Sean materially ascended a year ago but they still let him post! Even Elijah doesn't have posting rights, so that's a real honor.

Sean has found God and the forum will be shut down tomorrow!

Welcome to taobums! I hope you find more pie here!! Your pal, Yoda

Alchemybot, Welcome to taobums! Your pal, Yoda

It was fun to go to to socially to see K pals, but nothing shockingly new. Last I checked, the K forum had RP2 and 3 instructions if you are interested. I'd say don't extend yourself. But I've switched teachers so that spins my vote in that respect.

Leon, Welcome to taobums! Your pal, Yoda

We have 4 chickens in the back yard and it has worked out well for us. I've heard that there are lots of classifications of eggs and there are some out there that are genuinely free run and not just free run because there's "technically" a way to the outside for them. Maybe research and request the store to carry them? Another thought, is that where I live in SC there are lots of grandchild/grandmother business teams and that sort of thing who sell their back yard eggs and you can pick them up on a regular basis. Ask around or try Craigslist. Your pal, Yoda

Our first Hawaiian president!!

Happy birthday Sean!!! Your pal, Yoda

Hardyg, Kunlun didn't turn out well for me so I don't recommend it. Sungazing is sort of the opposite situation: lots of yang which is nice but can very easily be harsh and damaging to the subtle energenic structure as well as to the eyes. Imo, doing both at the same time is like sungazing with sunglasses on... can open you to more of the sun's energy more comfortably so you don't feel that you are getting fried and doing serious damage.

Like Naropa demanding more and more gold from Marpa... "Keep em coming!!!" Fortunately for Marpa, Naropa wasn't buying fast cars and dakinis with it or anything.

Gloria, Great review!!! That's awesome that you've had such a great time!! Your pal, Yoda

Darin, Too funny!! LoneHaven, This has been discussed a fair bit around here. Imo, often spiritually minded people often look down on making money and can paint themselves into a corner on the topic. Ideally, money should be like breathing... not something to think a lot about. If there are insufficient funds, then know that this is just another of life's little lessons. Fortunately, simply meditating a few times a day will help. According to Mak Tin Si, don't use a black wallet, do good deeds, be nice to your parents, and eat hot, slow cooked food at home as much as possible, and clean your home often are tips to get more yangy/cash friendly vibes rolling. And in the meantime, start where you are and enjoy the free stuff out there. Most teachers do offer a fair amount for free for introductory purposes... Darin has some fun stuff on youtube, for instance! Your pal, Yoda

Personally, I don't have a problem paying for teachers any more than paying for anything else... it balances out the karma better that way, but here's a great site that has lots of info for free: advancedyogapractices.com

There were even astral dragon wars on the healingtao forum!!!

just a nugget from being a Jesuit missionary on my way to Africa in the mid 1800s. My best chum then I'm still pals with in this life. And I was some sort of priest dude in Egypt I think. I think my daughter was my mom's mom. I've heard that it's nice that we forget our past lives. That if we didn't, things would get really awkward. A friend of mine has a daughter who seems to remember that she was once my friend's mother... things like that! TM, I'm glad you found your bridge!! Yoda

I had nothing to do with it, I swear!!! ~~~ Whiterabbit, I'm not suggesting that we should all like each other. I just don't want anyone making overtures to taking legal action against anyone else on this forum... it's simply not in our charter. And there are other channels for that anyways. Your pal, Yoda

Apepch7, Actually, I never did take the Yodhisattva vow myself!! Looks like I got busted!! YM and I are still friends, we just strongly disagree about etiquette issues. Your pal, Yoda

YM, Anytime money changes hands for whatever reason, it's good to get a receipt and I did. I couldn't care less how his organization is structured financially... it's just like my buying goats from Heifer International: there's a set amount I pay/donate/offer/etc for the goat, chicken, cow etc... who cares how Heifer is structured financially. I couldn't care less... I just want a family to get a goat or Randi to get cured of her heartburn, etc. and as far as I'm concerned Mak Tin Si has far exceeded my expectations which is great. I usually just take the standard deduction, so I don't have to wonder how the IRS would think about whether the cow was a donation or a service from my perspective, etc. The point here is that yours is a nasty and threatening innuendo and I didn't expect that out of you. Your pal, Yoda

YM, Are you implying that Mak Tin Si is likely guilty of tax fraud? To threaten like that is a very serious matter, don't you think? I think you are a *much* better person than that. Your pal, Yoda

EasyNow, Welcome to taobums!! We are blessed to have a healing circle and some great healers on the forum!! My wife's chronic health issues have been cleared up literally overnight by Mak Tin Si on the forum, so miracles are at least possible!! Your pal, Yoda

also, morning seems to be better... more time to digest before going to bed.

Whiterabbit, Don't worry about it... Mak Tin Si is an intense guy and I think that pretty much everyone here has had some strong reactions to him. When that sort of thing happens, some bum seems to get nominated as the venter dude. Your pal, Yoda

Darin, Awesome vids!!!!!! UR an amazing dude!!!! Your pal, Yoda

Stigweard, You have the patience of a saint!!! I would have gone psychoballistic long ago!! Maybe pm the donors and just go with what they say? Your pal, Yoda
