we stand in front of jesus Buddha who ever and our first question is always gonna be... "WHO AM I"

but what we do not realize is that our first question is how ever completely irrelevant to what you should be asking...

i sometimes get this impression..

is our age old question "who am i" actually irrelevant to what we truly wanna know considering we dont know what that may be...

well...

is it ok to sometimes smoke it before meditation or should i stay away from it completely?

hey guys well you see i have been lifting weights for a long time and have just now today begin to really see the fruits of my labor so with that in mind i though... maybe i should really start meditation and get some REAL FRUITS OF LABOR haha!

so yes tonight i am finally going to begin my taoist path for real.

i have the book "Cultivating Stillness" which i am going to use as my guild but i would greatly appreciate you assistance in this matter of mine

my first goal in my meditations is mental clarity (clearing my mind and being at peace)

-so i can sweep the road clean for future meditative journeys.

so clearing my mind and working on my memory... then im going to work on letting go of desires such as junk food video games and WOMAN omg i have to let them go they are the largest distraction in my life haha

that is just a very tiny tiny list of my goals in meditation.

so yes please let me know your thought and your help thank you

A VERY hard book to get my hands on...

a dear friend from sweeden told me to get it because i am a taoist...

he said it is a VERY important read...

please.. anyone.

what is this book about?

why so rare and expensive?

why so special.. iv been hearing so much about this book from taoists all over the internet...

hi my names brandon im 18

you see my main goal in this life is to learn the full potential of my human mind and body

and i feel i can learn this from taoism... maby not all of it but a good chunk..

i want to learn chi-kung and nei-kung

taoism is for health and longevity and stilling the mind...

i can use the stilling of the mind but will the rest really help me along my path.?

i wish to learn to do things with my mind that the ancients long before us knew...

when the time come ill be ready to devote myself to it forever if thats what it takes...

martial arts are also a goal of mine...

i dont want to live in this mind controling society of america and be a working slave to money day in and day out.. honesty.... i just want to run away to the himalayas and become enlightend... if i could do that i would in a heart beat.. i would leave all this BS behind and take that chance and find out who i really am...

i became a taoist follower because it made the most sense to me, and above all else i seek wisdom taoism seems so ideal and perfect for me but i am wrong? this is a serious question... please i am finally opening up myself...to people i dont even know but to people with hopefully like interests... please respond kindfully and helpfuly thank u very much

ok so we all know pretty much what law of attraction is.

its the belief that what ever u want will simply come to you if u go about it the right way...

if u want somthing and u forcefully strive for it then it ends up farther and farther away from u

if u let it just come to u in such a way that u LET it you will have what u want...

again the key to taoism is to not want.... im enjoying it for now...

say ur interested in a perticular female.. do u go about useing the law of attraction in such a way that

you show physically that u want her but so no interest mentally

or is it the opposite do u show no physical attraction but know what u want mentally and it will come...

i dont understand the bases of this law

can someone please help me

hey i posted a topic earlyer today about my daily routine and i was told to start Tai chi

How do i do it?

what is the main benifet from it. iv heard about it but what is the purpose of doing it if i make it apart of my everyday routine from what i have aready heard it sounds facinateing but i want your feedback as to why i should do it everyday

also..

please stay with me on this...

i wish to expand my mind...

my main goal in this life is to discover the full potential of the human Mind and Body...

i want to learn ESP or extra sensory perception which in itself is a MASSIVE variety of things Telekinesis pyrokenesis etc...

it is these kind of things i want to learn through my daily mediation.

contact with spirits and such is also another goal of mine...

...now. seeing as i am only 18 and these are some pretty tall orders i have here would only make one think "oh this is just some kid dreaming about being a superman" nothing could be further from the truth... i do wish to be one with the Tao and better my self as a human being and learning the things i have mentioned are only the tip of the iceberg... if taoism will help me reach these goals i will dedicate my life to its teachings...

Nei Kung

chi gong

qigong

tai chi

are some things i want to learn

if anyone teaches any of these or is very knowlagable of the subject please talk to me on msn

im thinking of backpacking and heading to the himalayas to look for some taoist masters also going to search china and singapore.. and of course indonesia.

let me know what u think,.

guy you must let go of all worldly affairs and issues if u want to attain enlightenment...

although the NEW WORLD ORDER thing i beleve is complete FACT you still cannot get attatched and distracted by it.

you have to make a choice and choose your path do you want to

-stay and fight?

or

-save your self and obtain enlightenment...

and who knows mabey you can come back and make changes after..

im going to seek enlightenment first...

but thats just me i guess

i dont really like the connection of a taoist to a bum please explain some one..

hi my name is Brandon Pearson im 18 years old i live in the USA.

i first got interested in Taoism when i was turning 17 .. i new that what i wanted more than anything was wisdom strange i no for a kid my age living the the US but what i seek in live is far more valuable than the false American dream.. i seek enlightenment and to maby who knows become a taoist immortal one day .

i have so much to say but i must be getting to bed soon

the US empire is falling and will collaps perhaps in my life time so living a material life is not for me and is boring anyway.

i wish to tavel to china to be taught taoism from masters and learn martial arts and nei kung and Mo-pai.

i am also going to travel to indonesia to seek out potential taoist immortal john chang...

nothing really makes sence in life except for the taoist way of life... it just (makes sense) i cant explain it.. its like how we were meant to live not living in from of our tv's and computers night after night.

i seek enlightenment and hopefully u guys can help me along my way

what i know of taoism i have only read in books that books i have read are

The Magus of Java

Seven Taoist Masters

Nei Kung

Tales of Taoist Immortals

Teachings of the Tao

Cultivating stillness

clear light of bliss

Wen-tzu

yes i have read ALL of those books no joke a couple of them twice

i am starting to read... the complete I ching - its not easy tho

i no from reading the books that the true tao cannot be learned from reading a book i need to seek a master

if i found a master to teach me taoism i would devote my LIFE to him and his teachings
