Craig, At least it won't be as suspenseful!! I hope you have fun! Your pal, Yoda

Rodger, I'm all the way in SC, but I'd be happy to lend you my book. Do they overnight US to Canada I wonder? Your pal, Yoda

In NJ, he let us bums take a close look at his head and the sutures (sp?) of his skull are definitely soft and puffy like a baby's.

There are always positive aspects to all eventualities. Don't have to do the laundry for one.

Sweet!!! Smile... dig that popcorn dude!!!

Goodwill here in SC would put them in the roundfile. My Lama told me that if you can't find sacred texts a good home that burning is good too. Hope I didn't offend anyone!

I'm addicted to reading in general and it's my ideal to read a book a day but once I read something I'll give it away or burn it if I can't find any takers so as to release the wisdom. I have a few Tibetan slogan training books, Victory through Vaastu, Way of Qigong by Cohen, Max's recent Kunlun book, Hafiz and other poetry books, a copy of Anna Grandmother of Jesus, some Abraham books for my kids, The Hathor Material, a slurry of western magic reference books, and my grandmother Ruth's Bible. I like the vibe they give off when all together so I have them next to my bed with a statue of Ganesha, an image of Jesus, an obsidian ball, my Egyptian rods, a Navajo drum, and a crazy copper yantra that's hard to describe.

AbundantEnergy, I love your name! Welcome to taobums! Your pal, Yoda

de_paradise, Cool vid? Have you tried it? I need to lose a few lbs or better yet some kgs. Let me know! You might try some of the magic forums out there... this sort of thing is right up their ally. your pal, Yoda

thanks for the announcement!

Oh dang... she's messin' with us!! Taomeow, good luck with the glue. Have you tried nailpolish remover? Works like a charm. Your pal, Yoda

Amongst my fav mantras: gayatri, healing sounds, and "El, Ka, Leem, Om" (from "Hathor Material" by Kenyon: earth, fire, water, space mantra for balancing the elements. Ideally said in groupings of 4.)

I'm glad you had fun!

She's team written it with her taoist translator partner. Very autobiographical, should be a good read. Anyone checked it out?

too few gurus are worth stripping, imo.

I won't be there but I hope you have fun with it!

Pan, I remember reading and enjoying your posts on the key sound forum, it's an honor to have you here! Your pal, Yoda

Fun!!

I've noticed that nourishing clays seem to have lots of iron. I take clay regularly these days but just a bit due to the high iron... Start with Sonne's if you are into the cleaning angle. For nourishment... tough call. Maybe pascalite, but go with a small dose. I'd be curious as to what others would recommend.

Dude, you are channeling a librarian!

Vajrasattva, Fantastic idea!! This will usher in a new age for us far flung bums! Your pal, Yoda

All religions are welcome here! Manners, kindness, acceptance, etc aren't taobum strongpoints, however. In general, I think celibacy can be perfectly safe as long as there aren't strong emotions associated with it. Like in the Bible verse, if there's a lot of lust felt (either normal, everyday lust or induced by sexually aroused cultivation practice or herbal boosters, etc) then that's when things get complicated and requires lots of cultivation skill or a regular release. Alchemicaltaoism.com is a good resource along these lines. Yoda

Nice! Welcome to taobums!

It made me lactate! I tend to periodize fish oil these days. Men's sexual performance can suffer but it can boost aspects of cultivation practice so it can be worth it. It's good to take before cultivation practice or if I need a pick-me-up.
