Hi Stosh and Marbelhead, I believe the best thing you can do is solve your own problems. If everybody would do that, the world would become a much better place naturally. I hope that Chuang Tzu would agree with this.

I read somewhere that the masses are unscrupulously behaving in ways that any single individual would be ashamed of. But it takes strength to still be your true self when almost everybody around you thinks differently. I am speaking from my own experience...

Perhaps you are too attached to results. Just send out the energy and let it go.

Believe that there can be abundance for yourself and everybody else in your life. Your thoughts will help create it.

Then this is what you choose.

My guide Dmitri has this message for you: "You have more freedom than you realize right now about what game you want to play, and how."

Of course you could say that someone in complete accordance with Dao lives in an ideal world no matter what.

Focusing on your pain will not make it better. You are welcome.

What our five senses are telling us is real, but there is more than what we can see, hear, smell, taste and touch.

I think it helps if you have something to hold on to in daily life. With me, it's my work as a healer which gives me focus. Doing this, I just can't afford feeling down too long. I am also teaching Russian school kids the English language. It gives me great joy to work wth children.

No, but maybe these two?

People who have never visited my country sometimes think it's all grey and monotonous. Well, it's not! It has many different faces. Pretty towns... Green mountains and valleys... BIG flower fields... Picturesque sea sides... Vast deserts... Sometimes, it looks like Holland... And yes, there is a lot of snow... Sometimes you can watch a big cat running on the snow! But luckily not where I am living... You know, my country is really big... And it kisses the USA!

This is just your opinion. Not every Daoist master was known for qigong and healing. E.g. Chuangtzu was also just a philosopher and writer, as far as I know.

Watts talks about Daoist philosophy.

You need better spiritual protection.

I think he could swap perspectives at will. Expressing his mastery of the Dao.

If all were in accordance with Dao, they would live in peace with each other and no government would be needed. I think, Chuangtzu often paints an ideal world as a model for us to follow.

When I do hands-on healing, I just meditate for a few moments first, then I feel chi flow through my body and hands. The flow is stronger though when I have good resonance with the patient.

Now they preserve themselves by drinking Wodka.

Sorry Marbelhead, I don't like to talk about politics. It is too frustrating.
