I don't want to no science. Science is so limited.

All I want is something to happen.

P.S.

Ok, Zhang, Thanks.

I'm looking for something to happen. All I hear is students who erm... promote.. their so enlightened masters in New York and Alabama. People talking about shooting laser beams and discussing it with friends. I mean give me a break. It's obviously not real. You just want it to work out so bad that you lie to yourselves that you feel Qi vibrations when your bowels growl or that you feel electrical currents when your feet go numb from sitting on your ass for two hours doing this stupid meditation...

First, propecia is not economical,...buy finasteride and divide into 4 (1.25mg). I've heard of no instances of breast cancer or the thickening of skin,...instead, there is a reduced likelihood of prostate cancer and thinning of the skin (an estrogen trait). In addition, 1.25mg finasteride could increase a males life span by 3-7 years, thus competitive with the life span of a healthy female. In addition,...using an herb such as White Kwao Krua along with finasteride, would also lower testosterone, thus stress,...although there would be an increased likelihood of breast development and fat redistribution similiar to females.

 

For older males who have experienced it,...the so-called adverse affects of feminizing drugs and herbs, are more pleasurable than not. It is usually younger males, who want a manly physique who see feminizing drugs and herbs as adverse. But hey, what is more manly than male-pattern-baldness? It is a sign of high testostrerone. Whereas full hair on males is a sign of low T, and sexual inadequacy,...which is perhaps why many females seek males with full youthful hair. LOL

Thinning of the skin is a sign of low estrogen. You misunderstood something that you've read.

There is no such thing like females preffering bald men more often than not. MPB is only a sign of hormone inadequacy, not of sexual one. It would seem rather counter-productive for a female to settle for a less healthier man because he's less healthier when all females are hardwired to do is to seek the best male gene they can hope to opt for their infant.

As I said lower testosterone in males is associated with diabetes and accumulation of visceral fat and coronary disease. Nothing good ever came out of low testosterone in males, hence the hormone replacement therapies. It is absolutely not true that Propecia is not associated with gynecomastia since DHT is one of the male hormones that is responsible for the inhibition of the aromatase enzyme, hence the medications for breast cancer like Masteron which are DHT-derived.

I've tried to meditate on SFQ or Mantak Chia's techniques to awaken Qi or whatever and nothing happens. Is it me or this is just so boring...

It never fails to amaze me the lengths some men will go to in an effort to keep a bit of thatch on their roof.

 

Anyone considering the use of Finasteride for hair loss should take a careful look at the following paying special attention to the section "Adverse Side effects".

 

Finasteride

Once a person stops striving for perfection he might as well be dead. Healthy looks are natural and to think that hair loss is a mere cosmetic problem would be rather weird as biochemically hair is the best indicator of a person's overall health. There are many physiological reasons for hair loss different from excess DHT. Since I'm already familiar with them I denoted in the beginning I did not want to talk medicine. Taking a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor doesn't mean that you'll only prevent DHT binding to your hair follicles but decrease the overall levels of DHT in your body as well. Now you might see that as benefitial as prostate enlargenment and male pattern baldness plus more are attributed to excess DHT. At the same time taking 5 time the recommended dose means your DHT will diminish to sub-optimal levels which will throw your free testosterone:dht:estrogen ratio out of the window. This in the long term will result in dramatic increase in the likelihood of male breast cancer, possible gynecomastia, skin thickening, diabetes and more. The funny thing is that a simple caffeine concentrate shampoo like Doppel Effekt by Alpecin will deal with DHT locally, so Propecia for hair loss is a definite overkill and I'm talking at the regular dose.

Anytime someone tries to improve themselves in anyway - these techniques can lead a person to higher states of consciousness. Doesn't matter if they are trying to lose weight, regrow hair, manifest a new job...it's all the same. When somebody concentrates on growing more hair - this can be a spiritual technique. They learn that they have control over their body. Someone on a hair growth program might start visualizing more, or meditating more...All good things. They might meet someone in a hair loss clinic who recomends a certain meditation technique - and the person might become enlightened. A person could cure their baldness - gain some confidence - and then one day use the same mindset to cure themselves of cancer. Maybe they will regrow more hair - and attract a hot spiritual wife - and the hot wife teaches the man tantra. The man could one day become enlightened because of this.

I totally agree. Tiny bits and details create the bigger picture.

Thanks a lot. Great info.

Can you also recommend some further reading please ?

Beyond that, personally, I shot a laserbeam 4ft in front of me.. (upon thinking about it, i believe it was a sort of communication between periods of time, right across the stars- well i know it was. When you're in a state of samadhi you can send shen energy, the internal laser across the present moment- externally; your sending it across the universe, providing energy-- well apparently you can do the same thing across the 'present' moment, like say years in the past)

 

 

Ok, no offense on this, because I want to believe you. But how come a person that enlightened to send laser beams all over the universe with the power to re-assign balance would be talking about it on a forum. Sounds like a geeky Buddha to me.

It's like those qigong masters who are wearing glasses and are bald and fat. You almost believe them but then you are like - "but why is he wearing glasses if he can cure cancer ?". You know what i mean ? Again no offense, I'm not saying you are not telling the truth.

See if you can find a copy of Paul Christian's (Jean Baptiste Pitois' pen name) The History and Practice of Magic... they float around on the internet for not too high a price. I would start there.

I found the 1963 version. I will order it.

Energies and forces can be harnessed and directed by the mind, intention, sound vibrations, body movements, prayers, etc.

Do you think that the sacred book of abramelin is a decent read ?

Good point.

I've read some stuff about occultism, white magic, black magic but the funny thing is that all the famous occult practitioners like Alister Crowley or Abramelin died relatively young and not particularly powerful or rich or anything ?

I don't believe in religion and yet most occultism revolves around angles and demons, so I'm really puzzled. I know that there a lot of people who practice white or black magic who will undoubtedly claim that magic exists but most of them also seem to be very miserable, sacrificing cats all day long to God knows who.

I've never seen anything miraculous enough in my life (except my life of course) to say that there are demons or angels or anything similar. What do you guys think ?

I read a bit from your other threads, your level of stress and that (at least in the past) you've used "all kinds of medication" in relation to bodybuilding (and that you've recently stopped).

 

It might benefit you a great deal to see a doctor of chinese medicine. It's quite likely that you've significantly depleted yourself in ways that a western doctor wouldn't see at all but that for a doctor of oriental medicine the symptoms would just scream out clearly. Chinese herbs (plus perhaps acupuncture), skillfully applied, might do you worlds of good over a course of time.

I really want to do that but there only two famous chinese practitioners here but they seem like scam. Found a few articles about the of people saying there weren't of much help. I will grow my own reishi mushrooms and some gotu kola, will order he shou wu as well. I really feel as something is off as you are saying. I really want to visit Mantak Chia's tao-garden and practice but can't afford it atm.

Other than that - great advice from all. Thanks.

P.S.

Also my blood pressure is weird - left hand 99/50 right hand 130/60. Went to a cardiologist, showed 120/60, doctor said it's perfect. ECG and ultrasound were fine too. Don't have any pathological growth but then I've never abused steroids, I just used twice or thrice. I've done shrooms a few times, x, a lot of weed that's all I can think of. Never drank, I hate alcohol. Just a small glass of red wine every now and then for the benefits of it.

Even though I have history with drugs, except for this short depression period I ate very clean, I'm a vegetarain I only eat unsaturated fat, I drink lots of water, replenish electrolytes etc. (you know the healthy stuff)

The only thing that bothers me (at best) is that my grandpa had a few heart attacks, my aunt has cardiomyopathy and my father purportedly died from a heart attack (but they never figured that out)

I do believe that through healthy dieting and inner peace, genetic predispositions can be beaten.

Hello again.

Probably most of you guys remember my story but for those who don't:

A Troubled Mind

and...

Total Rejuvenation

Now things are improving little by little. Because of my forementioned depression I abused my body with sugary foods, pastries etc. So I decided to clean myself up. Started a new diet + fasting to clean this mess.

Anyway, this is probably stress related but I'm starting to lose hair in the front part of my head. Now that would be very understandable if I was the typcial male pattern baldness male but that's not the case. My hair looks like this -

I know it's a minor issue compared to people having cancer and HIV but I really don't want to see the only good thing that I inherited from my grandma go away. I mean shes 70 or something now and most of her hair is still black, so I don't think I'm prone to hair loss. In fact when I decided to grow my hair long it was so thick it would stay straight like Marge Simpson. It was just so thick that there wasn't enough space for all the hairs and I would lose handfuls of hair everytime I combed and showered and still not see a difference.

I won't settle for mediocre hairline and if I can't restore it I'll probably go short hair again.

I'm not very convinced that synthetic treatments like minoxidil etc. work plus there is more than enough info on it on the net, so there's no need to discuss it here.

What do you guys think I should do ? Herbal remedies ? Nettle root decoction, Vitamins, Eggs ? Meditation ? Is there any healing or cleansing that I can perform that will probably give back the life to my hair follicles ? Thanks.

There is Hiking, Rafting, Bareback riding everything you want. Maybe I should start something like this.

My heart is fine, I'm just suffering from anxiety issues.

What should I do if I focus too much on my heart rate during meditation ?

I'm 22. Ok I won't share a word from now on. Just sit and practice what you gave me. Thank you all for the good advice. Be well.

I tried muting my inner voice on the way home yesterday and it felt pretty damn strange. All thoughts that appeared in my mind I would imagine as rapidly falling into pieces. Instead of harmony I reached a dark psychopatic trance. Very weird right ? I thought "Hmm. I doubt this is what the guys meant by letting go".

It's nice but I like cooked tofu more.

In a God forsaken country called Bulgaria...

If I get accepted at Columbia University I'll be in NY. Till then though, I'm not an US resident.

Ok I think I'm starting to get it.

But how do you fuel discipline if you let go of motivation and wanting. I'm ok with letting go of feelings but want to remain productive at the same time ?

I have to say though motivation and wanting seem to be two very ill feelings as they seem productive only at first glance and now when I think of it all things that I've accomplished were when I would mute my inner voice. But I can still feel something is missing, something is wrong... I don't seem to be able to progress at the pace that I want. For now I'll just follow your advice guys, seems you know what I'm talking about.

P.s.

Def gonna watch groundhog day and try knitting.

I think becoming who you really are by letting go of all that is false is one of the bravest things you can do because you are rebelling against all your parental and society pressures and conditionings so you risk loosing everything by walking on your own.

Well I've never believed in what my parents wanted me to be. I tried but it just isn't me. And what I sit and talk to my mom she just does not understand me man. How is it possible to be so different from the one who gave birth to you. Sometimes I wonder if I'm adopted or something. Not that I care about it... Anyway what you say feels a lot like what I'm looking to achieve but I feel so lonely sometimes doubting everything and you know... finding my own truths and trying to create my own world inside of this one.

If you go chasing many birds at the same time, you wont catch any. Your desire to do all these things is what is getting in the way of what you could be doing right now instead of doing what you could do eventually in the future. That's why taoists do wu wei and wait for that right bird to land in their hand. Just relax and observe, I bet right now there is somewhere a bird waiting to land on your shoulder but you are scaring it.

I get it man, but I'm constantly afraid that life's too short to just sit and observe if you know what I mean. I have this fear in me that once I hit 40 it's over when it comes youthful energies and capabilities. I have this fear that in regards of energetic development one must start very young if he's to achieve something trully great different than "Hey I just started meditating and my back doesn't hurt anymore. It's really great to be a spiritual person..." You know what I mean, to me this is as pathetic as my current struggles.

Cameron I'm very thankful, don't mean to disrespect any advice here.

Sinfest, yes I'm ready to lose all the unneccesary baggage. How do I know what's important and what's not though, when everything that I do now and want seems to have came up in my mind at a certain point in the time, because of what I want to accomplish ?

Like for example building a strong body in order to withstand higher energies. I know most of the practitioners are very conservative when it comes to physical development but I have always been inspired by these great muscular guys on the animes you see who possess infinite powers.

What about letting go of wanting to study biochemistry and medicine when there is a great possibility that one might be able to understand his body to a much greater extent if he studies both medicine and chinese practices. I have always believed that the secret lies in getting the best of both worlds and finding the balance.

What about letting go of wanting to create businesses and get richer when you know you need money to travel the world and pay tuition and gym and life and food and everything costs money.

I don't know I'm pretty confused when it comes to what's really important. I know I'm carrying a lot of unneccesary burden on my shoulders. In fact I've been throwing stuff out of my room just so I can clear my mind. Old TVs, junk, old clothes etc. Want it to be as simple as possible.

This all might appear as if I'm longing for all this power so I can dominate humanity or something like that but this couldn't be further from the truth. In reality I want to be as strong as possible so I can help weaker people and so I can build a place or a village or something like that in the mountains where people who seek inner harmony are welcome. I want to be protector of the weak and a guide for the restless minds but as you can see I'm nowhere near being ready for such a responsibility. I know I've watched one too many movies and played too much games when I was younger, but just imagine how cool it would be if you could live in real harmony with nature and animals and the goodness in this world and the universe. And when I say harmony I don't just mean go live in the woods, I mean attune to the energies of the nature and communicate with it.

It's just that there is hardly any magic left in this world. Everthing is so mundane and gray. Everything is economics, oil prices etc. In my opinion it's simply boring. For me having a goal of raising a family and buying a sedan and a house is simply boring and a waste of life. I don't want to be one of those guys who just "grow up" and accept that having a day job and going to the Alpes to have a ski vacation every now and then is all there is to life
