  1. Finding a master or school

    You have won the Dao Bums. Time to pack up and go home here guys. Nothing else to see.
  2. Finding a master or school

    It's actually quite spooky how that works with these guys. But one will definitely find their way if they allow it. I like to call it "heaven carrying us to places". I honestly think the OP will make it. He might even be on his way now, against all odds lol
  3. Finding a master or school

    True. It was talking with our hands and eyes that got me practicing with a stranger that to my school.
  4. Back to the original title of this thread, if anyone wanted to spend the whole day doing meditation, martial arts and living the simple Daoist life, here is a rough self-timetable you could try: Wake pre-5am 5am Meditaton 5:45am light reading, prepeare breakfast 6:30/7am eat breakfast 8am Pysical training - cardio/stretches/kung fu drills/strenght exercises 9.15am Break 9.45 am Taiji practice. Run through weak sections on repeat. 11am Break / Prepeare lunch, eat / basic tasks around home / nap, if you want 3pm Taiji or qigong. Again, working repeatedly on strengthening some sections 4:15pm Break 4:45pm Same as previous. Remember cool down and pat down exercises to finish physical for the day. 6pm Finish. Prepare dinner, rest, eat then read or equivalent to allow digestion. 8pm meditation 8:45pm onwards, leisure, unwind. 10pm lights out Of course, the above is doable if you have a fair amount of things in your arsenal to practice.
  5. "It's not corona, just some head cold...you know what it is? I took a drink straight out of the fridge and drank it too quickly" Were the words coming from one guy. I was like, "chill man. Can I just have my change please?"
  6. I did 3 hours of Risk last night. Had it in the bag within 2 hours but then ended up coming 3rd!
  7. Haha. You might need to shake this up and move over to It's Always Sunny or something.
  8. If you're into cooking, try this korma recipe (replace chicken with chickpea or equivalent if veggie) Marinade chicken in Yoghurt Chopped onion, garlic, ginger Spices: Crushed cardomom Cinnamon Nutmeg? Cloves Almonds Cumin Corriander Turmeric Water Flour Salt Pepper Slight chilli powder Double cream Sugar I haven't put a method in nor measurements because I have always made awful Kormas. Last time I tried, it turned out well, by frying up the onion, garlic and ginger then adding everything else little by little. It's the cream and yoghurt that makes it, so just go with instincts with the rest...
  9. Time for us to get ripped this season 💪
  10. Lol, well this post pretty much sums up that you've been here before. How's the Chinese Military Intelligence job going, btw?
  11. We're trying so hard but the anarchy here is out of control. Everyone will be put in online isolation soon enough.
  12. Loving Women vs Lusting "After" Women

    Then Tyson Fury knocked one out 7x a day and annihilated Wilder...
  13. The perfect weapon

    Well that's just it. The "wonderful post-Brexit" England is so far up its own arse that it thinks it has a better idea? They knew this was coming...simply look at how China handled it, with the damn advantage that they didn't have - that we knew it was coming and we knew imposed-quarantine works. We definitely should have gone into lockdown two days ago.
  14. The perfect weapon

    Was that him or some health expert? "Imbecile" is the word I used earlier when texting my Dad haha. Where are you based again?
  15. Loving Women vs Lusting "After" Women

    Did it not come from the daddy of all Daoist texts, WikiDao? Or have I muddled the sections of the post? With a writing style like this, he may have even contibuted to the misc. chapters in the Book of Zhuangzi.
  16. Loving Women vs Lusting "After" Women

    Key words: "Many" "Excessive" De nada
  17. Loving Women vs Lusting "After" Women

    Because she might think there is something wrong with you. Or even her.
  18. Loving Women vs Lusting "After" Women

    I'm delighted that you have the option to blow your load all night with a lady, and the choice not to.
  19. Loving Women vs Lusting "After" Women

    Love and lust have two different definitions. dictionary.com
  20. Church of the Flat Earth

    I think we needed this. Scientology is getting old.
  21. The perfect weapon

    England has done virtually nothing. Boris basically came out yesterday saying "yeah, we're a bit fucked. Stay inside if you think you might have it". Meanwhile, all my work gets cancelled as I am an event manager. Surely we should have learned from China and gone into lockdown as soon as our cases started to grow, exponentially! Oh well. 3 months of eating rice and qigong at home will be a nice break, I guess haha
  22. The perfect weapon

    China's situation has stabalised with the majority back at work. Hard work too, to get that money thing going again. Those practicing qigong or taiji recovered faster than those purely on western medicine. You'll be alright, folks.
