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]

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.

… 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]

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]

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

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

The people who write this stuff hate women and hate themselves, and wouldn’t know sex if it hit them in the face.

Why are you listening to them? Why create a personal reality in which they matter?

It sounds like it might do, I can't really picture it…

With a labyrinth it seems to me that you have a set of definite features – a pattern not necessarily very easy to predict; an exact equality (nonetheless) in terms of how much time is spent in each direction as…[Read more]

He says himself first, “Why does one have to overcome the uphill double barrier until mind and matter are one?” Then he gives some quotes including:

Kuei Chong said, “The original divine light cannot be brought into full play because of the barrier created by matter and the…[Read more]

Wilcock is always saying that ALL the planets’ temperatures are rising. The situation is at least solar-system-wide. j

I don’t know what the HT system says about this. In my own practice I certainly do what I call simply ‘paying attention’! That is all the time not having things in my mind except what is happening at the moment, and as little of that as I can manage.

But…[Read more]

This happens all the time anyway in this universe, the…[Read more]

The confusion is one of language, this is what I mean to point out. In general people talk about the soul in very vague terms, it's my soul man, it's like soul music man… spiritual science is precised and means something specific, but the term is western and not chinese. j

My version:

A: “i trained for __ years, dedicated fully, did all i could and still had no results. what should i do?”
B: Try a different method, one that works instead of one that doesn’t.

I don’t know why people think these things are so hard. If a system does not begin produce the effect required in 2-3 years, it is the…[Read more]

A lesson taught to me by one of my teachers was in rhetoric and concerned the fact that if two views oppose, a third view is the way to unite them – one that stands between. No-one here will be unfamiliar with this concept I’m sure! This is what I will try to offer. Not easy considering. 🙂 I will have to be as…[Read more]
