AWESOME WORK!!! Ron would be proud. I think engraving it in the wiki would have meant something to him. -Yoda

... fluffy angel bunnies kissing cute doggies and happy happy thoughts and somehow the realities of death, poverty, suffering, disease, etc. get painted over with a false white and left unprocessed. I think that if more people thought about fluffy angel bunnies kissing cute doggies their chi would flow better and they'd be able to experience the transient in the context of the eternal and the whole drill would become much more fun. Just look at any kid's experience of life. Their vibration is always many times higher than their parents. Kids know the power of bunnies and doggies...

Speaking of chakras, here's a cool quote along these lines from Trunk's site: Just getting sexual vitality to "rush up the back" is insufficient, in order to integrate the "heavy-adamant portion of jing". One has to specifically integrate with the dense tissues that are immediate to the spine, which leads into the vertebral bodies themselves. Pulsing of the sacrum is the first step towards integrating jing with the whole spine, specifically the stack of vertebral bodies. Well, the chakra element doesn't come out in the quote, but paying attention to the ltt while slowly exhaling is the jist of it.

The normal stretching advice is to do passive/yoga type stretching, avoid dynamic (moving, like Scott's) and only do pnf(contract and release) under supervision. That approach claims to be the safest. No data to support it, though. It turns out that dynamic stretching boosts strength and athleticism and passive stretching can actually reduce strength by up to 30%. Those are just short term effects, but still something to consider for the athlete. Passive/yoga stretching may be so weakening as it is arguably the most relaxing. Just as a relaxing hot bath saps strength, so does yoga. The new approach seems to be to do dynamic before activity and passive afterwards and do pnf 3x a week. (pnf is the most powerful way to actually lengthen the muscles, then passive, then dynamic). There are lots of different opinions out there. Here are a couple thoughts I found: Static methods produce far fewer instances of muscle soreness, injury and damage to connective tissues than dynamic or ballistic methods. Static methods are simple to carry out and may be conducted virtually anywhere. For maximum gains in flexibility in the shortest possible time PNF technique is the most appropriate. Dynamic - slowed controlled movements through the full range of the motion - will reduce muscle stiffness. Where the technique requires ballistic movement then ballistic stretches should be employed. On the other hand, dynamic and PNF techniques pre-weight training facilitate the potentiation of the nervous system, thereby increasing strength and muscle pump. This increases stability and stiffness once again. Catanzaro: Dynamic stretching before weight training will temporarily increase strength. This form of stretching is used to rev up the nervous system so I can’t completely agree with the original statement that stretching before weight training will make you weaker. As mentioned above, PNF stretching (particularly the CRAC method) will liberate the greatest ROM. Let me remind you that PNF or dynamic stretching is useful for warm-ups since the lingering discharge (facilitation) from the contraction phase of a PNF or dynamic stretch counters the effects of any reduced stiffness. Acute static stretching, on the other hand, can decrease strength of the stretched muscles by as much as 5 to 30%. It seems as if most chikung techniques seem to favor the dynamic stretching model. Any thoughts? -Yoda

I'll pass--I'm not much of a traveller, too busy posting shit, etc.

cool thread. Mitch, keep us posted on the WSM! That's a wild practice, for sure. Maybe this is a tangent, but if I use the back channel I stay lusty and energized, however if I use the front channel for up and down then it's easy to loose the lust to more heart oriented energy. With the exclusive use of the back channel, there's nothing to absorb the energy so it bounces around like a laser beam in the death star's garbage compactor, but the front channel can absorb the energies in more emotionally stable, peaceful manner. The back channel is more powerful, faster, and flashy, but the front may end up being more useful. Just starting to focus on the front channel, so maybe this is just a stage. Also, it occurs to me that the front channel may be more influencial to use in dual cultivation perhaps. I think I read that the back channel is like the express train and the front channel takes the scenic route and makes all the stops.

I've heard it said that if you place your awareness on your perineum and/or the bottom of your feet then you'll be grounded and everything else will come into alignment. Not really tried it.

got this from ayp--try rolling your head around when you send the energy up to the third eye during pranayama, mco, sex, etc. Large circles, small circles, fast/slow, just experiment with it. You'll like it.

My Chia library is modest, but my fav is Morning Meditation Routine.

I've been getting into stretching these days too. Good shit.

Chris, Killer breathing exercise--I'll try it! -Yoda

Some sort of 2x a day meditation plus theanine/tao in a bottle plus a few minutes of easy stretching would be my vote. Your situation gives you enough energy, the challenge is to find enough peacefulness and bliss to allow your energy to flow with more synchronicity instead of tripping all over itself. Then whatever is relaxing... Nobody has mentioned lying down to do the healing sounds and then inner smile, but that's a good one to keep in mind. I think the suggestion about lying down, or sitting in a very cushy chair will help any meditation technique that works for you. Best Wishes! Yoda PS, outstanding suggestions on this thread, btw.

It was anything goes in the 70s! I'm sure Ron's dig in paradise looks a lot like that vid.

I know Ron is shooting for spiritual immortality rather than another incarnation, but I can't help but wonder if he'll find it pretty boring as an immortal. He once said that the reason we take bodies is to have sex, w/o a body having sex is like "...fucking a window with a feather". I sort of see him up in the sky holding a feather with a glazed expression on his face. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I believe in reincarnation to the point that I believe my daughter was my grandmother, and it's fun to note the similarities and differences between the two times through. It's looking like this life will be funner--she's got a great Dad!

EYE POWER: DA EYES BE YANG, DA REST O DA BODY BE YIN. MAN CAN ONLY ARISE ABOVE DARKNESS N DEATH N OBLIVION BECAUSE OF DA YANG POWER O DA EYES. DA EYES BE LIKE A THIN CANDLE FLAME AT FIRST , BUT THEY HAVE DA CAPACITY TO IGNITE DA WHOLE BODY. AT NIGHT, DA VISION POWER RETTREATS INTO DA LIVER, WHERE DA DREAM ACTIVVITY TAKES PLACE. THRU DA POWER O VISION, ONE CAN ACHIEVE LUCID DREAMIN AS WELL. So that pretty much wraps up the highlights of Ron's Philosophy as recorded on taobums. Simple and sweet.

here's more: WELL DA HUEVOS BE CONNECTED TO DA KIDNEYS, SO IN THAT SENSE IF YA FOCUS ON A SINGLE HUEVO AT A TIME YA MAY NATTURALLY FEEL THAT CONNECTION TO DA CORESPONDIN KIDNEY AFTER A WHILE N EVVENTUALLY HAVE A HUEVO-KIDNEY PULSATION. HOW-EVER AS IN ALL THANGS, IT IS BEST TO FOCUS ON DA DETTAIL N DA CONCRETE BEFFORE MOVIN TO DA GENNERAL N TO DA ABSTRACT, SO BASICALY DA IDEA IS TO LET DA HUEVO BREATHE N SUCH UP DA COLD YIN ENNERGY FROM DA EARTH. NOW IN TRUTH WHEN YIN FEELS COLD, THEN IT BE NOT *EARTH* ENNERGY BUT *WATER* ENNERGY, HOW-EVER I SAID EARTH TO MEAN THAT IT IS LOCATED *BELOW* YA SINCE WATER BEIN HEAVY TENDS TO SINK INTO DA EARTH. SO DA PRACTICE INVOLVES SITTIN THERE WITH YER HUEVOS WELL EXPOSED N HANGIN, THEN CONCENTRTATE ON SAY DA LEFT HUEVO N TAKE A MOMENT TO *FEEL* DA COLD LIQUID CHI IN DA ENVIRONMENT N LET DA HUEVO ABSORB IT N BREATHE IT IN N IN SO DOIN, EXPAND N GET BIGGER, HARDER, HEALTIER N FULL O WHITE CUM. EVVENTUALY YA MAY SYNCHRONNIZE THAT WITH A PULSATION O DA CORRESPONDIN KIDNEY WHICH ALSO STORES N PRODDUCES HORMONS. IN FACT MEDICAL SCIENCES SAYS THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST THEIR HUEVOS CAN TO AN EXTENT STILL PRODDUCE SPERM AS LONG AS DA KIDNEYS BE HEALTY. ONCE DA HUEVOS BE WELL FULL, *THEN* DA NEXT STAGE IS TO CIRCULATE DA COLD CHI INTO DA MICCROCOSMIC SINCE DA HUEVOS BE NOT MEANT TO STORE LARGE AMMOUNTS O CHI BUT ONLY TO TURN RAW CHI INTO CHING. SO MAKE SURE YA DONT LEAVE DA CHING INTO DA HUEVOS OR THEYLL EXPLODE N YALLBECOME A CUM FOUNTAIN N YER WIFE WILL BEAT DA LIVIN CRAP OUTTA YA FOR MAKIN SUCH A MESS IN YER BED. SO AT THIS STAGE YA'LL HAVE TO CONVEY BOTH LEFT N RIGHT HUEVOS INTO DA MICCROCOSMIC WHICH IS DA MAIN REFINERY PATHWAY. I ALSO RECOMMEND YA TO LEARN DA *MACRO*COSMIC ORBIT WHICH BASICALLY IS A COMBINNATION O ALL 8 PSYCHIC CHANNELS, YA CAN LEARN DA FULL ERSION FROM *TAO YOGA* BY CHARLES LUK OR FFROM MASTER CHIA'S BOOK ON MICROCOSMIC, HOW-EVER, I THINK M.CHIA'S VERSION IS SIMPLIFIED WHILE C.LUK'S VERSION INVOLVES ALSO DA BELT CHANNEL AS WELL AS DA THRUSTIN CHANNEL. IN ANY CASE DA MACROCOSMIC ORBIT INVOLVES DA ARMS N LEGS AS WELL SO IF YA MEAN TO BE A BAD ASS ASS KICKER YA MAY ENJOY CIRCULATIN YER SPERM POWER INTO YER HANDS N FEET AS WELL. DA LIGHT STAGE COMES AT A LATER TIME AFTER CIRCULATIN DA CHING FOR A LONG TIME N SYNCHRONNIZIN DA MICROCOSMIC WITH DA ROTATION O DA EYES, N BLENDIN DA POWER O VISION VWITH DA VITALITY. KAN LI: I HAVENT PRACTICED IT YET BUT BY PRACTICIN DA CIRCULATION, SOME DEGREE O KAN-LI OCCURS SPONTANEOUSLY. ONCE I GET THERE, I WILL DEFINNITTELLY DO M.CHIA'S KAN LI. M.WINN PUTS TOO MUCH PERSONAL SPECCULATIONS INTO HIS STUFF FOR MY TASTE (IF HE DIDNT, HE 'D NOT NEED TO CREATE A DIFFERENT VERSION O KAN LI IN DA FIRST PLACE). I THINK IT IS OK TO COLLECT DA MATERIAL TO STUDY, BUT DONT BE TOO MUCH IN AHURRY TO PRACTICE ADVANCED STUFF, REMMEMBER THAT TRADITIONALLY, STUDENTS HAD TO PRACTICE STUFF LIKE DA MICROCOSMIC FOR MANY YEARS. TO REALY OPEN DA MICROCOSMIC TAKES A *LOT* O PRACTICE FOR MODERN DEGENERATE PEOPLE. DA ONLY URGENT POINT IS TO CIRCULATE DA CHING ONCE YA START DOIN RETTENTION BECAUSE IF YA DONT, DA CHING WILL BLOW UP YER HUEVOS N YALL GET YER WIFE MAD. BYE NOW RJ

Lozen, My life would be much more exciting if I were RJ!! I was just cutting and pasting, sorry for the fake out. -Yoda

commentary re: the Golden Flower: OK, HERE I SEE THREE VERY IMPORTANT POINTS, VIZ, ONE, THAT ONE USES CHI KUNG OR *MAGIC O LIFE* FOR A VERY DEFFINITE PURPOSE, I.E. TO ACHIEVE THAT WHICH HAS NOTTHIN ABOVE, IE TO ACHIEVE NON ACTION THRU ACTION. DA REASON WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME IS, I AM A LAZY MOFO. IF YA TELL ME THAT I HAVE TO WORK FOR EVER, IF YA TELL ME THAT PRACTICE IS AN EVER LASTIN ONGOIN *PROCESS*, I TELL YA, SCREW YA POLESMOKER, I GO BACK TO DA BAR! BUT, IF YA TELL ME, LOOK THERE IS A *DEFFINITE* GOAL TO ACHIEVE, ALL PRACTICE THAT AIMS AT THAT IS GONNA FIND PEACE, END, REACH REST EVVENTUALLY, THEN I SAY, THATS SUPERCOOL, BECAUSE I AM LAZY N I DO *NOT* INTEND TO LABOR FOR EVER, FUCK THAT I *DONT* BELIEVE THAT WORK IS GOOD!!! BUT NON ACTION IS GOOD, SO IF I HAVE TO DO WORK, I'LL ONLY DO WORK UNDER ONE CONDITION, THAT AFTER DOIN WORK I'LL REACH *P*E*A*C*E*!!!!!! SO YA SEE, THIS IS TO STRAIGHEN OUT DA ISSUE WITH DA BUDDHISTS: DA REAL TAO PRACTICE WILL ACHIEVE DA SAME GOAL AS DA BUDDHISTS' IF TAKEN TO DA FULL EXTENT: NIRVANA. BUT, THEY DO IT BY SUFFERIN, WE DO IT BY CIRCULATIN DA LIGHT. NOW DA SECCOND IMPORTANT NUGGET IS, DA THANG INVOLVED AINT NO"ENNERGY", AINT NO "VIBBRATTION", AINT NO "WILL*. IT IS *LIGHT*. BUT, YA CAN SAY, LIGHT *IS* ENNERGY, VIBBRATTION, WILL, BUT, I SAY, VIBBRATION DONT MAKE YA SEE IN DA DARK, BUT LIGHT *DOES*. SO MY POINT IS, ONE MUST SOMEHOW FOCUS ON DA *VISION* O DA INTERIOR WHEN CIRCULATIN DA LIGHT. DA THIRD POINT IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYIN ALL ALLONG IN SPITE O DA EJACULATROS' PARTY: VIZ, DA WORK O CIRCULATION O LIGHT DEPPENDS *ENTIRELY* ON DA BACKWARD FLOWIN MOVEMENT. NOW WHAT IS DA BACKWARD FLOWIN MOVEMENT? IT'S A JARGON NAME FOR SEMEN RETTENTION!!!!!!! BRING YER JUICE UP DA SPINE BACK!!!!! THAT'S DA FOUNDATION O DA CIRCULATION O DA LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! BYE NOW RJ

DA POINT BE NOT JUST TO REMMEMBER DA DREAM, DA POINT BE TO *CONTROL YER ACTIONS* IN DA DREAM. LUCID DREAMMIN BE JUST DA PRE-CUM-DITION, BUT DA BRAKE-TRHU OCUR WHEN YA CAN MAKE DICCISIONS N IMPLEMMENT EM IN YER DREAMS, EVVENTUALY YA CAN SIT N PRACTICE DA CIRCULLATION O DA LIGHT WHILE DREAMIN N THAT BE DREAM YOGA. BUT TO ACCHIEVE THAT YA GOTTA GO LIKE YER VERRY HEAD BE IN FLAMES. THAT MEAN, YA GOTTA MAKE A METTER O LIFE N DEATH OUTTA IT. BYE NOW RJ

Here's a post from the RJ's final flame out thread: POOR ME BE GONNA RETTIRE IN A WINE BARREL LIKE DIOGENES DA PHILLOSIPHER EXCEPT MINE BARREL WILL STIL BE FULL WHEN I MOVE IN. I JUST WANTED TO ADD 5 THANGS, VIZ., 1) DO DA BIG DRAW. YA NEED TO PHYSICALLY DE-CUM-GEST DA HUEVOS N PROSTITE N DA BIG DRAW DO THAT BY ACTUALY SQUEEZIN OUT DA FLUIDS BESSIDES MOVIN DA CHING. 2) ARROUND 3 MONTHS TO 100 DAYS FROM START O RETTENTION, YALL HIT A WALL, BE PREPPARED FOR THAT. 3) EVVENTUALY, IF A KEEP SHAGIN N RETTAININ, YALL HAVE A WET DREAM N LOSE IT UNLESS YA LEARN DREAM YOGA. WHAT HAPEN BE, SUCCUBUS ENTITTIES LURE YER CHING N SUK IT UP UNLESS YA BE LUCID IN YER DREAMS. 4) KEEP OPENIN DA CHANNELS, NOT JUST DA MC BUT ALSO DA SUSHUMNA , DA MACROCOSMIC, DA BELT CHANEL N YA CAN JUST GET AN ACCUPUNTURE BOOK N OPEN AS MANY AS YA LIKE. THEN REMMEMBER TO STORE DA CHING IN YER BONE MAROW AS WELL. UNLESS YA DO ALL THIS EVVENTUALY YA OVERFLOW OR CUM-GEST YER HUEVOS N PROSTITE. 5) KEEP IN MIND THATIF YA KEEP AT IT, ONE WOMMAN WONT BE ENUFF NO MORE FOR SEXUAL SATTISFACTION, SO YA EITHER END UP SEXUALLY UNSATTISFIED OR YALL HAVE TO BANG MORE THAN ONE PEACH, OR YALL HAVE TO GIVE UP SEXUAL CHI KUNG. DA TRHANG BE, YA CAN VIRTUALY SHAG FOR DAYS AT A TIME, BUT A SINGLE WOMMAN WILL PAS OUT BEFORE THAT OR JUST GET DRAINNED N BORIN. THAT BE DA SECRET FOR DA REASON O DA ANCIENT INSTITTUTION O DA HAREM, THOSE KINGS O OD NEEDDED A BUNCHA PEACHES TO GET SUM KINDA SATTISFACTION N THEY COULD FUCK FOR DAYS AT A TIME. OF COURSE BECCAUSE THEY WERE PAST MASTER O RETTENTION. BYE NOW QUOTE(Yoda @ Aug 12 2005, 07:08 AM) Here's Ron's instructions: 1. For a kinder, gentler America, alternate between using your weiner and your tongue--stay away from max stimulation. 2. use the three finger/million dollar technique as an emergency backup. You find the indentation between the balls and the poopy place, but closer to the poopy place. Just experiment with it. 3. practice circulating the energy or you'll blow up "in a geyser of cum." Ron's refering to microcosmic orbit. Yoda's commentary: Ron and many others say that the million dollar point shouldn't be used as a regular practice, just as a backup. Others say that it is fine to use as often as you like with no long term problems. Once you figure out the exact location and the exact kind of pressure I feel that it is safe, but some have had bad experiences with it.

Here's another aspect of the tao of Ron: one seriously focused practice--retention and circulation. That's it. In the waking and dream state. A focused intention and a simple practice go hand in hand. To catch the vibe of RJ, these three works are helpful background: Chia's Taoist Secrets of Love, The Golden Flower, and Luk's Taoist Yoga. Chia's book goes over the basics of retention, Golden Flower discusses the principles of building the immortal fetus that Ron was way into, and Taoist Yoga discusses the microcosmic orbit in a spirit close to RJ's presentation. That is ground zero. He also had many misc. teachings--bennonite (sp?) clay for brushing the teeth, penis ballooning and enlarging principles, practices like running while visualizing your ancestors running behind you, running while mco/Mco, his chemtrail thing, his diet theory toggled around a bit but there always was something going on, trigger point theory for overcoming physical injuries, hindu squats for knee health, bridging practice, one arm pushups, boxing, lots of running. Well that's a good basic overview of the basic structure. Maybe I'll dig up some quotes here and there. One quote perhaps sums it up best: "IF YA DONT CIRCULATE THE ENERGY YOU WILL ERUPT IN A GEYSER OF CUM!!!"

A wiki page--cool! I think you are right about the firm intention being the bedrock of all aspects of Ron's teachings. Even the three finger technique is part of that. Ron said that the three finger technique is like flipping off death--that you never fully gave in. He said that will serve one well in the bardo too. Another bit about the three finger technique is that the place to press is against the bone in the indentation found near the anus. Most boys push too far to the front. my email is kyleb@1rd$en @ gmail.com with the spaces removed and the @1=ai, $=s

If all nuns were feeling that good, I'd be one too! Great work!

Harry, there are many issues here imo. One is excessive energy cultivation without enough meditation (or happiness) makes one freaky and aggressive like Yudelove and RJ. Energy cultivation brings in lots of energy on many levels but it's out of control and leads to bad luck and extreme phenomenon. And Yudelove and RJ have excellent energy practices too--they didn't make the mistake of sending energy upwards without sending it downwards to balance things. RJ even ran a lot to burn off excessive energy but even still, he had too much aggression to stay in the polite society of taobums. Every time I've gone into high energy practices iin the past like standing, retention, and sungazing things get pretty freaky and I've had to back off for the sake of basic sanity. Also, synchronicities would start to go against me like in your experience. I think that aspect is what set off RJ and Yudelove. That's what pisses me off the most. It feels like the gods are out to get me. In my line of work, I make tons of sales when I do too much high energy practice, but they all fall apart. It's worse than simply doing nothing at all. What I've found to engage in high energy practice, you must have synchronicity on your side and to do that, it is important to be very happy and/or to meditate. I've heard it said by many teachers not to do energy practices if you are negative and I've found that advice to be very true... you simply fan a flame that isn't serving you. Meditation will supply the yin of bliss, allowing, non-effort, peace etc so make sure your meditation practice is like that as much as possible. If you are drawn to the zhuni mantra, make sure it's blissful and peaceful. If it isn't, then maybe do 10 minutes of the mantra followed by 10 minutes of blissful sitting in the afterglow of it. Or lie down to relax the body more to catch the afterglow for awhile. Once synchronicity becomes pleasant, then ramp up the energy stuff so life can be weird and fun at the same time. I've learned this in the last few months from ayp and has been working like a charm thus far. I'm selling and the deals are closing. Not that my line of work is as important as yours, but still it's a good feedback loop for me. And finally, insane people are nuts. From what I've heard, they really know how to get under your skin. My cousin had to get out of the nutter business after a few years. Try to view their lives as a constructive use of the lifeforce instead of being a total waste for themselves and society. If you can see the positive aspects of what they are doing on an energy level for both themselves as well as for society at large, you won't bathe your system in as much aggression and will better be able to communicate with them. We desparately need people who don't follow society's script. They crack open the door. Take advantage of that energy if you can, have fun with them, and it'll be very nurishing for you. But if you can't... get the hell out of Dodge, if you fight it it will tear you up and screw up your life. My cousin is glad she left and she said most of the staff had stress related health problems after a couple of years there. Ulcers were common. This was in California. -Yoda

I need two things in life: a cushy afterlife and high speed access. Everything else is gravy.
