It saves you having to think where to put your feet next.

Why all this secrecy anyway?

OIC Mrs GP has explained who Mr Bacon is.

Kevin Bacon?

Not from the moon then eh sport?

Nah, just wondered where it had gone to.

What happened to that other SL thread? The demon stuff. Seems to have vanished.

Synchronicity being what it is I just had a chat to a techie consultant here at work who was fixing my computer. Young lad (they are all young compared to me but late twenties early thirties I'd guess). Turns out he's a judoka who started out as a kid, left it alone for years then took it up again five years ago. He was saying how the more serious he has become at it the more his social life changed to the extent now that he has a completely new set of friends and does not go out to places he once enjoyed socialising in as he said 'It all seems very empty and a waste of time'.

We are as "strangers in a strange land".

Hope this isn't too far off topic but it's as much for my mate Sinan as a anyone else. GM Chang taught us this and I teach it still. QiGong salute id a fist with your palm over it and bow. Five fingers one palm = 6 KFCPKR (Think Kentucky Fried Chicken poker.. It helps to remind) KFC PKR the QiGong attribute of... Kindness Faithfulness Courage Propriety Knowledge Responsibility Get those six into deep memory and all you have to do next is manifest them. Always, everywhere and to everyone you have dealings with. Job done. :-)

First time I ever reported a post. There are limits and using the n word is one such.

I wrestled Greco-roman Olympic style when I was in the Army. Reason was we had to do a compulsory sport every Wednesday afternoon and with wrestling , it was warm and indoors plus once the bout was over you could pod off and do your own thing whilst the soccer players were still sweating on the muddy pitch in the rain. A good wrestler will take down most martial arts players apart from weapons or Pa-Kua. You'll never best a Pa-Kua player by fighting fair.

Apropos these young lads on here with their masochistic cultivation talk, and it's always young lads. It's a phase they are going through and they'll grow out of it. Even the con men who sell these hard 'cultivations' don't actually cultivate them. Apart from when they are taking money from fools and then very briefly and only for show. Always of course excepting some of the MMA types and those tend to be borderline psychopaths. Even psychopathic symptoms moderate after age 40 hence you don't see many over 40 in MMA audiences.

. ................... We get quite a few people coming to class as a life changer. They have decided to have a change, maybe broken relationship, come off the booze and want different folk to socialise with, all sorts of reasons but a common theme of wanting to make a change and do something different. Some stay, more come for a while then move on to something e.se but it's all good. Every January we run a taster course and it is always ram jam full with a waiting list, come March maybe 10% book on for a full course the rest pop in or we don't see them again. Point is taking that step to make the change, once that's done you are already half way there. QiGong is our solution but it's just one solution amongst countless alternatives. It takes intestinal fortitude to look at your life , say "no more of this crap" and then do something about it. Most people just whinge and plod on regardless. All respect to you sister K.

Be still and let go, Of my wallet. Santa comes soon.

Made it then?

....... Mocking the Moksha eh? Be Careful what you wish for old chum.

......... If I had Cameron's money and he had a feather up his bum then we'd both be tickled pink.

...... Yep Yin up from ground via bubbling well on each sole and around. Hurts like heck at first.

They do say 20 minutes is about right for ZZ, any less no good, any longer too much. I'm old order QiGong and it's all Yang til you get beyond the superficial, after that when you can draw on the Yin then it gets to be fun. Takes a long time and I'm still very much finding my way round it.

LOL

Can't hurt. How do you get on with drawing Yin Qi in?

Yep, nothing but the most profound. All time fave though... Kung Fu the Next Generation. Magic realism at its best. Got me through my Masters did that show.
