  1. Hello Everyone - New to this forum

    Hi. Welcome to the forum.
  2. Yes-But-Mind vs. Don't-Know-Mind

    That’s what you believe.
  3. I'm new here - hi!

    Hi Christopher. Welcome to the forum. Good to hear you “love everything about energy”
  4. hi!

    Welcome to the forum.
  5. The ultimate unpopular opinions

    The standard translation of the DDJ is a forgery!
  6. The ultimate unpopular opinions

    Definitely. A mature person knows it’s unknowable and takes responsibility - chooses what to belief in.
  7. The ultimate unpopular opinions

    Daoism is dual (yin and yang), therefore all ‘the Dao bums’ are dual.
  8. The ultimate unpopular opinions

    ‘The ultimate unpopular opinions’ thread has gone very bland; look, the OP is not pleased
  9. Hello from a new practitioner

    Hi. The title sounds fine to me. Welcome to the forum.
  10. Level 0 đŸ˜±

    Hi. Welcome to the forum.
  11. Can we talk about AI

    Same here.
  12. If you got you own kingdom

    As the saying goes: don’t tell me how much you’ve practiced spiritually; show me how much you love other people.
  13. Can we talk about AI

    I’m not interested in a future with AI.
  14. It came as a shock to me to get to know my Chinese teacher who came from Beijing as an adult. She said things like, ‘why do Dutch people say, “I’m happy for you?”, looking flabbergasted. She just did not understand the concept of it.
  15. Yes I agree that the Western mainstream notion of human rights is indeed a byproduct of Christianity. E.g. read up on the history of China; imo absolutely appalling the treatment of women and children. I posted about it before, so will leave it at this.
  16. You are the only one in control of your soul. All the rest is your own imagination. Be well.
  17. obsolete

    that reminded me of your DDJ ch. 1 æ­€ć…©è€…ćŒć‡șè€Œç•°ć These two come from one origin but differ in name,
  18. How is Hun and Po relevant to Neidan?

    That’s what I think too.
  19. alternative to chia

    Welcome to the forum.
  20. Newcomer - Hello!

    Hi. Welcome to the forum. Yes I agree they are “solo endeavours”; and still good to meet others who also have a connection to “dao/source/god”. Impressive, lots of experience. And (like me) awareness of spirit and energy already as a child. Great to have you on the forum. Enjoy.
  21. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    Good to see VH, used to love reading his books when younger.
  22. That's imo a big advantage if you want to translate the DDJ.
  23. Hello! (second attempt)

    Welcome to the forum. You might find the old posts of @Taoist Texts of interest.
