  1. Should I go to this year's Rainbow Gathering

    Hello Mr.Audio. I have something to say about all this, this is just my opinion so I'm sorry if I offend anyone. To me it seems as if this was going to happen either way. If you went or not this girl already had this sort of mindset which was revealed to you recently. If you went sure it could have not ended this way, but eventually she would have met with that dude somewhere or met some other guy. This was supposed to happen in order for her to learn something and for you to learn something. For now the only thing you can do is use this to your advantage, there are many lessons to be learned and feelings to overcome which can help you grow spiritualy. Two years is already a long time to have been together but just be happy you didn't find out who she really was later on when you became more attached. Take care my brotha and much love (:
  2. Being sick of sickness

    That is pretty gnarly how you were able to say all that. You chose the best place on the net.I don't post much here, I'm always hiding in the background XD but since you were able to trust us than trust me that this is the place to be! Take care for now my tao bum sista and much love (:
  3. Alright so last night I watched the movie Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star. My friend and I didn't know anything about it besides the fact that its made by Happy Madison and written by Adam Sandler. So we thought it was gonna be a decent funny movie....wrong. It is probably the worst movie I have ever seen and it revolves around some pretty disgusting things.If you want you can go watch the trailer which is what I should have done first XD. I just wanted to warn yall before you go out watching it anytime soon. Take care and my brothas and sistas (:
  4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9lPEP2mGWw&feature=topvideos_film ^That link above is a video where Jim Carrey confesses his love for Emma stone. I find it hard to believe because of all his roles in comedy yet this video of him (below) where he eminates "pure love" sort of makes me believe it. What do you fellow bums think?
  5. Full Lotus

    I wanted to know if there are any streches or training involved in sitting full lotus. For me it is very difficult to maintain the position. If I put my right foot on my thigh first then my left my knee dislocates out of place and it is very painful. However if I put my left foot on my thigh first everything is fine but I can't hold the position for too long. I know that sitting in full lotus for even a minute has many benefits but I would like to know how you bums do it (for those who can sit in full lotus).
  6. What are you listening to?

    Today I picked myself up a Dean Martin cd at wal-mart for $7 and man its great (:
  7. One of the first things I ever read about Taoism was that those who speak don't know,yet here we all are trying to defend our views by speaking about what we "think" we know. I have enjoyed reading all your views during this post, even the one who started it all...Tulku XD. I understand where Tulku is coming from and I'm sure you all felt the same way once. To me it looks like he is exicted what the new things he has learned so he has come here to share them with you all. He believes greatly In the things he says just like we all do so he is no different than us. This whole topic is something we can all learn from, the lesson is yours to choose. Much love to all of you, my brothas and sistas (:
  8. Ignorance

    What does the word ignorance/ignorant mean in context of Taoism and Buddhism? Much Love, Arab
  9. Realizing on our own

    Hello everyone (: , I wanted to see what you all think about realizing things internally without external sources. Has it ever happened to you? A sudden realization of something than finding out about the same thing you realized first through an external source(book, TTB forum XD). A couple months ago I had been practicing the inner smile technique but had known nothing about it or what I was doing. I've been reading a Mantak Chia book recently and I stumbled upon teachings on how to use the inner smile which describes everything I had been doing before. The same happened when I realized that you don't need an external source to feel love, love is everywhere it was so amazing to "remember" such a thing. Anyways, If we can come to these sorts of realizations on our own do we really need books and other sources to teach us? Much love, Arab
  10. Taoist Tai Chi Society?

    I never thought this is what would have become of my post. No matter what views we all have on the Taoist Tai Chi Society, we're all on this site for a reason and lets stick to that. Much Love, Arab
  11. Taoist Tai Chi Society?

    Thank you all for your input. I greatly appreciate all your opinions and views. Being fairly new to the way I'm quite excited which is leading me to rushing things(i.e. wanting to learn tai chi).I know I should just let things happen on there own time and not interfere. So I don't think I will be signing up for classes there anytime soon, once again thanks for all your input. Much Love, Arab
  12. Hello everyone. I just registered here hoping to get an answer to an experience I had today. I decided to try a new approach today and meditate outside. It hadn't even been 5 minutes yet and I heard someone coming with a bicycle behind the tree. They stopped and began breathing out very loud than started to make growling dog like noises. I tried to not let it distract me but before I knew it my eyes were open. I sat there for a while listening to this person trying to figuire out what was going on. Being curious I got up and began to walk away trying to catch a glimpse. On the other side of a tree I saw an old man performing some sort of tai chi. I wanted to approach him to see if he could teach me but I thought it was best to let him be. It was a very odd experience and I came here to see if anyone knows about such practices with tai chi and the noises I heard, It resembled a dog growling. I know this is weird but I thought I would give this a shot. Thanks. 0

  14. Emptying of Passageways

    Thank you very much for replying. I understand greatly by what you meant, I felt the same way after a couple minutes of posting this. I tried to delete it but couldn't find the button XD. As for the noises the man was making I think I took his spot and he tried to scare me off . I'm looking forward to reading and posting here it's a great site devoted to a great purpose. Much Love from me to you
