  1. BUT it is very easy to fall into the stimulation and forget the cultivation...then POOF its all done. This is where pleassure will be the obstacle...haha

     

    Nicely put. That is my problem with sex.

     

    I start with a "goal" for the session but it all just gets too enjoyable and thoughts of cultivation stop and I just have fun! So far I have only felt satisfied without ejaculation once.

     

    Afterwards it's like.... well that was a LOT of fun but not really what I wanted. i.e. enjoyable but not "cultivation"

     

    Working with sexual energy is not something I understand. I don't understand why it is conserved and what to do with it once you "cultivate" some. I know theories, but have no practical experience in how this "feels" for me.

     

    Will be interesting to see if I can "feel" a difference with this Kunlun practice. It's the first thing I have done that requires celibacy, so we will see what happens :)


  2. IF I keep up the practice in the book :) I'm actually thinking about flying down for this one

    "January 9-23 Australia"

    Can / will Sifu Max be able to teach a complete practice? I would hate to devote myself to a system and then not be able to get further without flying overseas for instruction. That is why I don't usually want to go to seminars but this Kunlun system seems different.

     

    p.s.

    The sooner a concrete time is locked in the cheaper the airfars are :)


  3. Why are you guys wasting time thinking about things?

     

    'cause it's an amusing way to spend the day. Can't practice all the time :)

     

    FWIW the practice seems fine, the majority is going o.k. Out of a large group of people who are intrested enought to go to a seminar I would expect a few to...........

    well basically "freak out." (guess you are the lucky one ! ) Just like there will be some where nothing happens at all.....

     

    In hindsight which one would you prefer to be?

    (Cam try not to respond till your no-post deadline expires ! )


  4. Not sure if any of these travel well across the Atlantic:

     

    The Brittas Empire

     

    My Family

     

     

    Agree, If you like the hologram in red dwarf the Brittas Empire is just so funny...... My other half is like the wife in My Family. (I'm Michel, not the dad :)

     

    Good for Kids, I think don't have any myself but I "think" it's p.g. is "My Hero" the character Dougel out of Father Ted is a superhero.

     

     

    But my favorite, because I like drinking references is Black Books. I look and act like Manny!!! But would love to be like Bernard :) (edit don't let kids watch Black Books !!! )

     

    Favorite quote cue deep velveteen voice - "Are you all right Fran.... Do you need me to come Fran"


  5. Yes that is Aiwei, and I dare say if you watch "closely" there is a transmission through his form through his video. :)

     

    Is transmission something than can be explained, or only experienced? I have no idea what a transmission is (or I have never noticed receiving one at least)

     

    I don't think I'm ready to understand this stuff. What I see is a water like flowing out of the movements from the center and a sense of unified intent (i.e. mind focused but not restrictive the movements are natural) Reminds me of my Sifu actually DOING a forms as opposed to teaching a form to us.

     

    Must make sure never to put up a video of myself, at least for another 10 years.


  6. O.k. I like the link sounds like what I want to do :)

    I've asked this before as well, not many responses but you can't read all the threads, I missed this one originally :)

     

    So any tips for beginners starting out with doing energy exchange, clothed methods without intercourse would be nice. Safety tips for her with dealing with sexual energyenergy, don't want to give her a Cam style experience :)

     

    Personally I still don't understand the reason / purpose / effect of cultivating sexual energy, for men or women. It's why I can't respond to xeno, I don't know what he is talking about. I may have felt something similar, but I can't explain that experience to myself let alone to others! Can't talk about chakra's with Witch as I can't feel them either. Sort of feel 3 dan tiens, lower body, head and a difference in the middle.

     

    What I do know? not much. I practice ejaculation control to have sex for as long as I want. I can move something I call "energy" back into my body rather than out through ejaculation. I can breath it down between my balls and anus and up into my lower back. Something might go up my spine into my shoulders then head but it feels different, could just be wishfull thinking. Sometimes it feels very good and I no longer want to continue having sex a strange strange strange experience, this is new for me :) If I ejuculate the "energy" does not seem as solid. I practice without ejaculation every few days this it causes various things I call "side effects"

     

    Going to try to cultivate for 100 days for the Kunlun Nei Gung and see if /what it uses / does with this "energy.


  7.  

    Im going to be assisting in the organising of Max's trip to Australia in January btw.

     

    Mark

     

    Just when I was sulking that my book is still in the mail ........ Some Good news :)

     

    Going anywhere in Queensland?

     

    p.s. Nice lurking :)


  8. My strange semantics and brevity breed misunderstanding sometimes. We really actually are - compared to the 10 thousand myriad things - small and useless. By understanding, knowing, and "being" small and useless with acceptance - you will feel it even more. Maybe I'm still not making sense,

     

    You are making sense, I think we are talking about the same thing. I think my sense of humor is confusing things more than it should.

     

    Feeling (sorry, being) useless and small is my current thing. I find it quite scary and I like trying to work through the fear that it brings.

     

    Nice poem too, thank you for posting it.


  9. OSHO died a miserable, fearful bitter creature. Do you really want to be like him :P ( I dont know how seriously you meant that )

     

    That's really sad. He certanly sounded like he had found the "way" But now I hear that he failed.....

     

    I love his books so much. The way he talks just makes perfect sense to me. I can't pick up one of his books without reading for much longer than I meant to.

     

    I'll admit that I never bothered to find out anything about his life that wasn't written by him.

    Actually I'm quite depressed now as I seriously would love to be like Osho. Perhaps I need to change that to:

     

    I would love to be the man I think Osho is


  10. Hi All,

     

    I'm bored & stuck here at work, but they are paying me to do nothing so perhaps I work for a Taoist organisation :) Everyone here at work already thinks I'm strange as I have been doing Tai Chi rather than eating lunch this year. I find it breaks the day into 2 nice parts.

     

    I have always had a bad lower back and shoulder that doesn't like me sitting down in the office all day. I have tried various exercises on and off over the years. For the last 2 weeks I have been doing 10 hindu squats and 10 hindu push ups every 2 hours (started at 8 and worked up) and my back and shoulder feel good at the end of the day. I do more when I'm training, but I like to stop before I start to breath too hard and get sweaty, especially since I sneak of to the toilet to practice, panting and sweaty is not a good look :)

     

    I occasionally meditate, but staring off into space attracts more attention than surfing the ' bums and I've read all the new posts :) So I'm wondering what sort of things people do to keep themselves amused during working hours.


  11. I'm wondering. I've had a little hint of a taste of the magnetic body a few weeks ago. I'm wondering if the whole complete body rather than just a finger or a hand can feel like this :huh:

     

    No experience with magnetic body (so I should shut up)

     

    But didn't the book preface mention a person geting their body stuck to a tennis court fence?


  12. hmmm is IE crashing completely with the browser closing

    Yes that's it, it tries to load the front page and it sort of all comes up o.k. with pics and things but then

    IE brings up its error box and closes all sessions. It does give me a huge text file of the error if you're really interested, but if nobody else is having problems don't bother as I can just check it out with firefox from home.

    (this work computer does strange things sometimes)

     

    Brisbane in the new year could work for me, I'll get onto your mailing list.

     

    Cheers


  13. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of books or web sites about "sitting forgetting" meditation in Taoism. I would like to try this type of meditation. Thanks.

     

    Check out the posts in "Resources: Books, Links, Articles, Movies, etc."

    it's pinned to the top of this Taoist Discussion page.

     

    I like http://civet-cat.skandinaviskzencenter.org...ings.htm#taoist

    good resources but not specific to your question


  14. Two Words:

    放下

     

    Not only is "Put Down" profound and clever it's also scripture quote!

     

    "Put down all entangling conditions, let not one thought arise"

     

    I'm always impressed when people do things like this, I never manage it.

     

     

    Going outside to stare at the sky and feel small and useless....
