  1. 5 elements in the real world

    I'm thinking with my heart here, but.... how about that glass of muddle now? i'll buy a round for everyone, I think y'all need it.... Taomeow... stosh... don't mind me, just fascinated by the 5 element system and my attempts to categorize it into a 4 tier system of 20 elements... I think it's working out nicely, but it seems i'll have to make a post in my personal practice forum to get any input. as for that muddle, i'll have a tall glass. please. and thank you

  3. 5 elements in the real world

    Stosh, I would like to point out that the objective universe is not the only reality. Science is great for objective truth, but the mind outside the body is nowhere found in objective reality. it is not an object, yet it interacts wit hthe objective universe in many levels. Science cannot touch the subjective, yet the subjective is where science was born.

  5. 5 elements in the real world

    we're working with a creative/destructive application cycle, not a literal creationism idea; applying earth to metal provides that metal, applying metal to earth removes the earth (to mine more metal hur hur hur). So metal to water, we can control the flow of water and harness the power of water, whereas water applied to metal returns the metal to earth through rust. Creative cycles are Earth condenses and forms metal ores, which can be mined and refined to control the power of water, which we use to grow crops and trees, which are used to construct our homes and heat them as well, to where we set the wood on fire and the wood returns to the earth. & Earth gives a place for the seeds to grow into wood and crops, which are harvested using metal tools, and the wood for fire which we use to cool, using metal, through fire that we can boil water or contain it and direct it to our crops. OR Earth extinguished the fire, which destroyd the crops, which absorbed the water, that was rusting the metal, which was scarring the earth. & The water extinguishes the fire which melts the metal that cuts the wood eating earth. We can see a star and a circle, both pointing in each direction, thereby having 2 destructive paths and 2 creative paths uniting into the law of four, from a 5 element perspective.

  12. Industry cleaner for McD smell on fingers?

    It is flavor. Flavor additive to be precice. Most specifically it is either and/or "natural" flavor (added) or artificial flavor. The difference between the two is lesser than the similarities. "Natural" flavor additives are simply reactive chemical derrivitaves from the flavor-source itself, for example banana. Artificial flavor is simply the chemical without derriving it from it's flavor-source. Who knew that we needed to add flavor to fast food? *note sarcasm*
  13. You are given God like powers, but not God like intelligence.

    Ressurrect the dead in all fashion and manner, both completely living and some undead. A living Jimmy Hendrix, versus an undead hitler; for example. A living george washington, and every other dead president would be undead. All neandrathals would be living. im thinking an undead Leonardo DaVinci. Then i would give all the living plenty of land to live out their immortal lives, and all the undead a bunch of ray guns and nukes. THEN i would leave earth and re-create it in my own liking with no human beings, and all evolved intelligences would be redirected to a more proper place. specifically the earth i just fucked with undead controlled nukes. Anyone who wants to live on my earth has to follow the simple rules of: No clothing No digital technology No mechanical technology that surpasses your own bodily capabilities No chemistry No metalurgy No permanent constructions of any sort unless they can be very easily and simply deconstructed within an hour or less. Anyone caught breaking the rules goes back to nuke york.

  16. The Yin Yang Symbol

    The taijitu can be traced back to a sort of binary calculator that is used in creating the 64 hexagrams. In the center is one yin and one yang, which i will represent arbitrarily as a 1 and a 0 in the center is 1|0 Then to split them, we have: 1|1--0|1 ....1|0.... 0|1--0|0 Or, when viewed from a center-out, top left to bottom right (ignoring the center) 1|1, 0|1, 1|0, 0|0 Again each is split. and then, the calculation is from the inside out, following a pattern: 0|0|0 0|0|1 0|1|0 0|1|1 1|0|0 1|0|1 1|1|0 1|1|1 ... 1,0-----0,0 1,1--1,1--0,1--0,1 ..........1|0.......... 1,0--0,1--0,0--0,1 ... 1,1-----0,0 And lo, the trigrams. we're halfway there. A picture was posted around some time between january and march that showed this as a circular depictation of the process, which is easier to read. As for form, i am still learning, function, however, suggests that each representation of the symbol would mean something different, though i am trying to understand why V Marco favors the "one true representation", his info is somewhat daunting.

  22. What would peace look like?

    what would what look like? reality? It isnt peaceful enough for you? Imagine: A world without want, without opinionating "this versus that" and accepting what is, graciously, and happily. Seeing spirit in everything; no opinion of "good" or "bad", just pure isness as it presents itself. The world is what we make of it. internally first, externally last. The whole of all reality ios quite peaceful. if you dont like it the way it is, then stop wanting, and it becomes much nicer.
  23. Why man must give up Food and Sex in order to Evolve

    Don't forget to clean your key. In one evening, a friday night, i cannot forget this night... I sat quietly after doing some invoulentary workouts; stretching lead to some intentional workouts that lead to contemplation which led to spontanious neck stands and rolling around on teh floor with my legs in the air, which helpped correct a back alignment problem, though not fixed, it improved my back. That night, after the spontanious movement, i reflected on it all... deeply considering everything that had happened and what it meant. In a more or less invoulentary follow up, i walked into the bathroom and stared into the mirror. From my heart, an ache i couldnt describe inspired the words i spoke that night: "To the All Encompassing Infinitesimal Omniversal Unity that is the Ultimate Authority over all things that do and/or do not exist, I ask that the gift I have been given of free will be returned to it's source, in exchange that I may recieve personal sovereign freedom; in exchange for my freedom I relinquish the ability to create a victim with any act that I engage. Thank You." I became quite emotional during this request, and afterward sat on the couce for a long while jsut feeling the world around me. Just speaking these words had an affect on me i could feel... i cannot explain or describe the feeling, but it was dominating... Tulku seems interested in God, Free Will, and the things we can accomplish with our free will. Maybe there are others who would like to learn, from God's will, of their own free will.
  24. Any Astrologers here?
