That’s wisdom. Following someone else’s path will never get you were you need to be.

“Anyone” that spends “endless hours correcting … very false assertions”, has not got very far along the spiritual path as yet.

Most of my convos on OD were with Chidragon. I found him to be a mine of information. And, much more importantly, a good person. We disagreed on almost everything, good times, but I certainly learned a lot from him

Hey, leave me out of it!

Hi Aristion. Welcome to the forum.

Hi chidaruma. Welcome to the forum.

This is the intended spirit of my posts to you. So too is using ‘mercury’. So too does claiming a ‘lineage’. In the early 80sh, I knew all this about some of the ‘teachers’ of the generation before me. In retrospect we are all very wise. In the early 80sh, I attended workshops by Mantak Chia. At the time he was widely trusted. Just like now you trust your teacher.

A harsh but fair judgement of these persons.

Alchemy 101 - How to transform ‘lead’ into ‘gold’. 1. Put ‘lead’ in pill. 2. Give pill to gullible Emperor. 3. Get gold in return

Duh

@VELLY Daoist sex-practices will not help either.

Yes. The fruit-bats took over from the white mice.

The more mysterious, the more they lap it up. Not all teachers are in it for the money, some are deluded. As there is no secret, you can never reach it

That’s because they are only visible to the ‘initiated’.

@freeform Be well my friend, enjoy your Way as I enjoy mine.

Definitely “things aren’t quite as simple” when a gullible person meets a callous libertine.

What were the ingredients? The rest of your post is unsubstantiated.

Thank you for clearly setting out the problem.

Gullibility tends to increase with distance.
