I know! What are those idiots thinking? That the shit bag fairy is going to come along after them and clean up? I'm amazed at how people can be sometimes, like the people take a shower at the exercise club and just walk away and leave the shower running on hot. I can't understand people doing those kinds of things and it's a slap in the face each time.
Interesting, so are you trained in the Native American ways?
No need to be sad about that.
Hey Jumpin' Star Child Wizard!
S.B Fairy??? LMAO, that's to graphic for this imagination, shoot!
Like to give folks the benefit of the doubt and say they don't know better?
Truth is they usually do though, they just aren't thinking.
Unaware. Plain and simple.
If they are aware, they should be knocked in the head.
... Just lightly? ... so they no better? maybe with a bag of shlop!
LOL? Am Not Omaha, not to offend any, can say that!
Um? trained? untrained? hmmm...
Folks ask that daily, LOL, they also want to know what my "accent" is!!!(...I have none.)
Easier to say I Don't Know Shit
and that life has been strange. Training could be argued and debated in many ways!
Life is still strange.
I do agree with you Mak tin si and try to avoid shi_ whenever possible!
Most folks have such seemingly great worries, just trying to get by and all.
To pay the bills, feed the kids, take care of the folks, what-have-ya,
that the mention of dog poo seems nice and light hearted in comparison.
Though You are serious the subject does also bring out folks "bathroom humor".
My own included... but it doesn't take much for this child.
You know with the work you do,
as do most who have a practice of meditation, at least to some extent,
That when doing such a practice one gets much more sensitive to various things.
The senses grow sharper, one gets more aware in many ways.
To be sensitive to the effects of such things is no stranger than feeling the effects of sun or moon light.
Or ones own breath, chi, or anything else.
That one can experience effects for a prolonged period of time isn't strange either.
"Karma" is a prolonged effect. It has a cause and is an effect.
Now this is a way of life for many.
Once certain things happen in life there is no going back, so to say, LOL.
For folks that you meet that haven't gotten all that into stuff though, Mak Tin Si?
What in a persons right mind would make them actually WANT to go down this crazy arssed path???
Why would folks want to end up feeling the effects of stepping in poo?
Granted there are alot of good things but "bad" is equal to it and can really suck pretty bad.
Ignorance is bliss. I do think it's true!
Why would a sane individual want to walk such a path???
Yes, I'm perfectly crazy, I love this crazy path I walk stumble and crawl upon.
So the question is, I guess,
Why would anyone Want to be more sensitive to this stuff???
You all stay well!
Happy New Year too!

The baby ghost's fu cloth was there when he bought it home, then it was released afterward. That was the fu cloth for the owner to use and "control" the baby ghost.
Many cultures have "spirit jars".
To me (this way) it is a very sad and hurtful practice.
Haven't heard of using a live child, though can "see" it happening,
usually there are restrictions of what is followed...
stuff like a first born-stillborn of a mother. Buried then unburied.
Burnt and collected...with Ceremony/prayer/what-all.
Within time frames like before the next sunrise or a certain phase of the moon.
Usually one person has "care" of this child and "raises" them.
provides "food", "clothes", "nourishment", "LOVE"/"parental stuff".
The child is devoted to the parent for better or worse.
Like an abused child still loves their mom or dad.
Often times fear is involved in many ways on many levels.
This is one of those things that has passed into popular culture
that folks don't know the roots of.
Or if they do they would never believe that such a thing can still happen.
Perspectives of right and wrong are easily confused.
Perspectives can change, or be changed easily.
With that there is danger though often not seen till after the fact.
(Fact is not perspective.)
To bind another with or against there will is wrong (to me).
If They are free to choose, and the choice remains free, there is alot of "grey area" .
That "baby ghost" often remains. One person may raise it but when they are gone what happens?
It often changes hands, often falling into hands that don't care.
That are neglectful, "punishing", harmfully disrespectful.
If a child that's been abused and is treated bad suddenly retaliates what happens?
Plaese if any are so inclined, don't get involved with this sort of stuff,
eventually it only leads to harm.
This is a very sad and hurtful practice all around though if you ask me.
And yes. it is real. and practiced still. sorry to speak of it.
Shonton Ga
Sick.
* As said in popular culture there is another name for it? Is it "baby doc" ?
... you see statues, paper cut outs, and stuff in store windows and stuff for good luck?
can't recall the name.

Now ... stepping - actually 'falling' - onto dinosaur's poo ... THAT can be considered bad luck !
YM
Poo! As great a taoist topic as any!
... It's one of my biggest annoyments (if that's a word?! hmm? it's not is it?)
Plastic baggies of doo swinging from tree branches.
Where I live you must pick up after you dog. They even have plastic bag dispensers around the parks and stuff for easy usage? Most folks seem to comply with it? ...But they never seem to dispose of it adequately. They leave these plastic baggies of dung everyplace. Nasty. By the sidwalks, under benches, thrown in the swamps.
Now I can understand? Nothing says sexy like a man swinging a little baggie of poo as he walks along??? But do they have to throw it in the trees!!! GRRRR. Such a crock of Shit. It's biodegradable. Why encase it in plastic??? At least use paper!!! So many more uses for it then, hahahaa,like puttin it on a neighbors door step... lighting it on... ringing the door bell... acquiring a whole lot more bad karma...
LOL. um? By the way... Don't do that! but like I was saying would rather see it get washed away by the rain than swinging from trees. There should be signs "Please handle your shit appropriately!" Don't You think? 
poop ='s bad luck?
... Have 2 older brothers...
When we were all younger they started a "tradition" of sorts? We had 3 BIG dogs...
One boy was thin and scrappy and fast, the other was big and strong and a Marine... and the older brother.
Whenever we would all get together they inevitably would play a game of "Put U! In Poo!".
One of those "boy games" to see who was better and who just plain stank ? LOL, Horrid.
And embarrassing at times? It was usually the scrappy little thing that bested the big brother!
And yes It was always Very Bad Luck for the smelly boy
... They never would try such a thing with there little sis. They knew for sure not only would she fill there pockets and pillow cases but there cars and shoes when they weren't looking! She was a quiet child but was well able to take care of herself
Have fun!
Hey!

Dear YaMu,
No, I haven't, would that help do you think?
Is it a 'suggested' remedy for Restless Legs Syndrome' YaMu?
I'll take a look around the internet about it.
Thanks!
Peace, gossamer
Does help.
Also for some odd reason, sleep on a soft sheet ie. flannel, poler fleece or some such fuzzy material.
Odd but helps. I am a fibro~rat
Didn't read the whole thread but if you need any tricks for stuff am glad to share!

Some people are on this forum a lot.
The balance of TaiChi does not rule out communicating with fellow travellers, but while people are content to spend hours telling others how they should; think, masturbate, worship, understand, eat, drink, feel, maybe they are finding such disharmony in others because of a disharmony in themselves.
A few posts a week, maybe more, maybe less, at no detriment to the time spent in the world outside and on practice.
A person making good practice all week will post fewer, more wise, more useful posts than someone serving an addiction at the detriment of life.
Maybe this observation started in me, well, perhaps, ...but I share it with you.
U Share My addiction ?!?
WhooHoo!
Ok. Agreed.
Even Though this child prefers to post nonsense
Stay well!

My fellow Aussie 'bums I have a question for you.

is there a cardboard Cat in the Microwave Oven ?
Lmfao?

Where Is my cat anyway???

thanks all!
It's how I enter the site, usually.
Otherwise will use the search option.
... or go to the forum and see what others are looking at
None of you bug me, LOL!
Apt to find this all very amusing usually?
Agree that topics get lost,
that I would love to see get shared more,
or more information shared in?
there are a lot of wonderfully intelligent people in here,
What they have to say is easily missed sometimes?
Overlooked, lost before it can get bumped up again.
AhWell.
It's all very organic, aint it?
Stay well!

I love the Hua Hu Ching. I try to read a chapter a day. Excellent little book, lives beside my bed.
Possibly the BEST Taoist book
!!!!Thank you very much for the link
Yes
he said so in the introI am permanently indebted to Master Hua Ching Ni for sharing his version of these teachings... My work is largely based upon his teaching.
Mmmm
Do love this book.
Had it long before any copy of the "Tao Te Ching".
It climbed trees with me
and was fished out of the oceans,
battered and tattered into an unreadable state.
Finely lost to the _ods of the Woods
someplace along the Way.
I've since gotten another copy
and it's been better preserved ... so far?
I love the simplistic artwork in it.
The pictures calm well this frazzled soul!
Do Like this book.
but I also believe that all great works are "ripped off"
or should be!
What better sign of Greatness?
How else could these works live on.
some might like to disagree about that
but they may need to learn to sing folk songs? LOL!
Peace

Yeah man...
Funny thing is I wouldn't be posting here if I followed my own advice. ...such is the nature of duality.
...try not to think about it.
...If ya like psychology they(um?...we all!) can be fun to watch.
Lot's of lessons. All around.
But have seen some good folks chased off by it.
Others who have wisdoms gift
don't waste their time posting because of it.
Intolerance and tolerance easily travel to extremes.
Most of us are pretty good bums?
Easily carried away!
good luck with the cause!

No problem Scotty. Not sure how well the articles will be accepted as most people prefer to believe in their own versions of "Taichi".
Think the hardest bit for people to understand is true yielding and neutralising.
Enjoy your practice.

Had bookmarked this to get a better look at it as time allows.
A very timely post, for this child, liked the opening page and the info on it.
Was working on some stuff to do with sequences(in the body) and alignments and this
gave me some stuff to think about and question in what I was working with, cool.
Have been working on doing a few moves as a loop or a sequence(form)
for about a half hour or so a day but it hadn't been feeling "connected" in some places,
this gave me a different view point to examine.
Will probably have much more to say as I get more time to check the site out better.
Don't know this system at all but the principles are still tai chi it looks like?
Not sure what problems folks would have with it if they are there?
(LOL, Of Coarse, My Style-Teacher-kin-of-shoe-is-better-fluff
always seems to come up with folks but that's just fluff! Not worth squat.
That's not what we learn from usually
so no worries!) have you trained in this style?
Thanks for the link!
... interesting timing.

The fu that is mentioned in this thread is drank by burning into ash and mix with water. This method is uesd for all FU to drink. It is very magical, when you burn it and drink it, it does really do the work inside your body.
People who are highly trained in Taoism is very sensitive, they can control it but sometimes it is always safe to drink a fu to keep them safe from being polluted. They gain all that pure energy from hard training, so nobody want to get dirty in the public. This fu will be a great help. You will never be able to keep your own energy total pure all the time. That is why higher the master go, more restrictions and rules applies. Those who are trianing in the mountains even go on total veggie and they have over 1000 rules to watch out which will ruin their way to immortality.
FU with accupuncture is very cool, we used to draw the fu with sword figner on the needle and pin it in. Or sometimes they will soak the needle with FU water first to empower the needle. Sometiems we also pin the needle first and then use a FU to burn on top to generate special power for healing different illness.
FU is a very magical thing, it is hard to explain like how you can explain mech. of a car. It is too complicated and you need too much knowledge to understand. So my job is only to share the experience, but I really do not have the confidence to explain the work behind in a post or two.
That helps, thank you.
Know other "traditions" that have similar ways but things get confused by words,
so am just trying to get a clearer view.
No matter what language is spoken
things get confused with this sort of stuff very easily, it seems.
i understand that there are many variables involved.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, I appreciate it!
Good night!
... it is 1:30 in the morning already here?
Gotta get off this computer soon!LOL

Hi Shon,
Hmm, maybe you have a different version than I do. I have the version that you linked on Amazon.
This version is VERY in depth about pretty much everything, from the theory, to each herb and food item. It seems to give a good lengthy introduction to all of the concepts.
Of course I agree to study other books as well...but I can't recommend this one enough for someone who is interested in cooking and TCM. It's the best book I've found on the subject.
Same.
heres another link to Half dot com about that to start with.
There is an older version or printing of this book that is beautiful in it's layout.
Very artful. Think the information should be the same for the most part.
Am sure there might be a little reedited and some added but don't really know.
Looked for it just now at half.com and it is there starting at around 4.99.
Have done well with books from there.
As many things as they have in this book ... most things they give a little info on,
Take just one heading from it and they could have written a whole book of equal size ... or ten!
Think about how much history, how much study people have put into these things.
There is so much more to be said than what one person, in one life, could ever compile.
Let alone so many perspectives to draw upon!
LOL, I agree though, it is a good book!
Scott, Are you interested in CM?
There are actually starting to be some good podcasts on itunes out there now?
Some basic intro stuff(foundation that's always good!) as well as some more in depth stuff, too!
... I've seen the older version of this book(tall and skinny book) in a
lot of discount book stores which is always a shock!
Think they must have grossly over printed it or something, It's like treasure!!!
Well worth picking up if you(anyone) see it!
Even if it's just to share with someone else in your life that's into such things,
makes a great gift!
Sweet dreams!
Shon
Mak Tin Si, Will go back and check out your post on taoist medics, afraid I missed it, but
would like to see what you have to say!
Stay well all!
-
If you're interested in how TCM fits in with what you eat, this book has TONS of info. And it's really cheap for how big it is. Highly recommended.
This is one printing of it ~
If you search around for it you can usually find it for around 7 or 8 bucks.
It's a quick reference book. A little information on a lot of stuff.
It the kind of book that gives a good quick introduction to things
so you can then go and research them your self better.
So You Can further look things up in other books or Google them.
With any herbs, or anything, you REALLY want to do further research!!!
Somethings the effects are very much dependent on other factors!
... take an herb wrong and it Will Bite you back, lol!
(or just kill you.)Other factors can be things like how it's prepared, what other herbs it is mixed with,
And all that stuff to do with what's going on "elementally" in the body.
Is a good book, but read others along side it.
...And always consult someone who actually knows about such things!
Thanks for putting it up here Scott!
Think it is an often overlooked book, with some very cool stuff in it!
Like the information on "patent herbs" in there.
Peace!

This is a fu called "BAK MO GUM GEI FU" meaning "Do nothing wrong FU"
This FU is very special. With this FU drank into the body, it is effective for 1/2 a year. During the 1/2 year, the taoist gained safety and also prevent your energy from leaking out or being sucked by other source. In special occasions such as the Chinese New Year, people tends to do alot of things that they are not suppose to do which attracts bad luck. With this FU drank, it will dissolve the negative energy in the taoist automatically. This FU is drank often by taoist who train with high level training. Because their energy is very sensitive, they feel not so good whenever some dirty energy is beside, so this fu also blocks it out. With this FU, the person gain safety, luck and security for the taoist.
Mak Tin Si
Hello Mak Tin Si
How is it drank? Do you mean it's like, or is, an energized water?
Or Something like an image on something/a substance that dissolves into the water?
How is this done?
Do folks find themselves to become more sensitive(or overly sensitive) working with this kind of Fu?
also you mentioned using Fu's in acupuncture in another thread,
don't know which one now though so am asking here?
Am interested to know how a Fu can be used in acupuncture also?
Wondering How this is done?
I know people who use gemstone elixirs on the needles, is it similar?
Or more of a direct energy with out a carrier/substance to transmit the energy?
Or the energy along with needle insertion, or insertion in certain patterns?
Sorry for my lack of understanding Mak, and for all the questions!
Thank you for sharing your information.
Stay well,
Shon
* edit *
I see in some of your other posts the mention of burning the fu,
mixing the ash with water and then drinking it, Is this Fu drank the same way?
Thank you
-
I don't swallow it or chew it off
and it is very good for you I know! just late night foolishness on my part, lol.Could make for a cool new hair style! Would be all the rage!
I always had a suspicion there was a sex related component, personally I felt more along the lines of frustrated sexual energy burning off your hair
Hmm? ... or pulling it out!
I notice none of the smilies have any left?
But what would I know.Sort of intrigued by the FU idea. I've never really been a "talisman" sort of person. Would a FU improve your overall kidney health therefore the hair is just a "side effect." Or would it only be a cosmetic thing?
So, ok, it's agreed then that depleted kidneys may contribute(cause?) hair loss?
So, supporting the kidneys Should help to improve the hair (some kinds of hair,
head included
and so much more like fear stuff, hearing/inner ear stuff,regulating temps. like cold, bone and marrow stuff, instincts and much more!)
So, How do we support the kidneys then?
A few things have been mentioned so far~
*Diet (a big one!)/nutrition
*Water
*Fu's for kidneys
*Worshiping the 5 planets(for their connection to the 5 elements)
*Qi Gong ... any certain ones you like for the kidneys?
I'll throw in rest as in sleep/not stressing/"meditation"in it's simplest form.
What else supports the kidneys?
And there by support hair/head health?
What? How? And Why, if you know? (... like specifics?)
Thanks!
Shon
Sorry if my last note may have been to um? rowdy?
... apologies, was overly late and overly tired.
Hope I didn't really embarrass anyone,
I really Do Try to behave on here!
It's SO hard sometimes though
Ooo? Is will power kidneys too? I forget, but that would be great to better support That!!!

May you be blessed with a kind "owner".
This is a sorry subject.
and tricky stuff.
Hope you are able to find a way to move them on.
temple donation sounds like a good idea, man?
You have half of the collection left, be better to get rid of all at once.
If you get rid of them slowly the last ones could be much harder to part with.
in many ways.
Do as you see fit. You know what to do I imagine?
Take care, stay well,

If you know where they are from, might not be a bad idea to return them to the place of their origin.
Maybe? To their own soil, own "home" ?
Not sure, a lot come into play with such stuff.
