HAH! As ever, my powers of perception fail me! EEH, still seemingly sound advice in the event, yeah? SHHEEEESE

So, to reiterate: "Where are you?" Bhood: nods & smiles, puts on sunglasses, "YYEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..." I'd hit it.

Subconscious is strong; the desire to recieve justice, gratification for your expenses. Seeking revenge is sometimes a subconscious drive, and it might manifest throughout your whole life until either a) your justice is gained, or you bring yourself to a conscious acceptance of the past and let it go forever. It's not easy, and I've no experience in the area to lend you truly helpful advice, however you might gain some solace through meditating on letting go and accepting what happened for the greater good, what you could possibly help others with. You cant likely or easily bring him to justice, but you can do something for yourself by letting it all go and accepting that your past was hurtful and damaging, but letting go of it. Don't forget, just let go.

What would The Bhood say? That enigmatic nod and smile, no doubt

How to die, while remaining alive
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to Everything's topic in General Discussion
Then, however, we have to ask: To what level can an awakened one, enlightened one, or superaware individual lend guidance via internet, when the vibrations are so vastly more subtle through reading rather than sound? Think for yourself and Be, without thinking of your being. -
We are [all] so disconnected from each other, in spite of the internet that unites us, that we cannot come together and organize any semblance of a solution to our inevitably grim forecast. We all have our own sources of "truth" and yet none of us can agree on any one truth we each present. HOW, then, can we form a solution, without unison of organized effort? This is troubling, that we would rather sit and argue over semantics than step outside and organize a result. What to do, what to do? WHAT DO?

So What does Tao say about attachment/desire
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to taowanderer's topic in Daoist Discussion
Attachment and desire should be balanced with detatchment and acceptance. The Tao says to balance. If desire is too great, learn to accept what you have. If attachments are binding, learn to let [them] go. Find balance in all things, and you hear to the Tao; Listen to the Tao and you will find balance in all things. -
Balance in all things Balance is what the Tao says about everything! Knowing wherein the balance lies is acquired not from blindly following instruction, but for 'feeling' it for yourself and finding out, from experience, where your centers are. Not everyone is balanced in an identical manner, yet we are all balanced the "same way". Part of cultivating Qi/Chi is to balance the intake, storage, output, and flow. Balance in Qi/Chi, Taijiquan/Qi Gong, martial arts, and Yoga are not teeter totters, but cylindrical or disk shaped. we have 4 poles to balance, not only 2. Each of the poles needs to be cultivated and balanced, but also allowed to flow and assert it's own natural place. In sex, you should learn to breathe

Playing back to the stigma of recreational use Forgetting the protien value Your post is funny
-
Again, hinging on the "what is you/am I?" From the spirit, "I" simply "am". From the physical, I am the body that is "here" wherever my body may be at that time. "My" "here" Will always and forever differ from any other "here", while the spirit is inseperable and (everyw)here. To reiterate: 'where are you?' I am.

DNA Evidence Rocks the Boat
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to Immortal4life's topic in The Rabbit Hole
DNA is racist, or so say easily offendeed individuals who would prefer to overlook the topic of discussion in favor of the undesirable information presented in an informative manner, to retire it to "racism". Let's stop worrying about such infantile woes and focus more on the relevant data: That DNA does not support evolution on the basis of all humanity originating from Africa, or as dark skinned people. IF that were true, after all, then it would suggest that blacks are the most inferior evolution of humanity, and this post suggests the exact opposite, that we are ALL EQUAL. WHAT retardation did it take to misunderstand that?!? {Edit:} Case in point: So... maybe literacy is one's best friend. A picture may say a thousand words, but a caption can omit the irrelevant ones!!! {/Edit:} -
"Here" is everywhere that I am. I am everywhere that is "here"; "I" am everywhere that is here. Another response to "I am here" is "what are you?"...

"Mother Nature's way of saying 'Hi.'."; Cannabis. It is the solution. It takes a month to mature, can produce more/time construction material than timber, is less damaging to the environment to utilize it as such, has more protien in it's seeds than anything short of soy, indeed has great fiber value, can be used medicinally as well as nutritionally, and has lost it's good name to propaganda over it's recreational value. There is nothing rediculous about relying on hemp/cannabis for self sufficiency and agriculture. It's very bountiful and doesnt take up much space. Could replace the entire economy. GO GREEN!

Anyone got a clue-in to convince (mass) majorities to con/revert to nature and live off the land, agriculture/foraging, slaughtering/hunting? It's the (only) way(/Tao)... So... quitcherbitchin' and start solution'in!

Taoism & Anarchism
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to Harmonious Emptiness's topic in Daoist Discussion
People as government, anarchy, is actually part in part of the whole point of the united states constitution, for the people, BY THE PEOPLE... Get the hint? But alas, "the people" who become government forsake the best interests of THE PEOPLE, in lieu of their multi-billion-dollar-a-year income and "special interests" such as corporations and conglomerate business. Revolution is necessary, peaceful or bloody is irrelevant, though the former is ideal. In order to accomplish a peaceful revolt.... We'd have to establish a self sufficency of the people first; Farms, survival-in-the-wild education, and community support would be a prerequisite to the beginning of a peaceful revolution. Otherwise, we jsut have to convicne texas to invest in farms, survival-in-the-wild education, community support, and lending us their piss-and-vinegar approach... -
Gave to everyone Taken not from anyone The Sacred Four; Chi

Well, I am becoming desperate, with no income, no job, and no means of acquiring/"buying" an education (the mere thought disgusts me! that i must PAY to learn necessities of life!) And worse still, no masters from which to learn! I firmly beleive a true person would share life-preserving and life-forging wisdom without expectation of payment by any means but the pupil's time and effort! But such cannot be found in america... so far... by me... Perhaps it is far too much to ask of anyone, to teach for free... in this world where one without a dollar to their name has nothing otherwise. But i must persist, I need to be taught formally by someone who truly knows and understands Chi/Qi. I cannot go far alone, or "by the books", as it were... Though i can read till i pass out, without proper instruction, i cannot cultivate effectively. Until a teacher crosses my path, i can only explore this unknown world of reality by myself. I will practice what little i DO know, while attempting to pursue what i do not. This is a long road to walk alone. Please heed my cry for help. Thank you.

Call for help!
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan's topic in Daoist Discussion
5ET, I am not only dedicated to my goal, but irremovably bound to it. I know full well that the benefits of spreading chi cultivation the world over are far greater than the greatest payment of cash any individual or whole class could ever provide from 1 yen to infinite euros. I know full well that there will come a time i will have to pay for lessons from hard earned cash, and i know full well how that sting can affect luxuries and even necessities and bills. Never the less, BECAUSE I know this, I know that OTHERS who need to know this world will have just as hard a time as I, if not harder. It can only inspire me to help them ever more than before. There are two ways to look at it: "It took ME this much to do it, so it has to cost YOU, TOO. Compensate me and I'll teach you." OR "It did take me a lot to get all this, and I know how hard it is. It needn't be. So long as you are committed, you will learn from me." The goal is not only to share teh wealth of Qi, but to exemplify the faults of greed and unnecessary prerequisites. It is not so much that the student is on my time as much as it is that I am on the student's time. Work with the student, not expect the student to work with ME. Agreeably, there would need to be a middle ground, but it's a amtter of effort give and take. The amount of effort from the student to learn is the amount of effort they recieve that I spend teaching them. No student need be turned away due to laziness; what you put into it you get out of it. THAT's on THEM, not me. So why worry so much about finances when I've complete faith in the Tao and it's universe to be in my best interests? -
Not to be clingy, but man... I could go for a good lay right now

Bolivia gives legal rights to the earth
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to suninmyeyes's topic in General Discussion
Go Bolivia, best of luck and blessings! -
That's an understatement, really! But the irony is that people fear the simplicity of REAL life. I emphasise real because we already live real life, sure, but the reality of civilizations/societies is to AVOID and HIDE true reality, pampering ourselves to "creature comforts" that arent necessary, they are not necessities. Necessities are so simple even a caveman can do it! but the "civilized" and "modern" man prefers geico to self reliability and responsibility.

An example of how we are able to re-discover and understand their physical past, like monuments and runes, and bring it back to the forefront of consciousness. It's all cyclical, one day WE will become the ancients and the technology we've developed will be rediscovered in some ways. We forgot how to use the earth's natural powers to accomplish great feats, such as the pyramid construction, and traded it for mechanical processes. Now we are rediscovering "ancient wisdom". But like i said, our present will one day become estoric "ancient power" to be rediscovered. It's all cyclical.
