The system defines your dietary intake. If your system says to eat a certain whatever then that's cool but in others, they have no dietary requirements so you can eat whatever whenever and there are alot of people out there that regardless of their system can eat whatever and drink whatever and are able to convert that via internal alchemy. My training has no requirements on dietary intake, smoking or even drinking for that matter.

I should have reread my quote first and then edited it. I meant to say that the dantien can be filled like a bowl.

Food has nothing to do with chi capacity ( depending on the system). Manmade materials hinder your your gathering.

The lower dantien is an energy warehouse. People use it many different ways but that doesnt mean you can fill it like a bowl. I think depending upon your wants and needs the dantien will be viewed differently. You can sit there and say the energy is just waiting to be tapped into which is fine and true but it's more than tapping the source, it's tapping and using.

The taobums took a sudden turn towards Craigslist. I'm feeling a little strange right now. Sex ads seem a little cheap to me. I have a horse cock and have pleasured every woman I've ever been in bed with but this seems a little strange. If this is an open forum then I'm going to post about chicken fuckers and the ever illusive egg orgasm omlette. How about eating bull testicles while theyre attached to the bull? How about the pros and cons of the Cleveland Steamer? hand smacks forehead

Is this the illusive Kunlun worm that Max put's into people?

Very ancient training method. Set up four pulleys in some trees. Tie the end of each one to each ankle and wrist. Make sure you have a very sadistic martial arts master handy and have him control the pulleys and so he can force you into the splits. Center your mind after the required montage has been played, open your eyelids to reveal a fierce and concentrative gaze and rip down the pulley system. No pat yourself on the back because you my friend are ready for Kumite!

In certain systems visualizations are NEEDED and are ESSENTIAL. In other systems they are hardly ever used. This is an ongoing debate when the debate has been dead for a long time, you cant argue that they dont work or arent essential because while it's true they might not be in your system or anyone elses on the forum the fact of the matter is that there are very powerful systems that actually start you off using visuales. You use them for quite sometime actually. Nice pic, Alex is cool Who are you?

You either get immortality now or you get it later, IMO. You reincarnate as many times as it takes but sooner or later we are all going to get there. Better now than later IMO

I believe that you can reach a point in your training where you can lengthen your life if you want but ultimately you cannot be free of death, IMO, however, when you die I believe you can appear in bodily form but not exactly as you where. If that makes sense. My personal opinion of course

Immortality is freedom from reincarnation.

For the record I could be completely wrong about my prediction but I dont think so.

A national ID is the first step towards a global ID system. A world government would just take the unification of the US, Europe, Russia, China and Africa. With Obama aka Mr. Charisma in the Presidential seat it will be very easily done. The global economy sucks right now. All that's needed is for a scare or a crash in the economy and Obama can set up talks to form some kind of government for the world. All the countries might not see it as a good thing but alot will join that "union". The economy will be the reason it's formed but the unification will go beyond the economy. A global ID system and a global currency isnt far fetched. Obama said it himself, he wants to spread the wealth around. Controlling the land will be the next thing he says because he wants to be fair for to the middle and lower class. You dont have to have a revolution to have communism either. I could careless about my money just so long as I can provide for my family. I do however have a problem with people telling what to do and how to do it. It might not seem like a big deal when you talk about spreading money around to benefit everyone and having universal healthcare but what I'm saying is that it's a start to a bad bad thing. I think that if we have universal healthcare that you'll need a universal system to keep track of records, why not store them on a chip and implant them. It's already being marketed to prison systems, hospitals and schools. http://www.verichipcorp.com/ If I take a shit in a box and give it to you youd freak out because I it's shit but if you stumble upon some prehistoric dinosaur shit the entire scientific community would freak out and study it. Both are shit but ones marketed differently. Obama isnt going to come and go " Communism is the answer" , it'll be the same thing labelled and promoted in and entirely new light like maybe Compassionism.

You are adding things to what I said. I never said that a nation wide ID system was communistic. My point with all of what I said was that he is so charismatic that he will have you loving the chip he shoves up your ass in the end. The entire world will be in a communist state. The one world government that will eventually arise will take control of everything. They will control housing and farmland for example. We will all be unified into one class of people with the exception of the ones in control of course. Onto why socialism sucks. Socialism mainly sucks because you are still giving up things. For one thing, we in the US are a capitalist country and making a transition into socialism sucks. It's giving too much power to the government. You take away from the people and the government decides what needs produced and how much etc etc. Socialism also tries to pan out the money system which will get really hairy aswell, especially in a country where you have ditch diggers and people like Bill Gates. Socialism will lead to communism.

The UFO thing was a recent prediction by a supposed medium. The mayan calendar is very old and it's not the only "system" to have a 2012 prediction. I dont think 2012 is an endtimes thing but I think it will be a monumental event. If by no other reason, nothing happens, then I think that will be the end all of predictions, setting alot of people free so to speak

Impossible? Nope. A nation wide ID system was something never thought of or heard of and many people are still against it but guess what, in 2009 it begins to begin to be implemented. People also think that a draft wont ever happen but a democrat wrote and submitted the bill and a democrat is in the seat again so dont think the US wont have a draft in the next major war. As far as communism goes. Some people will recognize it for what it is but all of the other people who are in awe over Barack wont call it communism but that's what it will be but they wont have any problems going along with it. I hate to break it to you there buddy but people have been hugely misled by their leaders before. Anytime you have a fresh face who reaks, leaks and speaks nothing but charisma you have a hugely misled population. They hang on their everyword and do everything he says with no problem. The world has been forming "unions" for quite some time now so it's just a matter of when, not if, the US forms one with Canada and Mexico and a one world government is formed. The President of the US is referred to as the leader of the free world ALOT, so go figure that Obama is charismatic and will deceive and I will bet money that a union is formed following this worldwide economical problem.

Just because it's taught to you that certain way doesnt mean you cant own, tweak it, play with it, feed it and kill it. In otherwords, have fun with the techniques after you have gotten so used to them they become boring and then after you play with them so much it's no longer fun go back to the beginning and start over.

That's so incredibly ridiculously funny that I shit myself. Literally all over the place. I was wondering what happened to the "Master" himself Mr. First Name Only Mike. right back atcha kiddo

Life isnt a Steven Seagal or Van Damme movie. Remember this grasshoppa, you can pick your nose and you can pick your friends but you cant pick your friend's nose! I hope you are joking about this Pakua master

The same is said about traditional martial arts and self defense systems. Just because youre a blackbelt or an advance practitioner doesnt mean you are a certified badass. That one percent could be a gun and I dont know of anyone who can dodge a bullet or take one for that matter. As far as training with the off limits thing, the only time those thoughts go on is MAYBE in a ground situation but again, most of the people I know have no qualms with biting, poking, pinching, twisting or whatever is needed to win the fight. By people I mean the amatures I know. Another thing is that even if the only thing to go through a boxers mind was jab, cross, hook or uppercut, I'd still take the precision and timing of a boxer over some street punk or self defense system. A handful of the people that actually train in a certain martial art or self defense system are good at them, other than that it's a false sense of security.

Very interesting. Some systems use visualization while others dont at all. It just depends on how the system uses it as to whether or not it's actually effective. I would say that statement is neither correct nor incorrect. When you arent completely focused on your breathing you dont hardley even notice that you are doing it which can apply to chi aswell but I disagree, sort of, that in perfect harmony you cant feel it because there are alot of people with blockages that dont feel chi and obviously they arent perfectly balanced.

Having personally known amature boxers and kickboxers, none of them have ever had problems distinguishing between a real fight and the ring. They may have a tendency to use the techniques they train with everyday but the damage inflicted by a boxer or kickboxer with their technique alone is nothing to be laughed at. Someone who trains using eye pokes, etc may be a tad quicker at using them but it's not a noticeable difference.

The same way I know my mother makes great cookies.

I wouldnt say that just because someone trains in MMA that they become incapable of lethal force.
