The Daobums is not a democracy. Dawei, our admin, has the final say.

Welcome, tombartifacts. It is nice to have you at TDB.

I would say that it is not starvation that causes man to consume himself, but rather over indulgence. The need for more and more because the senses have become dulled. When man (people in general) spends an extraordinary amount of time indulging the senses s/he in effect, loses him/herself, thereby consumed by his/her own actions and distractions. S/He is lost because they believe that more external stimuli will make them whole and satisfied in some way. Wholeness and fulfillment starts and ends with the individual, it is only ourselves that keeps us from realizing it.

So happy to have you back!!

Edward, think about it... If there was someone with real power over you do you think they would be allowing you to out them here? Sometimes energy can feel so real. I have had some hellish experiences but I knew it was just how my mind was interpreting energy flows. It is so hard to get past our own thoughts and inturpretations but it is possible. Go outside, change your scenery for a bit, take a bath, do anything but sit and dwell on it. Do something to help dissipate the excess energy. Hell, do push ups until you can't do anymore and then take a nap. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. It will get better.

It is not and has never been the practice of staff to define a hierarchy amongst members. It goes against the founding principles of the forums. Ppd's are such sub forums and are not limited to just sifus. They private diaries or discussions exclusive to members. I am sorry, but I do not ever see ppd's becoming public.

Your order has been filled. https://www.thedaobums.com/forum/547-nebulae-bred You are welcome

Legumes and rice are good for feeling full. Google is your friend. https://veganearthandsoul.com/go-vegan-in-30-days/

Thank you for your concern and info but I eat far more than just salad and am very healthy. It is all about balance for me.

He edited them and hid them on his own.

Did you do drugs with your friends again?

Nope, no ego here... How long will it take for the straw man's bindings to unravel?

Communication is not always conversation. I know that some of the best bonding moments I've had with my husband were silent snuggled in his lap on the couch. It can be massage, it can be a reassuring smile or blowing a kiss from across the room, a hug, sharing a fond memory or just a simple wink. Reassurance that you are there, that you are available and tuned in will go a long way for both of you. I do not have the answers I just know what has worked to help me and my husband to heal and to reconnect after my depression.

Finding the right therapist can be difficult, but once you do they can help. It is important to approach her truths as her own. There is no requirement for you to and vise versa. Finding a middle ground where the two of you can let go of some of your fears, frustration and anger, at each other and yourselves, so that you can discuss her illness and the effects it has on you as individuals and as a couple is not easy, takes courage, compassion and time. An open dialogue without judgement will open doors for both of you and a good therapist, in my opinion, can help the two of you reach that place. Remember you can't fix her or govern her actions. You can only do that for yourself and doing ao will help you both. Eating disorders are terrible and I can not imagine watching someone I love suffer from one. I will remember the two of you in my prayers and wish for your and her healing.

Communication is key. Learning to talk to and listen to one another without judgement and 100% honesty is vital. Take a look at transactional analysis. The goal is to be the adult, however we all fall into being the critical parent and sometimes even the child from time to time. Being able to identify these states in yourselves will help tremendously. Seek out a therapist that you can see together and separately.

Call 911 or whatever the emergency number is for your country and give them his address. He will get help whether he wants it or not.

It is not funny, but then I guess that's why we have off grid. I am not a feminist and do agree with some of what he says about feminists. BUT... His delivery needs a little work.

To my knowledge no. I've not seen an option for sub-forums to be listed with the newest content at the top. Every PPD is a sub-forum, just like general discussion, the rabbit hole, etc and are either ordered manually or in the sequence they are added, with the newest at the bottom. On the main forum index page the PPD names are bold when there is unread content, you can follow topics you are interested in or you can follow members and receive notifications for every post. The unread content feature is another option for finding new posts. Sorry I can not be of more help.

Are you trying to be informative or show us your chauvinism, Wells? You really do not like women all that much do you?

You are fixed up.

Note: There is no access to the real teacher. The real teacher no longer teaches.

This is a current screenshot of the unread content page with straw and dots. The leaves and branches seem to be only beside topics in the specific forum when I am logged in.

On the unread content page the star icon means you have posted in the topic before, the dot means you have not. Clicking either will take you to the first unread post of the topic. Hot topics have a flame beside them. I've only seen it a couple of times though.

Hello One, Please note that this and many of your topics have been move to the rabbit hole, formerly off topic. General discussion is primarily for discussions on systems and practices that do not have a designated sub-forum. All other topics need to be placed in the rabbit hole.

We have heard this exchange many times, please move the mo pai debate elsewhere. Thanks.
