Earl Grey

My man, we have our moments of getting stressed, jaded, angry, disappointed, and fed up. ...Guilty as charged, by the way. The most spiritual thing I can say is to go out and have a beer with some friends, have fun, and enjoy whatever insights you have developed over the years to set you on the straight and narrow path to where you want to go. Those who learn with me and my lineages are the ones who choose to, the others who are respectfully staying in their own lane and not bothering me can do as they please, and ideally, the cultists and self-initiates who are obnoxious and muck up threads forcing their uninformed opinions can crawl back into the bleeding orifice from which they descended from instead of disrupting discussions. But in short, you won't be pleased here all the time with everyone, though you might find a few gems--if you're willing to stick your hands into a pile of shit inside the port-a-potty in hopes of finding a diamond or an emerald, which you probably don't need if you've already got something that's gold in your head. The right people will come your way, the wrong people will either stay in their own lane or annoy the hell out of you maliciously, but no one can take away whatever insight you've realized or whatever practice keeps you going forward. Until then, buy yourself a beer, or let me buy you one, and don't stress too much about this place.

I think the incel movement and Jordan Peterson are being given too much credit. Jordan Peterson has some interesting ideas, but he is not unique or original. Incels are just whiners and don't deserve to mate because their mentality does not leave any room for self-improvement, self-reflection, or even changing their approach--what woman ever sleeps with a man juvenile male who makes her feel obligated to sleep with him? I'll share an old e-mail I sent out to friends over ten years ago, back when I just finished college and was on my way to Japan at the time. Keep in mind that it is written by someone who was more of a douchebag in the vein of American Pie--I was more of the Jim than the Stiffler, but a cocky little prick all the same. It was 2009, and I have nothing to hide.

Once again: @freeform demonstrates professional and completely accurate mastery through understanding, while Pointless utilizes the old technique of confusing people with jargon and self-aggrandizing language as he attempts to speak condescendingly with authority, but possesses no skill whatsoever.

Seeing how this topic developed now that I’ve caught up, I’m going to say that there seems to be no moderation at all—anarchy at the moment is not bad, but permitting abnormal behavior and preaching tolerance (see my thread in the rabbit hole that led to me taking two weeks off for stress leave) is as concerning as villain of the week. I saw a member who threatened me has returned to the forum recently (not in this thread), an action that once led to a suspension or a ban—and Sean did see the message where the member threatened me—threatening is now something that appears to be free of consequences, sadly. At this point, it’s a lot more common to find self-initiates arguing they know better, conspiracists, threats, and other behavior that makes coming here less fun at times. Then again, Buddha goes to hell because he is needed there more than in heaven to liberate others, so we should try to help alleviate each other and ourselves. I still don’t want conspiracy nuts invading my threads or people trivializing it and saying be tolerant, but hey, at least what happened here with the unfortunate exchange is more relevant to show that we’re on our own since nobody is enforcing and moderating to cut things off before they get uglier. ”Are you there, God Sean? It’s me, Margaret Earl Grey.”

Yup, that mirror technique is similar to what we teach. I’m not permitted to teach yet though, so my Sifu does that. It achieves exactly what you discuss on the base level. Higher levels, however— it does more without a mirror or nearness needed—even remote work with a photo can do stuff later. What is intriguing is when people not doing the practice together watch from the side and see similar things too.

I will mention this to him later. What my personal session with him showed that long form on volume 4 has two pushes of the wrist whereas moonbeam has three, but will need to verify again to be sure. There are some corrections and clarification needed.

Not so much as disagreeing but trying to help people avoid endangering themselves and their health or mental stability, outside of karmic issues.

Most of what I would have wanted to say in response to what I was quoted for has already been said here by others. Thanks pal.

I know we eliminated the off-grid section, but I think with the kind of people we have amongst our membership now, it makes for a good discussion group of crucial issues of political, social, economical, and environmental varieties. This first post here is my contribution to show how shitty Uber is even with Travis gone and comparing the murder of Kashoggi to a glitch. The house of Saud is a big investor in Uber, and Saudi Arabia already has a sock puppet account denouncing Kashoggi here in the replies to this user’s status. https://mobile.twitter.com/KarenAttiah/status/1193856709124444160

Hmmm looks like I have come back too soon to the forum seeing this continued nonsense and the other thread I started. Time for a much longer break. Sigh. Anyone who wants to remain in contact with me off site can e-mail me if they have my address or get it from one of my friends who will volunteer it if someone asks. I'd rather shut the door behind me than deal with know-it-all self-initiates and conspiracy theory nuts. I'm much happier that way.

Hmm should I reply to the multiple posts directed at me or not? ...Nah.

I actually had a chat with a friend and a few others off site about exactly what you say. This level of frustration now is serious enough for me to take a short break from the forum because as much as I’d like to update folks about the volcano and help out the people I’ve attended to here outside of shouting at gendao, it has been more aggravating while choking on a daily basis as we anticipate the next eruption. I posted links for people to follow the news here on the volcano thread and encourage people to please donate to either PETA or Red Cross Philippines. After this post, just find me by e-mail—I’m not going online here for at least a week or so to wash myself of gendao. Anyone who does want personal updates can get my email or get it from one of my friends.

Eh? Well, as you know, it’s...Entirely exasperating elucidating how each extremely embarrassing episode he egregiously ejaculates his emphatic epiphanies in EVERY THREAD, everyone is exhausted by his endless exaggeration that he embodies elite, eloquent, erudite, and esteemed encyclopedic enlightenment thanks to his exposure to the essential Sitchin and Icke, who both equate everything with extraterrestrials whom we must emancipate ourselves from eventually.

I am very picky myself, after finding out that not being picky led to terrible relationships. As for what constitutes attractiveness, it can vary widely amongst societies, culture groups, and subcultures, then even individual preference. I knew an attractive young woman whose type is fat bald men, and nobody could explain why. Her boyfriend, my classmate, didn’t care one bit, and he also had a string of attractive women he had dated who didn’t find his type of being fat and bald as their type, but he had a lot that made him charming, such as a good sense of humor and was an artist.

Lower sulfur dioxide--but no means to celebrate just yet. https://www.rappler.com/nation/249904-phivolcs-advisory-taal-volcano-status-january-22-2020 Here's a video of anxious evacuees: https://www.rappler.com/nation/249889-video-evacuees-anxious-week-fled-homes-taal-volcano-eruption-january-2020

https://www.rappler.com/nation/249138-phivolcs-advisory-taal-volcano-status-january-13-2020 So my whole area in the city of Metro Manila is covered in ash, and I'm headed out to buy some of those N95 masks. Not sure which song to play sardonically as I deal with some of the more bemusing things that start 2020 for me now, but here are a couple describing where I am (The Ring of Fire) and the phenomenon itself. One good thing to take from this country's culture is people love to use humor to deal with serious events going on, from martial law to SARS to typhoons to now volcanic eruptions.

He is probably waiting for Sean to approve his membership fully--some other member e-mailed me through a Sifu here because Sean still has to moderate and approve new members. But if he's already been welcomed and that thread is there, then it's probably an issue on his end if not the system itself.

Ah, so it's a compulsive need to keep talking, because no, you did not shut up--you kept chiming in, even indirectly, without quoting me. Being passive-aggressive rather than directly aggressive changes nothing. Nobody in the forum likes your presence because you are a pest--you are never on topic and your behavior, as Nungali said, My response is a guy who is fed up--your obnoxiousness does piss me off, and I am not the only one who views you as a pest. I am not a saint or an angel, though I doubt those mean much to you because of your view of Abrahamic religions or even analogies derived from them. A man getting angry for a good reason does not make him "mental" as you are unsubtly implying, but a man acting with false, self-assured rationalism--such as you!--remains deluded, uneducated, and for all intents and purposes, useless. There is an old term that we use to describe people who do nothing but meddle and force their views and opinions on everyone else: a busybody. They are people with all the time in the world because they are unemployable (nobody finds any value in what they can do), they are unpleasant (often the sound of their voice and their own body odor), and most significantly, they are unwanted. This fits you to a T. What value, gendao, do you even bring to this forum? You do nothing but force your uninformed and unrelated views everywhere, and when someone who does have authority (again: someone like Walker or I have language skill, formal training, life experience in respective countries we speak of, and actually talk with the people you've never directly engaged with), it is disregarded by you because it does not suit your conspiracy agenda. I know what value I bring, and certainly, this forum asphyxiates on the dirgeful deluge of your distasteful delusions that dominate and destroy any meaningful dialogue in each thread you disrupt.

Universities have more space for evacuees right now, as there just isn't enough space...https://www.rappler.com/nation/249861-limited-facilities-hinder-sucs-accommodate-taal-volcano-eruption-evacuees. They need food really badly. The government is forcing people out of their homes to avoid repeat of the disaster when the typhoon struck in 2013 when people returned home prematurely and casualties and losses were greater. https://www.rappler.com/nation/249856-video-government-force-residents-out-homes-taal-volcano-danger-zone And government in-fighting occurs when the VP Robredo is trying to help but her opponents in the government seek to discredit her--opponents who include a former pop singer who was hired on the basis of her fake news blog supporting Duterte to become an official government communications officer. https://www.rappler.com/nation/249877-robredo-returns-batangas-cavite-give-more-aid-taal-volcano-eruption-evacuees. Government politics within Duterte's government and China's opportunistic approach politicize natural disasters and ultimately harm the people who need help. Politicizing any disaster is disgusting as it means turning people's suffering into bargaining tools.

Reposting this so people can continue to give and ignore the hijacking that keeps occurring.

You could see the volcano thread and see why it has come down to this, as it didn't come from nowhere.

Small vendors are hit hard by the volcano's destruction: https://www.rappler.com/nation/249787-video-taal-volcano-eruption-hits-small-vendors One mayor is pissed and wants the Phivolcs to already lower the alert level so that people can go home, but it doesn't work that way...https://www.rappler.com/nation/249823-phivolcs-advisory-taal-volcano-status-january-21-2020 Mostly because I'm gearing up to go volunteer this week probably if I get clearance to help out.

My furry friends who all live here with me and make getting up to face the bullshit of the world worthwhile.

STOP YOUR LYING AND GASLIGHTING. STOP POSTING YOUR BULLSHIT IN EVERY TOPIC I CREATE OR QUOTING ME AND FORCING YOUR AGENDA.

Cognitive dissonance all the way for you, as expected. Misquoting me multiple times and now accusing me of misquoting you, especially when the actual quote showed how you are dumber than you actually are in every goddamn thread you post in and can't keep off of, you sick, sad fuck.
