I don’t know @virtue at all, so it’s really easy to be entirely positive as my default position is (or should be… ;-) ) I’m OK, You’re OK because that’s naturally every human’s default setting. So, it's probably his default position as well. Nice1 @virtue! Unfortunately, not knowing him leaves me at a loss to point out any of @virtue's specific valuable attributes, other than that he was the first member to jump onto this topic to help @Earl Grey’s excellent initiative* to rebuild this forum into what was, I believe, @sean's outstanding vision for it when he founded it. So, @virtue can be very quick to spot the positive and build upon it. * He has demonstrated leadership by example and real humility, both of which are attributes of a genuine teacher. PS @steve, a truly dedicated practitioner, got here before I'd finished writing my own response. PPS Sorry about the cheat in tagging 4 people in my response.

Do you actually understand this card?

Greetings and welcome. It can be an interesting and useful card to play but variety is also the spice of life.

Good to see you around again Serene.

Let's PM, if you're interested?

Thanks go out to @old3bob for this one.

I should probably clarify that I can explain it entirely within a framework of mainstream Western psychotherapy or by using various frameworks of either Western or Eastern mysticism and religion.

I know - thank God it's gone. Newbies are a lot safer for it and existing members can do something far more productive IRL instead of wasting even more time. So what that there are only a few Chaturbate recruiters here? Why would more bother turning up if they're chaturbating away over there and some of you are landing them the occasional fresh fish from here?

JMO...

Utterly clueless...

No, I don't believe that. It's far more complex and nuanced and it depends entirely upon the individual's particular makeup, including their current physical, mental and emotional health, their existing belief system, their culture, what "spiritual practices" they've done previously (if any) and several other more esoteric factors. Fortunately, most people are entirely immune to parasites like Jeff but unfortunately, a few have little or no natural immunityand those particularly susceptible can often be drawn to online spiritual forums, which is one reason why they're Jeff's favourite hunting grounds. Potential victims are a lot safer here (now this cult's been been outed) than they were previously and with few (or no) fresh fish upon which to feed the cult will go extinct anyway. Just look at theprimordialway.com - dead as a dodo, which is why they gravitated here.

I couldn't care less myself. Most people reading what you write will consider that you (and the remainder of your rapidly dwindling online chat group) are deranged anyway; especially after reading this thread. Forewarned is forearmed, so if anyone else wants to join up, on their own heads be it. Some people actually need to learn about people like you the hard way, so from my perspective you're performing a public service now because you're all clear example of what to avoid on any spiritual path. Feel free to carry on. Regarding 2) - you're entirely unqualified yourself. A fact that you've previously admitted. That being the case, it follows that my dogs actually have infinitely more healing ability than do you.

I know exactly what's going on and why it varies so much from individual to individual. Incidentally, it's not what you've hypothesised here.

That's quite astonishing Cheya... Can I ask if, when you refer to projection, you're alluding to psychological transference and, if so, are you able to identify the elements of: Complementary transference Concordant transference Destructive transference and Facilitative transference in your critics? Furthermore, are you able to identify your own counter-transference and, if so, do you consider it to be (predominantly): Complementary reactive (and/or proactive) counter-transference Concordant reactive (and/or proactive) counter-transference Destructive reactive (and/or proactive) counter-transference Facilitatative reactive (and/or proactive) counter-transference? I ask because, from reading what you've written, my intuition is that it was (and is) predominantly a toxic mixture of reactive and proactive destructive counter-transference, as that's what generally forms the basis of the gaslighting and victim-blaming, which many have noticed is a defining a feature of the Chaturbate cult's egregore (to borrow @ilumairen's useful descriptor). However, perhaps I'm as mistaken as all the rest of your critics and you and the rest of your mob are the only ones with access to the font of all spiritual truth..?

I warned these people years ago when they started to fuck around with this stuff... If you go diving any light that you encounter is very unlikely to be the Light (of the Sun).

Thankfully, he's now been trained to use the catflap.

No. You'd resigned (and I was told that Apech was sacked for failing to clean out his own litter tray...). Incidentally, that thread was initially pinned at the top of the Buddhist subforum.

Chi Dragon is highly entertaining and an extremely useful barometer (because he's almost invariably wrong). Not only that but he certainly catalyses some extreme reactions in people, which demonstrate clearly the difference between the wheat and the chaff (e.g. the de facto Taoists and the pseudotaoists...). I particularly enjoyed reading dawei's admin notice because it calls out his own behaviour and that of his Chaturbate cult and its enablers and supporters, so thanks for digging that up and posting it here ZYG. What goes around comes around, eh @dawei.. (et alia)?

Now, does anyone still believe that @sean made a mistake by getting rid of the trailer trash?

Still struggling with my previous contributions towards cleaning up the Buddhist sub-forum here (or elsewhere): Or did you take my historical, generalised and light-hearted remarks about pseudointellectual pseudobuddhists or tediously boring twats personally?
