  2. John Changs 1st Westerner student

    seandenty has said it over and over again the only purpose the demonstration has is to demonstrate you are at a certain level of ability so you can proceed in the system, nobody is wishing for any specific power here.

    it's sad what this thread turned out to be, people on this forum talk about disintegrating the ego and such but we can't even have peaceful discussions what a shame

    from my limited understanding video leaking is one of the original reasons john chang faded into the shadows i don't think he'd be too happy to hear a video like this got out

  11. retention

    so, i suppose i am known on this forum as a supporter of it but i am beginning to question it... when i have bowel movements (since the beginning) i used to notice a type of paste in the water that wouldn't mix and i have always disregarded it but now i'm thinking twice. today i had a good run (50 minutes!) and when i went to use the bathroom (bowel movement) i looked and i saw my urine was very thick, in fact it resembled everything sperm does but it was yellow. it was stuck on the toilet and i took a cotton swab and took some and it was somewhat sticky. i know i didn't have a retrograde because i don't get that close in coming to ejaculation, so what could this be? i am beginning to doubt this practice and might even abandon it, it's dealing with things that cannot be replaced.
  12. courses in white tigress system

    yellow stream looks interesting, let me know how it works out for you
  13. i don't know where i found these links but well, i suppose that isn't too important; what is important is to spread them! http://www.freerice.com/index.php - donates free rice to help end hunger http://www.freeflour.com/donation.aspx - donates free flour to help end hunger a few minutes a day of messing around with these questionnaires could help some people eat peace
  14. I-thought is the Pre-Amp

    i ate 3 cloves and i can honestly say i don't really care for the taste, an improve in taste would probably kill me. i ate them raw and my mouth felt like it was on fire, lol.
  15. I-thought is the Pre-Amp

    where do you buy spirulina? i wanted to buy some after i read about it in men's health magazine but wal-mart or publix don't carry it apparently. i consume roughly 800mg of epa and about 550mg of dha a day, sometimes more when i eat tuna. i eat some cabbage for vegetables and carrots every now and then (lol rabbit diet) but it's mostly high protein for me; a lot of red meat turkey and chicken. for grains i mostly consume whole grain bread. can you eat garlic raw?
  16. I-thought is the Pre-Amp

  20. Full-Lotus

  22. retention

    this is where my age comes into play. some of you may say "i wish i knew about this or that when i was younger" but in reality there isn't much of a difference. emotionally i am an asshole plain and simple and this is how i come off to most people but i don't try to be like that, it just happens for whatever reason. i am cold to most people and if i don't like you i am willing to bet you'll catch on real fast. this is why i am interested in ayp - yogani's system. all of the teachings are online and when you are ready you take it to the next step. if i could i'd love going to wherever it is in the world and creating the disciple-guru relationship because really this is a serious issue (not even talking about retention here just the spiritual path in general). when i used to practice retention i used to get a warm feeling and a kind of tingling pushing to pleasure and so forth, now that i don't i just want to ejaculate and that's that. i don't know, a lot of esoteric schools all point to the same thing, not ejaculating. if i do take it up again (i am leaning in that direction) i am going to do it with yogani's ayp since it includes the spinal breathing. last time i did retention i also did pranyama which i did not use this time and could have been a factor in the overall decline of the practice. one thing we do have that the ancients didn't is communication, some of you are in china yet we are here exchanging messages. i thank everyone who has posted in this topic and i am now just trying to absorb all of this and come to a conclusion, whatever that may be.
