    The above are not absolute statements. At risk does not mean that one will absolutely have prostate cancer in the future. Moreover, the scientific method is not based on absolutes, but probabilities that never reach (1).

    Logic has been thrown out the window and what is left is nothing more than bogus belief systems. Or, as Robert Anton Wilson puts it, "BS".

    History is replete with so called divine conversations such as what you quoted which has led to problematic interactions. There are right wing evangelicals that claim a divinity spoke to them and wholeheartedly belief that Trump was appointed by "divine right." I just don't put credibility in the above quote.

    I was puzzled when I read such a pronouncement which was based on mere speculation!

    I saw the video years ago and to rely solely on one questionable video is preposterous! To use one video as precedent is not in anyway shape or form, a scientific method of investigation. Are any scientists involved in testing group members at present?

    For one who claims rational independent thought pervades your group, please explain the incessant use of "we"? Orwellian groupthink is how I would characterize it!

    Our lineage? Have you met Chang or anyone in this so called lineage?
  8. Are you a health professional? The best advice here is to seek medical advice to rule out any organic causes first.
  9. If we all donate perhaps he will be in full lotus for years to come.
  10. You are really sure of yourself! Don’t put your feelers in my direction which is not welcome! I always know/feel when anyone is attempting this.
  11. By what statistical analysis did you arrive at those percentages? I guess you are in that elite group?
  12. Just to clarify my last point is that so called energy work can and will exasperate underlying physical health problems.
  13. It is very easy to succumb to belief systems that whatever physical symptoms one is going through is a spiritual energetic process. Such may not be the case!
  14. 10% is just an arbitrary made up figure based on a personal opinion. I know exactly what he is talking about, but will offer no advise in which there are other considerations that are missed. It is always important to seek a medical professional’s advise in certain cases.
  15. The OP asked some basic questions and the thread is derailed to a discussion about Jeff. Talk about short attention spans!! Take it somewhere else via a ppd or new thread!

    2b is code for Hamlet's "to be, or not to be, that is the question."

    I imagine "I" is not allowed outside the groupthink mindset.

    For one that is not interested in abilities another's abilities are suddenly intriguing.

    If your practice is so powerful and special, then why defend it? The practice should speak for itself! Do you speak directly for John Chang? I wonder if he approves.

    Why not go and practice instead of trolling and taking up server space.

    I believe it has to do with filling the LDT which would create a blockage?

    There are several threads here that were started by Mo Pai groupies. Ilovecoffe being one such individual.
