In fact they even work when the patient knows he is being given a placebo: http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode.cfm?id=placebos-work-even-when-you-know-10-12-23

If an animal is dying and we don't know for sure if it's in strong physical pain
freesun replied to zazaza's topic in General Discussion
Personally, I think it's a case by case basis. I could be completely wrong here and I am not trying to assume any kind of power over life and death, but unfortunately we are put in a position to decide when a loved animal fellow's time has come. I have had two cats pass away within the past two years. The first cat recieved a shot, that quickened it's death and the second one went on it's own terms. In my judgement I found it best for the animal to go naturally, even if there was some pain involved. The reason is that giving a lethal shot is anything but pretty and definitely not without agony for the animal. It's a death that comes sudden and from behind and leaves terror in their faces when it comes. That I have wanted to avoid. The second time around my cat was obviously having string discomfort from her ailment and death was coming for sure. Yet I simply let her be and stayed with her the whole night. In the morning death came with peace. Yes, she experienced pain. But I did not see the shock I saw the first time around. However I must add that the first cat was about to suffocate from her ailment, so I found it to be better to give her the lethal shot, since suffocating must be one of the worst ways to die. I still saw the confusion and fear in her face when the shot started to act. At the time, it seemed to me that I saw the spirit of the first cat eject into freedom. That gave me peace. The second cat appeared to to speak to me one week before she died, telling me that we will meet again. Time will tell. I could have imagined all of the above, my mind trying to comfort me, however. -
I am intrigued. Can you share more info?

The way I see it, on a level a spiritual teach is no different then a teacher in any other, mundane field. They have access to knowledge that they can pass on to their students and are skilled in their field of expertise. This does not make them a better person in all areas of life however and to expect that from a teacher and to idolize anyone creates the risk of dependancy.

Thing is even if you see spirits (I have) you still do not know if they are real or just a figment of your imagination. Unti an experience trickles down and has an impact on the third dimension that I live in, i find it hard to be sure of anything. I know that I have a need for food, procreation and physical and mental stimulation, basic needs. Beyond that it's a tough call defining reality. Spiritual phenomena have as much of a chance to be real as they may be a result of subjective psychological and sensory processes. The human mind re-interprets everything we see and feel and think in the context of our personal experiences and conditioning. Taomeow gave a nice example of this. The human psyche feels a need to be in an equilibrium and it will search for any means to make that happen. It is definitely not objective in it's evaluation of reality

I do not, nor have ever craved meat products. If I did, I would consume meat, but I really don't. I do not think it is inherent in the human species to require or necessarily crave meat.

What is a good breakfast for a TaoBum?
freesun replied to DalTheJigsaw123's topic in General Discussion
Yes I eat that every day for breakfast, as it serves me and my constitution well. It feels very nourishing and calms my mind. I do not think that is true for every type of body though. I tend to rely on the ayurvedic dosha system to choose my foods and it happens to fit pretty well with what I like to eat and what makes me feel good. -
What exactly is I-Ching, How does it work and is it real?
freesun replied to DalTheJigsaw123's topic in General Discussion
Here is a link to the I Ching and other classic texts: Text I do not recommend using the online oracle function. It does not give accurate results in my experience. -

freesun replied to DalTheJigsaw123's topic in General Discussion
Some great recipes, this thread would make a great book For breakfast I enjoy cooked oatmeal or spelt semolina with nuts and lots of spices like ginger, turmeric, cinnamon and cardamom. Add some ghee and a dash of honey doesn't hurt either. -
Belief of soul-stealing through photo-taking

I think it steals the photons bouncing of your body. -
This is the first time I have heard of this. Can you elaborate?

I had 3 distance healing sessions over the phone. He starts with energizing a cup of water which you drink. Then you sit in a meditation position or lie down and he starts his healing work. After about ten minutes the call ends but he keeps working on you for about 30 minutes. Unfortunatly so far I have not seen any improvement with my conditions (the 3 sessions too place about a year ago), which probably have nothing to do with his healing ability. I am assuming there are still issues for me to deal with before any type of physical healing can take place.

I have had 3 sessions with him and it was always a live phone-in with Chunyi Lin himself.

The Connection between Taoism and Mountains
freesun replied to ThisLife's topic in General Discussion
Anywhere on the coast, at east in east Geramny , is not so bad actually. It's usually not too hard finding a quiet spot on the beach for practice, so far. Tourist infrastructure is still expanding heavily though, even in a crowded country like Germany. I do love Norway however, going hiking all day, finding a serene place of the path for meditation (if it's not raining ). I am coming again in May and really looking forward to it. -

Hagar, living in norway, for you it would be quite difficult to avoid being in the mountains even if you tried really hard -
Is there any scientifically method to prove the effectiveness of any of these products? Using a common EMF meter, I have never been able to measure any change in intensity of various EMF fields emitted by electrical appliances when using any supposed EMF protecting devices. Is it about intensity or something else? Is there any way to objectively measure the effectiveness?

Shucks! That's not feasible for this vegetarian. Too bad it has to be meat.
