Vajrasattva, Awesome vids, thanks for posting! Your pal, Yoda

Johan, Welcome to taobums! Your pal, Yoda

Sherry, Welcome to taobums! As a seminar participant, you might want to check out kunlunforum.com too. Yours, Yoda

Dragonfire, Welcome to taobums!!! I hope you find some helpful thoughts here and I hope things smooth out soon! Your pal, Yoda

Obviously what Max says is in disagreement with both his teachers. I have no problem with that. Sifu Jenny and Sifu Lum seem to have a live-and-let-live philosophy towards Max and Max is obviously very fond of both of them. It's nice to see that disagreements can coexist with a friendly spirit. Well said, but shouldn't you be working?

There are lots of taobums who are very interested in Kunlun but put off by Max himself. A solution for those folks might be to study with Sifu Jenny or one of her instructors. It sounds like she'll put it into a more down to earth context. If you groove on the practice, you won't need to go on anyone's word on the matter of lineage. -Yoda

As a fellow K newbie, I'd say enjoy K and don't worry about doing or mixing anything with it and just be sensitive to the need to back off if K+MA gets to be too much.

It's true... Cam is the ultimate party drug.

Awesome news!!! Having looked over Sean's shoulder for the last few years, I know that there are a lot of hard decisions that need to be made and I think Chris and Max have made a good one to keep kunlunbliss forum seminar based and taobums for book based students. It would have been redundant otherwise, imo. This should reduce but not eliminate Kunlun discussion on taobums which I think will bring our forum back to a good balance. I wonder if I'll be able to maintain my wind farmer dynasty over there as well? (Like I need to ask. ) Yoda

crack open the dictionary at random a few times is a good drill to help percolate the juices.

coolmind, Welcome to taobums! Your pal, Yoda

Mgd, thanks! Kyle

I heard a technique for getting out of sleep paralysis but I forget what it was. Like trying to wiggle one of one's fingers. I forget which one, though.

Junbao, There's no telling when the new book will actually come out. I'd be inclined just to buy the old for the moment. Yoda

thanks! I did hear Max say that in the old days that people did the 5E very low, but I didn't know if that applied to our modern, easy living ways.

Chris, Is it okay to go lower with the stance? Yoda

The stronger our relationships our to family, friends, coworkers, fellow taobums, etc the more information and energy we can send and take in order to progress on the path of joy. While a certain degree of negativity is needed as grist for the mill, there's a real need for lots of grooviness and it's the task in front of us to inspire the best out of every relationship that we have. While some will do better as pure loners, I think most cultivators will do best staying in society.

welcome to taobums!

Elvis has left the building! Vajrasattva has left the board but [email protected] is his email address.

Santiago, It was an honor to meet you! Your pal, Yoda

I bought several copies but I think I've given them all away. If I come across one, I'll send it your way. I think they are coming out with a new book pretty soon which will be an improvement on it. Btw, I'll check out Ratu Bagus soon, but what did you think of him?

TJ, Welcome to taobums! Yoda

Awesome!! We want to make the taoist immortals feel welcome around here too!

HEY ALL, THERE IS TO BE NO SHARING OF EBOOKS ON TAOBUMS OR THE TAOBUMS PM SYSTEM UNLESS THEY ARE ANTI-COPYRIGHTED. NO EXCEPTIONS. YOU CAN LEND PHYSICAL COPIES ON THE LENDING LIBRARY. HONOR THE TEACHER WHO WROTE THE BOOK, THE SPIRIT OF TAOBUMS, AND TO SEAN WHO GENEROUSLY SUPPORTS THIS SITE AND WHO STICKS HIS NECK OUT FOR THE REST OF US. IF ANYONE READS A POST WHERE SOMEONE OFFERS TO INFRINGE ON COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL, PLEASE ALERT SEAN TO THE SITUATION IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU. YODA

Our dad would get on our case because my brother and I wouldn't sing in church. He'd actually whisper "Sing goddamnit!!!" on occasion. No irony there! I don't mean to dis an entire religion, but the music, the lyrics, the singing were excruciatingly bad. To this day, I will only walk into a white Christian church if forced to. And all that felt art... oy vey! I think Jesus is a rockin out world savior, but most of his followers need to face the music!!
