the women here are diverse. i myself have attracted all sexes. gays, lesbians, and heteros. i think my incarnation here has a lot to do with learning about the different cultural stereotyped frames for gender. i am hetero but first of all - a person. i am not convinced that a western male necessarily finds his ultimate spouse for cultivation in an eastern woman. i can approve and understand both intellectually and emotionally, but i think it can reflect "an easy way out". that is you are skipping the fact that you are also genderless. you are a person. i think you are trying to postpone the final confrontation with what happens to sex when you fully accept this. you unconsciously think you are going to deflate if you're not sure you are male. you are clinging to your yang. i give diddlysquat for your links on false reports. hunduns statistics are trustwothy.

--------------------------------------------- hi taomeow, thanks for the information I have wondered about the same thing. happy to learn from you again. missed your posts. not just falun also the luo-han we are taught has a position like that, static with hand raised over head. there are accord to my grandmaster 3600 different qigong styles.

go with your gut feeling. me and a friend met a bunch of alcoholics/bums in the subway. one guy was way younger and barefeet. it was winter. he was obviously ill, but no doubt soon woud have reached an even more sinister state of helplessness due to cold, so we invited him to stay with us. Conversation, we found him some shoes and clothes, a meal, a warm bed, and we all slept soundly. we thought. next morning he excused himself for not finishing the meal, his liver couldnt take much. he had slept a little, had peed in a beer bottle afraid of waking us up flushing the loo. Then he took my hand an stared me straight in the eye and said; "lady you are crazy to do things like this. I was awake most of the night and could easily have taken advantage of you in any way. promise me you won't do this again." I know he was sincere, but what resonated in me was a picture of sad angry and desperate person playing the bad guy. if he had freaked me out though i think it would have been a different story..

I cannot leave the home life due to a vow I took for the sake of my fiance and her cultivation. If it wasn't for that vow, I would leave the home life; the sky would be my blanket and the ground my bed. Peace and Blessings, Lin ---------------------------------------------------------- I see. thank you. I was so touched by your wows to your wife. Maybe you would like to share with her this poem I found in my parents home, it's a Penguin Signet book from 1948, "100 American Poems" you seem like a man who truly contemplates your woman and would understand these words by Wallace Stevens, 1879- IT MUST BE ABSTRACT I am the spouse. She took her necklace off And laid it in the sand. As I am, I am The spouse. She opened her stone-studded belt. I am the spouse, divested of bright gold, The spouse beyond emerald or amethyst, Beyond the burning body that I bear. I am the woman stripped more nakedly Than nakedness, standing before an inflexible Order, saying I am the contemplated spouse. Speak to me that, which spoken, will array me In its own only precious ornament. Set on me the spirit's diamond coronal. Clothe me entire in the final filament, So that I tremble with such love so known And myself am precious for your perfecting.

red may equal shen.
