Level 72 MoPai? Who said anything about MoPai attainments? Not me, not any mod and certainly not Jeff. There is more to life than MoPai.

Ahem... I think you need not personally insult members of this forum no matter what you think of their weight or sexual activities that are frankly none of your business, and not a topic of this discussion. This is a formal warning. Please edit the post and I will remove this post.

Try this on for size... Have you considered that you are mirroring everything you seem to say is wrong with the forum? It has been my experience that the ones shouting the loudest about their abilities and or attainments are the ones who are fooling themselves the most. Not a single mod has spoken of their "abilities" so you might want to check your judgements at the door because you are cutting your nose off to spite your face. Have you considered that the reason we allow some things to play out naturally is because we are able to see and feel the outcome before it even happens? i.e., knowing that no matter what we do it will not change the course of events to come. As a side note, until you open your heart you will remain stuck in this cycle of pointing out your own flaws and fears in others. When you make peace with yourself and let go of everything you think you know and let qi/chi/energy (whatever you want to call it) flow and do its work that is when the magic happens and you begin to open naturally, to quote you, "to the 7th chakra and beyond."

Many have tried and failed to buck the system, void's case is just another example. Private forums work just fine with a good set of simple posting guidelines and a staff that enforces them. The bums has been around for a little more than 13 years. I do not see the likes of you or anyone else with a motive to change how things are run here being successful. Grasping is pretty much outside of the scope of how I practice. Motives here only interest me when they are geared toward the detriment of TDB and/or its members.

Not unprecedented, he has been in this predicament before. It is not all like taking away someone's right to play video games, this is a private forum with rules, and not anyone's mother's basement.

Welcome to the bums :)

I got a good 7 hours. It is time to get the day started.

That's all the effort I can muster at 4AM, before coffee.

Sigh...

MOD TEAM NOTICE It is time to agree to disagree and move on from this discussion. No person has the right to demand that their "way", abilities or tradition be recognized as superior to another. There is no hierarchy on TDB. https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/31825-thedaobums-three-foundations-eclectic-egalitarian-civil/ ………..

No ma'am. I have not hidden any of your posts.

MOD NOTICE & WARING We do not reveal personal information (name, address, business affiliations, social media profiles, etc.) on members, moderators, admin or the owner of this site. It is very clear in the terms of service that every member agrees to during the registration process. There have been three posts hidden that contain personal information. There will be hefty suspensions issued if folks continue to publish personal information. *******

Happy birthday, @steve!! I hope it was a good day with many blessings.

It is not up to moderators or admin to decide who is right or wrong when it comes to practice. An explanation of this has been posted twice in this thread already. In case you missed it, you can find it here. We are here to see the rules of the forum are followed. We respond to reports. We do not go through every thread looking for rule violations. In responding to reports, we will usually ask for an edit (most members have no problem editing), close the report and move on. If you take issue with a post, report it and let us take it from there. If there is no report, there will likely not be any intervention by the mod team.

You've seen the circle, a waved line down the center? One side is black with a white dot, the other side white the black dot. Yin is female, yang is male, and it's all about you. Jing Qi/ch Shen The three treasures is a worthy search on the dao bums.

Do not feed The thread will wash away. #tdbcultivation101

Do not worry. We are safe.

I got it too. I am on my mobile this weekend. I sent screenshots out.

Wow! Thank you.

Should be working now. There have been several folks with the same issue. The upgrade changed some of the permissions for local moderators. Thankfully, it is an easy fix.

Could be from increased Oxytocin levels brought on by holding your breath. Google it. It is always more peaceful in the morning and easier to connect before people and traffic pollute our surroundings and our energy field.

This is odd. I have looked through the logs and I see nothing that would point to a cause or an action. I am just going to have to blame @Brian. We all know he is a very naughty boy!! I have hidden the clone in hopes that someone will come along with an explanation. I am curious too!!

Please, do not. A link will suffice, but if you are dealing with self control issues the spoiler feature is a thing of wonder.

I am not sure that is possible, but who knows... I click Go To Topic Listings on the bottom left of the page. It is faster than scrolling.
