Taking the word of a blogger over most any “establishment” source is a questionable way to conduct…[Read more]

I’ve often fantasized about someday living in a log cabin (and find it somehow endearing that you reside in one).

Good luck with the tubing system.

I meant it more as an example of what the thing should look like (clear writing, limited number of thoughts per sentence, cohesive, etc.)

“Just out of curiosity, is it:

1) the concepts you disagree with,

2) the statements are confusing to someone who doesn’t understand the concepts, or

3) the concepts are presented in an unclear way?”

All three actually. As to point (1), I don’t think a mission statement has to pander to the completely…[Read more]

1. Embody Taoist principles of Unity, Balance and Harmony with nature.

2. Support the investigation and dissemination of Taoist practices and philosophy.

3. Further develop and synthesize these practices, including chi gung and “inner alchemy” meditative practices, into new and more accessible p…[Read more]

I think you’re out of your mind. I think you should come back to earth and try to communicate with people instead of making up a vocabulary that no one else (and perhaps you) don’t understand.

See below:

Thanks VERY MUCH for your insight and candid comments. It’s given me a lot to think about.

I might have some more questions later. If so (and if you’re interested in answering them), should I post to this board or can I reach you by email?

thanks again,

I’d be interested in her (or your) further explanation of “the chan immediacy is different from the immortal existence in zuowang which is again different from the ultimate neidan transformation”.

In other words, a brief explanation of what these three goals are. What is the ultimate objective of each of thes…[Read more]

Rares, I’m hoping if you’ll indulge me and respond to a few more.

I’m wondering if you’ve noticed any physiological/energetic changes since you’ve been practicing his method? I imagine you’re not lighting…[Read more]

Winn slips up and character assassinates all the time. His most typical error is to attack someone on psychological or emotional grounds rather than on the merit of their arguments (e.g., “Buddha lost his parent at an early age so that’s why he believes . . .” ). This is what I’d call Winn’s “habitual flaw”…[Read more]

What depresses me about this though is that zazen is the easiest position for me. I’m never getting into lotus and…[Read more]

Also, when I sat on one of those chairs a few years ago (not Winn’s chair but one that looks a lot like it — and cost 3 times as much) it pressed my perenium a lot, which I felt kind of blocked energy. Have you encountered anything like this?

Thanks.

Have you no shame? That posting is just another example of your . . . uh . . . oh . . . um, never mind.

Thanks.

Good news and thanks for the efforts.

My initial reaction is you might want to have a “sex and relationships” section, since that seems to be a pretty big percentage of the posts.

Also, you might want to give some thought to the difference between “philosophy” and “practice”, since I think there’s a huge potential for overlap…[Read more]

Just for clarification, Gunter von Hagen may have originated the technique but this is not his show. This is a completely different show by different people.

My only additional comment is that China was more densely populated for a much longer period of time, and subject to more war death, war destruction and war famine than the north american continent. It may be that a large part of that was one chinese warlord fighting another, but the land in china has certainly…[Read more]

Regarding Australia, don’t know but look on Chia’s website. There’s a section that lists instructors by country.

There is no question that the whole point of the practice is drawing sexual energy from the sperm and genitals and circulating it (I would characterize this energy more as “jing” than “chi”, but no matter).

There is also no question that just retaining sperm without circulation or…[Read more]

About how many times you can ejaculate in a month, it depends on the man. There is some ancient text about it. I think the MultiOrgasmic Man quotes it. It’s something like 5 days if you’re 20, 10 days if you’re 40, one month if you’re 60. I don’t remember.

My own advice…[Read more]

Sperm loss doesnt have anything to do with losing chi?

Yes, sperm loss has a lot to do with loosing chi. Michael’s position seems to be that if you successfully…[Read more]

Do you mean do that WHILE still squeezing the muscles around the sacrum?

Or do you mean “stop squeezing, go back to inhaling and keeping your awareness in the TT, and then start the above process all over again”?

Also, I assume when you start squeezing around the sacrum…[Read more]

But it doesn’t really change what I said in my post above. Everything you quoted is really about economics, and about the lack of morality in international capitalism.
