  1. You've got to try this guys:

    "Now, in the new era of the millennium," -the male dildo !! 'not only am I the president-- but I'm the best customer' :wink: that is pretty cool. I guess it's small so you shouldnt have too much of a problem sticking it up your ass... =p what i noticed though-- is that climax is unavoidable. as with any prostrate stimulation, you will leak. I guess this is all seminal fluid and not semen... but do we know if the jing is the semen or the seminal fluid? (interesting point to make... maybe even a worthy question for one of the guru's..) hell, maybe the jing is lost in any ejaculation-- it si the ACT of ejaculation that results in lost jing, the fluid ejaculated is unimportant. these are good questions... (?)

    I was talking about the teacher training... not cohen himself, but a dude who was certified to teach by cohen. should have made that more clear. yeah, I bought some taoist breathing meditation CD's... though by a different master. (forget whom.. the CD set was popular at HT a long time ago..) it is really cool learning that shit... too bad I almost never do that anymore sometimes its the technique that deserves praise, not so much the master who teaches it? I'm 18 :?
  3. maybe I over-emphasize my will to search out these people, these groups, these ideas. you criticize me but in a very kind way and I love you for it. In fact I would appreciate you if went went into more depth, if you can... I guess I am not sure if I fully understand what you are saying.. what you are replying to.. about merit... I have never before bought into too deeply these buddhist concepts... I am very taoist at heart... nihilistic taoist, no dogma, very zen taoist. I have seen alot of talk about feeding ghosts and stuff... about how it will be cause for good fortune in my next life... I have no next life... "I" only exist in this life... my energies will be recycled into several different people, all of whom will not be 'me'. and frankly I dont give a damn about those people, and how they develope spiritually. (not to be rude, or portray any sense of negative energy, as my misleading language may allude...) perhaps you, or anyone, can convince me? I am open to explanations, 100%... and, oh dear, my occupation in the army.. ! it is very curious how it will effect me spiritually ! I dont worry, though. it is only a short 4 years.. old chinese custom was to study and practice confucianism, until they came of age and turned to taoism. the purpose was to set a solid foundation in 'this' world, so they could practice taoism with less hindrance. it's easier for a financially secure, well-supported man to practice taoism than a bum.. what I am saying is that it is very necassary that I have joined the army, if I want to set a successful foundation for the future.. (am I astray from the point?...) if I get the chance to kill a man (truthfully, I would like to kill a fundamentalist. I would like to know what it feels like to kill a man...) I dont very seriously believethat it would effect me too much.. again I believe in the non-dogmatic side of taoist philosophy.. and to me killing a fundamentalist may perhaps be equal to killing a goat... they are both unawakened, they are both animals. one is smarter than the other, that is all. (the fundamentalist is smarter than the goat, I mean... better make that clear ) the only murder that I consider sinful (just becuase it is a shame..) is the murder of awakened beings or of those who are on a true and serious path to awakenment. theirs are lives (or no- lives? :wink: ) that are worth anything... wisdom ! yes, wisdom is indeed a prerequisite to good practice.. it is easily fleeting, but again it is easily attained. daily study of the tao te ching will make one man wise enough for three. when I first got into taoism, I read the tao te ching daily, and lived by it.. and though you are only wise for as long as you are reminded and inspired, (that is to say, it goes away after a while ) I was incredibly wise for periods of times. I dont doubt I can be it again very easily, when the time comes when I need it the most... I am treating this like a game... yes, perhaps... I dont know... you can never take your spirituality too seriously.. until you sit all day in meditation and be not even aware of your spirituality, you are not taking it seriously enough. oh what a lengthy post -!! max you have inspired me to write a brilliant post.. I have poured out quite a bit of myself... I'd be absolutely delighted for a decent reply... hopefully I'll be in a similiar, inspirational mood when I read it.
  4. remember when you first started doing 'empty mind' meditations... instead of opening your mind, you closed it? you were still in your head, concentrating on not thinking. refered to as being a 'blockhead' in secret of the golden flower. any of you still do it time to time? also, goddamit (!), when I meditate or cultivate and feel surge of energy my right hand gets all tight... muscles tense up and fingers spread apart. almost like energy is forcing itself out or something like that. what the fuck, I havent heard of this before? could this be... karma? excess energy? anyone know what I'm talking about? I asked before I dont think I was happy with any of the answers.. if I got any, I dont rmember :roll:
  5. A couple things...

    you know what man, that is actually a pretty good idea. I've always been somewhat reluctant contacting people personally... especially people I somewhat admire or respect.

    man I think it sounds like a bunch of crap.. ! I trained for a little while under a teacher who was in turn trained by mr cohen. the dude was very gifted.. very advanced. ! I wonder how I compared to him. There were many times when I trained under him where I was positively high. (I mean sometimes I WAS high, but the energy really made me high, not so much the grass)... so I guess that means he had so much more than me. but despite the fact he was so much better than me... I just wasnt very impressed. I think becuase whatever he taught me was redundant, or I knew it... he talked about the most boring shit... man and it really freaked me out when they read my mind. Im still so young........................ (.............................................)
  7. I got a few paragraphs in.. uninteresting... I stopped at "...it's not right becuase its not right livelihood" or whatever, something like that, about fucking whores. but you dont agree with the more nihilistic principle of taoist philosophy... (?)..... There is no dogma when taoists are concerned... at least as far as *I* am concerned, eh.
  8. looking at it, there is alot of shit I can buy. what do I need? what have you guys tried? what do you suggest.... etc...
