  6. Sinfest vs The World

    Sorry kids, I had to take a phone call, I hope you didn't break anything while I was away So, Buddhism, eh? I don't see it as such a negative thing. When I see some people talk about Buddhism, they say that it's more of an add on to your current spirituality. You can do what ever you want but if you want, there's an upgrade. This samsara thing bothers me a little because instead of escaping, what scares me is that there's a way out of it and I don't want out.
  7. Sinfest vs The World

    I understand, stuff, but I don't understand the way others think and so I ask. It's not like everyone is following my cannon or something. I learned this weird Taoist version of Buddhism, it's almost like self study but in perspective Here's what happens to a person: Level one, realize that there is suffering This is just feeling it and then later learn about what causes it, the attachments, and so we go to the next level Level two, detachment Touch a hot stove and you will move your hand, feel the suffering and you want it to stop, and so here we go Level three, person tries to live without attachments, maybe become a makeshift monk and live in a cave So let's say you live like that for a while, eventually you will give up on that thing that caused suffering Say you touched a stove and your hand hurts, eventually it will stop hurting Level four, this suffering doesn't bother you Pain is one thing, at this point a person might even realize that suffering is not that bad and sometimes good Level five, you touch the freaking stove Here's where the real thing begins, you notice that this is a cycle Be good, get worse, get better, get worse and so on. You understand the patterns behind all the level ones and twos You know there's the wheal Level six, we're smart enough to notice the pattern So we can also notice the pattern withing a pattern. We could walk the same path we did when we discovered suffering on level one but this time we could group all the suffering together and walk with that, but we already know the outcome of that. When we reach level three again and have no attachments at all, we will go to level four. Level seven, stop We know all this goes on and we can either keep going like this or realize all this and stop since we have knowledge. If you guys have been following my learning thread, you would notice all these chakras in there. And so, a preemptive strike using taiji: Just have level four from the start, that's the same as realizing that the attachment to suffering and basically, Liking to suffer by being mindful But you know, this actually comes from experience and you can't just start off as a super awesome enlightened being just because someone told you to, so you half to walk the path until understanding is reached It's one of the basics of Christianity but in modern Christianity people just call each other sinners all day and yell. Human body is basically one big suffering machine, if you do nothing you suffer and if you do anything you suffer, too If you don't move you die, if you move you will have to wrestle food from somebody. It is also called a temple One of the most quoted Jesus lines is also one of the most misinterpreted ones, "I am the truth the light and the way, the way to the kingdom of God is through me." He could have said, "Do this and that and you will be fine." He said that instead because he knew the difference between doing and being.
  8. Hello again!

    hmm yes, good to know, let me write that down in my notebook since you think that's so important for us to know and just to clarify, was it four pounced in a row or what?
  9. It's not like Japan is trying to emulate the US, it already did emulate the US and added to it. The deal is done and there is needed a lot of undoing to make the one percent of pure spirituality a majority. They still have that one percent because of their stubborn attitude. They don't like outsiders but they like the nice things they have and once they have that, they won't give it up. It's better to choose US, it's already changing by its own will.

    But I wonder how do you gather strength of 900 people in one body that fast, eh?
  11. OBJECTION! Japan is the worst choice as it is now because of Tokyo. Tokyo influences all of Japan and is huge. It's like the worst version of New York. Even though some Shinto traditions are a part of normal lives of many people, nothing comes out of that. Japan is the place with the biggest porn industry in the world. Schoolgirl prostitution, the way it is in the open, and how normal it is for Japan. And the crime, only Japanese yakuza doesn't hide from the law. The yakuza and gangs are are normal part of culture. Yakuza has actual offices with the names of their group typed out on them and the police knows it. The yankee culture makes the teenagers fight each ocher and commit crimes to see who's tougher. One of the offshots of the gang culture are the biker gangs. Sometimes such things like yakuza and gangs are glorified in the media like manga comics where perversion is also OK. http://www.mangareader.net/ Pick almost any comic and you'll see.
  12. The real love potion is a drug that the human body creates. There is a way to trick someone into falling in love with them. And that is, making them think of a person for a very long time until the drug is created. It's that simple. She just followed you around for a while to get your attention and then stopped following you when the thought of her got stuck in your head. Some Taoist alchemists can sense when... actually know what, I don't want you guys to randomly get a harem Anyway, a totally legit acupuncturist could make you fall out of love, or you could just use the five elements for that. But if you fail, your EVIL LOVE MIGHT GROW STRONGER MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  14. WU LIU PAI

    Sinfest shines when you stop expecting him to shine So the story on the site claims that the lineage is called 伍柳派 or 伍柳法派 and is very famous throughout the China The story of how it was founded said that there were 4 travelers who were looking for a master but everywhere they went they met only charlatans and people who didn't know what they talked about When they were the most tired they saw a bright light and thinking that it was a sign, they went toward it One by one they started to give up until only Zhan was left Zhan learned from the master as was foretold by a fortuneteller The End http://daode.ru/istoki_dao.php The forum doesn't have much to say, it kinda small and tame. Info on the front page says that it's a learning center that goes to China to learn some Taoist stuff. What they teach: Tai Chi, Xinyi, Bagua zhang, I chuan, Qi gong, and tea ceremony. Oh and all teachers are Russian http://daode.ru/att_instructors.php
  15. Hey, where have you been? I also have intense dreams lately. Mostly about me chasing something, and as I run through the city there are a lot of details to it. Sometimes I would wake up from a dream and still see it and then go back to sleep. Kinda like being half awake half asleep and still thinking about the dream while I know I'm in my bed.

    There is a connection The one reason why they're powerful This connection is not clearly seen when people think of energy practices as something like sports When training in a gym, a person has to do the same exercise a whole bunch of times that will give them more strength With energy things it's the opposite, while physical strength is gained by doing something, the other kind of strength is gained by not doing anything What these people do is gather energy and don't use it. It's like splashing some water out of a bucket, once the water is gone you need to get more. Even though it looks like additional muscle from physical exercise is proof of having more power, it's actually something completely different. The muscle is not the source of power but the pathways. When you want to lift something in a gym, you send your intention into doing it then the energy looks for a way to do it and then you finally lift it. Yi Chi and Jing After doing something many times it becomes easier because there are more pathways for energy to travel. Like an old river, water washes away at the shores and it becomes wider and smoother over time. The way to gather energy is to trap it. Horse stance is one way to do it but it must be very painful, instead of getting easier it gets harder. Monks all over the world have practices where they take vows to not do certain things and if they do things right, they gather power. Mo Pai seems to be a martial art all about gathering energy, practitioner just gathers so much power that normal people don't have anything they can do against them. DO THE HORSE STANCE! GO LOWER!
