I am anti newage bs, and pro legitimate systems. Most people that come here to this forum are newage hippy dippy silly people, and get offended by that. They in turn heckle anything I post. That's my best guess.

I never really had a father figure, but I looked up to Jim as one. It's strange to find someone who goes out of their way to help everyone who asks them for help. Jim was one of those people. There will never be another person like him, I am sad he left us. I wish him the best on his next journey.

Right now you experience reality, and believe what you see and experience to be external to your own mind. It's backwards. Really you see only the inside of your own mind. That computer monitor you are looking at isn't a computer monitor at all, it is your own internal mental processes, it exists purely as energy and information inside your neural networks, and that is the only reality it has or ever has had. The sum of your total experience, what you see, feel, smell, taste, hear, remember, visualize, verbalize, emotion, intuition, everything... That is just energy and information inside your own neural networks, and that is what you are the energy and information, the experience that is occurring that is you, that is what you are the whole experience. You are only an experience, only energy and information, with no tangible reality to you at all, the world you experience is the same. When you meet another person, you are interacting with interactive 3D hologram created by energy and information inside your own neural networks, you are experiencing yourself, only ever seeing the inside of your own mind. This whole world you live in, exists only inside your own mind, only exists as energy and information. If it is a reflection of something outside of your own mind however is up for debate.

One of my favorite games of all time! Daggerfall too.

If anyone here knows what they are talking about Chen. Listen to him.

ah yeah it's not so bad actually. I really like the company, I hope to move up the ladder.

Decent paying job which is 60-80 hours per week doing tech support for a professional grade software company (fixed that for you)

I would absolutely love the ability to hide topics, I am unsure if this is possible with the forum software we have but it should be if it isn't. So many things here to me are just spam, and I would love the ability to hide away the clutter.

Just the nature of the job, I am at 60 hours now, will go to 80 in January, and back to 40 after April. I do have something very very very important I have to save up for, feel free to PM but it's not something I can talk about openly.

We aren't going to war in the middle east to help the people, we are going to help ourselves in securing their oil resources. That's really what it all boils down to.

I think a better solution is to just share the method by which you were able to obtain said experiences (if it's repeatable), and let others see for themselves.

You'd rather go to war with a country to secure their oil resources, than not have smokes or did I misread that?

If someone else told me that they experienced first hand the same things I have, I wouldn't believe them.

You would be convinced you are right even if the American Cancer Society's facts stated that 80% of men got prostate cancer Isimsiz. Studies have shown men who have frequent ejaculations are less prone to prostate cancer, perhaps long periods of semen retention have the opposite effect. If anything semen retention practices may lead to increased risk of prostate cancer, but this I would think could be compensated for by training 1-2 days a week for longer hours. This would allow you to have a 2-3 days each week you weren't having to abstain. The grandmasters of mo pai are not swooping down to curse students with prostate cancer, the same practices are also in longmen pai, and they don't get sick. (I don't remember them covering any semen retention practice either in the retreat)

We don't want to go to war unless we have to do so, if we can intimidate them into being submissive to our will that will serve the same purpose. Picture this, we are a street thug and want someone's money, we don't want to have to bust a cap in there *** to get it unless we have to, as long as they hand over their wallet and walk away no one gets hurt.

We imprison people for their entire lives, deny them access to a lawyer or fair trial, and torture them daily until they are left broken husks of human beings. We aren't interested in helping anyone, that's just how they spin the war to sell it to you. We aren't in Syria to help anyone but ourselves and our interests. We only act when we stand to profit from controlling some countries natural resources. Don't kid yourself. Russia is backing Iran and Syria for the same reason we want to go to war with them, control of their oil resources.

Yes you probably would have. Just as we have permanently imprisoned and continuously torture men for whom we have zero evidence of wrong doing. I am sure things are much much much worse than our media allows us to see. The Germans themselves thought nothing of all the wars and actions of their government, from their perspective it was all just normal. Just as what we are doing right now just seems "normal". http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/511928.html An excerpt from: They Thought They Were Free The Germans, 1933-45 Milton Mayer

Imagine six males that you know, statistically one of them will get prostate cancer at some point in their life. This isn't rocket surgery. http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancerbasics/cancer-prevalence Two million, 5 hundred thousand US men are living with prostate cancer (that means they haven't died yet). __________________________ I am allergic to BS. __________________________ Stop. You are not sure of anything because you don't know.

I understand that Mudryah. I think it is wonderful Sifu Rel has found a system to be a part of. My only issue with Sifu Rel and his group is that they created the forum: mopai.forummotion.com And claim to teach higher levels. It is only when you come out and say HEY this isn't mo pai, that they will tell you WELL DUH we don't practice mo pai. It's a sort of bait and switch tatic. They create a community for mo pai discussion and training information and create their own system which isn't really explained anywhere. Lots of people seeking mo pai that don't know any better get caught up in their community and never realize it's something else. That's the only issue I have with it.
