I am assuming this is another of your attempts to appear deliberately stupid .... like you predicted also ... well, that's come true !

Now you are in the wrong thread PAINTINGS !

Its not 'far fetched' ... its down right wrong , and its been proved to be wrong and now the accuser has been shown he is wrong ... he wants to knock a;ll the pieces off the board and run off he keeps doing this on all sorts of subjects and it usually interfaces with his religious 'faith' , which he is probably doubting , as he keeps bringing it in to all sorts of things he is trying to argue about . Either that or he is 8 years old . We can only really go by quality of content here , regardless of what people claim about themselves

What a lame and stupid response . Its also a duck out and typical . You'debate' like a little kid that just got obviously busted and is using the most lame excuses and attempted tactics to worm his way out of it ! Now .... got to your room ! and no dinner for you !

Ahhhhhhh ..... Thunder Gooch ! ' Those were the days ' !

Yes, this is the other side of it but this too has a problem and I have seen it in many fields ; do the 'symptoms' resolve through practice ( meaning do the decrease and go away and the practice bring obvious benefit ) or do the 'symptoms' just keep manifesting, turn into some type of 'practice' and there is no obvious resolving ? ) I have seen some 'practice' acting out these symptoms for years actually , and they still had the problems they started off with in the beginning that the 'meditations and practices ' were supposedly a remedy for . These practices can have their own type of 'addictive quality'.

First , I 'understand' nothing about Chinese arts . Still, I practiced various forms of MA for over 50 years and magick and certain 'energy systems ' and I am going to say that after some time , no I don't really do 'forms' , kata , etc only for 'memory practice and to 'keep moving ' but what arose after all those years , and what I now prefer , could be described as 'zi fa gong' . This is entirely different from the 'other type ' of spontaneous movement ' .... that type is more like the convulsions that arise from 'unstable psychology and psyche ' that people like Rajneesh encouraged his disciples to do . They are entirely different . Its like 'intuition' . Studies have shown that the most intuitive people ( that are right ) are those with the most experience in their field ; the nurse , the engineer , etc . They have spent a long time gaining experience and like a LOT of other knowledge it goes into the unconscious and all sorts of interactions occur in there , a vast multitude of them at light speed ... to fast for consciousness . Then it spits the answer out into the conscious and we might get an insight or an answer or awareness that seems to arise 'intuitively' of its own accord . For me this is the first type of ' spontaneity ' . Then there is the other intuition , where people have a feeling and an insistence that they must be right due to their 'intuition ', often in an area where it cant be tested . It is usually used as a 'front ' or 'excuse' or cover for forces in an unresolved psyche . No wonder people are getting confused about this practice and see the good and bad sides of it . This second practice can get way out of control , as evidenced by some of the 'crazy gong' , 'Orange people meditations ' and Voodoo ceremonies I have seen ( including a mass crazy unrehearsed or choreographed machete 'dance' - a 'melee' actually . Something IS going on - as not a single person got cut ! ) but this is accessing the primal forces and a Voodoo priest or priestess is going to understand A LOT MORE what is going on there than a Youtube 'seminarist ' . This second type is reactive and not responsive and it is convulsive and often does not have 'flow' ... that should be an indication , or the flow is chaotic .

I only just read the comments to that vid " You left out the best part about him breastfeeding the cubs! " " A rare long tailed Bobcat." " I opened the patio door on a frigid day here in northwestern NJ where it can get brutally cold. The black bear came in and we had a wrestling match. Afterwards we settled down on the couch and anxiously awaited our pizza delivery. " Plus many many more believing and defending it ! Leading to this ; " This is the best video on the internet for SOOO many reasons, especially the comment section. "

Then he would already have money rolling in without a need to continually post new Youtubes . More faulty 'reasoning' on your part . And it appears that your 'reasoning' here is the only proof you can come up with . Typical ! You have soooooooooo much trouble admitting you are wrong !

" ..... the wind howling like a pack of wolves in full hunt ... " Oh , you unbeliever TM ! How do you know it isn't a household full of different men ... all called Evan ? @ 6:50 the cat facing the fire Are they cardboard cut out cats ? It wont' be long now soon them fake pictures be moving

I actually have a prejudice against hats . Don't like 'em and never did . Anything from a baseball cap to this .... ( and I can even tell its trying to make fun of me ... I see that 'reverse Australia ' shape in the sploge of baked beans ! ) PHOEY ! Also I tend to prefer 'Eh?' over 'Ah ' .

What is going on here the cover image ... ain't they all cute and looking similar . Its all still images , wot, no one thought to do any filming and only took images all though it ... yet the 'prime actor' can be filled at the end drinking his coffee ? I mean, its a great story , no doubt under those temperatures , all sorts of behavior changes in animals . And regardless of that, I have seen some pretty amazing animal behavior and interactions myself personally . BUT , if it happened to you , and you took a few pictures of it on your phone , would you FILM any of it ?

Hey, if renouncing is in fashion, I am up for that . I would like to renounce .... something , but I don't know what I am ? (I already did it with Christianity when I was about 10 ) ..... Perhaps Apech could help define what I am ?

nor even sure of what the hell you yourself are on about .

I been calling him out for yonks ! he actually made a reasonable post or two , but then came 'over here ' and here he goes again ! Reminds me of a 'relationship joke ' : Girlfriend : " You are very religious , yet I am an atheist ." Boyfriend; " Thats right ." GF : " But doesn't that worry you ?" BF : " No . " GF : " Why ? " BF : " Well, it won't be me that is going to hell . " Hmmmm .... I'm not posting videos ...... I hope I am not in trouble ?

There are some that answer questions and some that evade them . here is a good idea , let's cite the Bible all of a sudden . And somehow think that it had anything to do with what you were asked . And with some juggling , by asking you a question, and not getting an answer - they are now against God ... or might be , you don't seem committed enough to declare it pout right ... just make an innuendo . as time goes on, people are waking up and realizing you are right . ... and other things you cant agree with are ALWAYS wrong about EVERYTHING . and it simply will not work out ....... for OTHERS ! ??? Wow dude .... just .... wow .

Yeah, it has 'the word' but not much more . Teachers or students of Hermetics do not use the term 'Sifu ' . Hermetics is a western path and understanding , whereas Sifu is a term used by Chinese teachers . I turned off after half his video .... its just simple 'self reflection ' meditation . But then again, why should I expect anything different ... its one of those 'give me your cash 'on line guys . How about you send me some cash and I will explain to you how to do self reflective meditation ? ( Even so , if I became such a scammer , I would still find it hard to tag it with 'hermetics' . Maybe now online hermetic courses pay off more than being an on line 'Sifu' ? .

Yeah .... I was just having some fun ... as I said , on a daoist forum I cant imagine a Chinese sage advising that .... nor here , where respect for ancestors and their ways and following them led to a 40,000 yo success story . So there is two sides to it as well . But frankly , I cant see much benefit from a lot of the current 'inherited ' religion so I capisce and agree , on that level . You might like what the Bahai Faith requires . Baha'i children are required to study various religions and scripture when they are old enough . Later when they are old enough to make independent decisions , they are to choose themselves which religion they are going to follow . If they choose Baha'i then they sign a 'declaration form ' , which makes it 'official' .

He has a 'way with words ' - content and composition . ... And Neptune with his trident smote the Earth, which trembling with unwonted throes heaved up the sources of her waters bare; and through her open plains the rapid rivers rushed resistless, onward bearing the waving grain, the budding groves, the houses, sheep and men,—and holy temples, and their sacred urns. The mansions that remained, resisting vast and total ruin, deepening waves concealed and whelmed their tottering turrets in the flood and whirling gulf. And now one vast expanse, the land and sea were mingled in the waste of endless waves—a sea without a shore. [293] One desperate man seized on the nearest hill; another sitting in his curved boat, plied the long oar where he was wont to plow; another sailed above his grain, above his hidden dwelling; and another hooked a fish that sported in a leafy elm. Perchance an anchor dropped in verdant fields, or curving keels were pushed through tangled vines; and where the gracile goat enjoyed the green, unsightly seals reposed. Beneath the waves were wondering Nereids, viewing cities, groves and houses. Dolphins darting mid the trees, meshed in the twisted branches, beat against the shaken oak trees. There the sheep, affrayed, swim with the frightened wolf, the surging waves float tigers and lions: availeth naught his lightning shock the wild boar, nor avails the stag's fleet footed speed. The wandering bird, seeking umbrageous groves and hidden vales, with wearied pinion droops into the sea. The waves increasing surge above the hills, and rising waters dash on mountain tops. Myriads by the waves are swept away, and those the waters spare, for lack of food, starvation slowly overcomes at last. -Metamorphoses ; 283 - 313 . The Great Deluge .

Eh ? Adherents of Abrahamic religions should destroy the Gods of their father .... what if I am Jewish and my father was Jewish ... or Catholic and my father was .... should I start smashing crucifixes ? Or did you mean 'in time' , like Judaism was 'the father religion' so Christians should destroy Judaism then Muslim destroy Christ and Bahai destroy ...... Or if your Chinese .....or what about Japanese person whose father was Shinto ... well, you are going to be very , very busy ! Sometimes its better to leave a metaphor alone and just use some ...... 'Plain speakin'

I should have included Ovid's version as its an interesting comparison - in that - I am taking the Greeks as rather advanced and accepting and working with their ' tutelary spirits and daemons' ... during Marlow's time , things had gone a little backwards and more ignorant , Goethe tried to get back to a more positive and 'classical view ..... so, Ovid's Philamon AI Overview : " In Ovid's Metamorphoses, Philemon is a key figure alongside his wife Baucis. They are an elderly, pious couple in Phrygia who exemplify hospitality, even to disguised gods according to Wikipedia and Britannica. Their kindness is rewarded when they are spared a flood and their humble cottage is turned into a temple, where they serve as priests and priestesses. " ( in this case they are spared from a flood instead of killed by it ) " Key aspects of Philemon's story: Hospitality: Philemon and Baucis offer their meager resources to disguised gods, Jupiter (Zeus) and Mercury (Hermes), when others in their town refuse to do so. Piety and Virtue: Their kindness and generosity are a testament to their moral character and devotion. Reward: As a consequence of their piety, they are saved from a devastating flood that destroys their town and are granted their wish to become priests and priestesses of the temple that replaces their cottage. Intertwined Trees: They are ultimately granted their wish to die at the same moment and are transformed into trees, an oak and a linden, growing together and eternally intertwined. Philemon and Baucis are a powerful example of the virtues of hospitality, piety, and the rewards of a life lived with integrity, according to Ovid. Their story is a reminder of the importance of kindness, even in the face of adversity, and the potential for divine favor to be bestowed upon those who demonstrate these qualities. "

I guess not as I didn't get far . Maybe some other time. I have wondered about the source of extra Biblical Abrahamic apocrypha . A lot of 'Bible stuff' was lifted from various phases in Mesopotamia - generally from early times ... admitting where Abraham himself actually came from. And later times after the release from captivity ( in Mesopotamia when the modern form of the Hebrew Bible began to be composed , and the concept of 'one true God only - especially in the temple at Jerusalem - was started by Josiah 648 - 649 bc . before that it (and inside the temple ) was pretty much 'general Canaanite' , and very similar to Mesopotamian religions . But my comment .... I was thinking , well .... you won't read a Chinese sage starting off like that ! .. only in the 'Abrahamic forum' ,

... note ' Goethe's Faust ... there were two versions The first seems a typical Christian tale of God the Devil and punishment . The second is more about a ' transformational ' ending and initiatory journey leading to the Superconscious ( via the help of 'The Virgin Mary ' ... probably in her aspect as 'Stella Maris ' - 'Our Lady Star of the Sea - patron of sailors and all who journey upon the sea , especially during storms and shipwrecks ... . Remembering that the sea is a symbol of the unconscious , the surface the ego and the sky and heavens the superconsious. Its nice when the surface is calm but who knows what 'lurks beneath ' . During 'dire circumstances' these spirits can seem to act as the 'Guardian Angel ' type of spirit or even during physical 'trials' as 'The Third Man Factor ' - the unseen helper ; " One study of cases involving adventurers reported that the largest group involved climbers, with solo sailors and shipwreck survivors being the second most common group, followed by polar explorers ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_man_factor ) Whereas in the Marlow version , Philamon is one of the people ( 'spirits ' in Faust's 'watery psyche ' - the 'drowned land ) * that he (his ego ) wants to take over and inhabit , with the aid of Mephistopheles .... to disastrous consequences . * " In Faust 2, Act V, Goethe has Faust build a city on land reclaimed from the sea. In order to accomplish this task, Faust tells Mephistopheles that he wants Philemon and Baucis, who lived on this land, moved. To Faust’s ultimate horror, instead of doing so, Mephistopheles decides to burn their cottage with Philemon and Baucis inside. Goethe’s Faust made a tremendous impression on Jung and held a life-long significance for him. He felt personally implicated by the destruction of these humble and reverent figures and felt that it was his responsibility to atone for this crime and to prevent its repetition.3 Healing this Faustian split would become a central theme in Jung’s life work. " It seems Jung felt he had somehow compromised his relationship with his 'special spirit' ? Perhaps , in a way we all have ? In that in much of modern society we are not aware of such psychic dynamics, suppress them or mis interpret them .

Okay ... The 'Daemon' or 'Tutelary Spirit' ; Jung’s fantasy figure was based on the figure of Philemon who appeared in Ovid’s Metamorphoses and in Goethe’s Faust. " https://philemonfoundation.org/about-philemon/who-is-philemon/

What a way to start off ! "One day, while I was destroying the Gods of my father ..... "
