    1.) These drawn dudes look like they're just dancing along or something 2.) That updated gif with blue fire over it, distractiiiiiiiing. Don't use gifs like that unless they are completely necessary. 3.) The crane looks fine on the white background but when it has blue behind it, you see imperfections in the image's quality and yup on a whim, and then you showed up it kinda stood out in my head more then other things

  14. Correlation of Energy and Emotion

    John, if I'm so wrong then tell me how did you spend every day in your life without getting tired once. I'm curious There is a thing called the 5 elements, it's a system/philosophy/aid in China and in Korea it's called Oh Haeng and something else in Japan. There are five basic emotions associated with each element. Wood Anger, Fire Joy, Earth Love, Metal Sadness, Water Fear. There are more emotions like worry associated with them but they are based of the five basic ones, some people even put worry in place of love. When energy of one element reaches it's peak, it has to turn into the next one in the creation cycle and it takes a previous element to do it. Fire takes Wood and makes Earth. Look up the 5 elements, that's the practice you're looking for.

  19. Qi Color

    If you close your eyes you will see green, but that's not chakras, these are 5 elements and in all seriousness, chi doesn't have a color

    Moments before it was posted I was thinking about crane style so it's almost like my will for the ad to show up

    *deep breath* First, there's an enter page. These pages are first thing the visitor sees and they keep most basic information about the site and gives the visitor an idea if he wants to view the site or not. It also saves time for when the actual page behind it has a lot of stuff that needs to load and the visitor could leave if it's a wrong site he typed in or something. The site being an old style and all doesn't have any heavy things that need to be loaded and there's nothing scary behind it that the viewer should wary of so it's unnecessary. Also, this picture is just hilarious The site itself is full of old cheesy gifs that take away all the attention that should be focused on reading the text. Page loads and the first thing I see is ooooooooooooh fireeeeeeee The buttons on the left are not noticeable, the text on them is even smaller then the normal text on all the pages. It actually takes effort to read them and it creates strain while the whole site has the calming blue black and white colors. Pictures are bad, my browser counted around 260 objects on a page. Look at this crane First thing a visitor sees when the page loads and it has white all around it, that just screams lazy So let's see, remove the enter page make better buttons remove cheesy gifs look around creative commons for good images have less images on every page and if you can, put some pages together so there would be less buttons
  22. Qi Color

    Many people and teachers have insane misconceptions about qi. Let me tell you mine haha Qi is the energy that powers your intention, it is the reason behind things. A rock can be a rock because it has the energy of being a rock. You move your hand because you have the energy of moving your hand. The energy can be manifested on many different "numbers" and be called accordingly. You have internal nei chi and you have outer wei chi. There is also universal shen chi. You keep your nei chi inside yourself, wei chi outside yourself and shen chi is the ultimate bank of chi of the universe. Another name for chi that moves inside of you is called chakra. Inside you, you have endless spirals of moving chi and the 7 strongest ones are singled out and given names for better understanding. Number one is root chakra that is the beginning, root and all that. Second is reproduction, creation yada-yada chakra, how it works is this. When you naturally think of one thing, you can imagine a second thing, that can be the opposite or just everything else. Imagine the first chakra as being a dot, because you could single out a dot, there must be something it came from like the piece of paper you drew the dot on and such. Number two will create number three and it will go on. Numbers can go on from one to infinity but because of their different nature, they were given different names and things associated with them. Number five is five elements, number eight is bagua, number twelve is the twelve animals, sixty is that wheel thing and ten thousand is success and so on. I'm telling you this because is not forced, it's natural. Numbers naturally go one after another and don't need to be forced. There are meditations that use different hand mudras, sound mantras, color visualizations, postures yada-yada. They all have their own purpose and correspond with a different chi type. Nothing is forced but because chi follows the course of less resistance, it will be easier for it to flow. Like counting numbers. Many techniques came from this understanding. Hard to keep track or all this but you could always simplify this with a change of perspective. That rock that has an energy of being a rock fell off a mountain. It rained down on the mountain, the water turned into ice, ice made the cracks in the mountain bigger and rock just happened. You could pick up a rock, look at it and see a beautiful statue inside. All you need to do is carve it. Wait what am I talking about... Yeah chi is totally blue and sometimes yellow

  24. The Temple of Mu

    I read these articles all day and there aren't that many here by Immortal To be critical, this site is not a Taoist site and has nothing to do with Taoism other then the name. In Dao De Ching forum we talk about grammar and when something learned there, we easily forget in general forum in global revolution thread for example. What I think is that there should be another sub-forum for history and modern events, like what is happening in the news and this. We could use it as a good place for practice Taoist thinking and to discus events more rationally. We studied to create our own history so let's be part of the world history now.

    Super ironic that you posted this at this time for me and I would love to join if I was in Australia but this is the silliest looking website I ever seen in my life and it sucks out all the seriousness
