Somnus Posted May 13, 2017 Greetings, Dao Bums! My name is Somnus and I am a Left-Hand Path Practitioner in all manner of Right-Handed Spiritual Paths including but not limited to Buddhism of all Traditions, Daoism, Hinduism, Kaballah, Shintoism, Shingon, Thai Buddhism, Indian Asceticism, Malay Bomohs, Etc. Just wondering if anyone in the Dao Bums are so right-handed orientated that they are afraid of LHP Spiritualities. If so, then I think the Dao Bums isn't as universal as it should be. Somnus. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted May 14, 2017 Hello Somnus, and welcome. Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go. Please take the time to read the two posts pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum terms and rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started. For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day. Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you, Marblehead and the TDB team Hi Somnus, Well, I practice two sword Tai Chi so I am ready for your left hand path. You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started. May you enjoy your time here. Marblehead 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrpasserby Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Hello Somnus, I am new to Daoism, I hope that you enjoy posting hear. I have been generously cultivated while I have been attempting to convert my technology/magic, to Daoism terminology. I get along really well with many of the worlds travelers, some of which you may have encounter on the left hand path. no worries. Spoiler In my studies so far energy movers have the best potential of becoming those who are able to do their own original start up magic rather then relying on just their knowledge of manipulating a outside force to do it for them.

dawei Posted September 16, 2017 FYI: Somnus was banned as a returning puppet account... he keeps coming back in a new incarnation to be banned again. I guess he is rarely in the void 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You asked why he is unavoidable and I meant his power is to create an inability to be an avoider... Your desire to avoid or not is not within my power of voidance. he provides much more than eggs, rice and milk powder... He is providing a great dividing...

thelerner Posted September 21, 2017 I'd add, don't let the benign introduction fool you. If you tap on his name, and look at his older posts, you'll find most them deal with curses and calls for destruction of..lots of groups. If you look at his posts under a dozen different names, the tone is the same.. its not just wacko eccentric; its hating, cursing, I am messiah- kind of stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi thelerner, As per dawei, I had read some of your posts and creditability is registered. Thank you for adding weight to Avoidance. My earlier posts on this thread were nothing more than having fun playing words with other TDB members. The name Sxxxxs was irrelevant. The contents of the introduction to this thread were never on my mind. I am always wary/weary of negative energies. I will never ever "tap on his name, and look at his older posts". Why? I don't want to knowingly touch base with negativities. I would suggest the same to others. Why bother with the "curses and calls for destruction of..lots of groups"? Life is beautiful. It basks in the rays of sunrise and sunset thus: "Curses and calls for destruction" will be awashed by walking in the rain ... Avoidance to "curses and calls for destruction". - LimA Edited September 21, 2017 by Limahong Enhancement of sentence. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Limahong Posted September 22, 2017 40 minutes ago, dawei said: This member is a past banned member who keeps coming back ... Hi dawei, I think an appropriate response to such a member is a wu wei welcome . I suggest that TDB has this indicated - "A Wu Wei Welcome". And the rest is clear to unknowing members in terms of rectionary choice. Despite this indication, if anyone wishes to respond - it is all in the realm of 'free man, free world and free choice'. If I had known that Sxxxxx was such, I would have given the post a miss knowingly without judging. Somnus - surely you must have your reason(s) living in a free world. Take care and hope peace will descend upon you shortly if you are searching for it. A good weekend. TGIF. - LimA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
