  1. Your favorite documentary.

    Look up Louis Theroux Documentaries on weird stuff that you wouldn't normally think about but are still interesting
  2. Decisions

    Well, part of your thoughts are not yours Some of them are suggestions that came from people you know, the media, and such Some things remind you of a bad experience and so you avoid them because it's a part of your memory How things get stuck in your mind also has to do with how it works, a few people in the same room might have the same experience but when they leave the room, each one of them will have different thoughts about it Thought processes can be controlled and monitored with meditation Try to empty your mind of everything, it's very hard to do because some will immediately get thoughts flowing back in Same thing happens when you sit in a car with nothing to do, you get bored and will start looking for something to do When you have empty mind meditation down, your intentions become stronger and it's easier with decisions since there's nothing hindering what you actually want to do Have an empty mind, put something in there, and you have focus

  7. This is a good Tutorial Relates to Chi Kung

    Actually in that form the breath is being held until the final move Hard to explain without showing and there is no one showing it online
  8. This is a good Tutorial Relates to Chi Kung

    The only actual qi gong form, if you can call it that, that I know has a goal of forcing oxygen into blood and organs faster, it's done mostly physically without much visualization I would like to hear an opinion on doing that

  10. Philosophical question

    Let's chill out and think about something less serious World won't end if this question doesn't get answered But it might be fun to think about it and having a spare key might open some other door Why does music sound good?
  11. Philosophical question

    ALL TOGETHER NOW!!!
  12. Philosophical question

    So bad music is good for you?
  13. What are you listening to?

    I call for a change of pace http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogspW0sf7Dk Look in related videos, you might find something good there
  14. Philosophical question

    heehee No need to logicalize music but there are endless books written on everything else, isn't it more nice to talk about nice things like music instead of say, politics People seem to be more interested in things that hurt them, even the Buddha worked hard on finding an answer to suffering Motivation for great wisdom and knowledge seem to start from survival, survival is also the very first chakra which also symbolizes survival Can't do much when you're dead Survival is the start for action but not the action itself, after survival the life starts Survival is the decision and the action is creation, maybe you have to fight and so the fighting is what you leave behind Fighting is also living but actual life and freedom is found in comfort where you can decide what you want to do instead of being forced into it by the circumstances Have to grow up, find a place to live, and have no more clear path for you No more school, college, and expectations There are no more attachments except for what is long gone and in the past Nothing is left except for experience and that experience is used to create more of it or to turn it into something else In most cases that's how life goes if it doesn't get interrupted At this step where experience is, knowledge chakra resides Knowledge chakra is in the throat, which people use to sing! Stories told and art created! Not just vibrations but the essence and meaning being shown through art Music does not just happen but there is something that made it happen and it itself makes more things happen Same song sounds different to different people and it takes them to different places It is another step in moving forward! Without me explaining it you already felt it somewhere before
  15. Fine, qi gong practitioners are healthier because they do qi gong, mystery solved
  16. Philosophical question

    Oh, it's When I'm Gone by 3 Doors Down FIGHTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN
  17. Philosophical question

    But I feel like fighting when listening to this song! FIGHTIIIIIIN It is said that new is the long forgotten old, so very old songs that people enjoyed long time ago should be as good as listening to the new stuff, but not everyone(majority more like) likes the super old stuff and sometimes it doesn't even sound like music Also brain thing doesn't sound like fun, what would some ancient sage say when asked this question I wonder I don't think he would go into details about human anatomy, and he might not even answer but he might think about it and that's interesting FIGHTIIIIIIIIIIIN
  18. Philosophical question

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO All that is describing what happens when a person listens to music but that doesn't explain why music is so good, including how some songs get very annoying or just start to sound bad after listening to them enough times, while other can be listened to forever like this one to me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPkqs6yc8UA
  19. Philosophical question

    Meaning of life, answer to suffering, where is God, what is love baby don't hurt me, all important and interesting but music is like, eh, who knows
  20. Example of BBC hack job

    Trolling is sort of a new invention that came from these harmless chats online Or more like, it finally has a name and because of calling it by name, there is more of it online Individual cases are more deadly and get more attention, experience needed to avoid becoming a victim of these cases It's like a shotgun, can make a huge hole one person but can't hit everyone while aiming at a crowd That's not how you win against them, though
  21. Bill O'Reilly knows very well what he's doing

    No, it's all a conspiracy to make America stupid AND IT'S WORKING!!!
  22. Example of BBC hack job

    In this case it's almost always the victim's fault since the bully person does not exist The modern law cannot deal with this, Normally there is a victim and a culprit, the culprit get's the punishment and the goal of the punishment is to show that if someone else does the same thing, there will be same consequences to the crime Kinda like hanging people and leaving them dangling around to scare people from doing what they did In these online cases there is only pure action without the instigator There is a trace but it's like trying to grab a cloud There are needed ways to fight the force itself without expecting there to be someone on the other end Kinda like, instead of shooting people in the head for robbing a bank, make it impossible to rob a bank Make it impossible for the conflict to exist, in case if it's a fight, just run away and the fight won't exist Instead of just hunting down trolls, admit that everyone trolls. It's not just a personal thing that someone does, it's something that drives everyone to post annoying things now and then. It might have something to do with the age and for how long a person has been online. After enough time you understand that what you write online will not change the world outside the internet, like arguing about the politics on youtube comments wont change how things are in the white house Opinions are also like that, both sides will show their cards expecting to win but they are only doing it for themselves and the other side might not change after the confrontation These stressful online situations happen when the receiving side decides that the threat is real, the other side doesn't even know the recipient and doesn't actually care
