  3. Is it recommended to practice Qi Gong with

    Qigong is not something you achieve, it's a practice you do, ideally over a long period of time for optimal internal health and clarity of mind. The benefits of such a practice are enormous. Prolonged daily practice brings you closer to the unfathomable Dao.
  4. He's being humourous, as in alwaysoff, WrongzomFan etc etc.
  5. What has TaoBums taught you?

    But hasn't Bodh Gaya also now become a tourist trap, much like Wudang, Shaolin, Hua Shan, Emei Shan etc ? Once your off the tourist trail, out in the wilderness, the Dao is much more strongly felt.
  6. Do you trust Daniel Reid health advice ?

    He does have a strong voice, probably good eyesight and I bet he doesn't suffer from infections and diseases. Qigong works from the inside so if he's been practicing for many years his internal health will be excellent.
  7. What Are "Legitimate" Qi Abilities/Power?

    Notoriety, power over gullible students, $ales of books, DVDs, charging fortunes for lessons, 'treatments' and seminars, inflation of an already overinflated ego etc etc.
  8. The method of Alchemy, according to Liu I Ming

    Harmonious Emptiness, remember this thread ? http://thetaobums.com/topic/18847-liu-i-ming-18th-century-taoist-adept/
  9. Does Anyone Have Power?

    God can be approached scientifically also. Read the works of Stephen C Meyer and the Bogdanov brothers.
  10. Does Anyone Have Power?

    You don't need the bible to understand 'god'.
  11. Does Anyone Have Power?

    God is both
  12. Does Anyone Have Power?

    Good. I'm beginning to tire of your superiority laced overtones.
  13. Does Anyone Have Power?

    You can work to develop energetically and martially, as I've done for decades, without becoming power hungry though. There's a difference.
  14. Does Anyone Have Power?

    So anyone who says 'that wanting power is bad', is weak ? That's rather a sweeping generalization.
  15. Other Forums ?

    I think you'll find a lot of folks here are very materialistic. You don't have to be anti-materialistic to be spiritual.
  16. Time Table of the Tao Te Ching

    I'm sorry but I think it's an important point. Your thread is titled 'Time Table of the DDJ' If Laozi never existed (possibility), then the whole thread needs revising.
  17. We each create our own destinies and forge our own paths. It's best to take one day at a time.
  18. I would like to think so too, but there have been lots of evil characters since the dawn of time.
  19. The guy that murdered innocent men, women and children ? Why in the world would anyone be impressed by such a person ?
