Bronze, Check out Iron Shirt 3 dvd by mantak Chia. Compare with this. Thats what an older would do.

Do Taoist "masters" treat the rest of the world as slaves? Hanging weights from their balls and snorting pee at million dollar resorts in the catskills or high mountains? Are Taoists full of shit? Do they hoard all the good energy of the universe?

thank you, and it did bring a smile in me, thats more of the answer I was looking for, and happy b-day too

I would through down 50 beans for that Deep Tissue Massage and Myofascial Release..7 discs!? Two or three other heads?... Also, anyone want to put in the library this ideagasms or white tiger? I would love to give woman orgasms like that...

Bums! This was a serious thread!

"The two coloured swirling jewel held between the two lions represents the peoples' guarding and cherishing the self discipline of correct ethical behaviour, principally represented by the practices of the ten exalted virtues and the 16 humane modes of conduct." (tibet.net) Does anyone know about these "ten exalted virtues and the 16 humane modes of conduct" which are represened by the fire water tai chi eternal pepsi symbol? Also, funny how this is such an energetic flag? Snow mountain triangle...looks some like the eye of horus with that sun.

One healing tao instructor taught his kids inner smile, healing sounds and orbit flow. He lives in PA is named Michael Cornelious. I never got a real chance to speak to him about how this is/did work out, but I intend to talk to him soon. I cannot imagine being real young and working with alchemy! Thats got to be intense? I do not see how it could be bad, unless your teacher was forcing you to seriously learn while you just wanted to play - if the teacher had some heart blockags or some crap. Truly, its got to be fun to learn stuff! At any age! And it is fun! If its not fun then your not learning it. If I had learned alchemy in middle school, it wold have been great! I would have enjoyed my preteen and teenage years a lot more! I would have had deep insight into relationships and life in general, enabling me to live more fully. As for retention, that stuff can be reeeally sticky if you do not know what your doing or havent transformed negative emotions. As a youngin, you have so much jing anyways that it's okay to bust a nut every day! Until about age 19 or so, then maybe every 2 days...

Anyone check it out? Should be a tresure chest of everthing a taoist needs...history, techniques... http://www.amazon.com/Daoism-Handbook-set-...n/dp/0391042378

wow swwwwwwweet I wanted to learn this stuff!!!!!!!!!!

whats on your list? I look forward to reading all the Empty Vessel Journal of Contemporary Taoism back issues pub by Solala Towler

For anyone who is interested, this series of four seem like they could be very fun! Livia Kohn is respected in the Taoist practices community (such as by Winn), although she is an academic. She is a major player in Western Taoism. The 4 courses would cost 8 grand total! Wow! http://www.bu.edu/online/online_programs/c...g_calendar.html http://www.bu.edu/sth/professional/continuing/cert/index.htm Peace, Jake

I didnt claim Manly P Hall was a taoist. He wrote a bunch about it though, with deep insight. What do you know about brother Manly? The Masons? All that stuff is reeeally mysterious. I enjoy some of Hall's work though.

DOesnt i have to do with descending energy? As in down the core of the body? Its the RAINBOW BODY!? Look at Michael Winn's esoteric notes on it, in the fundamentals tapes if you have...

Remote viewing? Anyone get the low-down on it? I came accross this impressive course: http://www.amazon.com/Remote-Viewing-Gold-...=UTF8&s=dvd

Can anyone explane this? Rex was talking, on the Healing Tao forum, about conscious drops. This is a buddhist idea. He said something about the moment of death, drops from the brain and gut merge into the heart. I read in another book about Tibetan medicine, that Tigles are likened to the effects of Amanita Muscaria - the sacred toadstool holy grail mushroom...but without the drugs. Rex also eluded to the idea that the Healing Tao teaches these tigles, about the energies, which are a quick way to get out of Samsara...or something like this. Rex, are you hearing this?

If anyone would like to join for semi-private lessons... This guy is the real deal Qi Gong Grand Master, he was trained from the age of three, and is from the line of Lao Tzu, Yellow Emporer and Chang Sang Feng. Here is a message from Dee, the student who is hosting the teacher: Hi, I've been fortunate to have studied with Grandmaster Yuanming Zhang for the past five years, and I'm pleased to announce that he is coming to Boston again to teach, the weekend of November 11-12. A Daoist scholar once described Grandmaster Zhang as, "The real deal", since his training was directly from old masters in the remote Qing Cheng Mountain area of Sichuan province. These masters taught him the traditional, "secret", inner teachings (mi jiao), that were previously passed down only within ancient lineages, and still can only be learned directly from master to student. Now, Grandmaster Zhang can teach us these deeper levels of practice, and inner methods of qi circulation that make the outer, physical practices effective. If you've never attended one of Grandmaster Zhang's workhops, the first day is a good introduction to his traditional teachings, and will be of benefit both to healing professionals, who want to replenish the qi the need for healing, as well as those who are interested in improving their own health. The techniques will be simple enough for those who have no previous experience with qigong, but are unique and will be of interest for those experienced with other forms of qigong. The second day will focus on two different forms of one of the most ancient and important of the classic Qigong Practices - Ba Duan Jin (Eight Pieces of Silk Brocade). The standing and sitting forms have different movements and Grandmaster Zhang will explain what the name really means and why in his Qing Cheng Mountain tradition, there are actually 12 movements. Details about the workshops are below. Please call 617-959-6097 or email [email protected] for more information or to register. You can also register at the door. If you're from out-of-town, let me know if you need information about housing. If you would like not to receive these mailings, please send a reply with the subject heading "unsubscribe" and I will take you off the list. Blessings, Dee Ramee, Lic. Ac.

Winn: "you could buy my entire homestudy course series for about $1,500.......about the cost of a week at a low rent fat farm. Even though it will take 5 years to go thru it - the first time round. " HAHAHAHAHA!

good question the tiple hearter is like the key to alchemy

Yes, I seen this before. I consider Jahnke, Winn and Solala the three wise men from the East! Seriously, perhaps the three leading pioneers of bringing Tao to the West, from within. All of them are real nice, if you have an questions. Reading and learning all their material will make you a super-taoist!!!!!!!!!!!
