    Stigweard sits patiently next to Rain enjoying the ambience of her sunset personality, thinking quietly to himself that we simply must get back to our five element discussion, all the whilst awaiting our new scholarly friends' next diabolical discourse.

  6. Keeping the magic in your 'wand'

    With respect Dwai, I have learned that Jing does indeed have a biological relationship with sperm. Jing manifests as the "vital fluids of the human organism" (from Chang Ching-yueh, The Book of Classifications, c. 200 BC) and "manifests its primordial prenatal aspect in the sperm and ovum" (Gaurding the Three Treasures, Daniel Reid). "After birth, prenatal essence is stored in the 'kidney-organ system', which in Chinese medical terminology refers to the adrenal glands ('internal kidneys') and the testes or ovaries ('external kidneys')."

    A very dear friend of mine, Russ, has started a new blog: The Western Hindu From the intro: "The aim for this blog is to create a home for honest and open discourse on Hindu Spirituality for those of us who follow the path of Sat, Chit, Annanda and to assist each other to grow and develop in a community spirit of support and nourishment." Feel free to drop over and say "G'day"

  23. Taoist Study Group

    I have been contemplating starting up a study group centred around the teachings Master Ni Hua Ching. I have been studying on my own for quite awhile and would love to experience the benefit of shared input, growth and learning. The proposed study group would operate in this way: ~ Follow the course outline of "The Introduction to Spiritual Self-Development Home Study Program" provided by The College of Tao ~ Part I. The Integral Way of Life, uses the following foundation books: Enrich Your Life with Virtue Harmony - The Art of Life The Gentle Path of Spiritual Progress ~ We would work through these books a chapter at a time giving each chapter a fortnight of discussion and reflection. Note that you would not have to enroll with the College of Tao, just having the source books would be sufficient. The benefits of enrollment is that you would recieve a certificate of completion for each of the three parts and be eligible to become a certified Mentor with the Integral Way Society. The choice would be entirely yours. If you would be interested post your expression of interest or PM me. With sufficient interest I endeavour to start with "Enrich your Life With Virtue" in 3 weeks which will give you enough time to purchase the text. Blessings,
