Yes, I do practice weather manipulation, in my head.

Woke up this morning and couldn’t believe it myself. LARPers now equate themselves with being cultivators here now! Ha!!!

If you expected more, I am not sure how many in-person group you have had interactions with, but generally, most people here come from different levels of understanding, different systems, different nationalities, and different levels of grasping the English language, as well as different interests in coming here--many often for free and easy access to power. That should be the warning sign that this is a place ripe for conflict, but also where you can find a few diamonds amongst the shit. I come here for the diamonds. Sometimes the shit is too much. Other times, Buddha goes to hell because he is needed there to help others find a middle path out of it since he isn't needed in heaven. Again, I do not know what you practice or what your tradition is, so these are general comments in response to what you glean from the surface here as an outsider.

I wouldn’t take a mod position anyway. Aside from ending a couple threads and removing harmful posts, I would prefer a short reign of terror and then abdicate, then request seasonal rotations of volunteers so that nobody has a stranglehold the way Karen did for years. Holding onto power feeds ego and lowers quality of moderation. Temporary work keeps things a lot more concise. My reign of terror would last six weeks, max, but I honestly don’t believe I need more than a couple weeks to have a few trials and interrogations. I am only half serious, by the way.

First, I don't expect Jeff to honor the spirit of his offer--this is the nature of predators, and I've dealt with them both as a survivor myself and as a volunteer therapist. Second, it is important to understand that preventing others from getting hurt by him in the future is only ONE of those goals, and what I see here is the ongoing catharsis that happened since Sean returned last year is another goal, if you can see Ralis' post above you directed at Pilgrim. Last, letting a pervert off into the wild is not the end--he will continue doing what he does until the universe catches up with him, like a mosquito buzzing in someone's ears meets the palm of their hand or a cockroach meets its fate beneath the soles of someone's sneakers. While it is not necessarily in our power to enact justice and balance, there are consequences that are far more concerning, and it's the aftermath. Understand that healing has many phases and they are not linear, just like the five stages of grief, going back and forth between stages or occurring simultaneously, as well as interphases and cycles. If this makes you uncomfortable, understand that those speaking up are empowered by the collective now after feeling more than just uncomfortable themselves, and this is after years of feeling disempowered and crushed by the previous power structures. They are speaking up because they finally have a chance to, as the previous administration was all under Jeff's thumb. This is why there is a greater theme going on here right now.

Yes, those are actually the best--the siddhis come as mixed blessings, at least to show fruits of your practice but also show how much are you using it to help evolve or to feed the ego?

There's a big difference between being a cultivator and being a saint. A cultivator often becomes sincere and authentic, and most of the time, the emotional imbalances are connected to energetic and biological imbalances like too much hot or too much cold, or yang and yin, much like hormones can make people grouchy and horny. Most of the time, nobody is restrained because they're above it, they just don't give a damn. Cultivating doesn't make you a saint, it makes you authentic with your anger, libido, all of that, but it also lets you understand cause and effect a lot more. You're new here, so what you're witnessing is a lot of stuff that has erupted after a history of repression here that allowed a lot of vitriol that built up with a lot of the Alt-Right here who were posting nonsense like Pizzagate and had a huge support for Trump/Brexit and unsurprisingly were tied up with the current cult leader here who is a sexual predator. They were using their cult paradigm and energetic manipulation to prey on and molest victims while scamming them, then using their platitudes to justify their actions, while also being in power to ban and censor people here, or allow scams and abhorrent behavior to continue. It ended mostly last summer, but we are still in a series of catharsis waves. Cultivators know that it isn't always an up and up progress, but can go up and down, grow slowly, or even dip a lot before rising steadily. It isn't that nobody likes anyone--there are extreme personalities here who have all seen a huge shift and that shift has also brought in new norms that we are still adjusting to and trying to create some semblance of balance--it's a rebalancing act. As I don't know what your system of practice is or how long you've done it and how deep you are in with your understanding, I can't comment on it, but based on your above question and having not answered mine earlier, I can only infer that you're still relatively fresh and have dabbled a lot at least. Keep your standards high and expectations low is what I always say. Remember timing is also a key consideration. You sound like someone anywhere between his early-20s to early-30s based on the disillusionment and cynicism, which is understandable if so. There are also astrological reasons individually and globally at play according to some frameworks I am familiar with, so that is a point to consider if you do.

Riiiight as though Chinese Internet has all the answers, no misinformation or disinformation. About as useful as getting the top five search results on any search engine. This is also assuming all the information is even online or publicly available to begin with, RepulsiveDragon.

Given the status of your mental health as evident in many of your extremely uninformed and unqualified posts, it’s enough to prove that it isn’t working.

RepetitiveDragon has not done Tai Chi, he moves his body slowly after watching videos and thinks it’s Tai Chi. He has no background in TCM or neidan and keeps posting nonsense everywhere that only proves he’s a deluded fool.

Yes, ignore ReturnDragon. He doesn’t know what he is talking about and will cause more harm to you. He doesn’t know TCM or qigong at all.

Here is a blonde with big boobs in stilettos for Jeff to have an astral body to walk on your back in: RuPaul.

I have sex and get turned-on by the female body. How absurd it is today to find people need more than that to get their kink on. Pamela Anderson, Monica Beluci, Carmen Electra... do we really need more than that?

That is an unfair comparison—the Enquirer at least is entertaining.

I would rather read the Marquis de Sade, diaries of Anne Frank, poetry of Sylvia Plath, and even the conspiracy theories of David Icke rather than suffering through the biggest garbage in the English language, Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged.

I get it now. Power over others is a turn-on.

Your friend is one fucking lucky dude. and I'm cheering you on because Scarlet is hooooooot. Remind me to tell you about some of the celebs and models I knew back in the day when we grab a beer or some tea. I used to work in Hollywood as well as an actor and journalist, so yes, it is all quite possible--all higher than ChiDumbass here ever having any skill or understanding. If he were a lot more humble, I would tell him to look me up in California next I'm there to do actual Zhan Zhuang and do the Strength Trial. But as it stands (no pun intended, seriously), he's likely to spend more time posing online and afraid to actually deal with people who know what the the hell we're doing.

The problem I have with these cults is that they talk about unity and oneness and try to act wholesome, but are all about trying to get into people's heads and get laid. My view is that if you're a pervert and a horn dog, own it, don't hide it. I may do internal arts and meditate, but I sure love walking along beaches and enjoying the many heavenly bodies around me, and make no attempt to hide my Playboy and Penthouse library when I have guests over. Nothing wrong with wanting and liking sex, but the whole bait and switch bullshit is what bothers me. If I go to a meditation retreat, I'm there to meditate, not to hump or be humped. If I want to join an orgy, I'll send out the invites and bring the lube! It's like the fake feminists who act all sensitive and safe, but really want to get into a woman's panties because that's all they wanted; they never cared about women's rights or issues women face, they pretend to care about it to seem open-minded and nice until they go for what they really want behind women's panties. Honestly, people should own their sexuality--unless they need a spiritual therapy group to help them get over sexual trauma so they can embrace their sexuality and desire for it. In the case of Jeff's Super Adventure Club, they need to really be up front about what they do and Jeff needs to clearly state he wants to be a blonde with big tits and for someone to tighten their cosmic cocks in his astral pussy, instead of pretending that it isn't happening when it actually is, and is consistent amongst many members who have suffered his abuse. Otherwise, he's a lying liar telling his lies as usual.

So: RidiculousDrag-On posts trying to show off, then claims that and when comments are made on the level of skill displayed (NONE), he attempts to explain As though doing Tai Chi means that he knows what he is talking about and those of us who aren't doing Tai Chi wouldn't know it, but what do you know? Moment, Starjumper, and I all do Tai Chi too! Then he attempts to justify that he does have highly-skilled understanding when talking amongst Tai Chi practitioners: Ladies and Gentlemen: just as @Walker displayed before, we now have once again in only two pages and hardly a day has passed that the changing narrative of a clueless bloke who goes from attempting to show off to only wanting feedback to then saying it's because he is doing a different system than those scrutinizing him to now attempting to justify his skills as viable.

Not impressed, doesn't have any martial skill whatsoever. You're attempting to show you have martial skill, then say above that So either you have martial skill and are showing it off as the arrogant know-it-all that you are, or you don't have martial skill because that's not what is taught. Balancing on a board is not an internal martial arts skill. End of story.

You really have no idea about martial arts, nor have you met people in martial lineages. If anything, your insistence that it is to "maintain the virtue of martial arts" sounds like you got your information from watching old Hollywood films that think all practitioners are Buddhist saints. You sure wouldn't like people who teach killing arts--even @Starjumper makes it no secret that he claims to have learned an assassin's style, and Yang Jwing-Ming even mentions that Xingyi was mostly learned by bodyguards and assassins because of how easy it was.

You sure are.

Now, now; I’m sure there’s no problem there. After all, you wear the pants around there— when you’re finished with your husband’s laundry. But until then, something a little more suitable for you from Victoria’s Secret certainly keeps your marriage exciting.

@Starjumper @Cleansox The thunder magic dude is serious, and the member boerwoers posted the original video that uses Lord Josh as an inspiration to make up his own qigong system alongside his chaos magick practice. It was the subject of ridicule from others here because he thinks learning from teachers makes people asskissers and enslaved by dogma of tradition and religious stupidity, thereby showing he has no understanding of lineage or mastery.

Glad you were so helpful to her. I am sure you managed to find a suitable pair of lacey underwear that fit you snugly.
