  1. Emptiness Meditation

    I left what seemed knowledgeable in the quotes. Here's a coin for your trouble: http://www.rawfoods.com/
  2. W'o'W- N.o.W if we all only followed our own advice... My thoughts on this revolve around the IggY - observe as I follow my own
  3. Emptiness Meditation

    Emptiness Meditation is when Meditation reaches the highest acheivable level. There is only awareness. No thought, No breath, No body, No time. To Taoists/Buddhists it is called Mindfull Meditation. To those that discovered, it is called the Savasana of Raja Yoga. http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?showto...pid=153631&
  4. One question: Was it in English? If so then it was a tourist event. Here is a search box that will search all the news stations in China: There has been no mention of it on any of them. Try the same search for Buddhist Association http://english.cctv.com/01/index.shtml Here are the results of my search using the words: Taoist meeting Beijing http://web.search.cctv.com/olsearch.php?so...y_1=&day_2= If you are a foreigner in China - Everything is a Test. The problem comes from they all want to be the authority that judges- you. But this can work both ways - You can be the authority that judges Them as well... If you were in Hong Kong, you should have e-mailed me - I would have taken you to a real Taoist temple. It has the entire Taoist Cannon. http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/attrac...sin-temple.html
  5. Good characters of Sun & Moon - together they mean enlightenment. I live in China and have not even had a slight cold since I began the process listed below. Obviously I cannot say what it will do for others but it has worked for me - for about 10 years. The Theory: Making an enzyme rich juice that helps to rebuild our immune system through replacing the enzyme depleation of the Pancreas. Our society is an almost 100% cooked food society. Temperatures above 105 F' destroy enzymes For millions of years we have eaten food raw. Cooking foods destroys the enzymes. Our body does not manufacture enzymes. We must get them in our food. The rules: The # 1 rule is no heat above 100'F (55' C) The # 2 rule is Be careful eating the beans like a salad as an unsprouted bean can break a tooth... The process: Using Mung Beans Making a juice extract by sprouting (1/4 to 1/2 of a cup) of the seeds so that they have a root emerging no more than 1/8 inch. It takes about 24 hours to sprout the seeds in the summer. The process: I cover them in tap water for about 4 hours & then pour the water away, let them dry for a few hours & cover them with tap water again and repeat the process untill they sprout.untill they have a root emerging no more than 1/8 inch. Then put them in a blender with about 3 times as much cold distilled water as seeds. Blend them with the cold water so that the seeds become like a powder and the water becomes green. Strain the blended seeds & water through a stainless steel wire type filtering seive that you can find at grocery stores & drink the juice while it is fresh. Throw away the grounds. To build up your enzyme bank in your pancreas, you will need to do this every 2 or 3 days for a month or 2. Then about once a week. Even if I begin feeling a little sick, if I drink the juice, the illness does not develop. I keep some of the semi sprouted beans in the refridgerator most of the time & snack on them - but the juice extract is what really works. Be careful eating the beans like a salad as an unsprouted bean can break a tooth... The juice also acts as a catalyst for the endocrine system to bring hormones into balance. More explaining at: http://www.living-foods.com/articles/enzymes.html and http://www.living-foods.com/index.shtml Note - I have used Mung Beans (Mung Bean is "Lok Tao" in the Cantonese dialect of Chinese. Lok Tao means green bean) By the way - happy early Christmas - Free Meditation e-cards for all. http://www.dailyzen.com/gifts/poster01.asp?id=27
  6. Y1, I spent years breaking free from the Christian conditioning... Black Magic is, as in Black Septic, B.S. to me. Frame by frame is nonsensical as well. Better to just read the signs as you meet them? I would think there is no better anti-subliminal program than an aware mind. Here's 28,500 WebPages for subliminal suggestion techniques: http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&...ues&spell=1 When doing research on the Jim & Tammy & Swaggart thing, I checked into the legal situation far enough to know that there is not any laws against it for obvious reasons. - Although - as you are sure to know - There is more than one way to go - - so... Click on View and then Source to see the origins of it.
  7. Y, I use a CPU meter to know when my computer is having trouble with a web page program. Here is the URL for the meter - it is free - and I've tested it now for about 3 months.. http://speedtestpro.net/ It doubled from the norm when I opened "Fall of the Republic: The Presidency of Barack Obama" With the level of material being transmitted by the webpage, I checked my firewall as well as other possibilities. There was no problem other than the volume of material coming. No other video has had this problem. I have seen the Sunday TV preachers use a primative form of subliminal hypnosis where they would say one thing and it would then echo - They used it when asking for $$$ - back in the late 1980's. It was the beginning of the end for Jim & Tammy , Swaggart, etc. Another key to this brainwashing technique, that you can experience, is if it creates an emotional response - or a feeling that should not be there. Try thinking the folowing in the concept of its timing as well. Obama is working on health care reform which would reduce the pay of hospitals, doctors etc.... Who, in the civilian population, would need to know information on brainwashing techniques AKA - behavorial modification ? Are there other methods of deception being used in the video? - Such as taking quotes out of context? Claims with no backing? Speaking quick enough that a person cannot consider the points - only with the time to hear it before moving on to another point - (machine gun technique) Is the video abnormaly - too professionaly well presented? Political discussion is another website.
  8. The webpage that opens from the (fall-of-republic-presidency) posted URL causes a CPU overload that could only come from a Double Load which indicates An Attempt at Subliminal Hypnosis... You decide...
  9. Do any Bums stare at Goats?

    Its a Stare Off !
  10. What happened to E-Sangha?

    Christians and related war religions see Buddhism as a threat. Watch Sunday morning TV - Religion is big bucks. They are even in here - it is only at low level designed to disrupt - they use one line posts. They have been competing for a long time.
  11. Emptiness Meditation

    Here is a post on on emptiness meditation that is almost complete (99.95%) The Savasana is known as the most important exercise in Yoga as it is the entrance to Raja Yoga - the awakening point. It is tha changing from focus on body to mental Yoga. http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?showto...1802&st=120
  12. Chinese language questions.

    Native English speaker is absolute necessity. Alternate phonic speach patterns confuse learning students. If you are not a native English speaker, and have learned English, you know. . .
  13. Advices for evening meditation

    This topic has an evening method that will blow your socks off - little by little . It is known as the entrance meditation into Raja Yoga - the Yoga of the mind. http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?showtopic=11802
  14. Chinese language questions.

    L1, I came here in 1997 for a 6 month visit... In studying Chinese - think this: Chinese is based on drawn images of objects found in reality and their relationship to each other. English is based on sounds where as our mother and dictionaries taught us what they ment - through the belief system. Here is the Chinese character for 'Patience' which is also used for 'Tolerance' 忍 it is a picture of two swords suspended over a heart. It is supposed to give you the thought: If you had two swords suspended over your heart - would it teach you 'Tolerance' ? The entire time that I've been here - I've not been bored A good news is thet if you get your teaching certificate - as a native English speaker - you can come here and teach... Big Bucks -With: travel allowance, dislocation pay, rent allowance etc - in Hong Kong. I don't know about the situation in Mainland China - but do not see why it would be different. More good news is that: The person that established the Chinese language Translation program in USA (5 Universities) and in Hong Kong City University, William McNaughton, gives what he calls The Student's Character list in his books: Reading & Writing Chinese Traditional Character edition (Student's Character list= 1,020 ) and Reading & Writing Chinese Simplified Character edition (Student's Character list= 1,1067 ) ISBN - 13: 978-0-8048-3509-1 (mainland) Chinese TV: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Central...vision#Channels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCTV_Channels These two below are the main ones I watch - more are on cable and even more are on the internet like this one (about 1 year behind USA): http://drama.tvb.com/24(vii)/ Hong Kong TV: http://schedule.tvb.com/pearl/ http://www.hkatv.com/v3/schedule/schedule-world.html
  15. Chinese language questions.

    To the best of my knowledge, this is the first contact between China & the rest of the world - but it may just be the best documented... (best documented = "squeeky wheel gets the grease" theory) Map Parent URL: http://www.1421exposed.com/html/1421_and_all_that_junk.html
  16. Chinese language questions.

    Hi, L1 I'm in Hong Kong for over 10 years. I think that TianhuaQigong, who has also replied to this subject, is from China and speaks the language. I am from USA. A website that has the first lesson learned in Chinese schools - translated in English - side by side with the Chinese: http://tsoidug.org/dizigui_trans_simp.php Written Chinese is essentially the same throughout China -only dialects are different - Although - There are two 'main' types of written Chinese - Traditional and Simplified - Simplified was done by Mao Tse Tung and is very close to Traditional but created to eliminate some of the repetitive characters formed since Huang Di did it last, over 2,000 years ago. Simplified is used throughout mainland China in newspapers etc. Traditional is for largely those studying history, philosophy, culture etc. To begin learning to speak it - I suggest you get the Collins Mandarin Phrase book with CD isbn 978-0-00-724681-6 as it will teach your ear what to listen for. The CD is simple with English spoken first and Putongwa second. Mandarin and Putongwa are the same - I use sleep learning techniques where I play the CD day and night. Chinese call their language Putongwa. I've only seen foreigners call it Mandarin. The Chinese say to learn it, do it like a baby does by learning to speak it first. I can speak a little Cantonese - (Much more Difficult than Putongwa - with 9 tones compared to the 4 tones of Putongwa) but so far I haven't been able to make the connection between speaking it and writing it. Chinese Calligraphy is an art that will teach you how to draw with a brush. There is even a felt tip pen used here that has a tip like a brush... The study of the language really is enjoyable - although - it helps to be here. Which, is where the CD comes in handy.
  17. In defense of the "I"

    'i' Thinks that 'i' am a silly topic as 'i' obviously exist and 'i' will not apologize for being 'i' Actually 'i' seriously doubt if any of many can define the word ego - particularly 'i' see 'you' are using the word 'i' to mean the terms "egoism" , "egotism" & egotistic & egotistical. 'Why' would anyone want to poke another in their 'i' unless they wanted to blind them from seeing the truth ? We all got an -'i'- so why be ashamed of 'i't ? Use 'i't or loose 'i't . Remember - Remember the 5th of November {.'V'.} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDkYgd7JgFE...feature=related "Remember, remember the fifth of November, The gunpowder treason and plot, I know of no reason Why the gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot."
  18. Someone needs ask the question of 'why not use the internet's broadcasting ability to harness the minds of the world into one mind focused and aware.'
