It's just a jump to the left and a step to the right, put your hands on your hips.

I like what you have said.

 

But I think it's important to point out that the bit in bold is not necessarily so. In fact, it rarely is.

 

Developing virtue is a practice in its own right - and it doesn't automatically come with spiritual cultivation. In fact, at certain stages in the process, the exact opposite can and does manifest...

 

That's why there are so many creepy, gregarious and non-virtuous Daoist practitioners with skill out there. (And just as many - if not more, from other traditions - so it's certainly not exclusively Daoist!)

If we teach non virtuous people we will have bad karma that would ruin our own lives, it against the rules of transmission.

If we teach kindness, forgiveness, compassion then we have someone to teach. True virtue is not virtuous it happens with out thought or agenda it is just who we are without convention, true virtue.

When we see creepy, gregarious and non-virtuous Daoist practitioners they obviously have no real skill and not able to be given transmission. Traditional lineages weed out the garden fast so those types of people can not be taught.

I am surprised there is not a martial art section...Tao of the fist.  After all this is the broadsword (Dao) Bums.

Sword play anyone? I enjoy walking on the seven stars as the fairy points the way.

More Pie being mentioned is hilarious. Summer on TDB gotta love it. Conflict and struggle reign supreme at least nature is not conflicted or struggling itself over change.

That was zen this is Tao

I have the present for everyone for this event, it is always with you.

How do you like the present? 

Day and night is at the same time it does not matter where we are standing. 

We cannot have light without others in the dark and we can not have dark without others in the light.

Our light is always shining in this present event day and night.

I like this event thanks for the invite!

The original human nature is kindness.  Chinese spirituality talks of a physical being rather than an intellectual one.  It literally refers to the Spirit in you and cultivating the physical health to the optimum level to nourish the invisible spiritual being.

How do you sense and communicate with your own spirit?  We may not be able to because our material life can block out our power to do so.  Alchemy opens the door for communication and lets it fly out.  It improves our compassion, forgiveness and mercy. 

There is an invisible super being inside us.  Alchemy supplies nutrition to our spirits.  Initially there are no visual signs but if we keep it up then the changes will show up.  Never stop practicing.

All this talk of yuan chi is missing the point of it all. compassion forgiveness mercy being a better person overall, In and beyond this physical plane, pure energy with and without form.

These are some words from my teacher of the Dragon Gate long Men Pei of Mount Wudang. You have struck gold and silver is not good enough. Rara remember what you have learned on Wudang and do not deviate or let others mislead you. You are the best!

All things in balance and harmony, the center of the compass, no movement the body is dead. So the marionette is dead or is it moved by spirit that benefits all things. No polarity is the center of the compass, we move from the center and the world is illuminated without beginning or end. Extreme shifts in polarity is called an unbalanced person or un- grounded or spacey person.

I despise the aspect of the far-right that believes they are racially superior, or that wants to inflict harm on Jews, non-whites, whatever.  They are evil.  However, I also loathe the far-left element that attacks people wearing Trump hats, believes that they are racially superior (there are plenty of black, hispanic, and Jewish supremacists out there).  Communism is just as disgusting as Nazism.  Communism has a significantly higher death count, after all, and though Nazism is more obviously corrupt, Communism is subtle and deceptive, but ultimately results in the same totalitarian, oppressive, death camp scenario.

 

If this post was against extremism of all sides, I would be all for it.  If one is seeing clearly and being honest with themselves, they cannot deny there is an extremist, hate-filled faction of BOTH SIDES. 

 

IMO, the hidden rulers of the world WANT there to be the extremes on both sides, so that a conflict can emerge that they can capitalize on, taking away peoples' liberties, getting more power and money for themselves.  The Nazis and the Commies are both useful idiots.  Having constructive conversations, trying to find common ground, love and forgiveness, these things will save us.  Of course, we need laws that will get rid of people actively practicing and planning violence, but that doesn't mean we need to silence everyone we disagree with.  People need to be more discerning, rational, and not so emotionally reactionary.

 

Even though I am of the right (though I have some left-leaning opinions), I have plenty of liberal friends and politics never makes me think less of somebody unless they are trying to force their beliefs, or they legitimately are filled with hate & violent thoughts, which is pretty rare in reality.

There are many forums for political discussions. Politics are not my interest on TDB and I do not want politics at all on this site IMO

also IMO politics are for bottom feeders my life is way above agenda pre conceived thought control and the rest that goes along with it.

Who is moving this Chi? If you or me are moving this chi others and self are harmed. If spirit / Shen is moving this Chi all things are benefited.

We should know what is holding the strings of our marionette bodies. The internal government must be in order.

Chi is the steam coming of the cooked rice. Fire can transform food and more. If the water is on top of the fire we can cook rice but we need to put a lid on it and control the fire, a low slow burn. There is no difference in alchemy the principle of fire and water remains the same... The song remains the same. If we can cook rice we can increase our chi.

It seems the rules and guidelines of this site are non political. Radical right wing bullshit extremist is not the way. The way of nature at extremes will revert back in the opposite direction to maintain balance. We are restoring balance. Look past the words. Using political terms is targeted at all the political bullshit on this site.

There are many forums for political discussions. Politics are not my interest on TDB and I do not want politics at all on this site IMO

Humanity's needs are the same in every country of this world. 

We are all born with vitality, energy and spirit. Post heaven Chi can damage these three treasures. post heaven chi comes form the  social constructs, environment, diet, stress, thoughts all these can damage the three treasures. Stress is the major cause of Jing loss. Jing is not sexual energy we have jing  before we have a body and after we have a body.

The reversal is going back through the gate of life become a child again. The physical training increases the quality and quantity of the three treasures, guard them and keep them safe.

Neidan training is the life and death solving methods. Developing our self awareness of how our body works. Knowing what dies and what is immortal. Many people put a lot of effort into what dies.

Stillness training of Neidan is not for everyone. Sitting in solitude and fasting for many days at a time. Having  an authentic master who has verified all the steps and dissolved all barriers is the only way to learn neidan. Just like if one wants to be a chef or any trade one must be taught by someone skilled and apply all the skills for themselves before becoming a master of the trade.

Everything written is pointing at something only we can enter the gate for ourselves. Then the words become nonsense and useless because really we are all pointing at something beyond words and beyond this physical realm. 

Sorry about the rant Marblhead just told me to sit down and shut up!

We may have turned a corner on this thread.

 

Started out with the shock of the sanctions imposed and outrage over the justice or injustice of those sanctions. We worked our way through the personal rights questions.

 

The conversation seems to have evolved to ... How can we best deal with sensitive issues in a respective civil manner. A lot ideas have been offered. Should be enough common ground now to formulate a new direction.

 

Very encouraging Bums!

As long as everyone agrees with me on sensitive issues we will not have a problem.

If anyone disagrees with my very narrow point of view because it is really all about me, that is right the "me" that is delusional enough to think of myself as separate to all things. Those people are Fu@#ed up.

Seriously I love the new direction of TDB the new and improved version that can make this site a magical place to be... or not

I have no interest in politics and polarized views so I am loving the whole no more right wing bullshit. We have members from across the globe so we should be a bit more progressive and not consumed by american politics it is embarrassing.Consumerism is very american and it is consuming Tao Bums. Being open minded, live and let live that is very TDB to me.

Hi Ming Jen,

 

Yes ~ be it (a) Jing Chi Shen or (b) the chakras.

 

 

When (a) is ONE and... (b) is ONE... (a) + (b)... are also ONE? 

 

The body is ONE but the mind divides the body?

 

The mind also differentiates one body from another?

 

The mind may divide but it can also unite...

 

- Anand

 

Love it! Mind garbage needs to be taken out and disposed of properly. Unite and conquer 

Start at the foundation. Movement is directed from the lower field, the center. if the center was the middle field one is top heavy and easily thrown of balance. the root of power is resistance of the earth and suspension of heaven. humanity is in the middle

We could  view the middle field as a womb that gives birth to the immortal fetus with alchemy training.

speaking specifically about post heaven of acquired energy men  work on the lower field associated with ego the main culprit for men and women work on middle field associated with emotions the main culprit for women.

Jing Chi and shen we call them 3 but in reality they are one energy when they divide we have trouble when the unite we give birth to the the immortal spirit or at least a better person and better health.

These energies have no physical location they are merely associated with the three demi physical locations known as the lower middle and upper fields.

This is the same for chakra system no physical location they are associated with locations and also a color that doesn't really exist we are born with these energies before we have a body to talk about.

Chakra means wheel they do not open or close they spin the higher frequency attract higher things into our lives

Supreme ultimate boxing or Tai Chi Chuan is a martial art. Energy work or  Chi Gung is the ammunition. Tai chi chuan is how to fire the weapon. Both should be practiced together.

Entry level is chi gung advanced level is Tai Chi Chaun or other internal martial arts.

All of the same energetics, moving with proper body mechanics, removing the stinky chi of post heaven energy are practiced and applied with chi gung and Tai Chi.

Chi Gung are short sets or single semi static postures Beginners do well with chi gung to get the right muscle memory and way of proper moving. Repetition is used to train the subconscious mind so we do not need to think about the movements then we get to the energetic level. Once we reach this level performing one movement or a short set is no longer sufficient to advance to higher levels of intuitive knowledge of chi and how to direct it.

Are we practising swimming underwater? we live in the air of pure energy 90% of our energy comes from breathing otherwise there would be nothing left to eat on earth.

Breathing should be pumped by the abdomen slow, long. smooth transitions in and out just like the yin yang symbol. . If your ears can hear your breathing it is being done wrong.

I advocate the 9 ways of breathing each has a purpose but retention is a bad word no matter how we put the word retention in a sentence.

I was hoping this was a seven star sword thread reading the title.

Are we talking about after completing the da gong for the Heavenly Set, Human Set, and Earthly Set that these three sets of da gong make the body strong like iron provided that the training is done well?

If so the degree of proficiency is a gradual process, which takes years. The end result is illustrated in the ability to do long, high jumps, withstand kicks, punches and falls without the risk of injuries. Direct strikes are fatal when combined with Fa Jin

Does liking her music make you a sadist?

 

Yes,  and this is the kind of abuse that I receive even from you on this site with no support from admin at all. 

Sade has produced some incredibly sexy and erotic music. Could it get any worse??? Pictures of pie! Songs about pie! Not cool people.

This is unjust  which is knowingly real and/or defamatory, accurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, things about pie, obscene, profane, threatens or incites my emotions, invasive of my personal privacy,  pictures, or otherwise that violate  any of the made up laws in my special interest, will not be tolerated.

Not to derail this thread BUT (I am) I have found a way to cook pie with yin chi> so with a copper wire insert into the ground inside a tent with no bottom, wire must be in the actual earth, run the copper wire into your hole at the bottom of the oven and bake at 350 for one hour.

The results are mo pie forever filled with the lovely essence of yin chi. Scientist, doctors and lawyers and  maybe a fireman must be present for authentic mo pie cooking using the copper wire, yin chi method. Happy cooking to all.

NOOOOO!

Really Pilgim you had to go there. I am so un friending you and starting a thread on how your abusive behavior is unacceptable and that you should be banned from the site for at least one hour.

Kar3n stepping down is like telling birds not to fly. Long live the Queen! 

It has been proven over time that kar3n does an excellent job at a very important task as moderator for this site.

If anything needs to go I would vote for this thread to be gone.

By posting I am doing the opposite so deal with it Kar3n this is payback for posting pictures of pie. You know my weakness for pie and take advantage of my emotions on purpose with no mercy!

You are not captive in your own body, your body exists within your greater non-physical consciousness, of all that you truely are, your physical consciousness is small extension of your greater non-physical consciousness. re. 

This is the point I am making. We as humanity are not captive we are being programed from birth to use a mode of mind and thinking that allows itself to be controlled in others interest. It is not complicated.
