Cleansox Posted January 31, 2020 Going through years of posts here, I have found @Earl Grey and @freeform to be frank in confronting ideas they disagree with, and the technical parts of their discussions have, in the majority of cases, been in line with what I have been taught and/or experienced during my years of practice. Yes, it can be annoying to hear, and no, they will generally not post better methods, but that is in line with how many traditions function. If you look at the forum at large, I would say that there is less politeness here now than before. Probably a sign of "freedom". I hope I will enjoy my stay here, and that you will do the same. But I also plan to not talk about details of my practice, because why invite a stranger to chew me of? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's that saying that goes something like: "Someone who tries to teach themselves internal arts has a fool for a teacher and an idiot for a student"? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sagebrush Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) no- the saying is fool me once-shame on you fool me twice-shame on me. I am so past giving a shit if anyone likes or dislikes what I have to say. Edited January 31, 2020 by sagebrush Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incorrect - that is a different saying, the original saying still stands even if you had not heard about it before. 4 hours ago, sagebrush said: I am so past giving a shit if anyone likes or dislikes what I have to say.

Not so much as disagreeing but trying to help people avoid endangering themselves and their health or mental stability, outside of karmic issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, when you posted this, you had been here less than a week.. There is so much material on this site, that you could not have gone through 1% in that amount of time.
