  1. A bunch of free stuff for bums

  2. Hello

    jak3b, Welcome to taobums! Your pal, Yoda
  3. Nice to be here!

    tomodachi101, Welcome to taobums!! Your pal, Yoda
  4. Hi and such

    Josh, Welcome to taobums! Your pal, Yoda
  5. Since he knows how to concentrate he should cultivate more positive emotions then. Maybe suggest a book on Christian meditation?
  6. Nico, I hope your friend doesn't take this personally, but that was really dumb!!! I'm glad he was able to turn most of it around. I'm just learning about this sort of thing myself and recently bailed out of a DIY method to a system where I have good contact with a teacher so I don't royally screw up. While I would never do anything intentionally bad to someone, I don't have total control over my emotions so I do stew in negativity from time to time. As the knowledgeable r.w. smith says... that can cause trouble too... even without any training. Your pal, Yoda
  7. Kunlun follow up poll

    Cat, Not knocking dreams, I'm starting to get over the whole K thing... whether good, bad, or otherwise... whatever it is is fine... just not for me... so reframing everything a bit along those lines. Your pal, Yoda
  8. Kunlun follow up poll

    It was just a dream so maybe it didn't have anything to do with anything perhaps. But it did *feel* like a negative transmission and I was still on board with the practice so was confused by the negative vibe. In my normal life I don't really have strong opinions about dudes kissing me as long as their hands don't wander.
  9. Kunlun follow up poll

    A kiss is just a kiss? I heard about the kissing on the lips as a negative thing from the Aghora Left Hand of God. I'm sure it can mean many things as Sifu Sinatra might say.
  10. A strange psychic visit

    Erdweir, reminds me of kunlun type experiences... debatable whether angels or ghosts... 2-4am is when ghosts are strongest. Personally, I'm very leery of this sort of experience. If in the long run your happiness, energy, finances, luck, relationships etc suffer then figure out how to get rid of them. If ghosts, they can be contageous to other members of the household. UltimateFist, interesting you used your sword. In my limited understanding of western occultism, iron blades are thought to be disruptive to their energy fields. Your pal, Yoda
  11. Things did get interesting again!! I didn't actually see this coming, but it makes perfect sense now that it has. Sean D out of respect for DV will likely never unpack all this for us but I'm glad that things have worked out well for him.
  12. Has DV moved to another teacher then?
  13. energy

    GIH, Awesome! But how do you do that? Your pal, Yoda
  14. Intro

    welcome to taobums! Your pal, Yoda
  15. ... lllets talk KUNLUN! YAY!

    I'm sorry... I'm very negative on Kunlun and I can't seem to just zip it. Hopefully someone who likes the practice will chip in for you... there are lots of people here who enjoy the practice. Your pal, Yoda
  16. ... lllets talk KUNLUN! YAY!

    If your retention practice turns your semen black... stop!!! (Both Kunlun books make that recommendation.) So many of us are either jaded or negative about the practice it's hard to have an open minded Kunlun discussion around here. It's pretty much always been the case but it seems even more so now. Your pal, Yoda
  17. Hello

    Birch Tree, Welcome to taobums! Your pal, Yoda
  18. Mal, Enjoy it like a good vampire novel... you'll like it! I don't remember seeing an illustration of Vimalananda in my book but all that fun-with-corpses stuff isn't going to leave him looking clean and shiny at the end of the day! Your pal, Yoda
  19. HIV immunity and Kunlun Nei Gung

    I love the binary/yin yang analogies!!!
  20. Can feeling good be bad karma?

    Awake, I'm a believer in the "if it feels good then it is good" school of thought but it pays to be *really* picky about what actually feels good... like with the alcoholic who drinks to feel good... something is wrong with the situation. The taser thing sounds like a warning sign that something is off. I think bliss and emptiness are mutually supportive and you don't have to choose between the two. One thing meditation has going for it is that it is easier to just empty the mind than it is to change it. With emptying the mind, good feelings naturally come in. Your pal, Yoda
  21. Yin eyes v.s third eye

    kr4zyac3, I think of the third eye as the general ability to see into subtle realms or as just the brain structure behind that ability. The yin eye vs yang eye is a refinement of that general label. It's only in the last year that I understood that there was a distinction. Your pal, Yoda
  22. HIV immunity and Kunlun Nei Gung

    Maharasa, It's an unfortunate coincidence that Max is so neurotic, huh? But I'm glad you've had a good run with it. How long have you been practicing Kunlun? Your pal, Yoda
  23. Yin eyes v.s third eye

    xabir2005, Tell him to get another teacher who can make them leave!! Your pal, Yoda
