i think somethings up. one tropical storm in canada alone wouldn't be a warning (or would it?), but the last few years are definitely a call from the planet to be ready for anything. now i don't have a degree in eschatology, but the mayan "long count" ends on approximately 12.21.12, and history as we know it has been described by the mayan calendar most elegantly. from the emergence of cellular life, to the start of the industrial revolution, to the internet and global connectivity, its all there, neatly encoded. right now its the midpoint of the 5th night of the universal cycle, each cycle being marked by a progression of 7 days and 6 nights, each day and night being a period of yang and yin of varying lenght (depending on the cycle). the universal cycle is marked by universal consciousness (as opposed to nationalist or global consciousness for example) but the 5th night usually marks a period where destruction occurs to make way for the new. if it were vedic calendrical science it would be ruled by shiva, but the maya/aztec ascribed the 5th night to tezcatlipoca, the dark twin brother of quetzacoatl, lord of light. those two are like a lucifer/michael pair to form a christian analogy. annnyway, the 6th day begins sept 5th, and is marked by flowering of the energies of that cycle (universal consciousness). http://www.shiftoftheages.com - website of the message of don alejandro cirilo perez AKA wandering wolf, grand elder of the maya there are some really good videos on that site under "wandering wolf's messages" that i turn to whenever i get worried about the eschaton. or anything "bad". he is one of the most beautiful people on the face of the planet, and his messages are full of hope and inspiration.

sorry i was really tired last night. i meant retention, not celibacy. and i shouldn't have sounded so grumpy.. i think i went to bed right after i typed that

pooh was lost in his desires for honey and piglet was nothing without pooh. codependant and attached if you ask me. now tigger......

its not a contest. without technique, celibacy is insane. it can literally do bad things to your energy body and mind, and ultimately your physical body. be careful. take it slow, and open your channels Before you try to break records, not By breaking them.

its a deep wound in the collective heart. i keep the 260 day calendar every day, i don't even need to look it up anymore i just know what day it is. that it also called tzolkin in modern terminology, and chol q'ij in quiche mayan, but all the tribes kept it to measure sacred time. i think its a given that aboriginal cultures got raped in multiple ways as the industrial era progressed. i would rather talk about the light that still shines from native wisdom than dwell on the darkness of false progress.

i just found that book buried in my ebooks collection.. sadly my to-be-read pile grows exponentially faster then my ability to read. however, if tesla and mister melchizidek give him the official wow, i will have to bump it up and put some other things on the back burner vmarco i said this to you already so this is really @ everyone else: if dao is the undifferentiated light and we and our chakras are the spectrum of light, what would the prism be in that metaphor? anyone...

you can only really help people who want to be helped. if your friend just wants to complain and feel that nobody understands him, he won't be open to help, even if you spell it out for him in gold letters five times. it won't matter. also, i've read that if you want to influence people you should listen 90% of the time and talk 10%. not that influencing people is awesome, but sometimes you can do it for their own betterment. helping people is awesome, but they have to be available to help in the first place.

oh ok, i didn't want to presume since my clip wasn't from a motion picture. cool... ok i double dog dare you all to find a clip that exemplifies... imitating nature

ok so this isnt a major motion picture, but its totally worth watching. the poor video quality is made up for by the fact that this guy is wearing a tshirt

well i wasn't being critical per se. i think lao was exactly right, regarding your case or anyone elses. that is to say, if everyone just grasped it immediately there would be some kind of major problem with reality. i personally like it mysterious and indescribable.

full lotus makes my foot fall fast asleep and my knees hurt. i usually sit in a posture somewhere between burmese and half lotus personally, depending on how limber i feel at any particular sitting. i might sit in either one of those postures. or i sit in half lotus or something close (quarter lotus?) unless my legs start screaming/tingling/whatever, then i switch to burmese for relief.

oh im sure. a veritable spermologist! "we've stalked the wild sperm to its natural habitat, the testicle! can we get a close up of these things, they look FEROCIOUS!" well he should be, what with that degree in spermology and all. now MY sperm only take a day and a half to mature, so i bust about five nuts a day, except on wednesday which i have officially renamed "the sperm sabbath" on which i bust ten or fifteen for good measure. i've been doing it since i was two, and im thirty-three now! that math will CRASH your iphone! i think ive got ol chidragon beat by a couple ejaculations, so i therefore declare myself SUPREME SPERM EXPERT IN CHIEF FOR LIFE. you can call me mister sperm for short. or "his sperminess". or magnificent one. whichever you prefer! oh i don't think such things will ever be easy to understand...

yeah its tragic what has happened to so many cultures. i'll leave it at that. that is really excellent (the drum part, not the colonialization part). i'm glad for you

shark cartilage.

native americans, speaking generally, are f*ing awesome

yeah four is my breathing number. although after a while, when my biorhythms stabilize in the relaxation of meditation, i will pause one or two beats between breaths. just cause i like to. i've read about rhythms like 4-2-4-2 and 4-1-5-2 etc... i personally like it because it helps me build mindfulness, and further deepens the relaxation of my mind also scotty as to your advice to apply the anal lock more gently, it really helps channel energy up the governing channel, and relaxing it as my focus gets to my tongue/palette helps energy down the conception channel. i feel like i finally begin to get the point of it. your advice was very helpful, thank you for taking the time!

i think monasteries are such closed societies that the politics, distractions to practice, and other valid concerns have popped up across many monastic traditions. its just most effective to say that one must be a renunciate to cultivate the monastic path than try to deal with the madness that must ensue from sexual relationships. it would be more confusing to you if you were a priest and you had to keep track of who was with who and who just broke up and he said she said and so on. it makes sense to me, and more importantly, it makes sense to a lot of monks and priests.

i just started reading huai-chin nan's "tao & longevity - mind-body transformation" about meditation and cultivation of tao, specifically longevity. so there. further bulletins as events warrant...

when counting breaths, i like to count my heartbeats instead of numbers that mind generates just throwing that out there. it helps me a lot, listening quietly paying attention to my own rhythms. you all can try it if you haven't already and see if it works better for you. what are some exercises to strengthen shen?

take it easy on him, his sperms are immature! :D

i tried talking to him once before and i knew i shouldn't have done it twice. live and learn. my higher self is now singing "told you so, told you so" at me. yes it would be great to be part of a world without ad hominem arguments. since thats probably too much to ask, i would settle for a single thread too.

i that case i will spare you the resemblance between that last paragraph and the temperence card i am decidedly into tarot. but i am glad you embraced paradox, and glad to hear about your growth, and that i remind you of people you think of fondly.

cultivate self-respect and recognize that people play head-games all day long. it drains their energy, so don't let it drain yours. just know that it comes from their insecurity that they want to pass along to you because misery loves company. develop compassion, first for yourself, so you can have it for others. don't get drawn into these head-games, learn not to play. learn to smile at your oppressors. people take their cues about how to treat you from how you treat yourself. thats why i say cultivate self-respect. and don't expect too much from people, this is a dark age and many people struggle and suffer.
