  1. Honesty

    Hmm. There was a link in my reply. Nothing is ever an absolute. This is in as much as any chair is made up of the same material which is a metaphor for honesty. Because of our limited awareness, sometimes some of our fellow humans take this flaw "for a ride" when they lie. Let me break it down further so you understand, as I have had the habit of being utterly ambiguous in the past with my explainations. All of us have some measure of awareness. This awareness is increased when people bring things to our attention that we were not aware of before. In turn, sometimes because what we see disturbs us or makes us angry or upset we ignore things or close our awareness off. The fact is that no human can be completely aware all of the time and we falter or give misinformation sometimes when we truely intend not to. Me personally, it makes me sound unsure of myself when I have to truely give the answer "I dont know". This is because there may be so many unknowns that affect the outcome known as X. Such as: When will so and so be home? Well she did say that she had to run this and this errand and most likely will be home by 5pm. This is of course if one of the errands doesnt take too long and possibly could. People who lie count on the fact that people are not aware and count on this. They either hope to gain something or sometimes I have observed they do it for fun just to see reactions. There are some however that do it for power like for example in politics. Politics is full of half truths doctored up to sound good based upon social research on what groups of people like what. For example there are Rush Limbaugh followers out here in the states that have a following because what he says they like. The same can be said of Huckabee. In essence of what I am saying in the above link I posted to a note on facebook, hopefully mankind will soon see the destructive nature of not being true to a greater awareness of things and finally wake up. Humanity sleeps... quite deep still. I hope there is still time. Hope offers nothing however.

    Hmm. I wrote something that in a round about way has to do with this same topic: (it is a three part series a lot of reading) Grant's Note on Facebook
  3. Moderation Policy

    I am no moderator. I have noticed several different forums over the years dealing with spirituality in general just go under. I can only guess at these things. In my observation, it seems when something escalates people involved somehow think that there is something they can do that they can get away with. This usually snowballs out of control. How to prevent it? I am unsure. My faults I try to deal with. Yes, we all have them yet some of us beat our selves up repeatedly over things. Something Ive only recently been able to overcome. I suppose back on track... I can only remember one time that my anger blinded me. I allowed myself to get wrapped up in it. Instead I should have asked myself: Am I ever going to meet this person in real life? No. What importance is it if I am some how "snubbed" on a forum? none. The word especially tends to take a negative aspect when online, so I think it is up to all of us to try to make what we post as positive as possible. There have been times where I wanted to post despite the fact that what I said would have come off as negative. In those cases I should not have over the years on different forums. Forums can be taken very very seriously it seems. When people give opinions, that is usually how they feel from the fiber of their being? Is it right or wrong? No. Its not wrong or right. It is when we make something wrong or right that it escalates. I don't mean this from the perspective of times past nondual type blah blah. I simply mean when we begin to judge right or wrong we start down this path we are talking about. People get bent out of shape, peoples feelings get hurt... someone leaves. Things are what they are. It doesnt afford much in the neighborhood of insight. Then again it seems that people might want to debate on how right or wrong that statement is. Course I am just a moron standing on the back of greatness. The last paragraph was more or less inspired by Neale David Walsch's Conversations with God. Still doing Stillness-Movement. Heart palpatations have gone away. Peace guys
  4. Write the word game

    I went for a walk last Saturday and ended up here three days before. I went around in circles for a few days with too much water and enough food to feel satisfied. I felt I could do as I please and people wouldnt understand why. No more could they be found again, and the answer lies in vane. If you wish, relax and without paying much attention to how you are generally thinking or feeling write down the first word that comes to you. That is your jump point to your next adventure. Please write down the word here This may not make sense to you at all, but if you dont like to feel confused or do not have a very active imagination you can choose to write pass or you can not. Walk around and eat something. Thanks for playing.

  6. Politically Correct BS

    This topic made me re-evaluate the Taobums. I realize I do have many good abilities but I might not be what a teacher needs to pass on extra teachings to. I realize I will never be as good as I want to be, and there are many people who are still stuck holding on to old ideas and concepts. I must move on. It is not helping me or anyone else.
  7. Attention All Rotten Bastards!

    .............. Kiss and make up? It sounds so funny to say something you were told when you were just a kid to another human being when you are older.
  8. Loneliness

    I understand. I spent a lot of time "dismantling" what I originally believed and even dismantling what a lot of people believe. One of the reason why I sought out forums like this. In the end it seems people like us realize certain things... sometimes it becomes so much more blantantly obvious to people like us when people become so trapped in their thoughts... There is no advancement then and it seems the only choice is that we must deal with trying to fit in or unfortunately continuing by ourselves which is not an awesome path because we have no secondary feedback.
  9. Politically Correct BS

    Indignation lacks observation... the heart of real spirituality. Seems to be an unknown part that people tend to overlook.
  10. Happy Nine-Nine

    Happy Nine-Nine everyone. Drink your Chrysanthemum tea or wine. Take your fish oil pills. (yes I am a day ahead)
  11. Politically Correct BS

    Edit: Summed up politics sucks and leave it in the toilet. Dont bring for the other children to share. Reason: The original post seemed lacking and the purpose of it seemed lost, so it will be immortalized for all time as such forgiving if backups dont preserve it.
  12. Runes

    Very good. Work with it and find out what feelings and impressions you get from any of the symbols. Then do a research on history of the symbols then reevaluate the sysmbols and how you "recieve" them as messages and what they mean to you. That is the old way, just like tarot if you ever choose to dabble in that you have to deal with your own feelings twords the symbols. In essence you have to realize what your demons are and what does hold you back. Many rush into the system and go but it takes time to get a feel for it so that is why it takes a while to digest. You are right to post that. Once I even did a material on correspondancies in chemistry... you can do the same but try to see each symbol as a shade of grey instead of an extreme. Death can mean rebirth of something and so forth... it keeps you from becoming frustrated when working magic with the system. Good luck! G
  13. Alien Greys

    Its funny. You do have to very very open minded to continue to progress... not gullible Wait I heard a violin playing while I said that.
  14. Alien Greys

    Quite a few people believe they will return on the 23rd of December of 2012. Something to consider. Even though I have made "dimensional" type travels (i cant do it for a long period of time yet) Made contact with these frail looking beings who once looked like water spirits to me... Even I have a hard time believeing this stuff. If it happens great, a new epoch and that means 99% of the population can stop telling everyone their religion/politics is absotutelyposolutely right. Maybe not. I can still dream. I am glad to see people starting to take some what of an interest in this type of thing. It will expose to to some of the origins of Daoism and specific rituals that honored them actually came from the Pleadian Spirituality-Science. The pleadians dont have a religion as we do but they regard it as "just existing" which means they are past the need to believe in things they cant see.
  15. Alien Greys

    Fair enough. My experience with people talking about an owl is their experience with seeing the specific movie. I would be interested in knowing what book it is of which you speak, the bogus movie tended to derive some of its concepts from real material which I found to be an irritation because the movie didnt have continuity from the original material.
  16. Alien Greys

    The owl story is from a movie that is a fictional work that claims to be connected with a real event that easily collapses once you start doing research into trying to find out who the people were that interviewed the said individuals. The small grey frail looking aliens are the pleadians. They are peaceful. There is another race that is aggressive, but I am not going to talk about it right now just because I dont like thinking about them. Most commonly misunderstand or associate the aggressive aliens with the pleadians. I havnt helped the matter much, but thought it fitting at the time to let it alone. I cant possibly correct every single thing that happens to be wrong, it would require way too much effort. Plus with trying to meditate and work I hardly have time to post. Peace out.
  17. "Psychic" fooled by fake crop circle

    I familiar with the phenomena... it happens when a psychic is given too much information about the target, or in the case of spiritual experience sometimes it happens due to someone previous beliefs in a particular subject. Its like an auto hypnotic suggestion... Same thing happens when someone uses hand seals or other "cues". So if Jim bob goes to XXX church and believes XXX church is right then his vibrational level will raise accordingly. However not as much if one realized the ease of raising ones energy in its own respect.
  18. After checking some of these sources it seems that the Brazilian government does seem to have factual information and accounts of UFo sightings and is unafraid to publicize them without U.S. Permission. Although I was barely privy to some knolwdege of the Pleadians from people over the years it may be that the general population may very soon have to come to terms with an actual visitation within the next few years. Remember 'if God is so smart, Why do you fart?' Or any Taoist related perspective you may have. http://www.rense.com/general65/braz.htm As time goes on it seems things become more and more bizarre. How strange is the spiritual reality I wonder...
  19. Brazil Released Ufo Data to public

    My last statement was too ambiguous. If the spiritual reality seems far different than the mundane, and I have enountered many strange things... one wonders what the extremes look like.
  20. Want to be a moderator of The Tao Bums?

  21. east asian thunder gods

    Lei Gong was a Demon immortal then progressed and reformed to become a heavenly (god) immortal according to the texts. The key to understanding is to be able to creatively use ones creativity without anger and use calmness. Only that has been my experience and perhaps a misappropriated spoiler for some to be put to the test. yeah its for zapping *laughs* kidding.

    reporting also.... still in the process of moving
  23. Funny "master" Mak is back

    I would buy a book on your stuff apepch7, seriously. Mak Tin Si = Herman Mak Herman's Daoism = My way or the highway. Personally you might find more relaxing quiescence from smoking a pack of Pall Mall Menthol light 100's on a power drag than using his methods.
  24. Funny "master" Mak is back

    I forgot that decaffenated coffee to some tastes like the real thing Kidding really no really dont take it so hard I really meant it to be funnydont put me on ignore
  25. Novice Self - Accupuncture Danger?

    Yes the condition if you incorrectly needle any part of the chest cavity is called Pnumonuthorax. It is an extremely painful irritated condition which can be fatal. This is just to add to Joe's warning. Training is usually essential as needling technique is better than complete knowledge.
