practice intention

To rid the world of old age and misery one has to have right understanding so one does not become old and ugly. One rids the world of ones own ugliness.

Do you think you are presently ugly. I see some seniors who are quite beautiful. They openly wear their lines of life and don't try to cover them up. There is light inside, whereas a young person may have beautiful features and be ugly inside. So how do you stack up both inside and outside.

Collected a lot of honey

People who do well in spelling bees are more in tune with the Tao

You are healthy and energetic. Why is 180 pounds ideal weight? Ones body adapts to their ideal weight when they eat healthy. If you go after muscle make sure you remain flexible

Are you breathing naturally from your tantien or higher up in your chest or throat? Lightly place your attention on your tan tien and your breath will follow. Don't focus on your breath or follow your breath - breathe naturally - let it happen. After some time this will become natural and you will be more grounded. Eventually one breathes this way 24/7

hey ion thanks for the feedback keeping it on track about the work

Well duh you could have started your own thread or found an appropriate place to post and we can always count on Chi Dragon .................. with that said the purpose of this topic is to show my paintings. The one good thing is that the topic has been bumped up.

Put your drawers and closets in order - keep them neat Get rid of clutter. Color is important in that it give off a peaceful vibe. Simplify furniture in the room - pay attention whether furniture has a built in feeling or whether it feels scattered. Head and body north south in bed. We had a beam on the ceiling over our bed which didn't feel right (feng shui would probably say it would be inauspicious) It felt wrong so we hung fabric from the ceiling to cover the beam. Mirrors on the ceiling is a no no unless you are performing than it's a yes yes One has to work with the particular room situation. if you were to pm me a plan of your bedroom with furniture and photos i could be more specific.

There is a Taoist group in Virginia send Zerostao a message

Get a face o faceless one where are you located - someone here might live in your area or know of a teacher who is.

keep your attention on your tantien so you are always belly breathing. keep your tongue relaxed on the roof of your mouth. use peripheral vision whenever possible

saving accounts, money market accounts CD's are presently paying almost nothing. Seniors and those who save are being ripped off. Interest rates are not keeping up with inflation. That said i no longer put my money in the rigged stock market.

We really don't have to remember our failures as others will do that for us

Putting aside my huge ego for a moment i was speaking of the idea of what the physical world is made of. Different vibrations of the same thing. Can you think of one thing, one person , one animal, that is separate. Once this is understood without mind we are. something like that

My original post was really inane - I deleted it as it is not worth repeating -

interesting you interpret this as an ego trip. I will take your advice and clam down

LOL I don't and didn't claim to have any God power. I wasn't trying to make you think i am God. Didn't you read my original post or were you too busy focusing your response. There is no need to be defensive.

My original statement had nothing to do with right and wrong. For example if one were to meditate on who am i they might know this truth. Thou art That. It is an understanding of the heart. Nothing to do with the mind or intellectual mind games. I would never say the car is an axle, however, i might say the car the axle you and i are created from the same whatever one wishes to call it. That there is nothing that is not created from whatever one wishes to call it. Therefore if we were to realize this in our hearts the world would be a different place.

So are you agreeing or disagreeing with me or none of the above.

What does this mean?

The circumstances of life and death have nothing to do with the truth of who we are.
