  1. D. Corleone's ring is the shit...
  2. Logic, the prerequisite of all truth

    Don't think she found a lie. She's in the process of understanding truth expressed in a non linear form. If logic was the perequisite of all truth there wouldn't be the necessity of symbols and there is such a necessity as we all dreamers know and it's natural. How about paradoxe? Paradoxe is another natural expression of deeper truths (again can be found in dreams), right daoist bro?
  3. Logic, the prerequisite of all truth

    Is it so ? The seven year old girl asks her father " Daddy do frogs become princes when they are kissed by princesses?" The father replies "They certainly do sweetie!" Truth sometimes is beyond logic
  4. Mair 3:2

    I would call it knowing by sensitivity like Lord Wenhui's cook. Truly amazing, and it seems like it's something achievable like the young man in the above video demonstrates.
  5. Mair 3:2

    This video was posted this week by "rainbowvein" on "what are you watching on youtube". Thought it would be suitable to post it here too.
  6. Hello everyone and one question

    That would make me want to read the damn book
  7. Hello everyone and one question

    I think it would make a great thread too I don't know either divine guidance from my minds whispers but it's important for me that I sincerely ask for it. My experience tells me that it comes in all shapes and forms, many times in amazing synchronistic ways. It came to my mind a wise thought from the TTC that I can't locate right now but it goes something like this _ the wise man let's people reach their conclusions as if they got there by themselves _ please everyone forgive me for somehow daring to misquote Lao-Tzu.
  8. Hello everyone and one question

    Asking for Divine guidance is also very important. I'm afraid male baldness comes with the territory, just take a look at the simbology of the "sacred bald man" (buddhist, egyptian etc.) Best wishes
  9. Staff addition and update

    Thank you so much, dao bums moderating team
  10. Mair 3:6

    Can he be talking about ru xiang (frankincense) and mo yao (myrrh), channel openers ?
  11. How to prepare for imminent death?

    The Katha Upanishad is another one of my favourites... having death as our personal guru. http://veda.wikidot.com/katha-upanishad-eknath
  12. How to prepare for imminent death?

    "The Tibetan book of living and dying" by Sogyal Rinpoche and the "Essays" by Michel de Montaigne "To practice death is to practice freedom. A man who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave.” ― Michel de Montaigne
  13. Can't sign out

    I do the same (keep signing out) untill it works. I actually feel guilty afterwards for trying that hard. Pretty sure Lao Tzu wouldn't forgive me, which is great
  14. Eczema in terms of energy and healing?

    Since it is a skin problem I would definately try a product containing myrrh. There are creams, oils, tincture, soap etc. I enjoy preparing frankincense and myrrh oils and tinctures myself since these products aren't cheap.

  15. Research of Martial Arts by Jonathan Bluestein

    Check this interview, it may give you some ideas. http://internalfightingarts.audello.com/internal-fighting-arts-14-jonathan-bluestein/

    Great team work. Really enjoying it
  17. Thanks Taomeow! Sometimes we just need some validation of our own thoughts to start acting (sleeping) the right way. The hardest things to realize are the most evident, I guess. We are really living a crazy culture that makes it almost impossible to be and feel healthy.
  18. Tai chi friends

    Great lineage, lucky you. Which were the 13 forms you were talking about?
  19. Tai chi friends

    Hi thelerner, I'm dedicating much of my time in findind good sources on tai chi. So much amazing stuff... Anyway as I had to choose I've started learning the 24 yang and the chen 27. Starting the day with pyjamas tai chi seems like a very good idea Not much "tai chi in the park" where I live though (Portugal). What really inspires me is reading about the disciplined daily practices of people in this forum. Feeling really grateful for those. Hope you're having good results with the wim hof method. Thanks.
