Hm I like the idea of turiya From my understanding Buddhism only aims for 3) the void state of deep sleep ? I have seen something in similar description to Turiya called "superconsciousness" What is the 5th state?

1 of the 84 hah

me either

Thoughts? Any change in expression with change of colours +/ patterns worn? Traditional clothing seems to be more vibrant in colour and pattern

Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem haha, found this accidently When looking for Interstellar...

I see. So the colours one wears can be an expression of internal state? I mean patterns too rather than brands For myself I would have a certain preference for certain patterns or no patterns... depending on feeling/

A category is a definition a definition is discernment. You have given Taoism a definition "being healthy extend to everything in your life. How you treat yourself, others, and the universe in general is your health." and yes these are others aspect of health / holistic approach Without categories/definitions/ discernment this conversion would be impossible. Rather than nothing being categories everything is, creation is discernment How does the Oak seed know to become an Oak tree and a Rose seed a Rose etc Patterns... not to say these things are isolated though. 01101010110110101010110011111111110111011010110

Hahaha Uber Taoist ... well I don't see how respirators and microwaves are in the same category ... Microwaves basically pollute/ corrupt the food, respirators prevent polluted/corrupt air being breathed. But also the creation of respirators would also cause more pollution... Rather than addressing the cause we are only treating symptoms Pure air is very important yes. The absolute ideal/ uber Taoism Would be living in a pure environment, with pure air, pure water and fresh wild herbs, berries, nuts, tender greens, mushrooms... the elements that sustained and allowed the Immortals to become Immortals. As with the above kirlian image, lots of life~force energy in such foods.

Well it is only further proof I think... In the documentary I saw due to "poverty" they were only able to afford plant foods grown in the village. No meat, dairy...or even salt. Salt was a treat and difficult to get...so basically nil too. It is not that Bama was magical (other than the purity of the environment)... it was due to their isolation and "poverty" they had little choice other than a purely plant based diet. The lady they interviewed I recall was around 102 and her sister 110 odd... minds still sharp, walking, hearing etc They mentioned no illness experienced in 100+ years and many would transition peacefully in their sleep. I can see how the attention and increase in "wealth" has or is becoming their downfall though. Simplicity is virtue I am puzzled why people pursue suffering... haha Seems stomachs have overtaken minds.

this is about diets not computers haha Computers are not ideal no, for me they are a stepping stone. Microwaving food from by reading is detrimental though http://www.naturalnews.com/039404_microwave_ovens_vitamins_nutrients.html Well heating in general... // +

@ Steve, that is what I was implying Why isn't that making 24/7 world news... ...mind control / distraction, what have you Too many have put their lives in the hands of ... // I like Master Chunyi Lin's idea of having a healer in every family (I have only looked into the beginning stages of SFQ) I have spent a good amount of time looking into health though. Dis-ease is disharmony with the natural world. People believe dis-ease is an inevitable part of nature (or it just appears without cause)... untrue. The natural state is health/ life/ vitality People curse Nature for their own mistakes/ filling the temple with rubbish etc. If people sustained themselves with the correct elements the subtle arts would build upon that... rather than being used to cure negligence. I don't remember who it was (a practitioner of subtle energies) said they don't do energy healing for a similar reason. I guess similar is in western medicine, you aren't going to give a new liver to an alcoholic etc/ they aren't going to be the priority ... as they will just repeat the cycle, nothing learned etc. In Bama, China people live to 100+ years, no doctors, no hospitals... just living close to nature.

did they have microwaves?

Haha... yeh

"My perspective is that if we are multi-dimensional beings:" Body Wouldn't: "money, work, intelligence" be part of body? Not that money has to be... depends how you want to live. I'd change work for passion... I think it healthy to have an intelligence of similar degree Passion/ Creativity (shared interests ideally empowering each others direction) I see money having the potential to = more physical freedom... like travel, or high quality organic fruit and vegetables Goal is making money work for oneself ... rather than working for it

Ah yes, I am aware of Milarepa's story For "good" or selfish, true. I recall of a loving woman who healed a lady (dying), this lady didn't know or request this healing as such/ directly ... the intention to heal was entirely pure... though this healing caused greater suffering soon after. I am for non-interference (generally...you could say this response is an interference of some kind...sooo blahhh haha) and self determination... In some cases regarding outcomes it can be difficult to determine the differences coming from good and malicious intentions. Secondary: Malicious intentions are often hidden behind/ facade of goodness. So when requested energetic +/ healing is acceptable magic? or would you call it something else... metaphysical sciences ... either or... What is the nature of conversation... this would be an open display of ones will. What is Will.... at some level your response is coming from Will... to share... to share/ exchange or assistance? Arising from a request. I consider language as part of magic ... I don't know how many would agree. What about desire in terms of magic... to desire a stone cottage with fire place, pleasant gardens near an enchanted forest Or the search for Truth Would one not be bending/ manipulating reality to create/ realize this? With visualizations... bringing the vision to Earth / or just general intention... is all intention a manipulation of some kind? Do you believe reality is a mirror of the internal/ the Universe is responding to our conscious/ unconscious emotion, beliefs etc ... how fluid/ solid is all this etc

Spotless, What do you define as Majic?

Psychedelics, Dissociatives, or Deliriants. Psychedelic (From Ancient Greek ψυχή (psychê) mind, soul + δηλος (dêlos) manifest, reveal + -ic) was coined to express the idea of a drug that makes manifest a hidden but real aspect of the mind. It is commonly applied to any drug with perception-altering effects such as LSD and other ergotamine derivatives, DMT and other tryptamines including the alkaloids of p. cubensis, mescaline and other phenethylamines. Dissociatives produce analgesia, amnesia and catalepsy at anesthetic doses.[6] They also produce a sense of detachment from the surrounding environment, hence "the state has been designated as dissociative anesthesia since the patient truly seems disassociated from his environment."[7] Dissociative symptoms include the disruption or compartmentalization of "...the usually integrated functions of consciousness, memory, identity or perception."[8]p. 523 Dissociation of sensory input can cause derealization, the perception of the outside world as being dream-like or unreal. Deliriants, as their name implies, induce a state of delirium in the user, characterized by extreme confusion and an inability to control one's actions. They are called deliriants because their subjective effects are similar to the experiences of people with delirious fevers. Included in this group are such plants as Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade), Brugmansia species (Angel's Trumpet), Datura stramonium (Jimson weed), Hyoscyamus niger (henbane), Mandragora officinarum (mandrake), and Myristica fragrans (nutmeg), as well as a number of pharmaceutical drugs, when taken in very high doses, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and its close relative dimenhydrinate (Dramamine). Uncured tobacco is also a deliriant due to its intoxicatingly high levels of nicotine.[24] // I don't advocate any of these things. In the "Reality" thread there was a discussion on the origins of Santa. I thought I'd add this as an extra consideration

Sparked by the thread "Western Medicine" (ignorance of subtle energies) What is Western? "Advent of Christianity" = Western, Western = Christianity // Western is typically associated with Europe/ Europeans (as above) Western thought however has it's origins in the Middle East Traditional European thought/ folklore/ mythos is different from that of the Middle East. Consider the myriad supernatural creatures... faeries for one... subtle realms... The mythologies are some proof Europeans in the distant past had an understanding of subtle realms / energies... also wizards, witches etc Pagans having advanced astrological knowledge and so on Christianity was one of these "Cultural Revolutions" Mountains of knowledge destroyed, keepers of the ancient ways killed / witch hunts I was reading an interview in the Taoist Discussion section in how only fragments of traditional Chinese martial arts/ energy practices can now be found... after the Chinese "Cultural Revolution" It is estimated 40 - 70 million... people were killed during this revolution... 1966 - 1976 ... 38 years ago... Imagine a "Cultural Revolution" 2000 years in duration... and what would be left of such a people and their ancient knowledge... Imagine if this... revolution didn't occur... imagine the year 2014 as the year 4014... We are still trying to recover from this diabolical revolution... Some Chinese are also attempting to piece together what was destroyed in "their" revolution... To revolve... is going around in circles... dark ages... no advancement... I would say there is an (ongoing) attempt being made by certain groups to destroy knowledge of subtle realms + energies, to enslave the world population by keeping people from their innate powers... making them "of the devil" or some other nonsense... sinister forces mind control techniques to centralize their own power. Is it any wonder Christianity is the fastest growing religion in China? Imagine a couple of hundred years from now... potentially Taoism and subtle arts more or less dead... and historians or future persons making such statements as...the Chinese have/had no understanding of subtle energy... I'd find that a very sad day
