And now you know, so go call the news or something This place has a lot of somewhat experienced people here who already know what they got themselves into

Is that what you wanted to hear? It's not that it's hazardous, it can also be deadly to normal people. There's a bunch of ways it can happen, I heard of a monastery where monks who gave up would commit suicide by going into meditation that makes you feel only joy and they would starve to death.

an interesting disscution on the randi.org website.
Protector replied to mewtwo's topic in General Discussion
Actually, that is an interesting discussion For some reason whenever I see a topic you start where you try to ask a question, I instead see it as an attack. Normally you ask a question and give an example of what you're talking about to make it easier to understand what you're talking about from an example you give. The example used after the question is an example that was proven true at some point before, from there the discussion can start. In your thread you used an example that was proven false, the powers being found to be fake. If you had an example where the powers were proven to be true and from divinity, you could continue the discussion from that point and then see where that point leads you. You instead used the powers being fake example, this example cannon be the starting point of a discussion since there is nothing to discuss anymore. There's a needle in a haystack and you want to find the needle. The needles is the truth and the hay is the useless lies. One of the bits of hay is the people who's powers were proven to be false, you take that bit of hay and put it into another pile. You keep putting these pieces of hay into another pile until there's only a needle left or you get lucky and see the needle beforehand. The hay is not important, you need the needle that you could sew the discussion with. If you don't find the needle first, you will just throw hay at the topic of God but that's OK, there are a lot of false things people talk about that is unrelated to truth and so there's a low opinion on God. But you actually want superpowers so if you could find someone who is proven to have powers and the reason behind these powers was God, then you could have your answer. That example could also be the reason to start the discussion, because you find something to be true, you want to see where that truth leads. You could also start one if you saw too many lies and you want to talk about how false something is and since you throw only the hay and the lies, it looks like an attack. So what I would do is look for something that is true to get the discussion back on track, otherwise they will keep talking about Superman. I like how they went off topic instead of seeing this as an attack, they know that there's nowhere to go with what you gave to them and so they do whatever. Imagine that they are animals in an open field where they can talk about whatever they want. When you start a thread you give a direction about what to talk about but instead of leading, in your case you build a wall. It's impossible to go through a wall and so they go around it but with inly one wall, the wall is useless. If you put up enough walls from all sides, you can build something that looks like a tunnel. A tunnel is like a tube that you're in, if you're starting from the middle you can go towards the truth or the ultimate lie and you will have to go back into the tunnel. Man, have I dragged this on or what -
yaaaaaaaaaaay more old people

So this is bothering me a little When someone wants to learn qi gong, one buys a book, a video, or learn in person. Knowledge slowly gets spread around that way and that's very nice and all, but we have Internet now. Knowledgeable people get together and exchange information on-line but they can't say everything. They bought a book and because the information didn't come from them originally, they can't just tell everyone about it. It's kinda like pirating movies but with knowledge. So I thought maybe people who know kunlun for example, could have like a closed off place to talk about it and improve together like that. I dropped the idea since the administrator and maybe some moderators will have the access to it while they didn't pay for it. It's very hard to share information on-line in a way fair to whom the information came from. Without permission a lot of things are left unsaid and that kinda hurts the discussions where you can't make a point without backing it up with more information. So either everything stays the same and discussions barely make sense or ignore all the rules and show the copyrighted content on-line, but that will hurt the site itself. The open information would also make a lot of people who are just visiting the site know the secrets and become rogue. Something that kinda fills the gaps in information is that 30 minute 30 day mentorship. Very slowly people would learn things from each other and be on the same ground when they talk about things on the forum, but that takes a long time and not everyone is willing to learn because they think they already know enough. Another thing that could fill the gaps would be a system that belong to tao bums that could be learned on the site for free. It could come out of the 30 day mentorship eventually or a master could donate his system to the site. Everyone knowing the same system would decrease fighting, new members could jump into discussions faster, and there would be more respect around here.

There would be less problems if people would stop thinking of meditation as something obvious and would finally go look for a teacher

I'm learning Tai Chi from Mooooontagu videos and I need help understanding what I'm doing. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL33F108F91E2C5A06&feature=mh_lolz I don't have a camera so I can't show what I'm doing so I just need somebody to bother with my noobish questions. I could teach my horse stance for all the trouble

Thing is, I myself know some stuff that is never mentioned here and I want to say something but I can't just go mouthing off about it since I don't have the permission. Say, I just got an idea. How about trading knowledge? There's no way to put an exact price tag on a technique but if the word goes around a little, it will be more valuable. If it's possible to learn kunlun level one around here, then I would like to trade it for my horse stance. Things will slowly go around, we will eventually have something solid around here, and everyone wins by learning something.

huh? what? you post on this forum? :ЛoЛ: Kunlun is just an example, when you guys are talking about it I don't understand anything you say and I just ignore the rest

You can't just use your 6 senses and think that you understand the world It's so big and different that one person can't see all of it But I think together with every person in the world connected it becomes clear Everyone is running around and doing their own thing, you can't stop that But there is one thing that you can take control of and change everything YOURSEEEEEEEEEEEELF dun dun dun I'll go sleep or something
