  1. How do you explain Daoism?

    living in harmony with the universe is taoism
  2. Is this a good section to begin in? So I experienced the actions of ordering the secret of the golden flower and am wondering which method it is: the fire or the water.
  3. if you believe in it, it will exist or else nothing really exist?

    It is not personal. In my opinion, you are bending the text. I once spoke to Mormon missionaries when I was Christian and they always bent every word in the Bible to fit what they believe. Bible: "There is no God but me; I no no other" Mormons: "That doesn't mean there aren't other Gods!!! Maybe ours is just stupid" Bible: "I and my father are one" Mormons: "He meant that he has a good relationship with his father" I'm paraphrasing a bit, but you see what I mean. I take the Tao Te Ching literally.
  4. Theosis: Becoming Like God

    exaltation
  5. if you believe in it, it will exist or else nothing really exist?

    Seriously? Do you not believe in the Tao? The Tao that gives birth to infinite worlds according to the tao te ching? No no no, gods are not obvious but God as in LIFE. When I hear someone say there is no God, I hear "there is not life force; we are all just zombies". How can this be, for if it were there would be nothing? If there is nothing, than what is it perceiving the illusion? That is God.

    "THAT WHICH IS SO OBVIOUS IS FALSE BECAUSE I WANT TO SOUND SPECIAL" -EVERY ATHEIST
  7. if you believe in it, it will exist or else nothing really exist?

    Oh yes yes.......the universe is in this case a desolate place with no life. Every piece of matter has no inherent existence. What a sad scene!! Oh wait!! it cannot be sad because no life exists even though you are perceiving now. No life exists to call it sad!! We are all automatons!! Woo woo, let's party like theres no tomorrow!! Oh wait, there is no life to party!!! You've put your foot down, so now you live in an utter paradox!!! There can't possibly be life, could there? Oh no, that would make you sound religious. We wouldn't want that.
  8. if you believe in it, it will exist or else nothing really exist?

    You are a closed minded fool. Why is there no God? Because you want to be special and you are stubborn!! You have put our foot down, so you cannot possible exist!! Nothing is aware of reading this!! Woo woo, let's dance around and say there is no God for no reason!!
  9. if you believe in it, it will exist or else nothing really exist?

    YOU are omnipresent and omnipotent. YOU can learn anything. You need nothing. What? After that you are making stuff up. We are all eyes of God. We are his eyes. Have you not read any of Lobsang Rampa's books??? Okay, I don't know what you mean by the word "god". I mean what all religious texts mean.
  10. if you believe in it, it will exist or else nothing really exist?

    Yes, perhaps your right. It may have a discriminatory mind.
  11. if you believe in it, it will exist or else nothing really exist?

    No, you closed minded fool!!! The entire universe is a voluntary motion of the Tao!! You are God!!!
  12. Life After Death? Life After Life?

    We will all find out what happens when we die(cross legged)
  13. if you believe in it, it will exist or else nothing really exist?

    We have found a living rock. I was with my mom and we saw some crabs at this nature site that constantly waved their hands back and forth to attract mates. Were the crabs conscious of this? No. The sun consumes and exhumes. Galaxies reproduce. The whole universe is a moving living thing.
  14. if you believe in it, it will exist or else nothing really exist?

    Of-course it is!!! I thought everyone here astral projected
  15. Starting qigong...again

    Bravo!!
  16. Discussing Reincarnation

    Oh okay. As long as it is a friendly conversation. So Alan Watts seemed to believe, based on his recordings, that reincarnation is an illusion. You become the universe in all her glory. Of-course, another version of you aught to appear in the universe again eventually. That person would think they were you, and remember being you at a very young age. Before then, they would remember being the universe and descending from bliss out of curiosity. This is why many small children say "that's me!!" when shown multiple pictures of different people like them. it is also why older people have difficulty remembering childhood, you only remember being you. However, maybe we really do drift around forever in an everlasting adventure. Who knows. There's really one one way to find out.
  17. if you believe in it, it will exist or else nothing really exist?

    In the Second Book Of The Tao by Stephen Mitchell, it says "The universe was created the day I was born". I personally interpret this as "my view of the random squirming of energy did not exist before I was born". With this ideology, all people before you were born were robots because they only flowed as a pattern in the universal energy. Whether it is deeper than that I know not.
  18. What name did we gave the type of samadhi...

    I really don't know, but maybe it's Mo Pai
  19. Questions about the Neidan firing process

    Sorry, it's just that I'm abstract. I mean, do you know where the chi comes from?
  20. Questions about the Neidan firing process

    Okay. Is this Jing/chi/Shen energy your individual self? Are you just expanding yourself?
  21. Questions about the Neidan firing process

    What do you mean by "transmute"? I thought the goal in all of this was liberation
  22. 100th

    Step two(following practice): We let the mind follow the entry and exit of the breath. Allow the mind to follow the breath and the breath to follow the mind, closely linked to each-other. Step two(following fulfilment): Once it "feels like you could breath simply through your skin", and your breath is very gentle, allow the mind to be placid and still. (there are four more steps, jsyk)
