the utopian imagination might be stimulated by rewrites of history, based on new evidence, such as these discussed by Graham Hancock in his new book, link below is him outlining major findings. Planet 9 discovery might help too.

thanks for that. Sometimes get too focused on the (still very necessary) physical chi kung and eventually get into struggling with various energies when needing to check in to alchemical and more subtle levels to get refinement and resolution of polarities.

I was agreeing with you and saying that in my case I still need that occasionally. So I look forward to not needing it.

Yes, great. I still need a neti pot wash now and then and it helps. Dare to suggest that as practice extends deep roots and alchemy cooking need cleanse tools every level. Sometimes a metal issue may arise suddenly (trigger may be planets cycle) and need to hit it with all help possible, including nasal-sinus salt water wash. Maybe just my…[Read more]

the electric universe view – link. http://https://youtu.be/YkWiBxWieQU

simple demo of magnetic electric forces could be relevant. Visualization could be related to fire phase, leading to imbalance and weakness. Better to have all phases working in a balanced cooperative whole. More mature approach, seems. http://https://youtu.be/BJJoA2dTuzI

on the body level the small intestine is the discrimination of good and bad, the sorting process of digestive fire, paired with heart relatively yin fire. Discrimination imbalanced can turn to bad digestion.

Public discourse muddied when start mixing up concepts of discrimination with prejudice and hate. We need good discrimination. Too much…[Read more]

slept on it and overcome trepidation – he is a public figure subject of books and a bio film so natural for people to know about his story – message sent with just link to site. Thanks.

like the old joke about best time to see the chinese dentist, when tooth hurty!

on a local and personal level it doesn’t take much work with tao or other meditation practice to be introduced to all this ghost vampire aspect. Japanese movie comes to mind The Great Yokai War (2005)translated as the great hobgoblin war. IMDB: “This is the story of a young boy who moves to a small town after the divorce of his parents. At a…[Read more]

just like to add; opinion of course:
The testicle massage – taught as part of iron shirt or bone breathing, compression and percussion – to release sexual energy into circulation – and then link it to bone structure – has some relevance here. If this massage is performed with the hands as conduits for chi flow, along with heart-mind observing,…[Read more]

Happened upon this video the other day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ862T1VLK4 (link copied below) in which Mr Chia gives his view. Not compulsory to agree – that is his view; others say jing essence is restored through cultivation, good food, and over time. The whole topic has been under examination since the 1960s in the West. In the end I…[Read more]

Slightly off topic but related: If practicing yoga nidra/dream practice as going to sleep at night generally emerge from some deep space at some point, ie awake for a few minutes, turn to right side and sleep feeling closer to body. Like two different things – one a deep meditative experience processing memories and problem solving and second…[Read more]

Western astrology: interesting that this posted as Saturn has just turned direct and Jupiter (12 year cycle) comes into exact 90 degrees to Saturn (2 Aug at 10.37 GMT in ephemeris = Monday, August 3 at 6:36 AM for US east coast). Jupiter often correlates with religion, religious ideas, and Saturn defines the playing field, sometimes interpreted…[Read more]

good background. I recognise, I think, his breathing method of circular breathing from the Rebirthing technique of Leonard Orr (link to Wikipedia below). Listening to Wim Hof talk about dissolving his birth trauma to get clearer access to the core (channel)suggests to me that he may have done that work at some stage. The systematic approach of…[Read more]

thankyou, I enjoyed watching this and some other videos. Mainstream news did not seem to cover him climbing mount Everest barefoot in shorts; I missed it if they did. Highlights for me the reverse breathing, after abdominal breath gathering and external chi gathering, for external or internal work – like isometrics for strength etc. Circulation…[Read more]

rather than the wood frame construction I was thinking more along the lines of GM Hemp grown in Northern Australia, made into a kind of cellulose goo, trucked to site and extruded into suitable forms on site and allowed to harden. After use these structures could be chopped up and used for other purposes. Same material can be used for monorail…[Read more]
