FIRE MAKES WOOD!!!

Oh that, you know about talismans in Taoist religions? These things are given power by infusing them with the intention of the maker, to have good luck for example Chi is energy that power intention so normal people use chi to move their body and do all sorts of things, nei gong is kinda like hacking your body into doing what you want with it Human body is like a big machine that uses chi a lot, but it normally uses chi that is around the body Chi is also an energy that follows course of less resistance, so for normal people it's easier to move a cup with their hand instead of levitating it with their mind or something The body is like a closed circuit so it's hard to sent energy outside and bring it back, it's like seeing sparks fly off of wires So, if you want to make a working talisman you need to make it a part of your body by making your "wires" run through it It's like doing exercises, you do push ups a lot and after some time they become easier to do To make chi travel easier through a talisman, the priest writes words on it to make them a conductor Its like people talking to each other to send a message, you just make sound but the other person knows what they mean So for example you want to make a talisman that bursts into flames, you would need a piece of paper and to write on it "fire" or "flames" or something like that Just doing that won't make the thing work, because words "fire" and "flames" are meaningless What you really need is an intense experience of feeling intense heat, that feeling of heat might be a memory of being stuck in a burning building that makes it very intense That memory creates a trauma and every time a traumatized person will hear "fire" they will remember the feeling they had back then That feeling would be just in the mind of the person and could easily be recreated in meditation But that still doesn't make it real without chi Chi is energy that powers intention so to make that fire real, there needs to be enough energy as at that time of the other fire With that energy the priest becomes the flame and moves it into the talisman The talisman is like another arm, you will your arm to move and it moves because of chi, talisman will burn because of that, too That is the most basic idea In Hermetics there are actual recipes for the inc and paper that make things work Remember how metal doesn't conduct chi, wood does so the intention will leave that fire talisman One of the things that were made by Hermetic scholars were paintings The artists would take so much time drawing the painting with special ink that their feeling get absorbed by it And what keeps these feelings intact are the special made frames, after some time the paintings will get haunted and the only way to destroy they is by destroying the frame I remember there was another machine made mostly of metal, used to focus energy of a few individuals on one thing inside it If it's a picture of a person, then they might do something to that person by using the machine Anyway, have some tangible things This chi with metal phenomena has been touched by modern science and the discoverer of this energy called it Orgone Energy, there's a lot of stuff about it online and easy to find There are also a lot of haunted painting footage online so some of it might be real The similar thing is also found in Voodoo religion If you want to get some reading on Hermetics then I would recommend reading the work of Franz Bardon as a start His books are kinda old by now and are given away for free online ah, spelling lol

Aluminum's properties make it easier to move, it's kinda a common knowledge that if you're projecting chi or doing some major work with it you shouldn't touch metal Wood for example conducts chi easily because when it was still a tree it was using chi to do stuff Metal is a refined material and it never conducted chi and it wont unless a super powerful person forces it to All this chi stuff cannot be summarized in one post You are either a mechanic or a race car driver, you can't just drive a car for few days and decide that you know how it works A lot of stuff about chi out there are things mechanics told people not to do and rules to follow If you feel like it, read the learning thread in my signature http://thetaobums.com/topic/22974-time-to-learn/ Maybe I should continue it hmm...

Hey look, it's this thread again Since a very freaking long time in Europe/Egypt, that area, there has been a field of science dealing with chi called Hermetics They even use chi to build machines that kinda run on chi One person even build a device that can measure chi, I forgot what it's called but I remember that aluminum is an important part

LEFT, now penalty horse stance! By the way, if you don't want these dreams, stop practicing qi gong and meditation Energy would sometimes go to places by itself and working with it makes it go through your channels more frequently

this is so backwards

I hold a pebble in the palm of my hand. In what hand is it? You might guess right but you have better chances being here and looking for yourself

You need to let go/destroy things that are holding you down so you could build new good things that you want That is the destructive side, creating hateful feelings, violence and things that require action is not True destruction is emptiness, it's neither good nor bad and it destroys both

I wish tai chi would become more popular around the forum

Some things must be done right or else this happens Maybe there is a point to arguing now and then, to stop people from buying this game for example

Yes [] MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's a martial arts website so I'm being brutally honest BADABING-BADABOOM

I was going to say nice site, but then I saw the most... something... intro video I ever saw LOL, and when I say LOL, I MEAN LOL!!!

YEAH FUCK OPENING CHAKRAS, THEY SPIN DAMN IT!!! I was yelling that since the moment I arrived here, I even wrote pages of stuff about chakras in my learning thread thing

Root chakra is associated with letting go, look up meditations and asanas for it

Stay like that, when many people see the same thing they all have a different experience When I see that other people's opinions don't matter, I dismiss my own and don't fight anything You should practice letting go, it's not something you meditate on but something you have to do many times It's like an exercise you practice, I just been in enough arguments to see where they're all going

Whenever I hear someone starting a sentence with "in my opinion", I stop listening It instantly makes the whole conversation worthless Some people also add, "that's just my opinion so you don't have to go all crazy about it" There are a lot of people with opinions and even if majority of them agree, that doesn't make them right And what they think doesn't change anything, these opinion things are just floating in their heads and if they do change anything is the worlds that these people live in If people just live in their delusions for a long time then go into the real world, it will hit back, hard "In my opinion and overall experience, the sky is blue" That's going to change in few hours

Instead of a webcomic this time I would like to bring attention to a piece of fan fiction that I liked very much In a comic form It has around 200 pages and it is very good! I didn't expect to like it before I started reading it but it really is great IT IS CALLED: "OF MICE AND MAYHEM" I can't connect to the actual site so here's a mirror http://rrdatabase.dyndns.org/written/chris_fischer/mayhem.php?page=001 If you are familiar with a show called Chin 'n Dale Rescue Rangers then you might like it very much, too Here's the Russian opening for the show because it's better in Russian (not an opinion, fact)

First song of the new site!!! And this is exactly what I was dreaming of of seeing on this site

Woooooooooooah everything is so weird now, maaaaaaaaaaaaaan OMG FINNALY THE SPOILER BBCODE THING now if everyone would put videos into the spoiler code, my pc will finally stop lagging

TAKE COVER!!!!!!!

Duh, you can't really reach enlightenment just by wanting it That's like the only criteria since only the ego "wants"

Yes, I too remember listening to rocks hit against each other when I was young

There's also a lot more productive power from energy trying to find a way to manifest Things become more interesting, there is a new connection with the world, whats outside is as important as the inside, things get more personal, stories are fun to read, laziness is gone and you want to move more, everything is beautiful BACK TO HORSE STANCE!!!!!!!!
