Seriously, though, aren't you all blond up there?

Interesting!

Welcome to taobums!

yangluchan and rain, Thank you so much for the report!!! I'm glad everyone had a weird-in-a-good-way time!! Chris does pretty much rock out too. He's the guy who has pushed Max out onto the travel circuit, so even if he was out of body like in NJ, he's still da man!!! I'm glad Max is having a good time too! Your pal, Yoda

Welcome to taobums! How was Oslo? How many bums were there?

I just got back from a get together of a bunch of my college pals. They aren't cultivators, but my massage abilities did stir up some interest so I thought it would be fun to write up a 101 article for them. Mostly for two person massage, but wanted to include solo stuff too. Will use Trunk's: http://www.precisiondocs.com/~altaoism/MsgIntro.htm#Hitting Let me know if anyone has any easy techniques whether subtle energy work or standard massage moves that might be fun to include.

welcome to taobums!

Welcome to taobums! My kids and I just watched an "Extreme Engineering" show about your airport... wild stuff!

Welcome to taobums!

As long as flying heads don't endanger self or others, it's cool.

I take paypal, if that helps.

congrats!!

I haven't seen Max do that. Keep us posted on your results!

JoeBlast did let me try his bongers in NJ. (He has two.) They are pretty cool. He said you can find them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

It was fun to see you wondering where your socks were!

Hundun, Good to hear from you! Your pal, Yoda

If it's free, why not?

Thanks y'all! By the time we stopped for ancestor hour, our turkey "dmt subs" had worn off. Probably for the best. Cam did make a good point that if we did Kunlun on the side of the road we'd probably get sucked into a semi. Btw, Cam is one of the funniest guys I know... he had me laughing about 7 hours straight on the way up and 10 hours non-stop on the way back. He did finally run out of material around 4:30 am... not human!!! Amazing guy and just the road trip I had hoped for. Some of his trippiest ideas came after he had smoked the turkey... unfortunately, we might as well have been speaking in tongues to each other as I don't remember much from that portion of the trip except that it ended with Cam channeling a desperate chain smoker. Check it out: I'm a jeweler now!! Dionne and Lama Oscar were selling tektite rocks at the workshop as a fund raiser for their retreat center on Hawaii. They said that tektite holds the gamma vibe like meteorites do and she wore one as a necklace. I just did a wiki search on it, and there's a high probability that tektite is actually from the moon given that it is more similar to a sample taken on the Apollo 12 mission than anything found on earth. Actually, I was wondering how I'd get my hands on a moon rock. Between the fact that moon rocks are expensive, rare, and illegal, I knew I would have to bide my time. I didn't realize that it would only be for a couple of weeks and $16 later! So anyways, I went to Walmart and scored some black leather necklace cord and some black, thin, waxed linen cord and wrapped the linen cord around many times in a band down the centerline binding the tektite and the leather together. And then along the back I glued it with e6000 so as not to let the linen loops leave their formation and to prevent them from dropping the rock. I'll likely need to redo the linen every so often, but my new necklace is out of this world!! The black on black goes well. I had considered fine silvery wire to wrap it up, but decided on the black on black look in the end. Yoda PS we forgot to chug the Oscar brew on the trip!! Next time!!

Michael, Between your many compliments, the attention Max gave us, and the Red Phoenix practice, my head can hardly fit through the doorway these days!! Thanks! There was a synergistic effect of getting all the bums together with Max that really transcends what any one person could have brought to the table and it was a real honor to meet you, Anne-Marie, and the many other bums who were able to make it. Your pal, Yoda

Well said, Vortex! My original plan was to see Max once a year, but I think 2x a year is a better minimum pace for me. I'm hoping that Max sticks around in this dimension for a good long time.

Imho, God/Tao is like water is to fish or air is to humans, so it's easy and appropriate for a taoist to ignore God completely, focus on her exclusively, or anything in between.
