True enough, we dont need someone to be a politician to convince us of off world activity, we're taoists, we already know about it.

Just one more incentive.

Thanks marbles.. a few clarifications would be really helpful!

manitou - havent watched this, just happened to see it and thought you might be interested - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPn1SW6t6Bk

.... part of the whole deal of existence which is perceived by us in a very dense , slow, linear way.. and we are frozen light.. Hydrogen is right and it seems to me that you are not wrong either.

Yes, I tried gluten free bread once, it was so pointless that I didnt bother again, it tasted ridiculously not worth eating. But then I am not a fan of bread anyhow so it doesnt matter to me. It would drive me crazy if I was French I expect. It'd also be very very tedious to be gluten intolerant in Italy. Quinoa pasta is fine. Coconut flour bread is easy to make. Chocolate brownies made from black beans are wonderful. Cakes made with almond flour and grated veggies are terrific. Soca, a sort of pancake made with gram flour is really good. I use gram flour to make cookies and muffins, it is very tasty flour. Actually it is very simple to put oats into a blender and turn them into flour, too.

Its nice of you to respond with some stuff that is factual, marbles, thankyou. Micheal Winn is a mystical thinker, so not really of interest to you. I would like you to explain to me though, why the temperature in the sky is so low.. given that the sun is in the sky, why is the sky so cold? I have never known anyone who could explain that to me, I need it in laymens terms because I am not science minded.

Yes, I've been around a lot of practitioners and not noticed increased attractiveness as a universal phenomena. I think there must a shen attraction inherent in the situation for it to yield the benefits of heart opening and relaxation.

ok, so gluten free oats are just oats that have not been grown anywhere near wheat and not processed anywhere near wheat, so no cross contamination can occurr. a lot of gluten free products use non wheat flours, which is what makes them free from gluten.

I recall MIchael Winn asking, if the Sun is so hot, why is the sky so cold? I think he said that our bodies heat up in response to the sun, and plants grow in response to the sun, but it isnt actually hot, at all, we just experience it that way. If matter, ie our bodies, are frozen light, then perhaps as we melt out of matter, ( ie die or transmute) we return to light and therefore to the sun. wther we are sun light or starlight.. idk!

Why is that? Could you expand upn your comment?

Do you think that everyone who practices experiences increased attractiveness/magnetism? If not, why not?

I use gluten free oats.. is this not good? WestonPrice says grains are digestible if they are soaked overnight.. that we make a mistake eating them without doing this.

Drew, just for exploratory sake.. do you know for sure that no part of is reaching out looking for female energy.. how do you know it isnt a unconscious need that sent out tentacles, in the muslim restaurant. Sniffing out some food is an instinct, no?

She knows how to make qi transations. So does everyone who is alive. So do you. Sometimes you participate in transactions that drain you and you are getting conscious about it. My guess is that her bf knows how to take her qi as well, and she feels drained by him when he makes it clear she should have less pubic hair/thinner thighs/a higher degree of education/better fellating skillz etc.. and so the beat goes on.

Yes, exactly. SHE wasnt draining your qi. YOU got hooked into her tactic. Think about it.. if you were gay, you wouldnt have drained qi when she played it all girlie. Nor would you be drained if you were with a high % of mysogyny. Your response to being asked to be the traditional strong supporting male, is to feel weakened. If you were Tarzan and a girlie askes you to 'pwease change my tire, pwease", you'd swing through the trees bellowing a funny yodel thing, and feel stronger.

I know I get anxiety and fear triggered by some people's energy field.. well.. probaby to an extent by more or less everyone's energy field, depending on where I am at, at any given time. But highly stressed personal energy of others, triggers contraction in me, often. I do know for sure that some qi healers do take into themselves the sick energy of others and have to do a lot of training to remove it. It happens. There must be different ways of healing.

Thanks. Still working on getting the walking right.

Are you able to say what gives you this sense, manitou? Solar intelligence, perhaps! Is sun pure yang. It must be. Perhaps that means Sun is God.

Partly was under the impression - from taoist studies - that we are on our own in this situation, and that the best we could hope for would be to maintain some kind of integrity of our parts so that we could be even a little aware
