    1. A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore. 2. We made too many wrong mistakes. 3. Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken. 4. You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six. 5. I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four. 6. Never answer an anonymous letter. 7. How can you think and hit at the same time? 8. The future ain’t what it used to be. 9. I tell the kids, somebody’s gotta win, somebody’s gotta lose. Just don’t fight about it. Just try to get better. 10. It gets late early out here. 11. You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there. -----Yogi Berra
  2. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    Evil, mean, morbid and sarcastic jokes, quite tasteless and lacking class. Enjoy! You know you're ugly when you get handed the camera every time they make a group photo. You can't say that Hitler was bad through and through. He did kill Hitler, after all. A priest asks the convicted murderer at the electric chair, "Do you have any last requests?" "Yes, replys the murderer. "Can you please hold my hand?"

    Putting one large religion over another is a lot like whacking off. It is isolating and the only person that is getting any real return on it, is the wang manipulator themselves.
  4. Energy Vortex

    Thank you very much! I am definitely a newbie in this. I have very little real knowledge. I have been experiencing very strong energy fluctuations all my life but, most of it was when I was a different person and I tended to just shrug it off. Now, I seem to be more sensitive or just aware of certain things. I became very creative, with feelings of energy up my legs in Port Townsend, Washington. After researching it, it turns out that the number of artists and Taichi practitioners there per capita is off the charts. It is considered by many to have several different types of vortices in the area. In another area in Washington, the calmness was the most noticeable instant tranquilizer I have ever experienced. I moved several hundred feet, it was gone. I went back and it was still there, I don't know anything but, all of a sudden my urge to explore it is growing ( I find this amusing, since as an old man I generally have been slowing down). It is not the same thing but, a little while back I could not go into an area of a building because it was so repulsive. After some research it turns out that a man had been arrested for doing sadistic experiments on animals for years in that area. I am much more perceptive of peoples' characters now. Anyway, it is all coming together, in a way now, and I have no idea where it is going; hence this thread. I am trying to draw people out here to help increase my learning curve.
  5. Energy Vortex

    Very cool, much to ponder here!
  6. Energy Vortex

    I am going to start exploring more. I ran into two energy funnels so far here in Washington and the effects were very noticeable. One seemed very Yang (energizing) and the other one seemed very Yin (relaxing). Have you ever ran across any experts or good books on the subject?
  7. Energy Vortex

    I agree, have you got any favorite ones?
  8. Energy Vortex

    come on! Are there any ley line experts out there?
  9. Why gendao is worth having on this forum

    Anyone who may be more advanced may not care what you think. You make so many blanket assertions. There are many people here that do not believe in immortals and most, if not all of the stuff you are railing against. The position you are taking, is one, most of us have heard over a hundred times before. It is invariably a rant by someone who is relatively new to TDB. When you stop knowing so much, you will know so much more.
  10. Why gendao is worth having on this forum

    No, I freely admit that I do not know the answer to any of those assertions you made above. Again, my question is how do you know?
  11. Why gendao is worth having on this forum

    How do you know?
  12. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    “There is darkness inside all of us, though mine is more dangerous than most. Still, we all have it—that part of our soul that is irreparably damaged by the very trials and tribulations of life. We are what we are because of it, or perhaps in spite of it. Some use it as a shield to hide behind, others as an excuse to do unconscionable things. But, truly, the darkness is simply a piece of the whole, neither good nor evil unless you make it so. It took a witch, a war, and a voodoo queen to teach me that.” ― Jenna Maclaine
  13. Daoist associations?

    Your reply came seconds after my re-edit. I am being bad, I am going to put myself in the corner for a moment ot two.
  14. Daoist associations?

    Sounds like a bunch of wankers.

    Yeah, I know! After 34 yrs here, with the same woman A close well-balanced relationship is one of the great beauties in life!

    More nuanced than that, but I think you are mostly right. Ever feel like one of the few adults in the room?
  17. What are you listening to?

    All of pop and rock and roll owe a great deal to Charlie Christain. --John Lennon had a Charlie Christian pickup fitted on his Les Paul in tribute to him.

    Your message is a very important one that all should be aware of. The problem is that when it is constantly brought up, especially in other peoples threads, you devalue the message and instead of it getting its' due, people tune it out or even discredit it. Then when you jump to other people's bait and turn it into a he said, he said, you devalue your very important message even further. This puts you into the position of being an antagonist to your own message. I do not want to see that for you or your message. Re-analyze yourself and your strategies if you truly are an advocate of your beliefs and not a troll.

    Cats and owls seem soooo alike!

    Damn! I just listened to this for the 3rd time in two days! I have always loved Nina Simone! She should be in every music hall of fame on Earth!
  22. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    In surgery for a heart attack, a middle-aged woman has a vision of God by her bedside. “Will I die?” she asks. God says, “No. You have 30 more years to live.” With 30 years to look forward to, she decides to make the best of it. So since she’s in the hospital, she gets breast implants, liposuction, a tummy tuck, hair transplants, and collagen injections in her lips. She looks great! The day she’s discharged, she exits the hospital with a swagger, crosses the street, and is immediately hit by an ambulance and killed. Up in heaven, she sees God. “You said I had 30 more years to live,” she complains. “That’s true,” says God. “So what happened?” she asks. God shrugs, “I didn’t recognize you

    We don’t serve time travelers here,” said the bartender. A time traveler walks into a bar. A man walks past a fridge and thinks he can hear onions singing Bee Gee’s songs but on opening the fridge he discovered it was only the chives talkin’ What’s the difference between ignorance and apathy? Don’t know, don’t care. All those who believe in psychokinesis… raise my hand.
  24. Zhuan Falun (Turning The Law Wheel)

    Can you direct me to where the main body has disavowed the obvious racist, bigoted quotes above that, as you say, " are from lectures in the mid 90s to small audiences in the US on a number of niche areas".
