Life needs balance? That is so new-agey and the type of propaganda lies which the CIA are fond of coming up withÂ
Â
I thought it was a fundamental principle of Taoism.

Tell that to Gandhi.

His spiritual mentor was a Jain and Gandhi embodied the qualities of Ahimsa.

There are exceptions, but as marblehead said: it's not a universal truth.

"By cultiavting properly you can build up a confidence and a radiance women will find highly attractive. THey will also sense your energy on an energetic non physical level and be attracted to it."
Â
I agree with you, however i would also like to add, that I believe this does not only apply to women, but that it applies to all living beings.

Our fate is not sealed in the 'Dark age' it's just more difficult to achieve spiritual progress. So they say?

In Hindu cosmology we are in the stage of Kali Yuga, the 'Dark Age.' The 4th stage of a divine cycle where there there is a decreasing decent into spiritual matter, a solidification, and a greater attachment to the physical plane. - That'll explain it!

"I'm just gonna let the universe present me with my perfect person when the time is right."
Â
In my humble opinion this is self limiting,your waiting for the right conditions before you take action. Maybe the universe is waiting for you to take action before rewarding you with more favourable conditions. The universe will provide, but not if you sit back and expect it to do all the work.

The world would be a better place without the Abrahamic religions.Â
Would it?

he didn't lucid dream it, he actually just made it all up, in the sense of like lets say, Harry Potter, but instead of referencing Celtic Lore or whatever, it references American Shamanism.Â
I don't know the truth of it, but that had me ROFL. Thank you

for me it's not a matter of belief, it's about knowing, and i just don't know! and to be perfectly honest i know very little, if anything at all:)It doesn't matter at all which one of these truths you believe in. -
The Hindu and Buddhist concepts of reincarnation and Karma are too complex for me to understand, my innate feeling is in concurrence with marblehead..only one shot! Embrace it with both arms and live it to your fullest potential.

I used to agree with Edward and surfing Budda about the morality of charging high fees, however i have now come to realise that
in order to walk the path one is required to make great sacrifices and one of my personal stumbling blocks has been about money and the fear of letting it go. Now i feel through paying these fees one is showing a high level of commitment to learn especially if money is tight. I've wasted a lot of money on a lot worse things without even considering it!
Â
I see the payment of money as a fast track or a short cut to the knowledge, saving you a lot of time. Either pay the money or go stare at a wall for the next 10 years for 12 hours a day, that will cost you nothing.......either way you'll get what you are looking for.

Thanks TB for the great link and thank you Cat for your recommendation. Just one question, is the Eric Yudelove book based on Chia's 'Taoists secrets of love' or does it offer different perspective or added dimension on the subject of 'sexual kungfu'? as i already have that book.

Step 6. Allow all feelings/sensations/emotions related to this to arise. If you are up to it, you can even say "Bring it on! Give me all you got! I want to feel it all." Don't get stuck on any thoughts, just keep re-focusing on the feelings in your body.Â
Fully agree....accept it don't reject it.

Nice post

Thanks HE and Pilot, much appreciated.

I am off into the Himalayas for a couple of months, can anyone offer any advice on whether to practice Qi gong and Tai chi near water, trees, rocks, grass, in snow, the wind, at altitude, different weather conditions etc?

Applause.

Forgive them, and move forward with your life.

Not to mention, the Buddha actually taught methods that one could use to become just like him, and he taught with clear examples, not just parables.Â
Gnostics may beg to differ.

Eyes forward, not fixed, soft focus, be aware of an inner smile in the corners of your eyes, attention is turned inward.
