looks nice. like lychees. tastes similar? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longan ---- LONGANS, ONE OF THE STARS OF CHINESE MEDICINE Longans have become popular both in the West and East for their health properties. The fruit has had a long history of use in the Orient, and can treat a variety of ailments and conditions. As Jacqueline M. Newman reported in the Fall 2000 issue of Flavour and Fortune: "Longan is known in Chinese as long yan gou. This fruit has three botanical names: Euphoria longan, Longan aril, and Arillus longan. All of them refer to dragon eye fruit, another common name for this fruit that grows on trees that reach heights of 35 feet or more. The tree is an evergreen, the fruit abundant, and it is light brown when ripe. Longans grow in bunches, as many as a dozen hanging down from a small central twig. They ripen in summer and they provide moderately juicy translucent flesh. There is one pit, dark brown in color, in each longan fruit. "In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these fruits are considered warm, sweet and astringent. Many parts of them are used medicinally including the fruit itself, which when dried, relieves anxiety. The leaves are said to cool the system, the flowers aid the kidneys, as do the seeds. The roots are used to treat diabetics and to treat gonorrhea. Also the fruit, with the exterior shell left on, are used in a tea known as san po tai made with rock sugar and tea leaves. "The fruit as a TCM, is used for cardiac palpitations and books recommend an ounce of it steamed with a teaspoon of pickled Chinese dates to be consumed once a day. For weakness, and for those with lack of strength during pregnancy, the same amount of fruit is recommended mixed with two ounces of crystallized brown sugar, one ounce of red dates, and a teaspoon of fresh ginger; these to be steamed together and this amount eaten once a day. "The longan has other roles in Chinese medicine, one touted is for those with premature gray hair. They should drink an ounce of longan wine blood tonic every morning and every evening. Longan wine blood tonic will also enrich their blood. Should you want to make some, the medicinal books say to take equal amounts of the fruit, knotweed (Polygonum multiflorum), and leatherleaf (Caulis reticulate), and three times that amount of rice wine. Then soak them together for ten days. There is a non-alcoholic longan tonic that simmers the same amount of fruit with an equal amount of sugar until very thick. It is taken twice daily, as well. "Dried longan fruit that was soaked in hot water rather than sun-dried, is used for loss of appetite, ulcers that do not heal, wounds and bleeding, ringworm or other scalp itches, even for relief of armpit and body odor. For that last item, the recipe calls for half an ounce of the pit ground then mixed with two teaspoons of black pepper to make an poultice. This is put directly on the odoriferous body part, amount of time it needs to stay there not mentioned."

i later realised that there are various meanings possible for the term .... looks like it's even more than 2. and even more interpretations possible for the question itself.
-
i like that it is more scientific/logical than philosophic/mystic. they compliment eachother some times imo.

could it be that ''beings of light'' are actually living breathing persons whose body is operating at a higher rate? just speculating. and also, a lot of people won't be able to see them i guess, or see and hear them, or see and hear and feel them. speculation #2: if speculation #1 is true then 'we' would have to raise our vibes (i guess) and they would have to lower theirs? howwould one lower their vibe? (and raise easily too?)

Anyone ever heard of or used green coffee? (possibly a.k.a. white coffee, possibly a.k.a. raw coffee, a.k.a. unroasted coffee) It appears that white coffee is super healthy and 'normal coffee' is not. (or much less and with more drawbacks than white coffee would have and present.) It seems there is literally a world of difference between the two. White coffee cleanses you and makes you 'healthyer' (fwiw) over time. 'Normal coffee' is apparently not too healthy and may be the opposite. 'White coffee' contains oligoelements, manganese, iron in large quantities, zink, strontium, rubidium, copper and more. Anyone?
-
white coffee is real coffee, but i don't know much about it either yet

Also, green coffee has cafestol and kahweol, roasted coffee does not. Both have a detoxifying effect on the body Also contains Chromogranine A that limits sugar uptake and enhances metabolism at the same time The references i have are all in Dutch, so i don't think that would be useful to post here? But i can do it anyway: http://www.yogini.nl/contents/nl/p185_Kald...tte-koffie.html http://www.greencoffee.nl/index.php/hoe-werkt-het

Also you can apparently put a crystal (sterilized) into sterilized water, zap it with some kind of electricity or something and over time something living gets created. Or so i have heard, at least 2 times now from different sources/people and apparently there are some 'alternative' scientists who have carefully done this actually.

Less advanced stages of levitation are said to include being able to jump higher and return to the ground much, much slower.

i think at least one purpuse of an oath is to try to make sure that it gets into the hands of the people who will use it well, and not into hands of people who will use it ill. that doesn't mean in my opinion that an oath is there to keep it away from everybody. my shiny 2 cents

nice stuff, i would love to hear from users ....

there are many kinds of actual conspiracies (people working together against others) and i think it contributes a great deal to what is wrong to a great degree amongst people. (religious conspiracies, certain groups, slave trafficing, etcetera) and it's not good for the human health and mentality either, with such cause and effect outcomes such as scepticism as a way of life, distrust, paranoia, selfishness because there are so many others who do things wrong, etc as for conspiracy theories .... they are theories, some of them are likely true. i would have to objectively guess. some may be conspiracies against conspiracy theories themselves, (like cover ups) which makes things even more nasty and complicated however, if in the end it comes out, that's all that (most of what) mattered, if it's made totally right again at least (truely compensated, etcetera .... so the less there are and the shorter they are the better for all probably. but some won't want that. that is probably also a reason why knowing about an after life is also not common knowledge it all fits together. (and this is my tiny angled theory of the conspiracy theory

Deeper levels of the mind and control over the body and spirit
froggie posted a topic in General Discussion
http://www.enhancedhealing.com/articles/vi...cle=17&pg=2 "There is a more profound level of trance, called by many names. One name is the Esdaile State (named after physician, James Esdaile, who used hypnosis while performing surgery in poverty stricken populations, where anesthesia was not available). In this trance state, and only under the guidance of a trained hypnotherapist (certified in hypnotic anesthesia), people can undergo surgery (and childbirth) without drugs. They feel no pain. People in this state can turn off sensation in all or any part of the body. Again, few people can achieve this level of trance without extensive conditioning consisting under the guidance of a hypnotherapist trained in depth hypnosis methods...." More on site. Comments, thoughts, etc? -
there are also tuningforks for other planets, for healing specific organs, and so on

Nei Gong: Taoist Process of Internal Change
froggie replied to Thunder_Gooch's topic in General Discussion
that is good and valueable information (in an ideal world good and valuable are interchangable imo, not that if it's expensive that it must be good. and i don't think 'you get what you pay for' applies here either it's good information on the matter in my opinion, so thank you for letting me know about the link and thank robert for his site. by the way, isn't robert also on this forum also? (and maybe chunyi lin should be invited also) thanks froggie -
Is there any information available about energy/energies from stars? And also, do certains stars have another kind of energy than others? And what are the differences for which stars? (i hope this info is available)

That would be tough to do... how do you know when you are 80% full? 80% full, is that a feeling? or is it the stomach 80% full? i'm not sure how to see it, but would like a better understanding of it. (it's probably difficult to explain)
