  1. jeez dude... weeks before they find the body... wow...

     

    Was that a bit over the top? I couldn't let the post sound TOO serious or it would just come off as critcizing a complete stranger instead of friendly obsevation. Hyperbole seemed perfect for this. (not sure why but that's my favorite word today. :P hope I'm using it right) I also suspect this might be due to my spending too much time corrupting wishes :D

     

    p.s. Cutlery humor is vastly under-rated. Just try to keep in mind that spooning leads to forking so it is actually a very serious matter ;)


  2. Yeah, you fucking wish Thelerner.

     

    The guy wrote the book on healing tao sex, made all the wood in his house crack while working on the wood element in his practice, and speaks to atlanteans. We buy HIS tapes looking for IMMORTALITY.

     

    So just where the hell do you get off saying that he 'doesn't put on airs' of being a 'grandmaster'?

     

    THIS GUY AND PEOPLE LIKE HIM FUCKED WITH MY TEENAGE SPIRITUALITY THELERNER. FOR YEARS I WAS OBSESSED WITH THIS CULT BULLSHIT. SO HOW THE HELL DARE YOU SAY THAT HE DIDN'T OWE ME ANYTHING.

     

    I didn't insult him. (However, how cunning of you to make that implication!) If he was 'insulted' because I failed to get anywhere with that material, then really is that my fault, or his?

     

    pffsht. You think he's 'knowledgable'? For being the only person in the world who can teach atlantean nei-kung, HE'S AN IDIOT THELERNER. Stand him next to a professor of philosophy, or at least somebody who has taken a couple semesters of LOGIC, and this will be plain to see.

     

    'One of the guys'. what-the-fuck ever.

     

    'micheal' -- FUCK YOU.

    ... little1 you're such a spoon.

     

     

    Just curious, have you given any thought to whether you control your emotions or they you?

    I should think it would be damn near impossible to maintain any sort of healthy relationship, let alone follow the 'middle path' we call Daoism with so much anger. This isn't a judgment (I used to have anger issues too) I'm just saying it might be a lot healthier to relax a little man. At this rate you could very well end up dying of a heart attack or a stroke by the time you hit 30. To make matters worse since no one will like you enough to call and say 'hi', it might be weeks before they even find the body. :blink:


  3. Holy cow.

     

    Have any of you tried using one of these? I have one but never tried using it until today. Decided to get it out from gathering dust and it kicked my ass after only 5 minutes!! :o

     

    I never would've believed something so simple could be so unholy hard!!!

    *flops from sheer exhaustion*

    Edit: Pardon...the one I have is this one - with the foot straps so you can do various exercises with it with your hands or your feet. It came with a DVD of a full body workout with just the wheel. The trainer says he used it with a football team. Made them strap their feet in then literally do plyometric pushups from one side of the football field to the other and back. Yikes!! :blink:

     

    I have a version of that first one you posted and I don't use it nearly as much as I should. Those things are pretty good when your on your knees but I've seen people that could do it hands and feet. I tried it and it sucks... a lot :lol:

    :blink:

    :blink:

  4. That night she rubs peanut butter all over herself and you have a wonderful time, but as the week wears on she becomes more interested in the peanut butter then you, with a chubby peanutty hand she waves you away.

     

    I wish it would stay in the 50's here in the Midwest for another 2 weeks.

     

    Michael

     

    Granted!!

     

    It does in fact remain in the 50's for another two weeks. As it turns out the vast majority of expert scientists from all over the world were wrong and global warming IS happening.... now. It stays in the fifties or warmer for the rest of winter and by mid spring its already more than 150 degrees. The planet soon becomes unlivable and we all die off. In more pleasant, unrelated news, Al Gore gets eaten by Manbearpig... turns out he was right about that too. :lol:


  5. Okay, had to watch the movie first. Awesome, didnt even know about it.

     

    Okay so you have the ability to teleport anywhere when you feel like it.

     

    Unfortunately you get caught on a few of those street webcams in Hong Kong and in Amsterdam by accident due to not being too careful about a year or two after you find your special powers. The videos of you teleporting make it on YouTube and you are forever made out to be a freak and held in derision by the public. (Because people in general have never been too understanding.)

     

    You live out your life, rich but due to media coverage -hopelessly alone.

     

    I wish for a bag of cinnamon bears.

     

    Granted!!

     

    You hear a strange noise at the door and when you open it there's a giant plastic bag full of 'cinnamon bears'. There are five cinnamon colored bears and you can actually smell the cinnamon flavor but only for a moment. Turns out they think your just as tasty as you think they are, but they're bears so your completely out matched. They tear out of the bag drag you inside spend the rest of the day on your couch chatting about how tasty those little white rabbit candies are..

     

    My girlfriend just asked that I wish for an unlimited supply of peanut butter for her. (she's addicted to the stuff) :P


  6. Relax a little man. It seems like your just pissed that you got outed for pretending to be multiple people to lend your views more credibility. If you really were taking it that far to begin with, then an obvious question would be why do you care so much? So Verdesi's expensive. And? I spent a couple grand for the oregon seminar in 08 and I've spent even more to study in China with another teacher. People can charge what they think their services are worth. If you don't like the price then don't pay.

     

    The bit about getting so many pms seems like yet another 'social proof' gambit. If the only way to get people to like your views is to try to convince them that everyone else likes your views, then maybe you should reconsider the value of your viewpoint?

     

    I'm not taking sides on the Verdesi issue in either direction since I haven't been there in person for any of it and haven't even met him face to face but I think things will certainly smooth themselves out much faster and easier if everyone plays fair. :P


  7. Who created the creator?

     

    I only used it as a relative term to explain a particular relationship.

    if the creator is created then it must also have a creator ad nauseam.

    no matter how many times this is repeated it doesn't change the relationship I was explaining

    so your question becomes irrelevant to the point at hand.

    if you over think unrelated issues you miss the concept.

    (cant see the forest for the trees)

    :P:P


  8. I would suggest starting with the basics.

    You could suppose that you were living in the matrix and that everything you experienced was a trick.

    Who then is being tricked? if you are being tricked then 'you' at least are real, whatever 'you' is.

     

    Similarly, if everything you experience is a creation of your mind, then who's mind? if it's created there must be a creator and if it's experienced, you must exist to experience it.


  9. Dig deeper.

     

    Read this;

     

    http://www.healtoronto.com/durban/

     

    click on the "Full Text" to see the whole article.

     

    This article exposes a lot of the bad science associated with AIDS, especially with regards to Africa, diagnostic work and worldwide inconsistencies in the diagnosis of AIDS.

     

    I'm no expert but this really left me scratching my head.

     

    Also I have a great mistrust of Big Pharma. Leave it at that.

     

    Craig

     

    Wow :blink:

    I don't trust big pharma as far as I can throw them (collectively) which is to say, not far, but damn.


  10. I'd like to see the people who claim this to put the money where their mouth is, by injecting themselves with live HIV virus or contaminated blood. If their claims were true, it would surely be a principled stand at no cost to them. Yet they do not do so. Why?

     

    That would certainly be interesting but even if they think AIDS is not real, their argument seems to be that it's a 'blanket diagnosis' for other real problems which get lumped together. That would mean injecting themselves with an unknown, probably dangerous infection just to prove it's a different infection than was claimed.

     

    Would you shoot yourself in the head with a 9mm just to prove it's not a .45? :blink:


  11. yea, unless your unnaturally weak you should probably start with a 16kg (roughly 35 pounds). If you start with one thats way too light your going to teach yourself really bad form setting yourself up for a nasty injury (back problems are not fun) later when you gat one more your size. If you want to get into kettlebells, spend a little extra time and money to do it right. Otherwise you'll get nothing to show for it at best, or joint and back problems at worst.


  12. I currently train with a 24kg but I dont play with it nearly enough because I've been very lazy for a long while. I wish I had started with this though. http://www.artofstrength.com/online-store/reloadable.aspx

    it allows for progression without having to continually go out and buy new bells. You just load more shot when you want it heavier. Plus the weight moves inside which you can use to correct your form. If the weight is shifting around making the exercise hard your doing it wrong (kind of like pavels towel method.)


  13. OMG SANTI!! You're not sitting in full lotus and neither is Doc! YOU GUYS AREN'T DOING IT RIGHT! :lol:

     

    Cool video, but I feel like I just licked a battery! :P

     

     

    So I'm not the only one that felt rather strange while watching these then? good to know :D


  14. Man...I'd be happy just to know someday what a plain ol' run of the mill climax is like..much less internal, orgasmic body multiples.

    *heavy sigh* :(

     

    Unless your body is somehow completely wired wrong, you just need to find a guy who's more into making you feel good than just 'getting his.' Oh and he should have some kind of clue what he's doing. :P


  15. Granted you have not wished for anything for at least a week.

     

    I wish hitting garden gnomes with a cricket bat was a sport.

     

    Granted! you create the sport tomorrow in your neighbors yard... without telling your neighbor. A chunk of gnome hits his wife in the eye and you end up in jail because the judge didn't buy your defense of "gnome cricket is a real sport!!" unbeknownst to you, the guy across the street thought it was funny as hell and the sport catches on all over the country but he gets the credit so he's rich and famous while your in jail. to make matters worse, when you finally get out, you can't even play because you got raped so many times in prison that you can't run straight! :blink:

     

    I wish was I could teleport a la 'jumper'


  16. I wish I could talk to women without stuttering and looking at my shoes.

     

    Granted. Instead of stuttering and staring at your shoes, you drool and stare at their boobs!

     

    I wish I had 100 million dollars tax free no strings attached.

     

    I wish I could talk to women without stuttering and looking at my shoes.

  17.  

    I wish I could stop wishing and become centered! :P

     

    Granted!

    You completely lose all desire to do anything and end up living in a cardboard box literally contemplating your naval for the rest of your life.

     

    I wish my girlfriends cat could talk. (I'm pretty sure she's mildly psychotic so that could have great entertainment potential :D )


  18. according to these statistics from the Department of Health and Human Services, National Center for Health Statistics....

     

    Wang Xiangzhai nearly doubled his life expectancy for the people born when he was.

    Dr. Glen Morris died around the same age he was expected to.

     

    And everyone else on your list exceeded the life expectancy for the era that they lived in. (note that these stats are for the United States, so that makes this even more impressive considering the Swami from India)

    You have to realize that life expectancy has almost doubled in the last century.

     

    Those statistics are skewed by infant mortality. Back in the "old days" if you made it to the age of 3 or 4 you could be expected to live a full life (i.e. 70 -80) years. In some cultures you weren't even given a name until you were 2. Modern medicine hasn't increased our lifespan all that much. It just increased the number of babies that survived long enough to make a good go of it.

     

    edit: this also includes many third-world countries today though I would exclude Africa since tribal warfare there is still so bad that you never really have a good shot at a long life unless your white. "TIA"


  19. I think it helps to know, but it's not vital. If you keep training your bound to figure it out on your own. I can feel my organs and I've only been at it seriously for a couple of years. It seems logical that in 10 or 20 years I should have quite a vivid picture of the inner workings of my body.


  20. I'm not picking sides with any person or organization, I just noticed a few things that are incorrect and I'm adressing them. In the spirit of peace!

     

    Dreamingawake-

     

    baxter (the vaccine manufacturer) is an entirely corrupt company which knowingly sells deadly products (heparin for instance).

    --What makes you say that Heparin is deadly? Heparin is produced naturally in the body. So, it isn't any more 'deadly' than acetylcholine, or serotonin. There is however, this-

     

    http://notes.kateva.org/2008/02/heparin-pr...raping-pig.html

     

    Which does showcase Baxter in a negative light.

     

    ~jk~

     

    Our body does not manufacture enzymes.

    ---Yes, it most certainly does, and this is an unquestionable, scientifically verifiable fact.

     

     

    that doesn't change the fact that whatever they were putting in the 'heparin' they were selling was killing people. they're far from being the only company that cant be trusted either.

     

    bayer made a compound called factor 8 to treat children with sickle-cell anemia that was contaminated with aids among other diseases. their documents showed that they knew each dose was a death sentence so they sold it over in france knowingly murdering hundreds of children to make a buck.

    factor 8 was made from components we all manufacture in our own blood too, well, minus the aids...

    that didn't stop those children from dying
