My internet definitely 100%, forum very slow.

I didn’t specifically check at the time (idea for next time noted); but I think it was o.k., the provider says online there were no disruptions. Could still have been a local disruption to my internet (blame the neighbours ). The forum is working great right now.

This evening first it was excruciatingly slow, then back to normal again, then slow again.

Bodhidharma brought Indian yoga to China (c. 5/6th century A.D.). There it mixed with pre-existing Chinese Taoist 導引 (dao3 yin3) to form qigong.

I did get that impression already from the little drawing of the (banner} horse.

I do not exist bought the t-shirt. Then fixed it. Yes. Been there, done that.

Lynx, my totem animal.

As I see it: if nobody does anything, no evil deeds get done. Wuwei.

A lot of (all?) evil deeds are rooted in righteous indignation. How can you be sure you are on the right side?

@old3bob Beats me why you keep on posting about ‘doing something’. I asked you before if you do something and you didn’t reply to that, so I assume you don’t. You did say you do some charitable donations, but that imo does not constitute ‘doing something”.

Albania now has an AI government minister. https://www.politico.eu/article/albania-apppoints-worlds-first-virtual-minister-edi-rama-diella/ https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/19/world/video/ai-minister-ablania-ldndigvid

AI requires lots of energy and water, and we already have an energy crisis. More nuclear power and desalination might in future solve this problem. But I expect AI robots will be more and more used in wars, and become almost like human soldiers. Then I expect the AI agents to take control using this army and either enslave or kill all humans.

I don’t know which “we” you are talking about, but please exclude me. I hope and endeavour to “do not.” Ad hominems, I find it’s use totally pathetic.

Works fine now.

Very slow here most of the time.

Hi. Welcome to the forum.

Hello dragon (I presume). Welcome to the forum. Lots of different views on the forum. I personally think it depends on the person. Sounds to me you prefer to be without a Path and do your own thing. I’d say, observe your gut reaction when reading a post, that will tell you what you yourself think.

Hi Parizottoz, welcome to the forum (all the way from Paris ). I like the chakra system too.

lol

It’s merely cosmetic.

What does that mean “sung”?

Why? Why make yourselves unbalanced?

That did make me laugh. But imo all Chinese stuff is about the balancing of the two. E.g. DDJ ch. 42: Everyone turns their back on the yin and embraces the yang, But it’s the blending of yin and yang that creates harmony. 萬 物 負 陰|(wan4 wu4 fu4 yin1) 而 抱 陽 也 (er2 bao4 yang2 ye3) 中 氣 為 和 (zhong1 qi4 wei2 he2)

Lol, too true. I never talked to Maddie again after she did that with me.

@Nungali Yes, I’m familiar with the problem with some of the laity in the church I go to.
