  1. The dangers of celibacy

    Hey now? Every "religion" has a left and right(for and against "sex" )hand path. Research if ya like! And Taoists fallow many cool paths! Dr. Love? Are you male or female or another? I personally don't know of actual dangers with "C" but know there are things "M" can help with. So sorry men but one thing for Women, if they are late getting there period or having trouble regulating their cycle, They say to "M". Helps for many folks. Is there a Need? LOL! One knows themselves well enough past the age of (???) to know if there is a need! Ok. That's all. I'mmouttathisconversationnow!!! *BLUSH**BLUSH**BLUSH**BLUSH* Bye! S
  2. Jewels in the ashes of masters, adepts, saints etc.

    cool, Taomeow, thanks. Had heard of that. With others, too. sometimes the "stones" that come out are black(some folks say they are implants. Who am i to say?), sometimes foggy-clear, or clear. Real? Don't know ... it is interesting. If you've played with some energy stuff, if you've played with some elemental stuff, there isn't that much strange about it, U've seen how things can heat up inside, right? hmm? Even when playing with things that aren't nessacerily "hot" per se, can still see how things crystalize at times? can it happen? don't know. Have seen rocks inside fish and birds but they swallowed them. Kind of. The stones you mentioned are Herkimer Diamonds. My favorite! They come from Herkimer county New York but can be found all over the world! I've one sitting in front of me from Arizona(Prescote, Az?). They come from Tibet. New York (not just herkimer), Ct., China, and the ones from Pakistan look/feel exactly like the N.Y. ones!?! Have heard of them from Switzerland and Ireland, but haven't seen them.Herk's, being quartz, could be swallowed better than real diamonds, not As apt to cut one to shreds inside the same way. (but DON'Ttry it!!!) I found a name for stones made from "loved" ones There are other names, this was just the first site i found. Enjoy! Funny as heck if your as warped as me, made for great conversation at work today! Thanks! This site refers to them asPhoenix Diamonds ! Like the name. LOL. Gives one a whole new prospective on gettin' "stoned" ! LOL.
  3. Jewels in the ashes of masters, adepts, saints etc.

    Actually... I'd have to agree. afraid i know to much about somethings i'd rather not. There is actually a big business in melting down your loved ones. Sorry, don't know a nicer way to put that! LOL Now you to can ware uncle john on your finger! Sorry again. bad taste probably. The lightning theory isn't to far off actually. Good call. Lightning glass is called fulgurite. It's made by lightning hitting sand and malting it together. It's the silica that fuses together. We are also made up of high silica. (quartz) but the elements involved are different. Instead of fire from the skys the fire is helped along by man. If you were to take volcanic ash melt it down you get obsidian. if you take the ashes of us and melt them down you get the same sort of stuff. Closer to obsidian than fulgurites. If I wasn't on my lunch break I'd go into much more gory details for you all! ... You can ware yer whole family on your hand! This is my uncle john, this is aunt Clara and my cat spookie... Have fun kids! Peace Shon
  4. A QUICK TAOIST TOOL FOR THE MIND.

    Do love this. Have shared it with many. They do smile. Been great for some children in my life that hard times have been overly friendly with lately. Thanks for sharing that Sifu Wolf. Hope Your well! Shonton Ga If you ever come back to this ruckus board would be interested in hearing more. Thanks again.
  5. Hahaha! ? See I was thinking Shim,Shim,Sheree! but was trying to be SERIOUS. Hard thing fer me!
  6. hair regrowth

    LOL, interested in all! More the grey that catches in the sun that aggravates me! But still ... be good to know! Have folks that ask me for rocks for that ... and oddly an elixir out of brass and/or different opals is used by some... never heard any long term results from anyone though! Who knows? Focusing on strengthening kidneys makes more sense to me "Drawing the Moon for a bit of spot waistline reduction" This sounds much more enjoyable than crunches? What's it? You know of a description someplace? Stay well! Shon
  7. hair regrowth

    Have read about the taoist salt but what is cirrin ? is there other spelling? sounds familiar but from khmer/cambodian, not chinese. Thanks, Shon
  8. That is interesting, Witch. Have had folks mention that happening from doing self massage. One person only in the morning shower, it didn't take much for it to have the effect on her. Have heard of people becoming wet nurses when they didn't have children of their own. They would use herbs and massage to promote the flow? Hadn't heard of that from omegas or fish oils though, till now? Was thinking/expecting it to be used more topical, like almond oil:) wouln't want to do that with fishy stuff!!! Nice that the author had a chance to reply to it also down below the main part. Is there other stuff in the diet that could do that? Stay well, Shon
  9. How to open Heart Chakra?

    See? You got it. Soft.
  10. How to open Heart Chakra?

    Open Heart Surgery. carefully now, with yer intentions kids! Peace! Shon Oh? I guess ... also when those feelings of "love" are felt watch them, allow them. Don't shut them down or get distracted by something else, like is so easy to have happen. If one does this slowly over time you'll notice that those feelings, that state, lasts just a little longer each time. It's one of those practice things. Of course, it's one of them "We want it all, and we want it now!" kinda things but when we are fully aware over a prolonged time and the learning is gradual, The learning is real. and becomes experienced knowledge. ... Open heart surgery is faster though!
  11. Little miracles around us

    Full body chills thank you Smile *bow*
  12. What makes you a true Taoist?

    LOL, I? am? Or wu? Or N O T H I N G . It's funny to me cuz most folks i know that would be called taoist could care less what you call them! ...I still lovingly have lots of names for them still and all. but that is another rant! See ya! Shon Yur right, Darain! Good day for a Rant!!! Have fun!
  13. Ordering Some Books, any Reccomendations?

    SINNER!!! Worst sacrilege!!! *gasp* Throw away a book ??? ya'd think they grew on trees er somthin'. at least pass em on to those "less enlightened", gosh. ...there's so many uses for an unwanted book. any way. Tottaly agree about the sitting part! "tradition" of sitting doesn't matter! As long as it's a tradition living through u! (Ie. not stagnant) Peace kids! Shon
  14. Ordering Some Books, any Reccomendations?

    Like Vajrasattva's reply. Haven't heard of three but the look interesting? Yoga of time travel and Quantum Lotus peaked my curiosity. Will check them out, thanks! As for the tai chi one (Essence of Tai Chi) It's pretty good. You may as well just get his book on "classics" though. That's where the info for this one comes from. There is just less in it. Not bad but... Still and all. Enjoy! Have fun with your books! Shon Luv Books!
  15. BIGFOOT FOUND?

    I say ... ? but i sell wooly mammoth hair . DNA would be interesting. may look similar ? If they harmed one (killed one) there will be folks wanting to get them on man slaughter charges. No question of the reality of them to many people. Many consider them a shy folk. Will make for some strange conversations in some circles i frequent(or walk the edges of! ... kinda like ba gua!) To me weather or not things exist??? LOL! I've seen and experienced so much weird shistuff that no one would believe! Who am i to say? I've not yet met one though maybe some distant cuz's? ...i might even be one!?! PEACE! Shon
  16. Name change

    Truth is elusive
  17. What are your delusions?

    Double! Beautiful!
  18. What are your delusions?

    If yesterday was a rainbowish day, Today is a foxy day! I went to see the sun come upbut it had other plans? So decided to try and find some breakfast. No breakfast was found but had a pretty little fox dance beside my truck for a moment! Skinniest little fox I'd ever seen! red and long legs! Must have been a young one? Good luck with the booze thing , Pat. Proud of ya for steppin' out of the bottle. Might be interesting to watch your emotions, If it's been a steady state? Can be like relearning it all again in some ways. Like a foot waking up, can be almost a bit painful. But worth it in the long run, i think. Nice to feel the grass between your toes! Not so bad. Your idea of walking the gardens every day sounds perfect. A good way to connect with life. peace to all. Shon
  19. What are your delusions?

    LOL! Great post. That i actually need sleep! don't see sleep on there? am very attached to it but don't do it. Going to look for some sunrise, maybe do some standing, "swallow" some sun, get some energy to try and make it through the day. Good luck to all! shon
  20. does anyone hear voices in their head?

    hi. just because ones slept doesn't mean they can't still be tired! Some hear voices when they are sleeping, some when they are waking, or falling into sleep and "between the worlds", others when they are awake. not many will admit to it. some don't realize it. others don't care. could be a persons higher self? some say guides or angles. others say voices of temptation or inspiration. psyche students are intrigued, inventors informed, at times the tired or confused might be mislead? You know yourself well. remember that. Listen to your "heart". Lol, I was given advice once from my dad and I guess it could be used with voices also? LOL. I was young, had a hard decision to make concerning loved ones hearts. No matter what there would be sadness. He told me to "listen to everyone. See what they all have to say. Then do what is right for you." A person usually knows that already, u know? If voices are telling you things you know to be wrong don't listen. If they are becoming trouble seek help. If it's not trouble? Enjoy it! How nice to have a voice be a loved one. In lots of traditions voices are rather normal. Sometimes even sought out in certain ways. Becoming more sensitive to the world around you can make them clearer. Meditation or journeying or playing with energy or awareness can help folks to be more sensitive. Hope U find comfort and calmness in these words. Seems most folks I know hear voices in some form or another! ... They also cary rocks in their pockets though! Doesn't sound like a cause for worry? Hope you have fun! (Sometimes even going through "hell" can prove interesting! One can learn a lot. Be intimate with it! Enjoy it!) Peace, kids! Shon PS. LOL! My dad doesn't really talk! He probably only said three words, but hey, that's what I got from them! He's so cute in his quiet way. Hard to have a conversation with at times but funny as heck and pretty wise. Stay well! Also brains do play tricks when tired.
  21. Ajna chakra

    Beautiful. Thanks for sharing them.
  22. Olympic Games in Beijing 2008

    Hahaha! Holy cow!!! Incredible! Loved the beginning! Missed after they started to bring in the individual countrys... had to go practice! What I saw was mind blowing! Just the coordination alone! Wasn't really even so interested in seeing it, put it on for the kids(nieces) to make them watch. Something about it being drummed into my head that "it's history in the making" Figured they had to suffer through it just as I did as a child! I AM A FOOL! YES. Love it! Hope you all enjoyed It as much! Stay well! Shon
