    And you're a silly Harry Potter wannabe.
  2. New Qigong Videos

    Please. I'm not the one making any silly claims about what I can or cannot do.

    Taiji is a martial art that can also be used as a method of self cultivation.

    denty, I read it years ago. I remain unconvinced. Pero, please site your source re: Buddha or Laotze's parlor tricks. To everyone else who wants to believe it, why do you want to believe it? Even it were true how does it help your spiritual development? What possible benefit is there to moving empty cardboard boxes? Why are you so willing to suspend rational belief for this nonsense? These sort of alleged skills first appeared in martial art circles and were all proven to be bullshit. Martial artists are far less gullible than supposed "spiritual" types.

    The problem with everything mentioned is that they are well within the laws of physics. This obvious fakery is not. People USED to believe in unicorns and fairies, shall we still count their potential existence, as well? Why are you all interested in this Dragonball Z bullshit? Is it for spiritual attainment? You supposed the Buddha or Laotze bothered with these parlor tricks? "it's not that people need to believe it, they want to!" Exactly.

    If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

    It's as real as Santa Claus. It's sad that you need to believe in this nonsense.
  9. John Changs 1st Westerner student

    Would have been interesting if it was real.
  10. New Qigong Videos

    It's fakery but not new fakery.
  11. how does transmission work?

    Please note that I am not dismissing such an idea. But often here there is an immediate acceptance of such phenomena. If we start with how does it work instead of is it real we wouldn't end up with all these moving someone without touching nonsense videos.
  12. ,

    I am all in favor of adding alternative therapies to standard regimens but I was afraid you were suggesting to fore go allopathic treatment.

    Here's a short video about the great Vedantist. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4...h&plindex=0
  14. The History of TaoBums

    Haha. I leave to pursue capitalism and you bitches are at each throats. Here's the REAL skinny. None of you have ANY claim to this site but Sean. He pays the bills. Don't like it? tough titty. He's a good enough bloke not to tell Pedro and his cohort to piss up a rope. Pietro is a self serving know it all wanna be. If we ever meet I'm going to see if he'd like to repeat some of his comments in person. I think not. Sean could shut the lights off tomorrow and then where will you whiners be? Winn's or Stumpjumper's cults? You should thank your stars for every day Sean keeps this joint afloat.
  15. how does transmission work?

    How about we start with---Does it really exist. Let's see some evidence.
  16. Combining Hatha yoga and Thai Chi

    Thai Chi? Thigh Chi?
  17. Cancer and Qi Gong Masters

    Are you going to take legal responsibility if the boy (or anyone) with cancer dies? The very first place ANYONE with cancer should go to is an allopath. Many cancers are treatable and curable with Western medicine. Buddy Cancer Survivor
  18. Ramana Maharishi

    drew, Gurdjieff? He wasn't fit to carry Ramana's dhoti. Your nonsensical ramblings sound like the side of a bottle of Dr. Bronner's soap.
  19. ,

    I must say I find all these answers to be very irresponsible. Chris, go to a doctor. Get chemo or whatever they suggest. I had lymphatic cancer 20 years ago and am cured because of chemotherapy. My best friend had testicular cancer and had radiation and was cured will very little side effect. If you have not survived cancer by the methods you've all suggested, please don't prescribe for someone else. Literally their life depends on it. Buddy

  21. distance healing

    As a survivor of Non-Hodgkins lymphoma, I'm pleased that I had chemotherapy. Because of it I am here to tell you about it. I'll take that over some speculative "distance" healing, thanks.
  22. The Hole in Newton's Bucket

    Sounds like reading a bottle of Dr.Bronner's soap.
  23. Send Questions to Master Lin

    An opt-in page? Why do I think it will be a pitch for the "Conference?" Is it just the marketer in me? Nah.
  24. gong fu

    Because it was my "Way.' A combination of influences led me to this particular "ism" to find the "way." But it can be anything that leads you to this. Correction, everything that is your way can lead you to this. Maybe it's the Dao of digging ditches, or fishing or carpentry, or study. I don't think we needn't put a restriction or label on it. But I'm no sage.
  25. ...and what is your vocation? Are they the same? I'm a museum professional (which I love) and a part time internet marketer (see my sig link). Are you fulfilled in your work?
