was thinking "To know the tao is one thing, to practice it is wholly another. Who can withdraw the senses? Balance emotion and sex (kan and li) and live in eternal light and bliss?" Also, I was thinking today about how silence is golden. I was living in a house with 7 people last week and now its just me. GOD BLESS SILENCE. Now most people hate silence, they will learn the way or loose the kingdom/queendom of heaven I say! But how great is music? I been listening to this group Shpongle Project! Check em out for good meditations... www.Shpongle.com http://www.shpongle.com/mp3/ respect the MULTI VERSES! Oh yeah, and this is very cool if anyone is interested: VIDEO: STANISLAV GROF (HOLOTROPIC MIND) INTERVIEW

Anyone got Ducane's recharge? That looks pretty good. Id love to hear some of that music Jeremiah?! Thats so cool that you are friends with a real master! Where can we find that book? Wu is an immortal if I ever seen one! Whos is going to check out theat Dragon Gate dvd of his on the Tiger stuff? It looks sweet! Ships Jan. 9th. I definetly would like to check that out at some point. I found it interesting how he refers to 12 joints in the body, well, 12 main ones: Wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles. Will have to remember that. ...bottom of our heart, this guy appears to be the man!

That sounds about right. The energy should hold your posture upright. Also, see the 2 channels; one fire, one water, spiral into the deep center, kan and liness. Go on to the fusion, or whatever. You could also reverse the flow, this will make yuan chi appear in heart rather than lower TT. Also, try doing inner smile and orbit at same time! Try to flow orbit in both directions at once! Thats whats up! Or just sit in the TT and feel the steaming relaxing your jing chi shen->void->tao

http://www.powerballs.com This thing is seriously awesome! It works the little muscles in your hands with the gyroscope that can push up to 40 lbs. Remember that most of your brain nerves connect to the hands than any other part of the body? I feel my thrusting channels opening with this thing! It removes any carpal tunnels, strengthens the hands, makes them work better and more efficient, and the forearm, great for martial arts, athletes, taoists, etc. I sound like an advertisement, because i love it! Oh, and it should most definetly strengthen the pericardium channel! So very good for your heart too! Great for massagers, healers....anyone!? Should helps grounding as well, forces chi into the hands! Thing costs about $35. Go get yourself one if your inclined!?

What is up with people who want to die? They just live and decay, they dont want to live forever. They hate their life that much? They want to die!?

maybe graduate yourself to the kan and li, also work on practicing fusions at ALL times

Interstingly, they teach the CK Chu stuff... http://www.bridgeport.edu/pages/3868.asp ...makes me want to check out that CK Chu stuff more.

idk, i think they are both relative terms. enlightenment i think of as almost the same thing, but higher than awakening

Cool, I am a fan of Ken's integral approach to everything. I have short talks, 2-3 minutes I downloaded (perhaps available on integral naked) in which he talks about the microcosmic orbit-gros subtle causa, reverse...also one where he talks about moral development as being an ascending thing of the chakras but sometimes a chakra gets stuck... Ken came out with a couple new products recently, many dvds....looks intersting...

I notice this new advertisement above for the "Alchemy of Tui Shou" and checked out the website...VERY interesting organization...mostly Russians... ...check it: http://www.inbiworld.com/explore_art.php?n...t=2&newlang=_en

I have been enjoying Louis Komjathy's translations of taoist scriptures, the handbooks for taoist practice. Other than the tao teh ching, what are you favorite scriptures?

About time Chia came out with a SIMPLE qi gong booklet about the physical chi kings to open the joints/blood flow in meditation! Also I noticed he came out with a Kan and Li book! I gotta find time for this! Its only an e-book now, not a hard copy. Anyone read it yet? http://www.universal-tao-eproducts.com/cat...products_id=154

hagar, very interesting. Can you explain your avatar? I enjoy tao in and have done Karen's as well. I would recommend seeing chias before karen's because she does not explain much. The book is AWESOME! Empty force is explained along with pulsing...soooo much. I feel like people who do yoga are great and have a lot of energy but they are not nearly as balanced a practitioner of tao in...but who practices tao in? Not many! Must take the principles from it, tendons, psoas, relaxation, meridians, animals, sooo much goodness in that book! The older version has color in the art, awesome art!

Whose that? Why you want it?

I think thats a pretty boring qigong. I would rather do the standing 8 ba dua gin and then do sitting meditation, gathering all that qi into the dan tien to store there and infuse your channels.

Jeremiah, I already have the booklet for kan and li, I am wondering if there is a BOOK. It appears to be that there is an e-book listed on chias storee, not ebooklet. However, the ebook for kan and li is not listed under the books in physical space. What is going on here? hahaha Also, when you described the feeling of doing blissful breathing qigong with 30 people it felt very near primordial, care to expand on that a bit further? Cameron, what is Tao in a Bottle? And I think that is funny as hell you meditate with your xbox, lol. Do you do qigong with it?

Very interesting, that must be amazing to do with 30 heads in a room. Esp with winn leading it and desribing the alchemical transformations. This is a rather advanced form, it seems to combine elements up the the highest level of taoist alchemy. For this, I would consider it an authentic taoist practice with a modern "lineage" and I think its a ver interesting qigong, perhaps a bit "over my head" for now, but I will come back to it when I need to chill out and clear away ancestoral spirits and whatnot, lol...pretty heady.

Just downloaded the audio file for Ron's memorial...very interesting... taohealing.com

I am wondering whose voice that is and who wrote that memorial in the mp3 at taohleaing.com It is intense. The voice sounds like some profesional voice person or something. Also, he does not talk about Ron, he just kind of, talks about death.

rage spilling from my gut organized shen flow from my nut where is heaven on earth when the sea is of no worth when we fly to the moon do we ride on a broom like a wich or flirt with a skanky bitch an angel, a goddess such a thin line i know reality is somewhere if only we could find

Sounds awesome! Thanks for the links. What is the fire dragon qigong? What does the winter shift entail for you? Of course, more kidney nourishing, correct?

Sorry but I couldnt find any of the vesisca pisces graphics on your site/sun moon thingie. That avatar one is stellar. Id like to have a bigger res. one to print out and meditate with. Im wondering why you chose the name jeremiah? ...the bullfrog? And you mentioned that you meditate at least an hour a day. Im wondering what pusture/s you use?

Wow thats stuff looks very cool. I was wondering if Lilly knew anything about alchemy...considering he enjoyed taking acid in floatation tanks, he must have had some kind of meditation skills!? Well anyways, I hope to get more information on this stuff. Gnosticism is VERY taoist! Where is the connection between it and the tao? Thats what we all want to know. Where is the true internal alchemy? Does Chia and Winn teach it? The Russians? The Gnostics? We could spend our entire lives and all our money learning about alchemy.... infinite lives...

Welcome! Where in Upstate do you reside? Im over near Rochester. Good to have you around!

Good to have you. What instrument do you play? I enjoy looking at your designs of the HT logo. Is that avatar version perhaps your favorite? Any chance we could get a larger resolution of it to print out and meditate on? Welcome to the Tao Bums!
