welcome, have you looked at qinggong in regards to how it relates with parkour?

nicely done

also i never defined "enlightenment" "You're defining enlightenment from a human (6 sense) perspective. You don't have a clue what you would "prefer" at a 7th or 8th consciousness level, because you're stuck in the lower 6." and "With that above in mind,...do you really know that after enlightenment you carry water and chop wood,...if not, stop saying it. Stop reinforcing a belief. " do you know for certain that one does not? if not , then stop telling others to stay quite. "A tantric master said" yeah alot of folks have said alot of things. i resonate more with what lao tzu and chuang tzu said. what suninmyeyes said

here in my neck of the woods of appalachia we generally ignore such things as prohibitions. hard cider is good for ya. http://www.motherearthnews.com/Real-Food/2007-10-01/How-to-Make-Hard-Cider.aspx always been a goal of mine (not yet fulfilled) to make muscadine wine. i have made elderberry. its good for ya too. but there is something about that elderberry i cant quite put my finger on...... http://www.wineryadventures.com/Health%20Benefits%20of%20Elderberry%20Wine.htm wine on the wild side its good to be wild i have heard it is finer in caroliner? fo sho nothing quite so fine as dandelion wine newsbreak, its good for ya http://www.calmmindpainfreebody.com/gardening/dandelions/dandelions.html folks use common sense , do not gather your dandelions from areas that have used pesticides or weed killers. ponders pine wine

" I thought scientists were interested in the objective truth " there would be very few rare such creatures. of course virginia republicans are now considering mandatory anal probes for senior men. virginia the home of thomas jefferson, mind you. this lessor of 2 evil thing is way beyond outa hand. dont ya think? there is no longer any lessor. matter of fact i had my double expresso shots this morning and i now fly the bird towards all politicians. evil sadistic power monger creatures they be. http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/signers/jefferson.htm rain down a n a r c h y tao rain down a n a r c h y a change is gonna come

i will never forget when in the arkansas woods i discovered muscadine. wow i hung out with those the better part of that day. i can only find morels maybe a couple of days out of the year. but yeah they are tasty. so many herbs also available but many think of them as scary too. and now i have my own gogi patches out. dine on the wild side.

one would almost wonder if this process, the primaries ,are not a rigged deal. no gingrich or santorum on the virginia ballot. and even if santorum had won ohio, he couldnt receive the delegates? some corporation can do a fine job of labeling, presenting, have the coolest comercials, and spend the most outlandish amounts of money to advertise to promote a certain brand of dog food, but what happens when the dog wont eat the food in the can? and it looks like ron paul is just in the race to keep the conservative votes divided, giving romney the advantage. i wonder if romney will spend like he is now if he becomes president? unrestrained spender. he does have as many home states as the bush clan.

agreed. in my own experience i first tried to boost the kidney before i approached my lungs. some of the herbs i chose were beneficial to kidney and lung.

"If you could manifest a living fish on bones, over, and over,...do you really think such a person is going to chop wood? " you can do this Vmarco?

maybe my favorite so far. pony is welcome to come play baguazhang and tai chi with the horses down here in da woods. remember "its all good in da woods" and now and then some crafty irishman horse observer (from winter hill)where-ever that is??) can predict , 2 weeks in advance a horse that will win at 20+ to 1 odds. useful knowledge for the ( down trodden and poor ) privy yeah, i am betting 200 on dat horse. but i am a gambling taoist the unicorn is of the clouds, his attribute is "turning like a tornado". he kicks and attacks with his front hoofs as well as the horn on his head.

"massive amounts of magic ingredients" "i overdosed and was fine" what the ??? " high as can be! "(naturally of course) "high as can be , cant state that enuff" "moving right along" "its nuts!" nope its pollen , pine nuts is also recommended "we need, we need" "it tastes like the forest" "you can see i have been eating this" "tinctures are more powerful" i always say this!! "however, i am not a doctor" meaningful disclosure "i really like this stuff, it is like whew" "kinda looks like gold" "unlocks peak physical and mental health" i would add spiritual "he likes it" BUT, why buy it if you can easily find and harvest it yourself?? (and tincture it too) "this is a lovely pine tree" "there is the gold, it is in there" "cool"

"Let's put it this way,...if a Buddhist who carries water, chops wood before uncovering their light, and must carry water, chop wood following their enlightenment, then the whole of Buddhism must be disregarded as nonsense." so you convince someone else to do your chores for you? i prefer to do my own. it is part of my self reliant idea

here is a possible third one. due on about december 21, 2012

i am up with (or is it down with ) the cafe idea or a tea house. (in north america) some parts of rural north america are still very cheaply obtained. and some places you dont need a bizness license anyways what is magic anyways? to find what you are looking for?!?! here you could find some taoist minded folk with access to ancient native american thought. and not far from http://greatserpentmound.com/ and http://www.virtualto...esort_Park.html and http://en.wikipedia....Red_River_Gorge if this is not forestry enuff for ya. i frequently visit http://www.nps.gov/grsm/index.htm they have some dedicated baguazhang players there ((and if ones bgz was at a decent level maybe a playful black bear to practice with . well kinda half way joking about that and i also frequent http://www.fs.usda.gov/cherokee/ i have great friends there and enjoy its fine energy and there are the visits to Cherokee Elders and i am looking for taoist minded folks in this area its all good in da woods however there are a few things i would only mention in a PM that one may need to be aware of. like an entirely new sense/dimension of awareness' is certain to happen

nice post Jamyang Dorje. also cordyceps and mullein, siberian ginseng. i was also told gecko but i have not tried it. for me , my latest return to chi kung was forced due to lung function and thru chi kung and a few herbs i increased my lung function 1000% in less than 3 years. western medicine was useless and i doubt i ever return to a western Dr. unless a car accident or sth like that.

to repeat what MH said "I already live in a form of anarchy" Zen Nomad stick with it, it is a noble undertaking and it is not going to be easy. patience, perserverance,........

i like gail's commentary on carry water chop wood sinfest i will have questions later! http://www.care-givers.com/pages/journal/chopwood.html

rbv "No job to go to, you lucky bum" a tao bums work is never done

"If one believes "Before enlightenment carry water chop wood, After enlightenment carry water chop wood"" how can it be any other way? magic can be be found in the most mundane of circumstances.

you have entered a "duty free" zone.

yeah Scotty i gave ya plus one , however here we do have a Zen Nomad. nomads just pass thru lands to other lands, right? they dont actually have to have any of their own. the traveling anarchists

i almost signed up for a bronology course today. but it was introductory level. i imagine that my time spent on this thread alone has me up to the intermediate level courses.

ok i re read the thread and realize i mis read a part of it earlier. and so you know, i live in probably one the the most anarchy regions of usa. for generations long passed never trusted uncle sugar and the g men in these parts. for it is well known that they speak with a forked tongue. no one has ever knocked on my door and asked for my vote. self reliance is the first step imo. ha! i do grow sweet potatos btw soon enuff this is all gonna sort itself out anyways despite what political party thinks they are in power. just be at the ready. i think your vission may be one of clans, tribes, coops, communes, gangs, etc?
