Procurator Posted January 5, 2008 ...and since then I am into taoist meditation, knoing that I am on the right path! you have correct premises, but you will not be on a "right path" until you find a teacher   But not with great success, that's why I joined the Tao Bums! I think that I simply dont know or don't understand some fundamental stuff and hope that you folks can help me with that! so you hope that the blind will lead the blind...that is a quite common hope in the world of the red dust.

Procurator Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Well...why? There were always great men (and Women, I presume) in history who made it on their own to the highest level possible. wrong. niemand on they own. never.   We all know the basics, you all do? the basics? really? i would laugh at it except when simplemindedness reaches its highest level, it is only marginally funny. this forum is a potential laboratory and we are the laboratory technicians as well as the experiments! until a person has a teacher, he is just a "straw dog" Edited January 5, 2008 by Procurator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Procurator Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) you only told me your opinion or your belief, but you didn't illustrate it with an coherent argumentation. whether an argument is coherent or not is a matter of a subjective opinion. Â here is the argument: Â So I think I failed to cold-storage the chi and it was somehow flowing out again. Does someone here know, what was the reason for me that I lost all the chi I stored again? Â now i know the correct answer to your question. you and everybody else on this forum (with a possible exception of one person) dont, and naturally never will be able to figure it out on your own. There are hundreds of questions like that ahead on the path, and unless somebody tells you - you will never know.
