. . . it seems like both with the ban and without the ban, these animals
are being exploited.

Hi Barry,

Glad to see that you are back!
It’s understandable that you needed time to withdraw and regain your bearings.

It seems to me that even though it has been a year and a half for you, you
are really still in a state of transition, and haven’t quite yet come to terms
with the newer version of you.

All things happen when…[Read more]

Hello to you, and welcome to the list!

I’m pretty much a beginner myself so someone else can probably
answer your question better than I.

However, if I had to guess, I would say that you suddenly released
a bunch of toxic chi that you had stored in your kidneys. I had an
experience recently that could be considered similar.

I had…[Read more]

This goes right along with what the Taoists believe, that
the chi field is creating everything.

I found the article interesting.

Even more interesting is the actual article by Dr. Robert Lanza himself.
In case you missed it, I’ve attached the link.

I hope that it didn’t have anything to do with my response to his
post suggesting contacting him through email.

I can understand if someone felt uncomfortable about giving out
their email on a public forum. In fact, now that I think about
it, I would probably be uncomfortable for awhile — at least
until I’ve met some of you guys…[Read more]

Wendy,

If she really wants to have a laptop at a discount, why can’t she stay around a little longer and have the money herself to do it?

This would enable her more, because she would be doing it herself.

But, of course, it is your decision–and really it appears you’ve already made it,
you’re just looking for…[Read more]

You should go to the retreat.

Everything you’ve done so far has been honorable.
You’ve helped a woman in dire need.

However, helping her get a discount on a laptop while
putting yourself at a disadvantage is not.

Since you can’t really afford it is not honorable to yourself.

My opinion (said with the utmost love) is that you
are…[Read more]

Sorry Nnonnth,

That’s the first thing that popped into my strange head when I read your article, and it brought a big amused grin. ^_^

What are we talking about here?
Would this mean taking our physical body with us and using it in the beyond, or would it mean somehow tranforming the jing into chi or shen at the moment of death and using…[Read more]

You are absolutely right.

There is fine line between simplification and organization.

Organization implies busy-work. It implies overstructuralizing. It encourages rigidity. This is not what we want. Anyone who has ever been to someone’s home that “perfectly” organized and cleaned knows what I mean. You feel kind of uncomfortable even…[Read more]

Hi Barry,

Sure, it could be fun. What’s your email?

Steven

The below were excised from Wikipedia:

“Crowley claimed to use a scientific method to study what people at the time called spiritual experiences, making ‘The Method of Science, the Aim of Religion’ the catchphrase of his magazine The Equinox.”

“Like the Golden Dawn mystics before him, Crowley evidently sought to comprehend the entire human…[Read more]

_IF_ you could prove it scientifically from an objective outside standpoint,
then it would be SCIENCE.

But it is NOT science.

Spirituality could be almost defined by “trying to connect with something higher
than yourself outside of that which is reachable by science”.

FACT: It is impossible to explain the universe completely through…[Read more]

Hi Alexander. . . I found this to be an interesting article.

I have to say that I’ve never really believed that all that
we experience is created from our own consciousness.

I’ve always viewed Earth as a playground that several individuals each
with their own consciousness are sharing. Under this idea,
I’m in control of myself and…[Read more]

Going slightly off topic here . . .

It is kind of ironic that you mentioned this, because I just got done reading
a short paragraph intro on this in Michael’s 5 Animals book.

Is this something that people train to do for some reason, or
is this something that happens spontaneously to certain personality types
after continued qigong…[Read more]

You are absolutely right. I don’t know I forgot about the
Inner Smile for situations like this. I think that this
could be a powerful tool.

I actually do have the meditation CD, and it is quite good.
I haven’t practiced it for awhile, since I’ve been distracted
with QF1 and DHQ.

However, now that you and others have mentioned this,…[Read more]
