2045 is highly unrealistic for what they describe.

Not sure if this has already been posted.

Making it is very dangerous so I'm only familiar with the plant

Does it have the described characteristics of the stone?

An antioxidant should only be able to prolong ones live and maybe help to appear to a certain degree younger but not de age the body.

I'm referring to the Marshall Plan in Europe and the McCarthy administration in Japan. The Marhsall plan allowed Europe including Germany to recover quickly after the war even though its manufacturing base had been destroyed.

Ok, I see.

After World War II, according to the Potsdam conference held between July 17 and August 2, 1945, Germany was to pay the Allies US$23 billion mainly in machinery and manufacturing plants. [..] In addition, in accordance with the agreed-upon policy of de-industrialisation and pastoralization of Germany, large numbers of civilian factories were dismantled for transport to France and the UK, or simply destroyed.

Take 23 billion and destroy the remaining economy from germany and redistribute the US part in europe (germany got 1.4 billion from the Marhsall Plan). But I agree they could have acted less nice. Thanks for the clarification.

On a positive note look what the US did for Japan and Germany (and the rest of Europe including Britain) after WWII. After years of fighting against the Nazis and Japanese imperialism ... instead of retribution the US rebuilt both those countries and established a successful and peaceful future for them both. I am sure there was self-interest there but that's just how things work.

Not sure what this is referring to. From what I know Germany had to do reparations in the billion areas with manufactory plants. There were other things like enforced labor, export of technology, know how, scientists, patents and such.

Are you talking about the taoist method or the buddhist method? The buddhist version I've learned is not called "tummo" if you're thinking about that. But the body produces heat doing it. That heat is very importand to melt the drop in your hearth chakra. I don't know the difference to the 8 yoga of naropa / tummo (the sheets dryers thing), because I didn't learn that. But I think it's again very similar.

The daoist exercise I explained 2 posts ago follows on that heat. First you create the heat and then you compress it. It's importand to feel exactly what the heat is doing / where it goes and so on. It's no simple task.

 

Master Wang teaches always the basics first and the last few days some more individual stuff depending on the average level of the group.

I was referring to the Taoist method. Yes i had the impression that it was about tummo for the Buddhist version from the similarities of your description. Thanks for the clarification.

There is a tibetian system I know of that's very similar to the taoist systems. But that "tibet oriented exercuse" has very complex visualisations (navel chakra with all the spokes, sun and moon channel, cental channel, wind, red and white drops) - I think because of that it takes you longer to learn. But the breathing is the same.

Does the version you learned produce the same results? e.g. ability to dry sheets in the snow?

The one exercise I should not do at home is part of what Master Wang does not teach to the public.

Is it from the intensive seminars or does he teach certain things only to selected people?

Once you stop semen ejaculation via masturbation or sex, the body will repair itself.

Are you using any methods to transform or use the sexual energy?

May I ask how long have you practiced sexual abstinence?

So you're talking about sex appeal, facial symmetry, self-confidence,....more subjective characteristics,...my post above was bringing up a different type of charisma; the kind from fully open chakras, flowing chi that radiate the mood of real emotions.

Charisma can have a connection to sex appeal but the one I'm refering to doesn't have a connection to facial symmetry. A strong self confidence is from my understanding also connected to certain chakras.

The problem with real emotions is that its the job of the actor to do as if which would make it hard to decide how real the emotions are.

Forest Whittaker is imho a example for a person with real charisma that doesnt have the perfect facial symmetry.

I don't see a difference between famous men and women in having charisma.

Imho they have a different kind of charisma.

My question was mainly if I'm just not aware of the charismatic women or if there are much more charismatic men standing out in the movie branche.

Could it be that men have to develope different chakras/channels stronger vs women to appear more charismatic?

Charismatic actresses? Here are 10 to start anyone's list.

{Perhaps some have clearer channels than others. )

Thanks.

I'm probably to young for the black & white ones as I don't know most of them. But I have added some of the others to my list.

How many women with, as you say, "real charisma" would be actors? So, using Film Folk for the discussion depends as you said, what was the film cast for. Films like Under the Tuscan Sun, What a Girl Wants, the Good Witch, etc., are positive leading roles.

The general premise I use here is that people with great charisma will have better chances being sucessfull over a longer period/with multiple movies. For all the actors there is a selection process -> as long as there are enough actors to choose from we should see some with the top characteristics.

But what is "real charisma?"

With "real charisma" I was refering to a person that affects people because of their energies, aura, presence and such.

The alternative would be someone that is charismatic in the way they behave or talks to you.

In film I think they call it "screen pressence". Uma Thurman's got it! Of couse her father is a scholar of Tibetan Buddhism, hence her name

For Uma Thurman I had always the impression that a little bit is missing or that she lacks in confidence. Don't know why.

But she counts.

When I think charisma, I think George Clooney's poise and charm, and Julia Roberts smile ala 'Pretty Woman' era Julia Roberts.

 

When I think presence, I think of Clint Eastwood, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freedman, and Daniel Craig.

 

 

Joy + Confidence + Fire = Boom!

Yes, lots of men and still far less woman.

I wonder if this is mainly from the actor selection process of hollywood or if this is a general tendency.

If a person has real charisma it should affect a lot people. Chi, shen, chakras, the aura, energy channels and what one radiates should play a great role for this.

One of the best areas to find charismatic people seems to be the movie branche as it is one of the qualities that would help greatly to be sucessfull. Now whats strange: I can easily name a handfull of men that from my impression are partially sucessful in the movie branche because of their charisma. But I have a hard time with women.

Not sure if I'm biased but any ideas, similar or different impressions? Examples for charismatic women in movies?

My best explanation so far is that women are casted mainly for their appearance. But there should be at least some with charisma+look and the appearance of men counts also just not so strong.

So, anyone notices something from the video? As they are the highest stages in the system it should be easy to decide if someone feels something or nothing with a little skill in this.

Are the eye movement are normal for this?

It proves nothing but if he really goes into the stages in the video it is at least interesting.

I haven't seen much where you actually can observe an physical effect.

I can move it if you want - you'll get more replies - some people don't bother with Off Topic.

Yes please.

Samadhi is mentioned in Hinduism and Buddhism but I wasn't sure if it is known in Taoism or if they have something similar to this.

Ok, I have seen just now that the categories for Taoist discussion lists also Buddhism.

Supposedly the three highest samadhi states:

What would be an example of an intense visualization?

A seven or eight dimensional shape? It's not really clear to me how one would visualize such a thing.

Zero does not have its own space within this grid as the other numbers do. Zero is the central intersection of the two axes. In Mayan meditation one rotates this visual grid on that point. Working on the z axis or third dimension simply involves rotation of the grid. Visualization of other shapes is a matter of "opening" zero and manipulating the grid.

Is rotating the grid just around one axis or freely around the zero point?

One should give a cylinder space the other a sphere. But still such a "3d shape space" wouldn't be unifrom. Or am I understanding this wrong?

I know a method for yin yang gong that is way more effective and does not even require retention!.

In what way more effective? The result or in a faster progress?

However, in Taoist cultivation , such a dilemma can be solved by creating a pure yang mind at a new level, disentangling from the limitation of yin , that enables us to have an intelligence tenfold of a genius.

How does one create a pure yang mind?

I think they just didn't know the secrets of non-ejaculatory daoist sexual practices and neotantric sex. ie karezza.

I had the same thought. But where are the daoist/karezza geniuses?

Don't know, would be interesting to have a study on this. But on the other hand high level genius is rare.

So what kind of sexuality did these people you mentionned have as far as you/we know?

It is suspected that Leonardo and Newton were homesexual.

Tesla and Sidis were celebate or asexual.

Tesla wrote something in the direction that after sex he couldn't think as clear as he was used to and that a success/invention was much more fulfilling.

Sidis said that women never interested him.
