  1. Round the World for Eighty Days

    got my vote buddy, good luck
  2. Why I am against 'powers'

    Oh Please If that were true the skeptics wouldn't have the beliefs they do at the moment... Don't make things up and generalise too much...again... if anyone is too attached to their opinions it seems to be you. Skeptic: "A person inclined to question all accepted opinions." (from the dictionary on my computer) Show them it is more than just an opinion you've got, if you can. well, good luck
  3. David Ickes 'Moon Matrix'

    I find it entertaining how people will reject this idea even though The moon is right there at least, everyone sees it, i can even make the anecdotal argument about the reason that people tend to "go wild" (heavy drinking, fighting, robbing, bad stuff etc..) at night is because the moons influence is greater then than during daylight. Not to mention the full moon madness that some people say goes on. How can you accept things like hungry ghosts, nature spirits, deities etc etc.. which many of you have never even seen? Ickes theory is at least as good as the devil/hell theory. Its just that the negative entities you thought were beneath the earth actually live on the moon How can you treat 2 things differently when they're both no provable? (this is general, i m sure some may have reasons to believe what they do through experience)
  4. Any Taobums ladies want to be on TV?

    paid for holiday!? take it ladies!
  5. Dream Yoga

    Just so I'm sure you mean Bardon from the Frabato and hermetics books right? And thanks for the info, it would be great if we had a definitive paradigm to work with though Well I wont tell you about what I've done yet then concerning OBEs All I'll say is that its been fun and interesting, but I have yet to validate them as something real to me, and these days I haven't to time and stuff to do them. The method I mentioned above is the one that works best for me, and it was much easier if I did them in the evening and not at my usual bed time, and keep your emotions in check, too much excitement will wake you. When you do get it done, drop me a pm On another note, does anyone here know of an Indian Goddess or Deity or whatever who wears a Golden Mask?
  6. Why I am against 'powers'

    what the hell happened here? *slowly walks away*
  7. Dream Yoga

    Yeah I agree. My techniques is simple, lay on your back, legs straight, arms by your side, relax the mind and body and remain still. If you get the vibes reported by many OBErs just remain calm not to wake up and roll to the side and start doing whatever Though how can you know the difference between a lucid dream and an out of body experience or Astral Travel? Or are they all the same?
  8. Why I am against 'powers'

    Yeah that is true. And I've beat this subject enough too I guess (for now ). I just don't get whats so "icky" about it, and even if it is icky, many times icky things need to happen so better things can happen as a result. Though I can understand why you'd never do a demo like the one with the girl again, it did get her attention enough to become a student though You don't have to train them for that, consider just the ignition to start their engines. The reward would be starting more people in the healthier path of qi gong, and with the right guidance they might start listening in order to walk in wu wei too. I'm kinda just repeating my points but anyway. And I don't mean this in any bad way (text can be misleading ), but your DVD itself is called Gift of the Tao: Vibratory Acts of Power and not something like Gift of the Tao: Vibratory Acts of Healing or something. Was it because it sounded more attractive?
  9. Why I am against 'powers'

    Well kinda It was general, but I also added your name cause I wanted to be sure you didn't skip it After reading those posts I get what you're saying here. Thank you But if moving paper is easy enough, and doesn't develop the wrong kind of energy once you're at high level, might it not be a skill worth having simply as a starter for people? To give them a little push in the "yes there is more to this stuff..", to motivate them. And then as they grow through practice they develop the more essential qualities alone or through your guidance. Healing is more important, you don't really have much without your health (i think), but healing stories don't have as big an impact on 3rd parties, and can be explained away (wrongfully so in this scenario). (And there are plenty that prey on the sick and desperate out there, which makes a lot of people discount them) Like you wouldn't motivate a child and an adult the same way, maybe you could motivate the spiritually immature differently than what you might do to motivate someone as yourself. It might start like "i wanna move objects with my chi/mind too", but it could turn into something far more rewarding for the student. In conclusion, as a teacher, maybe some simple demos like moving objects with your energy could be very useful in creating a new generation of qi gong practitioners and spread good true qi gong knowledge/practice to the world. In the words of the Chunyi Lin "A healer in every family and a world without pain." (who else read that is his voice? )
  10. Why I am against 'powers'

    A general question(s) to those who think seeking special abilities is the wrong way to go... "How big is your ego??" I mean, how can you know what is the best way to go about things for every person in the world??? A lot also say it's not the goal but the journey, so the important part (the journey) will happen while they chase special powers. So why not forget their goals and help them start their journey by showing them what they can eventually do? Even if you believe its not what is important..it will possibly have them start their journey You know who you guys are, so can you answer my questions? (Ya Mu?)
  11. Someone pissed off this guy...

    His pro muslim ideals aside, he does have a point about those monks not really getting to experience more aspects of life. The New York Shaolin Monk video I made a thread for, that guy seems sooooo much happier and content with life, fit, really living to the fullest compared to most the guys on the Among White Clouds video for example. His life seems much more balanced.
  12. New York Shaolin Monk

    Hey Guys, I just wanted you to watch this documentary on Yan Ming. I'm curious to what you all think of his decision and lifestyle change from traditional to his current one. Yan Ming Documentary I think he seems happy, but do any think he made a mistake and deviated from the path to enlightenment, awakening, salvation etc.?
  13. Tao Bums's emotional vampires

    Thanks Marblehead Peace and Love!
  14. Tao Bums's emotional vampires

    Come on man, if you can recognise vampires well enough to point them out, or even just notice they are present, you must be able to give me my numbers. I just want them so I can know what I have to work on, I want your opinion!
  15. Tao Bums's emotional vampires

    Hey I asked for my numbers first, he can analyse himself later
  16. Tao Bums's emotional vampires

    What are my numbers durkhrod chogori??
  17. Why I am against 'powers'

    Agreed. Usually After a long post or 2 I'm beat and just leave it, go do something else.
  18. Why I am against 'powers'

    Well obviously your quest for power has corrupted you I would do it just to help the world see theres more to it than they think.
  19. Eyes emit energy that can be captured and measured?

    Well I don't chant, but if you do and know some others who do you should try it. Acoustic levitation is possible in a lab
  20. Eyes emit energy that can be captured and measured?

    yeah, mine though required a keystroke or a click of the mouse, which I couldn't have possibly done. But I can't repeat it, so probably a coincidence But who knows, maybe my brain tuned into the bluetooth frequency of my computer and acted as a remote to awaken it
  21. Why I am against 'powers'

    If the psychic sees they'll be exposed they can back out too. But here is the things... Randi HAS tested paranormal power, under conditions BOTH parties agreed upon. So he has fairly tested people, you can say what if what if, but he has at least on some occasions given people a fair test, open to the public, and they failed. People who claim these powers have no solid track record, because they don't dare to try and get one, if they prove themselves to be real things can only get better as far as their authenticity reputation goes. Hes 81! for goodness sake, you think he really cares to keep the world of paranormal as fake? At this age I'm sure he'd be happier knowing there is an afterlife for example Go to a TV station, levitate infront of people, it is a sure thing some reporter will come see whats going on. Show him, he'll get you on TV, once on TV issue Randi the challenge in front of the world so to spea. He'll have to accept! For 1 million $$$ its hardly any work.... for powers like psychic mind reading between you and your buddies or talking to ghosts it may not be so easy, but if you have a power that you can demonstrate effects our solid world you're sure to win. Spiritualists have this sort of belief that just because a practitioner of some occult practice claims some power it is not trickery. To sum it up: Sceptics debunk frauds on the world stage. Real practitioners are yet to beat the sceptics on the world stage.
  22. Eyes emit energy that can be captured and measured?

    Interesting Once I was trying to sleep, but couldn't, so I thought "ahh forget it! I'm wasting time, I'm just gonna go on the computer even if I have to wake up early" And the computer which was in "Sleep/Idle" mode 2 meters away switched on It was pretty funny
  23. Why I am against 'powers'

    Hes an authority is trickery. If anyone had really gone to him with a solid skill they can do at will, which is not a trick, they could've won by now. If you can levitate, move an object with your mind, predict what card is gonna come up etc without guessing there is no way he can fail you in some test in which he isn't cheating or something.
