mewtwo

sometimes when doing the archer pose or the bend the bow to shot the hawk i imagine i have a bow of varying strength and am pulling it back.

So yeah i have an avatar actualy this is the first forum i have ever put an avatar on my nick. As for why i have the nick mewtwo well it was the storngest pokemon back in the day when there were only 150 now there are like 400 plus. anyways i always felt a conection to mewtwo so i adopted the nick. before i was nowen as mewtwo i was know and still am known on the imdb forums as sokar_goauld. What are your guyses stories behind your nicks.

In kung fu why is it that someone who is very much into it at first will after a while tire out and quit but the people who go at a steady pace arnt so gung ho about it last the longest in training?

I really dont want this thread to become a fight or anything like that i am hoping for some understanding. Basicaly in the past here i have come across people telling me i am doing stuff wrong and also that other people are doing stuff wrong. or that they have a different theory and that theres is correct. One example i can recall is that someone said that john chang does not have a dantien but an upper and lower field, when someone else said he had a dantien. or something like that i cant really remeber. But anyways why not try and instead of telling people there way is wrong guide them and say you can do that or this. Only tell them it is wrong if they are going to cause harm to themselves. Cause really who is to say that one way is correct or is not correct. I knew a guy up at job corps who said i am not here to judge only to observe. thanks

Twinner mabye you could make a post about your experiences there. cause i would love to here that. Cause the job corps i went to was the one in south dakota. not that many court mandated people there if any. What year did you go? i graduated about a year ago. yeah the money was funny i always thought your not in prison, then i would ask myself why are they paying me prison wages 50 cents an hour. But it was good times.

sloppy arnt you forgetting one very impressive martial artist? by the name of Bruce Lee? Both ways are accetable but i prefer the chinese way to the japanese so i would say wing chun. I pratice it right now and am loving it. Um where in the us are you located what state?

wondering what your guys thoughts were pn the conectivitedness of the two? for me they are very conected. Have i asked this before?

yeah i have read that book it is part of a trilogy on autism and spitiyuality it is what inspired me to make this and other threads on autism.

Well i would teach him or her qigong or taichi. because they are more slow and meditative. As far as the teaching goes just take it one day at a time. teaching a person with autism is very different than teaching a person without. he will have his good days and bad like anyone. But autism can make these more difficult for him. There is a saying in the autism community, when you have met one kid with autism you have met one kid with autism. because it is such a diverse syndrome. One important thing is keep it strctured and the same from day to day. like dont one day dont begin with kicking for example when you have begain with punching every other day. try stick to the same routine. I wish i could be of more help but um mabye you could post on how it is going and such and once i know more i might be able to help you more. here are some video i found on youtube about martial arts and autism. thanks. Ps might not be able to reply today cause i am going to my buddhist sangha tonight so it might be tommorow before i can reply to any more questions you have.

templetao you remind me of someone with all the understand. mind if i ask where you learned your stuff who you studied under and such?

i was wondering why i was feeling more wolfy than liony lol.

so basicaly this is part philosophy i follow and part question. always look around you for enlightened beings cause you never know the person serving youu food at your local mcdonalds might be an enlightened master and you dont even know it. So basicaly if i am correct in my thinking one can become enlightened and be the part time worker flunky at mcdonalds but all they know is how to serve you food at mcdonalds. they dont know buddhism from taoism. is my philosophy correct what do you all think?

i know people who believe they have a tail everyday.

Could someone be hypotheticaly be enlightened say at 5 oclock pm everyday but when they go to bed they "loose it" and "regain it" at 5 oclock the next day?

yeah i know that a person can have that but i am wondering could it happen to where they were enlightened fro 5 hours a day or something everyday for the rest of there life?

i wana bump this cause i am so me. i am feeling nostalgiac.

So i was wondering how many fellow bums macgyver in there spiritual practices like have instructors all the way and dont do anything with out seeking guidance? And who here does some stuff with instructors and such but kind of macgyvers there own way? And who in here totally macgyvers it all the way?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRkexJ-MBCQ macgyver in space is all i can say thanks mal good one.

wondering what is happening with me. this is not the first time i have felt this way. What i feel right now is a kind of depression but in a good way mabye a sort of compassion? if that makes any sence. it feels like material things dont matter much and that all that matters is sentiant beings. I guess the best way to explain this is i wana be one with the divine. well i know that i am one but i feel like i wana shed this phisical body. am i going through a dark night or somethign similar? If it makes any difference i just got done with a seminar workshop done by andrew harvey. he was talking about divine love and sacred activism.

It is funny you mention the sun thing see when something happenes in my life a change for instance, one way i have found to cope with said instance is to think of a fictitious charecter who has gone through the same thing cause thouse are the people i relate to the strongest. so for this thing that i am going through right now i have related myself to this person. just listening to this made me feel so much better.

thank you cow tao.

i am supirsed that no one here has any meditations or things for me. also andrew harvey left south dakota today it would be to late to contact him.

wondering what you all thought about his teachings? i got this idea cause some other thread had some posts about him. http://paldendorje.com/en/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=3

anyone else have oppinions on said teachings?

still feeling this way. anyone knows of ways to cope? i looked up the sighns i might be having a possible ego death. does one have many of these or is it normaly just one per lifeitme?
