I have a developing hunch or hypothesis that inflammation/rashes in detoxing is usually anger leaving the body?

Well, I want to do as you suggested? So, please link us to these forums that you were referencing?? As I would be curious to know if there really ARE large segments of young, single women somewhere who are having trouble even getting any romantic interest from guys, much less dates, much less sex or even simply losing their V-cards (like many young men today)?

^^ Interesting! Are there any particularly good YouTube vids that offer a good example of or primer for the Feldenkrais Method?

Interesting, could you give a summary of what exactly "Somatics" is? And maybe a few simple examples for us to test-drive? (It wasn't very clear from the links - which talked about, but not how?)

Do those even exist? If so, could you please link us to some? I'd be curious to skim some of their challenges..lol. And if they are complaining about the boyfriends they chose...or not being able to get a boyfriend at all?

Lol, clearly this dude is a classic AFC. Previously, he used his fame and wealth as a crutch to score chicks. Which ironically only delayed his own inner development. So now he's 49, lonely and desperate-sounding - with no real relationship skills. And still a socially-awkward, clueless AFC. Sure, 50 years ago - he wouldn't even have to sink this low to try to score some babes. Simply being a rich, famous dude would have been enough. But after 50 years of progressive disempowerment of beta males - even a wealthy, famous, straight White male (supposedly the peak of power in society today) - has been reduced to a sexual beggar! So, a 26-yo girl now >>>>>> this 49-yo multimillionaire male! Grrrls Gone Wild >>> Baby Boomer Beta Males! This is why it's TRUE when they say that all the answers are really INSIDE you! Forget what the IIIuminati tries to convince you of! Chasing money, power & worldly "success" outside yourself is ultimately a wild goose chase of false idols!!

If you take a bottoms-up approach, you would need to first fill your jing & qi up before you even get to filling your shen up. So, I think it may be possible at a high level of cultivation - but that could take awhile!

^ Lol, well true - the masses generally reduce any religion down to begging magic genies for favors.. So, I think only accomplished Taoist & Buddhist masters could give us the real answers to this question. However, my take on it is that Buddhism & Taoism may both point to similar views on the true nature of reality. For example, Buddhism posits non-dual (undivided), interdependent origination... Whereas, Taoism basically posits a xiantian (non-dimensional) wuji (non-polar/dual) "Tao" that cannot be defined. Because something inherently undefined cannot be defined! This squares with a Buddhist "interdependently originated" flux that also has no inherent "baseline" definition. Both traditions also place a very heavy emphasis on "emptiness" - in both practice and theory. Which may include paradoxically "realizing you don't exist" and "rebalancing back to zero." With zero being the only xiantian non-dimensional point in our houtian dimensional plane. Well, that's just my n00by ramblings for starters! GREAT question though, I love it!!!

Lol, I'm not too convinced by the robber's gunpoint sob story or conversion.. With as much welfare as there is available in this country, there is no need to rob anyone for basic survival. And if he can afford a gun, he can't afford to get a job? And even if he was truly somehow that hard up for some quick cash to "support his family (/drug habit)," couldn't he just ask for it charitably? All considered, how is giving him $40 and rewarding this criminal behavior (robbing and likely lying) really helping him, or his next possible victim? Well, at least the intent was good though - so maybe that will leave an impression on the thief? But just hopefully not one of, "Wow, crocodile tears really pay off! I should rob & lie to more kind-hearted people!"

Dammmn, check out the crisp, snappy fajin at 1:43! This dude somehowreminds me like he's playing his body like a violin with a bow...

Well, it's still all "you," it just puts a new (more expansive) definition on your "personal self"/"you." So that you can no longer draw a hard line between "you" and anyone else (to "blame"). I mean, we "know" per non-duality teachings that "individual you's" don't really exist anyways.. So, this really just reinforces the notion that not only is it never really anyone else's fault per se...because there is not truly anyone else!

Funny, that was exactly my same hypothesis. That our DNA is affected by ancestral family karma (issues). So to repair that, you'd have to resolve issues that your family line historically suffers (not just you personally). Which means at this point, your self-healing and therapy must extend beyond just your own personal life - and into your whole family and collective family past... Yup, the fun just never ends, folks! Where (school/system?) did you learn this theory?

Exactly - "Progressive Left" is classic 0rwellian Doublespeak. Consider just the ginormous issue of GMO crops (a taboo topic in the Left [+ Right] MSM that ONLY gets covered by alternative news outlets): And what part did the "Progressive Left" play in all this? Not to mention, the Obama administration appointed a bunch of pro-GMO/Monsanto wh0res to our national food safety boards: And all of this is ultimately in support of the NW0's Codex Alimentarius to control our very bodies, health, minds & souls! Welcome to the REAL global terrorists, folks! Not cartoonish extras in turbans! The overall point here is that YES, the outdated Baby Boomer Left/Right (Mainstream) paradigm is now being replaced by the new Mainstream/Independent paradigm thanks to the digital Information Age! We no longer have to rely upon single-source, corporatized propaganda spoonfed to us by teleprompt readers through the boobtube!

Hillary Clinton recently admitted that Al Jazeera is REAL NEWS - especially when compared to American MSM diversionary op/ed's: And so is now asking taxpayers for $7 billion to step up state-sponsored American propaganda to counteract REAL news! Um, I got a better idea - why don't they just air the REAL NEWS in our country from global media like Al Jazeera and save us all $7 billion that we don't have!!!?? DUH!!

Here's a REALLY good vid of it (they actually trapped & released a live one!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQXt5pOEtEU

Interesting, could you define unconditional, undivided Clear light for me...and how it differs from the light of light/dark duality? Huh?

The Way of Qigong provides a good, broad overview of the main classes of qigong. Although, it doesn't go too far in-depth instructionally on anything... Perhaps his other material does, if you're looking more for that? He does seem to be able to explain things in a clear and level-headed manner, at least.

Well, I meant really to anyone. I mean, how do you really teach someone how to sink their qi and root? It's not a physical process that you can directly show like a golf swing.. So even without a language barrier, there's an inherent "visual" barrier there, regardless. Well, no his ukes aren't resisting, but I don't think they're actively overdoing it either.. The noticeable difference in the 2 being the much higher initial launch velocity and "bronze man" instant shearing off both feet with the more legit-looking fajins (as I've also experienced it) - vs. the more leisurely "skipping" back (and running up walls?) in the less legit-looking demos..

Totem "Power" Animals: It appears that this indestructible subconscious rat in your dream demonstrated extreme survivability & invincibility in the face of (your) conscious fear. Take home message: Surrender your conscious fears to your subconscious survival "gut" instinct. Because this may serve you well now or in the near future...

Well, I think there may be a combination here.. Like, it is well-known that there have long been both outdoor and indoor teachings (which is true in any group in any culture, to be frank). So yes, upper-level info will be withheld at the lower levels of any subject (for a variety of reasons) - just like in math or physics in school. And I suspect that the more spiritually-adept (and less concerned with money) a master becomes, he may also often become more like a fair lady who only opens herself up (emotionally & sexually) selectively to genuine, personal connections (see yuanfen, ming, jodo, etc) - rather than a cheap whore who does just anyone for the right price. Of course, this leaves many in the commodified First World frustrated with blue balls because they feel they can simply put a price tag on everything.. What, 5 dolla...no sucky, sucky??? Money can't buy everything, wtf??! The other problem is that subtle internal techniques are just inherently hard to teach. Especially when there is also a language barrier and often unconscious competence that is hard to scientifically dissect and elucidate. And even then, in this 3-part series, Michael Phillips does a great job of openly explaining all sorts of closed-door "secrets" - and downplays them as so easy to grasp that he has little old ladies in his Taijiquan class who can do them! Yet, is that even really true? If so, then where are all the vids by his students who have easily mastered all these "simple secrets?" Judging from the participants in this workshop video here, they are so ridiculously incompetent even after clear instruction that I find his downplaying hard to believe.. These people are clearly still not just simply getting it after some concise explanation.. Well at the beginning of the first vid, he states that the ability to sink qi to your dantian is one of the keys. Ok...but how many people can really even do that alone??? Well, Michael appears to be a Yang stylist and a certified Healing Tao (qigong) Instructor - so obviously he took some special outside effort to develop that skill. Which goes back to my belief that fajin is really based upon raw neigong ability - and someone who is adept in that should be able to perform it with maybe just a few pointers. Well, maybe we can get Rainbow_Vein, who ostensibly has activated her MCO to give Taijiquan a shot and see how well she fares to test this theory?

Maybe Taomeow can shoot some videos with the 3 guys she mentions...but I agree that it is possible. However, probably moreso amongst neigong masters (like at least a low-level John Djiang-type) than Taijiquan masters - since the real short/peng jin ability is entirely qi-based. As opposed to a Bruce Lee/wing chun-style 1" punch - which is still impressive, but more just well-coordinated body mechanics.. And in the qi department, neigong masters are generally far more advanced than martial arts masters...
