You might try asking people (or searching for the accounts of on here) who have actually met him...what they thought? According to one more questionable source...Wang Liping could even walk through walls as a measure of full (not just "mental") Enlightenment?

It means you are consciously becoming aware of Jungian synchronicity and our underlying, nonrandom, supersymmetry.

Your worthless college degree....let's share your story.
gendao replied to ChiForce's topic in The Rabbit Hole
Sounds like great fun...but absolutely NO NEED to pay a college for that type of "Dead Poets/Goodwill Hunting" experience! You could totally do that completely freely on your own anytime, anywhere, at your own discretion! This country MIGHT be able to afford that...IF we had wise money management and weren't already tens of trillions in debt and vastly outspending the rest of the world on military offense, etc. But given our current predicament, without first paying off our bottomless debts, replacing our FRB fiat cabal currency and making MASSIVE budget cuts...this is just another absolutely LUDICROUS & irresponsible Baby Boomer vote-whoring proposition worse than an MLM pyramid scheme! Seriously, at least a pyramid scheme is based off an obvious mechanism that will logically profit the people at the top... But how do you simply propose a trillion dollar program with no means to fund it??? -
...Try doing stand-up?

So instead of simply admitting you were completely WRONG, you shifted the goalposts to save face? And then attempt to shame and guilt-trip me for merely correcting and holding you accountable? Which I guess was still easier than admitting that your entire outraged argument was...based off your own bad math error. Or would you have been just as indignant at underachieving Detroit students getting $1400 more per year than average? If so, then what would be sufficient? $20,000 and new cars? But let me guess - you are a Baby Boomer?

One thing that shocks me is anyone past 4th grade who somehow thinks that $11,100 - $9600 = $500 (and not $1400)??? If you can't even do the simplest math, then how can you fully comprehend more complex social issues? Although I certainly agree that neither $500 nor $1400 can compensate for the lack of good parents and lifestyle choices, etc...which all starts and ends in the home. Money (or lack thereof) is merely a symptom of deeper behavioral problems, not the primary cause (which is why it can't fix them). Another point I made here.

That's not very usable to grow any crops with, that need sunlight and vertical growing space, not mostly shade... Solar stations should be located on non-arable land, like the Kalahari Desert.

Damo Mitchell on why we shouldn't shout at each other on the internet

Interesting. He doesn't take it quite that far yet...but basically corroborates in the direction of what I said here. -
Why don't 'high level' beings post on internet forums?
gendao replied to Songtsan's topic in General Discussion
Very cool, what's TSM? Your innate Dao might be that of "pattern recognition" - losing yourself and finding the Dao through recognizing, repeating, recreating, etc... its natural patterns? Just like Dawei's innate Dao might be "animal backtracking"... And Hundun's might be "ego-peeling"... -

I've learned from a few outer schools, but my primary path right now is my own inner school. My personal Campbellian Dao. Why and you? -
Why don't 'high level' beings post on internet forums?
gendao replied to Songtsan's topic in General Discussion
1) Most 'high level' beings lived before the Age of Industrialization several generations ago and are no longer even alive today... 2) Most of the 'highest level' beings still alive today are older, don't speak English, aren't computer/internet-savvy and thus don't post on forums. Basically, the internet tends to select for younger people, who are less likely to be 'high level.' And the English part of the internet also weeds out those whose primary/only tongue is not English...like most of the 'high level' masters today... What you're more likely to find on the internet is: -
Your worthless college degree....let's share your story.
gendao replied to ChiForce's topic in The Rabbit Hole
Or so says college brochures, lol. But fact is, while STEM majors are a profitable investment, Liberal Arts can actually be a financially losing one... Not all degrees are equal...some not by a long shot...so choose wisely, or pay the price! -

No. Actually, Hitler apparently met his 17-yo wife when he was 40...so I'd say even he actually had more "luck" with women than you currently do today. Have you tried growing out a funny mustache?

The funny thing is that the same guilt-tripping Baby Boomers who pushed for 50 years of "affirmative action" restitution now...which led to more underqualified workers by prioritizing diversity over merit...then complained when this led to companies eventually hiring more qualified & efficient homogeneous Chinese overseas instead. It turned out that in the end, in the globally-competitive "free market," VALUE (worth/cost) is the top criteria and "diversity" is effectively irrelevant by comparison. As may be evidenced by the death spiraling bottom line of the Baby Boomer reign:

Yea, but you specifically assumed (racially-profiled) all the cops as being White with genetic racial bias in their DNA. (Which I suppose is akin to assuming all the looters were Black with looting in their DNA?) I suppose that is certainly not impossible, but was clearly disproven in this instance at least. At this juncture, you could have stopped to question your own prefab beliefs and mistaken bias...or doubled-down and looked for a new loophole to preserve your worldview and self-worth derived from your racial Rescuer role. So, with option #2...you chose to pass the buck on up to some assumed White superior. In this case, it presumably then stopped at the highest-ranking cop on the Baltimore force there - Police Commissioner Anthony Batts? Problem for you then, is that's he's also Black (and previously married to a Democratic Congresswoman, no less), not White. Again, this does not support your Baby Boomer racial bias. So again, you reach the same crossroads... Self-inquiry or pass the buck on again until you can finally "prove" your own belief to be "true?" Who's next then...the US Attorney General? No...then the President? Your move. Again, this dynamic is the classic Karpman Drama Triangle - that defies clear logic in favor of tortured emotional drama. In this instance, Sgt. Manitou's Bleeding Hearts Club Band play the Rescuer...Blacks are the blameless Victims who can do no wrong and Whites are the Persecutors who can do no right (always ultimately at fault, no matter what). So, for manitou to ever hold any Black "victim" self-responsible/at fault or exonerate any White "persecutor," would require her to relinquish her Rescuer role - and primary source of self-worth. But until she realizes her own innate self-worth, this is not likely to ever happen...and she will actually keep enabling and perpetuating this miserable triangle of mass dysfunction!

White-Guilt Baby Boomer racial-profiling racism...lulz... Well, you will be happy to know that due to the public witch hunt, all the "White" cops involved have now been charged with crimes up to murder, for the driver, Officer Caesar Goodson. It was a pretty diverse gang of "racist White" cops - with 3 White males, 2 Black males & 1 Black female - who all couldn't help but react according to their ancestral White guilt DNA response...lol. But, now all these Caucasian pigs will be brought to justice for their racial hate crime! Hallelujah!!!

Half or full lotus...if your legs are getting numb, that probably means they are pressing against each other too hard...which most likely means you are not flexible enough and not really ready for it.

And you probably have more than 2 main political parties too... I think the early career triaging is fantastic and would be great if the US adopted it. But, America is just very polarized and not that bright. I agree. Socialism (and any form of collectivism) basically works as well as its lowest common denominator - which can completely vary per each society. So, it works best in homogenous societies of ants (like Germany), less well in mixed societies of ants & grasshoppers and is a complete FAIL in homogeneous societies of grasshoppers (like Detroit, Baltimore, etc). Grasshoppers will always want socialism though, because it allows them to leech off ants. Note how many of them will demand wealth redistribution...but never labor redistribution, lol. Whereas ants would generally only want it if it was with other ants, but no grasshoppers. Basically, it's like when a clean roomy rooms with a messy one. The clean roomy loses and the messy one gains because the clean one will end up cleaning the place up more just because they can't stand it themself.

It may easily take years (like ~5+) of preparation to attain the babylike flexibility in your kua and spine necessary to sit in full-lotus properly. So, if you think you can just start sitting like that off the bat, you are likely naively delusional. Full-lotus meditation is a very advanced practice that can be easily underestimated by n00bs..
-
Good question. Well, it is today - for one example. BTW, although Detroit spends $11,100 per student vs the national average of only $9600, only 25% of them even graduate! So ironically, more money is not always the solution to the underlying causes of poverty. Can someone explain what happened here and why? How can a community receiving soooo many huge monetary handouts...turn into a burnt-out 3rd world poverty zone? Because again, you must find the actual bottlenecks to find the best fixes possible.
-
So, sounds like a LOT of people, including the President, all agree with this basic observation - dysfunctional families create dysfunctional communities. And in particular, single motherhood is a primary cause of poverty. Wow, who knew??? A single mom with 6 kids...is far more likely to be poor!? And therefore, communities/races/cultures with more single moms - regardless of all other factors...are also more likely to be poor by extension! Go figure!
-
The Prophet Obama is on Fox News now? And as Obama noted...no employers are going to set up shop in a riot/looting-prone urban warzone with very few qualified or even willing workers... A competitive business must locate by the best customers and best workers it can afford to...not the worst. You really think many businesses, much less any industry leader like Google or Apple, would set up shop here??? Would you?

The eyeroll is for the warped modern counterculture inversion of a functional family - whose importance is even stressed in ancient teachings like the chakra system. Despite what modern social anarchitects tell you, to be truly healthy as a human (and community), you need a healthy family unit/relations as a foundation. This is age-old wisdom encoded in our natural spiritual anatomy - and does not get overridden by modern social fads. So, why shouldn't fathers be responsible parents - it's only natural? Humankind has been around for hundreds of thousands of years and most civilizations have had 2-parent families for centuries, millenia or more now. But all of a sudden now, that basic natural unit is no longer "possible?" And you do realize that a lot of healing does involve "going back" to resolve the initial trauma - not just "progressively" moving "forward?" That is good news, along with the mother disciplining her son... These kids need MORE tuff love, parental supervision & discipline...not less (enabling, guilt-ridden excuses)! Of course, that was just a mere band-aid over the fact that she chose to have 6 kids presumably without a reliable father... A small drop in the bucket...but still a great START!
-
LMAO - so basically you are saying that there are no jobs available for low SES families "regardless of race"...except for mainland Asians & poor Korean and Arab ESL immigrants (qualified SPECIFICALLY by race)? BTW, you do realize that those are small businesses started by themselves, not jobs from employers? Which means, they were actually job CREATORS, not "TAKERS." Whereas someone without such an indoctrinated racial victim mentality might instead perceive it as - if impoverished minority Asians and Asian ESL immigrants can find available jobs here, class mobility and form stable families...then why can't ANY native-born American? Actually, such gender role division is naturally-evolved, which is why it has worked better (more efficiently) than other arrangements over time. I think men should help out whenever possible, but men can't give birth and breastfeed by nature. And when you "progressively" rebel against Nature (very anti-Daoist)...you will generally suffer some consequences, especially in the long run... Single mothers are generally not self-sustaining. Nor can they replace an actual loving real FATHER. So, they usually end up relying far more on outside help from taxpayers and/or extended family. While still leaving a big gaping emotional hole in the family/child - that often gets filled with addictions later, if not good therapy. Thus, in large numbers, they inevitably form sociopathological ghettos. See Detroit, Baltimore, Rust Belt, etc... Yet the funny thing is how many Baby Boomers who (pretend to) hate their fathers define anything anti-natural as "progressive?" Replacing the "oppressive" 2-parent family with "liberated" single baby mamas "who don't need no man (except Uncle Sam)" = YOU GO STRONG GIRL!!! WTF LMFAO - the Black female mayor actually "helped" incite the civic destruction...and it took the White male GOVERNOR to call in the NATIONAL GUARD to implement the curfew!!! ...Are we all living on the same planet???
