In a way "WhiteTiger" you raise points that quickly lead to "school-quarrels" and the question of "true-not true", "wrong-and right"... etc. Not every spiritual school requires lifelong celibacy. Many though seem to require periods of celibacy. Celibacy does not mean though one is able to retain. Then we have the question of: is not be able to retain while celibate more draining then maybe once in a while interacting with the opposite polarity? So many questions. Hardly one answer we all will agree to. Harry

Haven't read the book but enjoy asking this question: How can we be sure that what he describes is indeed that what he believes to describe? 100% security still tends to surprise me Harry

www.dragonherbs.com if you are in the States. They have different products for stabilizing the mind... unfortunately I have so far never found one that completely shuts the monkey off... but they DO HELP immensely... Harry

If I got it right full Lotus can happen spontaneously if a "critical mass" in ones practice is reached... before that it might be better to go without for most of us... Harry

Thankx for this discussion guys. Hope to one day find a way to really learn Chinese. And welcome 松永道 Could it be part of its punishment? Harry

I do SuJok... luckily it includes much much more Harry

keep in mind that Lung & Large Intestine channel are in that area... Harry

Some things do not necessarily need to be explained with Chinese terminology and it is necessary not to mix up Western and Chinese diagnosis. On a simple anatomical level messing around with retention the different way might damage seminal vesicles, the prostate etc. etc. etc. If the link I was provoding above was read carefully it got mentioned that long time no ejaculation might lead to mentioned change in color? The worrysome part is when one has damaged once system so far that retrograde ejaculation into the urinary bladder becomes "natural"... not so good. Infections sure enough are to keep in mind as well. Needs to get checked by an urologist! Harry

Seriously guys... I never felt that good with the idea of snipping the tongue. You won't become enlightened by doing it and getting your tongue further back. Good feelings: YEAH! To me it clearly is one of those practices that only a few should do and only at the right time... for all others clicking the amygdalas foward seems to be the much safer alternative Harry

So true To the other part of your post: great decision I feel it indeed to be Harry

You know my thoughts on the topic of retention and still: http://www.malesexualneeds.com/semen-and-sperm.html there is a part about color Harry

Should Kunlun be of help there is no need to be sorry about the hsin tao practice I assume... Dark bags is a difficult issue. They do not necessarily resemble your actual state but sure they might. Acupuncture is not equal acupuncture: there is TCM, Japanese and Special Style Chinese, Vietnamese etc. If you find a good Japanese Acupuncturist: GO FOR IT. Google Miki Shima. Then you get to the Association and maybe can find out about one close to you. Regarding herbs consider those addresses I mentioned above. Hope you soon find the solution Harry

And always the question: How to do sexual cultivation right! Better not to mess with it without proper instructions... too much more damage might be done Harry

I don't know nothing about Kunlun. One thing I believe for sure though: QiGong can even worsen your condition depending on the type of QiGong, your lifestyle and the seriousness of your condition. In your case I would assume a nice way would be to do both: Nevertheless it would be good to know what your kidney problem is... and what actually lead to it. If you have a proper Chinese Diagnosis you can start with some herbal preparations like from www.dragonherbs.com or www.taohealingarts.com (Dr.Chang line) or get in contact with Blue Poppy Press... getting acupuncture once in a while sure is a good idea as well. Yes. Things might be expensive to certain extent, but then count how many expensive things one tends to do which are not contributing to health... just a thought... Harry

Chiming in here Hope its a great one though Harry

A happy Easter day taobums, quite some time back I was asking about kind of diary like options and Trunk and Smile and Sean and others suggested a few nice programs. Since then I kept searching for programs that help to organize my thoughts, my data on the computer etc. etc. etc. There are a few out there and from those I investigated shortly so far I would recommend the following to look at: it all started with reading about the latest onenote of microsoft. It is said to be included with all the new Office packages. But it is available extra also. Couldn't yet investigate it but people speak most highly of it. So I was looking for alternatives for the macie without having to use windows via parallels on it: So far it seems that: "Curio" from zengobi (note: before the edit I had that swapped) fulfills my wishes most. You can link articles, you can include video and audio files (one can even record audio and I think even video from inside while further taking notes) etc. etc. etc. I loved treepad but this program comes even closer to what I like!!! It has options to create mindmaps and place documents all over one page... there is "Circus Ponies" which is often mentioned as alternative to onenote on the mac. It does not yet include what I was looking for, but is meant to include more of it in the soon to be born new version 3.0 the new " evernote " especially for the mac (if I got it right the windows version will look different) looks great when you want to have all your handwritten scanned stuff easily searchable devonthink seems great also. Just a few of those I investigated, and those that I seem to like most. enjoy Harry

I have got to repeat myself. You are pretty young. No need to mess with too many things right now I feel... Harry

Oh lady. What do you ask from a 16 year old? Harry

really young??? like 12??? hmmmm... Harry

If you are located in the States have a look at Ron Teeguardens Dragonherbs.... I was told that Shizandra drops and the MO formula might help in cases of too much fluid loss.... they have many great formulas to restore/help the 3 systems, although by now I believe that in alchemical terms different things could be meant... Harry

Regarding topics like this a taobums-search proves great further feel free to spend some time here: http://www.alchemicaltaoism.com/ Harry

>>I wish scientists would get together and seriously make a penis enlargement pill. They have bodybuilding drugs that will alter your muscle genetics permanently, why can't they do it for cocks as well?<< AS far as I see it there is not a "one-size-fits-all"... many women will tell you size does not matter while others will say it does. Maybe the size of the penis fitting to a proper ladies' sexual intimate sphere is like sex hormones showing animals which is the best partner... more complicated way but nonetheless possible... Harry

Thankx Max. I am looking forward to this Harry

Hi Max if you don't mind. What has changed since 3 years ago. What happened to Clementine, what happened to you over the years. No temptations anymore? And so many more questions to ask... Harry

You know G. I don't want to comment much upon what is true about your posts and what is not. It is too tiring, even though I know some things a tiny little better, while others I have no clue about... One thing really gets on my nerves though: I very much consider PMs to be private and it has become really worrying how little that gets respected. Harry
