    Thanks that makes sense and sounds like the dark room meditation that Mantak chia and the tibetans do.
  5. I reported this recent spam as a test but did not see that red exclamation mark so perhaps it is like Mal said that it only shows for moderators. Thanks Mal for the information, yes this has been a "fun" and educational experience for me. I'm sorry if my post sounded whiny and naggy. I hope my feedback was useful in some way. The spam issue doesn't affect me as much as it affects the moderators and site owner, especially in case of illegal advertising. The updates isn't that much of an issue, sorry about that.
  6. What are you listening to?

    I don't know why but I love sad music because find it relaxing instead of sad.
  7. Ha ha oh wow, I give up, spammers, you win this battle. It must some fundamental security flaw, lack of captcha, or better spammers? besides the crap selling and jumbled text I chanced upon one selling fake IDs and passports, didn't seem like random electronic spam but someone doing it. That would be more than inconvenient perhaps? I have no way of knowing whether a post was already reported or not, and it takes long for the report box to come and go. No more convenient updates I guess, instead will receive spam in its place.
  8. involuntary celibacy and isolation

    This thread looks like it was before him lashing out on all females and getting suspended for it. I have involuntary celibacy but my isolation is semi-voluntary. Though I can live with it for the time being and not feel sad, you need to interact with humans to live in a society (being around others gives me a lot of energy). I follow in Drew's thinking and I add that to have a lead on manipulating your emotions through your body is better than what you are/were going through.

  11. Cure for masturbation addiction

    related thread: Practices to reduce or eliminate the influence of lust Isn't it an issue of mismanagement? The old axiom says that if you are not planning to succeed then you are planning to fail. GIH said that we are the directors of our lives. If you are not managing that energy then other instincts will release it away from you because you couldn't handle it. Any practice is more beneficial than wasting that energy on masturbation. So "ejaculating 3 times" when you're 30 is a symptom of lack of awareness still having the mindset of a child in a theme park or candy store.
  12. A Taoist Themed Forum

    Isn't this a recurring issue as long as everything goes in one thread? http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/18775-bored-with-buddist-bickerings/ Wouldn't it be more organized to have other categories?
  13. Setting up a new avatar.

    if that doesn't work check if the size is actually less than 50 kb, reduce the image quality or size if needed. sometimes it shows 50kb on your computer but the actual kbs are a bit more because windows rounds it off or something.
  14. Reddit Taoism Forum

    Reddit has one of the best forum interfaces on the internet.
  15. Setting up a new avatar.

    I remember getting an error with an animated gif so maybe there is a file type restriction such as .png or .tiff would not be allowed but others would be ok such as .jpg. Check if it is a file type restriction. Try to open the image you wanted using paint or other software then "save as" jpg and see if it works?

  20. Sleeping surface and the health of your back

    yes i had the same experience with a 3 inch memory foam topper so I returned it and went back to triple fold the cotton duvet. ridiculous prices of mattresses and memory foam compared to a cotton duvet. I also tried a slatted bed with mattress from IKEA similar to what Mal tried and I stored it ditched it the first day. The slats I kept to make a special shelf to store bottles and supplements.
  21. How I feel after qigong

    Wow very good synchronicity. I was watching the buu saga for the first time because some shallow kids in the past said it sucked. Then I stopped for a while then zerostao posted that clip so I continued and reached episode 239 "The Evil of Men" and so far this saga was actually very psychological for me during my meditation. *spoiler alert* so after all the fighting training in the previous sagas equivalent to years of tai chi or hatha yoga it is time for long meditation and deep insight. Buu represents the dormant subconscious having a childlike nature with infinite possibilities and powers. Then in 239 he learns good and evil and experiences a separation. Meanwhile Gohan does a long meditation to unlock his hidden power so the whole theme of this saga is to unlock your hidden powers. Then the grand kai shocks him by responding to his thoughts, a form of telepathy and showing the motion of thoughts. Also, the fusion training is about integration and consolidation. I tried to feel out the locations of peoples minds in the house and neighborhood like what Goku does when he searches for the instant transmission. That kind of meditation felt good and might help my awareness. Well I'll continue watching and enjoying the deep messages while meditating.
