    Hi HappyAlien. Welcome to the forum, enjoy.
  3. Hello from a newcomer

    Hi wuweightlifter. I am of the opinion that, ā€œit can only resolve at the rate it resolvesā€. Often barriers are there for a reason. It sounds like the past trauma was severe, then imo itā€™s wise not to push through as this (in my experience) can cause a psychotic break. To gently clear energy blockages, Iā€™d recommend ā€˜spontaneous qigongā€™. Welcome to the forum.

    No. You already stopped talking to her, well done; thatā€™s enough. As long as you completely ignore her, she will lose interest in you and move on. Nothing to worry about.

    Thank you for your feedback. Please note your logic is faulty: -> ļ»æYae ā€¦ <- ad hominem directed at Yae (in the discussion) -> I ā€¦ <- my personal opinion (in my own thread)

    ā€œThat's gaslighting nonsense ā€¦ā€ https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/55713-full-description-of-methods-for-the-4-stages-of-internal-alchemy-in-book-internal-alchemy-for-everyone/?do=findComment&comment=1029317 Yes, ā€œYae can't digest this factā€ is just an ad hominem; itā€™s what some people use when they have no arguments left.

    ā€œIt's hard for me to take sound advice too sometimes.ā€ https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/55713-full-description-of-methods-for-the-4-stages-of-internal-alchemy-in-book-internal-alchemy-for-everyone/?do=findComment&comment=1029208 I find that remark so condescending.
  17. Letting Go of Good and Bad

    @liminal_luke Making a pecking order amongst equals, I consider it bullying; so I applaud you for letting go of status based inequalities.
  18. Letting Go of Good and Bad

    Exactly. Enough said.
  19. I want to become powerful

    Could you please tell a bit more about the remedies that were used?
  20. I want to become powerful

    I do think it also applies to modern 'western'. Could you please elaborate a bit on the Dutch situation: What causes it there? What are the remedies there?
  21. I want to become powerful

    Yes itā€™s awful, in the Netherlands suicide is the leading cause of death for people under 30 . ā€œ Suicide rates in youths have nearly tripled between the 1960s and 1980s.ā€ ā€œReligion lost its influence on Dutch politics between the 1960s and 1980s.ā€ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_suicide) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_the_Netherlands#:~:text=Secularization%20in%20the%20Netherlands%20started,resulting%20in%20liberal%20Dutch%20policy)

    Yes exactly. ā€œProblems come from putting on the outside whatā€™s actually on the inside.ā€ https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/55700-have-you-ever-been-blessed-by-someone/?do=findComment&comment=1028154

    Not at all; it is considered disrespectful to waste or throw away prasad.
