To all who would seek to charge money for the knowledge of the various ways I bring to you a warning: Make not a business of knowledge. If you do not stop seeking money in exchange for the information you possess you shall perish in a terrible fire. The time has come for the knowledge to be made free, rightfully as it is; purely as it will remain. Unsullied by the forces of monetary corruption. You cannot stop this as it is destiny. Good luck. Ben

Currently taking poll data to get a sense of daoist eating habits of daoists on this website. Cheers, Ben

Greetings, honorable daoist brothers and sisters ... Your lungs are your wings inturned. I need all of your data on qinggong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qinggong "Qing Gong (traditional Chinese: 輕功; simplified Chinese: 轻功; pinyin: qīnggōng; Cantonese Yale: Hing Kung) translates to "light body skill", and consists of two main skills: One being the ability to perform vertical jumps of a height many times that of the human body, and the other being the ability to travel long distances with a flitting, continuous motion as if flying." The practice has been popularized and simulated in wuxia films such as 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon' and 'Kung Fu Hustle' using wires: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_fu I submit my "findings" however few they are and would appreciate any knowledge you might have from Daoist (especially Daoist) or other perspectives to help to enhance my current understanding. Lung-gompa is the Tibetan equivalent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milarepa#Supernatural_running "The words lung-gompa convey this: lung denotes the elementary state of air, ... So the lung-gompa runner is one who completely masters breath meditation." http://tinyurl.com/lunggompa Ge Qiang who lives in the Ningxia province published a book on qinggong called "Zhonghua Wushu Qing Gong" -- read the following article: http://www.china.org.cn/english/NM-e/111309.htm Mr. Ge Qiang is of the Hui people who are Muslims. I think there is a lot to learn from him. Does anyone have or can they get his book? Ge Giang mentions another book in that article entitled "Shaolin Martial Arts Qinggong Private Edition" -- if anyone has this book or knows where it can be acquired I would greatly appreciate that information. Through inference I feel the practice Ge Qiang describes is similar in many respects to the French 'parkour' -- and a brief Google search turned up this thread on Martial Arts Planet where they state the same: http://www.martialartsplanet.com/forums/sh...6865&page=3 I am interested in the esoteric, internal, and occult knowledge. My studies have brought me to take very seriously the 8 directions and reconcile the motion of the Earth underneath my feet (moving southwest to northeast at approximately 1040 mph, orbiting the sun at approximately 30,000 mph) BK Frantzis writes briefly about Qinggong in his book 'The Power of Internal Martial Arts and Qi' on page 68 Etc. etc. etc. This is already too winded so I will close with a quote from the Martial Arts Planet thread that may be more germaine to our particular focus ... "I have also heard from the aspects of Qigong it is using Yang energy against the earth's natural Yin energy. Thus they are actually "repeling" each other similar to the thoughts of magnetism, thus resulting in somewhat of a levitating effect. This is of course pretty High level Qigong." I asked the master down the street from me about it and he affirms the notion set forth in the thread that it has to do with "moving the center" ... shifting the weight. I wish you all luck in your practice and am curious to hear what you think of this subject. Worldpeace, Benny

Does the MMS stuff have any relation to ORMES or ORMUS?

good vids

All of this talk about 'destroying microbes' leads me to wonder what happens to the GOOD microbes we are full of upon ingestion of these substances. great thread!

Hitler (or some nazi high up in nazi marketing) co-opted the swastika to be used in their iconography. "It occurs mainly in the cultures that are in modern day India and the surrounding area, sometimes as a geometrical motif and sometimes as a religious symbol." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika It's supposed to be a miniature diagram of the universe .. issue is not what it is but how it's drawn - clockwise or else ....

I find no humor in this. No. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi6QslyYHwI

My cousin went to study with a Daoist monk at an undisclosed mountain range in China. He said there was one daoist monk a male and another who was female. They did not live in the same abode but lived in proximity to one another and they were THE ONLY ONES really out there. Pretty cool. She's the herbalist he's the bagua master. works well.

Octaves? You are tuned in, goldisheavy. Coming to terms with the fact that we are under so much atmosphere traveling so fast is quite practically a traumatic experience. We are insulated by the ignorance of the truth that both empower us and strike deadly fear into us. With great power comes great responsibility. I will give this much more consideration. Good luck to you!

Can you cite this writing? I'd like to read it.

No I'm not Max's student. I don't know how much clearer I can get. I think I've made my case clear: don't charge people for knowledge. Cheers, Ben

Don't pluralize "dead" .. In English the correct grammar is simply dead, not 'deads' Cheers, Benjamin

I don't think you understand me.

i think everything that could possibly be a factor as regards ones skill level in anything is a factor. including diet. how can you say that what you eat has nothing to do with the health of your body? haven't you been reading the health literature? too much red meat is bad for you, hell -- a woman got a worm in her brain just 2 weeks ago from eating pork for god sake. how will taiji be effected by worm in the brain????!! diet is important. it's not the only determinator of overall ability bu it IS A FACTOR.

don't mind him froggie. he just feels threatened because toto is about to pull back the curtain on him
