For those of you who are PMing me questions you can first make a $20 donation to http://paypal.me/ecoechocultivation and then I will do a four hour full lotus meditation session for you to properly answer your question.

thanks for your interest.

Or, I'm sure we could crowdfund you $20 if you would finally post up even just a 5-minute video of you in full lotus giving a random stranger an O&D?  Seriously, the internet NEEDS this!  Not to mention, many women would gladly pay you $20 a pop as volunteers!

I just donated $.01 to you.  I hope it helps.

 

(Actually, if you could meditate up one of those remote orgasms for me like you did to that lady in the coffee shop years ago, I'd cough up a little more).

 

 

 

Sadly, that was years ago  .... he cant get it psychically 'up' any more .

 

 

 

HOWEVER ....  and entirely co-incidentally , I just happen to have 'on hand' a fresh supply of 'psychic Viagra '

$5 !  ??     Cheap skate ! 

 

( Have you ever looked into the etymology of the word cheap skate  ?  It has its origin  in a stingy fish that would not pay an octopus for a hand job

Can anyone tell me what a skill of sitting 4 hours in full lotus actually gives?

 

What are the fruits of this practice?

 

I believe it closes some of the lower meridians (leg) thus enhancing circulation of the higher ones.  I think.  Ultimate fruit seems to be legendaries who've gone into caves hit the position and stayed in deep meditation for weeks/months.. becoming saints.. kinda thing.  See India Holy Men.  

 

But more to the point voidisyinyang is eccentric (aren't we all), but rarely insulting,  he's sharing his point of view, trying to help people. Like it or ignore it, he's a fellow member and these insults beyond a comment or two are mean spirited and not what this board is about, imo.

Thats a blunt admission .  

 

But anyway , I suppose if you aren't getting it, you dont need the psychic Viagra in the first place .

If you try and ignore him he occupies almost every single thread on Daoism to copy-and-paste grand speculative screeds about things like light from the future and the supposed (and evidently quite imaginary) aversion to ejaculation of Bushmen people. My observation is that if people disagree with him he actually quite regularly becomes insulting and just does more copying-and-paste flooding, only then with giant, red highlighted fonts. 

 

Why does board membership get anybody a pass? Does this mean that as long as somebody registers an account on TDB, they're allowed to do and say whatever they want? Seems a bit arbitrary to me. What happens if @TheRealTronaldDump gets an account here?

 

Maybe some of us here are being mean spirited. But Void is an unrepentant proponent of energetic child molestation with questionable meditation teachings who is constantly trawling for naive followers (and now money). Nothing else has gotten through to him and he is not banned. Kinda leaves people who find his stories gross in a bind, eh?

Thank you for this.  I thought there was value in returning with Voidisyinyang to the O at a D topic to see if his thinking about that had changed from back in the day; it`s clear to me now that Drew is who he is and no amount of arguing with him online about it is going to change anything.  Bums who think his behavior rises to a ban-worthy level are free to take the matter up with Sean.

 

Making fun of Voidisyinyang is easy but the thrills are cheap and, as you say, not representative of the best this board has to offer. I will stop.

I'm glad to see the "imo" at the end of your post. And my opinion is much different. 

 

I think it is natural for people to respond in the manner they have, and the humor you see as mean spirited is an outlet for, and reasonable response to, the years of misogynistic self-aggrandizing psuedo-spiritual b.s. this individual has subjected anyone willing to read his posts to.

 

If you honestly believe his posts to not be insulting, then either you've completely missed his view of (and apparent belief in his right to energetically dominate) women, or you don't see any issue with this. 

 

In either case, I disagree with you, and reject your chastisement.

 

(Which has left out the walls of large red font and clear derision towards anyone who disagrees with him...)

 

Yeah, no. A very direct and clear no. I don't acquiesce to calls for "niceness" in the face of such "eccentricity".. what an interesting euphemism for somebody who has acted as he has all these years.. he's not some friendly uncle with a collection of sugar spoons and bells.

I'm discovering at this stage in my life there is little which irritates me more than calls to civility, aside from seeing people heeding the call and silencing themselves.

 

[ilumairen]

And let's not overlook the very title of this thread invites commentary regarding not only the "me" of the title, but the "scandal" this "me" creates by his understanding of what happens when he sits full lotus.. which is (according to the individual) unintentional but bragged about o at a d's for young (underage in some of the tales) and unsuspecting women.

You´ll be glad to know then that I don´t intend to silence myself entirely.  I agree with you that Voidisyinyang behavior has been and is reprehensible.  Energetic rape is not OK.  I´ve said it before and will say it again should the occasion arise.  Voidisyinyang is unrepentent and if there´s a push to ban him from the board I will support that effort.

 

What´s not so useful, in my opinion, is making fun of him.  While we may entertain ourselves, such posts are unlikely to have any positive effect on Voidisyinyang himself.  To me it´s a little like gossip.  And I say this as an inveterate gossiper.  Gossiping about other people is fun, no question, but it´s a low vibe kind of talk.  It´s not the kind of talk that lifts us up.  Everybody deserves to be treated with dignity, even the most dispicable among us.  The best version of myself posts things on the internet that foster inclusion and belongingness.  That´s the kind of Bum I want to be.  Making fun of people -- even of Voidisyinyang -- doesn´t jive with that vision.

Yeah well, thats 'The Learner' for you !    

 

'Drew is is only trying to help people '             ( D ude makes a thread saying he is being flooded by PMs (he isnt ) from people that want his help (they dont)  and he offers to sit in Lotus 'for them'   IF they pay him .    

 

yes, let's start feeling sorry for him and write a post chastising all of us .

 

The perception is low in this one

IMO dignity, respect, honour etc are things EARNED  not given automatically .

 

Attack, derision   and the like are also earned .

What about the effect on others? Like a young woman who may stumble into this place when his posts are left unchecked and believe the silence is condoning and accepting.

One could save $20 by following a few simple steps. Set an incense burner on the floor, light incense, and then straddle the rising smoke.

I liked the jokes too -- they were funny.  And I agree with @Apech about the value of humor.  It´s just that I also see TheLerner´s point and think that it´s too much after awhile.

 

If his unchecked presence here creates an environmnent where people don´t  feel good about hanging out then lets do something about it.  Why not suggest that he be banned?  (Perhaps you already have and I´ve not been privy.)  As I´ve said, I would support such a move.  If people aren´t allowed to make transphobic comments here than it´s not too much of a stretch to think we could also ban energetic rapists.  Especially ones who continue to see nothing wrong with their past actions.  Of course Sean might not go for that idea.  I have no idea.  Suggesting a ban sends a clear message that his views and past actions are not accepted here.

[Walker]

I vote in support. 

 

And I agree with ilumairen that silence is tantamount to condoning and accepting, especially with a guy who sometimes posts so much that there's hardly a thread he's not holding court in.

[Apech]

No. No. No. No banning for past transgressions - ban for rule breaks (which may include hate speech if so deemed by Sean).  We are DBs not the moral majority - not the not-so silent majority.  Do you want to propel us back to the 1950's?

 

First of all none of us know what actually transpired in those MacDonalds of yesteryear - what if more or less nothing happened and it was all just in his mind.  So there was only imagined 'O at a D' and then we are banning someone just for thinking something.  Thought crime.  And we are the Ministry of Truth.

 

Second - suppose it did happen - then what is the pathway to redemption?  To be dispatched to the wilderness or to be left here where we can take the piss out of him as long as we like.  As cultivators of various types we have to believe in pathways to renewal and liberation.  Otherwise what are we doing here?

YES YES YES. I wish the rest of the world would follow this instead of dredging up youthful folly of people in the 1980s or old Twitter posts. It's as though forgiveness has become out of vogue as condemnation is in fashion.
