Yes I have been reading his posting on tao bums too. But how can we be certain it’s really him, or someone else having a little fun acting like him. In the end I guess it doesn’t really matter if it’s him or not but it does kind of make you curious.

Hi Steve,

I remember talking to you in 2007 and back then you had finished the class with Mantak Chia and on to the fundamentals with Micheal, I remember how “juiced” you were getting. Good times! And I remember how good I felt after that week too. It’s funny because on the way back I got stuck in the airport in Charlotte for almost 12 hours…[Read more]

Nice! I recognize some of the photos as one’s I took back in 2007.
Unfortunately some of the pictures look like that have been blown up from thumbnails and look very blurry.

Hopefully I will make it out this year. But I’m not yet sure.

Great time when I was their, that’s for sure. the experience is still fresh when I put my mind to…[Read more]

Yes these are some really great movies.

I Remember enjoying each one of these (Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance, Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation & Naqoyqatsi: Life as War)

The Philip Glass soundtrack to Powaqqatsi (Life in Transformation) is an absolutely incredible soundtrack and I listen to it often even today.

Just yesterday my…[Read more]

Hey J,

3 funny entries for my name. That’s pretty funny.

damon

another word meaning sexy. usually refering to guys

Damon

Definitely NOT gay, but is extremely friggin cool, and fun to be around. Especially not one to fit in with sociatey. Sexy…..very much so.
Wow, I wish that guy could act more Damon. He would be way more…[Read more]

Yes I completely agree that it’s all about intention.

I find that if I look at porn mindfully that It’s OK to a certain point and in short viewing times, after that it can become a self eluding and an energy draining experience that doesn’t enhance any kind of real pleasure. For me it easily can become overly mental and let physical/spiritual.…[Read more]

haha.
I think we’ll be OK for that one.

But what can we hype that’s after 2012 and before 19999?

D

I liked that article.

All of this hype around 2012 kind of reminds me of Y2K. I work in the IT Support industry and man so much fear was building up around all the computers of the world’s date error. Everyone thought a huge crash with all of the computer was likely to happen. Everyone was pointing out how the computer on your refrigerator,…[Read more]

Non-Spiritual Men?

>>And do you feel you are lacking today?
>>I don’t think an “optimal” childhood learning experience
>>translates into a happier now.

No, not really. I consider myself a very happy person in life. I am not someone who accepts too much stress in life actually. The feeling of having more disciple as a child is perhaps more to do with what I…[Read more]

Steven,

I think it all about balance here, it’s ok to push a child along, even at earlier ages in some cases as long as there is love and affection being expressed for that child. If all the parents are doing is pushing harder and harder for results without showing the child simple love and fun then yes it’s too much and out of balance.

I…[Read more]

Yes. I noticed that you removed yourself from myspace.

Yes I know I missed the retreats unfortunately. I saw the pictures of you and fellow students which was very nice to see.

And yes please stay in touch.

All is well here.
Hope things are progressing well for you.

Damon.

Nice.
Do you think you might come to this Julian?

Steven,

I feel the tiger roaring. And I appreciate (and don’t take offense in anyway) your directness!

Yes I understand how new age-ie this can feel, as these are just my philosophical thoughts, not my direct experience here. On a personal feeling I don’t have any issues or apprehension of physical death (as I feel we are physiologically…[Read more]

Hi Steven,

Nice discussion!

I just wanted to interject and express what I feel has truth in this statement that you find so compelling regarding joy after death.

There is a parallel to life as in space and time, where as the more present you are to the moment the more you are eternally aware.

Another wards being more deeply aware of…[Read more]

Wow this is really great. A local event for me.
thanks for posting Michael, so close for me that I can bike over there.

Damon.

I know about Michael’s extended plans, but it’s also an issue with vacation time at my work. Apparently I don’t have enough.

Glad things are moving for you.

take care and hope to catch up with you later,

Damon.
