Ah , these Taoist are very clever .

Hi , Excuse my ignorance , but what is actual Taoist birth control ? Is it the non ejaculation or is there more to it ?

Hi Jeff , hope you dont mind , just want to elaborate this a little as there seem to be a lot of misconception or not a clear enough explanation around the forum .... ..chakras are formed where pranic channels meet . Chakras do not " focus on energy of the mind ", but in practise with chakras it is involved -- in which way energy/prana , breath , mind and physical correlate. Energy does not have attributes on its own . What defines a personality is the type of obstructions present. Main chakras are in the spinal cord and they correlate to various plexuses which in turn govern different functions in the body . Chakras are also correlated to different planets (to which many people think its new age -- but it is NOT , human being is not only a part of earth , but part of everything that exists and through deep meditation and insight one can find out many things for themselves) , microcosmos and macrocosmos . However this is for another discussion .. What is interesting that in some yogic practises -- practicioner detangles the" granthis" through work with chakras -- or "pshyicic knots " Brahma Granthi , Rudra Granthi and Vishnu Granthi . These knots do correlate to Dan Tians by their positioning , but energy is not stored in them -- rather they are detangeled which creates free flow . Just like to further mention in general that not all yogic schools work with kundalini or even mention it , it is a popular misconception . Also a lot of yogis do not believe into kundalini coiled 3 and half times at the base of the spine , but that it is awakaned on top of the head . Some say kundalini is so very rarley awakened , and once it is awakened one does not have anything to worry about whatsover , becouse deep insight is achieved . Personally I do not care , just haring some gossip I have gathered so far while hanging in da Yogi Hood .

I was around Nepal when he was over 6 months into his meditation and people kept on calling him Buddha and he kept on saying that he is not Buddha and that he just wants to meditate and asking people to leave him to it as people would constantly come around and disturb etc . Everyone is constantly learning their thing in life one way or another . Power means nothing without real life Elegance in doing everything .

Once I saw this lady at the jewlerry shop trying on different rings and figuring out if any of the stones she is wearing are going to "argue" with each other or if they can "live "together " (her words ).. it took her long time to decide on " potential friends" but once it was done -- she was satisfied .

Like this woman ? Peace Pilgrim near Topeka, Kan., in the late 1970s. She had walked 25,000 miles by 1964, and continued for almost two more decades. She carried only a pen, a comb, a toothbrush and a map.

Most of yogic practises concentarte on regulating the flow of prana and not storing of the energy . Different type of work is done .

i shouldnt have looked at those images ...

By the way SOG it was nice to see the video .

I agree , there is a lot of people with different powers and can do unusual feats . There are curse wars going on as a normal day to day practise as well and it can be mad . Some people take up one practise to gain power only and NO philosophy of enlightement or virtue or similar behind it and can really learn some wierd stuff . But inside is sitll plain , common person -- unconneted or worse developing hard core demonic qualities . A casual tourist would not know of and see many things or know where to look unless there longer period ...My family lived in SE Asia loooong time so they would tell me stuff . However people who embody wisdom and genuenly want to benefit others are rare .

Just read this on Spring Forest Chunyi Lin website , looks good .. http://www.springforestqigong.com/energy-of-food/category/recipes/spring-recipes/

Yes . By deep observations between these and yourself and possible connection -- it is possible to discern wherther it is your energy field ( which would be influenced by current state of mind ), more subtle vision developing or something else . I also believe that this is how vision works and it is not mystical , it just that light is like a skeleton of more condensed physical plane . Van Gogh saw it too ..

Not Void , I see these things in light and in darkness I see even more patterns and /or colours , so as I have mentioned before -- just really observe it and meditate on it and you will definetly come to know if you are seeing floaters ,your own energetic field or "light"patterns that everything is made of or some sort of optical illusion .

Bear in mind that everything is made out of different patterns and light and can be visable to some people . Different places , objects , trees , people , empty spaces even thoughts have all different vibrations and light patterns . If observing carefully it is possible to find out how and whys .

Promptly , we had similar laughing expirience in local supermarket . So there was a meowing sound , like a small cat wanting something . I thought :oh they got a new cat ! Yey ! And imeddaitley proceeded looking for her/him following the sound ... ...but to my dissapointmet and astonishment constant meowing was coming from this regular looking guy (!). So he kept on meowing and after about 2 min I just couldnt believe it . Than other costumers stated to wonder aloud if the cat was in the shop and everyone turning and looking for a cat . Even a kid started to wine that she wants to see the cat . When the "cat guy "left" it become clear that it was him . So everyone burst out laughing . Shopkeeper says that he always meows .

haha so you too know how the power can overpower . This is not childproof ! Yes detachment to the outcome is my practise too , it - is - a lot of work , but there is no turning back . I feel it is an entry point into a completley different way of living , everything changes , turns upside down -- totally dfiferent laws apply . What is right and wrong and fair and just and how the things should be acquiers a different -- much wider flexible dimension . Incredible really .

Well , if I had my every thought manifest immediatley -- it would be a very strange world to live in . So greatfully Nature protects like this . If I had high level super powers I would probably die , go mad , maybe missuse the powers or get ill ( and than die ) . My container for super powers is not fully baked yet , it needs to still cool down a little . One time years ago I practised A LOT , on and on and on . Some power came and certain abilities were born , but it was too intense and eventually I had to ask my than teacher for help . Luckily he is really skilled and helped me go back . On another note: What CT says -- it is true about people in Asia , they do a lot of this kind of stuff that JC shows in the video . I think it is matter of different priorities and way -- taste in life . Also this stuff is normal over there , here you may end up in mental institution or god knows what . There are practicioners with power in Europe , I know of some people who can some crazy stuff and see through walls etc. ,have their teachers visitng them in astral body in their room while awake and recieve teachings and that being proved etc .But ground in Europe is not fertile for discussing it on larger scale -- even with fellow practicioners . When I was in India I spoke to yogi called Pilot Baba and he does undeground samadhis and underwater samadhi and stays like this for some days . He definetly has powers ( that is all I can say -- cant judge his level on enlightement or whatever ). He said that he wanted to demonstrate his powers in Europe , but goverment DOES NOT allow it .

The thing is you just never know , becouse there is potential in everyone to be anything or suddenly change under different circumstances . This is specially visable under pressure or in times of crises or war . Nicest people become beasts . Literally . Only people who know themselves can resist such strong psychic winds of kind of enjoying destruction or nastiness for the sake of nastiness . P.S havent really read the thread ,just felt to answer this ...

That was really nice .

What about being sure about "never being absolutely sure "?

Hey Mewtwo , nice to have an insight in your Way !

Oh.My .God. ... I cant watch it all .

Motivation changed few times since begging .. however what always remines is strong underlying knowing that this is how it should be in order to live life as me . Last year whilst travelling in Asia -- I had a car accident (again) when a mini bus somehow slipped and started to turn over . It was scary and could have possibly turned leatheal . That moment was a REAL test for state of peacefullness and ability to keep calm and switched on ... ...and in this moment all I could think of -- I AM NOT READY TO DIE YET , NOT WITH THIS FEAR to cross over on the other side as my lagguage . So ever since the practise is to recgonise and face all difficuties ,especially really difficult ones -- whenever they occur . This accident was very sobering and its impact message still rings through very vividly every day , it shook me up to the fact how important it is to travel light -- always. As if Godess herself was saying : hey wake up , what are you doing ?? no time for daydreaming !! Assigned daily practise and excersise helps of course helps to give vitality necessary to undertake this task , but constant viligance is where it is at .

Vortex said : These peoples have a LOT to teach us...yet our war against Nature is rapidly forcing them to the brink of extinction. After which, once they're gone, there will be no way to bring them or their deep Earth wisdom, back... This just reminded of what Kogi people from Sierra Nevada , Columbia have to say on that . Have posted about it before , but every time I see it -- it talks to me even more . http://tairona.myzen.co.uk/index.php/media/film/
