    Thank you, for a Daoist that’s a compliment (wuwei and all that).

    Thanks mate.

    Ah yes, about that. Dear Nungali, I’d like to apologise to you about this post of mine. https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/56042-the-construction-of-judaism/?do=findComment&comment=1045410 I will make sure it will not happen again. I am sorry.
  6. I’ll be away from the forum for a month

  7. My sincere condolences. Sorry but no, imo there’s no safe way to contact the departed. I wish you all the best.
  8. Caduceus - staff of Hermes

    Might the English expression ‘tying the knot’ come from here?

    In China they have Fuxi and Nuwa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakes_in_Chinese_mythology
  10. I think so too yes. Ancient Egypt had a pantheon. Except under pharaoh Ahanaton who had monotheism, imo taken from the recent influx of Jewish immigrants.
  11. Formula for what?

    Hi Koded. Welcome to the forum.
  12. Corrupt a Wish.

    Thanks. Wish granted. Only to find out I am getting on your nerves no end. lol. For now they are (enjoy) and then … length of day is the same, merely reversed season. I am on a higher latitude but what I lose in day-length in winter, I gain in summer. I wish humans didn’t get decrepit in old age.
  13. Corrupt a Wish.

    ouch. There’s no way I’m going to corrupt that. I wish I could grant it.
  14. Corrupt a Wish.

    I wish there was more time in a day.
  15. Corrupt a Wish.

    Wish granted. Only to experience that no matter how rich you are, you’re still your old self.
  16. Corrupt a Wish.

    @forestofclarity I wish I had a wishing well.
  17. IMHO

    No humor intended at all, I too just want everyone to be kind. Happy Halloween.
  18. Imo, in order to handle the external world, science studies the external world and magic studies the internal world.
  19. Help with Zi Fa Gong

    I watched one video by him (all of it) where he is just talking. Imo he didn’t quite have the guts to say what he really meant (which made it boring) till the very end. And (for as far as I gathered) his view was ‘marry a nice girl and be happy’. So now I think his heart is in the right place.

    I agree. “In der Beschränkung zeigt sich erst der Meister” (If you know your stuff, you can convey it concisely). Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
  21. A Physicists’s Explanation of Qi

    Yes very interesting. And if you do watch it I’d like to hear your views on it.
  22. A Physicists’s Explanation of Qi

    @-ꦥꦏ꧀ ꦱꦠꦿꦶꦪꦺꦴ- It works now! (I only watched a fraction of it) Seems she agrees with my view that qi is on two levels. Around 1:51:39 she says it’s physical, pretty much identical to what CD says. And then says it’s also a bio-field, the whole ‘electricity’ thing.
