So you've been a Daoist since 1992! and you are still bragging about yourself, being initiated and not wearing the damn robe ... makes me wonder what is your "right idea" about Daoism maybe you could clarify it for "us all " a little bit.

This was filmed by the romanian mountain climbers. http://www.guba.com/watch/3000020797 When are these criminal comunist bastards going to stop the genocide ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so let me make sure I get this right: so..... Jesus Christ was just a mushroom ?

Yes it's called the "bitch slap" and has been around in the taoists circles since Bodhidarma jumped the border and imigrated to China. Scotty, you shouldn't give up so easy - keep slaping yourself and I'm sure you'll get it.

Keep your money you don't need to buy the DVD the method is very simple - it just requires a lot of dedication and effort though. And if you are not blind probably you won't have enough motivation anyway. The guy didn't invent this either. It's been around for a long time and with good results. It's just I've never seen it to this level where they can actually "see" the details like words in a book. A few years ago a PT teacher decided to do some experiments with some kids at the elementary school. They would learn how to orient themselves in a dark room full of different object where they couldn't see anything, but after a few weeks of training they could "feel" the objects that were layed around the room... Well it looks like they can do a lot more now .... Russians have quite a few different methods like that for developing parapsychological abilies with great results and aplicability they take this things very seriously and some of them are used in the military that's why the extended research.

Your ignorance is actually more than laughable. The first guy in the video is blind and has been blind his entire life - look at his eyes in the video, - he learned to see now - I don't know if you are able to understand the difference it made in his life. They have an entire institute that is behind this phenomen studying it already for a few years. Also they are discussing a few different aspects, not just seeing with your eyes closed. They are talking about a different kind of waves and they have a physicist that completely doubted the whole thing from the beginning - he said he wouldn't believe anything in this life until he sees it and tests it. Now he says that he cannot doubt that it's not a trick and that it is a different kind of wave that is not of a magnetic nature or accustic but something else. Somehow the brain is actually able to tune into it after their training. They are saying that while the open eyes receive the stimulus and is getting transmitted to the back side of the brain. When they are wearing the masks the front part of the brain gets stimulated. The kids are the fastest to learn and a girl can actually read entire texts like that. Also they are not trying to make it popular but they are studying it and a few scientists who realised it's potential are actually scared of it's possibilities.... This stuff is so cool I don't even care if you guys believe it or not lol

By abilities I mean smth extraordinary that can be developed through Qigong. The fact that Michael Winn has a wonderfull personality is indeed a good thing - it's just I wouldn't go to see qigong master for that - these are attributes that I expect from people like Mother Theresa and such. I am just very curious about real abilities like Vajrasatva mentioned - he said that one master that he heard of can fry eggs on his head - now that would be smth ..... And that's all I am curious about - it's kinda annoying when I ask a question about abilities and the replies are about how to be compasionate and the true meaning of life and how a certain teacher is very kind to his students bla bla bla. It's apples and oranges to me... I just wanna get zapped by smb's chi or smth also I am not convinced at all that "being special" like you said is necessarily a good thing - sounds to me more like that "no child left behind " crap that Dubya is selling

hey dragon - what kind of practice are you following if you don't mind sharing ? Thx, V/R, Orb

And I guess this is it's application - http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=LtlCwk4z-TI&feature=user

I think I like Li Jiong better ...

sounds a lot like Santa

Hey dog, has Michael Winn ever displayed any abilities besides the smile? Thank you.

Hey Stig, I am convinced that it can work and be very usefull to everybody. A lot of people on this forum are very active in a lot of topics and contribute with facts and answers to a lot of questions after years of membership and that proves their devotion to these practices and ideas. So I don't really understand why some people oppose your idea when to me it looks like just another dimension of this forum's community of something that we already have here only in a different form.

Why not making it in more then one place. Let's say first start in US and let the americans host it then a sequel in Australia and people in Australia arrange for everything and so on ... kinda like the olimpic games ....

It's too late for that, the damage has been done, we could send McCain though...

Hi, I don't really know what all this means.... Is this Wang Liping and or Jiang's teaching theory ? Who wrote this thing and when could you please clarify ? Thank you. V/R, Orb

LOL, that's awesome........

Actually he totally answered your question and even more, but maybe u r not ready to receive yet ........

ZE GERMANZ !

Hey Mark if you look up there are a lot of people on this forum that actually teach a lot of good stuff. So you could arange smth with one of them that fits your orientation. I would suggest you PM them individually and then you could go and visit for a few day and learn smth that will keep you busy for a year and then go back get tested etc. Take care Orb

....So clearly two opposite branches are forming like the republicans and the democrats of the Dao. One branch chasing abilities - and the second branch chasing awakening! And both sides are firmly convinced that the other party is wrong. Any independents ?

Hey Brian are you high?

I was thinking that maybe we should have a section on the forum for " the taobums consumer reports" only were all these bogus products as well as practices (or masters) would be listed in one organized place so that people don't waste their time and money with fake, useless pseudo-spiritual phenomena...

Video on how to meditate..... ZE LINK
