Hi Jigbleb. Welcome to the forum.

@Earl Grey Best wishes to you with the handling of some important things. Be well.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean to say here. Could you elucidate please?

Hi Pedroke. Welcome to the forum.

Go inside and find out for yourself.

Imo only a dog has a master. Following someone else’s advice will never get you where you need to be. Do your own thing. You can do it. Everything you need is inside you. You don’t need an external tuitor, you have ‘intuition’. “you already have your own wings. I will not give you more feathers.” (Rumi) https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1347695-i-was-dead-i-came-alive-i-was-tears-i

This rather supports the point I made. Anyway, I have removed the text you found offensive.

Enough said. I think otherwise.

There’s a sucker born every minute.

@Taoist Texts What is “immortality” according to you?

Imo: exactly, you are sane and honest and will wait - forever, as it doesn’t exist. Imo, only the deluded and the con artists can present themselves as “immortal”.

Yes, indubitably so. Otherwise I can no longer sell a ‘secret. It’s all about money.

.

The usual reply of people that do not know, refer you to a fat book that will lead you nowhere.

I conclude from this reply that you do not know what “non-dualism“ is.

o.k. Question, what is “non-dualism”?

Hi Chang dao ling. Welcome to the forum.

Thank you for the quote. The bit that follows 丹田 is also very interesting: 其疾病尪瘵者，靜躬祈福即獲祚。若不虔恪輒顛踣，故知至德之宅兆、真人之先祖也。 Google: Those who suffer from diseases and convulsions will be rewarded if they bow quietly and pray for blessings. If you are not pious, you will always go back and forth, so you know that the tomb of the most virtuous man is also the ancestor of the real man.

@ChiDragon I have great respect for your system, it was build up over 40 years of practice. Thanks for sharing it with us.

me too.

Hi Seantzu. Welcome to the forum.

In my experience, this is not true; on the contrary, truth is fragile and needs to be protected. To thrive, every system needs to set boundaries. E.g. see the demise of the Dao Bums’ spin-off site OD, it failed miserably (as did, as far as I know, the OD spin-offs by starjumper and pegasus).

I have removed my post.
