  1. Earthlings

    Michael I usually just do my thing and don't go around preaching. Hopefully I teach by example. I have a lot of happiness in everyday life. A friend of mine sent me this film. I saw two minutes and emailed her and asked do I have to watch this. I'm a vegetarian, my eggs come from free range chickens. Why do I need this in my consciousness. Anyway I decided I should see the whole thing. It was truly horrible. I thought people should be made aware so they can decide what and if they want to do anything about it. Up to them but at least they shoud be aware. If you don't know and you've got your head in the sand how can you make choices. Everyone doesn't have to become a vegetarian. There are more humane ways of bringing food to your table. Also the fear when an animal is killed is passed on to the person who consumes it in the same way certain animals are eaten for their powers. I am, however, surprised by the defensive reactions to the subject matter.

    What exactly is human suffering - does it really matter. A lot of people don't think it does as shown by their actions. Cruelty is cruelty- but we try to kill in a humane fashion. Doesn't sound like you watched the film. Since when does posting something constitute whining. There was / is no intention on imposing anything - There was an intention of perhaps raising consciousness.

    Sorry to disagree. I don't wallow in darkness. I just happen to have been sent these from various sources. Having information is power. Grinning and baring it, turning a blind eye and enjoying the ride is irresponsible IMHO Knowing about nano particles in sunscreens gives you choice. The world clock is just plain interesting. Didn't find it depressing at all. Just a way of seeing the tao - yin and yang. I would have liked it better if they included marriages along with divorces. I must admit Earthings was a bit heavy. However, I think we should know where our food and clothes come from. Everyone knew in the past when they personally hunted and gathered, I find comparing the treatment of animals to slave camps something to deal with rather than turn a blind eye.

  8. How to Pick Up Girls

    Right as Rain. I learned this many years ago. It really has nothing to do with the pickup line unless your really obnoxious. If a female liked me it didn't matter what I said. If I was nervous or stumbled I was perceived as being cute. If on the other hand if I wasn't chosen from across the room the coolest line just made me a jerk. It helps listen to conversations between you sister and her friends

    Here is a video not for the faint of heart. It is horrible to watch but a must see. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1282796533661048967
  10. The Empty Vessel-Daoist Philosophy&Practice

    I think it's no longer being published. Try a google. The editors name is Solala Towler.
  11. One of my teachers used to say don't do too much. Little by little. Referring to the physical exercise aspects. However, he practiced the idea, he internalized his form 24/7. One has to imbibe- become one with your practice. I think that is what seperates the masters from the herd. It is not necessary to leave your family. There have been many householders who have become one with the void.
  12. Looking for Help....

    Sounds like you might have hypoglycemia. Not to worry as a good diet will fix you up in no time. Decide how you would like to eat i.e vegetarian , cannibal or somewhere in between. Find a good nutritionist where you live that fits your persuasion and now here's the tricky part - do what they tell you. You'll be fine.
  13. Anyone tried Colonblow?

    Like giving birth Weakness could have been from dehydration. Make sure you drink plenty of water when you fast. A little at a time don't gulp down glass after glass. To keep your life force flowing you might try one tablespoon of flax seeds each day. You can gind them in a moulinex type coffee grinder and immediately sprinkle on a fruit salad or a green salad. It will keep you well oiled. Better than Meta muscil.
  14. vegan & being full.

    I use kinesiology (sometimes a pendulum) to test foods when I have a hunch they might be harmful. However, I wouldn't use it to rationalize eating sugar. I would eat a piece of fruit instead. Eating the same thing everyday can build up allergies. That's why it is recommended to eat what is in season and possibly why you don't get consistant results with your system. How many people do you know who are as discriminating as you are and take the trouble to test their foods. Not many I'm afraid.

    Sorry to disagree but there are things that are definately not good for your body. You may not feel the effects right away but somewhere down the line it will catch up with you. What is subjective is whether or not you have an immediate reaction. Even if your genes are top notch your body still has to waste energy disposing of toxins. There may not be one best diet for everyone but the rule of thumb should be the less processed the better, the fresher the better, the more organic better, the less cooked the better. The mainstay being fresh fruit and vegetables regardless of whether you are vegetarian or cannibal. Eating the food of your choice in this manner will be most helpful and healthful to your body. BTW the healthiest part of the bagel is the hole.

    Try adding some nuts to your diet. 3 -4 ounces a day. check out Dr Fuhrmans site: http://www.drfuhrman.com/
  17. Death for Dummies

    Definately die slowly.
  18. Anyone tried Colonblow?

    If you are not pooping at least once a day you do not have a proper diet. Two times is better - three even better. If you have a library in your bathroom you do not have a proper diet.

    Also those who eat less end to be healthier and live longer
  20. share your most beautiful qigong forms!

    You are free to not make any distinctions you please. Go for it. No need to concede. It takes a lot more to offend me. Just pointing out my experience. You're right, there are a lot of chinese people who dance instead of play their form as my chinese friends have pointed out to me. In general chinese people are too polite to say anything. There are exceptions. There are always exceptions.
  21. share your most beautiful qigong forms!

    If a chinese tells you after seeing your form that it is dance it is not to be taken as a compliment. Although in reality they are too polite to say anything. In their view your form is lacking in silk reeling connectedness, internal structure, purpose, meaning, yin - yang balance to to site a few. They don't dance they play their form.
  22. Eating Flesh Pros and Cons

    Vegetarians who eat fish are NOT vegetarians. There are other good DHA supplements out there DHA Purity being one of them.

  24. Acting: Great Performances

    One of my favorites was Kill Bill. A real tall tale. Larger than life. I usually don't like and stay away from violent films. I like anything by Tarantino.
