Just to update you,
My wife’s license plates are LOPLANI and mine says LAO TZU.

Loplani is a rabbit immortal. He ascended into the higher realms after living 9x longer than ordinary rabbits int he wild.

Rabbits are the best pets for serious meditators because they don’t bark or meaow. Silence is their modus operandi. They are in deep…[Read more]

Spongebob,
I was deep in an Easter petting reverie with my rabbit whenI heard your question on the inner planes. Easter, by the way, is an old pagan Water and Fire celebration of the Oestrus, the rebirth through sexual conjoining of natural forces….

Back to Terry and others in a coma. Their shen are fully functional, they are perfectly…[Read more]

The life force is expanding and contracting all the time, this is True Yin and True Yang. When the contraction is forced or frozen by force of will, so it cannot return, that is evil.
Evil is real, and is the source of all fear. Being aware of evil and being afraid of it are two entirely different responses. Evil is self-limiting, its sphere of…[Read more]

I just want to clarify my position about Bodri/Nan.

I am in no way opposed to Zen meditation or many of their teachings. I have the greatest respect for many Zen practitioners and totally respect their right to their beliefs and their path, or to the views that emphasize the intersection of Tao and Zen.

I am not claiming that Tao or taoist…[Read more]

This is an excellent discussion, and totally agree the issue has been under-focused in the HT.

My own remedy has been discussed by Chris – and usually doesn’t show up on tapes, because it is long and silent.

The monkey mind jumps about because its hungry for chi. You can’t fight its hunger,you must feed it, repression doesn’t work. Letting…[Read more]

And that your emphasis of the core channel, nuetral space, energy, goes some significant way towards remedying that. .. towards resolution of the energy work into something coherent that bridges to more formless states.

Ii’m not trying to limit or judge the process that works for anyone –
I say share it and explain why it works for you. As I’ve said elsewhere,
the Tibetan tantrics are using analogous processes to Tao alchemists.
My critique of Bodri/Nan is not directed at tantric buddhists, but rather their critics in the Chan school that think they can…[Read more]

Harry,
Every path has its pitfalls that need to be dealt with, and Taoist practitioners have their own safety nets they have developed for every stage of the path. That safety net is through gradual training and integration of body, mind, spirit (rough translation of jing, chi, shen) at every level.

One of the biggest differences between…[Read more]
