  1. If you want to help others...

    How good is it to help people especially when your help resulted in imposing on others that must continue to help and help even if they do not wish to do so? How wonderful was it that people drowning in Mediterranean seas be helped from drowning? A hundred saved encouraged a hundred thousands to go to the Med sea to be saved since theyknow they be saved. Then a million more be encouraged to do so as why should they stay to fight ISIS or whatever ^%$##%^&& regime? How about another 5 millions more? They get more to eat, more to spend without having to lift a finger of theirs, all paid for by other people who got to work harder then before. So now we all see a tsunami of begging bowls flooding into Europe with their niqabs and burkas siphoning off money that will now go to them instead of other courses such as wild life and earthquake relief in Nepal so that those begging bowls and niqabs and burkas can get heated tents. What more? jacuzis for them as well? Idiotic Taoist more and more believing in Yangzi who will not pluck a hair from his head even if that meant helping the entire world
  2. Yes! Very possible. In fact there are devices designed to increase your chi with electricity to the extent you need not worry about mundane stuff like drinking when thirsty or eating when hungry or even fornicating when horny. I am sure you can buy them from USA surplus as they switched to doing injections now. That can be a real out of the world experience when you get your friend to throw that switch on.

  4. No such thing as security?

    If you want certainty, you will have the certainty that changes will always be inevitable and the only constant that you will live with. Idiotic Taoist full of certainty and happy to throw those pearls left and right
  5. I should set the background for the above. Ivan my cat, but now residing in a little off white porcelain jar, used to love his meridian and just about every where beaten by what I called the doink doink. I should have patented this and flog it off to Internet a few years ago and gotten filthy rich and hosannas and palm leaves waved over me and my sermons with other things I should have patented. I could have become a billionaire. But I did not , which is why I called myself the Idiotic Taoist Oberon - Plans are like wishes // Turning Sieben into a lap cat // I Should be sadistic to Ivan? Doing my usual plagiarising of myself, so folks here need not click above unless you have puerile curiosity I extract to below A doink doink is a Chinese kind of massage ball on a stick and spring. The ball is made of hard plastic with spikes. It looked like the morning star that medieval warriors used to clobber each other on the head. I called that a doink doink from the noise it made when you use that to hit your arm or leg. Sieben loved being whacked by that. I learned that from Ivan. For that matter, Dommie and Katie loved that doink doink too. Sieben getting tummy rubs (too lazy to cut & paste. You go into above livejournal URL to see that) Sieben getting back rubs and chin rubs (too lazy to cut & paste. You go into above livejournal URL to see that) I felt short changed. Doing all that for Sieben. Look at Ivan. Ivan was the best masseur of all my kitties. And there I was, massaging that Sieben instead. Ivan treading on me (too lazy to cut & paste. You go into above livejournal URL to see that) I mentioned Sieben would do figure of 8s not only about my ankles when I prepared the mash for he and Ivan. Sieben would do figure of 8 about my knee and thighs. I never figured how Sieben did that. But my wife shot some short videos of that. (too lazy to cut & paste. You go into above livejournal URL to see that) Ivan is a true masochistic cat. He loved being whacked hard by that doink doink. That was from years ago when we all were living in HongKong. Ivan would curl around my ankle and scream and moan in delight. What is your advice to me? That I do not whack Ivan at all? That I should be sadistic to Ivan? You heard of that saying? The worse thing a sadist can do to a masochist is to do nothing at all! And I do love my Ivan, my kittie of 18 years, and could I repay his wonderful treading and massaging of me by doing nothing to him? Those of weak stomach should not watch! And those that watch should watch it all, his returning to me to be doink doink and his obvious pleasure in that. Idiotic Taoist who must be an Idiot as he did not become a billionaire
  6. Taoism have karmic laws like Buddhism?

    Hmmmm.. .. You seem so definative on that NO that I felt must be directly from your first hand experience. Perhaps your fixation on short skirts and bikinis derived from one of your former life where you wore them, maybe under your chador and burka. Do not even need to use IChing or Ouija board to ask you as you freely tell all here your experiences. I tend to agree with your aint got no 72 cherry boys up there as otherwise, why should you come away from that place which must have been paradise for you. Idiiotic Taoist scratching his head in wonderment certain that marblehead is not HOMO SAPIENS NON URINAT IN VENTUM
  7. The Importance of Having a Live Teacher

    Except those words cannot mean anything , unless you have been taught well in the first place by a living Master. A most fundamental aspect of taijichuan will be sung yeow juo kuan which will be mumbo jumbo and impossible to comphrehend regardless if ten thousand words were written on that. Some of my rants on this topic. Even though written as part of a dialogue in a forum many many years ago. http://www.shanlung.com/oldtaijichuan.html Idiotic Taoist
  8. Taoism have karmic laws like Buddhism?

    It is not good even to hazard a guess. Information must be given first hand or it will just be like pissing into the wind aka HOMO SAPIENS NON URINAT IN VENTUM 3 main hurdles that prevent me from answering you. I need to go for a sex change, something I do not care to do I need to be a muslim but I love to eat pork and as I do not care to don a hijab I need to keel over, which might then prevent me from reporting here first hand unless you use an Ouja board to contact me Perhaps Google can be asked, but only if you know all 3 conditions above fulfilled by Google Taoistic Idiot not inclined to wear hijab and who love to eat pork
  9. Taoism have karmic laws like Buddhism?

    Do a Carter and be satisfied just with lust in the heart. Or be a Taoist and have them all coming to you, 72 virgins and angels. You can ask them to leave the harps at the door. And in Taoist heaven, remember the prime rule. Everything in moderation. Idiotic Taoist
  10. How to attain Bliss?

    Failing that, can always ask Google Taoistic Idiot gleefully aware that ignorance is bliss and wondering why people disdain that road
  11. This practice came from ancient China in the good old times when a guy can have 5-6 wives. The wife chosen for the night will have a red lantern hang over her door to signal to one and all she will be the one for that night. And she got to get an expert to doink doink at her feet. I plagiarised from one of my Livejournal entries Doink doink // food management //Oberon - Ending this chapter Doink Doink I so nearly wanted to write in last report where I first saw that doink doink being used. But I did not as it was so difficult to explain. Tiffani of www.vogelforen.de not only brought that up :-), she even went as far as to locate on youtube that particular part where the doink doink was used. In her words. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa By the way... You write at your journal: "...Or one inch bundle of thin stalks were used for the beating...." I saw this "meridian doing doing" vor many...many years in an very long, depressing, traditionell film. It called in german: red lantern At the first sekond you can see the meridian doing doing, in the old tradition Look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh-N1HgeOjQ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Tiffani, thank you so much. That was from a hauntingly beautiful and bitterly sad movie. The title of that movie was Raise the Red Lantern (simplified Chinese: 大红灯笼高高挂; traditional Chinese: 大紅燈籠高高掛; pinyin: Dà...Hóng..Dēnglóng..Gāo..gāo...Guà) .........Big. .Red...Lantern...High..high..hung That translated to Hang the Red Lantern High , or Hang the Red Lantern, or Raise the Red Lantern, or just the Red Lantern. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raise_the_Red_Lantern That is a 1991 film directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Gong Li. It is an adaption by Ni Zhen of the 1990 novel Wives and Concubines by Su Tong. In the past good old days when wives were to walk 5 mincing steps behind the husband and master, the husband and master was entitled to have many wives. And when the husband was to spend the night with one of the wives, a big red lantern was to be hung up high over the door of her room to signify the honour. To prepare the wife for the evening, she would be given a special foot massage by being beaten on the sole of the feet with the doink doink which was an exquisite delight. It is strange to read of torture of prisoners by being whacked on the sole of the feet. I guess too much of a good thing can be very bad. Master and wives all have dinner together first, but the one to be slept with would decide what dishes she would like for that communal dinner. Kind of rubbing that in for the other wives. Described as "one of the landmark films of the 1990s" by Jonathan Crow of Allmovie,[16] where it received 5 stars, since its release Raise the Red Lantern has been very well received. James Berardinelli named it his 7th best film of the 1990s.[17] It has a 96% certified fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes[18] and TV Guide gave it 5 stars. The film has also been praised for its artistic merit. Desson Howe of The Washington Post states that "In purely aesthetic terms, "Raise the Red Lantern" is breathtaking"[22] and James Berardinelli states that "the appeal to the eye only heightens the movie's emotional power". John Hartl of Film.com describe it to be "a near-perfect movie that often recalls the visual purity and intensity of silent films."[18] Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raise_the_Red_Lantern That can be a spoiler. Do not worry about that being a spoiler. Artistically the movie is incredible, and that really got to be seen , and knowing the story line will not detract from that. 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 So one need not have ailments to have this doink doink done. I cannot write first hand on this experience. Perhaps if I was in the past and one of the Empress of China's 5 or 6 toyboys and consort, and if I am chosen by her for the night, I might get to chose the dish that I want and get an expert with doink doink to do a number on my feet so I can report to the august audience here. Idiotic Taoist while able to eat when hungry and drink when thirsty, can only fornicate if she is horny

    More on those 2 black holes http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3238191/Cosmic-death-spiral-Monster-black-holes-distant-galaxy-set-collide-blast-100-million-times-bigger-supernovae.html Cosmic death spiral: Monster black holes in distant galaxy are set to collide with a blast 100 million times larger than a supernovae The black holes are orbiting each other in a space not much bigger than our own solar system at nearly seven per cent of the speed of light.
  13. Taoism have karmic laws like Buddhism?

    Ah! You must tell me more of your brand of Taoism. The Taoism that I only know guide me only to eat when hungry and drink when thirsty and fornicate when horny. I must have missed the forest for the trees and missed an entire congregation of dancing gorillas in the bush On the other hand, Taoism might be the most materialistic belief system. Buddhism dangled the promise of Nirvana in front of you. Islam hold the possibility of 72 virgins to entice you. Christianity offer harps, wings and angels for you to go and sing eternal glorifications to God. Taoism promised me no less than the entire Universe will be merged into me and be with me. I have that Nirvana and harps and angels and the 72 virgins as well Taoist Master Tseng Lao Weng words Plunge the finite into the infinite and, though only one remains, the finite, far from being diminished, takes on the stature of infinity. Such perception will bring you face to face with the true secret cherished by all the accomplished sages. The mind of one who returns to the Source thereby BECOMES the Source. Your own mind is DESTINED TO BECOME THE UNIVERSE ITSELF!' Taoistic Idiot dreaming of sitting on Pillars of Creation and watching a couple of black holes spiralling to their death and rebirth
  14. But I get closer to immortality with each passing day and passing year in my life. Naturally. And all I need to do is to eat when hungry and drink when thirsty and yes, fornicate when horny. Smelling roses and watching sunrises and sunsets in between the eating and drinking and fornicating Idiot on the Path who might have got it all wrong
  15. Which part of me do I slap and bang away to rid the Idiotism that I am afflicted with? Taoistic Idiot wanting to slap the idiotism away and becoming a mere run of the mill dime a dozen Taoist
  16. How do Taoists handle enemies?

    Let Wu Wei be the guiding light in such situation. Beat the shit out of him and back into him, for proper balancing of his Ying and Yang. Walk on and think no more of that situation as a man on the path of Wu Wei will do. Idiotic Taoist not prepared to start troubles but ready to end troubles
  17. How do Taoists handle enemies?

    Correct approach if you desire to extend your natural life without all the efforts of dantien breathing and wheezing like asthmatic dragons and meditations. You know only the good die young. So if you do not do evil things, think evil thoughts at the very least. Like tripping that darling old lady when she crosses at traffic lights or putting a wheel lock on the wheelchair when the old guy not looking. Guaranteed you live longer as you no longer good and less danger of dying young. Idiotic Taoist with desire to extend life
  18. What Results Do People Here Have From Training?

    I was amused by what is discovered and happening now. 2 black holes spiralling to their deaths, or rebirths. Black Holes Slug it Out in Quasar Deathmatch Ah!! To get that ringside seat! Taoistic Idiot yearning for that ringside seat
  19. Nice try. I fornicate whenever I feel horny. Since I feel horny often, my fornication has been often. A bit less from my past when I feel horny very very often. When ever I call my birds to fly to me, it started first sending a clear mental image of her flying to me when I called out. Go into my web pages in my signature to see that for yourself. I told my wife that but could not get her to believe in me, your nice darling hubby. So I told her I would not use my voice and then she said the birdie flew to me because birdie was bored and wanted to fly to me. I then told her when I gave my mental call, I raised the little finger of my left hand to show her the time of my mental calling. Wify then said I twitched the little finger and birdie attracted by that. I then told her I raised my right thumb at time of mental call and was accused by wify that the jerking of right thumb attracted the birdie. I did the only solution possible which was to nod my head and said 'Yes, dear" Of course, for those wanting to collect sexual energy etc etc, they must add a mantra chant to that. I telepathtically sending that mantra out and only those receptive will know that chant. Idiotic Taoist with nothing to do as he is not thirsty and not hungry and not horny now either
  20. Fragments of earlier memories of Taiwan http://shanlung.livejournal.com/111670.html I first thought I should hold off placing this here for another couple of months or so. By which time I guess folks here know me a lot better. Then I thought , no matter how well you know me, what is contained in the above will be paradigm shift from all that I write and will write about here. I also being reading through the threads, some dealing on Immortals and strange stuff. Except that was based on folk lore and vivid imaginations. I can only say what I wrote was downplayed by me. I wrote a lot less than what happened. Against my beliefs, I have met an Immortal on Earth Who came to help me later when I invoked him. And a place wiith strange entities, entities that reached even into my camera and wife's camera, PC and Internet. I cannot tell you more than what I recorded. That was written for my beastie and birdie forum friends. Which was a lot worse for them and mentally, they were not prepared for that at all. They all did not know what to say. I do not know what you all will say here, even if you are probably better prepared mentally for that. The Taoistic Idiot aka Shanlung 山 龍 Mountain Dragon http://shanlung.com/
  21. Fragments of earlier memories of Taiwan

    I felt what I wrote into another thread should be placed here as well aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa From http://thedaobums.com/topic/27581-immortals/ Perhaps it might be a telling of me to let go. Those who read above would have known that Immortal I met gave me a momento of a Milofor.in 1991 That was always with me. kept in my backpack which you have seen in almost all my blogs. Then in Oct 2014 , I was in Nepal Khatmandu. I stayed there a while to enjoy that city after an absence of 30 years or so. That was also about the time of the Dashain, a festival that celebrate the victory of good over evil. So naturally I stayed on for that delaying my going to Pokhara and going on the Annapunna trek. The 8th day of Dashain , Maha Ashtami: Wednesday, 21-10-2015 , was a big day that involved in the beheading of countless buffalos and goats. I was at that 30 years ago. In the days when cameras are loaded with rolls of 36 shots and this time I had electronic camera loaded with countless shots. I was in the Khatmandu Durbar Square and on top platform of one of the pavilions. My money and passport was in body belt and pouch hang on my neck. My backpack had nothing of value compared to what I that I had safely on my body. That backpack still had about 3-400USD I considered as loose change of SGD and Malaysian Ringgits, and tele photo lense of my Olympus. I left the backpack on the ground next to my leg as I sat on the step. A commotion came and the Kumari, the living Goddess of Nepal was walking. Since she was a Goddess and her feet must not touch the ground. So they were placing rolls of silk on the ground and a huge crowd was around her. Even on top of the platform, I could barely see her. I stood up to try to get some shots of her. It was only a couple of seconds. And in that couple of seconds my bag was gone. I cared little for the money left in the bag or the telephoto lens. My priceless Milofor was in that bag. Maybe thrown away after they strip it of money, tele lens and my Buck folding knife. I made offer of 1000 USD for the return via the friendly staff of the place in stayed in (Secret Garden). I was actually prepared to pay more, 5 times more. I have to accept eventually that I never will see that Milofor again. Maybe that was for the good. Maybe I should not remain attach to anything or object. And anyway, that Milofor , with that Immortal, remain forever with me in my heart. Idiot on the Path
  22. Is personality unique to humans? I have seen how different Riamfada was from Tinkerbell. And the differences between the cats in my life. Now this article from BBC. And below taken from that article which might give you folks food for thoughts. Individual animals display different personalities across a range of species, including mammals,fish, birds, insects and mollus These personality traits control whether individual animals are leaders or followers, bold or shy, aggressive or passive, for example. As with people, some animal's personalities change as they age What fascinate me was that those researchers found that even so-called low life forms like insects and molluscs have different personalities. What more with parrots more intelligent than the great apes and dolphins. Kind of ludicrous that folks can think they know so much of parrots in general because they go through a behaviourlogyaeiou course/courses and therefore not only they know all but can tell all what their birds are like and should be like without seeing or knowing their birds. That no need to listen to your birds, just listen to them as they know all that is to be known. Reminded me of Victorian scientists who just gotten toe hold in analytical science and proud that their laboratories can refine substances and test substances to 99.99% purity. Should a computer silicon chip be given to them, they will test it and declare they know all that is to know about it and that the purity is 99.99% and strut around petting themselves on their back. They would not realise the purity of silicon in chip is 99.999999% and that it is the 0.000000001% impurity of less than made the silicon chip more than just silicon and gave it soul and brains. Above was written by me into birdie forums. And as said before, I injected enough Tao into those forums without folks there even realising I was hitting them over the head with Tao. So in view of love of plagiarisers of works of other people, I felt I might as well plagiarise my writings into here too to show I can plagiarise as well as their favourite plagiarisers. Might even be a convenient point for my enemies and claimers of mantles of Quanzheng to hit out at me and to put the fear into me of their pointy elbows and crooked shoulders. Even if to accuse me of not toeing the Tao , as if they are arbiters of what is Tao. Your Taoistic Idiot
  23. Is personality unique to humans?

    Why am I not surprised by above video posted by zerostao. Almost like asking if Laotze and Chuangtze were Taoist or not. You have seen from time to time, my life intertwined with birds regardless if bills were hooked or straight and from my heart, they are not just smart, they are intelligent sentients maybe differing from us because of their different cultural backgrounds. Here is one episode from Tinkerbell. Which was never repeated since then. That it happened even once was enough for me and never forgotten. I doubt those who read that incident can forget that either Tinkerbell Revisited - The beyond humaness of Tinkerbell Idiotic Taoist still beyond words to describe what was experienced
  24. Taoism have karmic laws like Buddhism?

    Please run that pass me again. My apologies that as I am a self confessed idiot and therefore not very clever. That what is written in wiki, or placed in wiki carry a lot more weight than words from a recognised and reknowned Taoist Master like Tsen Lao Weng And what of those pious recluses who rattle mallets against wooden-fish drums from dusk to dawn, groaning out liturgies like cholera-patients excreting watery dung? They are penitents longing to rid themselves of a burden they never had. And will Taoism be definative because some entities wrote of that in Wikipedia? and that you quote that next as your version? But again, who am I to speak against you who sincerely believe in karma? Why not you go into Buddhism or Christianity and wear a hair shirt and flagellate yourself to cleanse yourself of the sins and karmas (even if you do not believe in rattling mallets against wooden fish drums from dawn to dusk) that you felt to be crawling out not just from your nooks and crevices but of everyone else nooks and crevices and who must be dragged kicking and screaming into your particular brand of karmic laden Taoism? How can one be on the Path of Wuwei and Tze Ran if the mind must perpetually wrestle with burdens that they never had but want to self inflict themselves with? To each their own demons and their own roads. Idiotic Taoist happy to eat when hungry , drink when thirsty and fornicate when horny as wu wei and tzerun as can be.
  25. Wu Wei

    Wuwei was what I lacked into getting deeper into taijichuan. I lacked other aspects as well. I expanded on what I written earlier into here. But again what I wrote is not likely to help you into martial arts except as a window into a part of my life. As last said, Some stuff I wrote long ago on my experience in taijichuan even longer ago might amuse you even if that is not likely to be any guide to you. http://thedaobums.co...n-styles/page-4 Idiotic Taoist on fragments of memories of peng li ji ann
