  1. Evidnece for the super natural

    This is precisely what I'm saying too. I think we just have different vocabulary for it.
  2. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Nope. It will be available for your region specified.
  3. Evidnece for the super natural

    I think we understand things a bit differently or may be describing something similar but differently. Let me use a video game example: God of War (2018). In that game, the different areas you visited in the game's hub were all in the same physical space, but on a different dimension. Every time you wanted to travel to places like Alfenheim or Niflheim, you go to the hub, pull a switch, and you're in the same physical space, but on another dimension. When I understand the spirit worlds, I understand them as existing here simultaneously as our physical world--which is also like the model of the Tree of Life in Kabbalah. Yes, the x-rays, gamma rays, and so on are all here, but we can't perceive them. It seems as though we're using different vocabulary to describe layers of reality rather than a separate reality altogether.

    Are you saying thereā€™s no such thing as a spirit world?
  5. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Major announcement: You may now purchase digital copies of the CKFH and TCFH dvd programs, which are available at the same price as the DVDs! Just place an order on the taichimania website and note when paying that you would like them in digital format instead of DVDs. Stay tuned for more details about upcoming releases too...
  6. Depression

    Err, I actually was asking a rhetorical question about wealth and happiness, guys. šŸ˜…
  7. Depression

    Thank you, I think the mods can just clearly create a thread since its becoming an issue that needs to be spelled out moving forward. Sad that we have to do this, but that's the way the world is developing now.
  8. Bums I am missing

    I think the constant argument that erupted on the forum over the years made me not like the topic and the diatribe, but generally, I actually liked most of those guys, especially ilovecoffee because of his conciliatory approach. MegaMind--I think we wouldn't really get along on any topic due to having the opposite approach of Mr. Coffee, but I wish him and the rest of their group well regardless of my personal disagreement towards some of their views. So yes: as individuals, fine, but as group reps--leave that at the door (which I think they prefer as well).
  9. Depression

    If money made depression go away, why are most of the miserable people Iā€™ve encountered children of millionaires and yet the happiest Iā€™ve met tend to be humble folks?
  10. Depression

    Is it possible to make a pinned post highlighting this specific rule in general and explaining why itā€™s bad for all members to see? Iā€™ve been on the receiving end of my own posts being edited by a banned member and I suspect some people donā€™t understand why itā€™s a serious offense. They probably either think theyā€™re being funny or summarizing a post to avoid long block quotes, but itā€™s becoming more common I see not just here, and itā€™s always annoying when someone does it.
  11. Depression

    I'll also add checking out Joe Dispenza.
  12. Depression

    Perhaps it may be a better idea to get professional help rather than going on spiritual forums and playing with energy.
  13. Depression

    Can we all take a moment to recognize and respect cues whenever someone is attempting to draw boundaries please?
  14. The Abyss

    If you say so.
  15. Evidnece for the super natural

    Wrong. Also, it doesn't mean "do nothing" either or go with the flow even if those are popular oversimplifications. It's the same as people incorrectly believing patience means passivity.
  16. The Abyss

    For disagreeing with you? You must have a weak stomach then given how much disagreement is necessary for dialogue and growth. Being challenged is important for expanding what you understand and especially what you claim, and youā€™re making a lot of bold claims. Keep in mind Iā€™m not arguing, Iā€™m discussing and I have no horse in this race, nor do the others posting in response either see it as a race either.
  17. Evidnece for the super natural

    Does anyone else play bingo whenever these same arguments come up and repeat again and again with the same people? ā€œB2: posts video of the Chinese whisper, C4: insists video evidence is superior, D5: talks about others being trollsā€¦ā€ It is no wonder thedaobuns was opened where that eternal argument could be kept alive.
  18. The Abyss

    Junior high school has people poking fun to be mean. Here, people (mostly) poke fun because they want to help someone see something that everyone else can see but the individual himself or herself doesnā€™t or refuses to see. A blind man walked around the forest with a lantern to show people he was there and nobody would bump into him. He eventually bumped into someone and got angry, saying that he has a lantern for a reason. The other person said, ā€œYour light burnt out long ago and you didnā€™t even know it.ā€
  19. The Abyss

    In other words, when one is in the abyss, all desire to post on Internet forums disappears.
  20. Gaming Corner- What's your game

    Hell. F**king. Yes. And Final Fantasy VI. and EarthBound.
  21. Evidnece for the super natural

    The scientific consensus is not decided solely by science alone...
  22. Optimal time to practice Qigong?

    Do you have any experience with this happening at all? This is not a general prescription that happens with all styles or teachers. Again this depends on the style being practiced and the teacher. It's not a general one-size-fits-all approach.
  23. Optimal time to practice Qigong?

    This is actually a normal practice; in Classical Chinese Medicine, there are circadian times that correspond to certain organs every two hours.
  24. Gaming Corner- What's your game

    That's either Ender's Game or Star Ocean: Til The End of Time.
