I don’t. I kind of have an internal timer.

Hi Kevvv. Welcome to the forum.

Belated welcome to the forum.

methinks the noumenon is in the internal world

I agree. Ime it’s not in the external world; it’s in the internal world.

… “I didn’t have many friends at school, I wanted to be a member of a group of people that had an aim, and I thought getting involved in that kind of thing would be comradeship. “ “Even though you end up being a group of people that through their own extreme views are cut off from society, you do have a sense of comradeship in that you’re a member of a group that’s being attacked by other people.” (Kevin Wilshaw, well known National Front organiser in the 1980s, both a Neo-Nazi and of Jewish heritage) https://www.channel4.com/news/neo-nazi-national-front-organiser-quits-movement-comes-out-as-gay-kevin-wilshaw-jewish-heritage

I agree. Exactly. I agree.

That’s what I found too. 地氣 (earth's atmosphere) is what people in ancient China called the water vapor evaporated from the surface. 地氣是中國遠古時人們所稱的地表蒸發的水氣。 dì qì shì zhōngguó yuǎngǔ shí rénmen suǒ chēng dì dìbiǎo zhēngfā de shuǐ qì.

I can “feel” it.

Really? “There is nothing to interpret”.

Yes, yours is a grammatically correct translation; it is also the standard translation; and I too read it that way. However, apparently OV can occur in Classical Chinese* (but I’m unfamiliar with when). ~~~ * “The basic constituent order of Classical Chinese is subject-verb-object (SVO), but is not fully consistent: there are particular situations where the VS and OV word orders appear.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_Chinese_grammar (Core constituent order)

obsolete now

Hi. Welcome to the forum.

My (me, Cobie) “self” is not my “mind” and my self can control my mind.

I’ve never not had UBM. This might be different for other people, and it might be some do have to “learn” UBM.

My body does the breathing, I do not interfere . 無為 - no interference. Works for me.

Did your ‘evolved’ computer make this picture?

“People who need people, Are the luckiest people in the world We're children, needing other children And yet letting a grown-up pride Hide all the need inside Acting more like children than children …” (Bob Merrill)

Just not so “open minded” that your brain falls out. (Richard Feynman)

Hi Tianzun. Welcome to the forum.

Hi Insta. Great, that’s the spirit. Looking forward to your comments. Welcome to the forum.

Yippee, now I know something for sure

I might be glad too, just 2 questions first: What is “carrying method”? What is “transfer method”?
