

    Oil and water don't mix! What BP has done is use a dispersant to cause the oil to form large plumes beneath the surface where detection is almost impossible. Therefor, making it difficult to determine fines. Fines are imposed at 4300.00/ barrel. http://www.scienceprojectideas.co.uk/why-oil-water-dont-mix.html ralis
  9. Is Tao an Ontological Essence of Life?

    I have proven you wrong many times! Therefor give up the preaching! ralis
  10. Gulf Oil Spill & Continuous Outpour

    Oh great! Then you can preach the gospel of the Buddha! ralis
  11. This might be worth trying. http://www.themedguru.com/20091206/newsfeature/stare-boobs-longer-life-study-86131320.html ralis
  12. New Age Bullies

    There are a number of excellent examples of this kind of behavior on this forum. I don't have to mention names. ralis
  13. No cost long life practice.

    My original intent for creating this thread is more around the appreciation of art. Specifically the female form and appreciation of beauty. Maybe the study indicates that the appreciation of beauty can be beneficial for one's health. By studying the 'golden mean' it becomes apparent that the female form is the perfection of this proportion. Seems as if nature intended it this way. Here are some examples from Greek art. http://milan.milanovic.org/math/english/golden/golden4.html After I wrote this my girlfriend (she is an artist) reminded me that women are the originators of this form and it was the architects that stole it from them. ralis
  14. IDosing

    Just found this link. I have used binaural beats for years and this is intriguing. Anyone tried this? http://www.i-doser.com/storev3/index.php ralis
  15. If you don't know what you are looking at, then how do you infer some alchemical gold making process is or has taken place? Then you ask others to add to a puzzle that even you don't know what you are looking at? Further, any fringe theory can be added to complete the puzzle. Why is BP doing this process in the U.S. at this point in time instead of somewhere else hidden away? If BP really owned this process, there would be major funding to build a lab with very few observers. Therefor, keeping it quiet! Given the number of people involved, someone would most likely expose this scam! As I said previously, The people running BP are not that smart! ralis
  16. I am still waiting to hear exactly what Taomeow's point is. ralis
  17. Gulf Oil Spill & Continuous Outpour

    After watching this, I do wonder what BP is really up to. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x485678
  18. Is Tao an Ontological Essence of Life?

    Is there a name for this particular system? ralis
  19. The coming economic crisis

    This is going to be a real problem as BP attempts to cut it's losses. These corporations are not serving the public good! Only the bottom line! http://blog.al.com/live/2010/07/bp_buys_up_gulf_scientists_for.html ralis
  20. Is Tao an Ontological Essence of Life?

    What approach do you take for the 3rd. eye opening? Good point about the absolute! ralis
  21. IDosing

    Which ones did you try? What happened that caused you to post a warning to stay away? ralis
  22. Is Tao an Ontological Essence of Life?

    In addition to the upper dantien (3rd. eye) the heart center may have a part in experiencing these realms of light. I will explain more later when I have time. ralis
  23. Is Tao an Ontological Essence of Life?

    Thanks for a more precise explanation! ralis
  24. No cost long life practice.

    In full? ralis
  25. Is Tao an Ontological Essence of Life?

    Even if both systems use the same term or not, don't attempt to equate the two. Taoism is not Buddhism as you present it. ralis
