  1. Certain Oblivion

    Interesting and thought provoking. Thank you.
  2. Are intimate relationships important?

    If someone is destined to come into your life then they probably will. For the self cultivator choice of partner can be very important. Yes when you are alone you can do whatever you wish without concerning yourself about others but some would argue that the balance of yin and yang is important. Just let whatever happens be OK.
  3. Hello

    Hello and welcome.
  4. Bully Karma

    And has anything changed since Kindergarten? Karma seems to act out in ways that are difficult to comprehend. My own view is that it is a waste of time to attempt using reason to work out the laws of cause and effect. Better to try doing as little harm as possible and leave it at that.
  5. Saying hi!

    Hello and welcome.
  6. Hello

    Hello and welcome. Just post the question. Someone will have something to say about it.
  7. Loading up with nutrients/chemicals

    If you are intent on hormone optimisation then you could do a lot worse than taking a look at Mike Mahlers website. There is a lot of useful information to be found there on the subject. Hormone Optimisation
  8. Loading up with nutrients/chemicals

    Good diet and a healthy lifestyle is one thing. The injecting of chemicals into the body is quite another. The problem is that the growth hormone, injected or otherwise taken into the system, will not be exactly the same as that produced by the body itself. There will always therefor be the danger of side effects. HGH Side Effects There is always a price to pay.
  9. The Tao Te BORED;; Please Help.

    What on earth leads you to believe that you have had an awakening?
  10. The Enlightened Heart

    Delightful. Thank you for posting this.
  11. Hello

    Hello and welcome. Get posting.
  12. This nicely sums up the party system, the elected and the electorate.
  13. Psych-k

    I had not heard of them but looking at the website and doing a google search reveals that they are a thriving international organisation. The website does not give a great deal away as regards the technique or practices involved or indeed the cost. I am sure that someone on the forum will know more.
  14. A pathway

    My ex wife saw an advert in a paper for a beginners tai chi course and thought it looked interesting. She never did the course but I did, thereby meeting my charismatic first teacher of the Taoist Arts. It all started there and my interest simply grew and grew.
  15. Hey there

    Hello and welcome.
  16. All a bit too New Age for my taste I am afraid. A good rule of thumb is that if it sounds like rubbish it probably is.
  17. Introduction from Randy M.

    Hello and welcome.
  18. Tian Yan Nei Gong

    You can see a demonstration in a series of You Tube videos by Dirk Zschocke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hyeJNj2Kd4
  19. Buddhist monks are no better or worse than anyone else as regards sexual temptation. The fact is that men (no matter what religion or race) are weak when faced with sexual opportunity; it would not be an exaggeration to say their brain relocates to between their legs. I do not doubt that many feel extreme shame and remorse over their actions but are yet unable to prevent themselves from repeating them. As regards the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism we may well see action taken now that the matter is the subject of open discussion; for this alone we should thank Twinner and others who help to bring these matters to public consciousness. I have doubts however as regards pointing the finger of blame too much at heads of organisations whom we see as failing to act. We do not stand in their shoes and if we did I wonder if we could act differently or do better. There is also the added problem that in Tibet itself the unsavoury nature of the allegations could well provide the Chinese authorities with another stick with which to beat Tibetan monasticism.
  20. Hello

    Hello and welcome.
  21. I believe that this refers to the case in question:- Assault on Girls Aged 10 I suspect that the cases are one and the same.
  22. Perhaps the distinction is subtle and connected with intent. The Chinese Dragon is a benefactor to mankind. The European Dragon bears malice towards man. This should be apparent in any visual depiction.
