    drew which ear was it that you went and got a check up for? today i woke up and my left ear was literally burning but it went away within 10-15 minutes. i can now switch legs during full lotus, although right over left still feels a bit strange.

  7. Can We Transcend Lust?

    i agree 110%
  8. Can We Transcend Lust?

    almost every single prophet that has come to our world has mentioned lust, and it's never in a good way; don't fool yourself thinking it's alright just because it's widespread. i think the taoist sexual practices can help with this, if practiced with retention, at which point you usually drop them i'd believe.

    nice, is that you in the photos daoseeker? one thing i noticed is that there seems to be a sizable number of younger people practicing - even kids; next generation maybe?

    for all you Da Vinci Code fans here this is quite possibly the next big thing there is. the film has interviews with actual people in the Priory of Sion (you can wikipedia that one if you never saw the da vinci code) whom talk about the relics and possibly, the body of mary magdeline. don't want to post any revealing information so... watch it! http://www.bloodline-themovie.com/ if you don't want to pay for it there are other ways, that i won't mention here

  12. i find it interesting that they attempted to stop menstruation through being malnourished (a diet of fruits and water?) i thought that the yoni-egg exercises supposedly helped stop menstruation?

  14. Ayuhasca?

    lol i'm sure most of the people on here used drugs in the past and probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them.

    the artifacts where from the time of jesus christ, good luck finding those.
  19. sore throat and weak feeling

    i've noticed this as well, lol

    yeah, making your own documentary about a subject that is more likely to get you laughed at than applauded is the epitome of success. how do you propose i get parchment (and write on it without it falling apart) from the dates shown in the video? berenger sauniere died in 1917 and assuming he placed the bottles near the end of his life, the paper is 91 years old; is that long enough for it to deteriorate? i'm not sure. the documentary itself said the same thing you would "it's unprofessional" when honestly who cares? this guy was searching for this stuff on his own, out of a van parked in the middle of nowhere.
  21. bloodline 2008 film

    well, the artifacts he found where carbon tested and they where authentic, and he said he had been looking for quite some time before finding the artifacts as well. i suppose there will always be skeptics though edit: although it may not be apparent at first the documentary was filmed through a ~2 year period, so it's not like he found everything in a weekend
  22. semen retention

    this has been my experience, it'll superpower your personality in a way. my only criticism of alchemical taoism is that it gives off the impression (to me at least) that it's better to just ejaculate rather than be a celibate (i don't think masturbation w/o ejaculation is a good idea). the discipline that i have developed from "continence" if you will has spilled over to all areas of my life and has made me an extremely focused individual. if i put my mind to something and really want to i can do it, which is something a lot of people say but can't always do. if i'm 18 and can control myself with peaking hormone levels i'm sure if you put your mind to it you too can do it. there is also a lot of fear put on stagnation and other things of that nature and in my opinion i'm either really stupid or really smart in that i don't think it's too big of a deal; it's not like we're the yellow emperor here shagging tons of women and accumulating massive amounts of energy.
  23. Is a Guru/Master/etc needed?

    god god -> adam and so forth
  24. bloodline 2008 film

    well, it's supposed to be the body of mary magdeline not jesus but in a sense you are right. they did some carbon 14 dating on it and it was from the middle east and i believe was from jesus's period. i'm not sure how they'd be able to tell if it was jesus though (there is supposed to be another mummy nearby) but if it was him that'd destroy the entire christian faith since that'd prove he wasn't resurrected.
