  1. Many women don't understand when they notice a man that doesn't worship them.

    Unlike many men, some men are actually not obsessed with sex.

     

    Personally,

    i find the whole "i want to be your girlfriend/boyfriend as long as you fullfill a, b and c"-scenario about typical relationships quite disturbing.

     

    Besides, we don't need sex or relationships.

    Freed from desire, you can see the hidden mystery.

    By having desire, you can only see what is visibly real.

     

    When the man does not want anything from the woman,

    the woman doesn't have any power over the man.

     

     

     

    The global financial elite exploit man's natural instinct to mate.

    Make people obsessed with sex and relationships,

    so they lose their inner bliss and power.

     

    Weak and unhappy people are easier to fool,

    and they consume more ;)


  2. These two statements directly contradict each other.

    If you already understand that you only get out what you put in, then why would you ask how to give a little to get a lot?

    Because i figured that maybe there were some styles

    that ask for less work/time to get the same effect...

     

    if you know what i mean?

    No-ones got to continue answering to me in this thread though.

     

    My questions are answered. :lol:


  3. Sometimes calling a spade a spade is what the doctor ordered. If you indicate you don't want to invest in the teaching, all you're doing is expressing a notion of entitlement. In truth, you often have to put in just as much effort to prove you're worth investing the time into being taught as you might like to with the teaching.

    I know that the amount of reaction depends of the amount of action.

    I just wanted to know about some taoistic energetic methods which demand little action in exchange for a lot of reaction.

     

    I'm not sure which, if any, energetic practice i will soon or later do.

     

    Ok, I would like to apologize for saying that you came across as a looser just because you expressed a desire to have what KAP claims to offer, but for free and with little time and effort.

    Thanks for apologizing.

    It wasn't necessary. I didn't take offense, because doing that I would only be hurting myself.

     

    The only thing i tried to point out is that a hostile attitude is a self-destructive one.


  4. Sometimes it just best just tell it as it is.

    i admit that i make mistakes.

    but not everything you think is a mistake is a mistake.

    not everything you think is right is right.

     

    you don't know me or my situation.

    you don't know everything, you are a little part of the whole... as i am..

     

    it's not good to judge too much,

    it's not good to be too convinced of some the ideas in our heads

     

    :wub:


  5. Well, I guess you have your own answer then. Go stay at one of those free centers, get some free food and some free teaching.

     

    Problem solved! Except you mentioned that not only do you want it all for free, but you indicated that you are also unwilling to to put time and effort into it. To be honest you give the impression of being a bit of a loser. I'm sure that, for you KAP would indeed be a waste of money.

     

    i don't think you're doing yourself a favor by being like that,

    sorry mate :wub:

    Your "signature" appears very noble indeed. Unfortunately it does not seem to be reflected in the manner in which your opinion is voiced.

     

    Just an observation.. no offense please.

     

    (apologies for side-tracking here.)

    oops you were first.

    he's indeed harming himself. :mellow:


  6. there are vipassana meditation centers all over the world which offer free food and free place to stay for 10 days.

    if K.A.P. can't get enough voluntary donations like vipassana can,

     

    then i figure they could at least get enough money donated so they can do the online courses for free.

     

     

     

     

     

    maybe i'm wrong though, maybe not ;)


  7. Thank you so much! Amazing stuff:)

    If you have any further suggestions, please let me know!:0

     

    I like most of astral projection,

    many psychedelic progressive trance is good too.

     

    I like many fullon although there is many commercial/uninspired fullon.

    There are some good fullon mixes free for download at http://www.dacru.be/

     

    I like many oldskool goatrance,

    but not if it's got too much happening at the same time.

    I don't like the newskool goatrance like suntrip records,

    these have "too much" happening.

     

    Good stuff to check out:

    all etnica, all distance to goa, all destionation goa, all goahead

    Atmos, cosma, cosmosis, logic bomb, transient, etc.

     

     

     

     

    I'd recommend not to get too caught up in music though,

    it's just another distraction/addiction ;)

     

    Where there is music and good food,

    people will stop to enjoy it.

    But words spoken of the Tao

    seem to them boring and stale.

    When looked at, there is nothing for them to see.

    When listened for, there is nothing for them to hear.

    Yet if they put it to use, it would never be exhausted.


  8. apple cider supposedly works magic on warts.

    put a patch with apple cider vinegar around the warts, and leave that on during the night.

     

    during the day you can put off the patch, and put a new patch on during the night.

    after a few days the wart will become black and fall off with roots and all


  9. don't beat yourself up for it,

    girls aren't any more special than men in my opinion.

     

    men or women? it's just flesh and bones with a brain on top.

     

     

    nature kind of programmed men to be masculine,

    women to be femenine...

     

    but if you take a good look at humans you can see that

    the differences between man and women are really minimal and superficial.

     

     

     

    sex, company (whether friendship or intimate relationship), etc

    these's are all extra's... unnecessary luxuary's.

     

    we don't need them to be blissfully happy.

    In losing, much is gained,

    and in gaining, much is lost.


  10. I started this thread to see different perspectives.

     

    I hope you all find what's right for you.

     

    And remember:

     

    Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. - Buddha

     

    My opinion on how the kundalini is best awakened,

    and how the enlightenment is best achieved,

    is explained in the thread below.

    BE WELL EVERYONE _/\_


  11. I suspect that there is a cheaper, perhaps less accurate,

    but still helpful alternative to the $179 stress-eraser.

     

    If you wear a regular heartratemeter (with cheststrap, as the wrist-only meters are inaccurate)

    you can experiment with different breathing rhythms and see the change it has on your

    heartrate.

     

    Lower heartrate is probably indicative for a better breathing pattern.


  12. Update: From hypoventillation to hyperventillation

     

    Severals days ago, around the time i started this thread,

    i decided to control my breath,

    because I was sabotaging my breath from happening naturally.

     

    I had no clue how quickly i should breath in and out,

    so i tried to feel when my body wanted to breath in and out naturally.

     

    Even though there was no real fear or stress in me,

    i forced the body to start hyperventillating extremely.

     

     

     

    The past few days my body automatically had the tendency to hyperventillate.

    The only way i am able to to prevent hyperventillation at this moment

    is by taking short and shallow breath ins, and having long and relaxed breathouts.

     

    I'm not sure if I have some kind of physical problem that is unbalancing my breath,

    the results medical bloodtests seem to suggest that i'm perfectly healthy physically.

     

    In my case, deep breathing doesn't seem to work very well... maybe because i'm breathing too fast.

     

    The "shallow breathing" method which works for me at the moment is talked about below:

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


  13. Anyone who wants to pay me a stresseraser? :lol:

     

    Greetings..

     

    Four cycles (inhale/exhale) per minute..

     

    Be well..

    I'm sure you mean in rest.

    Your advices equals...

     

    4,5 sec Breath ins

    9,0 sec Breath out

     

    I just called my kinesiologist and she recommends

     

    3sec in

    6sec out (+-4sec out during exercise)

     

    hyperventillation can easily be stopped by taking very short shallow inhales,

    and having long deep exhales.

     

    how long one is to breath in and out exactly probably varies a lot

    depending on ones particular body, but as long as i breath out longer than i breath

    in, i will probably not hyperventillate :P

     

    If you come in here your first week looking for the meaning of electrons, you will be told to drink paint thinner while standing in Tree Pose.

    Lol i understand your concern.

    I like to compare people's advice,

    and always try to use my own common sense.


  14. Kinesiologist, yes, i know a good one.

    i will ask her if she is the best in breath or not.

     

    i will also show her the stresseraser device.

    i think it's cool but i can't afford it.

     

     

     

    if anyone wants to create more replies in this thread,

    please do so.

     

    thanks so far for the help...

    but right now it's SLEEP TIME for Zazaza


  15. I don't think you should ask for advice here, when you already had to go to the ER for breathing "calmly and naturally". If someone gives you bad advice, who knows what could happen. This should be something you discuss with your doctor, to find out why your breathing isn't working.

    They gave me meds (a betablocker) to calm down the high heartrate.

    They told me i should visit a "Kinesist" to help me learn to breath properly.

     

    Not knowing what's causing my high heartrate for such a long time had inspired me to

    prepare some caps with high grade cayenne pepper. (they can apparently restore blood flow during heartattacks)

     

    I took 3 of them in the mouth a couple of hours ago...

    Which means the stomache cramps from hell are about to commence soon.


  16. What did the doctors say was causing it?

    According to the fact my blood had way too much (or too little?) oxygen,

    there could be no other cause for my high heartrate other than hyperventillation.

     

    - so the doctor said!

     

    A week ago I was hypoventillating because i was forgetting to breathe,

    and apparently tonight i was hyperventillating,

    trying to breath in a natural way that was apparently too deep and too fast.

     

    the high dose of lorazepam they dosed me with is trying to make me fall asssslllllleeeeep.

    i wasn't anxious but they still decided to dose me because they automatically think

    that hyperventillation is always caused by stress.

     

    they never think about the people like me, who are calm,

    and just have a breathing disorder. :lol:


  17. I just came home from the ER

     

    I went in with a really high heartrate (200 during the peak).

    They have hooked me up to their machines and took bloodtests and stuff.

     

     

    I was completely calm the whole time before calling ER,

    during waiting for the ER, being transported to the hospital and arriving there.

    So! I find a heartrate like that a bit suspicious.

     

     

    Apparently my blood revealed i was hyperventillating,

    yet i totally felt like i was breathing "calm and naturally".

     

    I have a hard time at knowing when I should breath in and out,

    and when I should not... depending on the level of exercise I'm doing.

     

    Can anyone give me a quick practical explanation please?

    Because my breath is a timebomb that can't wait to to explode again


  18. I am a n00b in spiritual matters,

     

    Yet i wonder wether it is not more efficient to simply have faith in god/tao/power of "the self" at all times,

     

    rather than praying to certain deities at certain times of the month/week or day?


  19. I looked through the FAQ but it is huge,

    and I would like to have some recommendations please.

     

     

    1. So far the only thing I do is being mindfull of my mind, body & environment

    as well as controlling my breath.

    Is there any site or free PDF that explains the base of "taoist mindfullness" or anything like that?

    (I can't buy any books because I'm a bum)

     

    According to the taoist view

    is it necessary to control the breath 24/7?

     

    2. I like to be active in life and thus try keep my spiritual practice simple and non-time consuming,

    on the other hand I like having good results.

    Why are "energetic practices" so important?

     

    3. I've read about a really simple energetic practice called "reiki".

    It involves getting some attunements which "open the chakras",

    and from then on you can "channel" the reiki without any effort.

     

    People often ask a lot of money for these attunements.

    Is reiki a good "energetic practice" for people who don't want to spend 10 hours per day doing energy

    exercises? Are there better alternatives?
