Jamie552 Posted May 17, 2018 Hi!, My name is Jamie, I hail from the UK and hold a keen interest in all types of non-dual spirituality. I have been practising various forms of basic awareness and letting go meditations for only 3 or so years now and have achieved some quite nice results. The combination of meditations I practice eventually led to some form of incidental (though temporary) energy phenomena, and they seem to work nicely in supercharging my body whilst also keeping my mind in healthy check on a daily basis. I have only recently begun to study and explore the world of Daoist internal alchemy, the reports I'm finding regarding Flying Phoenix and some particular Bak Fu Pai systems have really perked my interest so I'm looking forwards to joining in and discovering as much as I can. Thank you, Jamie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dawei Posted July 13, 2018 There was lots of confusion with this account creating upwards of 8 accounts... but talking with Jamie we have cleared it up that only a single account is allowed. Sorry for all the hub-bub of enforcing our website polices on multiple accounts with the concern they are just spammers or trollers. We have resolved this now.

Hi dawei, I am trying to unload umpteen things from myself so that I can perhaps move better on my chosen path - experiencing/embracing wu-wei on a road less traveled towards the VOID (whatever it is). A move towards "0"? Coming from my present bearing - I find "8 accounts" interesting... in relation to my search for my ancestral/cultural roots. Why "8"? I have found that it is symbolically rich for the Chinese... "8" => prosperity/wealth/most favored number. ================================================================================ ================================================================================== Now I am 500 miles away from home living from hand to mouth... I am thinking of making U-turn from "0" to "8". You think it is wise? - LimA Edited July 14, 2018 by Limahong Enhance ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will give you happiness at TDB - Never mind take a rest and try the "8" front again... It is 3+am at my end now and I am going to rest by sleeping. I am watching the World Cup Final on Sunday - my condolence re England... Good night. - LimA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
