    Are you still mad about the '92 world series too?๐Ÿ˜‚ What about the Rise of Skywalker?
  2. This Gary Clyman Video. Any Thoughts People?

    I don't know anything about that, I just read the tai chi classics book years ago. He's not good at tai chi.
  3. This Gary Clyman Video. Any Thoughts People?

    I heard Waysun Lao just took some basic White crane qigong and mixed it into basic Tai Chi. In any case he's not good at Tai Chi and his breathing method is a waste of time.
  4. Falun Dafa/Gong anyone practice?

    I'm not even American, America has the most talented and entertaining politicians though in the world. They'd whoop any other politician in any other country in the debates, it would be a massacre. I dont support Trump or his policies or care about any of that. He is an extraordinarily talented speaker and won fair and square though. I don't care about or support right wing stuff, or Republican politics. Elections are exciting and more fun than the Stanley cup though. But back to something more on the topic of this thread, Li Hongzhi would dominate Xi Jinping or any communist member in a fair and square contest on stage in front of the whole world. If he could be convinced to do it that is. I'd pay good money for a ticket to that battle.

  9. Falun Dafa/Gong anyone practice?

    No it's true, we're talking the communist party here, that's what they do. It's not just Falun gong either, they do it to all kinds of political dissidents, enemies of the state, etc. They're the reason the world is in lockdown too. No reason to defend communists, they are indeed illegitimate, liars, and the biggest enemy of the free world. Actually Li Hongzhi is another highly, highly, talented speaker. A rare skill and rare level of talent too. I think Li Hongzhi, well I dunno if he could beat say somrone like the president of the US at public speaking, but he's very good.

  12. Falun Dafa/Gong anyone practice?

    Oh I hadn't thought about Falun Gong in long time. By coincidence a female friend of mine who I had taught some qigong to back in the winter made contact with me recently and mentioned she had recently learned some Falun Gong. She seems to try a bit of everything, she doesnt know what's good and what isn't haha. She did Taoist tai chi society for a while which is not good, Hunyuan tai chi which is good, I taught her some Wudang and Chen style which is very good, another one of our mutual female friends taught her some twin hearts and pranic healing which is interesting but not my thing, lol I think I broke up their friendship cuz they both got jealous over me. I was trying to go for the threesome or date them both lol! Now she just started Falun gong. Falun gong itself if you read the main text, is actually really cool. It's very systematic, and transforms the whole body in a complete system , into every cell of the body. It also explains very clearly how it relates to, and fits in with every other style or practice, including Taoist qigong, Tantrism, Buddhism, Qimen, etc. Apparently if you practice it you can't practice other systems since it is still affecting you 24 hours a day even when not practicing and you don't want to interfere with the process. Really it's a more complete system than you're gonna find usually taught publically. Most popular systems out there and talked about in these forums are not good. I mean I'm pretty open minded but I dunno man, I hear about all these like kunlun kundalini qigong, or supposed Indonesian qigong teachers who do fake magic tricks, overly simple fragrant methods, or sexual practice qigongs claiming to be Taoist, and I dont think they are that good. Its absolutely not true that there are lots of good practices out there, there aren't. Some systems I do think are good are Wild goose qigong, Shing Ling Mei qigong, Intenal martial arts Taiji, Xinyi, Bagua( 99% of teachers are low level of skills and also arent lineage holders in lineage systems, a lot of teachers claim to be lineage holders in non lineage systems lol, even amongst the few good ones many are not all that good, so difficult to find a teacher, 99% of people who practice will never get to master level) Science of Being, Lya Yoga, Kundalini Yoga( although the kundalini yoga organizations are even more kooky than Falun gong). I'm interested in western magick practices, Tarot study by C.C. Zain, Huna practices, Kriya Yoga, Yantra Yoga, Tibetan Tantra practices, things like Tummo and Truhl Khor(but these are very difficult to find anyone capable of teaching you) Falun gong is highly unique, and yeah pretty cool, but I dunno. It's also a little weird. Like extreme or something, super strict. The Master does seem to elevate himself beyond all other teachers, and I've heard the practitioners can be overly strict like if you get hot and take your shirt off to practice that's "immodest". Lol come on. Take your shirt of if you want, if people dont like it that's their issue not yours. This is probably the most unique part of Falun Gong that differentiates it most from other practices. It's not just energy circulation through the meridians, but transforms the whole being of the person https://www.falundafa.org/book/eng/lecture1.html#7 Here's what I found when I looked onto it it. We can just on this thread most people are confused about the difference. I dont really know buddhism, so I was confused at first too. It seems that what Falun Gong teaches is the Universal Law, or Law of the Universe, Universal Laws, or Great Law, etc. https://www.falundafa.org/book/eng/lecture1.html
  13. It seems to me that spirituality forums, and especially this place, have a consistent record of attracting guys who basically, for whatever reason, can't attract women. I'm not sure why this is. They always get strong reactions from other posters, and often create a commotion. Some people call them sexist, blame them for their own problems, women rarely can grasp the concept of involuntary celibacy, etc. They don't bother me, and if anything I tend to sympathize. I understand that if someone is in their 20s and is a virgin, they are socially far behind most other males, and are considered weird by society. This in turn makes them even more hopeless.

Throughout history, teachers would teach mankind through oracles such as the I Ching to teach about oneness. About how everything is vibration , and octaves. Galaxies, stars, planets, moons, humans, light, matter, vapor, sound. The kings and emperors had no problem with this as long as they could become immortal, lead be turned to gold, or if their futures could be predicted.

  15. Boddhidharma & Shaolin 18 Lohan Hands Info on Boddhidharma (also known as Damo, Tamo, or Tatmo), the first Patriarch and founder of Zen Buddhism who traveled from India to China where he taught Yoga and the 18 Lohan Hands exercises, to the Shaolin Monks. These exercises became blended with many fighting arts over time. However, Bodhidharma did not agree with the Chinese Emperor's philosophy, because the Emperor thought he should build great temples in worship of Buddha and that was the best way to get to heaven and gain merits. But Boddhidharma knew it was only a person's heart that mattered and whether you are a good person. The Emperor and Boddhidharma did not agree, so Bodhidharma went to the Shaolin Temple and taught there. When he arrived he found the buddhist monks had poor concentration and their bodies were weak, so he taught them the 18 Lohan Hands routine.

  16. Lucid dreaming and dream interpretation is a part of many of the spiritual traditions of the past and is mentioned in many of the world religions. A good meditation and statement of realization/affirmation/mantra/whatever you do, to do at night before bed is to silently affirm to yourself, "I remember my dreams and am conscious while dreaming." It is also more healthy to gradually drift into sleep, than to pass out immediately. Another one to do in the daytime is, "My concentration is becoming perfect." And, "My concentration is perfect." Do not phrase an affirmation like "I will remember my dreams tonight", because your mind will then think that it is something that always will happen in the future, but not now in the present time, which is what time it always is. To mentally realize the statement to yourself is also more powerful than repeating a mantra over and over. You should also get in the habit of writing down your dreams when you wake up if you can, anything you can remember, even if it's just fragments or bits, immediately upon waking up. After several weeks or months you can look over the info over time and see if there are any patterns or recurring themes Here is a cool article about dreams and their meaning according to the readings of Edgar Cayce Edgar Cayce on dreams The Edgar Cayce Dream Dictionary. This page explains what the symbolic meaning of something in a dream is- Edgar Cayce Readings Dream Dictionary

  19. Property seizure and forced re-location of people in China is widespread- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tvNDYlUk84 Chinese Communist Party is the worst of the worst The World's 10 Worst Dictators article. This article came out in Parade magazine several years ago, so it's a little dated, but still relevant. This was also before the evidence of organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners in china by the CCP had been exposed-
  20. Most people who are even a little familiar with the chinese arts of Qigong or Taiji, have probably heard of Wudang mountain. Many qigong forms, are considered to be connected to or from Wudang. With some systems it is sometimes hard to verify if there is a direct connection to Wudang, or if it is just named after Wudang for reputation purposes or if there is only a vague connection of being inspired by Wudang. One of the most famous Taoist systems of qigong however, is the Taoist Long Men or Dragons gate tradition. This is without a doubt a real Wudang system. In the past it was very difficult to get an oppotunity to learn it, and was quite exclusive. Even today it may not be easy to find. An inheritor of the 17th generation of the Taoist Long Men tradition and Wudang qigong system was the great Pei Xirong. Information about Grandmaster Pei Xirong.- http://wushuguan.wordpress.com/interview-with-master-gao/about-master-pei-xi-rong/ http://wulinmingshi.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/pei-xirong/ Here is the only video I could find online of any footage of the Wudang system of the Taoist Longmen tradition. The editing is horrible, but the qigong system and movements it shows are absolutely some of the best qigong there is-
  21. Hillary and Trump

    I don't want this hag to win. I really, really dont. Media is ignoring the big wiki leaks revelation yesterday about Clinton, saudi, Isis connection. I fear we now need the FBI to come out with one more big revelation to take this thing over the edge and bring America back to the people. This is the only chance we'll have to hurt the establishment in any way, and it could slip away. Greatest candidate ever, most amazing campaign ever, and we could lose it. After a year or more, the hag can't win after all this time.
  22. Taoist Kunlun Mountain School, Dayan Wild Goose Qigong One of the most famous qigong schools in modern times is the Taoist Kunlun mountain school of Dayan Wild Goose Qigong. Dayan Qigong began to be developed in the Kunlun Shan mountains which are to the west of China and north of Tibet, during the Jin Dynasty 1800 years ago. Since Kunlun Shan is traditionally a place of great spiritual power, the inhabitants of the Kunlun mountain range were Daoist monks, and they shared Kunlun Shan with the Bar Headed Wild Geese, which are also spiritual symbols and birds of great ability and longevity. The monks would observe how the birds moved, lived, rested, recuperated, etc. and they began developing exercises and movements based on how the bar headed geese behaved. The monks combined their knowledge of Chinese medical principles and spiritual meditation with the bird's natural movements to create an extremely powerful, graceful, and natural system of healing and exercise. The wild goose system was inherited by the 27th lineage holder Grandmaster Yang Meijun who began learning at 13 years of age, from her Grandfather who had learned it from a Taoist monk from Kunlun mountains. Info on Kunlun Shan mountain range, including some of the largest mountains in the world Kunlun Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dayan Wild Goose Qigong was kept secret, taught only from teacher to disciple once per generation. The 27th generation lineage holder was Grandmaster Yang Meijun. Her life was legenary, she lived in a very difficult and dangerous China, and yet still lived to be 108. She could see a person's Qi, and she could emit 5 types of flower fragrance energy. She could easily emit energy to make a person shake. She could see and receive messages and read thoughts from a long ways away, as her sky-eye (3rd eye), and sky-door (at the top of the head) were opened due to practicing every night with her grandfather at 3:00 am. One time, I think during war, she was buried alive by soldiers. She used her abiltiy to use very little oxygen and to breath through her skin and pores. They thought she was dead, so they buried her alive rather than kill her. When they left she was able to dig her way out. After the cultural revolution Grandmaster Yang Meijun decided it was the right time to make Wild Goose Qigong known to the world, and she began to open up and teach publicly. Some information about this school.- http://www.qimagazin...ayanqigong.html More- Possible Society of California http://sevenstarswil...goosesystem.htm http://www.norwichwi....uk/qigong.html http://users.erols.c.../wildgoose.html Youtube clips of the cultivation forms and exercises- Wild Goose form 1, 64 post natal qigong movements- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2uP4rxfc1M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f0z10Z_538&feature=channel_video_title Wild Goose 2, 64 pre-natal qigong movements- Wild Goose patting and cupping meridians qigong- Wild Goose Kunlun Bagua Qigong- Wild Goose Spiral Qigong and development of refined dan or inner elixer energy- YouTube - Wild Goose Qigong 4 DVD Preview Wild Goose Soft Palm Qigong- YouTube - Wild Goose Qigong 5 DVD Preview Wild Goose Back stretching- Wild Goose 5 elements, 8 bagua steps, and 7 star big dipper long distance vision Dan qigong- Wild Goose Fragrance Qigong YouTube - Wild Goose Qigong 9 Full Youtube videos Here is the complete set of the first 64 movements, developing the post-natal Qi- or another version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRM1SQczf_I The second 64 movements, developing the original pre-natal Qi- or another version Dvd of the first couple sets Dayan Qigong, a popular Chinese qigong, belonging to Kunlun school in Taoism. It is so cool how these are movements of developing energy, and cultivating the bodies functions and systems, based on the movements of the Bar Headed Goose. The Bar Headed goose is a very special bird. It is a symbol of lengevity. It can fly higher than any other bird I know of, and travel over 1000 miles in a day. The Bar Headed goose has been seen flying over Mt. Everest. The ancient Taoists of Kunlun Shan knew the special significance of these birds, and mimicked the methods of energy development that the birds performed naturally and instictively. Some people may not be aware that animals naturally and instinctively are practicing Qigong all the time. it is only humans that need to learn, or re-learn, how to do it. Animals are already in tune with nature in their proper way. They can posses fierceness and strength to do things humans just can't. This is primarily due to their use of universal life energy from the universe. They know what to do and when, and they are aware of many things. They naturally open, close, and connect their acupuncture points in the way they move and the positions they sleep in for example.

  23. New molecular evidence disproves common descent Very cool Video explaining the basics of the theory of evolution- Evidence against evolution -The HAR-1 Gene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im0-LTqOHxs Examples of species that did not change for 100 million years- Audio interview-"Brain Evolution" Gene Reveals evolution to be false PodcastDirectory | Episode: Podcast So modern science for quite some time now, has believed that humans shared a common ancestor with Apes. Estimates of when humans branched off from apes range from about 4-2 million years ago, 10 million max being extremely generous......but about the time that the so called Australapithicus, or "Lucy", existed on Earth. In the past some scientists actually believed Lucy was an ancestor of humans though most now claim she was a supposed "cousin". Anyways, what this means, is that science claims that we had brains about the size of Lucy, which is very similar to a Chimpanzee's brain size, 2-4 million years ago. What this then means is that humans allegedly TRIPLED their brainsize in a few million years. This is completely outside the scope and range of what is considered normal evolutionary progress, as far as the past goes at least. and more- Brainstorms: New molecular evidence against common descent and- Actually more recently, the number of newly found microRNA's is over 400. These newly discovered regions have been called the HAR1 genes, or "human accelerated genes". They would appear to disprove and go against common descent. Since the bigger the brain is in an animal, the harder it should be to evolve, because if there are mutation in a brain that size, they are almost inevitably harmful and fatal, and yet humans tripled their brainsize from apes in way less time than it took the whole rest of evolution, like from bacteria to animals, to happen. This doesn't make any sense now does it? It should have taken more time for humans to evolve out of animals than the whole rest of evolution before that point since creatures had way smaller brains in the beginning. There is more genetic difference between the brains of chimps and humans, than there is chimps and chickens- HHMI News: Researchers Identify Human DNA on the Fast Track How could you possibly explain this? Scientists can't even do it and are completely baffled. What type of genetic mechanism could allow for that? Some scientists have proposed that micrRNA has much more of an effect on genes than previously thought and that sciene's whole view of how genetics work must be reconsidered. What are the odds of this happening through random mutations? Astronomically low. To sum it up, since humans allegedly branched off from apes, there have been at the least, hundreds of thousands of mutations in hundreds of thousands of genes. This is not normal evolution by any previous precedent. Considering the harmful effects of mutations in general, it's not even really possible. Ok, but I know what some are going to say.....they'll say "So what? Just because we can't explain it all in detail and just because there are things we can't fully explain yet, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Just because you think it's unlikely or impossible, doesn't mean it didn't happen." Well ok, but then you need to read this.... Now genetic data reveals that the bigger the brain the slower it should evolve, that seems to disprove the notion of "Human Accelerated Genes" Planet of the brainy apes - Cosmic Log - msnbc.com From here- Brain size and evolution: is there a valid correlation?

  24. The Gospel of Thomas

    The Gospel of Thomas Video about the Lost Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, which many historians feel contains the oldest content and is historically closer to Jesus than the 4 biblical Gospels are. It is written in the form of simple sayings and parables said by Jesus. The Gospel of Thomas is a closed-door, or secret teaching.To understand it you have to be a part of the lineage of Thomas, you had to be a gnostic. So the academics or researchers of today cannot fully fathom it's meaning- Some people are not aware that there are more Gospels than just the 4 main ones in the modern bible. Most of Jesus' Disciples have a Gospel. One of the most famous that has been found is the Gospel of Thomas, it is especially famous because it was found in it's complete form, and none of the other ones were, just fragments of them. So the question then becomes which Gospel is the most authentic and the closest to the teachings of the Grandmaster, Jesus Christ. Hardcore Christians don't want to admit that it could be older than their gospels, so they will always point out that the actual physical text we have of the Gospel of Thomas is in fact from hundreds of years after Jesus. However, according to high level scholars like Koester of Harvard, or Elaine Paegels, the content of the Gospel of Thomas is older than the papyrus of it that we have today. Why is that? Another factor we have to explain and look at now then, is the so called Lost Q document. Since textual criticism had become big in the last century or 2, something new was discovered. Throughout history it was always assumed that Luke and Matthew were derived from Mark, and that Mark was the original and oldest gospel. However, it was discovered that Luke and Matthew share common material that is not found in Mark. How can that be then? It means Luke and Matthew both derived some of the same information from another source, it has never been discovered but scholars have called it the "Q document". So how does this relate to the Gospel of Thomas you ask? Because it has long been believed by experts in textual criticism that the Q document would have been in the form of sayings, and parables, by Jesus. The Gospel of Thomas is in that format, and contains original information. The Original source for the teachings of the NT is not found or known by modern scholars, but it is known that it would have been in the form of a collection of saying by Jesus. This Lost original gospel source is known as the Q manuscript What is historically accurate? The truth is there are no gospels that perfectly agree without error Gospel of Thomas The Gospel of Thomas Collection -- Translations and Resources
