Land of "Advanced Races"...?

Possibly the reason why the foolish man laughed out loud was that he realized Tao immedeately when he heard of it...

Indeed, it does exist and after years of research I was even able to pinpoint its exact coordinates:

Also: For fat loss, it's important in what form you consume your calories. The body has no problem to transform carbohydrates and fat from nutrition into body fat. The body in theory could in a complicated way transform protein from nutrition into body fat or stored carbohydrates, but in reality (according to scientific studies) doesn't do it. In other words: The amount of calories you consume as protein will either be transformed into healthy body tissue or cells or will be burnt up as additional body heat (you will feel that), but most likely will not be stored as fat. That's also my personal experience. Conclusion: The higher the percentage of your consumed calories is in the form of protein, the better for fat loss! Stallone prepared for his Rambo and Rocky movies with an almost pure protein diet (around 1,200 cal per day) plus a cheat day on the weekends (4,000+ cal).

Also, intermittent fasting for fat loss with calorie restriction might not even work, depending on what you eat and when you eat it. My brother and I both became fatter and fatter (ugly pot belly!) by just eating one big meal of around 1,600 calories in the evening. But we lost fat (belly shrunk down again), when we changed the time point of eating the same meal to the morning. Why? Because the body decides daily anew to burn calories economical or not according to the calorie intake in the morning! In other words: Skipping breakfast might not be the wisest decision if your goal is fat loss!

Intermittent fasting works for health benefits, if in sum per time unit (for example if you look at the week in total) you consume at least 1/3 less calories than normal. Otherwise, it might work for fat loss, but not necessarily for health benefits. In other words: The key is calorie restriction (no matter how you organise it: One meal a day, eat every other day, etc.), reduction of calorie intake per week of at least 1/3 less than normal. That means: If you eat all your normal calories in a short time frame per day, it might have a fat loss benefit but will not have the huge health benefits associated with fasting.

People should not ask "Who are the highest masters?", they should instead ask "Who are the most basic masters?".

The most powerful masters in all arts are those who understood that sticking to and perfecting the basics gives the most bang for the buck.

An ominous heralding, considering the change of my persona / name was happening 2 hours before that...

And naked boobs in every mainstream movie. Today all the brainwashed hypocrites would cry out "sexism" / "bigotism" / "racism" etc. immedeately.

That's surely their longterm goal #1.

The Rainbow Body is always liberation in the bardo. The Great Transfer means liberation while being alive.

It's no secret that the Star Wars mythology, including the Jedi achieving a body of light and their physical bodies disappearing at death, was inspired by the Dzogchen system. So I asked myself if there is a hollywood movie which probably depicts specifically the Dzogchen achievement of The Great Transfer. Below is a scene of a hollywood movie which seems indeed inspired by The Great Transfer. The depicted details include: Imprinting the hand into solid rock, the aggregates of the body been liberated into their essences (therefore spontaneously the appearance of the body taking on every form the practitioner needs it to), visions (incl. bindus), opening of the kati channel (shining of clear light through the pupils), realization of the dharmakaya through sky gazing, direct insight into appearances of the environment etc. Pretty funny!
