Darin, I was going to say to you before now, but didnt take the time to do so, that I think your fiancee is a very fortunate woman to have you as her partner. What you say about your sexuality and your way with her is ... what's a word for what I mean.. ah, I dont know... so .. very lovely!!

No, I think those topics are central to the forum. Could be we are starting to need a 'lame chat' sub section though.

Darin, please dont leave! Like some others have stated here, I think these video's are not relevant to this board and are lame. There is no contest between your presence on the board and some lame videos that can be seen elsewhere on sites that are specifically for lame videos.

Oh Hagar. Your post made me laugh and smile. Really. Laughter of recognition. Let me buy you a virtual drink. This too shall pass.

Thankyou Lin. You are a gem.

I dont assume it. I experience it. I live it, what with being a taoist and all.

What is on my mind at the moment is withdrawing projections and scrapping scripts I run that are 'shoulds'... and then in the midst of working to melt away my beliefs that constrict and cause me to be disapointed in others and myself.. wondering how I will find a sense of mutuality with others that works outside of those old structures. Lin, even seeing your photo here works to make me feel a sense of inner space. phew. great idea for a thread.

It isnt an objective standard that deems such offences. It is humanity. A developed sense of humanity.

This is like a pm that got posted to the board instead of the inboxes. cute!

oh lord, I am not going to post some zen response like 'but who is posting?!' am I.

My mother used to quote an old saying "we all have to eat a peck of dirt before we die" at us when we were children. (A 'peck', by the way, is 8 quarts..) She never did care much for housework... I think it must be a genetic trait that she passed onto me.

Something that unfailingly works for me - Breathe in fresh clean sparkling chi into your body through your pores, breathe out the illness in the same way. Circle the microcosmicorbit a lot. repeat and repeat and repeat. along the way you may find the ilness shrinking inward into definite hotspots.. ie you suddenly get the right side of your throat very sore.. focus on the breathing in fresh chi and breathing out the heat/inflammation. continue till it's gone. Sparkle up your liver with some nice fresh green chi, breath out the liver fatigue and tocicity. Good luck.

Jedi If you feel able to say anything about how your rosicrucianism fits with taoism or qigong, how it enhances taoist practice or whatever it gives, more specifically, I'd be fascinated.

mYTHmAKER..... that sounds pretty spoooky! what were they calling them for? a meeting of the elders for consultation? Did you see them, or what?!

Mmm, fascinating! It sounds as though it may be more likely that one might understand the Zanoni book, having read Case first. I love the old bookshop and Highgate element. Foggy weather and hand knitted mufflers, men in full length wool coats and shiny leather boots, with outlandish sideburns! Perfect fireside reading. Thanks BlindOwl.

That is very useful info from both of you, thankyou. AMORC is the first thing you come up when you google, so it's good to know it's dribble, without wasting time on dribbling. I wonder what the nefariousness is, Oooolong?! I'm intrigued. BlindOwl, the original version in PDF isnt proving easy to find.. I dont suppose you know where it can be got?
