>>The natural state is always part of each person, you conditioning and attachments, etc take you from it, but its always there. people often slip in and out of it, being on a retreat, enjoying nature, etc.<>The very fact that we have to make this connection in our lives is an act of finding the centre again which causes a change in the physical…[Read more]

>>Since this is a Taoist forum you should expect people to to talk and reference taoist practices, materials and traditions.<>Self Realization is just being in the natural state, which we always can do as it always exists<>Becoming is just a word to express a perspective, a view where one does not feel or believe they are were they are going<>From…[Read more]

… there is, simply, truth.

Since I have been demonstrating on the ‘philosophy’ board right now that all traditions have the same goal in mind, your statement:

>>You intellect can not grasp what I am saying, you must rely on other aspects of your being, which is what Taoist practices are about<>The Sun and Moon and stars exist, period. I…[Read more]

>>one of them needs to be moving – the copper or the magnet<<

Hmm, which in the 'mahatma machine' they are not. What IS moving is the mind of the participant, looking at a highly mirror-polished copper NORTH (=yin) wall, on an INSULATED stool… and here's a bit I didn't get at all and have no fix on: the thick glass under the stool, WHY on…[Read more]

… is very much the same as Michael’s last one:

>>Why did the Tao and humanity’s Original Nature create such complexity, and humans with a potential Self that becomes more Realized with every responsible expression of free will?<<

Bagua if the entire point of life for humans is self-realization that means self-realization must actually DO…[Read more]

… the question of ‘truncated traditions’? j

>>The north pole pulls while the south pole pushes<>Given the body of evidence that exists for negative effects from the south pole, I wouldn’t touch a setup like this without adequate shielding of the south pole energy.<<

Well it certainly doesn't seem Swann had effects of the kind described by those gentleman. But what is really interesting…[Read more]

… I think I already answered this a few posts back and also in my recent posts in general. I am not sure how I can “use” a cosmology! What I do is work and then see what happens, from this I get understanding of what others *say* about the cosmos.

So far as I understand yin and yang they relate to electric/magnetic and fire/water, which are…[Read more]

… is that a ‘cosmology’?

>>I see allot traditions cut of from this past where they get there symbols and there practices.<>That is my understanding as well. So do you us a western alchemical cosmology like the Eygtian with images of gods or more like the greeks(very math flavored) with the principle of all things is the monad or unit; arising from this monad the undefined…[Read more]

>>I placed my comments here in case anyone decides to experiment with the scenario Jernej described, or any other magnetic stimulation. If you’re using a magnet on the body, use the north pole, as described.<>In experiments on chickens, the south pole made them dumber, hornier, stronger, more aggressive and less aware than untreated chickens.

>>Can you define “Transformation of Jing” or “Resolution of physical-based polarity”<<

It's not that important, forget it. j

>>Yes alchemist to alchemist west to east your going to get similar accounts of merging, also similar mythologies<>I believe its the more truncaded tradition where there starts to have big differences. The farther one goes away from Alchemical traditions, weather it be theater, food, home building, science, and religion. I hope that clears up my…[Read more]

… I agree with this:

>>I did not see the suspended magnet as a way of working on crown, but as a way of polarizing the above the crown point.<>then one way up or another, in both cases would be center on the spot so there is not a working of a particural pole on that spot.<>the effect of a certain pole on the crown then being secondary…[Read more]

… that south is fire and north is water. Therefore north will cleanse out, whilst south will build up, what is present in the system. In the case of the south pole useage of these gentleman, it appears to me that they accelerated their physical karma by use of south pole alone?

In my very strong opinion, the level of safety on such a thing is…[Read more]

… if you felt I read more into what you said than you did in fact say.

My methods of course are neither the alchemical ones nor the just-awareness ones nor the hindu ones nor the buddhist ones! So, naturally, I do not say everyone has to follow any particular path, and do not think everyone has to practice alchemy, since I don’t practice it.…[Read more]

>>I think this is a case of the blind men and the elaphant. Its a story of blind men experiencing different parts of an elephant and assuming its is the whole thing. One feels the trunk and says its a spear the other its leg and says its a tree. Only when we come together with our experiences do we get a better picture of the elephant<<
