  1. Anyone Need Translations of Daoist Texts?

    Some very old qi gong instruction books but I don't know any names so I'm just throwing this out there
  2. Dumplings

    PORK! but I seem to microwave a lot of chicken ones
  3. Human Flight

    Looks like some sort of human squirrel flying
  4. The Dao De Jhing is a shamanistic treatise

    All the taoist stuff is in the neither category for me A lot of stories books and stuff can be reused to mean something else and work in a different context it's like... a path A path is just a path until someone walks on it and it becomes a different experience for different people

    There are whole bunch of GUUUUUUUUURLZ who grew up with the old ponies and now hate the new ones because they look like kitties or something In return, here are some bronies watching old pony cartoons... in horror Some of the new ponies are based on some of these characters and the reactions are hilarious

    You know, there are a lot of whiney old men who can barely move and wish they were young again and could do all the amazing things young people can do when they are young. Because of all that whining, when they see a young person, they just want that person to live up to their full potential. That's the worst thing you could say to a young person since that was the same thing they were told when they were young themselves. There are so many things a person can do young and old. Some things they always wanted to do, some things they want to do on an impulse and things they never knew they could or wanted to do. Because of the unknown factor, their potential is literally endless. If can you live without guilt in your heart, you can be free to do whatever you want. Maybe you actually don't want to do some of these things, maybe you can become some of these things without you even knowing it, as you follow a path that seems different. Maybe you can be a thousand things, that would be fine. Maybe you master one thing, that also will be fine. Doesn't matter really, you have unlimited potential and that means you are free. Do you know how fun knitting is? Old ladies are not telling you but it's lotsa fun. Have you ever wanted to be batman? I did and actually still do, so why not I just become batman right now. People seem to want to have things they don't have right now and so they feel distant and they accept that distance. Waiting and listening doesn't always mean waiting forever for the right thing to happen. Sometimes the most perfect thing you need is in an old greasy bag instead of a treasure chest. In fact, everyone wants a treasure so no one knows that's in all these bags. Don't have to wait, there is something you can do right now.

    If you go chasing many birds at the same time, you wont catch any. Your desire to do all these things is what is getting in the way of what you could be doing right now instead of doing what you could do eventually in the future. That's why taoists do wu wei and wait for that right bird to land in their hand. Just relax and observe, I bet right now there is somewhere a bird waiting to land on your shoulder but you are scaring it.
  13. From Qigong to Religion

    These articles wouldn't exist if everyone did the horse stance just saying

    I knoe rite? Bud don't you hate how people keep seeing the negative seen side of things and don't see the positive unseen side of things? Do you know the 'empty your cup' story? A know-it-all student comes to learn from a master and as they drink tea, the student keeps talking about what he learned. Meanwhile, the master keeps pouring tea in his cup and the student says that that's enough. To that master replies, then do you need to learn more if you know so much already, empty your cup. Sounds easy to do, but in practice it's one of the most hard things to do. Can you let go of everything you have know and love to be able to also lose all the unnecessary baggage to have enough space to build a new you that you always wanted? Attachment and detachment are an illusion you know?

    Know what, I think the early Quanzhen masters got their teachings from somewhere else and it took them a long time to figure out what begging actually meant

    Have you tried the horse stance? It doesn't have to be perfect, just do it long enough to feel like you can't go on(spoiler, you can go on longer they your legs are telling you) You will feel a lot better when you finally take a sit
