    Spontaneous healing.

     

    Spontaneous recollection of kung fu movements.

     

    Prescience of a strange order.

     

    Improved health.

     

    Improved senses and physical abilities.

     

    Only to a very limited degree, you understand.

     

    I am not making any grand claims.

     

    But quite possibly things like these might occur.

     

    And other Things, far more mysterious, which are not yet spoken of.

     

    Hmm.

     

    Mysterious.

    If anyone is interested I am adding some footnote links to my poems on my blog.

     

    Shameless self promotion!

     

    But it adds to the meaning of the poems.

     

    Surely someone, somewhere is getting the odd chuckle out of my poems.

     

    I know they're mad.

     

    Mad as a hatter.

     

    Mad as hell.

    I wonder also whether this figure might be related to The Most Ancient of Days.

     

    That is, an elderly robed figure with a long white beard but full of power and authority.

     

    Or does that figure stand above and/or beyond the Lord of Heaven?

     

    Therefore related to some aspect of The Three Pure Ones?

     

    Perhaps "Time" is a related concept, The Supreme Pure One in the Taoist triune.

    Thank you for your contributions here taomeow, and flowinghands.

     

     

     

    Don't go chasin' Star Vega!

     

    The Jade Emperor might get upset!

     

    And er... about those peaches...

     

    I ate of the fruits of my meditation.

     

    Even a stupid monkey can learn a few tricks.

  5. I had to try replicating this pose. Well, its power (as well as its difficulty) is in its perfect balance! Pretty hard to find it without the extra arms. The arm that is holding the staff especially, that one is very handy, no pun intended. I had to use my elbow instead, against a leg of the table.

     

    I had a go too.

     

    I have never had a yoga lesson in my life.

     

    But with my staff I held the position for twenty seconds.

     

    I would improve enormously with practice.

     

    Might be fun.

    I have had similar experiences since a child.

     

    I understood them to be mystical and visionary.

     

    Usually scenes of natural beauty shining with indescribable light and meaning.

     

    Similar sorts of effects are typically introduced by quiet consciousness expanding awareness meditation.

     

    Which maybe I should do more of.

     

    Wouldn't want to see past all illusion in one day, that would be quite rough on the psyche.

     

    I have no doubt this is correct.

     

    Isn't it so that true immunity doesnt mean resistance in a sense of blocking or shutting off - it's merely a redirection of 'negative' slash detrimental energies or a recycling or transformation of such.

     

    That sounds good.

     

    A transformation, a transmutation, a purification.

    There is a lot of bad karma swirling around the relations between the genders.

     

    We must all seek to resolve this for the good of all beings.

     

    Enough for Love but not for Greed!

     

    Seek purity in all things I would say.

     

    But do not starve yourself of what you need to exist as a being.

     

    Asceticism be not the way.

     

    What bloody poem was that again?

     

    I forget...

     

    I remember...

     

    I forget...

     

    Oh, and listen to 4bsolute, he wize man!

    I don't really do anything.

     

    It just happens.

     

    Well, sometimes I do things after things have happened.

     

    Invoke reverse causation.

     

    But I don't really understand anything.

     

    But doesn't everyone seek redemption?

     

    I do.
