Www.blackdoctor.org/149/12-things-you-don-t-know-about-testosterone-but-should pay specific attention to the last part about how too much testosterone can lead to early death....what do you think this might mean in terms of longevity? Know the masculine, but keep to the feminine? Women living longer on average than men...sexual sublimation and testosterone levels? Interesting....

If a number of individuals are climbing up a cliff...you guys remember me talking about that the other day? Bad analogy that one...fact is, with the improved means of communication that we have, we should see that the person higher up the cliff CAN easily communicate with those farther down the line. They just take out their cell phone and send GPS data, pictures, google mapped routes explaining how to get there. Aren't we nearing the end of the Kali Yuga? God is going to start revealing the mystery soon folks!

High level of attainment... Well, here is my promise to the world: if I ever become high level attained, I will still be freely available all over the internet...

I know I appreciate what I haven't paid for. I was sitting in a downtown park once, and maybe I looked a little scruffy? A woman came by and said she couldn't finish her lunch, and would I like the rest of it? I was hungry, and so said yes, and I always remembered that. There are many other examples like this...perhaps it all depends on what level you prefer...I prefer to selflessly give/receive. I don't like it to be like some kind of business deal....takes all kinds...

I think health should be split into preventative and curative sections...but a section for herbs, vitamins, etc, could span both....also you could have areas for discussion of mental, emotional, spiritual, physical....

Yeah, I've seen enough gender bashing from both sides...still, people should express what they feel, just maybe in more neutral terms...

My real problem is that I fell very hard. I was doing fine on my path back in 2008, when I left celibacy and became involved in a relationship with a woman that seemed to take me down. That relationship ended with me spiraling out and then I ended up in prison. That left me in a dark place, and when I got out I soon ended up in another codependent relationship, which I am near the end of. Hopefully in a few weeks I will be on my way to a new beginning. Should stay single and celibate from now on....I will climb back up out of this dark pit I am in soon...you might wonder why I havent left earlier, well she's had a very hard time this year on many levels, and we are moving at the end of the month, and I just want her to be in a new, safe place before I move on. She's just very fragile in her life right now. Me, I think I'm not meant for anything serious for many years- only occasional dalliances, if that. Taking myself off the market...

My real issue is that I don't know who any of the high level people are. I don't even know who Jeff is. I'm out of the loop, in research and development phase...

I think I may need your advice soon about what to do with all my jing I'm building up...going for a long haul, on week two and counting and I have lots of interesting stuff going on...will reply to your above post later...

Also, there is health in sheer numbers....I will refer to GLP www.godlikeproductions.com as an example... Its the only other forum besides Bluelight that I use...the reason they are so popular is that they allow more shenanigans there, thus there is way more traffic... Honestly, I think that this site being named one thing (I.e. Tao bums) makes it less approachable.... Clearly, there are people from many divergent paths coming here, so its obviously not just about Taoism...if you wanted it to stay small like a manicured bonsai, then keep it super focused...but it will need lots of attention... If you wanted to let it grow big and crazy, then relax the controls...the Tao that can be named is not the Tao...

I knew something like that would come....LOL. The thing is, there are so many people out there struggling just to get by...I am not one of them. If I wanted to go see so and so teacher bad enough, believe you me I would get to them! What if you are a paraplegic living on SSI who wanted to talk to the Dalai Lama? I suppose one could write a letter, and it might make it...anyways, consider this post a prayer to the most enlightened being in the world to make themself available for all to talk to. Who out there is closest to 'God?' - inquiring minds want to know....

Anyone used it? I have been, here and there, and finding it somewhat efficacious, but I also wonder about long-term side effects...

You have seen how upset people like me get at global politics, corruption, and related issues. You guys have seen others here in states of similar upset. Help convince us to follow the way, to go off into our own mountains and wildernesses, to complete ourselves like Lao Tzu did. I will start by stating a few very common wisdoms, to save everyone time and get them out of the way: 1) While you can change others with great amounts of energy expenditure, I.e. you try to rush in and force change, you can change yourself with next to no energy expenditure. 2) accomplish the greatest amount of change, with the least amount of effort. 3) Don't ruminate on the things you can't change (Serenity prayer)...that's all for now...riding the flow

Well, if we really do come back again and again, then this world is essentially like some kind of 1st person video game. In that case, I see no reason not to go out and fight injustice, or to go out and do what thou wilst, even if it be injustice....in this case, all this dogma is just some kind of control system created by the elites, so that people won't wear their true hearts on their sleeves, and certain key players can maintain hegemony and build empires for their family line...

What pseudonym useth him good sir?

Why that? I've always been curious about Findhorn...

To be honest, I'd like a forum that had absolutely no moderation whatsoever, except moving inappropriate posts/threads to their respective areas...true anarchy is true expression...neat things would happen there, I imagine...hell, maybe have not even the moderation I suggested. How much does it cost to run a site like this anyways? Maybe I will actually get off my ass and start mine one of these days...

Doth he post here?

I would also add that the root intent of the owner/operators is what matters most. Who does own this place anyways?

I concur. When the chasing stops and we dwell in the center of everything neither seeking to be here nor there, in/out, to be understood/accepted, nor seeking some state of all-acceptance is when we 'get it.' If we are like a child with our hand out begging for candy (samadhi), that is like the spoiled brat. God/dess knows how to raise his/her children's right, so will reward right effort, and cut one off from source for wrong intent...so in the long run, experience chasing will meet dead ends, although in the short run we will be given some leeway...

Just because I want her back....it is what it is. Lock her up in her own PPF, or in WWW, life is short, let's not waste time over aversions and negative attachments! Edit: oh jeez, messed up the title, can someone fix that? This damn tablet and me not paying attention.....

Birds of a feather tend to flock together....some birds don't like other birds- i once saw a crow punk some ducks at a stream apparently out of sheer malice. Some birds don't like cats, and cats chase birds. Dogs chase cats, some cats like to sneak attack dogs and then run and hide...all sorts of animal shenanigans go on in the wilderness. I liken forums to a wilderness of sorts. Now me, I am a fox-cat-bird-snake and more chameleon. I like everyone most of the time. Some people only like a small percentage of people most of the time. I like demons and angels both, saints and sinners both. As much as I complain about my childhood, I wouldn't change a thing, because it has made me wise beyond measure. Out of great suffering, comes great healing, and great realizations. I think what makes a forum last is: 1) all accepting 2) no special interests 3) community involvement, I.e. member support (still haven't donated much, but I have a plan) 4) continual cultivation (don't let things stagnate...keep updating and improving things) 5) Eye appeal (take for example, godlikeproductions allows you to change the way the forum looks on your end, choose colors, etc...)- one thing that drives members away is dissension... Take for example, how when certain members are banned, then their friends leave too...the loss is felt heavy...this can destroy a forum...I am outright against banning for that reason...never throw out babies with dirty bath water. If this is supposed to be a place to come and learn and heal, then this is inadvisable. That's what self - cultivation is all about- healing your way back to original spirit. No one is ever healed by being thrown into some cosmic garbage dump. Also, what would make this place thrive is more members sharing their skills freely- non materialism...like post videos of yourself doing what you love best and know best, to teach others...if its all about promoting this or that instructional video, this or that teacher/system, etc. Then that is just commercialism, and doomed to fail in the long run....

Half the problem is that I was born with a warrior spirit. I delight in war. My cognitive dissonance lies there. I like both peace and war. That's why martial arts are heaven to me...I like to do my 'peaceful playful war dancing' yet there is a small part of me that would revel in slaying and destroying a worthy adversary. Honestly, I am not sure that I want to be emancipated from here yet...but, maybe I just need more sparring practice!

Its in the works! I am just trying to clean up nicely...not produce any unnecessary negative karma. I found myself seeking others to run to, just to get away from the insanity of this relationship, and then bam! I am past that phase (nice!)...however, I am still young enough that I have the drive and inclination to go frolicking just need to be more careful this time and 'not rush in' (or out...fools rush both in and out LOL)...I'm always amorous though, he he...better watch out if I ever make my way to Holland!
