alright, then just let me finish off by replying with a rhetorical question: initiate of what? (you don't have to answer) i have gotten a more detailed and worthwhile answer then you can maybe imagine from you saying that than if you would have gone more indepth about it. nothing is hidden anyway from someone sincerely looking for something (so, "that's -never- the problem". (many other things are or can be, but not ever is it that which is a problem.)) in essence i was only attempting to make an interesting 'communal' conversation for everyone so thanks anyway, that's all i can say back, for the record and to make the topic again clear. and no i'm not saying that just to say something back. i really mean it.

I see. maybe a bit like uncreated pure energy 'versus' energy "in" something created and functional (something like that). cool

Cool. or a simple footbath (with (i surely Like unrefined the most) salt) it can be nice to do anyway, if you have some problem or not. hope you'll get it somewhat fixed

Hi, i would also like to know what post-heaven and pre-heaven is also, if that is okay to ask. I have some idea of what it is, just not so very completely.

hm, that's a little bit strange, because it shouldn't be doing this by itself. It sounds like, you cultivated some extra chi, but for some reason it is going to your solar plexus, you know, the problem doesn't have to be chi itself, there could be an underlying cause (unconcious, may be) that is moving the chi from one place to there. that being said, you could do some microcosmic orbit to dissolve the chi and start it moving to other places. and secondly you can ground the energy and let the earth take some of your chi too. i would do them both, in that order. and maybe others have some other tips, too hope this helps? hope you will do well again soon and please try to prepare yourself a little more in a possible next time and take it more slowly and also take your health into account, for example firstly do chi gong for health, and maybe when you are really good at that can you step up to actually storing chi for whatever reason, but do it well.

Brewer's yeast flakes / nutritional yeast flakes for B vitamins in rather huge doses. (nice on a salad with gomasio (ground salted sesame seeds) and a dressing (for example olive oil and red wine vinegar) Acerola cherry for vitamin C (1/3 teaspoon is over 100% RDA. but.... RDA isn't really enough. Read Linus Pauling his books on vitamin C (Nobel prize winner on vitamin C research) Any more recommendations?

Old post, just want to reply and add something (while trying to locate the post about the experiment of meditating in a cave (and facing magnetic north, and so on)) Peelu chewing gum doesn't have artificial sweeteners and stuff but it does have teeth cleansing components from the peelu tree By the way it's nice to go through old posts

The books by Albert Roy Davis, Walter C. Rawls - Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System - The Magnetic Effect http://www.magnetage.com/Books.html And i think some more books, but i have to look that up further then

Hello everyone, i was reading through traditional Indonesian medicine and i found this page: http://www.indotalisman.com/traditionrem.html I got interested in the medicine called "Gurah", because it can help impurities get out (always a good thing) But it's really quite difficult to find a place to be able to get it. So does anyone know where i could get it? Does anyone here know anyone who can? Or are there Indonesian people on the site? p.s. for example, the email from the site http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/30...mpany_jamu.html does not work anymore more in english: http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2002/07...elf-inside.html

Hi Santiago I am in the Netherlands Thanks again my friend froggie

Oh, but i didn't mean make rain and then get credit for it, i meant just doing something good for the earth or for many people, just something good without using external forces, just from yourself

Just a thought, but if you do something good for the earth itself, and so many people benefit from it, then you could get quite some credits i figure.

Like this? http://www.dcfirst.com/five_element_chart.html

I have caught myself of not being clear also, so i need to add some things did you mean like the "air element: from the "5 elements", i believe there is also a meridian in the body which is related to the element, and maybe you also meant the air element in nature. Probably in some combination. But maybe the elemental meridian is most important and easyest to start with first to know about and work with? ------------------- Hi Mak, sounds very reasonable to me. I mean really, because it's such a grand scale, you would do very good to compensate in everything that you can. So i would like to completely agree with you On quite a distant side note: i saw a hollywood movie yesterday about Mozes and how he parted the sea ..... I really had to think of Taoism in general when i saw that. All of these things seem possible (with a good attitude anyway, but that's also learnable, i think definately. it only takes seriousness though, it's not like graduating from some small simple test which may not even be useful to you, if i may make that example. and also, what was shown in the film quite possibly also happened, although there is also a lot of guesswork i think from the moviemakers, like how the people looked and other things. but then again, they only had quite little resources to buil their assumptions upon. By the way, very informative, Mak Tin Si. (and really very interesting) So thank you. Sincerely, froggie

can you explain more what you mean? "air element" can mean a lot of things, i'm not sure what you mean something more 'concrete' or practical or something like that? can you say how you would do it? or something like that

Excellent. Yes, thank you.

I was probably going to say something similar ..... Anyway, seriously, that's probably pretty close to what could be going on And if you don't like regular doctors you can visit extremely good alternative ones, for example ones who are walking talking herbal-nature encyclopedias annex doctors. And my best advice yet is to go see both kinds. - This, by the way, could be one small benefit of having universal healthcare, where i am, consulting a regular doctor is always free, and extra insurance for full compensation of certified alternative doctors is 'cheap', for example 5,75 per month. however, being your own healthcare is sometimes also very doable, with prices between 20 and 45 per session for various kinds of alternative doctors. (and/or etc.) (in light of being your own bank/whatever/etc, too (broaden horizons, everyone, it's not totally how others say it is (in fact, it's for certain that it's not). alternative viewpoints help, ladies and gentlemen. now just to go from there ......

No, not yet. But i have heard and read about it a bit. For example there was a cave meditation where the meditators were facing north, i think it was in the book about magnetism, i can look up the title later on. Also i think it had to do with total darkness for a long period of time also, yes? I have been thinking about doing something to at least keep the light out at night (like really good curtains and so, maybe an eye mask ..... )

Indeed, i know what you are talking about (of sorts, at least.) But besides that consideration, one could also make them disappear again and send them to other places again or 'set it free'. It is a cycle of water anyway, from water to rain to water, etc, there is never a shortage, at least not in the big scheme. Now, to have it unequally distributed FOR WHATEVER reason is not okay, yes, i agree. but then i think it should be equal anywhere. I hope you can see/appreciate the depth of my thought about this. Sincerely

Who are you calling a sheep, lemming? Also, the word 'expert' doesn't really exist. you can and will always get better while you continue to do things. What i was saying, and i see you are new here, is that mak tin si has quite some catalogical and perhaps otherwise knowledge of certain fu use. (alright, if he is an expert i should not say, but one thing i am sure about, and that is that he has more experiences with fu than i have, and, actually, to be fair, i have looked into it sometimes already, and not only from the taoist tradition, but from others too. Don't interpret my words for me please, and don't attach your own opinion to them without at least some more consideration and indepth regard. if you would, please. Do yourself, and also myself this favour. I appreciate it. Thanks. (and stuff)

But if you don't do it intentionally, well, then it could still be a part of it, but ... well, you know? but i really meant intentionally

A question. because i think you are pretty much an expert on this. if the this sort of 'bad luck' does not happen to you in your home, but in someone else's home, do you still burn the fu in your own home, or is there something else you must do then?

i like this one a lot http://www.wimp.com/insanegiirl/

it's better to speculate than to do nothing in my opinion (which isn't really an opinion but more like a way of thinking in my opinion, and *that* is an opinion ;o)) so i liked that video overall.

Mak tin si just likes to post, it's okay to like to post and to discuss, i think everyone here could have a readyness to allow that. On the other hand i see mak tin si is talking from a pretty high stool and has not a great deal consideration for others himself, (personal observation) except, mostly, when there is a deal in it for him (and moneywise nonetheless) (although he is already making a small change is what i am noticing, myself) still, i think some balance is missing, but surely mak is not the only one to blame and again still many things are relative (but that shouldn't keep you from trying to improve even if things seem relative) i think kind of a firm openness is not bad for anyone
