  7. At midday the result of the Labour Party leadership election will be announced. I for one hope that the right choice is made and that the new leader is both a Red Star Socialist and an undoubted bundle of fun. There is really only one man for the job isn't there? Please feel free to add your own thoughts on the subject................
  8. Moderation Message Jamyang Khedrup has been suspended from the forum for three days whilst his future participation on the Tao Bums is considered by the Moderators. This is as a result of his continuous posting on a single subject which cannot but derail threads.

  12. Moderation Message. The Welcome Section of the forum is really only a means for new prospective members to intruduce themselves and their interests. It also gives those who are already forum members a chance to greet newcomers. As such it is rare for such threads to go beyond a few posts or to become acrimonious. It may well be considered that this particular thread has reached its end and it were best to allow it to rest in peace.
  13. Astral Body in Fourth Way

    It is always difficult to fit one teaching into the coat worn by another. It never quite fits. Gurdjieff's roots were In Christianity and Islam (Sufi), to attempt to match them with Taoist practices will simply be an intellectual pursuit akin to the attempted completion of a cryptic crossword puzzle.
  14. Moderation Message Insults towards fellow members will not be tolerated on this discussion forum. Should you continue with this style of posting then your membership of the Tao Bums will be reconsidered by the Moderation Team.
  15. Filling up the lower Dan Tien- How and Why

    I do not believe that there is really any need for you to spell out anything for me. The fact that you do not believe in a given phenomena is neither here nor there.
  16. Filling up the lower Dan Tien- How and Why

    The Teacher must know more than the student on the given subject or why should he go to learn from him? The fact that at this stage the student cannot manifest the abilities of the teacher does not mean that he will not be taught to do so.
