    If you have a point you wish to argue with me, my simple answer is: you're right, I'm wrong. Have a good life.

  2. Dao Bums (here i am)

    I saw this thread a while ago and I am posting here in the forum one last time to say goodbye because I am done discussing, arguing, and being taken advantage of by people who have sought me out to learn only to demonstrate undesirable behavior (e.g. lying about what they could afford and cheating me because I'm "unknown"--just like many hidden masters in the East; or arguing about another teacher or video they saw instead of following the process. Yes: I don't come here or publicly discuss cultivation anymore because it is no longer my thing. But: I did make some friends here and can say that just under 7 years of being here did contribute to some of my own learning. So this is goodbye with a video of me doing fajin and another video of me rooting on my YouTube channel, which is not martial or cultivation focused, but highlights parts of me. I am also linking to my ko-fi page to show that I am doing art--visual, musical, and literary art, alongside my vlogging. I'm not re-enabling my inbox here to be contacted by anyone, but if you really want to get a hold of me, you can do so through ko-fi or YouTube. I accept there will be trolls and people mischaracterizing me or calling me all sorts of insults (including one member whom I thought was a friend who somehow keeps creating new dummy accounts all the time). But at this point in time, I'm at peace with being me, and whatever you feel is your responsibility, not mine. I'm only in charge of what I say, do, feel, and think, and that's already a huge task for anyone to manage. Here's my ko-fi page too: https://ko-fi.com/waterpoint. If you want to commission short fiction, poetry, an illustration, or even a session for Akashic/psychic/cultivaton stuff, drop me a line. I'm currently on pilgrimage in nature in the Philippines, supported entirely by donations since December, and hope to raise a little more (to the tune of $400 or more) to make it to the final mountains in April through May. And to all admins and people I've had conflicts with before, I apologize for any hurt or harm I have caused both deliberately or unknowingly, and I leave you with peace and love in my heart. Don't quote or reply to this post--I am logging out forever unless admin demands to talk with me for one reason or another. Peace to all of you, and farewell.
  3. Hey everyone, if you attended the seminar, what did you think? Post your thoughts here!
  4. Taking another breakā€”donā€™t PM me; messenger disabled. Donā€™t @ me, I wonā€™t reply.

  5. Authentic golden body

    There is no golden body, itā€™s an exaggeration from a mistranslation. Anybody claiming to teach it is a huckster. The OP has publicly made disingenuous and dishonest posts pretending that his demanding and disrespectful PMs to various people never happened. Also, he has been extremely hostile towards the few who offered help to him out of generosity, which he also pretends never happened. Anyone who insults yet demands help for free in the same message is not a newbie, and deserves neither guidance nor coddling, no matter how well one appears to be a victim to those who know no context.
  6. How to make own qigong set ?

    Unless youā€™re a master with understanding of qi and TCM, making up your own qigong set is only going to either waste your time and achieve nothing, or harm you. Let the people who make up their own qigong sets from watching YouTube be your evidence by looking at what lack of development they have, no matter how New Age they may appear.
  7. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Please create a separate thread about purchasing a Kuan Yin statue so people can focus on Flying Phoenix.
  8. Look at the students of anyone claiming to be a teacher and judge by the fruits of their teachings.
  9. I am Sorry

    Whoever you were then, that's not who you are now. Welcome.
  10. Temporarily deactivate account not delete

    A late message, but just posting to say thank you to the mods for granting my request to restrict my access here for my voluntary exile. The clarity and peace of mind after working on several life projects has been immensely helpful.
  11. Hi admin, I was wondering if deactivating an account is possible, similar to a suspension, but more voluntary, rather than deleting or banning. I'm asking because while I am at least enjoying some private message exchange from people, I need to keep offline for a while. You might say just to disable notifications and not log in, but I need this to be a two-way thing because I don't want to be rude for anyone trying to contact me and me being unable to respond such as when I came back from a suspension before and saw a flooded inbox from others. I'm thinking of deactivating my account for 6-12 months and returning when I'm in a better state to participate.
  12. Golden core

    No. Good luck.
  13. Golden core

    If your goal is to learn, find a teacher. If your goal is to discuss, prepare for many contradictory answers from different people here.
  14. Heat in UDT

    Look at Osho's students and see their development. Look at Osho's crimes and see if you want him as a model to follow. Look at people teaching from Osho's drivel and see how their development is. This is all you need to know about if you're seeking to develop the third eye from what you've read in Osho's work.
  15. Ah, I can't buy powdered collagen easily here, and so I just throw an entire chicken, bones and all, plus any other chicken bones, into an instant pot to pressure cook for three hours with a pinch of salt and tbsp of apple cider vinegar. The gelatin and collagen that comes out is still pretty good. Drink it in the morning when you wake up and after dinner--you'll quickly find your health improve.
  16. I make mostly chicken bone broth for both me and my dogs. Good for gut health and metabolism too. The best thing besides helping my joints is that my dogs farting donā€™t stink up the room anymore.
  17. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    You'll have to ask him as he had temporarily made them available digitally very briefly, but then decided upon consultation of the I-Ching that it was not in his best interests...so he stuck with DVDs for now.
  18. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    No. There was an announcement a while back that the series will not be available digitally as decided by Sifu Terry. This video is not the DVD. It's just a demonstration of the long form, and does not include the breath control sequence.
  19. Temporarily deactivate account not delete

    Hi admin, Please deactivate my account from the time of posting this message until at least March 15, with the option to extend as requested. I was originally going to ask to have this until November, but I will see how things are by March. Need a break to handle some important things. Anyone who needs to get ahold of me can go to AG (also taking a pause, but keeping account active for emergencies) or contact the user pak_satrio. Any FP-related stuff, I trust him to answer questions in my absence or tell me if it's really important. Happy holidays.
  20. Mo pai 72 levels

    Replace "Mo Pai" with "India", levels with "languages" and "Daoist traditions" with "Asian people". This is the same strange reasoning. Stick to your own practice and avoid Mo Pai (not India, actual Mo Pai).
  21. How to project qi from the hands

    Learn from a qualified teacher.
  22. How to project qi from the hands

    Wrong No wonder.
  23. Nothing helpful, nothing worth the price being asked.
