What was it?
Sorry . . . I missed it.
It somehow got lost in translation . . .

There are plenty of low-vibrational types whose main goal is leech away your time, attention, and energy, as a subconscious way to feed off of your lifeforce. Those with weak boundaries, whose personality type is “to be helpful”, are most vulnerable.

Prior to my years in the Healing Tao–and quite honestly the first few years after I had…[Read more]

It’s always nice when you end up answering your own questions. 😉

He also writes some books on Chinese metaphysics also: Chinese Astrology, Feng Shui, Qi Men Dun Jia . . . although I think that the Chinese Astrology is currently in revision . . .

I have not taken it; maybe someone else will reply.

I would be a little skeptical of an herb advertisement whose main promotion is that it enables alchemy to work. I find this a little unbelievable and–even if true–not a reason to take an herbal combination. While the lycium and schizandra that are in there are fairly OK for anyone to take…[Read more]

The full skit is funnier, but perhaps less impactful in terms of getting the message across like the prior two-minute clip that headed this thread. But the true genius in this skit is the realization that it is the MIND that creates all the problems.

You’re welcome.
I don’t necessarily expect a response, nor people to even necessarily read my posts.
In fact, on the latter note, I expect some folks suffer from alliteracy. 🙂

All of the above.

Yeah, this is the big problem with “near-death experiences”. They are simply “near-death”. They are not death. There has not been one single instance of a person dying–such that several days pass so that every single cell of the body has died–and then the person coming back. If there are still cells alive, there is still some kind of…[Read more]

Hi FT,

A person can take the IS1 course without any background whatsoever, but familiarity with the material of Qigong Fundamentals 1-2 aka Tao Basics, i.e. Inner Smile, Six Healing Sounds,…[Read more]

Of course . . . one has to wonder about the genetic component to all of this . . .

You didn’t need to do that, but thank you.
It was a nice surprise. 🙂

Didn’t mean to be cryptic . . . I was sending out a lot of emails that day.

Make the obvious replacements for “at” and “dot” (wrote it this way to avoid spambot harvesting).

Jing, qi, and shen are typically all considered different “phase states” of the same thing . . . like ice, water, and steam.

Michael’s comment to qi, applies also to jing and shen. It’s just that Michael didn’t feel like replicating the same sentence twice more, replacing the word “qi” by “jing”, or by “shen” respectively.

>>>When Lifeforce’s special task is to debauch,
>>>to destroy innocence; who is the Devil then?

I don’t think this is the lifeforce’s special task. Your comment is a personal judgment of its behavior; it is simply a creative force.

What it chooses to create? Who knows.
It’s not even a given there is any “master plan” (i.e. “mind of…[Read more]

A rape victim is not giving consent to being sexually assaulted.
A child can’t consent to sexual relations–due to not only lack of maturity, but also adult-dependent power dynamics.

What makes humans different from animals, is that we fundamentally have enough respect for other humans that we expect to gain consent before taking an action…[Read more]
