awwwwww fiiiiiiiine I will stop making jokes about homeless people and you will stop judging people by how much wealth they might or might not have, deal? Maybe I could just get lots of money from somewhere else and parade in a nice suit and call myself the smarted enlightened person ever but that wont work and you know it. If I listen to some random rich guy who just thinks he's smart and a thousand other people listen to the rich guy, he will loose his money because of the focus on the wealth. Let's say two rich people walk into the room and one of them got the money given to him by someone else while the other worked for it. You can instantly tell which one worked for it and which one is a fraud by talking to them. You talk to the both of them and the fraud lies so he wont be found out. Because you don't know the lie from the truth, you assume both are frauds just in case. Too bad you are here on business and you need the contract with the real guy so you need to see through the fraud right now. Their wealth is not important right now so you look past that and try to see the truth. They both look the same right now but they have a different history, different past and different future. In the past one of them had an idea that he turned into business and the investors gave him money that he used with his customer's money to create the look he has now and you hope he will keep looking like that in the future because you want some of his money. The other one had an idea in the past to rob a bank or something. He looks great now but in the future he will go to jail so you don't want to associate with him. If you are in the same profession, you can ask them both some questions and one of them is going to crack under pressure. If nothing works, you can use the "learn from the devil" technique. I heard the stories of attachment of a student to the teacher and how it made the student weaker with each generation. A student would work very hard but not hard enough so he never reaches the master's level because he loves the master for giving him so much as it is and doesn't want to take his title away, too. Also there are excuses like, "Oh he can do the horse stance for that long because he is a maaaaaster, maybe when I'm as old as that I could do that stuff." It's kinda a Taoist thing and this is a Buddhist section buuuuuut... You know what they say about attachments how the longer you hold onto something the worse will be the pain of loosing it. How if you are so rich, you obviously gonna get attention of thieves. How you have high expectations of the teacher in front of you and how later a stronger master beats him up. Duality stuff, eh. Maybe I should have wrote this sentence first but there are people out there who love to read. Don't judge, just learn. Maybe that person is not very good at this and maybe it's the great and all awesome Buddha. Make the knowledge you get pure just take it without strings attached. Maybe you are not the smartest person in the room but you still have something to say, say it anyway. IT'S KNOWLEDGE! A grain of sand knowledge is heavier then tons of real gold! You have it but someone doesn't, make us both richer. Ah! I derailed it, too. MORE KNOWLEDGE FOR EVERYONE!

Ask a hobo down the street how to make a lot of money. He obviously doesn't have any on him since he gave it all away to people who need it more. Like banks

It's not purely de age kinda stuff, this super antioxidant can almost halt the cell oxidation process and then the body will need rebuild by itself or with help of some supplements But I'm not pro at that sort of stuffffff

Why is there so much disrespect in the Taoist tradition?
Protector replied to Cameron's topic in General Discussion
The more familiar to me stuff you guys mention, the closer I feel to you So fighting sounds hilarious, it's like bashing yourself -
Making it is very dangerous so I'm only familiar with the plant

The stone is sulfur which is normally poisonous but when it's processed the right way, it becomes a very powerful antioxidant. Already processed sulfur can be found in plants like black garlic, but it's usually poisonous because of sulfur in it.

To make a better Earl Grey I threw into a pot orange peals, a strawberry, some jam, sugar for sweetness, and another tea bag since it's a big pot. Didn't taste like Earl Grey anymore
