  3. mantak chia retreat

    http://www.stemcellnaturaltherapy.com/ Check out the new improvements in stem cell therapy The retreats are just GREAT - everyone i knew that went there said it was just awsome, both in worldly and unworldly matters, so to speak. Also the prices are moderate. And then of course there are people that aren't prepared for it, or it's just not their path in life. They will not be content. Good luck!
  4. Confucian Qi gong

    very interesting look here too http://beijingmuseum.gov.cn/qigong/history/75532.shtml
  5. Encounters with the Nagual

    CC would tell you that you worry too much about yourself that's why you seem to care so much, too much about others - people you dont even know, and about which you have heard only stories he could not have manufactured those books that kind of a feat is just impossible it's not fiction
  6. is reserving jing even necessary?

    Listen people, it all depends on the individual, if the guy has the sexual strength of a bull, it's one thing. If he's to tired even to masturbate, it's another thing. Jing related practices work with levels beyound just reserving jing. They generally work with the integration between jing, qi and shen. There is a lot of Chinese-type strategy involved, and they usually don't make general assumptions. Think in much larger terms when reffering to these matters, or you will just get stuck. It's like in the '80's when everybody was a karate expert... LOLZ Remember the teenage karate movies - how far they were from the original spirit of martial arts.
  7. John Changs 1st Westener Student

    i think what mjjbecker is trying to say is that: - the concepts of I DESERVE, I WANT, I HAVE A RIGHT TO, don't apply to these matters. - they either happen to you or not. - everyone has an OPPORTUNITY to evolve until some stage of the evolution is acheived... - but that doesn't mean that stories like the ones of Wang Liping, John Chang and others, apply to everyone. they are some kind of models, that can show us how far a the perfection of a system can go. - we cannot compare to them. we couldn't even make a quarter of a quarter of the sacrifices and work that made them be who they are now. - the power of "getting it" and going "all the way" is granted by forces that don't take our concepts of I WANT, I DESERVE, I HAVE THE RIGHT TO, into account - it's both a matter of LUCK and DESTINY, and personal choise, to allow yourself to be the man for the task - but everyone is different, and each of us have a task, maybe not as great as Wang's or Chang's, but more important TO US than what they acheived. in short, yes, it doesn't matter what you want - it's the truth don't be upset on him, if you don't understand at least this speck of truth, you have a LONG LONG way to go try to find out what YOU are supposed to do in this life. it may be a whole lot different than what Wang and Chang did. these ideas may not even belong to you... good luck on your journey L1
  8. is reserving jing even necessary?

    So, what is jing, anyway?

  10. Wang Liping in Denmark

    it reminds me a lot of what little i know about traditional feng shui and ba zi how did you came to that conclusion: good beginning, good ending ? i think the complete book on the basics of wang liping's teaching was supposed to be published this year maybe they'll use the olympics as an occasion to release it seems like the chinese government is ready to do with daoism what it already did with shaolin... cant wait to see what happens please do go on MiaoTao lady L1
  11. Wang Liping in Denmark

    what do you think of this?
  12. Wang Liping in Denmark

    i never suspect it would be that complex
  13. Wang Liping in Denmark

    how about that face reading, MiaoTao? a couple of nights ago i dreamt you were teaching me how to do it... i dont know how you look, i only knew it was you. funny the last time i was so interested in chinese face reading was after watching Charles Aznavour's film, The Chinese - he used to help himself in his detective work by reading the eight parts of the human face. i also remember he met a guy that he didnt saw for some time, and his face reading was different... this film was on TV almost 14 years ago... so, please, tell us, how is it done? respects, L1
  14. when you are not sure what to think about something... look outside your window, look in nature... see how nature does it... every living thing is in motion... the circle of life... stillness is important also. but having to choose between motion practice and stillness practice is like having to choose between only night and only day... it's absurd. we need both as much. go and tell bodri and nan that a little1 told them the original speck of the original truth.
  15. Wo-ow, there ladies and gents! It's not my poem, the link beneath it goes to the one that wrote it. I translated it in my native tongue, on my forum - my forum, that is, not the Taobums - and everyone enjoyed it so much. That's why I thought maybe you guys and galls would love it too... I liked it the very instant i read it. It spoke my mind exactly... Enjoy it! (In Romanian it sounds much much better though)
  16. So, what would you regret? Where do you belive you will go? This is a "deadly" serious question. One of the masters I talked with said that there is a big connection between alchemy practice and a strong sense of afterlife. Also, a strong sense of purpose in this life. If this would be the day, where are you on the map of your journey? Take a deep breath, and jump in!
  17. Your Last Breath On Earth

    death can be really sloppy... imagine someone chocking to death on a chinese noodle i didnt ask about a death where you had a choise, but one that, you know, just happened... an unexpected guest, unplanned for. a mistery... L1
  18. a while ago you said something interesting about oil and oiling companies, and made some interesting connections with entity practice... is garbage a medium for the "incarnation" of a certain type of beings? also, wouldnt you agree that man and man-made chemicals also fit into the great equation of life... if human free will is only a tiny speck compared to the will of nature and universe, wouldnt this all suppose to happen anyway? picture the earth 1.000.000 years ago, when it was nothing but hot lava, and then look at the structure of trees and plants... any ideas? where did it all come from? it's a long shot, but i hope i made some sense God bless L1
  19. the ice poles of planet Mars are melting too... there is a theory that the global warming is an effect of our Solar System passing thru an intense energy zone of the Milky Way so...?
  20. Your Last Breath On Earth

    i'm more of a listener than a talker okay, if i should die today, in my last moments i would do what i try to do best: take responsability for everything good or bad that happened to me. embrace my whole life once more. a moment of thankfullness and pride and victory that i didnt come to walk this earth in my sleep... but have tried to taste the journey... a Great Thank You, I will remember you... then... i think i will remain for a while, as a presence. until something greater than me would call me for another unknown task... how do i feel about the question? they give definition to the very essence of a person... they are not easy to answer. Good luck, to us all
  21. Your Last Breath On Earth

    Great posts, thank you, keep 'em commin' !
  22. Encounters with the Nagual

    La Gorda's Death: He told us the story of Maria Elena, an advanced pupil of Don Juan, who had developed great power as a warrior but didn't know how to control the bad habits of her human stage. "She thought that she had it all under control, but that was not the case. A very selfish concern, a personal attachment, remained in her; she expected things from the group of warriors, and that finished her. "La Gorda felt offended with me, because she considered me unable to lead the apprentices to freedom, and she never accepted me as the new nagual. Once Don Juan's directive force disappeared, she began to reproach me for my inadequacy, or rather my energetic anomaly, without keeping in mind that that, too, was a command of the spirit. Soon after, she allied herself with the Genaros and the Sisters and began to behave as if she were the leader of the party. But what exasperated her most of all was the public success of my books. "One day, in an outburst of self-sufficiency, she gathered us all together, stood in front of us and screamed: Bunch of Suckers! I'm leaving!' "She knew the exercise of the fire from within, by means of which she could move the assemblage point to the world of the nagual and meet up with Don Juan and Don Genaro. But that afternoon she was very agitated. Some of the apprentices tried to calm her, and that infuriated her even more. I could not do anything; the situation inhibited my power. After a brutal effort, anything but impeccable, she had a stroke and fell down dead. What killed her was her egomania." As a moral of this strange story, Carlos added that a warrior never allows himself to reach the point of madness, because to die from an ego attack is the stupidest way to die. "Self-importance is deadly, it stops the free flow of the energy and that is fatal. It is responsible for our end as individuals, and one day it will finish us as a species. When a warrior learns how to toss it aside, his spirit unfolds, jubilant, like a wild animal liberated from its cage and set free. "Self-importance can be fought in various ways, but first of all it is necessary to know that it's there. If you have a defect and you recognize it, half the work is done already!
