Meditation is not a good way for practising
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to Lao Tzu's topic in Daoist Discussion
meditation is great practice, else it wouldn't be premeditated murder... -
cubes. Isometric-3-D cubes. also cubes within cubes, or perhaps its flowers within flowers... An infinite range of pattern to use in symbols.

Practice, lifestyle, and personal preference
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan's topic in Daoist Discussion
Hmm I think there are some awesome insights coming about from this topic, thank you. I am thinking that the idea posited in the book I read is more along the lines of taming your perceptions of duality; as though to say you CAN be an immortal wise sage and still drink alcohol, coffee, and sodas. In a sense that true mastery is a non-duality... habits and lifestyles make little difference in contrast to exercising the ability involved. In some cases, its a roundhouse or an hour long session of horse stance, on other cases, it is mindful breath awareness meditation or consistently practicing astral projection. I think that lifestyle, habits, addictions, and diet are a lot lower on the list of importance than what we make them out to be. FOR A REASON. That while, yes we CAN be immortal wise practitioners while living a promiscuous life of sex, drugs, and alcohol, doing so SUCCESSFULLY is easier without distractions. IF You are so much more focused on practice that your lifestyle, habits, addictions, and diet make no impact, then maybe that's all it boils down to, a "study aide", however I think it requires a certainly high level of dedication and focus.. -

windows 8? 7 works differently with the forums than 8, subtle things, like I cant use enter to make a paragraph in 8... -
Wish granted: You don't HAVE to play! I wish the universe-void as we see it from earth (blackness of space) was dark green.
-
wish granted, but now you're so bored that you're not getting any pay cuz you're too busy working to stave off the boredom! I wish I had a firm grip on the concept of immortality.
-
Granted. You just happen to find yourself in the cockpit of a faulty aircraft with no training, parachutes, or availability of a water crashing. I wish I could do better than that...!

wow, found something funny... worth a bump.

Christianity is not against Homosexuality or anything like that
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to Protector's topic in The Rabbit Hole
HAW!! That's brilliant. But alas, I am quite acutely attracted to the feminine of our species... If I were a girl, that'd be gay... damn, and sexy! haha -

Religion is the poison of Spirituality
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to Aaron's topic in General Discussion
Religion is not a favorite topic of mine; much as I have to say or could talk about it, I'll just say that its like much anything else, good in moderation bad in excess... -
religion vs philosophy. Religion has prerequisites and clubs and you cant join without initiation. Philosophy is the core meat and potatos.

How many people practice Taoism to gain supernatural powers?
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to idiot_stimpy's topic in Daoist Discussion
if i shot fireballs from my fingertips and lightning would strike at my will... that would be called supernatural. If i were at the level of being able to fire bolts of lightning and freeze matter at will.... I'd simply know a greater level of understanding -
i have this awesome mind power to look into and percieve any point place moment or scene within all of infinity. Sadly, the immense omnitude of infinity makes it hard to find my own life.

WORLD PEACE 666 HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN!
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to Everything's topic in General Discussion
i could be dying right now. bleeding to death because someone broke into my house with a firearm, and i attacked them thinking i could be immortal, killed them with unarmed martial arts, got arrested for manslaughter or something, and attaked the police, got shot in the spine and paralized from the waist down. And still, today would be pretty good all around. -

THAT should be obvious. I wonder why it isnt? -
World View - What is the Reality we live in?
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to thelerner's topic in General Discussion
The All Encompassing Infinitesimal Omniversal Unity is what I believe in. This is the idea that every part of every part of every infinite part of every infinite part, etc. is/are connected and interact in infinite ways; that we are but a single part of an infinite whole, all together of which is/are unlimited in scope, depth, breadth, width, and moment. Our perceptions are but such few of the whole, each perception as unique as the next, last, and even copious copies. Words are insufficient for the idea. -

The invention of evil... The invention of evil; thought and little more is the idea of evil, an invention conceived of to convince the prefrontal cortex... or is it the cerebral? the brain with it's bloated egoic center cannot handle the joke, the invention of the idea of evil, a tool used to coerce the direction of thought... and action. Especially action... -
is it only me or the TB has lost its magic?
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to Pietro's topic in General Discussion
Be the change you want to see. that's all I can say. Something you want to talk about maybe? -
At the core of it all, there is an instinctual/"autonomous" initiative. We can do these things very easily without a thought. It is thinking too much that furthers our distance from this goal.

WORLD WAR 3 HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to Disabled Not Broken's topic in The Rabbit Hole
the only "E.T." we'll see is from the masters of the silver screen. No, truly, "E.T." isn't involved in human affairs except as prescribed by humans themselves in a bid to oust "war of the worlds" on a more.... "reality" scale. what, reality tv isn't real either? aw pooh.
