we stand in front of jesus Buddha who ever and our first question is always gonna be... "WHO AM I" but what we do not realize is that our first question is how ever completely irrelevant to what you should be asking... i sometimes get this impression.. is our age old question "who am i" actually irrelevant to what we truly wanna know considering we dont know what that may be...

well... is it ok to sometimes smoke it before meditation or should i stay away from it completely?

hey guys well you see i have been lifting weights for a long time and have just now today begin to really see the fruits of my labor so with that in mind i though... maybe i should really start meditation and get some REAL FRUITS OF LABOR haha! so yes tonight i am finally going to begin my taoist path for real. i have the book "Cultivating Stillness" which i am going to use as my guild but i would greatly appreciate you assistance in this matter of mine my first goal in my meditations is mental clarity (clearing my mind and being at peace) -so i can sweep the road clean for future meditative journeys. so clearing my mind and working on my memory... then im going to work on letting go of desires such as junk food video games and WOMAN omg i have to let them go they are the largest distraction in my life haha that is just a very tiny tiny list of my goals in meditation. so yes please let me know your thought and your help thank you Brandon P. aka Archaic. (P.S how do i change my log in email address i dont use this one really anymore)

Do I practice Taiji? no but i want to learn very badly

i do not understand this concept of the tao how is there movement in stillness and stillness in movement? -Brandon " The True Mind can weather all the illusions, since beginningless time darkness has thrived in the void, but always kneels to purified light" - Lion Turtle.

A VERY hard book to get my hands on... a dear friend from sweeden told me to get it because i am a taoist... he said it is a VERY important read... please.. anyone. what is this book about? why so rare and expensive? why so special.. iv been hearing so much about this book from taoists all over the internet...

hi my names brandon im 18 you see my main goal in this life is to learn the full potential of my human mind and body and i feel i can learn this from taoism... maby not all of it but a good chunk.. i want to learn chi-kung and nei-kung taoism is for health and longevity and stilling the mind... i can use the stilling of the mind but will the rest really help me along my path.? i wish to learn to do things with my mind that the ancients long before us knew... when the time come ill be ready to devote myself to it forever if thats what it takes... martial arts are also a goal of mine... i dont want to live in this mind controling society of america and be a working slave to money day in and day out.. honesty.... i just want to run away to the himalayas and become enlightend... if i could do that i would in a heart beat.. i would leave all this BS behind and take that chance and find out who i really am... i became a taoist follower because it made the most sense to me, and above all else i seek wisdom taoism seems so ideal and perfect for me but i am wrong? this is a serious question... please i am finally opening up myself...to people i dont even know but to people with hopefully like interests... please respond kindfully and helpfuly thank u very much Brandon Pearson aka Archaic.

ok so we all know pretty much what law of attraction is. its the belief that what ever u want will simply come to you if u go about it the right way... if u want somthing and u forcefully strive for it then it ends up farther and farther away from u if u let it just come to u in such a way that u LET it you will have what u want... again the key to taoism is to not want.... im enjoying it for now... say ur interested in a perticular female.. do u go about useing the law of attraction in such a way that you show physically that u want her but so no interest mentally or is it the opposite do u show no physical attraction but know what u want mentally and it will come... i dont understand the bases of this law can someone please help me

hey i posted a topic earlyer today about my daily routine and i was told to start Tai chi How do i do it? what is the main benifet from it. iv heard about it but what is the purpose of doing it if i make it apart of my everyday routine from what i have aready heard it sounds facinateing but i want your feedback as to why i should do it everyday also.. please stay with me on this... i wish to expand my mind... my main goal in this life is to discover the full potential of the human Mind and Body... i want to learn ESP or extra sensory perception which in itself is a MASSIVE variety of things Telekinesis pyrokenesis etc... it is these kind of things i want to learn through my daily mediation. contact with spirits and such is also another goal of mine... ...now. seeing as i am only 18 and these are some pretty tall orders i have here would only make one think "oh this is just some kid dreaming about being a superman" nothing could be further from the truth... i do wish to be one with the Tao and better my self as a human being and learning the things i have mentioned are only the tip of the iceberg... if taoism will help me reach these goals i will dedicate my life to its teachings... Nei Kung chi gong qigong tai chi are some things i want to learn if anyone teaches any of these or is very knowlagable of the subject please talk to me on msn [email protected] Brandon Pearson aka Archaic p.s. i seek a taoist master to help teach and guide me along the path i hope someone can help me find one
