Scholar Posted January 8, 2021 I dont care about englithment or anything like that, I seek power and dominance over those around me. Im gonna get every single secret of the most powerful daoist practices so I can get near my goal of power. Im summoning all daoist masters to teach me this art so I can flourish over my enemies and destroy(physically and/or mentally) those who DARE to oppose me.  Ps: I cant pay so teach me for free.

RiverSnake Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Never had much interest in Enlightenment when i first started training and i still don't. People train for various reasons. Having power is great...but as with all things, it must be tempered appropriately, to avoid harmful recoil.    Edited January 8, 2021 by RiverSnake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happiness is getting our desires FULLFILLED WITH NO RESTRICTION. Happiness is power and power is happiness.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

helpfuldemon Posted January 8, 2021 You want power? Educate yourself in something valuable, like science or politics. Learn the art of coercion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

helpfuldemon Posted January 8, 2021 You can learn power over yourself, but every person has their own power, and to overcome their Will to get yours is tricky buisiness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't agree more. Seeking is seeking to add to the self, add to the ego. A lot of those on the forum primarily seeking power tend to have a similar flavor when being communicated with.

XianGong Posted January 8, 2021 A rule of thumb if you meditate less time a day than taking a dump takes, you won't progress far. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
