I'm in! Where do I sign up!? But seriously though, I've not read the whole thread so I may have missed some key points, so I apologise if my question is dumb, but is she using the actual physical emission or the energetic one during the sexual act, or, as I suspect, both? And how far is it ethical to drain a man and can constant draining, or at least frequent, have serious side effects? I have a further question, wouldn't a woman sucking off a mans energy(no pun intended actually)go a bit nuts, I mean with various different men surely it would effect her thought process greatly, I don't know, I just would imagine it's not kind of pure energy but will have parts of the males character. Is that right? Or is there also a way to kind of purify it? Interesting topic

Oh man.... I would never have thought a man of your seniority would know what tea bagging is! Highly over rated, I just don't get it...... I have also wondered if there were different kinds : Earl Grey tea bagging, English breakfast tea bagging, herbal tea bagging.... I've no idea. I don't think I wanna know either. I can't believe you mentioned tea bagging

Yep......you've hit the nail on the head.... you assert this is not doable..... I assert it is. Obviously I exist(to some degree, but only on weekdays)so therefore I will have an effect on the answer because I exist, and also because I asked it and it's related to me. My answer is contradictory I know..... but my main point is this..... I wish to remove myself simply because whenever I do a reading myself I get exactly what I expect, so, I wanted some clarification, I know my thoughts affect it, but I(and this is just my opinion and perhaps what we are disagreeing on)think that were I to create some distance I can be sure I am, perhaps, to some degree, reducing my effect on the outcome. I do only say 'perhaps' however. I also felt having someone else do it, a someone who I wouldn't know who at the time, would make the answer clearer for me. Now..... that may just be a separation in my mind that in fact doesn't exist.....I'm with you on that..... BUT, I still want to see. I feel you kind of took my question as a kind of challenge or trick, which I can promise you, it was not. The reason the question isn't posted in full is because it's private...that's all. I promise you. I do believe this is well within the I chings scope, and apepch7 has shown me it is, actually checking my own I ching apepch7s' reading IS exactly what I have received before in view of the same question(same changing line too). In recent times though I have found I have been effecting the answer.... so I wanted to somewhat distance myself from it. I believe also there are multiple facets it could give me furthering my understanding of the issue. I however don't wish to personally be connected to the direct action of handling the coins/sticks..... it does simply reflect what I'm thinking these days. That's my fault, I know. I only asked for an answer Taomeow, not a lecture on methodology. You may not agree with my way of going about it, and that's fine. With respect

Ya. That's what I said. Thanks for repeating.

I remember reading somewhere something about electricity cutting a persons cells in two/and or mutating them. High risk of leukemia around the strong fields is also suggested, having said that many more articles discount it. http://www.journals.elsevierhealth.com/per...911381/abstract Naughty entities are supposedly using electric as food and travel. I have no idea. When I was around nine I decided to put my finger in a socket 'cos my mother said it wouldn't be a good idea, due to electrocution/death and so on. Nothing happened. Nothing at all. So I did the only logical thing. I had remembered water conducts electricity so I wet my finger in my mouth and tried again. Success at last! 240v right up my arm on a direct course to my heart. To this day I have no idea how I managed to pull myself away from the socket but i managed it just before it got to the heart. Needless to say I paid closer attention to what the things my mother said after that, but not much mind you. Mother knows best.

They certainly know their stuff don't they. http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8...1940009,00.html

Ahhhh.... the forbidden fruit angle, the most attractive of all. Hardly random, she could of been the unattractive bag lady on the street corner, that would have been somewhat random, instead of the fit unobtainable personal trainer. Give her 'the gun show'.

I wasn't testing 'her'. Just look for an answer that isn't affected by me.... although, obviously it would be to some degree bearing in mind I'm the one asking the question. As I did say, the question is a real one, one that is not born of 'boredom' as you say. As for the Russian question, I quite like that I must admit. But my question is not the same. Imbue, imbue, imbue. Go ask a cat, they know what it is to imbue......and so should you. Edit: A man who definitely likes Russian questions http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20091118/tod-l...re-37b0eca.html

Tasteful bamboo art.... I like it.... I should have known better! I don't suppose you often say 'it's a brorrr moon lit nit tonit!' do you? Don't answer that, responding to my idiocy is not a requirement. However if there is anyone who can afford to perhaps lose one coin under the sofa in the quest for answers then please be my guest. Edit: ps........ congratulations on ur centennial post(x10, I don't know the word)apepch7.... I had considered stalking ur ass to catch you when you when you reached it yesterday, but as it transpires the universe dragged you here. I like economy of motion. Most efficient.

*wade* Happy Birthday

LOL... It's not bollocks, it's actually similar to what I have gotten with the same question in mind before. I was hoping you would do some actual coin throwing though apepch7 instead of going to ifate.com.... still, what with the financial crisis and all I guess coins are getting scarce up north, I suggest emigrating once they start paying you in turnips Thanks though, the answer is close to the mark. Any more takers? I'm still 'I ching curious'.

Naked/semi-naked women do it for me every time. Still, I'm quite old school.

This is a real problem in my book.... maybe.... I have over the years noticed that my I Ching reading will, on many occasions reflect exactly what I am thinking.....to a ridiculous degree...then again it may just be reflecting the fact that I'm ridiculous, and I, for one, wouldn't blame it. It can also reflect my own personal expectations of the answer. Someone else mentioned this effect in another thread a while ago. I'm not convinced doing your own reading for anything related to yourself is a productive thing, I'm not even convinced myself throwing the coins/yarrow sticks and someone else doing the reading is very useful either. But I still remain very 'I ching curious'. So, I propose a little experiment for those who would be willing. I will partially post a question, I will not tell you the full question, in place of the rest of the question I will put some symbols, they in no way are related to the length or meaning of the words, but I will imbue them, somewhat, with the overall meaning of the question. I would be very interested to see what you come up with. I also think if one person gets one trigram and another person a different one it can possibly give me a much fuller answer. It is a real question by the way. I should add that I'm not trying to prove or disprove the I Ching as a form of divination, I feel it is valid, but it just hasn't been very valid for me that's all. So here it is........: "How can I (*&&%$#$&^(**)(*_)+_)((*&^&^%$#&^(*^()_* ?" ps. I don't believe being present or touching the coins makes any difference at all.

I used my 'bedroom skills' just last night in fact. There was chi flying all over the place I can tell you!

True masters of words and concepts/conceptlessness I have found on this site. I knew someone would quote the old 'knife, fork, spoon' cycle at some point, that old chestnut! But let me focus on this 'luminous kitchen'..... what makes a kitchen a kitchen? Is it not that all contained within the kitchen is(pretty much, attractive ornaments aside)food related? So is a kitchen without food related products and utensils(especially spoons though)a kitchen anymore? And if it could be said not to be a kitchen anymore then how can I partake of the food of life......OR would you disagree that I need to???? What a spoon comeback!!!! Or 'spoonback' I should say. 'Independantly manufactured' HAHAHAHAAHAHA I think Eagleshen may have to share that gold star/spoon.... still, Apepch7 may refuse due to the spoon being a 'non-cognizant sub-fraction of the un-arising spontaneous and yet omniscient luminous kitchen'. I still wonder how I can ever eat my soup without a spoon though. I don't think that's been answered, how can I eat my soup within this space time continuum??? Do I not need the structure of the spoon in order to contain the soup and transport it to my orifice? Tibetan spoon. When spooning goes bad(misguided practitioners)

I love that movie! Green eyed Chinese girls and Kurt Russel wearing a T-shirt with a Japanese sun on it. 'The Last Dragon' with Taimak had a kind of Chi thing going on at the end.

It's not so easy to find the balance between entertainment and education. For the most part movies don't educate and when they do it's only in a broad sense. I don't recall ever seeing a particularly Hindu movie either although many films have used the symbols of the gods in one form or another...... a film with Kate Winslett where she goes off to India and joins a cult is one that I do remember..... although the name escapes me. To be honest the Chinese movies do on occasion deal rather heavily in it, but not all of those are seen in the west. So, the main point is Hollywood has to make it relevant to westerners in order for them to make a decent amount of money, hence Star Wars. As for Asians in the movie It still often goes back to audience acceptance, as Bruce Lee was once told after having helped(I say helped, it was apparently his whole idea)developed the idea for the T.V series 'Kung Fu' "you're too Chinese to be a Shaolin monk".....or at least too Chinese to be accepted by western audiences. Some concepts are also too Chinese to be accepted by western audiences. Still, it's not impossible, it could be done and done well with the right angle, Scientology got their movie! Looks like we need a famous Daoist actor to get the ball rolling...once you've got the star everything else falls into place. Once Daoism becomes fashionable in Hollywood it will soon happen..... I'm hoping for Johnny Depp...... who could ask for more?

I am nowhere near qualified to write such a book, I am a mere teaspoon compared to many tablespoons even within this forum....and need I say, this thread. My God man! That's gold! I should imagine if there is a hell, it's a room with a huge table and thousands of famished people sat down with a piping hot delicious bowl of soup in front of them, yet either unable or unwilling to use their spoon in the correct fashion....doomed to an eternity of hunger! That's a metaphor for life you've just come up with.... how many of us right know are using our spoons correctly in order to fully benefit from the soup of life????? I had to sit down when I read that. There is no answer I could give that would be worthy of the question. But, it did set off a cord within me that perhaps resonates to something like this: 'Holographic Spoon Universe Theory'. 10 000 times!!! I played it once and it took me closer to the brink of insanity/enlightenment than I care to get! I'm glad I wasn't born in the era when people broke into song and dance during daily conversation. Recently I have been extensively researching spoons online(extensive means about 3 minutes to me)and I have uncovered numerous hidden links to spoons within the English language itself(and possibly other languages too). Take case 1, 'Spoonerisms'...... for example 'cop porn'/'popcorn', these I feel have been made use of as 'occult blinds', to send the seeker the wrong way, how cunning to use a 'spoonerism' to send the spiritual seeker the wrong way when, in fact, the big secret is right there in the word SPOONerism! http://www.fun-with-words.com/spoon_example.html See for yourself! My other favorites were: this is the fun part/this is the pun fart and the classic 'four of hearts'/'whore of farts'(I didn't write 'em). Also due to my extensive research I have uncovered......wait for it.......... a global conspiracy of epic proportions designed to relegate the humble spiritual spoon to the depths of the cutlery draw...... thus sidetracking our spiritual development!!! I have conclusive evidence of this which is as follows: Question: When, exactly, did you last hear of any of our spiritual leaders in history mention spoons??? Never right! By a sheer factor of odds at least one must have mentioned a spoon! But no, no trace can be found; coincidence? I think not. All trace of the humble spoon reference has been removed. Deliberately. I have painstakingly reconstructed some of the most famous quotes of our spiritual leaders as they would have been at the time before the 'Spoon Revisionists' got hold of them, they are as follows: Muhammad Ali: Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, 'scoop like a spoon' Jesus Christ Almighty!(at the last supper): 'All right, who's the joker that nicked my spoon again!' Lao tzu: A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single 'spoon' Popeye: I am, what I am, 'and what I am is a spoon' There are many, many more, but I really need to go to the toilet now. I also feel quite taxed due to my vision this morning of the 'four spoons of the apocalypse'. Spoon out.

The 'Order Of The Spoon' is always open to new members, but I should warn you, it's a path fraught with dangers. Mal used to be a highly talented 'Spoonite knight' of the spoon table until his favorite flavour of soup became unavailable(Oxtail)it was then he began using infernal passes of the fork over his chakras in order to attempt to bring it back again. He passed over to the fork side, and has had to don the Jim Carey mask ever since. He never realizes that even if his favorite flavour soup should come back he will not be able to consume it with a fork. Such delusions are common on the fork side of the plate. Me too..... if by 'spoon' you mean to respect all kinds of inanimate objects. Just kidding.

I must say, you've all done very well with this spoon thing, especially Eagleshen who gets 10 out of 10 AND a gold star(perhaps a golden spoon would be more fitting). I think you've really focused well on the non-dualistic use of the spoon in everyday life, I had never considered using the spoon in such a fashion.... it's opening a whole new world for me. Is their any particular kind of spoon you would recommend or is it the focus of the user that is more important rather than the utensil? Truly delectable. I raise my spoon in respect, in your direction. Truer words have never been said before about spoons. You ARE the spoon master...... if ever there was/is/will be one. Ahhhhh, so, we have a master of the left handed utensil path online do we. All you forkists are the same, it's all stab, stab, stab; will you never realize the artistry in the path of the spoon? I'm putting you on my duel list, it's getting rather full/empty now. How does 6:30 am on Sunday suit you? Spoon Vs. Fork.....witness how your prongs will slide off my curved spoon type implement. The dark days of the fork lords will soon be over. That's a man after my own heart if ever there was one.....that's hilarious!!! Dreamingawake: Inspirational Taomeow: That's not a spoon.... at first glance.... it then came to my attention that the hilt was rather elongated in comparison to the blade..... I see what you are showing me, there's a spoon hidden in the hilt isn't there! Possibly even a whole dinner set I'll warrant! Clever! Edit: A further thought has just occurred to me, it occasionally does: 'Is an unused spoon still a spoon?'.

Proof positive, but I feel what you have left out is, in fact, more revealing........puddings? A few secrets up your sleeve now doubt! As a untensilist I am greatly offended by your suggestion of heresey, I therefore am left with no other recourse except to challenge you to a duel....spoons at dawn it is! I will be seconded, of course, by the infamous Earl of Spooner(distant relative of the Spencer family who deliberately concealed their spoon heritage). That's right! That whole opposable finger/thumb thing never fooled me either! Might I ask if you incorporate spoons into your daily taoist ritual/non-ritual? And if so, what is the deeper significance? There is, in actual fact a branch of Chinese medicine that does make use of spoons http://www.earlyspring.com.au/services.htm#guasha So, I have even surprised myself by finding a direct spoon link to the 'hidden arts'! I'm onto something, I can just smell it!

It's been a long time since I heard anyone call someone a 'spoon'. I applaud your cutlery insults, it's high time cutlery insults came back into fashion. Fork this, I'm off.

You're still young and dumb, were you not you wouldn't have felt the need to post the put down. And were I not still 'young and dumb' also, I wouldn't have felt the need to point it out to you. The perfect post is no post at all. But that would make for a rather dull forum. Lucky we have people posting so we can all fulfill our uncontrollable urges at fuck-wit-hood....as can they. Lets all get it over and done with, and wear our underpants on our head and dribble. Your sarcasm kills me everytime I love it. Always makes me laugh out loud. I would however say both are possible. Cold fusion is a software language, so if he has a pc in his garage he can can. New life forms.....come on..... babies?

Poor Pluto So unfair Man is always trying to pretend his shadow Is not there

My point was simply that they focus on the passport. And I was not taking only BRITISH(your caps)accents alone. Still do-able in my view. I've known Russians that teach English... and that's without one of the major English speaking countries passports. They were, however, on a student visa. edit: Oh.... I just GOT what you were saying..... I got a slow brain today
