The idea of a hell, in its best use , is to remove the need for a person to feel they need to enforce justice for themselves ...to obviate retribution.

I'd like the one that lets you fly around.

Knee deep in bees ? I like the sound of that for some reason

Folks select Label- names because, they either fit an ideal they have for themselves or they wish themselves to fit. Names that fall to them , well , they may or may not fit. Even so The general pattern is for one to make some attempt to live up to a name or label whether this label is in the form of a profession , or a totem , race or any other type. If one tries intentionally to change their actual appelation , it usually takes a while to feel comfortable in it. I think its natural to have some sort of name , and it be one that fits. and if someone on the street were to call out STOSH! Im pretty sure Id turn without even thinking now.

That certainly sounds like the very nectar of Mh's philosophy, but then ,,,,, so is throwing a curve when you start reading the fastball.

Whats 'fine chi' versus ,,,coarse chi?

I think Buddha would consider that a good descriptive for samsara. But really I dont know whether he would say that it was all. Its a good question.

or aggravation

OOOHH ! , now I get the idea ( chi wise ,, though not exactly physically ' what to move -when' ) that the energies are to be sourced as from the umbilical area. Got it. So if one is breathing in as from the third eye area , its the mental projection , not that Im supposed to feel the air going through my sinuses. Im supposed to be drawing a different mental picture than my normal body arangement associates with sensory info.

By 'body ' I assume you mean gestures not gut right?

Well that does make a sense for the term, but a book said that it mimicked the breathing of a baby ( which as adults we dont usually copy) but then said that the reason why the baby does it is because the ribs arent as forceful a bellows. This belly against ribs plan seems like it would be less effective at oxygenation, is my source here confused? or is it still just me.

I for one ,like the advice being mentioned , but as a point of curiosity , what the heck is reversed breathing? continual swinging back and forth , is the same as swinging forth and back continually, isnt it?

Silvery gray green , good for any thyme.

We just call it 'trolling' Adepts are good at trolling? I supposed they are to do things without ulterior intent Ji Chang clearly made the right decision, his association benefitted him greatly. Even if he is the fish who took the straight hook Jiang though had intent , and therefore I cant say if he is adept or an adept. since he used the means of an adept , with purpose, but actually was an adept for Ji Changs purpose.

Fishing wouldnt be allowed I suppose and likewise I suppose having to chop wood and carry water would suck too.

Arent they ALL Tao Yin ? (unless theres no mental aspect of moving chi ?) Qigong being a relatively young( 1930's) term , and Taiji being a soft form.

I tiried a breath like that last night but got confused. But, is he saying raise the ribs first in breathing in ( concentrating toward the top ) then expand the gut ( concentrating from the bottom up) , all as breathing in ,, and then doing the reverse breathing out? Im thinking that would use the full lung capacity and increase the duration of the air being at increased pressure.

1 , everyone has expectations about you 2 ,there no one to share it with 3 , you dont exist either

Im not sure women look good dark orange. (like Jim Boehner) But Hot pink bikinis do look nice on darker skin., sure you wont change to hot pink? And for the lighter toned ladies I think white would work well. for flowers , well , green and flowers dont look ripe, so Thats a pretty standard judgement. Vehicles should be black here in fla , its easiest on the eyes, certainly gray is bad, since its invisible in the stormy weather. But gotta agree , my tastes just dont matter much to anyone else, but it does seem kind of odd , that my opinion of someone else often is ,to them ! Isnt it? hmmm Would a sage have a favorite color?

Looking at some qugong suggestions last night , I found out I was supposed to do my sets 365 days a year In the dappled light of a pine forest at six AM facing north (to absorb less sun qi) Well at six am there isnt much sun most of the year, and its not in the south but more or less east ,and at that time in the morning theres going to be them pine trees to deal with,, So lets say I decide that Im going to pick and choose what advice I take becasue it suits me better, well then Im not actually taking the directions suggested , and so I'd just be waving my arms around. Statistically if you compared ten folks not doing the qigong, and ten who were, and even one of those doing the qigong was benefitted ,, well the average benefit for all ten of his cohort is going to be better even though nine out of ten of them were just waving their arms around. So just 'hitting a mat' doesnt clearly indicate that one will be any better off eventually, even if the regimen can work.

Well I have been and primarily am purely philosophical with some meditation , but Im considering shifting to some other things , Ive gone as far as I think I am going to get without some new input, I'm looking at Qigong for health reasons ( arrhythmia and Im getting older ) but my curiosity runs to all sorts of things,, but really not supernatural stuff.

Well ,Im glad Kali will only need me to be sincere, because I sincerely dont care to have gay sex in the desert sun. Thats supposed to be a step toward divinity !? Thanks, Ill bow out

Pet peeves aside, should I read what Crowley has to say or is he a crappy source? IYO.

Well I like the image of Kali , but Im not sure she qualifies as dark. I guess I'd have to find one? About being careful, Im not sure one really can be when one gets in ones own head, But , I figure Im a match for me, musnt I be?
