supernatural implies that science has not been able to quantify a phenomenon, or objectify it. (although, imo, anyone trying to seek only objectification; dismissing everything else, loses credibility) we recognize we exist in 3d---other dimensions, whether, 9,10, 11,,,fit mathematically in a universe. there are multiverse theories as well that fit mathematically. acknowledging only what can be totally objectified in 3d, seems, unnaturally limiting. by the very definition of supernatural, it can never be backed up by objective evidence.

I am aware of two instances on this site: Seeking having done it on this thread to natural and Threeleaf doing it to a post of Nungali's. Three current mods agreed this is perma ban offense. If there are previous examples of this on this site; feel free to report it. Even if it is water under the bridge at this point (if it occurred under previous mods) it could still be useful putting members who use this tactic on my radar. Or PM me if you like. Certainly file a report of future violations. In both cases that I was aware of, the Ban Hammer was swift. Apologies to Earl Grey and ralis that this happened to your posts on this site. It probably is a good idea to pin a post regarding this type of infraction. I doubt a rule was specifically worded to fit this transgression. I wouldn't have thought it necessary TBH, seems obvious, yet,,,here we are. It does fall under Mod discretion. Admin has broader discretion to address whatever may surface. It may be a good idea for members/new members to review the moderation logs

Unanimous decision. BANNED. DO NOT EDIT ANOTHER MEMBER'S POST--EVER Twice this has happened, Twice the ban hammer fell.

I think it is run by Starjumper7. Third forum on Daoist related art, philosophy, etc ? There are more than that, I’d think,

Not my website. another Forum for those looking to look around beyond TDB for things related to Chi Development// energetics. I haven't had the chance to look it over yet, but, i'm hoping to over the holidays. https://alineageofdragons.com/forum/

You should probably trust your gut the first time.

I thought about a thread to show various slice of life from different geographies. We are all one. Any bum is welcome to post some video and/or commentary regarding daily life in various locales. Political speak is strictly forbidden. I decided to open this thread with a view from rural Ukraine. Our guide today is Pavlo. Obligatory Beatles song in box. for my tastes, I would prefer days in the Ukraine countryside rather than in London. I reckon, I'm in the minority with my opinion (as usual). Is the grass always greener? Perhaps, someone will post commentary or video depicting daily life in London, that we may contrast and compare? I could sell my hobbled pickup truck and buy the rural property in Ukraine. Likely, that i won't; but, what a fascinating possibility. Welp, bums, that's my contribution to a day in the life, slice of life, for today. Thank you Pavlo and John for sharing your respective perspectives. Peace, Health, Contentment, to all.

Celebrated the end of the semester and my sculptures of Darkness & Dies (Day) with three draws off some dabs. I drew those facing a mirror. an exponential amount of smoke exhales in relation to the amount I thought I inhaled. After the second draw, eyes glazed and all american red, white, and blue. After the third draw, there was no white remaining.

Thank you @Gerard and thank you @Nungali maybe, one day, I will have the good fortune to meet up with kookaburra & pied butcher bird. Thank you @Mig for creating this delightful thread; which may have traveled along a tangential line you didn't anticipate?! such is the way of discussions on the way, here on TDB. "do they know 無為: wúwéi and is it what first Daoists saw to bring forth this concept?" --Mig deep thought ! perhaps your question is a solid hypothesis; may be. "first Daoists" being astute; closely studying nature may have learned the concept from animals. another possibility is that wuwei naturally arises in nature and was available to animals and "first Daoists" alike. very curious thing, the nature of Nature. perhaps, the inconceivable nature of Nature.
