  1. Meditating in a graveyard

    I don't think there is a place I have not meditated actually . I don't see any reason to not meditate in one, unless it is one with a lot of unquiet spirits. However that wasn't the question, I am curious as to why some qigong folks purposefully practice qigong in them. Btw, hi Teknix, missed you! .
  2. Unsleep a PPD and who are the mods now?

    There is a list of current mods and other staff sitting in the state of the board section, somewhere.... I'll hunt it up . I'll also wake up your PFF. The current staff is: Trunk - Admin VIator - Admin on hiatus (Trunk taking his place while he's gone). Concierge / mods - Zerostao - Protector - JoeBlast Tech - BaguaKicksAss - Flolfolil Stewards - Apech,- Basher - Chang - Dwai - Marblehead Also you can search to see who the present staff are under the members tab, then search by group . It's awake now . Please let me know if you have any trouble with it.
  3. Franz Bardon's system

    Nothing like taking the demons from the Abramelin book, using a code he only gave to his students, and mixing the letters in each name about, then putting them in his evocation book . These days the code is easy to find though. I like Bardon's charging food and water stuff, it's pretty neat.
  4. Evil Warlord/Neigung

    Did I really just read this?
  5. Like weapons?

    What is not to like about these?
  6. got teased at a class haha

    That's it, I'm demanding sheepskins for my next qigong classes! Those are comfy, I have a couple. I never thought of practicing on them though....
  7. Is there an ignore function? Could there be?

    WILL POWER!!!!! Uhm no. But really you stop noticing them after a bit.
  8. Is there an ignore function? Could there be?

    I use it a lot, but then I keep "peeking" so it doesn't work out so well ROFL.
  9. Spirit Science

    Title edited .
  10. Password reset for the board

    That would be a pretty good pw, perhaps add a &$%471 to really make it bulletproof. Good luck with remembering such a pw though . Phrases are easier, the first letter of each word of some fave phrase for example, y'know like TTC chapters. Hey folks do that with the lord's prayer for spiritual/magical reasons, why not TTC passages for pw reasons?
  11. Password reset for the board

    Instead, come on over to TTBs, and change your own pw to something that isn't in a dictionary, is long and involves some capitol letters or numbers .
  12. CAPTCHA on password reset page is impossible!

    The most important thing really is to have a pw which is at least 8 characters long, preferably with capitol letters and/or letters and NOT any words found in the dictionary, nor common pet names .
  13. Is there an ignore function? Could there be?

    There's an ignore posts by specific members function, if that is what you mean? (you can also choose to ignore PMs by a person as well).
  14. I don't even read half of the threads on here, and I'm also fairly new to the forums. So I'm hoping you guys can help out a bit. If anyone has any strong suspicions about what other nicks skillzLeet and/or Technix (the most recently banned members) used/use please do PM me and let me know. Thanks!
  15. Meditating in a graveyard

    Here I was trying to figure out how come some qigong folks purposefully practice in cemeteries.... and I found this thread . Interesting. We are fortunate here, we have a very large cemetery which does regular public events to honour the dead. Mostly in October of course, but also the rest of the year. They also hold workshops about how to do proper offerings and such. They are also fine with someone sitting at a grave with a candle, in the middle of the night, during these times . So anyways, I get the whole "yin energy, good" thing, but how come qigong in a cemetery? I did do circle walking in a cemetery once, it was interesting, and I think the inhabitants looked at me funny, but nothing that much out of the ordinary from what I remember. I mean no more so than any parklike setting. It was a few years ago though, so I could be miss-remembering. I was more going for the park aspect than the cemetery aspect.
  16. Quantity of Chi - Infinite or Limited ?

    Perhaps infinite, but it sure does like to "gather" in some places more than others . The forest for example.
  17. Off-topic content

    Something was done about it. I'll let a mod elaborate though. Actually the awesome content of your posts is why you have not been suspended (or more than once) for insulting many people in your threads . Or at least that is the impression I got from when I was a mod. Generally though, good content doesn't change how moderation works from all everyone has told me. Btw, Deci, patience, there just might be something in the works to help with this, but not something which can be done overnight so to speak.
  18. Yeah Tyson didn't help matters at all with this either .
  19. CAPTCHA on password reset page is impossible!

    Yeah just nm what I typed, thank you Apech, I forgot that regular members can easily change their passwords! (us tech and mods can't lol).
  20. CAPTCHA on password reset page is impossible!

    The catch is, if the captcha was easier to use, said hacker might likely have gotten into accounts with more simple passwords. Well that and the spambots were still getting in when it was an easier captcha. Edit, Apech describes how to do it below .
  21. Dream Work: Cultivation in the Dream State

    I did some MCO's in my dreams last night, it was pretty neat . I've had Bagua circle walking dreams before where I woke up with sore legs lol, haven't had one in ages though. I really need to write every dream down, I have found that this brings about far more lucid dreams.
  22. CAPTCHA on password reset page is impossible!

    Can't simplify, however I can reset your pw for you, please PM me .
  23. Calling all crystal/gemstone experts!

    I was going to ask my lapidary club if no one figured it out... pretty neat sphere .
  24. Off-topic content

    Here is where you would post articles: http://thetaobums.com/forum/20-contributed-articles/ Just because I do not post (many) articles on here, does not mean I do not author anything, nor know what it is like to have folks disagree with your works. This is no reason to throw out the kind, true and necessary bit IMO.
  25. Off-topic content

    This is a discussion board, not a one person rule over a thread board. Off topic posts are tolerated everywhere else, it seems this is more your rule than a board rule. Also insults have never been tolerated, so that area seems to be more of "the pit light". Btw, these are my personal opinions, not the opinions of any moderators. As the tech person here, may I show you our lovely PFFs where you can moderate all you like, all day long . I think that you trying so hard to keep it all on topic is leading to the frustration on both ends. The insults do get pretty bad going both ways .
