Taiji Bum

Duds are clothing.

Welcome to da Bums.

I just started reading it! I should finish it by the end of the week. However it is starting out kinda slow. I'm kinda hoping it is like the Celestine Prophecy where the first 50 pages suck but then I couldn't put it down. I suppose when it starts to talk about alchemy is when I will get into it.

Bump (I just bought the book ) Welcome to da Bums (you know..... last year.)

I couldn't find a Catholic one like that, so I lived at THE SONG OF THE MORNING RANCH in Vanderbilt, Michigan. Its a yoga ashram but pretty liberal in its ideas. They did yoga while I went to mass on Sundays and practiced taijiquan all week. We met for meals, meditation and worked 8 hours a day.

I expected something more after all the build up. It was just some naive kid spouting the communist/marxist dream.

Welcome to the Tao Bums, Daoist Bum.

Wouldn't you rather come to Detroit? What New York got that Detroit hasn't..... besides culture, money and a Chinese community?

So is it? How do you know? I'm not asking about stories about someone you saw or your worshipful teacher.... but YOU! This has really been bugging me and I started judo to really test myself and my skill level. I am not doing too good, btw. But as the ultimate optimist I am hoping I will get a gestalt soon and some of the mystical stuff I've done in the past with my taijiquan will become more consistent instead of a fluke of luck.

I love that site and use it everytime I hear of something new in the New Age world because, nothing real can be threatened. They're right in that those of us in the qi gong community need to use more rigorous testing of qi abilities.

If you do qigong and hatha/kundalini yoga then all your really missing is self-defense and thats what taijiquan is good for.

Big fat meanie hit a horse? If a horse is trying to bite someone it is because they deserve it. Seriously, I grew up on a horse farm and that guy is glue if I ever meet him.

I think that everytime we tap in to the infinite intellegence or Tao when we have that flash of intuition during a fight that such a satori pushes us on in our evolution. Each time it gets deeper and longer and we become closer to Tao in our everyday life.
