Ryan,
Yeah I have to retract what I origially said. I can totally see how it relates to Taoism now. The strategy part is really gold. If anyone is in a leadership position, be it sports, business, or political, I would highly recommend it. It basically lays out how to be a leader and how to tackle different situations. It is a definite…[Read more]

OK, so the last 3rd of the Thick Black Theory material is actually useful. It is all about leadership and how to test peoples character and what not. So this is where the interesting stuff is. The Thick Black Strategy. Anyway I will keep you informed as I go.

OK, so I ordered it and I am not so impressed yet. Maybe there is a wealth of information in here that I haven’t gotten to yet, but so far zilch. It’s basically saying be selfish and cruel and you will succeed. I have no clue what it really has to do with Taoism though, or why it came to me through a Taoist E-mail list. It is not very clear…[Read more]

Matthew,
I am not sure of the links, but Oxford, Harvard, and Stanford all have programs for researching Qi and subtle energy. I am not sure how to contact them or get involved in the program but I know they all are researching Qi. I think that Harvard was actually working with Bruce Frantzis for a while. I read some thing about how the…[Read more]

Puta Locos,
OK, we get it, your infatuated with my ass, I am just not into man on man ass lovin’, it’s ok if thats what you like, it’s just not my thing. Now go back to your coop and pick up a boy who’s into that, you chicken hawk you. I am sure there are plenty of them at your gym to choose from. Now I know it’s hard for you to…[Read more]

Ryan,

I have talked with my father about about Taoist Alchemy and he is glad that I am involved in a spiritual tradition with such strong mystical practices, though he pretty much set in his ways. As far as the use of a K for spelling Kristos, or Krist it is hard to say where it came from. The tradition itself claims to be pre-Catholic and…[Read more]

WOW! This is very interesting to me as my father, in the 60’s, trained with a group of Christian mystics who had a style of alchemy based more on fire and light techniques. They tempered it with earth energy but it was mainly all fire exercises. They called the beginning practices “Baptizm By Fire”. It involves “calling down the light of heaven”…[Read more]

Punta Locos,
First you send me pix of you taking it up the butt, then pix of you getting fisted, now your posting vids of your inner colon. Look I know you have a man crush on me but I’m just not into that. I have nothing against it it’s just not my thing. If you want to find somebody to explore your inner colon I am sure there are…[Read more]

Ryan,
what I am doing is a 9 Palace Ba Gua Zhang form that uses a very old stepping pattern(yes, it is said to date back to the pace of Yu), unfortunately it is kind of secretive. I am not supposed to talk about it too much, but let’s just say the stepping pattern itself is undeniabley powerful. I am just trying to figure out how deep it…[Read more]

Ryan,

Thanx, that helps to clear things up; not that it really matters, I was just curious why they were slightly different. That makes sense. Anyway thanks again. Until next time,

Peace & Tao

Singing Ocean,
Again, thanks. Wow sounds like there is a lot going on in that form. I like what I hear. There are some similarities between the 7 star system and the 9 palaces, but I think they are two totally different systems altogether. I hope I can learn the 7 star system one day so I can compare the 2 back to back.…[Read more]

Singing Ocean,
Thanks for your response. Between what you and Steven have posted and what I have gotten from Dog’s site I am beginning to put together a picture of how the form works. I do have one question, and maybe Steven already answered this and I need to read closer, but is the energy gathered in the chong mai and mixed…[Read more]

Steven,
Once again thanks. That’s exactly the type of info I was looking for. It sounds like a very powerful form. I hope I get the chance try it out first hand. Again thanks for the info that helps to fill in a lot of the blanks.

Peace & Tao
Shenchi

hmmmmm. Ok sounds interesting. My Experience with the 9 palaces is the same in that it seems to get deeper and more powerful as you go. Thanks Dog!

Do you think the 7 star pattern works more with pre-heaven or post-heaven energy or both?

Steven,
Thank you man, that really helps to clear things up. I really like your idea of pulling the jing from the semen before ejaculation.I think that makes the most sense to me. Funny thing is I already take supplements that have those things you suggested for getting rid of heavy metals. When I was a child my baby teeth came in and went…[Read more]

It’s funny because I read a study not that long ago that showed that women are much easier to anger then men. This sounds counter intuitive, but it was a clever study. The study participants were told that they would be calling random people and asking for donations for a worthy cause. Really the people they were calling were actors. The first…[Read more]

Steven,

This may be a hold over from one of our previous conversations. I am very wary of trying semen retension. I use sexual energy practices in my work, but I am also very aware that prostate cancer results (at least physically) from heavy metals gathering in the prostate, this is part of why doctors say that regular ejaculation is…[Read more]

Also Ryan I highly, Highly!, recommend the documentary “Yogi’s of Tibet:a film for posperity”. Really great stuff. Let me know what you think.

S

HOLY CRAP! WOW! Thanks Steven. That is crazy and completely alters my perception of light, and actually what you described, though complex, makes much more sense then the idea of reflecting light and actually puts a whole new perspective on absorbing energy in Qi Gung. Wow I’m flabergasted. Thanks.
