  1. Banking/Monetary Reform

    are irrational numbers, represented in binary, still irrational?
  2. Grimoire

    well shoot.... okay... work in progress...
  3. Fascism + Solutions

    BEWARE FALSE PROPHETS FOR THEY SPELL IT WRONG! Do not accept, adhere to, condone, or allow "profits" to occupy our world!
  4. Defining U.S. Conservatism Down

    pop the bubbles, pop all the artificial bubbles. pop 'em all and watch 'em fall, giants from: the skies; stolen from our eyes.
  5. Banking/Monetary Reform

    IT WORKS BOTH WAYS. Humanity cannot EITHER be forced to adopt OR abandon a subsistence lifestyle. BALANCE is NECESSARY. utter reliance on technology is just as bad, if not worse, than forcing people to live without ANY technology. Given what is NECESSARY for survival, technology can and most certainly MUST be reduced so that biology can grow strong again. I agree that technology is partially necessary, but not so much so as to allow continued "progress" on the current track civilization rides upon... We the People of this planet Earth might very well HAVE TO be the next cataclysm. not with our technology, not with our wars, but with our very own bodies refusing to contribute ANY further to the conflict, strife, struggle, caused by the overzealous progression of civilization. Civilization is an artificial construct which serves no purpose other than being self-defined and self-important. If civilization does NOT serve humans as a whole, humans will be forced to serve [their] civilization. This enslaving of Humanitycannot be permitted to occur, let alone any further than it already has!
  6. Yoga & Qigong - Compared (by you)

    I practice, what i will temporarily name, Yggdrasil Yoga: Yggdrasil is the uniting body of the physical plane and bears ALL vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices, melons, nuts, flowers, petals, leaves, roots, and tubers, so practicing every body-work-practice would be comparable to Yggdrasil. The Phoenix is the mental/spiritual equivalent of Yggdrasil's physical/emotional practices.
  7. Yoga & Qigong - Compared (by you)

    Yoga, Qi Gong, Taijiquan, Bagua, Zha Zhuang or however you spell it... They are body work, body practice, body improvement. they are all the same seed, yet produce different plants.
  8. Horse stance

    <3 awesome. while i will have to experience and experiment, i think i understand. Though i still cant help but see the balls of the feet as being "better" for posture and alignment... I dont know any other creature on earth that does not walk on the balls of their feet/toes EXCEPT Humans... and Primates with opposable thumbs on their feet... chimps and monkeys who walk on their knuckles also...
  9. Banking/Monetary Reform

    dude... what? People do not need more than camp fires and protein, for energy. Why in god's name does everyone think we need this massive construct, or multiple constructs across the globe, that use up tons of electricity? Honestly, what on EARTH are you even TALKING about when you say: """"Widespread decentralized use of free energy (or simply a relatively more abundant source like thorium) is the only thing that would allow for money and the financial world to be done away with."""" ????????????????
  10. Horse stance

    preaching to the choir doesnt answer my specific question: Are there benefits and/or detriments to the various placements of the feet, in correlation to the benefits of the stance itself? ... and more specifically, what is the proper usage of each bodily arrangement; be it placement of the feet, arc of the back, or peak of the head... In the specifics of Horse Stance itself: what good comes of standing on the balls of the feet as opposed to the heels; what good comes of distributing weight evenly across the feet, as opposed to standing on the balls of the feet?
  11. My path.

    Temporal; transitory, it isnt so much that it is "this way", but that this is the way to resolve "it".
  12. My path.

    I did not unfriend him; I did not say he and I could not be friends. I said I could not continue addressing or acknowledging MANY people in my life, without putting myself through unnecessary stress and depression. my family included. if i keep putting my head in the fire, eventually it will kill me. I dont WANT to shun everyone in the world, any more than i WANT to allow them to walk all over me, determine my place in life, or prevent me from asserting my own survival means and walking my own path in life- a path i cannot walk alone and yet am forced to by my own association with free and sovereign will as our birthright. Too many people who ignore, attack, shun, disbelieve, or hate free will; too many people who do not know that i consider myself free will incarnate and unwilling to vainly sacrifice it for naught. I cannot tolerate a person who would unwillingly submit to a wrongful attacker simply because they are willing to be nonviolent... an example of holding "right and wrong" as being real; contradicting any claim otherwise. Due to "our" (most people in the world as a whole, the very broad and general "us") inability to cooperate interdependently, and communicate mutually, or my perception thereof at least, i cannot associate with most people without becoming enraged. I do not hate anyone here, i do not want to unfriend anyone here, but i do not want to stagnate for the rest of my life, struggling to seize and maintain a community i can feel proud to contribute to... that is a community, not a lonely singular individual, but a group of interdependent people, cooperating to maintain an independent community. I would be "there" rather than "here" if i had a choice. I cannot keep giving of myself to others, for whom i care deeply, if they are unwilling to receive of truth; our mutual birthright of free and sovereign will power. Those of us who are NOT fighting to actualize the mutual birthright of sovereignty are only enforcing the deprivation of free will which is enforced by governments across the board. Those of us who would run away from the personal responsibility of exercising and protecting their own free will are the people who need to be taught how to end the fear that holds them at bay from their rightful inheritance of this Planet Earth. I am here to protect free will and to promote harmony through the mutual respect for all free will. Not to argue that there is any "necessary" evil, for there is not. Not to argue that the world needs to be fixed or how to fix it, but TO fix it, period. There will always be problems in the world, but to allow them to be THIS grievous is not only irresponsible of EVERY individual, but wholly unnecessary and entirely detrimental to the Human species. I'll perhaps do well to leave now. Let the festering crock of shit do its own thing, and pray it does not spill on me while i grow my garden and attempt to seize the harmony that has thus far forever escaped my grasp. In order for me as an individual to achieve a nonviolent and accepting approach to my unfortunate environment, destroyed by human hands, unnaturally replaced with techno-industrial tumors, i must do as well as i can to remove myself from what i perceive as a fatal disease; civilization. The last thing i need say is what i've left for others:
  13. Creativity

    People dont hilight my hidden messages much, do they? Like, you could be reading this, and have the "inside joke" of "invisible" text... but nooo, you dint hilight it! well okay, maybe YOU did, but others havent!
  14. Life. A Chinese fable.

    stosh... dude... just no... if gorillas can learn sign, why cant chimps learn written English?
  15. Horse stance

    So what is the real difference between heel horse stance and "toe" horse stance (cuz ball-of-feet horse stance is too wordy) other than the distribution of weight on the area of the feet? Is there an added benefit, or an alternative "use" for horse stance on the different parts of the feet? In a tangent, on the topic of ankles, is ful lotus beneficial or detrimental to the ankles? Hurts mine... maybe need more horse stance before full lotus
  16. Fascism + Solutions

    it is not human nature to struggle for power. struggle comes from failing to realize true nature. The true nature of the human being is Loving awareness and personal sovereign authority. Realizing one's own true nature absolves all conflict and struggle from self and within. However, that is not to say that when you actualize your true nature that others will as well; external conflict and struggle is a result of others not realizing their own nature. There is no duality; internal freedom and external freedom are a balance, no absolutions. Leave luck to the heavens; we are neither lucky nor unlucky, but beings of free will to engage in our environment as we so choose. Luck has nothing to do with that.
  17. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    "Dad, dad? I'm straight!" "Dad? I'm Mom!"
  18. Horse stance

    i've done it before, not as a holding the horse stance and keeping it there, but.... to pop my ankles But since i've done it, and without perceived damage or pain, i would test the waters and try pushing it as far as i can without damaging myself... how else can i learn? Cant exactly take ever5yone's word for it if i havent met them in person and had the chance to VISUALLY SEE the testament of their life experience (i can "read" people, cant do that online 1/10 as well- but since i noticed i can see "post auras" and recognize people via discussion mannerisms... i wouldnt be surprised if i could tell a body builder from a yogi, without mention of their involvement in either... in person its easier than online at the very least ) I've read books about Yoga, Taijiquan, Qi Gong, Karate, Judo, and the like... cant remember them all I've gently applied many things i've read and learned through examples, some intended others unaware that I noticed, and ultimately, i have found i am the only genuine teacher i can trust, second only to direct experience. Trust in a teacher is earned, not given. much like respect. and online... both trust and respect are 10 times harder to earn or to express. This is because in person, we have a visual cue to their character; everything we think, say, consume, do, and become is "written" into our very being. A soul cannot exist without expression of its acquired experience, and as such cannot be a person without expressing their every naked truth, etched into their bodies, written in their faces, projected from their eyes. Truly, this connection is inhibited on the internet, but not truly absent.
  19. Banking/Monetary Reform

    In what insanity is it better to have more than can be sustained? We have more human beings alive than we have human beings working to support all this human life...!!! We dont NEED 20,000 human beings on earth, let alone 7+ BILLION. where is the NECESSITY outside of techno-industrial civilization?! Using high population to justify civilization is wrong; using civilization to justify large populations is wrong. Do we have evidence of necessity? Neither the means nor the ends justify either of one another; they are cause and affect/effect, but not purpose or meaning. The means do not justify the ends or the means themselves; the ends do not justify the means or the ends themselves. To find justice, only one question need be asked: "does this create a victim, deprive a person of the space and room to exercise their natural sovereign birthright of free will?" If ever the answer is "yes", then the act is unjust, unwarranted, illogical, and lacks necessity. also, means and ends are lines. eternity is a point. there are no means or ends in eternity, are there? so why enter into an insufferable eternity? Why promote or contribute to an insufferable eternity? Why not work toward a harmonious eternity of contentment and understanding? Why presume to assert imperfection that needs progression to complete when we're ALREADY in the perfection of eternal presence? The civilized meme is a mental disease and psychosis.

    random idea: Stop believing everything "they" tell you in the news, media, internet, articles, etc. and just grow a garden and eat your food until you die a natural death. Harmonious, innit? I cant beleive i let myself believe all this tripe as it is, but until it comes knocking on the door of the individual (my door) it shouldnt even be in the mind at all. Until conflict approaches, resolution is irrelevant. To point out something about what WWROA as well as many, many, many, unnecessarily large number of people in the past have said about "best defense is a good offense": This is mental terrorism. To suggest, insist, or impose that action need take place before "something happens" is to install fear in the blank slate mind of the person, and therefore an act of terrorism. even if only on the psychological level, terrorism is terrorism is terrorism is the act of using fear to coerce action before necessity or inaction in the face of a threat. To reiterate: start a community village, support a local small community, concern yourself only with the physically accessible and reachable world that you can directly affect with your hands and feet. I know i need to take my own advice, but like nearly everyone else: I am not immediately able to push forward into the new and forgotten ("unknown") alone... But forget about everything except what is within your immediate reach. The internet makes the illusion of power to affect our world around us, but ultimately it is nothing but a very complex phone call. A phone call never grew food, cured cancer, or arrested a criminal, but while we DO have this beautiful means of communication, we should, rather than try to spread the news and share word of unrelated foreign events (such as "a national gay parade" or "miss universe beauty pageant winner", rather than "China nuked Kuwait".), we should be doing what i admire TTB the most for: sharing information of practices for the benefit of mind, body, and spirit, to revive old and forgotten lifeways, and to remind each other how to successfully apply harmonious living in our diverse conditions in this world. Discussing government corruption is a waste of time and breath. the only real solution is to phase government out of reality by largely ignoring its activities; especially ignoring the activities that do not immediately concern you before you hear the news. This is not to say you cannot prepare yourself for a potentially inevitable governmental attack on its people; in fact i would encourage greatly that you train to defend against such a threat, but not act upon it until the event. In the end, the disease cannot be eliminated, but allowed to run its course and die off naturally. In the end, the Terrestrial infection of techno-industrial Civilization cannot be addressed in verb or speech, but in removing oneself from contribution to the progression of the disease.

    Would horse stance on the balls of the feet be beneficial to the ankles or detrimental?
