Earl Grey

Don't worry, I won't kink-shame you so long as you're not imagining me as some Asian woman with bleached blonde hair and big breasts, being the Jeff acolyte that you appear to be.

How flattering--I didn't know that I was your type.

Right, if you don't see it or it's not blogged or reported on, it's not happening. Sounds like someone who doesn't understand how both the metaphysical forces work or how even intelligence agencies work. You don't have much skill or understanding of the skills, let alone how there are many levels of third eye, which are not the point here with your straw man argument, but that what I am saying is it does not take a genius to see the abuse of power. More straw man arguments and putting words in my mouth. I gave context and now you presume that I am a spiritual parent. Quite condescending and immature of you. Distasteful is the level of false comparisons and the lack of understanding of both legal procedures and cosmic law. It's like you learned everything from a reddit forum with the bold and absolute certainty you have. I don't need to defend myself with what you presume here again--I had no interest in being a mod at all and was invited persoally by dawei. I actually saw none of the abuses because I had my own understanding of things until they got worse, so nice try attempting to use the benefit of hindsight on someone who had no idea what was going on at the time. "Lying about myself to you" - translation: Wizz projects himself onto Earl Grey and anything that contradicts this is a lie by Earl Grey and nothing to do with what Wizz's sick little mind is assuming. I see you are proudly uncircumcised since you love the elephant trunk. Pedantic definitions were used for the sake of convenience, but I can go much more elaborate than that. I have no idea what you are saying here or how you made this ridiculous conclusion. With your logical leaps, you play hop-scotch with the planets. You really need to go outside of the straw man and reduction to absurdity arguments--they are weak and make you sound pathetic. Ask yourself about that because it seems you're more interested in appearing witty (but only sounding like a self-important asshole) and so sure of yourself that you reject any other view besides your own.

A few people have investigated and had communication privately. There's also a concept known as perfect timing--never too early or too late to have maximum effect. False comparison fallacy. Both the bait and switch and lack of informed consent forms of abuse in addition to the lack of personal boundaries are not natural, they are signs of megalomania and deceit. It is akin to Hansel and Gretel being invited into a gingerbread and candy house only to find out the owner who seems to be generous actually is a cannibal who wants to eat them, and you are basically saying that people should know that Jeff is a spider and they should know it's a spider's web and they are his prey. What you are instead saying is that it's not so bad, which is false. Except many who are searching don't know enough to discern, much like children who are manipulated by abusers are groomed to accept what is fundamentally abnormal and abhorrent as acceptable and blaming themselves. Here, you are joining in the abuse cycle by using the victim-blaming variety, which itself is also derived from the logical fallacies of both ad hominem and straw man. Not everyone is fully developed or experienced enough to recognize this immediately, so you're basically saying that "Life is tough and you will get abused, you should know it and toughen up" and saying that to people who are essentially spiritual infants makes it questionable if your parenting skills or your experience as an actual adult have been borne of any empathy. This sounds like the pushback against the victims who finally spoke up when the Me Too movement erupted, saying "Why didn't you speak up sooner? Why did you do it when you should have known?" Too easy to blame a victim, too easy to support abuse than it is to place yourself in someone else's shoes when you believe you have power and forget others have very limited abilities or skills themselves. Do that thou wilt in your own forum, but understand in this forum that people come here not expecting to be abused and manipulated by Jeff and other predators or scammers. Your spirit based on your one post here shines about as bright as an elephant ass sphincter, given that it displays no empathy or consideration and understanding for those who have endured the mental and emotional abuse by Jeff and his cult, or the circumstances that led them to his bait and switch for people who needed a community to support them and system to help them evolve, but instead got caught up in perversity and psychic vampirism. If you enjoy the kinks of it, then that is your preference, but it does not apply to everyone else. That's like wanting to go into the video rental store hoping to check out a new children's movie and picking up violent and perverse films like Fritz the Cat or Urotsukidoji, and before you say, "Well, the ratings are on the back of the box! You should have known!" they were placed in the children's section by a long-time employee named Jeff who personally checked it out and said "It's perfectly fine! It's good for the family!" without explaining he could have been referring to either the Manson or the Donner families.

Probably true. 🤡👺💩👻👽💀

Another friend suspected so too. Responded anyway to cite his old posts.

Translation: Jeff made an offer he can't refuse... An offer to leave the forum? Yeah, right.

Now here's a serious response: A real fight doesn't ever go longer than a minute if someone is skilled. A real master won't even need 30 seconds to end his opponent. Ten seconds even. Good gongfu means you can win in two moves, great gongfu means winning in one move, and perfect gongfu means winning with no moves. Second, 2.5 years isn't a long time of training, and what you're showing is that even your "qigong" isn't worthwhile with what you've studied and what you proudly boast of beating an old man in "32 MINUTES OF FIGHTING AND ONLY GOT MINOR BRUISES LIKE BLOODY LIPS AND AN BROKEN NOSE". Err...That's already a lot. Masters I know wouldn't even allow people to get close enough to touch their shirt sleeves. Calling something after Street Fighter moves only makes you sound pathetic, frankly, as bad as this guy here who really believes he is controlling weather, and in his mind, he is a master doing high level magic, but to everyone else, especially those with a critical eye and actual power in both qi and magic, he looks like he's doing a comedy video: Or this guy who thinks he has Zhan Zhuang: Neither of them know what the hell they are talking about as there is no internal power even if they believe they have it. Guess what? You have now announced you belong to the same club they are in: the Posers Club. If you really had power, you would not need do 32 minutes to do what my grandmaster can do here effortlessly at 0:34: And you would never survive against these guys, one of whom uses his internal skill as a Narc Detective: And, oh, look: he can still destroy you with an umbrella. Don't delude yourself into believing you have power and quit trying to scam people out of their money for techniques that won't even work. The fact that your brief posting history here shows you are asking questions about basic qi sensations such as why your hands hurt trying to feel qi and asking someone to explain basic qi concepts to you like you are 5 years-old, and asking for exercises to increase qi already says enough. You don't have any power or skill worth selling for as much as you're charging. Quit trying to market scamgong.

Cool story bro, tell it again.

Res ipsa loquitur.

For what we have learned and concluded, bliss itself is not bad, as it is a state that shows the fruits of thy practice. Seeking bliss is the issue as those who know what bliss is say that it comes when it is meant to, not because you find it, just like you can't explain that sudden spontaneous joy you find when finding a comfortable, quiet spot under the shade of a great tree on a beautiful sunny day and a light breeze that arrives unexpectedly to make a wonderful moment absolutely perfect. One can't force the breeze to come at the right moment or for everything in nature to align perfectly for their Instagram selfie either. The spiritual ponzi scam of Jeff and his group sadly seem to think that it is something they have the unique ability to turn bliss on and off and that as quoted earlier, they have insight where old masters and lineages failed to understand or have any of the delusions of power that only Jeff and his flock possess. It's a spiritual ponzi scam because it is a pyramid: at the top is the cult's web of lies and deceit to frame its paradigm, followed by Jeff, then his flock. It comes down like the sun onto one of the priests of Ra Jeff and the flock are kept in the dark believing they worship the sun when someone holds a lantern. Remove any one of the variables, and without a flock, Jeff is weak because he has no batteries for his ego, and without Jeff, his flock is desperate for their messiah. And without both, the entity fueling this is hungry.

You know what they say: "Ignorance is bliss" and they are addicted to the bliss.

Dale Carnegie said one of the best ways to make friends and influence people is to find common ground. How I have seen people do that in Manila is complain about traffic, because it has some of the worst traffic in the world where a 12km ride can take anywhere between 2-3 hours on average. Hating on scams and lies seems to be a good unifier here.

Let's get a full set of questions from everyone this week first and do it this weekend. I'll repost all questions I can think of and everyone else's suggestions compiled into one post, you can do the tarot, I can do Akashic, and whomever else will volunteer can do so. A good experiment and good insight too.

It's a very passive-aggressive move by Tom and the rest of the cult that only weaklings use when they want to get in the last word while everyone is watching, to avoid seeing what was once in their heads--a beautiful and eloquent witty takedown--become torn apart by reality, truth, and facts.

Too late, I already saw your complaints. Unfortunately, as you asked for more insight on your form, I will have to say that 1) I can't give you that information for free, it requires more in-depth and technical analysis, and it wouldn't even be from me, but my teachers; 2) I have already said all that I or my teachers are willing to comment on publicly and for free. Frankly speaking, you need to completely start from near zero and empty your cup to absolute zero just to get a handle on what you are missing in your skill. Then you need to be guided accordingly. It is as simple as being given one move and told to practice it for years before you even get considered to learn the next one, and then working on mastering those before anything else. I was told to practice seven moves in Yang Taiji before I could learn 108 form, and I found through proper internal practice that those were more than enough to demonstrate in movement and in sensing hands that others, even those who boasted spending a year in Wudang, couldn't even come close to in terms of skill or understanding, for all they did was memorize movements as though their teachers were choreographers rather than internal masters. If you are humble enough, I can introduce you to them. At the moment, passing yourself off as a self-realized master and the misinformation in your other threads need to be addressed. Do not also think for a moment that others don't see your attempts to show off non-existent skill proves your worth. Do not believe that it is not obvious that these are some passive-aggressive and underhanded attempts of yours to either get someone to reveal some things that allow you to come back and say, "Aha! But you just showed you don't have it and I do!" as you reference a Scamgong text or Bullshido site to prove your so-called mastery, and at worst, obfuscate humility and stupidity to get free lessons that you will use later as though it were your own teachings. Sorry, but we are genre-savvy, ChiDragon/ReturnDragon.

The kind of questions I ask aren't to "test members coming in" actually. What I was thinking of was asking the kind of questions like this as I would to the Akashic: 1) What are some things we can do as a community to positively grow? 2) Show us how to manage problems such as trolls, threats, and scamgong. 3) Show us what to do when there is conflict and how to resolve it in the best way possible for those involved. 4) Show us what is the nature of The Dao Bums forum and its highest potential. 5) Show us the biggest obstacles for growth. 6) Show us the problems we aren't aware of or aren't able to see at this time. Show us how to address them collectively. Show us what each individual can do on their own to deal with it. I would recommend you and everyone else come up with other questions and run it through tarot or through i-ching, or psychic channels, whatever you have to come up with additional questions and whatever answers and insights come through.

You are using a lot of misdirection and showing that your understanding of basic concepts is absent. There's nothing more to see here. You've just shown that in attempting to show off, you prove you really have nothing worth showing. Sorry, but you asked for critique and I gave it to you. If you were out to learn, then that would be a different story. Good luck trying to make something out of what you have. Everyone else, please consult better sources rather than learning from ChiDragon or being self-taught like him through questionable books.

You don't need to train to beat someone up. You really don't understand power or skill. "Beating someone" I mean here is the ability to last longer. By definition, someone doing internal training is already not "normal". You are not doing internal training however.

Funny, given that we're on the subject of Jeff, I would assume dirty blondes are de facto.

Nothing to do with how long you can do it. Twenty minutes or even an hour of showing a lack of skill is not going to ever beat someone who has great skill that can be shown in a minute. I'm sorry to say, you have no internal power in any of your movements or stillness. I've invited people internationally to stand with me or touch hands, and so far, if I have met them in person after meeting them online, few can demonstrate they have what they claim to have. For my students whom I train both online and in person, they can show more power or skill in six-to-twelve months than you are showing here, as well as developing at least very basic foundation to develop internal power (foundation, not necessarily power).

This video of yours: No harmony, no internal movement. Very mechanical as though you'd memorized the form from a book or video. No power. No rooting. No grounding. No stillness. The body is separated, as though each limb is taking turns to move rather than moving as one. No control of the sabre either.

It's easier to use the hands to stay in balance. Remaining static in a difficult position like on bricks or on a boat is something else. You're still misdirecting and trying to argue balance shows you have skill, but you don't even have good balance there. You also don't show any harmony, rooting, or grounding. I don't know your record of how long you can remain in Chen Bao, but all above teachers have done no less than 3.5 hours without moving and as long as 5 or more hours, one of them even standing all day sunrise to sunset. Based on what you are saying, your understanding is absent, your visual test here shows you don't have any skill, and likely easy to speculate than physical contact with you wouldn't offer any opportunity for improving my skill at all, aside from restraint against you like I had to demonstrate before to others who talked big and couldn't put their money where their mouths were when tested. If you truly believe you have skill, as it appears you are in North America, feel free to contact any of my teachers to be challenged, but you won't be tested for free and will need to offer a financial gift since they don't like to waste time nor give free lessons. Outside Toronto is my Wing Chun Sifu, Pittsburgh is where my Tai Chi Sifu and Sigong reside, and Los Angeles is where my other Tai Chi teacher lives, but unfortunately, my Xin Yi and Bagua teachers are in Manila and Sydney respectively.

I've seen it on the balancing beams, and did them myself when I was 4. Zhan Zhuang and its many postures and variants do not always require a completely flat foot on the floor. As you already claimed to be self-taught from books and no teachers, you lack this awareness. Not impossible. Highly improbable, but still possible, and I have seen other teachers like my Shigong do it. You seem to overlook the fact he maintained form and the student kicking him had to really try hard to knock him off, and the way you struggle to balance in your video shows that if you were pushed that you would struggle a bit, while Eric is playing and is ready to go right back into it. It is also worth noting that he is teaching and demoing this to students. If he were just doing it himself, that would be a different story. As you can see, at the 4:00 mark, he is still able to absorb several kicks before he goes down. Having been with him too, when he isn't on bricks like here, no one can uproot him, no grappler can take him down. The same with all above teachers, and Glenn, by the way, is a narc detective, so he has to have skills that work, otherwise, it is a matter of living or dying when chasing perps. You wouldn't be able to get back at me no matter how much you tried with the difference in skill here. See my above response. See my above response.

Hmm another few suggestions: - regular check-ins to update what is up, sort of like a summary or newsletter of major events or threads of notice, especially as some members hang in one section but don't know that something of interest to them that is going on that they are not aware of, also as a way to highlight current issues worth noticing for discussion or debate - more Town Hall meetings summoning everyone to make it more of a community rather than just people in a pub at their favorite tables and not really understanding who is who or what is going on around them
