Lha Bho Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) "Nothing on the Top but a Bucket and a Mop & an Illustrated Book about Birds." - Kurt Cobain in Plateau by Nirvana And! The saying "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely." is just a discouragement towards good people seeking change told by the powers that be, imho.

Master Logray Posted January 8, 2021 Internal training in Taoism requires stilling the body and the mind, the longer the better. Having a lot of money and power is only useful under normal living. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wu Ming Jen Posted February 10, 2021 For ultimate power I do 5 pushups a day. I run a 1/2 mile every day! Even when my body is sore and my mind gives up I keep on going! After meditating for a few seconds and my body is sore and my mind is distracted I never give up! I push on and meditate the other second no matter what! Also become vegan is important one will become exhausted more quickly but never give up! keep on going! the struggle is real. Also after these incredible hard and exhausting work out techniques it is important to sit on the couch, watch shows about other peoples lives and play video games for at least 12 hours a day...with sleep of course. Good luck! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
