Thanks for the raccomandations. I added them to my Reading List. I am actually taking up sugegstions, if anybody has any.
Speaking of good translation I can’t praise enough the Victor Mair translation of the Chuang Tzu.

‘humble’?

:your immortal spirit descends from one and only one.
In Taoism, as I am learning it from Bruce, this is refered to as The Body of Individuality. And knowing it (again my understandin) is a prerequisite before doing alchemy, as (again my understanding) alchemy is alchemy between one body of individuality and another. And this links to the old…[Read more]

Maybe Michael could.
My references are just that book from Robinet and a few others. But unfortunately most of my taoist books are back in Italy. I think you should also check “Vitality, Energy Spirit” & The Taoist Experence (which also includes a wonderful description of a star flight).
Why don’t you mail me? I think we both would gain…[Read more]

Pietro replied to the topic Astral Projection in the forum General 19 years ago
This thread is getting interesting. As the whole board.
yes, it is definitly possible to cultivate while out of the body and in dreams. Know many people that do it (both in dreams, lucid dreams & energetic body). I see no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do it also in the yang body. BTW you seem quite ok with taoist terms, in any case we…[Read more]

Pietro replied to the topic Meditation Expert in the forum General 19 years ago
I like the ‘no?’ part of your message. As if you were not sure yourself… which of course further substantiate your claim by showing that you have been actually living them.
I think the whole thing can be found in a much simpler way in people (and I have been one of them for long, and still catch myself with this weakness) who are not…[Read more]

‘we drop this’?
🙂Naa, that wouldn’t work. At least not here. You just let it run its course. Eventually it will come back to the source. That’s the Tao way.
And, btw, I was joking. Don’t feel responsible for what is going on here. We like to keep things a bit edgy. You know, just not to fall asleep at the steering wheel. 😉

You just happened to light a spark above an oil tank. Happens. But you seem experienced, so you’ll survive. And yes (since you asked me below) I did read the whole thread before Michael deleted it.

>>Eric was routinely issuing death threats on this forum, btw).
Com ‘on Michael, be fair. Eric has had, yes, a couple of periods in which he was not in his center. But before he has been a great presence for this circle & helped many people. His book (I’m speaking of the 100 days) was so much liked and referred that people were joking that it…[Read more]

Aha. That makes sense.
To answer your question, I didn’t conclude it from your post but from RB post.

Are there really people without a destiny?
Hard to believe. Not just people who are not in touch with it, but people who actually have no destiny?
What the hell are they here for? A turistic trip?
We should charge them a ticket!P.

As every high school student knows,
if we are speaking of platonic solids, that is solid where all the size are equal among them, then if you cut a octahedron in its two pyramids, and invert the pyramid so that the two tips point to each other you do indeed get a framework for a cuboid (a rectangular parallelepiped). But the height is not the…[Read more] -

I too have started drinking sparkling water. As suggested by Vonderplanitz. Which means, naturally carbonated, no gas added. And interesting about the time I started drinking it I got a small invection around the eyes, which already left, but gave me the impression it was more a healing crises than anything else.

Although the story of the ‘a white “plaque” the size of 2 silver dollars’ is quite impressive, I am not sure it is such a good idea to kill every organism that’s inside yourself.
There are plenty of organism that coexist with you and are needed. In primal diet you even eat high meat exactly to regenerate the bacteria in your guts. Bacteria…[Read more]

They eventually concluded instead that doing nothing in the physical plane would simply result in full enlightenment taking 60 kalpas to complete.
Sometimes I wish you were adding some bibliographical references to your posts. It would help those who want to investigate the topic further.
