Welcome to the 'bums Shawn, have fun.

A rather large thread to leave out in the lobby moved to discussion and welcome to the 'bums jenn992

Welcome and thank you for the information I posted a copy in Upcoming Events

We have a similar thing (I think, not having touched hands with Aikido) called Jar Lig (apologies to any who speak Cantonese) where you borrow the in coming energy, and then give it back at the right time. Exactly, one of the people in that video posted at TTB a few times.

I would like to think I enjoy how people act, without being judgmental and uncaring. Because it IS fun to watch what people do, especially if you like group dynamics. Groups give rise to unusual behaviour and interesting phenomena, anonymous groups even more so. Discussion forums are almost like a 21st centaury version of an ant farm.

I will answer to the best of my ability? How's that?

re: the edits Yes, I didn’t answer all of your questions. Although I'll point out that there were a LOT of PM's between all the moderators, yourself, SODE, and Varj. Sorry that I can't always help, but you also didn't respond to some of my PM's. No, that would be Sean Unfortunatly I can not supply you with one.

It allowed me (/us / moderators) to shape the flow of conversations into a direction that, in my view, was more towards adding value to discussions.

Questioning always welcome. It may be of interest that, from my perspective, it was far from "senseless" and it had the desired effect. As did your suspension BTW. Plus the continued debate also serves a purpose

At our size, basically everything has the potential to become a "big deal". (So imagine how hard important decisions are ) Although it is fun watching, isn't it While neuropsychology was my “thing” group dynamics is a really interesting area of psychology. If you are interested in that sort of thing you may enjoy http://users.rider.edu/~suler/psycyber/psycyber.html

haha no worries (and it's probably much more since I am a hated moderator) Can't get enough of your single whip baby re: Reputation I didn't even notice that they were added up somewhere

inspired 86 months of daily practice, and counting

How about something a bit superficial (although it's inspiring to me as Bruce has always looked like a "big guy") What did he change in the last few years? As he looks very healthy, and much lighter, in his recent videos.

For me a spiritual warrior would be this guy Captain Paul Watson from Sea Shepherd Because he has a strongly held belief, and is doing his utmost to manifest that belief in reality for the benefit of all.

Actually I think you are probably progressing rather nicely, and will probably either have powers (or not want them ) in 3~5 years if you keep at it. I also went through western occult, eventually Bardon, Buddhism, then Taoism. The journey taught me many things, and while I may have wandered a few paths I'm glad I didn't rush

"If you could only buy one of your books, which one and why?" (because I don't own any of Bruce's book and the large catalogue of them makes it hard to know where to start) and like you asked Chunyi Lin "If you could only do one practice/exercise, which one and why?" (along the lines of what is good to add to any pre-existing practice/system) p.s. It's gratifying to see your interview project come to fruition. Congratulations and thank you for the effort.
