  1. I'm cheating a bit but all of the above happens if you go diving. Pressure differentials and disolved gasses.

    No popping though, just excruciating pain if you do it wrong i.e. the bends :(

     

    The gas theory just seems to be the most common.

     

    The only gass relive is the gass coming out of your arse. Not out of your joints nor is it a form of chi.


  2. The topic that you describe goes hand in hand with the interactionalists point of view in psychology and sociology. John Lockes theory of Tabula Rasa certainly influenced this "perspective" as well, stating that the environment creates the subject to a point. You know nature/nurture. Any way, all of our experiences are perceived in the meter of memory, so we constantly cast self centered shadows upon this idea, this object, this particular situation, never leaving room for objectivity. I've found the center of the universe! It is where I sit, but also where I sit, it is not a space of truth because I am still coloring the room with preconceived notions of being. So, my question to you is where can I unlearn. Where is it that I can start? How can I forego these self-constructed obstacles?

     

    First you must be ready to learn before you are ready to unlearn. Like learning the perception of a centre creates a false sense of consciousness therefore affecting your awareness.

     

    The self centred nature of human life makes it so easily ready for the guest to colour in the room but the truth is still there right between the eyes.

     

     

     

     

    Alright, I'll say it. If you've ever been with a woman in labor, she is in tortuous pain, acting like this is being done to her against her will (it sort of is, the birth will happen whether she likes it or not). So maybe the perception is correct?

     

    What about the notion that there is no objective reality? It all comes down to perceived consensus. Think about that.

     

    Missing the point can be a tough exercise bagaag, you must work a little bit harder.


  3. Hello:

     

    I ask myself and you how can I achieve the "Reaching death in life while still living. Freely to move in and out of the skin bag the soul is enlighten the immortal spirit has leaped out." part. Is it really possible?, or you are just talking about images? If not, your words go, as far as I know (I know little), beyond taoism...

     

    Juan

     

    Well hello Juan.

     

    Reaching death in life while still living can be a every hard thing to achieve in the program of this current age. Basically you must be able to galvanize the awareness in your conscious life first so you can set out the restoration process.


  4. Well jewels naturally the function of perception is only limited by our psychological conditioning in tailed by the

    organism. It is our thoughts, opinions, beliefs and ideas that destroy the true sense of perceiving the truth and

    real knowledge prevailing throughout the cosmos, hence Tao Wu Shin.


  5. Ahh So.

    Thus is the caterpillar a Taoist.

    Performing its minor miracles daily.

    Eating when hungry,

    Sleeping when tired.

     

    Verrily, See now the caterpillar...

    But I must say, Z3N, that the language is enough to send a devotee of Confucius running home to their master.

     

    Oh goody good! can you tell the master to give him a slap for me. Eating when hungry, sleeping when tried, without a single thing on your mind, neither delusion or enlightenment has a place to hide. Smashing up heaven and earth even beyond the particle physics of the known universe leaving no dust behind to get fixed in the eye. Even the above quote of previous times is just all airy fairy dream talk, a big shiny hook.


  6. Just like this old story that Sifu Wolf shared.

     

    "Once upon a time a pilgrim from Bagdad met up with the plague 50 miles out of town. You look like your up to no good said the pilgrim to the plague. Im off to kill 5000 people in Bagdad replied the plague, and they went there separate ways. One week later the pilgrim, on returning to Bagdad, met up once again with the very same plague. You told me you were going to kill 5000 people, i heard that you killed 50,000. No, no, said the plague. I only killed 5000 people, the rest died of fright. Sifu Wolf"


  7. Being a martial artist is not about knowing how to fight, or being a good fighter.

     

    Kung Fu is about life. It is about knowing who you are and what you are capable of, "truly expressing ones-self".

     

    True martial arts leads to a greater understanding of yourself, a greater understanding of Tao.

     

    Kung Fu is not about fighting someone else. It is about developing and evolving yourself to be the best that you can be in all situations, very similar to taoist self-cultivation.

     

    Jing

     

    Hi Jing. Love whats being composed here, hitting the nail on the head.


  8. Tao Wu Shin Has come a long Way. Another useful skin-bag dancing to the sound of the way. His back will always be straight his chi will always flow on.

     

    The guest will ever rest to only blind, cognition the brain will not crystalize and will not rape the true mind. So-pose it is funny how the host answers those questions in mind when the true self is realized. Flowing between the Two and not polarized by desire. This human is not a lier.

     

    Tao Wu Shin, Tao Wu Shin always unchanged in a state of change.

     

    Spill my blood for this earth to fertilize for the sake spiritual evolution of future lives, this skin bag, this monk is expendable but a Tool for the Tao but not for that human Zoo.

     

    Nice to meet you mate, Take care Jing.


  9. You people sit there in front of the computer, missing the wisdom of a experinced teacher and master. A man thats Walk'n the walk and talk'n the talk, a man that is the cutting edge of human evolution. And all you do is just sit there in your small little fucking brains tell'n him how to type and compose on this site. Its not that hard to reed surely. Sifu Wolf is'nt writing a fucking one thousand page book. Just let the man be and learn.

    I hope you will contribute yoself to our FOR - UM.

     

    for... um?

     

    Thankyou cat.


  11. Using the way of No-heart mind (empty from guestly influences only the host remains) as the way of mind. Using the way of Tao Wu Shin as the way of mind. This is the only practice of Tao Wu Shin Because every thing is empty when it is usefull.

     

    Eat, eat, eat,

    Shit, shit, shit,

    The daily ins and outs of a caterpiller

    to only transform into a futter bye


  12. I'm having a hard time understanding emptiness meditation. I've watched the bk meditation movie twice and i'm still unsure of how to 'watch' my breath without feeling it or visualizing it. What are some other names for it so I can look up more resources and books? Do you just place your attention on a fixed point in the nostrils? Isn't this feeling the breath? thank you very very much for your time.

     

    Emptiness is not a process of understanding but of being. Watching a movie will not help you if you sit there and just think about it so much that you fall into the guestly nature of self. Watching your thoughts is simply just allowing your thoughts to float by without clinging on to them beacuse they are always going to be there even if they are good or bad, emotional or not. And allso there is no need for visualizing breath because it is happening in every moment, it is allready there and it only comes naturally not by force. Already doing it now in the now. Mainly its all about opening up the awareness. Dont fight it, just use your awareness. So if a thought arises just let it come and go just like your breath. When you dont allow your self to rule thoughts and emotion fall into the distance then emptiness is just there naturally, body and mind are still and theres no need to visualize on breath. Remember this; breath follows mind, mind does not follow breath, it only comes naturally. If you realy want to understand how to breath after all this them watch a baby.


  13. In the back of the skull you see, but with lack of sight you lasped the light. But with insufficient light and narrow veiws you try to sound like Lao Tzu. Ponder a few stories, memorize a few sayings. Through arbitrary guess work, this trap has you. With self appointed glory, a self appointed preacher. Look, Look these poor souls need and teacher. Forgetting is forgetting, witnessing is witnessing. Missing the point, missing the strike, the swordsman dies tonight. Missing the eye your thoughts fly aloft. Clinging to one sidedness these childern need to grow up. Grow, grow, grow up fast. Otherwise human race might not last. Maybe wrong choice words, but it all reads absurd. Half way there so cheers to they. Wolf never sleeps nor wolf never awakes. So many fall, so many rise, why chose to blink a eye. The tao is your looking glass, and a dog wipes he's ass sitting on the grass.


  14. Hey im new here..... Ive been doing this sort of stuf for about a year now. Im a member of several different boards like plurbis.com and meditationmantra.com..... Im looking to learn all that i can....

     

    Beware of those with a long nose. Beware not to fall in thoses traps that they sow. Because they are every where, ego's fly, ghost's in there minds. With great care tread on the path of reality and all always be aware. With thunder in the sky culitvate the eye. Good Luck and ask questions why.


  15. Saw the Haiku chain

    Buried by Kunlun Posts

    Now I know better

    Never mind my thought

    Haiku has enough rules

    The Tao dosen't care

     

    Sitting in the the weeds, some one must know.

    Sitting on a chair, it could be any where.

    Watching the ghosts float by, traped within shells, traped in a lie.

    Buried with there heads in the sand, will these humans ever understand.

     

     

    Not your body, not your thoughts, you are the awareness

     

    Word I does not exist.

    Catching the beast by the head and tail.

    look there's a little snail.


  16. Hi Z3N!

     

    "A fact is a fact weather you like to belive it or not." ~ z3n

    In a nut shell ... Is a nut ! I've seen them :D

    and sometimes a worm ?! ... I've seen them ,too :P

    which could lead to the cocoon thing in a long round about way ?

     

    In truth though,

    "With the art of forgetting frontal lobe murder and being in the moment of these happening."~ Z3N

     

    this child here don't disagree

    but only questions,

    Why the word forgetting is being used here

    not witnessing ?

     

    seems forgetting has already taken one out of the moment?

    to forget one must first remember.

    The future is not to be remembered, Zee. ("Probable" futures don't count for the Psychics out there!)

    nor is the present moment.

    to truly be present in the moment

    one's only option is to experience/witness the moment.

     

     

    Other points may get questioned

    but will let this sleeping wolf

    sleep for now.

    rest easy.

     

    Shonton Ga

     

    Know this is known

     

    But sometimes those nut shells

     

    are totally empty?

     

    :huh:

  17. So in a nut shell everyone needs to practice of reversal in the means of returning back to the origin of life. The guestly nature is the way of ordinarily going along with human conditioning, lost in the mundane, physical senses slowing becoming more and more like a zombie without any type of conscious knowledge becoming dissociated from true reality without any awareness of its happenings. Slowly fading away into the sub conscious the real knowledge becomes inaccessible without any wisdom to cultivate. Locked in thoughts, emotions, desires, I, ME s etc as Master Wolf so clearly put it. Depleting your vitality, energy and spirit to the point of exhaustion were the inherent bright and shining true essence of the host fades away untouched, unchanged into the marvel of the Tao. This pure pristine awareness is the work of going in reversal returning to the Tao, the host not modelled by yin or yang, not fixed on myriad thing of matter. Uprooting the mundane senses, restoring the whole original being by reversal of the natural process is simply doing, working on the now in the now. Watching and using the tools of the Tao to restore life by collecting the true sense, the true essence, the true intent, the real knowledge and conscious knowledge. Breaking out of the cocoon. With the art of forgetting frontal lobe murder and being in the moment of these happening.


  18. Guest and host. A matter of experince and practice in the art of taoist culitvation, rather than frontal lobe disfuction. The reality is there and those of seem to have miss it. A fact is a fact weather you like to belive it or not.
