mrtiger Posted August 26, 2012 This forum is a discussion on the way. If it was called witchcraft 101 I wouldn't be busting your balls. If you post grandiose claims on here, expect to be challenged. I'm not trying to be unkind and it's nothing personal. It's in the spirit of Chan. I'm suggesting you learn some of the real history about King Arthur to give balance. I think you find the following podcasts illuminating The Fisher King http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b008p0nv and Merlin http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p003k9j2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you find the following podcasts illuminating The Fisher King http://www.bbc.co.uk...rammes/b008p0nv and Merlin http://www.bbc.co.uk...rammes/p003k9j2 There was No Real History IN Fiction... according to you? Witchcraft? I said Arthur was a Daoist, not a witch I just find, in many threads that you frequent- you give people a hard time. Everyone else gets the depth- but you refuse to. Like I said- a challenge is cool. I can learn from them also. But when you are deliberately refusing to acknowledge- it gets tedious BTW.. a discussion forum on 'Dao- The Way" [as quoted above] is 'The Way'... & it is Interpreted by all - Not just You I am done with discussing this issue with you.

RiverSnake Posted August 26, 2012 Taoism is very clear on what you need to do to achieve inmortality and powers. In some sense this is true. Many would say The Tao Te Ching is very much coded with alternate meanings and a guide for cultivation. -My 2 cents, Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

templetao Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) There is no such thing as bending...there is something similar but it is not the bending that is portrayed. Plus you cant call people from another culture that never heard of the tao taoists. They may be similar in some respects they are what they are and taoists are what they are. Just because you meditate and know some witchcraft does not mean your a taoist. Tao masters have detailed knowledge of the path and of the tao in real terms.

On this thread: http://thetaobums.co...g-the-elements/ you showed, you have no clue whatsoever, about "bending"- Listen there is so so much to elemental training. Its more than just playing with the elements. There is Elemental magic Elemental healing Elemental astrology Elemental fighting Elemental spiritual alchemy and so on. The elemental chi must be charged and flowed and even that is not elemental alchemy. Element training has a direct connection to the rainbow body. Find a master and learn how to do things like give an elemental empowerment and so on. Initiation is a big thing in the elemental schools. Infact you cant learn the elemental alchemy until you are initiated. and even then you must be initiated into the spiritual practice. I remember i had to charge my elemental chi for 100 days before i could start the spiritual practice. and during that time i was told that i coudlnt do any elemental healing and or make any fu(s) or charms. You can have all the elemental chi you want but if it isnt charged then it cant help you. The charge stays with you...and can be built up to almost an unlimited strength. I could go years without doing an elemental med and could still activate my charge and summon my elemental chi. You must find a master to know what its like you have to know that you can kick on your elemental chi like a jet engine. You were telling people they can not do nothing without having a 'master' They can not do nothing until they get 'initiated'...? you are absolutley clueless we are not talking about cartoons and Hollywood 'bending' bending is making an element conform to your will if you want to talk nicely, and discuss it, we can if you want to keep up with that attitude, i will allow you to make yourself look ignorant **The origins of the words witch and Wicca is that they are derived from "wic," which means to shape or bend.** Edited August 26, 2012 by Disabled Not Broken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
templetao Posted August 26, 2012 Sigh.... You have to have a teacher to know your learning the real thing. Making an element bend to your will? that doesnt seem quite correct either. The elements are powerful and have their own distinct nature. I have to learn fire first before i can use it right. if you do elemental training wrong you can hurt your self and others around you. The job of an elemental practitioner is to build up and strengthen and balance their own elemental chi and do so for other people in nature. The elements have a physical and spiritual nature as well. You can use the elemental training to push storms away and all of that good stuff. But you have to know what large amounts of air and earth chi will do to a storm environment will do. The elements if not balanced in great proportion can kill. If you have way to much fire chi that is not balanced in you it can cause heart problems high blood pressure and so. The elements are very powerful very pure and very raw. If you had the correct training you would know that it is nothing to mess with or play around with. My choice hmmm... Well i know alot about elemental training so id love to hear what you know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
templetao Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) bending and willing seems anti taoist anti flow to be honest. Heres more or less heres how it works. I dont bend elemental chi i have elemental chi stored in me. and by having this stored elemental chi strengthens that element in me. I can manifest my own water fire air or earth chi that i stored. Now when i do this since at the time of manifestation i am connecting to the element in me and bringing it out so in turn i will also start to connect to that element in nature as well. Since im bringing my own earth chi out and controlling it the immediate earth chi surrounding me will follow this flow as well. A natural connection to the elements will build and strengthen over time. But your control and use of the elements in the world is directly proportional to the strength and flow of your own elemental chi.

Well i know alot about elemental training so id love to hear what you know You are NOT getting any of your 'teachings' from a reputable source. You telling me I am not a Daoist, was your first error. You have no clue about me, nor about anyone else. You can't walk up to a stranger and tell them their path is not 'the way' [that's what Dao actually means].. because it doesn't fit your description. You can do that in christianity, tell a pentacostal he is not a christian because you're a baptist and think you're better. The Dao means something to everyone- there are no limits, nor box to fit the Dao inside. If you have no idea what Daoism is, you are not going to understand Daoist Sorcerery. Sigh.... The elements are very powerful very pure and very raw. If you had the correct training you would know that it is nothing to mess with or play around with. My choice hmmm... Well i know alot about elemental training so id love to hear what you know Now you throw around this secret knowledge you have, and try to back it up with mystical fear and ''nothing to mess around it'' No, I am not going to explain all I know to someone like you who pretends they know it all. If you have a direct question, I will be glad to discuss it. Just because I am nice and post a lot of info in an altruistic manner, does not mean you can try to make a fool out of me. My original premise stands- you have no clue what you are talking about. The origins of the words witch and Wicca is that they are derived from "wic," which means to shape or bend. This means... simply: ALL WITCHES, MAGICKIANS, SORCERERS, WIZARDS ARE BENDERS. THEY BEND. MAGICK IS BENDING... TO CONFORM TO THE WILL First you say you need a master to learn to bend Then you say there's no such thing as bending Now you have a lot of elemental training Elemental is NOT element An elemental is the personification of the element a mermaid is an elemental the water is the actual element shut off the TV and pick up a book before you challenege someone like me I told you, before- stop with the attitude or I will allow you to look ignorant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrtiger Posted August 26, 2012 You say Arthur is a Daoist. You want him to be a Daoist. I think you've just invented this for your own amusement. You want people to congratulate you for your profound insights. But you've just made this fantasy up out of thin air. Why?
