Highly enjoyable posts Taomeow!

You can't deny it and then say "yes something like that is possible"... I'd say if you have the ability to de and re materialize you'd probably have control over your life and death...know what will is etc To achieve such I think you would need a good understanding of will + thought I agree with most everything else you have said

Sounds about right. So I guess this is how some would be able to... materialize and dematerialize at will?

~ radio into a radio wave... ~ I'd say the radio is already a type of wave the organic I guess would have greater potentials

That reminds me of something in the movie FairyTale: A True Story (1997) Hmm basically... being in certain persons energy field can change/ open perception further. Or that energy field was allowing the unseen to be seen

fasting/ fresh fruit + distilled water removing all inorganic material from the body 4ish liters of distilled water a day ... days of only one fruit ...mangoes a week of mangoes and oranges + distilled water = tangible connection to the environment... feeling very light, mild bliss throughout.... clarity If continued over 6 months... a year or 2 ... + over coming self limitation/ what one thinks is possible... who knows... that is the plan for 2015. people for one question being able to live on mangoes for a week...and so on... many say they lack the discipline, I find it more than enjoyable though The accounts of the Immortals I have read is 90% diet related and that diet becoming lighter and lighter... and so the body also becomes lighter and lighter... energetics If people changed their diet it might save them 20 odd years of meditation or advance it 10x people meditating for years to find peace... but are at constant war with their own bodies... love your body, nourish your cells and it will love you back 25 years of age, work in progress http://thetaobums.com/topic/36842-10000-suns/ What are you findings?

Well I trust that you are speaking the truth when you say "I've witnessed pretty hardcore proof of ghosts, I've moved small objects across a table with no physical contact" etc... I have no reason to doubt you. What you have shared doesn't gain you anything really? These are mostly anonymous accounts? the only thing gained is sharing of experiences... from that we may learn something new. If we all decided "The way we perceive things is very limited, and open to interpretation/distortion. It's important to not let yourself get carried away and add to the distractions, if your goal is finding inner peace." There would be no forum... rocks have inner peace What is your purpose of being here? to tell people that their experiences aren't real? seems like a waste of time to me.

What about world history?

The skepticism is strange for a Taoist forum, true (for me (haha))

Yeh such discussion is outside the realm of many even on a Taoist forum... It can't be imagined/ felt by them I don't know of anyone teaching it. My own is based on intuition + finding texts like the above and experimenting/experience I was looking for some confirmation in that 10'000 suns thread, in that I talk about Greek, Celtic and Norse examples that seem to indicate similar to the Japanese + Chinese accounts. An example Iliad V. 364–382[2] Blood follow'd, but immortal; ichor pure, Such as the blest inhabitants of heav'n May bleed, nectareous; for the Gods eat not Man's food, nor slake as he with sable wine Their thirst, thence bloodless and from death exempt. †

I agree, I mean more refined chi...not as dense so the body becomes more heavenly? I am seriously interested. Re unicorn: More of my ideas regarding this: http://thetaobums.com/topic/36842-10000-suns/

Hm, ya So... technically one could live on Chi? cut out the middleman so to say? Is Chi different to Sunlight/. Cosmic/ Radiant energy? Then you fly away like a unicorn?

Nature is Nature As with my examples before though... is raining down agent orange Natural? is creating GMO crops that cause organ damage/ cancer natural? you can't see these things as good or bad? If there is no good or bad/ right or wrong answer why even bother having this discussion with me? Maybe I could say working with Nature/ Tao is Light/awareness and working against is darkness/ ignorance I also believe Nature has transcendental aspects/ realms "Angels" and "demons" are present in human form, other and within the mind... as is heaven and hell and everything in between... I know of people who live in hell and I know of people who live in heaven... I know of people who attract demon like creatures and others who attract divine... like attracts like perhaps? a law of correspondence ... criminals become friends with criminals etc generally vampires attract vampires etc For others the criminal worlds are basically non-existent ...like another world... maybe you could call it parallel realities? Again I don't see these things as a duality as such... To create beautiful things is to create beautiful things it comes from the purity of the heart and mind. Others with pure hearts and minds will be attracted to the works of pure hearts and minds. For me it is just about the awareness of different realms... not duality Like different music genres some I listen to, some I don't etc ... doesn't mean the one I don't listen to/ engage doesn't exist

I see Light and dark would need more defining ... I don't believe in a duality of these things... they are different worlds that sometimes cross paths... Grades of light and the absence of light Light = life, empowerment, self generation/self perpetuating, expansion/ creativity, discipline/ high reasoning/ awareness Dark = death, dis-empowerment, dependency, contraction, destruction, abuse, unconscious Beings of Light become Suns Beings of death will be nothing more than parasites in constant fear of oblivion There is nothing to fear, there is only to understand and go beyond

Each to their own but I want be entertaining vampires and other beings wanting to experiment... Just as in nature if you attack something prepare to be attacked back. Nature defends itself with utmost fury. If you are taking somebodies life force against their will = dark side If you are creating self terminating gmo seeds = dark side If you are raining down agent orange on innocent village people = dark side etc.... no empathy, completely self absorbed Maybe only dark side would say there is no light... ha or light and dark is meaningless etc or general confusion

Lth you are correct, trust yourself. It could be that a large part of humanity is being harvested of psychic energy there are malicious beings in many forms including human. Humans largely unwitting are engaging in demonic practices = consumption of animal flesh = corpse eating demon The demonic realms working through certain people are creating mass apathy within the human psyche... drugs ("medical" included) and even alcohol leave people open to these beings. With a Sattvic diet you won't be engaging in this and go beyond it Many here can't see/ have no intuition etc because they live tamasic lives. Do not explore "shadow side" you are correct about thoughts. Defeat the shadows... don't explore it... it is a road to the abyss long story short ... I thought/felt a person was possessed. A few weeks later in conversions with 3rd party this person themselves had said they felt possessed and saw spirits etc after drug usage This person was an energy vampire/ host for one The person I lived with was having nightmares associated with this person I also started to have strange thoughts that I knew were not my own. This dark creature appeared (mental vision)... I destroyed it. Person didn't come back for a long time and is now 99% no longer in our lives. After defeating this dark spectra and its dark thoughts you could say a burst of rainbows and light (to everyone) You are powerful, do not turn away, do not explore the darkside haha // 1 other short story, at a Tibetan retreat In the volunteer house 1 night i was getting very strange feelings and dreams so I got up to read a book + think Image of black snake like swimming in shadowy waters My roommate got up 1/2 hour odd later... and came into the lounge room... he was into mediation etc I said do you feel something odd? he said yes... he was experiencing similar We had our own space I suppose pretty well protected. A couple of days later when speaking about it a woman in another room said she was "attacked" by this being and she was frozen with fear and couldn't move... she said she tried to hit the walls to get us to help her but she couldn't move and later she didn't want to wake us... because people doubt themselves (was that real etc?) ... the thing spoke to her and said "i've got you" Odd thing... that was during a Tibetan purification retreat... the monks there must have fkd up or not contained something...or maybe those monks are dark side... or unconscious This is just another example and verification that your thoughts are not always your own... All the best!

The definitions are still weak Do you take "psychostimulants" ? or sell them? Doctors being glorified drug dealers

Whoever came up with those terms didn't do a very good job. I am psycho-active right now = mind active... they should have been more precise psycho- word-forming element meaning "mind, mental; spirit, unconscious," from Greek psykho-, combining form of psykhe (see psyche). I suppose similar could be said for a number of words

Addressing abhorred double standards in the mass media.
