  1. I donā€™t think jing can be stolen, but I agree itā€™s best to abstain. I second that.
  2. Yeah thatā€™s what I donā€™t tolerate, people discarding my views in the name of their religion/ philosophy. Like some Buddhists telling me Iā€™m ā€˜ignorantā€™. No Iā€™m not stupid, Iā€™m just someone else and I have another opinion. So now you say I am demon controlled; lol whatever, you are on ignore.
  3. Exactly Exactly. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
  4. deleted

    Thatā€™s very interesting. That for me also clarifies some (imo weird) DDJ translations I read based on quantum theory. I guess itā€™s inevitable, itā€™s the info we absorb when young. I guess it doesnā€™t really matter which ā€œrationaleā€ one adopts, as long as one makes a good life with it (like imo @ChiDragon did with the oxygen theory, it takes a lot of practice to bring a system to perfection like that).

    and then
  12. For a moment there I was envisaging you sliding down from the PLATEAU, down the SLOPE (just for fun because you know the way up again anyway). Righto.
  13. @Nungali in my estimation has about 60 years experience. See picture, imo heā€™s firmly at the ā€œPlateauā€. The Cad in my estimation spent max 3 years reading online disinformation and imo is firmly on the first ā€œPeakā€.

  19. @ChiDragon I think this is a good example of how a native speaker (in this case of Greek) can misread the ancient texts.
  20. This is right. ļ»æItā€™s old (Koine) Greek and means ā€œnot overcameā€ https://biblehub.com/text/john/1-5.htm This is wrong. This is confusing it with modern Greek (it understands - ĪŗĪ±Ļ„Ī±Ī»Ī±Ī²Ī±ĪÆĪ½ĪµĪ¹)
