Taoist Texts Posted February 25, 2016 Well Leth i see we are back at square one. I failed but enjoyed our conversation immensely;) Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liberius Ultorus Posted March 16, 2016 this conversation has gone on until it's destruction, which is part of the cycle.Everything is destroyed.Even if a Tao Xian could keep his body alive for 500 years, he would be no more pure and enlightened than anyone else, for surely Satan has been around forever.Buddha, Jesus, and Lao Tzu, and the upanishads have all said something along the lines of:Miracles aren't signs of holiness. Xian is one who is immortal. Not one who is powerful. It is easier for the meek to be like God than it is for the rich and powerful.the meek shall inherit the earth.Don't equate enlightenment with Power.Compassion and humaneness with omniscience and omnipotence.On another topic, the topic which most are concerned with:My master is 52 years old. He warms up to exercise with 100 pull ups, something most of you most likely can't do in a day.He can touch his head to the floor, do front flips and land on his feet.He fights men twice his age and easily defeats them.10 time wrestling champion from the Soviet Union.He is a master of his emotions and the emotions of others. Others, when around him, always feel pure.He is always complimented and yet he is unconcerned.You would be able to tell anything about his strength and stamina from his looks,but he is mentally, emotionally, and physically strong, flexible, and healthy.I don't know WuWei or Xian,but it is like my master, just as Dao is similar to a river, or a mountain.He is a manifestation of Tao, just as we all are.

Cheshire Cat Posted March 17, 2016 [...] Â My master is 52 years old. [...] Â He's not old. People don't need to get the Dao to be fit at 52 y old imho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liberius Ultorus Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) We have entered an age where there is an extremely low amount of people who are adept with Qi. Perhaps there never were many to begin with. It doesn't matter now. The beautiful thing about our time is that anyone who wants to be healthy and practice Qigong. ginseng, Reishi, Cordyceps, Maca,= each about $10 a month Gyms=$10 a month (planet fitness) Qigong basic tips are on thousands of websites. And yet some who have a small understanding of Tao search for miracle tonics. Tao has no miracles. There's nothing you can do to unravel and understand Tao because as we all know "Tao that can be named is not true Tao" Tao would not be Tao if it contained the possibility of not being Tao. Ha! An Immortal can't tell you how to be immortal. Even If they could, they wouldn't. Xian didn't become Xian by attempting to become immortal, just as the Sage doesn't move Qi with force. One doesn't choose to breathe. If you let Xian go, you would be Xian. If you let age go, you wouldn't age. If you don't look for Tao, you will find it.
