Plenty of members suffer psychosis. Seriously, kids: don't try this at home. They're worse than cocaine addictions. "they are a cult." Quote We are a group of rational freethinkers. We encourage skeptics to practice and see for themselves. We want people to base their beliefs on their own observations, and on the best evidence available to them. We do not want anyone accepting anything as true based on someone else's personal testimony, because a book says so, or on faith. We do not worship any humans, demigods, gods, goddesses, demons, spirits, etc. No one is required to pay homage to anything or anyone. We do not charge money, and we do not accept donations. In our opinion this makes us as anti-cult as it gets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they believe in something else it is fine but he mentioned people being atheists so it begs the question what the motivation for people who don't believe in the spiritual dimension of mopai is. There's much which doesn't make sense to me regarding this group.. Especially the "free thinkers" bit when it comes to the "See 'n Say" type responses - pull the string, the arrow spins, and when it stops predetermined noise manifests. 3 minutes ago, Zork said: I think they are underestimating the egregore of the system they claim to be a branch of. They may have created their own in the process. Who knows? I don't know, although it is not something I would recommend playing with to anyone - unless I really really didn't like them, and there is no one I dislike this much. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm short on time, but may return to this. 4 minutes ago, MegaMind said: How does us being freethinkers not make sense to you? It's the rote responses. The people you are communicating with here may share underlying themes, but their responses are all reflective of their own natures, experiences, and understanding. When it comes to your group, any one of you could be interchanged for another, and we'd have the same handful of phrases presented over and over again - with little to no personality coming through. It's what the guys here have referred to as "group speak," and one of the primary reasons I've limited my response to you. It's too much like pulling the string of a See 'n Say - predictable, unengaging, and honestly mildly droll (teetering on outright boring) making further communication on my part mostly nonsensical. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here in this environment there is little that we can say without giving our adversaries more ammunition to attack us with. It is unfortunate that things are this way, but indeed they are. While you see this as hiding, we see it as necessary. Hopefully in the future things will change, but as they are right now this is the best we can do. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strange--what I said in the original thread was never an attack against you until you presumed it was and attacked me, and so I responded in kind. Paranoia, paranoia Everybody's coming to get me Just say you never met me I'm running underground with the moles, digging holes Hear the voices in my head I swear to god it sounds like they're snoring But if you're bored then you're boring The agony and the irony, they're killing me. I'm not sick but I'm not well And I'm so hot, cause I'm in hell I'm not sick but I'm not well And it's a sin, to live this well One, two, three, four. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course it is a lie but we expect from him to have at least the decency to admit that they are not a legitimate fragment from the lineage but simple copyright thieves. As it was mentioned above many times, nobody in the dao bums would care to bother if they said that they practice something similar to what John Chang practices and that they cannot duplicate what he does. They deliberately leave the notion that they are part of MoPai hanging and that what they practice actually leads somewhere instead of a dead end. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you practiced other systems? Flying Phoenix, Soaring Crane, Doo Wai, Temple Tai Chi, Frank Bardon, Shaktipat from a real master? I guess you couldn’t handle a Shaktipat transmission which can be mind blowing. Find a Sufi master and see what it feels like! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
