  1. Under Trump

    Can't wait til he's gone. America voted against this WW3 with Russia nonsense.
  2. Zero Point Tech. & Harnessing Dao

    Is English your second language? I don't respond to commands. Zero point has to do with the Dao, in my view. Although like Ralis said, the technology is questionable.
  3. Zero Point Tech. & Harnessing Dao

    I thought that's what the zero point energy tech was supposed to be about.
  4. Cooking up a storm

    Easy healthy breakfast: Put olive oil in a pan chop up bell pepper and tomato throw them in with a handful of baby spinach cook for a bit throw in the whites of three eggs scramble all together until fully cooked good quality salt and pepper in it to taste
  5. Rare Esoteric Buddhist Teachings

    I can tell. But feel free to not take my word for it.
  6. Under Trump

    That's horrible.
  7. Rare Esoteric Buddhist Teachings

    What's happening in the video is totally just plain old 'spontaneous qigong'. The student is told the suggestion that they'll move in various ways if they do something (can be anything to trigger it). They do it, they will get a little natural movement at some point, which they allow to morph into a big show...because they want the magical thing to happen for them...all the while it can seem like it's not the student causing the movement but a higher intelligence. After practicing for a long time, they'll be readily able to perform. It really is suggestion and their own choice to move, though. Whether benefits come or not, or even if bad results come, is really anyone's guess.
  8. Under Trump

    I haven't. Perhaps since you have I should take your word for it.
  9. Under Trump

    What I see: the propaganda machine is trying its best to make this cabinet and PEOTUS seem fascist.
  10. Under Trump

    I actually think so, for the most part.
  11. Syria, Aleppo and the truth

    From what I grasp...on side A is Saudi Arabia and somewhat the US (although maybe not anymore), and on side B is Iran and Russia. Side A is basically the new al-Qaeda, and Side B is Assad.
  12. This is a great free course: https://www.khanacademy.org/partner-content/wi-phi/wiphi-critical-thinking #MakeAmericaLogicalAgain
  13. TCM and yin deficiency ?

    Did you get treatments from these TCM practitioners? That would go a long way to help. I also think...eat more cooked veggies in every meal, and drink more spring water (if you get thirsty, drink...but don't overdrink). Go to sleep early.
  14. True news vs fake news

    All that they (supposedly CIA personnel) have to say for this is that Russia hacked Democrat emails and sent them to WikiLeaks...that's all they've got. (Although, the truth is that Podesta's weren't hacked...he left his cell phone in a cab, and someone got access that way. Not a Russian source.) They are not saying that Russians hacked voting machines. They're saying that Russian government gave the order to leak the truth, which could have swayed the American opinion. It was a messy election. Trump's campaign was also interfered with in a similar way...his private conversation of "locker room talk" was aired, just like the stuff in people's emails was aired. That leaks come from Russia or America...both are interference. And both are revelatory, and liberating. FBI currently isn't so quick to jump to conclusions about Russia giving the order to hack emails and sway the election, as supposed-CIA is. I am staring into my crystal ball and I see that the BS won't stop, even after Jan 20th.
  15. Cooking up a storm

    That sounds great.
  16. Logic, the prerequisite of all truth

    I'm starting a new thread for the exploration of this specific course, with owner permissions. Feel free to continue this thread however you guys wish.
  17. Best way to deal with energy problems

    Based on what? This isn't how a practitioner diagnoses people.
  18. Cooking up a storm

    Almond maltose cookies 2 cups almond flour 1/2 tsp baking powder whisk together in a bowl 1/3 cup brown rice syrup 2 tsp vanilla extract stir everything with wooden spoon until totally combined form into cookies any way you desire on a baking sheet bake at 350 for 12 minutes It's amazing how this recipe is so easy, with such atypical cookie ingredients, yet comes together to make a really decent treat. Brown rice syrup is called "yi tang" in Chinese Medicine, and is thought to be a sweetener that benefits the digestion (as opposed to regular sugar, which harms it). Although it benefits digestion, it does seem to produce "dampness"...so I might try adding cardamom.
  19. The art, science and practices of Good Sleep

    Well, you know what it feels like...so all that's required is recalling that feeling. Doesn't always work, but it's another thing that helps.
  20. Liu Huayang

    The author was quite clear.
  21. The art, science and practices of Good Sleep

    Another idea... Cultivate being cozy before bed. You know when you curl up under your blankets, and it feels so comfortable? You feel yourself just melting or sinking onto your bed, with the day drifting away. It feels good to close your eyes. It's a certain blissful state of being.
  22. Why do you say "school"?

    Nah, it's an English expression. It's your own fingers (think about pointing your index finger at someone...three of your own curled fingers are literally pointing back at you). It means that any time you insult someone, you're really revealing something about yourself...wise people are able to see their own flaws by observing themselves in this sense.
  23. Why do you say "school"?

    I'm not going to report opendao for continuing to insult forum members, but I'm going to point it out for him to change it himself. Also, "when you point your finger at someone there are three fingers pointing back at you".
  24. What is the perfect job for a Daoist?

    Owner of an already established and successful business. Why? Because it allows you to live a life of spontaneity. If you are feeling the need to work, you're able to...if work is feeling unnatural, you just let the managers run things. At least that's for the typical idea of what a Daoist is...someone who goes with the flow and needs the ability to be spontaneous.
  25. Logic, the prerequisite of all truth

    Like I said, I don't agree. I still think Logic is the prerequisite of all truth. I think it defines truth. Not personally interested in discussing it further (although, go ahead)...but I am interested to see if the course changes my mind after a year.
