I had read an article in Discover saying lots of activities can change your DNA, even just eating more onions or exercising more. The change can effect generations, too. I'll search for my post on it later.

Sounds waaaaay cool, thanks for the report!!

We are all here because we aren't all there... welcome to taobums!

true, but you can bounce around between bliss and peace and bliss and compassion, etc no need to dip into pure pain.

Only focus on the amount of negativity as you can handle with a smile. In the case of Mother Teresa, Jesus, Kwan Yin, etc that's a large amount. For the rest of us, it's much less. Mother Teresa said the most important thing is to smile and be happy and to make others smile and be happy. If you can't do that, you have to remove your thoughts from the subject altogether. Your happiness is the most important thing. Start from there and you'll help others. There's that fable of the wandering taoist who enters a land of drought and famine with the inhabitants begging her for divine assistance. Since she was distressed at the state of affairs she had to leave the people and stick to the forest and meditate a lot. When she found her inner peace again, the rains returned. Yoda

Chris, Thanks for the update, I'm stoked!! Michael, I think 'outdoor' is a Chinese reference to a student who meets with the teacher every so often like in the Kunlun classes and not a one-on-one long time student-master type of a relationship. I'd imagine that indoor refers to hanging out in the master's home kind of a thing. I'd imagine we'll be having some taobum Golden Dragons and Phoenix's flying around here in the not too distant future. You, Cam, and Vortex come to mind, and I bet there are several more hanging out here too who are hot on the path. Yoda

Welcome to taobums, I'm glad you like it!

SiliconValley, I don't think it's been unpacked for us. I've heard that it allows one to leave and return to the physical plane at will, but that can mean lots of different things. It's supposed to be similar to the Buddhist Rainbow body attainment. I think it's deliberately left a bit vague to avoid flame wars. My Swami says that the most simple and easily assessable definition of enlightenment is the ability to stop one's heart and pop in on the non-physical realm at will. Maybe that's what's being referred to? In any case, it sounds like it allows the practitioner to skip the whole pain in the ass 'dying' thing, so that's certainly a plus. Re: Kunlun forum, I've got a notion that it'll happen whenever we get our webmaster sobered up!!! I doubt that moving to Costa Rica will get him back on the wagon, but stranger things have happened.

Strong emotional focus does have a strong influence on others.

Welcome to taobums! Kunlun guru Max or Smile taobum Max?

India! Way cool! Welcome to taobums!

Welcome to taobums!! You can do ayp and Kunlun, just do them at different times of the day.

Welcome to taobums! nityama.com and http://www.thetaobums.com/Tantric-Mongoose-t4860.html seems to be a sex specific practice like what you are saying. There are more vids if you sign up on the sight. I don't know anything of the practice other than that Nityama was a student of Osho. If you aren't in Australia or can't make it to their Chicago program, take a look at kunlunbliss.com and get the book. Kunlun isn't sex specific, but can be used in the same way. I've been doing Kunlun for 3 months and haven't developed the O-Ray yet, but I'm working on it!

It's my vibe that doing yoga and exercise type work is fine to combine with Kunlun, but do everything before or separate from Kunlun as you don't want to harsh the Kunlun buzz. Just a guess.

It's my pet theory that the ability to quiet one's own mind is related to the ability to understand the law of karma/attraction, then one can calm down as they see that life is good. While there's definitely room for improvement in my life, it's nice to see some progress along these lines, too.

welcome to taobums!

Simplicity is best, I just suck at it!

By the same people who brought you wikipedia, wikileaks is dedicated to posting information that governments and corporations *really* don't want you to know about. They are dedicated to do this in a way that eludes imperial interference. China is shitting themselves. They are also outside the jurisdiction of the US legal system. They are uncensorable, untraceable, and unstoppable. Ok, so the US did manage to kill wikileaks.org and a few other domains, but they have 100s of domain names and servers scattered to the four winds, and the publicity of killing wikileaks.org backfired big time. Now even non-techie dudes like me know about it. Two thumbs up. It took me just a few seconds to google a portal. wikileaks.be that works.

Cat, To my uneducated eye, it appears to be a sexualized version of Kunlun. Right between Kunlun and ideagasms.com type of thing. That seemed to be Mantra's first reaction when he saw the site and he was critical of it. After he learned that this didn't have anything to do with Kunlun, he thought it was a cool system. I'm struck that Nityama is a student of Osho. I didn't know Osho had this sort of thing going on, so I'm pleasantly surprised to learn that. It appears to be too sexually oriented for me, but it looks cool. I'm glad to know about it and it was nice of Sasha for stopping by to say hi but I can understand her not wanting to hang out on taobums like Chris does, but it would be fun if she did. Yours, Yoda

Wow... that was amazing in many ways!!! Thank you!!!

And I got an email from me in 2012: "Dude, do not talk to the chick on the train!!!" What on earth did that mean?? I emailed futureme "wtf???" but haven't heard back. I worry about that guy sometimes.

Thanks for reminding me, I just signed up on their email list to stay in touch. I learned that Sasha looks quite fetching and that Nityama looks 64% like Osho through some sort of software matching program they ran. Osho was a smart guy to be sure, but he doesn't rank high on my sexy chart... I think Nityama should stand on his own. Also this Osho quote: If you remain aware you will come to know that sex is not just sex. Sex is the outermost layer, deep inside is the love, and even deeper is prayer, and deepest is God himself. Sex can become a cosmic experience. Then it is Tantra. -Osho It looks like they are down under.

Can I send emails to other people?? Then I could pester people from the grave... way cool!! Maybe it would be one of those things that's pretty cool at first, but then it would just hit the spam folder down the road.

are those probability clouds we are seeing in the photos?
