"TRUE" power comes from not having to rely on internet memes and youtube to make a display of power. Like that time Xavier consumed the 'evil' part of Magneto's mind and became Onslaught.

Seek out other dreamers and guide them to lucidity... or wake up and smell the .... uh i dunno what the world beyond the dream smells like.

Quite the philanthropist, then? I dream of everyone's nightmare; I await with positive outlooks at the destruction of the majority of mankind. The return to primal needs at the expense of humankind's deccadance.

But what does the corn-grower want the gold for? What is the value of gold, if all it can be used for is conducting electricity or making trade for valuable items such as food and shelter? It is a "necessary evil", a required medium for economic growth, but what is economic: Self sufficency, or debt graves? Gold can make great computers, but it makes terrible trade. Let's re-evaluate what is truly necessary and therefore valuable.

i think it's called counterfit and it's illegal! But ehh, i think the ones are like candy and the fives are full of carbs, the tens are mostly vitamin water. It's the 20's and the larger bills that have protein!

He is as useful to the tribe as the firestarter, as useless to the herd as the bone-picked carcas. Let there be an end to deity worship and a focus on the intent of the deities; Let us focus on the lessons and the learning, not the teachers and the courses.

Food. Well, more like an insult to food and honest hard work, but eehhhh, in america, you cant be free to work hard and own your own work. Cant work the land you cant own, cant own land without paying taxes, cant pay taxes with food... i want to rip someone's thorax out or something, but hey, it's a waste of effort. Shame, cuz im REALLY hungry, and i could ALMOST concieve of deep-frying a fat-cat banker!!! Okay wait, what? seriously, let's just.... move on...

still one with many Moving one with everything stillness in movement

Let all economies collapse and then see the true values of gold versus corn.

What are cash monies?

Where would one find a teacher in the Mojave Desert in California????? I'd like to be active with knowing rather than "active" with research.

This is all we can do. We all have the "right idea" in our own heads, but who is right? The guy who gets a good night's sleep and honets hard day's work, to survive and do it again the next day.

I'm only trying to figure it out and do what i can without present guidance. IF (IF IF IF IF) I could be taught and guided by someone who knows, i wouldnt waste my time here, but i am, without choice in the matter, forced to be my own teacher, thus a bookworm of sorts. I am unwilling to just sit idly by and rot from the inside out, I will do what i can, and learn on my own and by word of... ahem web, i guess. I practice what i know, and experiment with what i am trying to learn. AGAIN, i have no means of being taught by someone with knowledge on the subject, i live in America, land of the brain dead, home of the freeloader. Where are masters in the Mojave Desert? Where are individuals to go, where no guidance can be sought? I have no money, no income, no real place to call my own, i live on other people's schedules and time. My life belongs not to me, nor do i have access to the tools to lay claim to my own life. And so... Here i sit, debating, discussing, arguing, sharing, trying to learn something that can make my life belong to me.

It's not the destination but the journey that matters. Once we've "finally let go" all that struggling, suffering, pain, and experience can go into greater things.

Rose buds all year round But I'll be gone till next week; See you on Wednesday!

Infinity, eternity, everlastingness, they are indistinguishable. Infinity is not numerical, it is..... isness; eternity. The two statements are the same, paraphrased. (1) refers to the computer toggle options 1/0 Or is it infinity (2)?

Qi Gong (Chi Kung) without Gong/Kung?? So.... Qi/Chi! Just Breathe.

What Free Will is: The intrinsic ability within all matter to make decisions within the framework of their body/being. (a single cell's choices are much more vastly limited than an organ's and their choices, as all choices, are limited to the capabilities of the body and it's needs for survival) What Free Will does: It keeps the Shen from becoming stagnant. Without free will, the experience becomes so predictable that there would be no point in partaking, and all matter would convert to pure immaterial energy. (Free will stirs soup.) Fate: An unpredictable choice leading to a slightly more predictable outcome. destiny: The conglomeration of choices leading to a binding outcome. the more fates you have, the more accurate the prediction. ((1+1) (+1) (+2) (+3) (+5) (+8) (+13) (+21) (+34) (+55) (+89) (+144) (+233) (+377) (+610) (+987) (+1597) (/987=) note, each (equation) is an individual fate, not a multiplier) WHY IS ALL OF THIS? Because you cant have one part without all other parts. remove just one piece of the equation and it all goes back to immaterial energy and we have to start from chicken scratch. In nothingness comes awareness, comes consciousness, comes creativity. The creation is inevitable, so why not make it worth while; after all if it werent worth it, we'd revert to void, since that's not much different than something completely predictable. Infinity (1); eternity is a fact.

I have a silly theory. Immortals never die, but they (must) continute to age/change/evolve. The older a Human becomes, the more sasquatch they begin to resemble! Then from sasquatch they might evolve into something more dramatic...? Perhaps the eldest of immortals becomes a dragon

Okay im still working it out so let's see what i've got so far: We exist in and of the Tao, which fills the void yet also distinguishes it. Floating around the void are our energy/matter experiences, we exist between the two extremes. Our material bodies draw in both material and immaterial energies with which we use to grow, thrive, and survive. We take in material energy from food and oxygen, and immaterial energy from everything (with a little focus and concentration) as it exists in and of everything, much like the tao itself. The objective (for lack of a better expression) is to cultivate much chi in irder to provide the jing with vitality and potency, through which we can raise the chi into the shen and then into the void where we repose with the tao and, apparently, achieve longevity or even immortality.

Radio echoes. Electromagnetic pulse. Renewing the Earth.

That might just depend on your definition of immortal

ChiDragon: My own understanding of Chi, Jing, and Shen are similar, to say the least. Shen, being the spirit, is interprable; the interactions of our body and mind in the world around us. Jing is the body, essentially. The physical manifestation of energy; neurological, synaptic, respiratory. Qi/chi is intrinsic energy which is not necessarily material or manifested but can be used to become manifest as physical energy which we express with our actions. So i will rephrase my question: What is the cycle of these three catagories of human-being? How does the cycle of Jing, Chi, & Shen work; What is the process by which we transmute our being?

Let's cut through all the bullshit facade and get straight to the meat and bones of the point of politics: How do WE THE PEOPLE
