  1. hi folks so there are different kabala trees - maybe they are in some sequential order. the one most of you may be familiar with is probably the so called "cordovero"-tree (by moses cordovero).. this one: then theres the "luria"-tree... isaac luria lived around 1600 it looks like this: as you can see, the 'branches' of the tree have different letters assigned to them. so then, the third tree i wish to present is the "abulafia"-tree from abraham abulafia - this one: so we have three different trees: (the second one is the "sufi" tree but will not take it into consideration). whats the difference between each one one of them? i got the vibe that luria's tree is somehow more 'sophisticated' when used in kabalistic magic please do discuss

  3. What constitutes Taoist alchemy?

    clarke hudson (http://artsandsciences.virginia.edu/asiainstitute/people/eastasia/wch4b.html) refers in his dissertation ("spreading the dao" https://www.scribd.com/document/329343219/The-Life-and-Alchemical-Teachings-of-Chen-Zhixu) to what he calls "the standard account of daoist alchemy" it consists basically of 4 steps 1. laying the foundation of 100 day 2. refining chi 3. giving birth to the spirit body (sheng tai) 4. leap into the great emptiness (through the gate of brahman, at the top of the head ("bai-hui")) (if the above link doesnt work heres another url https://search.proquest.com/docview/304607092)
  4. hi i found clues that its basically possible to achieve a state of anesthesia or at least analgesia for a person using (only) acupuncture needles. im interested in this. but there was no explicit info to be found. heres another pic of jonn mumford piercing himself with a needle (in his case kundalini-technique was used though): (he performed other stunts like this, e.g. putting his tongue at a hot glowing iron rod) uh, mind providing me with enough info so i can do this too?
  5. Unraveling Taoist Yoga

    i typed the text of the first 10 chapters into my computer and then converted it by a text-to-speech software, so i can hear it when riding the bus i also made a handwritten copy (till chapter 10) ^^
  6. uhh, i dont dare to disclose it to such a person, but.. doesnt the removal of the testicles "kill" your ability to practise alchemy? i mean, fire and water have to mingle with each other, and water is the kidneys (which in turn "are" the (external) testicles)
  7. no it doesnt i read it as "have guy friends but stick to your girlfriend (in the end)" (assuming the reader is male). sorry for being rude, but in my estimation the whole point of daoist yoga is about not having intercourse
  8. What is Immortality?

    sorry i thought it was all about creating a yang spirit/embryo (shengtai) to leave the body to appear in countless transformation bodies in space
  9. retention contest

    hello fellows im somewhat down because last night i had a nocturnal emission after practising retention for 53 days how long did you manage to not let it happen?
  10. Taoist Yoga Discussion thread

    do you have this as plain text version? please give me a link. thank you very much
  11. hello, in wikipedia and in other message boards there is an option 'print version'. it displays to you the thread in simple text format so one can print it more easily without having to have in it the message board graphics. i did not find it do you have this option in the message board? please tell, thank you well, i fathom it isnt there (is it?) .. there are many threads of value. could you implement it..? that would be good. lets discuss this. it would make the difference between reading a long thread and not reading it because you could copy it on your phone then
  12. hello bubbles, thank you for your help. your advice is good but in this thread ( http://thetaobums.com/topic/22912-semen-retention-100-days-and-my-experiences/page-32 ) that print symbol is not there at the end of the page. in this thread it is but in the linked thread it isnt. how can you do this?
  13. ...

    are there bodily changes which do occur by time the kundalini awakens? i do not know
  14. do you think it may be beneficial, in a magical sense that is in a way that helps or increases your wellbeing, to pluck all the body hair you have except for maybe the one on top of your head? i heard priests in ancient egypt did this, they are said to remove the hair on they eyelashes also. im not interested in looks. its just, could it help your health to do this.. O_o not shaving, one is to remove them thoroughly, with root. i dont know how to accomplish this
  15. ...

    mco is good please post our success, which points do you use to circulate it up the tu mo and down the jen mo channel? im in favour of your endeavour. they talk about neidan/internal alchemy, so does there exist waidan/external alchemy? does external mean to use things from the outside like plants or some vegetables? theres this ko hung ("ge hong") person. this text has references to ingrediences like "black fat" or cinnabar. get a hold of the lieh hsien ch'üan chuan. it does resemble western alchemy to some degree because he does mention a lot of chemicals like arsenic sulfide or blue alum.
