I am often asked about the relationship between Kundalini and Occult Powers. After living with Kundalini for 40 years, here is my take on the subject.

 

We need to teach by example, rather than by diktat, decree or duress.

Evolution is based on survival information being passed down from one generation to the next. In this way we preserve our eyesight in a dusty environment, instinctively know to quickly take our hand away from something too hot, we struggle to take another breath - etc... Various abilities develop/evolve when survival needs them and make imprints in our Genetic knowledge AKA: DNA.

In my years of study, I've seen others do things as well as have done them myself that are hard for even myself to believe. And some of them can be repeated many times over many years.

 

Small things like picking up my phone a few seconds before it rings when a girlfriend is calling is common place.

 

There has been one foundation needed as having a quiet mind for awareness.

 

As far as Kundalini is involved - it can only be a step in the right direction - although I see it as more of an electrical tune up for our body as well as basic training in meditation. Kundalini is evolved for the beginner but still at the foundation level when compared to many other meditation practices in Yoga such as the Savasana which is described in detail here: http://www.thetaobum...chic-abilities/

In my mind Nietzsche's superman is equal to Lao Tzu' "true man" or "sage".

 

Peace & Love!

 

Superman has made it out of the comics in the west and into the everyday "belief" systems?

.

I believe people meet there end when they are "meant" to, so that does interest me somewhat...

 

What would happen if you sent an army into a war without weapons or armor??

(I have actually thought of that before haha!)

 

I have known this to happen to people.. Those who deny reality and obsess and obsess about matters of no concern!

They all inevitably loose their minds...

 

The Christians called this "Hell" I think...

I think the TTC must have been written by an exceptional human being (or beings)...

Hi Exorcist,

 

Although I don't fully agree with everything you said above I do think that they are some excellent observations.

 

Not many translators of the TTC do a very good job with the concept of Chi, IMO. I think Wayne L Wang has done an excellent job in this regard.

 

And I agree, we can see the superman in the TTC. Most readers just don't relate to it.

 

Peace & Love!

Death is only a reincarnation based factor allowing evolution of the physical and mental existance.

Apple cider vinegar is what I would recommend. A cap full in a glass of warm water twice a day for the first fortnight, and once a day thereafter.

Love,

cider vinegar is good - it is a cleansing solvent for many...

Another that I have discovered lately is Tumeric http://www.healthdiaries.com/eatthis/20-health-benefits-of-turmeric.html

It's built on confusism. Where the child respects parents, wife respects husband, husband respects government with government at the top. Thats why it was chosen as the philosophical foundation for their society.... So the government can control the people too.

The spelling is "Confucianism" and it is not a control over the people - such as the enforcement of Christianity during the past has been - but rather philosophical - which is relatively easy to understand as well as to implement in society - through Very Simple observations - as The Children have the attributes of the parents and grandparents - including coming from their body - as well modern proof coming from the science of genetics.

 

The only control factor in Confucianism is the ones people place upon themselves, by themself, through reasoning with what they can see within their own families.

 

To see Confucianism in practice - Go see the new movie

I was not offended either and most of y'all know that I am an Atheist.

 

I was raised Christian.

 

When I started my search I threw out all gods and started from the beginning. I found no gods I wanted to include in my new path.

 

However, I see no conflict with incorporating gods into their Taoist path. Hey, some forms of Religious Taoism have many gods.

 

I actually don't even see a conflict with incorporating the Christian's concept of god with their Taoist path.

 

I think it is all good if it aids one in living a more virtuous life.

 

Peace & Love!

I was also raised in Christianity - but now a Buddhist- which is not a religion.

 

I see religions as only having one root cause - WAR - which I am against.

 

WAR is Rich man's gain for Poor man's pain. It is both that simple and that Insaine.

 

The religion of Christianity was begun 300 years after the alleged existance - for War.

 

It was used by the Emperor Constantine to give soldiers a thinking that they will survive with a thinking of honor etc... http://www.roman-empire.net/decline/constantine-index.html

The Emperor and his mother are the first 2 saints of Catholocism church. Go figure.

 

According to this website: http://www.roman-empire.net/decline/constantine-index.html he was also the beginnings of the Holy Crusade wars with Iran (Persia)- and the decline of Rome. - Same as is happening Today.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Pure_Ones

 

This thread is about religious taoism. I don't know if many of you pay attention to it, I know some do, but living in China this is something you cannot really deny its existence.

 

Three pure ones are those that must be kept pure in order to evolve within this life EG: Breath, Body and Mind (Meditation)

If you are in China, then you will know that China is built on a philosophical foundation - not the religious supersticion that was enforced by governments in the west as a controll over the people.

 

The thinking of religion in China is practiced by some - but mainly it is pitied as a mental weakness for wishful thinking akin to gambling.

As such - the word 'god' points more toward 'natural law' than a supernatural, mythical person (a superman), and can be substituted for it. As in the 'god' of gravity, the god of meditation (the mind), the god of the body - etc...

Simple & direct - Point being Celebacy IS the retention of Stem cells so as to use them for other than producing sperm.

 

An interesting find when I went searching for what a Purine was and did in our body - it points to a diet with MSG And/Or too much meat in it as the source of Arthritus.

 

Foods that contain purines

 

Because uric acid is formed from the breakdown of purines, low-purine diets are often used to help treat conditions like gout in which excessive uric acid is deposited in the tissues of the body. The average daily diet for an adult in the U.S. contains approximately 600-1,000 milligrams of purines.

 

Uric acid levels in the blood and other parts of the body can become too high, however, under a variety of circumstances. Since our kidneys are responsible for helping keep blood levels of uric acid balanced, kidney problems can lead to excessive accumulation of uric acid in various parts of the body. Excessive breakdown of cells can also cause uric acid build-up. When uric acid accumulates, uric acid crystals (called monosodium urate crystals) can become deposited in our tendons, joints, kidneys, and other organs. This accumulation of uric acid crystals is called gouty arthritis, or simply "gout."

I am assuming you are not having arthritus pain which can happen to young people too.

Good luck.

Didn't Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth book 2 reveal that the 6th Tibetan as the real key to appearing youthful. "The one extremely important factor for looking dramatically younger... I've intentionally been holding back on" page 29 http://www.kundaliniawakeningsystems1.com/downloads/ancient_secret_of_the_fountain_of_youth_peter_kelder.pdf

Apparently the Colonel didn't really try to tell people about #6, he felt few would have the motivation and drive to do some form of retention and drawing the energy upwards with the breath. He's probably right, while I aim for balance, if I had to do strict retention and no sexual interaction, well I'd rather die.

 

(If it wasn't book 2 I'm sure it's in one of them, along with using raw butter to reverse hair loss.)

 

While I did enjoy practicing T5T, like others I'm just not sure is they are "better" than Tai Chi / Chi Gongs / Meditation etc..... Although I am thinking about trialling headstands to see if they help with hair loss. While my skin looks very young and healthy, I'm going grey in the beard and running out of hair

 

Simple & direct - Point being Celebacy - the retention of Stem cells.

One point that seems to be missed is that T5T was only a response to an original book:

The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth by Peter Kelder

Where it does make the claims of lengthening lifespan etc whereas T5T is more concerned with Yoga ...

 

For those that don't read so well - the secret is exercise, meditation and celibacy - And I would think that diet and pure water would help more than a little. (Pure water fell from the sky, for millions of years, and was called rain.) Today's water is full of heavy metals - even city water comes from iron pipes leading into copper pipes and in some cases still lead pipes - whereas the Chloronated water - with an acid PH reacts with the metals to make them soluable - just in time for your body...

 

My concept of how the life extension works is that Celibacy helps to conserve sperm - which in reality are our body's most powerful embryonic stem cells - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryonic_stem_cell

 

Embryonic stem cells are distinguished by two distinctive properties: their pluripotency and their capability to self-renew themselves indefinitely.

 

and at the same time stops us from a process that is very akin to wounding ourselves as the sperm are body tissue that must be regenerated just as a wound must heal...

( but don't it hurt sooo good! )

Do you know for sure the 5 Tibetans work.

From my experience and from what I've seen in a few people who do them

they don't work. Our hair has turned gray.

Don't know why they get so much credit.

Maybe we should start a 5 tibetans challange

I began to get results in the first few weeks - But... I had been practicing T5T minus the Kundalini exercises and not being Celebate for about 30 years without knowing that what I was practicing was T5T- I just tought that I was doing Hatha Yoga and meditation (Savanasa)

 

The first results of being celebate were that my hair and fingernails grew really fast and still are. The second was that my Qi picked up drasticaly which shot my kundalini almost through the roof. I had been being held up on the throat chakra and now I'm borderline between the crown and aura. My opening the Chakras now begin at the throat whereas before my ability to pass the Chakras ended at my throat Chakra...

 

Also - I went to Taiwan recently and picked up a baseball sized clear crystal that was cut out of a Geode and am meditating & sleeping under it

Maybe it is my own wishing that the crystal is helping - but I am experiencing a strong growth in my meditation after the last few years of being stagnant...

 

Orgasims are nice - but the end results are like wounding yourself.

 

The key to understanding all is in knowing that Bodily tissue that is expelled in the form of sperm, that must be replaced, is literaly made from Stem cells: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/07/08/2619961.htm

 

I'm not going 100% celebate but about 75%.
