Jesus was supposedly born in April or March i forget. Christmas is really about the church needing to bastardize the winter solstice festival that those sexy pagans were having each year. Another stick in the eye really. I'm happy to say i spent thanksgiving fasting though! I will honor solstice in my own way, and be sure to take a big crap on christmas day cause thats about what i think of it.

sure thing! it is so freakin good, wait til you make it

oh crap i forgot

the greek egyptian elements model is different than the chinese daoist model but its dodecahedron - akasha/aether cube - earth tetrahedron - fire octohedron - air icosahedron - water i don't know much about herbs for the elements. i have some pao d'arco on the stove right now, and i'm really into adaptogens personally. good luck to you.

yeah really! he has some other videos, like an awesome one of the aurora borealis youtube his name

well he drank 2 shots per day, and they had 50 different kinds of longevity herbs steeped in them.

yeah, sorry i phrased it in such a um definitive way, i am under no such delusion myself

RV, Well not to be argumentative but I am not the only one I have heard say that. At any rate, it was indeed my personal experience to imagine it before it happened. Im sure there is more than one way to circulate the MCO tho

"i'm not a doctor but i play one on the internet!" surely sir you have not studied traditional chinese medicine at an accredited institution. You sound like you have just started to read a book on the subject. Chill out, josama is looking for actual advice. you know, the helpful kind.

but clearly you didn't forget your logon info for TTB and THATs what matters

do tell.

that is awesome!! I don't like the feeling of alcohol, the price of alcohol, the environments where alcohol is consumed, etc, so i don't drink at all. I used to drink a beer or two per night but then i just quit, and my energy improved. I believe it can be good for health, but even a beer a day was leading to patterns of thought and energy that i find myself better off without.

that is very fascinating, thank you!

i thought it might arrive today, but it did not. I expect it tomorrow or soon

7 minutes... same as last time. sheesh. i will PM you Rainbow Vein!

Okay, so the person i gave Pillars of Bliss to gave it back to me. Does anyone else want it? Same as last time, don't PM me, just respond here and to the first person who says they want it i will send a PM and exchange information. I will mail it to you USPS. Its now 8:18pm EST, lets see how long this takes...

"thank you thank you thank you!!!" -my girlfriend

i guess it COULD be shen. Thats a hard question to answer because it could be other things too.

You're most welcome.

He achieved 10th dan in kogaru ninjitsu. It is a mix of internal and external. his orbits are open. He doesn't teach. when i say its a mix, the koga ninja believed in incorporating everything they came in contact with, and refining and perfecting it and fitting it into their system. So while it is distinctly japanese in flavor, it varies to encompass indian, chinese, himalayan, and more different kinds of exercises and ways of working with energy. Also survival skills, martial skills, weapon skills, etc.

oh thats long. since the Mair takes a good bit of editing the text for extra spaces and errors and such, i'll get to it later. maybe tomorrow! Marblehead! Don't let me forget!!

just another person that didn't look anything like him. He didn't actually shapeshift, its called false shadow or double shadow. Its ninja magic to throw an illusory appearance out to deceive observers. Theres a world of difference between it and shapeshifting proper. So i used the term shapeshifting in an incorrect way. Its just easier than saying false shadow cause nobody knows what that is except ninja.

I visited my meditation teacher, and was able to get some technique and advice regarding the MDT alchemy. I do not want to post it here because i do not feel qualified to share the information, and because i didn't ask him if i should tell it to other people. We only got to meet for about 40 minutes. Sometimes he says "don't teach this to people" not cause he's a secretive teacher, but because i am not qualified to teach something i just learned and some things are dangerous when improperly taught. With the MDT alchemy, he said be careful bringing energy to the heart, first calm the mind by focusing on tranquility, and dont bring too much energy at once, because the physical heart doesnt like too much energy there. So if people are going with the idea that the alchemy happens somewhat naturally, like thats sort of just what the MDT does, and you are trying some things with this at home, i will pass on that word of caution. He agrees with that idea by the way. So those ideas about just bringing energy to the MDT and letting it get more subtle is the core of what i learned today. I will also say that he says when you get it right, it feels like a fresh bubbling spring, or like a nice calm refreshing feeling in the heart, and to let that spread throughout the body, dont circulate it in channels or keep it in one place, "throw it in all directions like a kid throwing glitter and let it go a little outside the skin". On the one hand, i am sorry to hold back information from you if you are also interested in this alchemy. But if you are knowledgable enough about inner alchemy to refine your qi to shen, you are knowledgable enough to know why i'm not going to say more than i should about it. I can only say the things that i am comfortable saying. He said that shen is the key to doing crazy things like walking on burning coals and sitting underwater for long periods of time. I have mentioned that i have seen him shapeshift, and he said that is shen. He said shen doesnt have a channel system its more everywhere, and should be like a field that can guide and corral the qi. He also said you can visualize shen, like a gossamer light, and that he likes gold, but everyone is different, he felt that out for himself, he wasn't taught that. He says yeah its the same stuff as qi, just a different phase state. He said consciousness is the yi/xin (mind) and shen (spirit) as one. And thats about all, hope it helps you all out.

yeah, you have a lot going on up there. just sit with that technique and try it. Its not something to talk about. Just do it. to your question, a thought can be nonverbal, but thats semantic. It is also why i said "thoughts and thoughtforms". Don't get caught up in semantics, that is the very thing you are trying to deal with. Sit and try the technique. Or another technique. Just sit. The thoughts go away, but you can't think them away. You have to sit.
