Likewise. I just passed by to refresh my memory on some of your older posts here, esp. about the Sami, and noticed this conversation. I don’t make use of astrology personally.

If interested in NDE debate from a scientific standpoint, have a look at some of the episodes here:http://www.skeptiko.com

This is not only not news to astronomers, it’s also not news to astrologers in the West, nor in India. (China I don’t know about.)

In the West most astrology is Tropical astrology which does indeed not factor precession. But there are many arguments by Tropical astrologers why that still works. There is also however a movement towards so-called…[Read more]

lol on lawyers.

Numbers for industrial medicine are actually far worse than the government stats would indicate. It’s pretty much the number one cause of death in the US once you add everything up, and mostly preventable.

Exactly what I meant… did you ever read Chuang Tzu? Sure you would enjoy it.

(sorry hit return)

… Mantak forewarded her jade egg book. Her Swimming Dragon demo on YouTube is recommended over porn any day.

Some people go into themselves and have a look at what is really there; others are content to try go along with the majority, but it is the first who ultimately become deeply comfortable within themselves, not the…[Read more]

Good exchange with Bagua.

Personally I think it’s worth remembering that our sexualities begin sooner than most think or can remember. (Freud wasn’t wrong about everything.)

The upshot: sexual judgments and beliefs inside the self are extremely subconscious in the vast majority of people. Strain or awkwardness occurs because these judgments,…[Read more]

Well, I’ll give you ‘cataclysm’ if you mean long Great Depressions (with all the undoubted) misery they entail, and ultimately the breakup of the Union, decline of industrial civilization over a century or two, etc. etc. Sure, it will involve some thinning of the human population.

But some are talking about ‘cataclysm’ as in pure permanent Mad…[Read more]

Good to see you too!

I recommend looking into Transition Towns (link below) if you are interested in being prepared. Taoists of course have been through much of this kind of thing in their history and are used to seeing the world as cyclical.

‘Cataclysm’ may be a bit overstated though. Being a third world country simply means living roughly…[Read more]

America is the next third world country

Over the time I’ve been visiting this site you (and one other person actually, but the other one is no longer here) have often made statements that I believed were simply wrong, and misleading to any inexperienced person who might read them. Considering this a public forum I think it’s important to note this. Perhaps if you don’t think seriousness…[Read more]

Dog my friend please could you clarify for me exactly what you are *actually* saying.

Do you or do you not believe what you implied above, that the west has no real energy work that is body based left? And on what do you base that opinion please?

Do you or do you not believe what you said above, that the healing tao is most advanced…[Read more]

>>I feel like you forget me sometimes like I become this thing that abused you some how.>Yes I feel Taosit alchemy is the most advance when it comes to the the body/energy body<<

And what happens if I disagree?

I think you're wrong. Is that ok with you? I think there are other systems very different but just as advanced in exactly this…[Read more]

I applaud your missionary zeal in wanting to spread the word of the healing tao, but do you have to found it on factual inaccuracy?

You must be well aware of the many living western traditions that are body-centred. The idea that taoists and healing taoists in particular have some kind of monopoly on the spiritualization of the body is…[Read more]

It may be obvious but it’s also worth pointing out:

If you actually meet people who have ‘perfect’ bodies, in my experience they are considerably more neurotic about their appearance than anyone else. It simply can’t be the case that this ‘perfection’ (which is completely culturally variable in any case) can have anything to do with…[Read more]

… But I just don’t understand, yes you know what I’m going to say, I don’t understand the connection with the post you began with – about women and men hating each other, hating each other’s bodies, hating sex, and having no constructive viewpoint to deal with it. The difference is, you are doing something constructive and they are doing nothing…[Read more]
