It’s a great day to slay a few false gods here and there, just sayin’ reminder that The Ancients planted a Garden somewhere, I think we need to revisit that wellspring

It’s been awhile since I’ve heard this, it is a classic timeless message.

I lost count long ago. Why do you think there are so many differing views from 'the experts' ?

Neiye could prove useful. as far as other classics, I'd say skip The Golden Flower and Taoist Yoga, they probably do work, as there are many different ways, but not sure how many lifetimes it could take to get results. @virtue gave you great advice "Understanding will come from personal practice and direct realization." If energetics is what you're into? study the Daoist medical theories. But that's not necessary, but it wont hurt, either. anyways, good luck on your path. and it is your path. Laozi wrote about his path. edit> oh yeah, i wanted to add that my idea of De is that De is Power. whether it is virtues or powers, it is entrapped inside of you---and you need to figure out how to release it// realize it

Hello maaca, It is always great to hear that we have a member who gained understanding by reading Dao De Jing. Maybe you will contribute to the commentary found here https://www.thedaobums.com/forum/254-daodejing/ If you are looking for a follow up read to that, I suggest https://www.thedaobums.com/forum/257-zhuangzi/ many that have walked the path through here left their footprints on those two links for later walkers along the path --- accessibility. I think zhaungzi could tell you; Nature provides us with many ways to go. Be skeptical of any claim of special access to guiding knowledge by self claimed sages, "ideal observers", or perfect exemplars of epistemic virtues. .

Looks like a hearse, like maybe the one that the dark spy from Mad magazine would drive in some scheme to thwart or bury the white spy. those two; spy vs spy, sure used a lot of retro tech. the mountain dew vending machine; perhaps would've even snared me at certain moments. i know sometimes i speak in ways you don't fully understand nungali. for clarification, i said, hearse, not

quite astute of you

had to give + 1 for Jacob Marley. @Toni is there a reason that you are not posting in the Current Events section? I fully support your right to voice your opinion and share your perspective. The Current Events section was created specifically for these types of discussions. I stand with @idiot_stimpy knowing full well or is it fool well?? regardless, I know I harbor delusions. I'd like to see the conversations concerning covid and/or politics continue in the ppf's or Current Events. .

sounds good. I've tried to turn a few of my friends on to Fox Farms in the past and they were like naw, we good, we got miracle grow and twenty year old chicken poop I knew it was best to let the conversation end. my guess is you consistently produce quality herb
