  1. The Path of the Confused

    I think you should do some soul searching, sit down and really ask yourself what your goal is for being a taoist, buddhist, wiccan or whatever else is. What is the end goal? I think if you can clearly define that, then you can begin searching for practices to help you achieve it.
  2. death

    Before you were born into this world you were dead, you've been dead before and came into existence at least once that you can be sure of. If the universe is both infinite and eternal I think it's safe to say that will happen again. Maybe your memories, personality, ego, identity etc won't transfer, but the base awareness will continue in a new form. This is what I believe.
  3. Piracy

  4. Piracy

    If piracy/copyright infringement is immoral, why do library's have photocopiers? Most people don't want to break the law to watch a video or listen to a song, or read a book. It is that the content provider's (MPAA, RIAA, etc) business model is broken at it's core and their greed is keeping it from evolving into a functional business model. Any business model which requires writing new laws to sustain itself is broken beyond repair imho. Instead of creating a viable business model they are forcing customers to become pirates, their sworn enemies. Their own greed and lack of vision is causing this system break down. Most people would not mind paying a reasonable fee for a service like netflix, and or pandora and also listening to advertisements to be able, watch, listen or read anything they wanted whenever they wanted. So I say F*** them. They are dinosaurs. Try your best to obtain whatever it is you want off netflix, hulu, etc if it isn't available it's not your fault they are greedy F***ing retarded suits. Pirate what you can't obtain legally. Remember when you download a file off the internet, it is a binary string of 1's and 0's and it represents a real number between 1 and infinity. You cannot copyright a number it has always existed and always will exist. It's like saying 2 is copyrighted you can't send the number 2 to another person because it violates our copyrights. All possible numbers (of which a song in binary form is one) have always existed and always will exist. If anyone own's the damn copyright to the thing it's the Tao, or God or the universe or whatever ultimate thing you look up to, not some fat cat suit sitting in an office chair suing his own customers for daring to choose to consume media differently than authorized to do so.
  5. Thanks guys/gals for creating a forum for taoist discussion. Might I suggest a subforum in here for qigong/neigong practice and training

  8. Disinformation campaign

    Most of the Buddhists I have met, do not believe in a soul or spirit that continues after death, nor do they believe in reincarnation of any type, nor chi/qi. I am sure that does not reflect the whole Buddhist spectrum though.
  9. Thank you for the Taoist discussion forum!

    I like this subforum more every day, as it seems the general discussion forum has deteriorated to a cesspool ala 4chan lol.
  10. Dr. Jerry Allen Johnson's Neigong Book

    yay we can hope, thank you
  11. I am

  12. Disinformation campaign

    I think mostly this forum is being over run by silly newagers. They have no clue what they are talking about but love to tell everyone else about it. This place is like twitter for them lol. Though, we do have some genuine disinformation being planted here as I pointed out earlier.
  13. Disinformation campaign

    Yes take this for example: http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/18434-john-chang-video-redux/page__view__findpost__p__258643

  15. New Interview With Kostas Danaos

  16. So guys I really wanted to share this with you. For the past few weeks I have been brewing my own organic rosemary tea. I bought 2 pounds/ ~ 1 kilogram of the stuff and keep it in the refrigerator. I boil a kettle of water and let it steep on low heat for about 30 minutes or so. I eat the leftover rosemary too so it's not wasted. Rosemary has one of the highest antioxidant food scores known: http://www.oracvalues.com/sort/orac-value So I have been noticing my memory is sharper, and I feel amazing and invigorated after drinking a lot of the tea. I just wanted to share with you guys. Rosemary is easy to grow yourself as well if you prefer to grow the live plants.

  19. New John Chang Video Surfaces

    I filed a report with the Australian Federal Police, as well as scamwatch.gov.au, and reported his isp for abuse. Recently I noticed he changed isps to Primus Telecom and I reported the ip address I suspect to be him to their abuse department. That's about all I can do on my end. you can report this blog here: http://www.google.co...ntact_type=spam this is the blog he uses here: http://taoist-magic.blogspot.com/
  20. New John Chang Video Surfaces

    Looking at your screenshot's it's very interesting to know you are in Australia as well. Btw is your isp Primus telecommunications in Sydney? Also using ixquick private search, and private browsing mode in firefox isn't going to help you my friend. lol http://www.ixquick.com/eng/protect-privacy.html
