  1. What are you listening to?

    It is BUT THERE'S NO TIME FOR THAT I FOUND THE MOST AMAZING THING Just search on youtube 'Punk Goes Pop' The greatest collection of covers in history MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
  2. Lightness skill is one of the 72 Shaolin skills, flying is a sort of extension of it My friend's friend practices it, and while I never met him, my friend says he can do it I also got a taste of lightness skill from practicing my horse stance, heat made me feel so light that I supported myself only on my toes for half a second Energy needed to actually fly must be insane I also could touch stuff at distance when I was practicing projecting, stopped because I needed to study so I could actually use it All that healing stuff is not so bad
  3. It's not the best, John showed some stuff to his friends then decided to let that be because the world stopped practicing hard enough because people started to think that sort of stuff was impossible 8 silk might give you even better results then mopai, it's even complete and more simple There's even a story about a skill you can get from practicing it right, but there are many variations of 8 sections of the brocade now that it will be a pain looking for the one that gives you the silken body skill Pyrokinesis has never been the goal in energy practices but sometimes it becomes a nice side effect It's a lot easier to do when you have energy to spare for it, and not everyone goes for the crazy amounts of energy Other systems are great but to reach desirable outcomes, they require a lot of energy And know what, getting all that energy is kinda easy but a pain I also can vouch that there are still priests from Shaolin who can still fly
  4. What are you reading right now?

    The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown Started reading it long time agoooo, right after I posted about it in my screaming burning crushing journal of pain but still didn't finish it I keep stopping right before the most interesting parts
  5. What is Tai Ji Chuan(太極拳) ...?

    Sorry, I'm going to borrow some space now Read from the right panel to the left one, it's translated from Japanese Man, that's a lot of space
  6. Is all of this really true about QiGong?

  8. What is Tai Ji Chuan(太極拳) ...?

    Huh, sweet, good to know that even I know stuff you guys don't hehehe Though I heard the thing I'm talking about from a karate guy I thought kiai was basic knowledge
  9. The Enjoyment of Music and Singing

    OOH I like this one She who follows the way of the Tao will draw the world to her steps. She can go without fear of being injured, because she has found peace and tranquility in her heart. That's just like music, which by itself is very wu wei Good music is good and that why people listen to it and therefore it attracts people A Taoist is wu wei and things come to the Taoist Unlike music that produces sound which can become annoying or tiresome, Tao cannot be perceived with sound or anything else The one who cultivates Tao cannot run out of it Which goes back to chapter one Music is music and Taoist becomes one with Tao Bad music won't attract any people and good music will We have power to choose what kind of person we become This is not anti-music or anything
  10. What is Tai Ji Chuan(太極拳) ...?

    Why doesn't anyone want to mention breathing as part of fa jin
  11. What are you listening to?

    Found another nice one Marblehead, look away
  12. supernatural powers and enlightenment

    Enlightened people see the world differently and understand nature on a different level What seems supernatural to you is normal for them because they understand how that stuff really works Kinda like trying to fix your computer on your own for hours and then calling a friend who fixes it in 10 minutes
  13. Is all of this really true about QiGong?

    You body doesn't end at your skin, you know
  14. Hola Taobums

    SO THE TIME HAS FINALLY COME
  15. Webomicssss

    OK back to serious stuff http://ghostcarpress.com/inkdick/ This is a comic of Pranas T. Naujokaitis and I had to go to his about page to copy his name here This comic started when Pranas had to make this comic as an assignment for college and he never stopped... until recently, which sucks Now listen, this comic is very interesting because it was originally an autobigraphic comic started as a college assignment in sequential art(comics course) That means, there are other artists from his crass or college who've done the same thing Some events take place in many comics at the same time on the internet that way There is a comic of Pranas's'ss friend Brett Muller http://thebrainseed.com/odyssey/ And here is a comic of the professor who gave the assignment in the first place http://sweetwaterisanasshole.com/ Oh and here is a comic of Kevin Burkhalter http://kevinsjournalcomic.com/index.html oh and by the way, here's a comic by Shazzbaa http://www.todaynothinghappened.com/ See what I mean Back to Pranas, who is my favorite out of the bunch We basically watch his grow up as he finally finishes his studying and moves to some place safer A lot of eventful things happen as he lives in wherever that bad neighborhood was We also see a lot about his friends and family, he really let's you into his life Fun fact: Know what, I'll go read it again

    Now for something silly http://www.gunshowcomic.com/ This bucket of silliness is by KC Green Unlike the comics that came before it, it doesn't get philosophical at all Does this count? Quality is very low on the first few strips but they are still funny and the art improves later on There is no story but the random little things that keep happening One of these things is the Anime Club which got its own page on the site http://gunshowcomic.com/ac/ Read these at your own risk, the truth can be harsh I don't check back to it because I won't miss anything if I don't read it for few weeks... or months... Fun fact: You're laughing in horror it was that good
  17. Webomicssss

    It is time to continue with http://english.bouletcorp.com/ This is a autobiographical comic by Boulet who likes to call it a blog He lives in Paris and is very French He is a cartoonist and so the quality of comics is great The site is originally French but it has an English translation AND a Korean one Sometimes he shows how his work is, how his days go by, and sometimes he slows down to think about things and sometimes it's just silly things Fun fact: Number 3 there keeps giving me deja vu
  18. What are you listening to?

    When making a post, click on an icon of three boxes and put the video's address into the thing Code thing will look like this [media][/media]
  19. Webomicssss

    One more and then I'll go drink something http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php This one is a HISTORICAL WEBCOMIC Or more like, making fun of history The author Kate Beaton has a history degree and worked in a museum, she lives all over the place I think this thing would be funnier if I knew what they were talking about hmmm... Fun fact: This thread needs more Canada!

    Speaking of long comics http://www.scarygoround.com/ Omigawd, this one is actually not that long but think about how long the whole thing is when I tell you this: It's a sequel Bad Machinery is a comic by John Allison and is a sequel to Scary Go Round WHICH IS A SEQUEL TO BOBBINS, kinda Bad Machinery is about some kids who solve mysteries These kids are related to some characters from Scary Go Round Some characters from Scary Go Round are characters from Bobbins And they all love to talk, so much If you have time or too much of it, read every line of dialogue you can ever find there Fun fact: I kinda know what's going on in the story
  21. Webomicssss

    As promised, it's time for another legend http://www.americanelf.com/ These autobiographic comics tend to end sometimes while other keep going... since 1998 The adventures of Kochalka, the American Elf, are adventures of his He is actually a superstar and he makes music that you might recognize if you listen to this OK, listen to this first On a channel called Nickelodeon there was a show called KABLAM! and it had some music in it I wonder where that came from Anyway, the comic has been going on for a veeeeery long time He made one small strip every whenever he made one small strip The whole thing is so long that you can even watch his kids grow, weird Fun fact: Last fact was true
  22. Webomicssss

    And now it's time for a cult classic http://www.darcomic.com/ This comic is created by the legendary Erica Moen It is not cheating if I use quotes because I make the rules here! This one is really an epic tale of epic adventures, and it's all real, again It starts off very gloomy but everything works out in the end, of the comic It started when she felt the worst and ended when she felt the best in her life It's a very good read Fun fact: There is also a very neat graphic novel online http://www.buckocomic.com/ and I participated in the wiki thing http://buckonet.wikispaces.com/ if only I could find what I wrote there
  23. Webomicssss

    The history of this next comic begins in the ancient past of the internets http://www.johnnywander.com/ Nah, not really Another very nice autobiographic comic about a munch of young people Don't worry, I'll get to old people eventually The epic history of his comic crosses with the lines of destiny of comics Apple Geeks and Mac hall Machall is mentioned because it's usually gets confused with Apple Geeks, both are about apple geeks Ananth is a writer for Apple Geeks and here are his stats The artist for Johnny Wander is Yoko Fun Fact: They both might have a last name It's a nice thing to follow and read now and then, one of my favorites Can't really describe what is going on in there because there is a lot going on in there Fun fact: What? Another?
  24. Webomicssss

    You guys are definitely going to enjoy this next one, or else http://dresdencodak.com/ The comic is barely drawn by Aaron Diaz, who has problems with sleeping, sees things that are not there, and is probably crazy or he want's you to think that http://dresdencodak.com/about/ THERE HE IS! GET HIM! The comic is full of single page, or something, stories that are recently have been forced into making sense with a story, or something The story follows this Kim Ross character who has scientifically based adventures that mostly resemble some drug related visions of what science should really look like I spoke of mood before, the mood of this comic is very calming to me and it's like a happy place Not everything immediately makes sense to me but it's so familiar that I would like to stay there Maybe I just need more sleepless nights to understand Fun fact: Apparently a bunch of people got high before making science and that's why we have things we have today
