  1. Hi Maddie,

     

    Knowing the past history of this forum being populated by really deluded individuals borderline pathological, I thought you were one of them too by posting photos of a friend, girlfriend or relative. 
     

    Please take no offence, I had no idea you were a transgender.

     

    All the best,

     

    Gerard :)

     This is why I ask why am I not enlightened?

    Irrelevant.

     

    Finish all your created at once lifetimes and GAME OVER. How many? As many as you did with the initial *Big Bang (all souls/minds' efforts to create reality). It coukd be 201, 250, 310, who knows. 

     

    "The Big Bang was the moment 13.8 billion years ago when the universe began as a tiny, dense, fireball that exploded. Most astronomers use the Big Bang theory to explain how the universe began. But *what caused this explosion in the first place is still a mystery." 

    *Refer to the first paragraph.
     

    Time is still irrelevant as it's a mind construction to asign a date to an specific event from the space-time continuum. Outside that, it no longer exists.

     

     

     

     


  3. Goodbye Water Rabbit. You were such a drag. Glad you are gone now and I was offending the Grand Duke Jupiter (Tai Sui) as a Horse:

     

    Few will dare challenge the authority of the Grand Duke, in fear of adversity.

     

    I survived for sure. :)

    From the evolution of the Year of the Dragon in 2024, there will be more earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, and wars in 2026 (Fire Horse) and 2027 (Fire Goat/Sheep) years.

     


    There you go:

     

    Taiwan's strongest earthquake in 25 years kills nine, tsunami warnings lifted


    Japan lifted the tsunami alert following the quake:

    Yet more to come. This is only the beginning of a string of similar events.

    Im curious if you would like to share some advice and practice? As an euro, this is quite foreign to me


    I'm a euro too and it would be totally foreign to me hadn't I moved to Australia, where the movement of Wood and Fire are the dominant forces here (South and East).

     

    I started Ba Gua Quan/Zhang in 2008 combined with a bit of seated and more moving meditation Vipassana based.
     

    The sky is the limit let me tell you that.

  6. I forgot to add the following:

     

    1. Nourish the mother of Wood, which is Water. Peak hours are  3pm to 8pm. 

    2. Nourish the Wood itself. Peak hours midnight to sunrise. 

    So to benefit from that practice during those hours.

     

    Wood is intensified during spring season and full moon period. 

     


  7. Five years ago I was told by optometrist my eyes were starting to get into the condition of ocular hypertension which in the old age could turn into a glaucoma. Mind you back then I wasn't even doing a 1/4 of the grounding I did today. I understood why He Jinghan is a grounding specialist. Today I I 100% backup his entire YT channel.

     

    We have become excessively visual and tech obsessed which is all a manifestation of excessive Wood movement. 
     

    I was born like that, like most of the Western world: study, watch, TV, computers, smartphones, excessive thinking.

     

    How to fix it with exercise is my only recommendation tbh:

     

    1. Long walks in nature, the longer the better.

    2. Asian squat as often as you like on a daily basis. Do it straight after any computer, smartphone, TV and mental activity like study or academic work, research and the like. Stay low relaxed and breathing moving the Qi down to your feet and deep into the earth starting from the top of the head. Mind leads the Qi. It works wonders.

     

    Other than that Ba Gua Zhang
     

    Why? Because it's a very Wood type of internal art. You'll be constantly moving which in turn stimulates the movement of Qi and blood. It will nourish and open your eyes.

     

    Also walking meditation many hours a day (Vipassana), but it is tedious and boring unless you practice in the natural environment. 

     

     


  8. Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapses after being struck by cargo ship; 6 people still missing
     

    Water Rabbit is very active as the Qi is departing the forces involved (Yon Wood force down and Water force is in gathering mode, reservoir, lake, etc.) and maybe conflicting with the waiting to be fully activated Wood Dragon (Earth & Yang Wood). 
     

    Ship hits bridge (Wood Dragon rising force) and collapses (pulling down force of Water Rabbit).

     

    Also take into account direction of ship travel and location of the bridge which are a result of imbalance in the 5 Elements/Forces in that particular location. Anyone familiar with that location? 
     

     


  9. What is causing the problem in the first place? 

    Excessive computer/smartphone use?

     

    Lack of daily grounding?

     

     

    Remember: the Liver opens in the eyes. Any Liver issues will reflect in eye problems (amongst a myriad of other conditions),

     

     


  10. Maybe Atlantis was really located in the Sea of Japan. Yonaguni.

    Maybe the face on Mars is an ancient alien building.

    But really they are all pseudo-archaeology. 
     

    Man-made myths that all have a logical explanation.

  11. You have to keep breaking your Heart until it opens.

     

    Your Heart is the size on an ocean, go find yourself within its hidden depths.
     

    Beyond all ideas of right and wrong there is a field, I will be meeting you there.

     

    By Rumi, Persian mystic. 

     

    Everything is a mirror of your OWN MIND. (Universal truth)...whether it is seen or unseen.

    So I tried the copy-paste method and it worked. In the past it wouldn't.

     

    Not sure what has changed but I'm pretty sure when I inserted the Egyptian hieroglyph in another thread in The Rabbit Hole section I used IMGBB. Not allowed now? I'll use the copy-paste method as an alternative.

     

    Thanks for your replies.

    In reply to Taomeow's post about Eastern European pork delights, I have eaten them in Hungary in a breakfast banquet and it was really nice especially when paired with vegs. like fresh tomatoes, radish red and green peppers. Highly recommended.

     

    But my personal favourite pork food is Spanish Ibérico ham. Otherworldly!
