innovation and advances are always, maybe not always, but maybe 99% of the time met with ridicule and hostility, yondaime, i have followed a few of your postings here with interest creative people often have some form of ritual they go thru to help unlock the process stick with it

i remember when i was almost the only one hanging out in the basement/off topic and it has since become far more active. i used to come to the lobby and if it appeared to be a real new bum and not a bot, and no one else had welcomed them yet, then i would, there used to be a bum who was very good at welcoming and consistently did so, and yes, i agree that many fine topics could fizzle out here in the lobby as not too many bums ever look here, but if the way it is now , is working to control spam with eggs spam with spam and biscuits, not sure if its such an easy choice to make on how to handle it

flo, you took the bible code home study course or this just comes naturally to you? looking at the same group, i clearly see it saying "Your Awesome" of course that code could have been meant solely for me

"I've thought about that too, just spreading it around" i mentioned 'trade around', if you can produce large volumes, then maybe the bizness thing all of that is up to you 'How would a person get a patent anyway? Anyone know?" uncle google knows

i am wondering what the alcohol content is? becoz if its over 0.5% our friendly govt will consider it an alcoholic beverage, http://www.ttb.gov/faqs/kombucha-faqs.shtml if it were mine, i wouldnt tell the fda or the govt at all, and i would just trade it among friends, its kinda hard to ship/mail liquids sometimes too. i'd like to try some

i was so fortunate to find chris matsuo, especially when i did. i am still very fortunate to remain in contact with him. thank you chris matsuo. feels like family,,,

if its crazy for me not to require huge sums of money to live a happy healthy lifestyle, then call me crazy. "What if you need ten bucks a day on marijuana and bagua, rummage the trash for food and shack up in a commune to enjoy nature while I spend a hundred bucks a day on healthy food and a clean apartment in a safe neighborhood? " i do have my own cottage, and if i want to rumage, i prefer to do so out in the forest, where i can find all kinds of useful things. today i heard of where i could probably pick 20 gallons of blackberries. i have no idea or concern of market prices, i gather the blackberries so i can have blackberries. in my neck of the woods a blackberry is not a cell phone. bagua and marijuana are also free for the taking here. except for i am about to acquire a new bagua form, and i will pay for it, and then it will be free from now on. you were the one who mentioned the 2,000$ bottle of wine. i can make my own wine, sometimes i do. "People are dependent on money in various degrees" agreed, and this is my original position. "You don’t think wealthy people can be spiritual and like nature too?" when you look at nature, do you look at it for its aesthetic beauty, or look for an opportunity to turn a fast finacial profit? i dont look down on anyone, i never said anything bad about the rich. you did mention that not being rich financially is a failure and i disagree with that. there is more that flows than just money. i am actually a very grateful person. one thing i am grateful for, is that i dont have to have huge sums of money for my self esteem, health, happiness, over all well being etc regardless of if i have monies or not, i am getting along fine.

" These are usually light trance states and not a whole lot more than exploring subconscious realities of your own. This is also how neo/core-shamanism works." snowmonki, that is a good point. the reason i am sticking with XYP is that we remain in a fully aware state and we dont go into a trance state, not even a light trance state. we are not shaman/trance based system. also, back to h.uriahr and others questions about my experiences with Fu Fak Shen. i am mostly quite about this becoz i do not want to be suggestive in any way to what experience you may have. does that make sense? i want you to enter with an un-biased open mind. and investigate and judge it for yourself. over time we can share experiences with each other.

i found a few quartz crystal arrowheads in a creek once, lol i still have one. and i was amazed that the indians could could make those. i guess everything worked out for ya, cat. i am not sure if i could go thru with having that type of transmission or not. you and your first sifu are quite interesting, transmission too

" I had my skull turn to crystal once." that is interesting.

i didnt say that i live on no money, but i am certainly far less dependent on money than you are. i live in a cottage with a yard of very tall trees and a nice creek flowing thru the backyard. i have it set up to suit my needs, qigong, meditation, and baguazhang. i listen to song birds all day instead of heavy traffic and sirens blaring. so, it isnt going to suit your tastes. i enjoy hanging out in nature. it is different strokes for different folks sree, that is what i am saying, we all dont need to be high rolling stock traders living on the 42nd floor drinking a 2,000$ bottle of wine to be content. i could get by on that amount all year if i wanted. becoz, my currencies are resources and resourcefulness, creative thinking, understanding. the tree of life is a natural thing and it is not traded on the chicago mercantile exchange. you cant look up a stock quote for it. i am dependent on air and water, and i enjoy cleaner quality of those than you do, becoz it is different strokes for different folks, you will have to change your outlook, if you truly want to find the Tao of dying. one size does not fit all. that type of size doesnt fit most people. the less natural one becomes maybe the more money they need? it is a good arrangement, you hang out with a money tree and i hang out with a tree of life. you dont see that there is a difference. thats why your stuck.

flowing hands, thanks for your clarification. in our exchanges, have i ever insulted you? i am not basing my expressions here on books, i express from experience. my experiences are not limited to my taking a correspondence course. and it is true that a face to face conversation is quite a bit different. i have had a handful of bums ask me how i feel about you, and i answered each of them, that i like you and you are an interesting poster here. you still continue to judge a system that you have no experience with, that is what i am trying to tell you. you are in a system based on trance and in our system we stay fully aware. a link was posted here to the XYP thread where we exchanged about this previous. i am sure that your position is not changed much and mine neither. your attention is on a star rating system? if it makes you feel better, you can have my stars.

you are welcome h.uriahr. i understand i am one of the few bums who is a member of this clan, so, i am the one most likely to share about it. sometimes it takes time for me to respond. anyone can also pm me, but i like the idea its all out here for all to see, is this system fireproof or not, we all need to keep testing it and investigating it, and as more of us gather experience i look forward to future conversations about XYP.

a weekend in london sounds very nice and if i could, i would attend there as well. maybe next year i can attend a london or other europe event. i feel fortunate that i took advantage of the opportunity when it presented itself. me and lc went over on a shoestring budget. one of the things i have heard lc tell others is that one of the things that still amazes him , is that this was all given to us free of charge.

last year me and lazy cloud traveled several hours each way from kentucky to northern virginia. we crossed rugged country with majestic mountains to arrive just in time. we are both greatly looking forward to attending this years initiation event, and it looks like 4 or 5 making the trip from kentucky this year. good luck to you in your efforts to attend the london event.

for someone to suggest like you have , that, the only way to gain access to immortals is thru you flowing hands, to say someone else is a cultist is absurd. XYP does not use a Monkey God, i respect your choices. i never said that XYP is the only way to immortality. for example Taoist Yoga may be a way, there are others. XYP is a very simple and direct method, my experience in one year has been remarkable and beyond your imagination.

your patience and love of puppies is rewarded, and it is true, as adept suggests, that i as a Tao Yu (initiated) cannot share certain things to those not initiated. however, i will say that part of my benefit from Fu Fak Shen has been a more pure refined way of thinking in general. it has removed a long standing "vice" that had long hindered me. is has even kept me out of harms way more than once. when i do qigong or baguazhang the energy feels different.i am much more aware of qi. my studies at eku is rich and my grades all a's. meditation is much much deeper. i am still me and i am free to step away from this clan at anytime. i cannot think of any reason , why i would tho. there are very confirming moments from time to time, and actually each and every shen gong session is confirming. i have not had more than 2 coughs or 2 sneezes this past year.
