Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law Love Is The Law Love Under Will ...or sumpthin like that...

yea i don't know about Theosophy but Steiner's Antroposophy seems pretty cool... i read Steiners biography... check out an article called "advent of ahriman" that's on the web that talks about a lot of intersting things. I especially liked the idea of 'luciferic' and 'ahrimanic' energies (which are opposite to each other, and in of themselves "evil" but in the total picture they force man to evolve).

it has to do with power... it's only yours to the extent that you can keep it... and only things of value need power to keep. as far as the pebble, not too many people will rob you for that... but if it was a rare gem worth millions, you would need some serious power to 'keep' that. philosophy aside, and right and wrong has nothing to do with it... just power. Thats what it all comes down to really, whether land or ideas... shit, look at all the war that was over the 'idea' of communism. People are animals, and there are limited resources, so we use our brain to come up with clever ways to extend our dominion. You could say it's wrong and sucks (you would be right) but thats the way it is.

yea heat would be really good for the ladies... how hot does it get? you could use a thermometer (i think it's called "sounding") into your wee-wee... i mean, i could see where TOO much heat would be bad... ladies don't like scorched Va-J-J's... how hot are we talking?

Dr.Morris has a whole chapter about mirror meditation in his book PATH NOTES... called "mirror mirror seeing through a glass darkly" Peep game.

Mental Note: Eat peaches... and celery... and drink pineapple juice... aww yeah! I on my way to starting my career as a porn star!!

SO.... do they enhance jing or something? Or just cuz they look kinda like round asses... also i heard that Peter North eats a bunch of celery to enhance his loads... and of course pineapples are supposed to be good. but they may just enhance the taste of the baby-batter...

i read a little about it wiki... said it was administered to people with some kind of debilitating pain, and at LOW doses... the people were depressed cuz they couldn't get around!!! SO the low does of K helped cuz of the anethesia effect, but if they tripped out they were given a lower dose... also said they couldn't move around much and just vegged out and watched tv... ...now you know ravers all around the world are going to read the article you pointed out and be like "oh yea, there ya go! I'm going to do a vial of K tonight so i'm not depressed... it's on the internet must be true" Addicts will see/hear what they wanna... Personally i hated the stuff... alittle made me feel drunk and a lot had me in a hallucinatory coma... i remember being at parties with kids just in STUPORS!!! Looking like straight RETARDS drooling on themselves and throwing up... K sucks bigtime...

i forgot who said it but something like: "the best way to ensure a fight is to not be prepared for one" meaning that the better prepared you are the less you may actually need to use your skills. Or the other maxim; "Kill rather than be killed, maim rather that kill, and avoid rather than maim"... or something like that.

I mean really... this seems like an important question... do people ever really do something they don't want to do. Or really GIVE without expecting anything in return? If they do, then isn't what they are looking for is the ego boost of being like "oh i'm such a good person" I don't totally believe that everyone is completely self serving, but that seems to be the rule... perhaps the exception is COMPASSION, helping others, you know...WWJD...LOL... Is it synergy then? That we want pleasure but it's out true self that benefits from helping other, in that WE ALL ARE ONE? I dunno, just sum thoughts...

NO doubt! THat's how i feel also... but a lot of people try to push that 'white light' self-sacrafice stuff... I'm sure there's something to it but i don't really understand it... but... Do What Thou Wilt...

Good replies all. What about situations where it's 'You or Them'... like in ghetto's or some other situation where you have to take another life or do something heinous to provide for yourself or YOUR family? Isn't there a side also where if WE ALL ARE ONE, by struggling and weeding out the 'weak' that the whole is made stronger? I guess what i'm saying is I see where you want to have life in order and THEN you help someone else... like a rich soccer mom who gives a couple old shirts to charity... but what about when you cleary have to decide between yourself or someone else? I think they call it a 'zero sum' game... Also what explains SUPREME acts of sacrafice like this monk that set himself on fire.?

True.... But what about doing something genuinely good (which sometimes involves giving someone a kick in the ass or telling them off)? Something where its the right thing, but everyone will hate you at first... Doesn't Buddhism have Compassion as a HUGH part of the whole system? (i dunno about taoism though) Maybe even compassion is a form of self-preservation... Like 'oh if i help this loser co worker with his annoying girlfriend problems, it'll maybe stop him from coming in here and shooting the place up or something' In one of Yahuda Berg's books dude talks about real spirituality being doing something when you dont' want to do it but you do cuz it's the 'right thing'... he says that if you want to do it then its not spirituality... I think that's a crock of shit, but maybe i'm just a selfish prick... I posted a topic a while ago about the famous picture of the monk who burned himself in protest... how does that figure in? There wasn't much self-preservation in that... and of course the whole Jesus myth... but then so many Christians are masochistic douches who just want to feel morally superiour because they are mad at the rest of the world for having so much fun. (sorry i work with some real nutters, they are petty sneaky miserable things...most of em ) But there HAS to be a place for genuine service to others... otherwise this whole life is just a cruel Psychopathic battle... right? i mean, wtf?

i got serious acne at 17 (when most people clear up) from f'ing with psychadelics and whatnot... brought some serious things to the surface i guess. Getting better now that i PRACTICE...

wait... male sexual energy is cold? i thought one of the disadvantages of 'retention' is overheating... isn't yang inherently hot? i know when my boys are danglin they feel cool... but when it gets 'going' it heats things up real quick... what the dilly yo?

that's what i'm sayin... Like; OH i got a serious Digital Smack habit!

okaaaaay... what is this stuff? It seems like the crap in the back of the high times magazines, only hoakier. is the first one free? Lol, if it's half way real... any drug dealer knows they GET YOU on the come back! So does this stuff work? For ReaLZ?

SO i made a post about Leary's 8-Circuit theory in Taoist Discussin and it got NO love, well no replies... what sparked it was i had just read Antero Alli's 2nd book EIGHT CIRCUIT BRAIN Navigational Stategies for the Energetic Body... which was his second book, and it expanded on Prometheus Rising (by RObert Anton Wilson, THe Big Homey)... i enjoyed it so much i thought i would go and get his first book; the one with the title of this post... Holy Shhniikees!! This book is so F'ing awesome my brain is leaking out of my ears as we speak!!!! Seriously though, i went through and highlighted some shtuff (just on my 1st read, i'm not done yet), and there are so many little nugglets of wisdom that i'm going to set up shop as a Wisdom-Nugglet Peddler... yea that's right... Now to be fair; i get this way when i first read through a book... like i'll think it's way cooler than it is but then on a second read i'll be like "hmm, yea it's pretty good... but not that great"... but i don't thaink that's whats crapenning with this one... I'll let you know what i think on the second, more grounded viewing of this book... but yea, i was wondering is any of my peeps peeped this book... I'll maybe put some quotes from it so you can see what i'm talking about... oh wait that would be copyright something... well just check it out on your own and lets discuss... Ready GO!!

Hey Guys i apologize if this has been covered 1000 times before but i just wanted to put this out there to get some feedback! I have been curious dabbling with 'chi stuff' (for lack of better term) for over a decade, mostly research... a lot of raeding and little actual practice... and a lot of unhealthy things too... but the past year or two i have REALLY been getting into this stuff as i KNOW that it works... like there is not a single aspect of my life that isn't improved drastically with this stuff!!! For realz!! i am also slowly weening myself off of methadone. I definitely am discovering that there is a lot of stuff "going on" with my mind/body/spirit... When i practive diligently i get definite electrical surges, warm tingles and whatnot... blissful mostly but other stuff too sometimes... I try to do microcosmic orbit a lot and can do it except for the area around my chest; I get chest pains (not throughout the day, only when i'm meditating raelly) and the tip of my xiphoid process i believe it's called feels weird... I know it's not just my imagination because i used to get MAD alergies and stuffed up but i can feel the energy drop when i put my tongue to the roof of my mouth and i get almost instantly cleared sinuses! is chest blockages having to do with anger? the solar plexus is considered the 'ego' right? So a block there would mean not having much energy, bad digestion, low sex drive, not grounding and stuff like that? I tried massaging that area lightly with my thumbs and it seemed to really work, like my navel warmed up right away... Should i keep working it or just chill and let it do what it do? Oh i do believe i have an "active kundalini" or some shizz, because i used to be VERY much into psychadelcs... like i can trace a lot of things going out of wack when i was 17 and eating mushrooms, acid and other stuff every weekend for a while... was fun at first then really burned me out... i think it was like a 'dark night of the soul' kind of thing (for 13 years ) I felt like icarus with his melted wings really any advice or wise words for a brother?

i do direct... buddha's breathing... the one where i fill up my lower abdomen first... but I'll have to mess around with the reverse breathing again, see what it does. thank you.

Really it's the whole neck chest sternum area... i'm working on it and it seems to get better though... like i used to have neck issues, like it just felt weird... now i realize it's a chi issue. I do weight training on my neck (and whole body) and THAT's better now. the upper area of my chest when i focus on it feels 'clogged' and i get short of breath, the bottom part feels sensitive, like i'm afraid of someone punching me there, or like there is an injury. Just an FYI... Methadone is a painkiller/opiate... people hear 'meth'adone and think Crystal Meth as in Methaamphetamine's... TOTALLY different class of drugs! Methadone is used for Maintence of heroin addicts... if anything opiates tend to slooww the heartbeat (except when in withdrawal, like me when i gradually reduce dose) Taking the methadone first thing in the morning i notice tends to make me tired... i'd say that it affects 'jing' because sex drive lowers, and it's notorious for it's constipatating effect... sometimes it can be euphoric, othertimes just makes me tired... NOW, when i lower my dose (which is what i have been doing sloooowly over the past 2 years every week) no matter how slow i go i still have withdrawals... i'm sure you've seen opiate addicts in movies, yea it's a lot like that... all the above reverse's: extreme restlessness, diarhea, sleeplessness, depression, anxiety, disphoria etc etc... the trick is to reduce SLOWLY so i can deal with the withdrawals; you know, hold down the jobby-job, deal with people, post on Taobums ... Reducing slowly actually feels good if i do it right; i feel more like ME, i feel creative and just less MEDICATED... but it exaserbates any 'chi' issues i have, thus have been meditating so much to help with this, and it really does! oh and fyi i TOTALLY DON'T do drugs anymore... i only take my methadone... (although it can be abused, hypothetically speaking) well if you count caffeine and nicotine from cigars then those too!

oops

oh and i really mix and match practices... I'm good for taking a little from here and alittle from there... and seeing what works! I figure as long as it moves me forward its all gravy!!!

What? You mean the internet may be less than 100% accurate? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO... no , but seriously though; i just added the part about the heart as an extra... i dont care if nothing was left... it's still CRAZY IMPRESSIVE!!!!! The heart part could be total Buddhist propoganda but still doesn't change anything.
