  2. Hi :)

    Welcome to TDB Mel.
  3. Hello

  4. Looking for Advise on a Daily Practise

    LDT practice is a core practice well worth cultivating. Keep going. If it's an intellectual framework you want for your practice you may desire to read some Taoist literature.
  5. I did a short divination for what each system offers you at this time: SFQ Offers 1. Action 2. Anxiety Pangu Offers 1. Envy Flying Phoenix Offers 1. Rest and Rejuvenation 2. Strategy Allow with me to share with you my interpretations. SFQ will offer you an initial jump to action and a feeling of being on the path, but will eventually leave you with a sense of worry and doubt, like you may or may not have taken the right path for you and this will cause you to fragment. Pangu will leave you feeling jealous and envious of other paths, feeling like you've been sold a false bag of goods (this i not a reflection of the system, just what it offers you at this time...it may offer something different later). Flying Phoenix will offer you some initial experiences of Chi, Stillness and Relaxation...but you will soon start to look elsewhere for other methods in a habitual pattern of trying to map the world. Advice Cards 1. Financial Constraints 2. Caring Connections My interpretations of this is that you should approach your cultivation choices less from the idea of your making an investment and you want that investment to return dividends otherwise your wasting your time....instead base what you choose on a Heart to Heart connection. What methods you feel tug at your heartstrings and make you shake with joy. This will be a good yardstick for you in terms of how much benefit you will receive. Hope this was helpful. Cheers.

  7. Some mental problems are Hardware, not Software

    Definitely, had some illnesses in the past where despite my best efforts, i just couldn't "get over them" like i wanted to. Very frustrating.

  11. Most systems worth there salt are usually "received" teachings. Nothing unusual or crazy about this for the accustomed and studious practitioner.
  12. New here

    Cool intro, welcome to TDB.
  13. Is there an ignore function? Could there be?

    The ignore function.....a very underrated and underused part of TTB.
  14. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

  15. Some mental problems are Hardware, not Software

    For the most part i agree with this. Just remember the difference between software and hardware is a matter of density...not existential nature.
  16. Howdy! Advice on qigong teachers please...

    A Qigong movement (Moving of Yin and Yang) that is a core exercise in the Spring Forest system. He also has an interview here on the forum. Have fun. http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/16067-interview-with-chunyi-lin-of-spring-forest-qigong/
  17. Ttc 56 - Talk or not?

  18. Is the way to heaven through hell?

    "Hell" in the christian sense....is a fiery abyss below the earth's crust.....IME this is a reflection of Christianities deeply corrupted relationship with sexuality. But in more practical terms....the path is difficult....you do need to pass through a kind of hell in which you must endure, conquer and cleanse all of the impurities that exist within you. This is the "hell" of the path.
