Vajrayana or Tantric Buddhism had its origin in India, where it seems to have been practiced, at any rate in its earlier period, say the fourth to eight centuries CE, by small initiatory cult groups. The central ritual of these groups was the ganachakra, a night time sacramental circle, usually outdoors, often in a cremation ground or similarly…[Read more]

What makes these Asian practices like qigong, pranayama, asana and so on interesting is that if one is seriously and cleverly doin’ them, one can get exremely strong and healthy body.

Breakdance, parkour, hiphop, urban exploration…there are so many interesting disciplines…

But these guys in soldier costumes are dancers and many of them,…[Read more]

…this view underscores two maxims of Tantra: “One must rise by that by which one falls,” and “the very poison that kills becomes the elixir of life when used by the wise.”
-from WIKIPEDIA article about Tantra

I wouldn’t be too serious about this, but renunciation, as I understand it, is in the same direction to which C. Castaneda referred…[Read more]

Jamie Flanz was scared, but he didn’t stop scraping his broom back and forth across the blood-stained barn floor. His large stomach wobbled from side to side under his black nylon jacket as he worked. Guys had teased him about it before, calling him a beached whale. He had laughed with them, but only because he had wanted to be part of the…[Read more]

Interesting what Wendy again said about dragons.

In my opinion what comes to the question concerning karma, it’s important to stay away from the harmfull influence of people who are possessed of various harmfull influences like love, hate, jealousity etc. etc.

I mean if one is serious practitioner.

So for example if somebody thinks that…[Read more]

In my opinion best is to stay away of all kind of human folly.

And what about the fate of Osama bin Laden?

The inverse relation between wavelenght and energy explains one of the all-pervasive trends in twentieth-century physics: the quest for bigger and bigger accelerators. Phycisists, trying to uncover the smallest constituents of matter (molecules, atoms, nuclei, quarks, etc.) were natuarally led to ever-smaller wavelengths to get clear images of…[Read more]

When you start to think about what it takes for life to be possible, the Landscape becomes a nightmarish minefield. The requirements for a universe fall into three main categories: the Laws of Physics must lead to organic chemistry; the essential chemicals must exist in sufficient abundance; and finally, the universe must evolve to create a large,…[Read more]

As medieval alchemists discovered, it’s not easy to transmute one element into another. So where, then, did all the carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, sulfur, iron, and other familiar chemical elements come from? The answer is that the intensely hot nuclear furnace of a star can do what no alchemists ever could – transform the elements, one into…[Read more]

Finally, there is the actual chemical composition of the universe. In the beginning there were only hydrogen and helium: certainly not sufficient for the formation of life. Carbon, oxygen, and all the others came later. They were formed in the nuclear reactors in the interiors of stars. But the ability of stars to transmute hydrogen and helium…[Read more]

I hope it’s still OK to add this.

>>>positive=Yang (proton), negative=Yin (electron) and neutral=Yuan (neutron)…
>>>not for the physics challenged…

I personally think it’s quite hopeless to try to start to find correspondences between Chinese energetics and modern physics, but I admit that I lack evidently some education.

Or is there…[Read more]

I think I have somewhere heard Edward Witten himself explaying that M in M-theory comes from magic, mystery or best of all matrix.

One could also take a look at Joseph Needham’s 2-dim (time/space) analysis of I Ching’s hexagrams from his ‘Science & Civilization in China’ to get some clearance what Chinese have thought about their cosmos.
