how soon before the US in same state as Greece?
gendao replied to 3bob's topic in General Discussion
Not at all. If Hitler truly believed in "survival of the fittest"...then he would have had no need to interfere whatsoever in the natural free market survival of the fittest and failure of the unfit. What he practiced instead was artificial (not natural) selection, just like his legacy of Affirmative Action & GMOs today. -

I don't think they did back when they built the Acropolis...and up until they took a left turn with the PASOK party in 1981, their economy was actually constantly growing every year, despite constant civil unrest: So, the evidence is clear if you follow the breadcrumbs back of what changed... -
Well the facts are the facts, whether you like them or not. For millenia, spiritual wisdom and technology has traditionally flowed mostly from the East (Far, Mid & Near) to the West slowly over time and distance. Ever notice the Biblical archetype of "wise men from the East?" In fact, based largely upon Joseph Needham's work, Robert Temple states that "possibly more than half of the basic inventions and discoveries upon which the 'modern world' rests come from China." And more specifically: The reasons for this Eastern dominance are probably manifold, but 2 likely ones are that East Asians have higher IQs on average and while Westerners tend to be more sociopolitically open-minded (think Roman orgies), the Chinese tend to be more open-minded with regards to life in general (think about their vastly expanded medicinal and dietary range alone, for instance). For example, while Europeans are immediately disgusted by urine, the ancient Chinese discovered 2000 years ago how to extract hormones from it for medicinal purposes. Or have no problem sticking needles into people like Voodoo dolls or sucking stagnant blood out using suction cups. Most modern Europeans have a "natural" cultural aversion to such practices that they deem "bizarre & exotic." While such greater Chinese tolerance can lead to some genuinely weird oddities, it also opens the door to some amazing discoveries that more "proper" Western sensibilities would never have even explored to begin with. But of course now, capitalism, science & some brilliant minds, acid-tripped, & Grey aIien technology have temporarily replaced Chinese source technology as China is also recovering from centuries of warfare and Communism. So, the tables have turned for the time being..

^ OK, scratch Austronesia for conflicting data, then. Let's just stick with them both agreeing on Africa being the most diverse - and thereby strongest superpower, then. Thus, proving the Americanism maxim, "DIVERSITY is our STRENGTH," correct after all!

I guess healthy skepticism never hurts, but normally festival crowds look...festive? Whereas people walking with children, glum looks on their faces and mattresses strapped to their backs...are more typically refugees?

Well, since the CRA from 1977 worked so well at causing the massive housing bust in 2008 and plunging this country into even far deeper debt...the Looney Boomer Feds are doubling-down and pushing it even further now! IOW, banks must now lower lending standards EVEN MORE to poor black, brown or other (non-East/South Asian) minorities with bad credit - while racially-discriminating against White and East/South Asian homebuyers with better credit/income. Vive more diversity & equality! -
Very interesting. Sounds similar to YIELDing/PUSHing, 2 of the 6 foundational baby movements identified and defined by Ruella Frank as: (The key is how these movements represent both physical and psychological qualities.)

Well, that American mantra has never actually been proven - or had to be. It's only been "proven" true by repeating it enough...(propaganda). So really, we could just as easily say that PURITY = STRENGTH or DIVERSITY = WEAKNESS. But in reality, diversity is just diversity. A rose is a rose is a rose. X = X & Y = Y. It can only be "good" or "bad" for different individuals in specific, conditional contexts. Hence, X = Y is basically always propaganda, because it never is 100% and is therefore a conditional prejudice (bias). Clearing the subconscious mind means removing all X = Y associations. Ever hear of the ongoing Congo Civil Wars? You're right though, they very well could be the happiest nation on Earth!

China, and much of Asia and various less-industrialized countries have much more abundant, cheaper, fresher, locally-sourced foods - often available from street vendors. (The only caveat is that it may not all be organic due to Western pesticides & GMOs now.) Well, duh. According to the US, the most diverse countries in the world are the best (Africa, Brazil, Caribbean, USA, etc), and the least diverse (East Asia, Australia, Europe, etc) are the worst. Ergo, these are obviously the happiest and most socioeconomically-successful countries in the world. As opposed to the more homogenous countries, mired in poverty, strife, and misery. Clearly, DIVERSITY = STRENGTH - in both political, academic theory AND proven, competitive, free market practice!

What Results Do People Here Have From Training?
gendao replied to vonkrankenhaus's topic in Daoist Discussion
I've manifested a better inner & outer life and cured some health conditions from the "skin-to-flesh layers." But, not the deeper "bone or bone marrow layers" yet... That's next on my list (once I figure out how, lol). -
That's pretty interesting. So, you communed with and petitioned an ancient Greek goddess? Is she also known as Isis/Ishtar/Statue of Liberty? Hmm, would be cool to see pics of those giant palm prints! And if you could commune so powerfully with a mythical figure, what about a tree or the moon? Have you been successful with just about anything?

Interesting.. 2) What 3 directions? Forward/backward, side-to-side, ? 3) While sitting? Seems that would be an imperceptible motion? ^ Sounds like the Tibetan monks have classic "root chakra" blockages. Separated from their mothers and families early to join monastery, separated from other monks, in exile from homeland, stuck up in their disassociated heads and rootless... This is also a common pitfall of Buddhism itself - if adherents mistake Buddhist "emptiness" for "nihilism." Then, they can start subconsciously denying & negating their own "existence." The odd thing is how they don't seem to recognize and effectively treat this common "spiritual" syndrome?

Actual results on the streets of this Looney Boomer activism: Less policing = more crime & murders. Worthy trade-off?

What are the 5 basic exercises? What's a good source of info about body psychology? And for an example, what if someone has a tough time balancing on their left leg with their eyes closed? What would that mean and where do you go from there?

I believe blood only contains your qi, not jing. That would perhaps require a semen transfusion?

Hmm, could you explain how exactly this happened and how you did this? Also, is it something you can replicate somewhat at will, or more of a "miracle" healing that happens rarely as a peak experience, but not as a repeatable baseline norm?
-
So, how do these similar types of trauma therapy differ & how do you actually apply them in practice? Levine's "Somatic Experiencing" sounds like "talk/feel therapy" to get the patient to safely imagine or act out his aborted attempts to fight/flight after the fact (of freezing)? How do you get them in the headspace to even do this, though? Trance or guided meditation doesn't seem required, but can just an ordinary conversation elicit the powerful sequence of responses that comprise healing? So...how would you actually conduct a session on yourself or another using the best synthesis of all these methods? I mean, there's already a lot of cross-pollination in them all as Pat Ogden was influenced by both Ron Kurtz (Hakomi) and Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing).

Often, I've found the "truth" to be just outside the textbook box. Follow the rules of thumb too rigidly, and you become robotic and lose the art. Neglect the rules of thumb entirely, and you become ignorant and lose the science. Mastery is understanding the intent of the "scientific" rules enough to know when to follow or "break" them artistically.

Doubtfully... True Yang is "always" hidden inside "outer" Yin. Like the white dot within the black fish: In Nature, this can be seen in exoskeletons (hard outside, soft inside) and endoskeletons (soft outside, hard inside).

Right, and this agenda was forced upon industry by government REGULATION, not deregulation. Had the CRA never passed, there would have been no ensuing snowball effect. Reflecting its own society, America itself is becoming a single teenage mom, "liberated" from her Father in favor of absent baby daddies instead. And the results of this rejection are very predictable. Just tour Detroit or any other inner-city ghetto... -

Accurate forecasting from 8 years before the housing bubble bust: Guilt enabling victimhood for votes has its price...and it's a very steep one. There's a reason why Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac were the first big dominoes to fall - and then drag the rest of the country down along with them: But again, this is just another long-term result of the relentless anti-Patriarchal cultural battle in the West. Where a complete teenage rejection of fatherly values (order, stern discipline, responsibility, self-control, tough love, delayed gratification, etc) actually becomes far worse than overly-strict ones. -

What do people think about this "rather paranoid" conspiracy theory about going toward the Light after death - just being a Grey alien ploy to recycle people as slaves? -

So, rob ants (including children & all post-Boomer generations) to pay grasshoppers again? So basically, if you don't believe in overunity economics, where output should miraculously exceed input (like where a country with 50% unemployed youth and lavish benefits should magically remain solvent)...then you simply have no understanding of economics! Like Looney Boomers, who ran up the largest debt in world history, obviously do!
