  1. Daoists and Shamans/Mediums

    rejuvenation.
  2. Daoists and Shamans/Mediums

    same to you. in a true esoteric one there are no credentials- only proofs.)
  3. Daoists and Shamans/Mediums

    the distinctions are radical and many. to start with - there are no "current' schools - schools are either traditional or bogus. as to traditional schools vs. shamanism - you need to answer two questions first. what societies they served respectively? what force (s) did they use?
  4. I - Ching

    the coprolalic newagee going throu the motions of washing hands and silk looks even more idiotic than usual if one recalls that the early i-jing was done often on occasion of human sacrifice, lines were inscribied on a bloody cow scapula and read from a grimy burned bone. clean hands, right.
  5. John Changs 1st Westerner student

    yes. seriously. although i can not help but laugh too, so many folks have been had its kinda funny.
  6. John Changs 1st Westerner student

    err...correction: after at least 10 years of claiming study with the chinese masters he still does not learn chinese. He still uses a translator.
  7. Wizard Wang Liping?

    yes. nothing special.
  8. Treasuring the Three Treasures

    simple. no them three - no practice.
  9. Learning Chinese by reading taoist poems

    So true. Thanks.
  10. Taoist N.L.P.

    judging by recent history these arab sob's are the least easily frigntened folks on the face of the earth, so you may wanna reconsider the location of yr little fable.
  11. Learning Chinese by reading taoist poems

    Thanks for the idea, but the my question was not about the phylosphy bu rather the language. I can not make sense out of last two lines grammatically so I hoped you could post a word by word translation. Could you please? ) http://www.sacred-texts.com/bud/zen/mumonkan.htm Mumon's Verse 頌曰 學道之人不識眞 Clinging to the deluded way of consciousness, 只爲從前認識神 Students of the Way do not realize truth. 無量劫來生死本 The seed of birth and death through endless eons: 癡人喚作本來人 The fool calls it the true original self. (this translation does not make any sense to me either.)
  12. Learning Chinese by reading taoist poems

    Hi 'exorcist_1699', I dont understand the last two lines. Would you be able to provide a translation. Much obliged.
  13. Why is there so much evil in the world?

    because apples are desperate for a consensus.
  14. there is no such term. correct practice builds up post-heaven qi. depends. It will extend longevity of a person with innate deficiency.
  15. Zhang San Feng

    and where chen style originates from?
  16. its a translation of genuine precepts, a valuable book.
  17. she was an ignorant poser. this is ridiculous. no he did not. http://www.egreenway.com/taichichuan/sunbio.htm he killed himself with food and alcohol. it was his concsious decision, does not have much to do with tjq.
  18. the conclusion should be obvious - your practice is wrong.
  19. Help, I made an Alchemy mistake?

    Daode is such a fun book, i would LOVE to discuss it, it would be so terrific. Too bad its not on a book club agenda.
  20. Help, I made an Alchemy mistake?

    persisting in error is not going to be productive.
  21. Dream of group practising of big draw

    only if there is nakedness and touching.
  22. Michael Winn - Why is he like the way he is?

    what a negative fraud that winn is. calling other frauds names. bad bad fraud. but there is only one way of finding out about him for sure - you have to go and pay a lot of cash money to him. otherwise you will never know.
  23. Encounters with the Nagual

    of course they did. they made more alive everybody who is a fad junky. People pay to become more alive, they crave it, and that makes them to go from a fad to a fad to another fad. That is why this kunlun guy is a grand lama, an egyptian initiate, bushmen shaman, swedish masseur, kungfu grandmaster etc. You need fads - he has fads. Ridiculous - but the junkies pay.
  24. Encounters with the Nagual

    yeah, uh-huh. "Many consider "Ixtlan," which served as Castaneda's Ph.D. thesis at UCLA, his most beautiful book. It also made him a millionaire." " Seminars cost up to $1,200, and as many as 800 would attend." http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=6429
  25. Encounters with the Nagual

    that is my point exactly. It has been lifted from somewhere, crudely whrought into a marketing vehicle and profited upon. Reality of aztec gods: they all have multisyllabic name, complex mythology, established archeological artifacts. Real. http://www.crystalinks.com/aztecgods.html In CC there is this Eagle. Just Eagle, you know, good enough for the target market, they are not picky or educated. Fake. If you stole a bell, and ring it, the owner will know where to find you, that is about all what one can do with a stolen bell.
