Taiji Bum

We did backwards like instead of stepping out with the left foot first, you step with the right. I is the same sequence but some things like a left foot forward "play the lute" becomes right foot forward. All the moves you do only one side are now done on the other side. Its not backwards like running a movie backwards.

In the Zohar telling mystical secrets brings down punishment too. I never understood why. In fact, not to sound crazy or anything, but before I started talking about my mystical experiences a few years ago I heard an audible voice say, "Seek the hidden things of God is silence." Immediatly I had the intuition that someone from heaven had warned me to keep my mystical experiences quiet. At first a was cowed but after a bit I remembered this is the 21st Century and we know about psychology and archtypes and it was more likely my own mind talking to me than somebody from heaven. But that leaves the question, "Why does the mind prefer secrecy?"

Welcome to the Tao Bums. Which martial arts and internal arts do you study?

Welcome to the Tao Bums and British Columbia is a beautiful place! All of Canada is actually.

Merry Christmas!

Crazy stuff, do I cash out my retirement and build a super-shelter? Do I ride it out in disdain like I did Y2K? I believe something is going to happen in 2012 but I dont know what. I guess I keep working on the immortality thing. That would really suck if I got immortal but then everyone else died....

*shakes your hand*

Cam, are you a youngest child?

During the MP3 Radio interview Max spoke briefly about human psychic abilities coming from outside our normal genetics or something to that effect. Anybody know if he subscribes to the alien interbreeding thing with humans or was he talking about something else? It was a good listen overall, bTW.

Just when you dont think the talk here cant get any weirder..... (BTW, I love that T-Nation site.)

Welcome to the Tao Bums.

Maybe a real-time brain scan like a more advanced MRI could discover the meditation black belts from the white belts.

Why not just start a Kunlun Forum here? Make it for Kunlun people and give a Kunlun person moderator powers.

Welcome to the Tao Bums.

Its like Agent Smith said, every other creature lives in perfect harmony with the earth but us. I dont see us as a virus but as a species we seem to always strive to be more than we are. Its like we are either incomplete or fallen from a higher state and are trying to regain what we have lost. So Max might believe in Reptilians? If he does, I wonder if he thinks the Greys and Reptilians are working together and we're totally screwed or they are the original super powers in a cold war with us humans as middle man and we're just mostly screwed.

Welcome to the Tao Bums.

Over 100 view and one response? I am not making fun of Max. In my opinion us humans just aint right and being alien hybrids is as good a theory as any.

That downtime caused me to have a little withdrawal.

Like .broken said it confuses people because the word jing is used for both essence and power. In my experience: You get external qi from breathing, food and external qi converts into internal essence "jing". Then internal essence "jing" transforms into internal "qi". Internal "qi" can transform into external power as "jing" or... Internal qi can transform into "shen" or internal power jing= essence qi= internal energy jing= external power shen= internal power

I began in a lying position. Next, I would breathe deeply into my lower abdomen with full attention focussed there for 10 breaths. Then on the inhale I shifted my attention to the bones in my left hand and would feel my life energy concentrate into the bone marrow of my hand. During the exhale the energy seemed to move from my lower abdomen to my hand. At that time I would really focus with the intent to compress this energy into the bones.When I did this I could feel the energy flowing in my body with the breath like a liquid magnetic field or somthing. Sometimes if I just concentrated on the bones in my hands I would get what felt like an electric shock in them. I did the same procedure on my forearm bones and upper arm bones followed by the other arm bones in the same sequence then my left and right legs bones in their divisions feet first. Then pelvis, collar bone and hen I did the spine and skull. If I did this more than ten times and really focused on my belly it would sometime put out electric-pulses like I was being jabbed with a cattle prod and my arms and legs would jump involuntarily on every pulse. Lastly, I breathed the fluid energy evenly as possible into all the limbs at once 10 times and tried to maintain evenness of the flowing. At this point I brought the fluid energy strait up my spine and into my brain as I gazed with closed eyes slightly upraised into the point slightly up and between my eyebrows. The gazing was important and if I lost focus and fell asleep I would often wake up feeling myself flying though the tunnel and seeing light blaze inside my mind. Hows that?

I used compression breathing in both my bones and abdomen. I detail some of it here- http://www.thetaobums.com/My-100-Days-SPOI...cret-t4225.html It worked for me.

I've often thought that when mystics/prophets see an outer battle of two opposing forces they might be just externalizing what going on in their heads. The two sides of the brain often war with each other and we can sometimes project our inner processes onto the outer world.
