No apology needed. Sorry My English is so bad. I think of Plato every workday because I drive buy Academy to go to work. But I think he is disappointed. Because in Syracuse he try to make good government but fail. Socrates is killed by politician. I think Plato want to be practical. He want philosopher to be head in body of society.

Ah but aristocracy mean to be ariston, to be the best, so aristocratic mean the best rule. If not the best, than by their own idea they should not rule. So Platonas saw they were not the best and try to make them the best. This his own motivation. He used mystic to get them to see they are mortal, but he is not reject wealth like Sokrates. Black woman you discuss is very brave.

Not wet blanket, I live very close to his old school! Platonas actually very practical, not like neoplatonic who take practical out. Plato want to make Athens better place. He want to make ruler wise.

Plato not really mystical. He have problem with class war. He is from rich, his uncle very bad rich man Kritias, and he try to make political correct. But he fail. Also try in Syracuse and fail. So he open school, try to teach rich how to be human being. Philosophy mean friend from the wise.

Jim not capable of sticking it to Kosta Danaos. Different quality of human being. He try many times to contact KOstas, ask many people for intermediary, but Kostas not interested, so ego wounded and he try to get back like child. You and other customers go ahead and pay him 300 euro, 700 euro, good for you, but if not for Kosta, no one know Jim name ever. This root of problem. Maybe better if you spend money somewhere else htough. Christ say in bible you may not serve God and Mammon. How Jim supposed to so Christian but charge money for meditation, good luck for answer?

Everyone has their own opinion and money is yours to spend as you like. For me, I wonder why bishop wear gold robes when jesus say give everything to poor. Maybe same for Chinese religion, maybe not, I don't know. But I only study meditaion because man who teaches this has same opinion - does not take money from student for teach or doctor, and his master the same, and his master the same, ect. Maybe this is just stereotype, maybe we are thinking like children, I don't know.

Verdesi say he is Level Four can make electric. Someone should go to seminar and force him to prove this. Maybe from Brazilian jiujitsu will be good. PUt video on youtube. In one word: yes. This is old school way. I am 45 not so old, but when I study martial art and taichi in before twenty five years, it very important philosophy that even fighting should be spiritual training. How can be commercial spiritual training? This very old question: why Orthodox Church or Catholic Church have so much money for example? But still everyone in their heart know right and wrong.

I never meet this man, but he visit Greece for one week when Kostas live in Dubai. He never meet Kostas. Some student tell him he is here with wife and baby and Kostas fell sorry and say send him to friend in US, ask him show meditation. After, is Sean everywhere represent Mo Pai say he is Kostas student - Kostas don't even remember the name. Then Kostas leave Mo Pai and Sean is David Vredesi vice-president or something. Anyway, Sean want to make name for himself and he manage to do this, good or bad, I don't know, up to him.

Who is immortal? Anyone ever meet? You mean John Chang? Don't look imortal to me. Also, what is taoismos? Not Chinese religion? How can be taoist not praying to taoist god? Very confusing all of this. Everyone want to be superman. About immnortal, they don't care. Only for Titan movie haha. Also, More_Pie_Guy, why yuo always post from Danaos' book? Is not Mo Pai bible, only from one man opinion. Is someone else suppose to write Mo Pai bible, Chinese guy Hemy together with Andreas, but cannot do. John tell Kostas to write book but cChinese student object, so Kostas stop and write his own book. I remember Kostas very distrubed this very long time ago, we don't even know name Mopai then, only from Ring of Fire. Maybe 1998, we are in another school before last school.

This also what Danaos say from before 12 year when he write second book. Also in interview. He believe everything physical and in Mind. Small mind and Mind. But is everythign in east and west all with politistic gift wrap and everyone have interest and try to protect for themselves. Like army security.

Hah hah yes, Kostas is bad, you are right. Like about ninja as prince sau, everything he write is so true they cannot change even they pay much money to find. Yes you knowo about Kostas and financial schemes. Kostas wants money so bad he never charge for teach or take student. Yes, you are right my friend. He no fool you. Bravo. Maybe he see where Mo Pai is going and don't want his name together to the people who are driving the Mo Pai to this place. Maybe he just want clear line between them and him. And he can do it if he want. That is what he is showing. Otherwise he doesn't care. In the future will show who is dick amd who is trying to protect. Then you ask yourself how you feel.

Sorry Earthbound but you are wrong. I dont know who you are, but I am Greek and old student of Kostas; I know him and his family. I know he is outside Greece 2005-2008; very easy to check this if you know where he works. Actually this has not to do with subject of thread really. But I feel before, and now we can see, you want to talk bad and feel important. So now you we can see. If you want to talk bad, though, be a man and say everything. You talk bad about student, but what is student name who is bad? Maybe they want to talk to you face to face, what you think?

@Earthbound, I knoq Kostas is not in Greece 2005-2008, so how is possible to have school? Maybe students have school. Also I know he has interest since 2002 only for study Greek history martial arts and his own pammachon. Nothing with Mo Pai since ten years for sure.

Kostas not have martial arts studio since water flood in 2002 and school close. Only private teaching. He is manager for billionaire company.

Hi. I am from Greece and new to the forum.

Greentiger I read your post and see that maybe some people understand so I decide to write. I am from Greece and study with Danaos from 1996-2000. I am in the audience when John Chang visit Greece in 2002. I am very angry that people criticize Danaos and include him with Jim, verdesi, others. They do not know the man. greentiger, what you say is why Danaos write Magus of Java. We speak many times of this and I recommend him better not to publish anything about John Chang, but he disagree. He is study for PhD in physics at the time he is writing Magus and one advisor is Nobel laureate. He is hoping to bridge science of east and west. Danaos is very complex man - he can do many things very well. Also, he does not afraid of almost anything it seems - he is very outspoken always, always saying exactly what he thinks, always fighting for what he think is right. But I know that Magus of Java was not supposed to be Mo Pai book - is other person who is supposed to write Mo Pai book instead of Kostas. Kostas ask permission to write his own book and John say yes. So he put many of his own ideas in book. Also second book is concepts from history and physics, not for Mo Pai. Also titles of two books is not from Kostas. I see Kostas together with John in May 2002. For sure John Chang look at him like member of family. I am very surprise when Kostas come back in September 2002 and say I no longer practice Mo Pai. When he explain, his own students don't believe him! They try to go to Indonesia - everyone want to be Kostas in Kostas place! But understand, Kostas was never "Kostas" in his mind - he is just looking for answers and speaking what he thinks is right. He want to find the primitive, he say, to find answers for future. This is his motto in Pammachon also. I am study with him for four years. He never charge me any money or anyone else. He give treatment with acupuncture to many people and make healthy with no charge. Always this man give-give-give, always many people accuse and say bad things about him - but never to his face, of course. When he write Magus book, there is no so much internet and no youtube. But he can see where the world is going and is very concern. Now everything he say is come true here in my Greece. But he never try to write Magus of Java for himself - always he is trying to do something to protect other people. Anyway sorry for make trouble but I get very angry with Jim for saying bad things about Kostas from far away.
