I agree but thats not my purpose. Being a ND teacher am conversing with ND fantasists to research how entrenched the ND fantasies could be, in order to better serve my ND students. 1 hour ago, Shadow_self said: Ill await the traditional, dismissal of the very true point above, and the usual rhetoric above you twice 'declined to answer' a very straightforward yes or no question with a yes or no answer. it is not a rhetoric. it is a fact. 1 hour ago, Shadow_self said: You might find you may have a hard time convincing others of that same claim sure sure, if you say so. Thanks for playing. *** Now why those two experts here and actually all the western neidaneers encourage the semen loss? Some are bluntly in favor, some like these two are ashamed to admit it so the decline to answer a yes or no question. But why? Surely they know that all traditions strictly forbid it. The answer is rather simple: A. they are attached to this lowest of pleasures. B. they cannot stop it because they dont have the method. Thats why they made up pathetic excuses: it is healthy; it is the essence that is important not the body liquid; etc, etc. Thats the ironic part: belonging to highly secret super-duper teacherly schools, inventing bizarro physical changes but can't even keep it in their pants.

Shadow_self Posted September 11 (edited) 42 minutes ago, Taoist Texts said: Being a ND teacher . Its not neidan Quote The answer is rather simple: Yes it is, its a shame you dont know what it is Quote A. they are attached to this lowest of pleasures. Desire leads to the pursuit of pleasure, and its desire which stimulates the movement of jing. And thats what I keep telling you, and the point you inevitably dont understand You end desire, not ejaculation. If you end ejaculation with the desires intact, you still wont consolidate the jing. It will still move and leak If you end desire, you wont want to ejaculate anyway, because you wont want to have sex, and you wont get aroused and you wont have the desire to. This is what one needs to do. Then the jing will still with practice and diligence I know this factually, not from a teachers words, from direct experience What you are talking about is only as usual, outer door public information Its another way Im sure you dont have a genuine lineage, as you dont understand the full story regards Jing. Because if you did, you'd not only agree with what im saying, you'd be able to expand upon it Quote Thats why they made up pathetic excuses: I think you'll find its you whos making up excuses TT Excuses for not being able to explain basics link Jing extraction and the MCO Excuses for not having any of the classical listed sign of attainments Excuses for never having encountered things like the abilities that all the lineages discuss and use as benchmarks of progress Somehow or another, you seem to be projecting your own shortcomings regards trying to excuse your lack of expeirence with these thing Edited September 11 by Shadow_self 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a yes or no position. there is no context. there is no hemming and hawing hehe;) 1 hour ago, Forestgreen said: ( Protecting jing is more than no ejaculation?) their position is that ej is ok , period. seriously, lol. 1 hour ago, Forestgreen said: I must admit I missed where someone wrote this. ask any of them if you dont believe me. (and watch the shuffledance begin) 1 hour ago, Forestgreen said: Just no ejaculation, isn't that the rethoric of the piggybank club? not sure if it is or not (if it is good for them); or what you are getting at. so to understand your point let me ask you personally: is ej ok on its own, under any condition? yes or no. 1 hour ago, Giles said: So, presumably.., you believe that you've reached the endpoint of the Taoist Internal Alchemical Path? of course not. Like i said before, the end point is the disembodying, transcending the world (i am still here), the starting point is the elixir. I am past the starting point thats why i am qualified to teach. The ND seminar sellers dont even see the starting point. (and never will ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forestgreen Posted September 11 1 hour ago, Taoist Texts said: to understand your point let me ask you personally: is ej ok on its own, under any condition? yes or no. If life was so easy, that this could be reduced to this polarity. I'm married with children, I work to provide for my family and I invest time in my family. Under those circumstances, I do the best of the situation. Here, I am in line with what Shadow_self wrote about protecting the essence. Funnily, I can still soak my dharmakaya in the nine reversed elixir, like a wick is soaked in oil. If I didn't have those obligations (but I do), I would change things in my life. I would ditch this phone ( no more TDB), I would change my diet, and I would no longer have sex. I would see to as many factors as possible that affects the seven refined and the nine reversed aspects of the elixir. Sex, ejaculation, is one of them.

Shadow_self Posted September 11 19 minutes ago, Taoist Texts said: declined to answer lol. never a straight answer from them god bless their souls Oh you got a straight answer alright. It just covered the things you failed to Here it is again, incase you missed it Quote You end desire, not ejaculation. If you end ejaculation with the desires intact, you still wont consolidate the jing. It will still move and leak If you end desire, you wont want to ejaculate anyway, because you wont want to have sex, and you wont get aroused and you wont have the desire to.

Taoist Texts Posted September 11 32 minutes ago, Shadow_self said: disembodying, transcending the world Proof of this, do you have it? dont have it, dont need it, dont sell seminars, dont have to prove anything. i just help a chosen few to read a few books, thats all Quote People always ask if it is possible to study the teaching of the school of immortality; why do immortals not reveal themselves in the world? Is it not just a fraud? It is not enough to make others believe it, they say! That is a great mistake. Their understanding reaches its limits; therefore, their minds are dim, and they follow common views. Immortality is transformation. Like a fish, having transformed into a dragon then soars to Heaven and enters the water no more. Also, like water worms that swarm in rivers in tens and thousands, having been transformed into mosquitoes one day, they soar to Heaven and enter the water no more. Immortals are the same. When humans transform their forms and become immortals, they ride dragons and bestraddle phoenixes, strive to float around six directions, no longer enter the turbid world, and do not suffer from its filth and dirt. Why should they reveal their magical skills and demonstrate their powers to make disbelievers believe them? https://muse.jhu.edu/article/899643 40 minutes ago, Giles said: "shadowdude" and Forestgreen are probably a lot further down this particular rabbit hole than you, my friend. of course them and you are. but do you guys know the first rule when in a hole? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
