  1. Is porn bad for you?

    yes
  2. Not everyone can perceive ghosts. You might be clairsentient (as I am). Iā€™ve heard that paranormal investigators find clairsentients useful on ghost hunts (not something Iā€™m interested in, but each to his own).

  10. Help with Kidney issues

    Imo: When scripture said to ā€˜walk aroundā€™, it did not refer to ā€˜walking around in tiny circlesā€™. Walking around, referred to ā€˜walking aboutā€™. It was referring to the fact that after the initial learning phase, further practice can be done whilst ā€˜walking aboutā€™ during your day, whilst doing your daily businessā€™.
  11. Help with Kidney issues

    Knees must be kept in line with the toes to avoid damaging the knees, thatā€™s hard to do when walking tiny circles. So imo best to never do any ā€œcircle walkingā€.
  12. Cultural Christianity

    Kenosis cf. Daoism 虛åæƒ č™› xu1 - empty; unassuming, self-effacing, humble. ~~~ 虛åæƒ xu1 xin1 - to become humble. Itā€™s imo a core concept in the DDJ. åæƒ xin1 - the heart, as the centre of intellectual and emotional activity; the centre
  13. Cultural Christianity

  14. A warm welcome to Apech. And also warm cheers too to the rest of the admod team. Imo no system can thrive without setting boundaries, so Iā€™m very grateful youā€™re putting in the time. Thanks.

    @ChiDragon re. 超越ēš„超越 , I think itā€™s like your DDJ Ch 1 - 3. ē„”ļ¼Œåå¤©åœ°ä¹‹å§‹ , the invisible Tao. I think Chapter 14 talks about the ā€˜invisible Taoā€™, would you agree? And did you translate Ch 14? If so Iā€™d like to read it f I may.

    @Daniel I think you are very sincere and have a good heart (just ignore the BS please).
